Trump has signed legislation compelling the Justice Department to release the files on Jeffrey Epstein. Marina Lacerda publicly identified herself less than three months ago as someone who was abused by Epstein. She says the abuse started when she was 14 and ended when he told her she was too old, at the age of 17. Lacerda says she’s relieved the files are going to become public. But some survivors are concerned about the sudden political shift and the potential for manipulation. Despite these fears, they remain hopeful for a public reckoning and a step toward healing.
