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.”

    If crimes go unpunished, we need a serious overhaul of our “Justice system”.

    If there are two-tiers of justice, that isn’t justice — it is corruption with a mask.

      You have a Legal Sytem. You’ve never ever had a Justice System. They are different things, though often confused.

        Good point. I’ve heard that, recently, too. Didn’t pass through my consciousness while writing the post.
