In this episode, Aislinn talks about not only the crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, but those in power that enabled him. Going through the timeline of the police investigation into victims' claims, some disturbing revelations about those meant to carry out the law unfold. Did US District Attorney Alex Acosta enter into a conspiracy to give Epstein the deal of a lifetime?
Even with such a powerful man's help, however, those fighting for the survivors would not rest. When Acosta's plea deal got overturned and Epstein was forced to stand trial once more, however, the disgusting man was found dead in his jail cell before it even began. Was this his way of escaping punishment for his heinous acts? Or did one of his former friends want to keep him quiet?
There's a lot to unpack here, and the best way to do it is by sharing the truths of those who matter most in the case: the survivors.
