‘Four women who say they're survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring appeared at the New York State Capitol on Monday, testifying at the NYS Senate Codes Committee meeting.

They told their stories, while advocating for the passage of legislation they saw would strengthen accountability and the timing in which an individual is able to report a crime.

Two of the four survivors told their story for the first time on Monday. Alexandra Golematis says she was first sexually abused by Epstein when she was 14.

"What was going through my head was overwhelming fear, shame, and confusion," Golematis said. "He sexually abused me like this for years, every time a similar, except one time he used my vulnerability against me and began escalating his behavior.

She said the Epstein estate has invoked the Statute of Limitations when responding to her allegations and calls for justice. She was joined at the table by Glendys Espinal, who also was stepping forward for the first time.

"I met Epstein when I started my sophomore year in high school. After I met him, he manipulated, first tricked me into massaging him," Espinal said. "Because I was sex trafficked to Epstein, I have suffered to this date from PTSD, extreme anxiety and depression...It is very important for me that the sex trafficking laws pass so that I and other victims of Jeffrey can receive justice, accountability and protection under the law."

Despite the continual push by some to weaken this nations health, there appear to be a handful in the Republican party that have not rejected science for partisan non-sense. Hopefully they keep the fight up and do what they can to keep their state healthy
