For 30 years Jeffrey Epstein operated one of the largest sex trafficking rings in the world.

It was a vast web of powerful men committing horrific acts of violence against women and girls.

And it was in plain sight.

For decades our government didn't just look away, but they buried the truth.

The days of powerful men operating with impunity are officially over.
