Jeffrey Epstein accusers announce they will compile list of clients in emotional speech

Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019 by suicide before his trial could begin

The victims of Jeffrey Epstein have revealed they will compile the names of high-profile clients who they allege sexually abused them.

Speaking on the steps of the US Capitol, Lisa Phillips, shared that a group of victims had been compiling a confidential list of Epstein clients - all of whom they claim were involved in the abuse.

The former financier was arrested in 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking minors, which was supposedly done with the help of a number of elite socialites.

Mostly, it was through the help of his long-term partner Ghislaine Maxwell.

However, Epstein died by suicide in his prison cell in 2019 before the trail could begin.

At the time, Epstein's lawyers said they were doubtful he actually killed himself despite the official cause of death, leading to mass conspiracy theories surrounding the way he died.

Many believe he was ‘killed’ due to a client list he was going to reveal.

Even though the FBI claims there is no such thing, speculation has been rife about who could be on it, and why.

While we may never know if there is an official list of documents that Epstein kept close, Phillips and others hope to expose some of those who they say were actively involved in the abuse.

"We will confidentially compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world," she said in the clip. "It will be done by survivors, and for survivors."

Her speech comes as US lawmakers call for more Epstein files be released to the public.

The conference included nine female Epstein accusers, who all detailed their experiences and abuse.

Phillips called for the Department of Justice to release all the documents and information, which could help victims from being exposed to backlash if they were to release names themselves.


Marina Lacerda said she worked for Epstein from the age of 14 until she was 17, and then she was deemed ‘too old’ to continue.

"I was one of dozens of girls that I personally know who were forced into Jeffrey's mansion... in New York City when we were just kids," she said.

"A friend of mine in the neighbourhood told me that I could make $300 to give another guy a massage," she added. "It went from a dream job to the worst nightmare."

One woman, Chauntae Davies, went on to talk about Donald Trump’s alleged friendship with Epstein, calling the sex offender the ‘biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump’.

"He had a framed picture of him on his desk, with the two of them," she said.

As for Trump’s reaction to reports that he was associated with Epstein, he previously labelled the continued attention to Epstein and his crimes a 'Democrat hoax'.

He said: “Those files were run by the worst scum on Earth. They were run by Comey, they were run by Garland, they were run by Biden, and all of the people that actually ran the government, including the auto pen.

“Those files were run for four years by those people. If they had anything, I assume they would have released it.”
