Epstein survivor thinks serial sex offender would be 'proud'

Lisa Phillips, an Epstein survivor, believes the notorious financier would be proud of the survivors for speaking out against sexual abuse. The podcast host, who met Epstein in 2000, says the release of the Epstein files validated her experiences of grooming and abuse. While the US Department of Justice claims it published all significant records, many survivors' personal information was not redacted, causing distress.

Conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein's death in prison in 2019 persist, with his brother and lawyer denying he took his own life. Phillips thinks Epstein would be proud of the survivors for standing up and using their voices to combat sexual abuse.
