For a lot of people, the files the US Justice department has on convicted sex offender and millionaire Jeffery Epstein are just something to speculate about or turn into political ammunition. But for the women he abused, they're something far more important, a chance to move closer to justice and finally expose the network that let him get away with sexually assaulting women, some underage, for so long. Jess Michaels is one of those survivors. She says she was first abused by Jeffrey Epstein in 1991. The assault upended her life, taking away her stability, career, and health. She's since found new purpose advocating alongside other survivors. She has an App that helps friends and family of survivors better understand what they can do to support anyone who has been through this devastating experience. Here's a link to her app. And if you, or someone you know, needs help or someone to talk to, please text 1737 for free confidential help.
