As someone who grew up in WPB during some of Epstein’s reign, and with friends who are victims, I am incredibly saddened to have learned this. Thank you for all you did, Virginia.
This is horrifying and devastating news. Virginia was hounded and harassed by tabloids, a prominent Substack writer, and lawyers who sought to undermine her allegations. Others ignored her in their jokes and conspiracies about her abusers. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide
Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

When you have several old policing textbooks and they all refer to CRB’s as a “popular idea with critics of the police” and “Police have been successful in preventing the establishment of CRBs.” 😐
