Survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell have launched a Super Bowl advert, calling on the Justice Department to bring all those implicated in the sex trafficking ring to justice.
The campaign video was unveiled by World Without Exploitation on Sunday, timed to coincide with one of the year's most-watched advertising events. The advert showcases a group of survivors making an impassioned appeal to the Department of Justice, particularly Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging the release of all investigative documents connected to Epstein's case, as mandated by Congress's Epstein Files Transparency Act.
As each survivor addresses the camera directly, their collective voices unite to declare: 'After years of being kept apart, we're standing together, because this girl deserves the truth.' The women then presented photographs of themselves as youngsters - at the age when they claim to have first encountered Epstein - whilst demanding that details about other individuals involved be disclosed to the public.
The advert is set to broadcast on national television just one day before members of Congress are due to examine the unredacted Epstein files for the first time. The examination is expected to occur in person at the Department of Justice in Washington. Members will review the investigative materials on the department's computers, but will not be permitted to handle the physical documents.
According to correspondence sent to members of Congress by the DOJ, only the lawmakers themselves will be granted access to the files, excluding their staff. They will be permitted to take notes but must not bring any electronic devices. The advert will also launch a week after the DOJ releases a fresh batch of materials, including more than 3 million pages of documents relating to the investigation.
