A woman who was trafficked from Cape Town to Jeffrey Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean and ranch in New Mexico says her entrapment was more than physical.

Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking ring extended all the way to Africa’s southern coast - held together by the invisible chains of psychological bondage that kept his victims ensnared for years at a time.

“Invisible chains is a good way to put it, it was like I was handcuffed invisibly,” says 43-year-old Juliette Bryant.

“I’d never even told my family, I never told anyone about what happened with him until he died.”

    It’s a little naive to think there was no overlap too

    If not with Epstein than with Maxwell’s dad before. Like that’s the whole point of an international trafficking ring for the purpose of blackmail…

    When you get one person, you make them snitch on everyone they know who’s also into it. Then you get them too. Wash and repeat as you collect powerful and influential people like Pokemon. Both operations were too large that not a single person was involved in just one. And the first person in both would have told both rings about the other.

    When Saville went down they at least got a couple other people. But the royal family was likely just throwing people under the bus to keep eyes off Andrew.

    Fully going after everyone on that list would drastically shake up a lot of the worlds governments, and the thing is that’s a good thing. Shit needed changing for a long time, but it needed a giant push like this to get people motivated to do it all in one go, and that’s the only way this works.
