Victims Feeling Anxious, Exhausted

SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, AUG 6 – Alicia Arden urges public release of Epstein files amid ongoing subpoenas in the investigation, highlighting frustration over government inaction and emotional impact on victims.

  • Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted in 2021 of aiding Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of minors, was moved from a Florida federal prison to a low-security camp in Texas after a nine-hour Justice Department interview late last month.
  • This development comes amid ongoing legal and public debates over unsealing grand jury transcripts related to Epstein and Maxwell, with prosecutors asking courts to release them while Maxwell's attorney opposes it.
  • Several victims and their attorneys have submitted letters supporting the transcripts' release under government review and redaction, while also expressing distress over Maxwell's perceived public legitimization and concerns of possible clemency deals.
  • Alleged victim Alicia Arden held a press conference in Los Angeles, urging the administration to release files promptly, recalling her 1997 police report against Epstein for sexual battery and describing lasting emotional pain.
  • The Justice Department's request to unseal transcripts aims partly to placate public demand for transparency amid political pressure, while two judges will decide on release after hearing victims' views, and high-profile depositions are scheduled.
