Dear Friend,

Courage is contagious. 

This is something I see play out every day as people like you step up to raise their voice. 

I want to share with you an encouraging story of

how Epstein survivors are helping people

in big ways, even amidst ongoing calls for transparent accountability.  

Last week, NCOSE heard from a survivor of intimate partner violence, who kept silent about what happened to her for

nearly thirty years.

  But then, something happened. 

“This morning, I was inspired by a clip of Teresa Helm on MSNBC discussing the ways the Epstein coverup is impacting all survivors and

I felt seen and I felt the burden of my untold story,”

the survivor says.

And so, drawing courage from Teresa and the brave Epstein survivors,

she broke her 30 years of silence.

She explained how she was groomed and sexually exploited by her 40-year-old boss at age 19, while working in a pizza shop in Ohio. She shared details of their abusive relationship— how he would brag to her about his abuse of other girls and women, how he would make her feel guilty about going to class or studying, how he would throw out her birth control pills…  

This woman stayed silent for decades until, finally, the Epstein coverup moved her to tell her story.

“I’ve been triggered by … the lack of justice, not just now but for decades—and of course being someone who never had a path for justice, it’s really burned,” this brave survivor says.  

“The most disheartening thing about it is knowing that has been going on from the very top to the very bottom of society.

It’s going on with these billionaires that people like Epstein and Maxwell pander to and it’s going on in the backrooms of pizza shops in rural Ohio

. 

“That’s why my story became too heavy to keep to myself this morning. I wanted to add it to the chorus.

My hope is: more stories, more voices, less violence.” 

We are so grateful for this brave survivor who has decided to add her powerful voice to the call for change!  

Like I said, courage is contagious. I hope hearing this woman’s story ignites a spark in you as well. 

Please stand with her and all survivors, and

make sure their voices are heard!
