Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein will testify publicly on Tuesday
- House Oversight Committee Democrats are holding a field hearing today, Tuesday, May 12, 2026, in West Palm Beach to examine how Jeffrey Epstein avoided federal prosecution for years.
- Democratic Congresswoman Lois Frankel selected Palm Beach County because the original prosecution failed there, allowing Epstein to avoid federal charges with a secret plea deal more than 20 years ago.
- Marina Lacerda and other survivors will testify publicly under oath for the first time, seeking to hold officials accountable for systemic failures that protected a powerful predator.
- Attorney Jack Scarola labeled the event a 'shadow hearing' lacking subpoena power, arguing lawmakers should prioritize legislative fixes to the Crime Victims' Rights Act instead.
- While seeking accountability, Scarola noted that a deeply divided Congress makes substantive legislative reform difficult, leaving survivors skeptical this hearing will provide definitive answers.
