Survivor recounts Epstein abuse during house arrest at congressional hearing

Roza, recruited from Uzbekistan by Epstein associate Jean-Luc Brunel, testified at a West Palm Beach field hearing hosted by House Democrats that Epstein molested her for three years while he was under house arrest for soliciting a minor, including meetings at his Florida Science Foundation and a role that allowed him to leave custody for part of each day; the hearing, not legally binding, aimed to spotlight how Epstein and accomplices evaded accountability and how the justice system failed victims, referencing the 2008 plea deal and DOJ redaction errors. Another survivor, Maria Farmer, delivered a recorded message urging truth from authorities, underscoring ongoing concerns about investigations into Epstein’s crimes.
