Victims of Jeffrey Epstein gave emotional accounts of sexual abuse on Wednesday, as they spoke on the steps of the US Capitol and called for lawmakers to release more files about the convicted sex offender.
One of the women, Lisa Phillips, said the group had begun compiling a confidential list of Epstein associates who they say were involved in abuse
"We will confidentially compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world," she said. "It will be done by survivors, and for survivors."
The event was organised by US lawmakers who are calling for more files from the Epstein investigation to be released publicly.
During the two-hour news conference, nine female Epstein accusers detailed their experiences and abuse at the hands of the disgraced financier.
