Survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein spoke Tuesday at a Democratic-led hearing in West Palm Beach, Florida, just miles from where Epstein once resided.

Democratic lawmakers used the hearing to criticize the Department of Justice over its handling of the Epstein case. The so-called shadow hearing featured no Republican lawmakers.

Survivors called for more accountability and criticized the DOJ's handling of files related to Epstein, including concerns that their names were unredacted from documents despite promises of privacy.

"I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times," said one survivor, who asked to remain anonymous. "While the rich and powerful remain protected by redaction, my name was exposed to the world," she added.

4. Good questions. I have been wondering about that all along.

When/how will this Epstein episode end? i see no end in sight.

5. Class action suit against the guilty?

That's how everything else is settled these days.

6. Many of the victims

have not come forward due to fear of retaliation by rich powerful perpetrators.

This would be a great time for some really really really rich billionaire to come forward and offer to protect all of them with body guards and security measures which could free them up to finally spill the beans.

We are at a stand off right now. And unless things change drastically in the DC power balance, or other countries get their hands on the names of the perps and bring cases of their own, then nothing is going to happen. Not for at least 2 more years.

Someone like Warren Buffet who I think was not involved. He could be quite the hero.
