Jeffrey Epstein survivors pushed state lawmakers Monday to pass legislation that would not only remove the statute of limitations currently preventing them from suing his estate but also hold those who enable and benefit from sex trafficking criminally liable — including hotels accepting bookings and banks opening accounts tied to sex traffickers.
Lara Blume McGee, who said she was groomed, manipulated, raped and blackmailed by Epstein after being enticed with a Victoria’s Secret modeling contract as a teenager, told senators that “abuse is often enabled by a broader network of people and companies who shield the abuser and silence the victim.”
