Why a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein is demanding that the NYC Council reopen civil lawsuit window for sex abuse claims: ‘You have a choice’

Karine Silva, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s countless victims, implored the New York City Council last week to pass legislation empowering victims of sexual assault and gender-based violence in the Big Apple.

Silva spoke publicly for the first time at a committee hearing calling for passage of Intro. 1297, a bill that would reopen the “lookback window” allowing survivors to file civil lawsuits under the city’s Gender-Motivated Violence Act (GMVA).
