Survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein released a powerful public service announcement (PSA) on Super Bowl Sunday calling for full transparency from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in what they describe as the largest sex-trafficking scandal in the world. The emotional video features survivors speaking directly to the public, demanding Americans stand with them and pressure Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all information related to the case.

Why it matters

The timing of the commercial during one of the most-watched television events of the year demonstrates survivors' determination to keep public pressure on the DOJ. Despite the DOJ's recent release of millions of Epstein-related records, survivors and their advocates argue more transparency is needed.

The details

Epstein's criminal history spans over a decade, with the investigation beginning in 2005 when parents of a 14-year-old girl reported she had been molested at the millionaire's Palm Beach, Florida, home. In 2008-09, he served jail time in Florida after pleading guilty to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl, despite police evidence showing he abused multiple underage girls. He was arrested again in 2019 on sex-trafficking charges but died in jail a month later in what was ruled a suicide. His associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in 2022 for helping recruit underage victims and is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.

What they’re saying

“You don't 'move on' from the largest sex trafficking ring in the world. You expose it.”

— Epstein survivors (Super Bowl PSA)

“We took great pains...to make sure that we protected victims. Every time we hear from a victim or their lawyer that they believe that their name was not properly redacted, we immediately rectify that.”

— Todd Blanche, Deputy Attorney General (ABC News)

“We have very little faith in the DOJ at this point.”

— Danielle Bensky, Epstein survivor (CNN)

What’s next

Starting later this week, members of Congress will be able to begin reviewing the unredacted version of the Epstein files, according to two sources familiar with the DOJ's plans.

The takeaway

This case highlights the ongoing battle for transparency and accountability in the Epstein scandal, with survivors demanding the full truth be revealed despite the DOJ's efforts to protect victims' identities. The public pressure campaign during the Super Bowl aims to keep this issue in the national spotlight and push for further disclosure of information related to one of the largest sex trafficking scandals in modern history.
