US EditionEpstein survivors, Democrats unveil bill to end federal statute of limitations for sex trafficking
Legislation aims to remove trafficking statute of limitations and demand DOJ transparency on Epstein files, supported by Schumer and survivor families, to ensure justice for victims.
- On Tuesday, Virginia Giuffre's family will join lawmakers in Washington to announce Virginia's Law, eliminating statute of limitations that shield traffickers and deny survivors justice.
- Supporters note the effort builds on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández criticized for incomplete, redacted releases, advocating full transparency.
- 'Nobody's Girl,' Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir, reveals abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and claims of rape by Britain's Prince Andrew, renewing attention six months after her death.
- Public criticism has focused on the Department of Justice's handling of the files, noting roughly half of the Epstein files remain locked away, a concern linked to the Super Bowl ad highlighted by Schumer.
- The disclosures coincide with Prince Andrew relinquishing titles amid new allegations, revealed in three million pages released by the Justice Department including invitations linked to Buckingham Palace.
