Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. Over the years, we have heard from a
lot of women and girls who are abused by Jeffrey
Epstein and Glenn Maxwell. But the truth is a vast
majority of the women and girls who were abused have
never come forward and have never spoken publicly about what happened. Well,
in Jeffrey Epstein's case in twenty nineteen, when he was indicted,
there was a victim who was called minor Victim number one. Well,
minor Victim number one is now speaking publicly for the
first time about her abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein.
So let's just dive right into the article and let's
see what she has to say. Headlined. We need the
Epstein files to be out. Central witness in Epstein's case
speaks publicly for the first time. Marina Leserta was minor
victim number one in Epstein's indictment. Sources say this article
was authored by Peter Charlemboose and James Hill. The woman
who provided critical evidence that allowed federal prosecutors to charge
Jeffrey Epstein with sex trafficking of minors in twenty nineteen
is speaking out publicly for the first time, urging lawmakers
to release records related to the convicted sex offender to
help his victims heal. Sources say that Marina Lecerta, thirty seven,
was identified in Epstein's twenty nineteen indictment as minor victim
number one and provided key information that helped prosecutors put
the sex offender behind bars. Can you imagine what this
lady has lived with all these years, knowing she is
minor victim number one and just keep him quiet because
she knew what would happen, right, She knew the nonsense
that would come her way. But now I think that
the chips have hit the table, and I think we're
going to be hearing from a lot of people that
have been silent in the past. And I think that
when you call something like this a hoax, you say
it's just you know, made up political rhetoric, You're going
to open the door to people who have actually been
abused to step up and say, hey, the only hoax
is the fact that you don't want to pursue this.
Speaking publicly for the first time, in an interview with
ABC News, Licerta called on the Trump administration to release
their records related to Epstein and encouraged other survivors of
abuse to come forward. And I think we'll see more
people coming forward. Like I said previously, when you have
one person step up like Marina's doing right here, that
usually leads to more. We saw what happened when Virginia
stepped up, so I think we might be in store
for something like that happening now. I mean, how many
of these young girls have we talked about in these depositions,
in these documents that were being taken from places like
mc squared to live at Jeffrey Epstein's house. And when
we hear that this lady, Missleserta, is from Brazil, it
all makes sense, right. Think back to the deposition that
we read recently from Missus Vasquez talking about Jean lup
Bernell mc squared and there are trips down to South America.
It all comes into focus, doesn't it. And that's why
the document dumps are important because it confirms things that
we already knew. And the insidious part is this, they
know that. That's why they don't release the documents. They
know that there's people out there that are going to
tie it all together and put the pieces together and
they can't have their narrative blown apart right, So here
we are. I would like for them to give all
the victims transparency right to what happened and release these files.
It's not only for the victims, but for the American people,
Lecerta told ABC News Lindsay Davis regarding Epstein, the wealthy
financier and convicted sex offender who died by suicide allegedly
in a New York jail in twenty nineteen. Investigators for
his contact with Lecerta in two thousand and eight, but
Epstein secured a controversial and once secret non prosecution agreement
with federal prosecutors before she could tell a Grand Jerry
about her allegations of childhood sexual abuse. Investigators returned to
Leserta more than ten years later, using her experiences to
build a case that charged Epstein with sex trafficking miners
in New York. According to the indictment, Licerta first met
Epstein when she was fourteen years old in two thousand
and two, when she was recruited to come to his
palatial New York home to provide a massage to Epstein,
an interaction that ultimately led to years of sexual abuse.
His house was a revolving door. There was always girls,
Licerta told ABC News if he was in New York,
he had his weak prepped to see as many girls
as possible. I would say he was seeing about five
to maybe eight women, maybe even more, maybe up to
ten women a day. Well, no one, mister egg dick
and is disgusting. As proclivities, I don't put it past them.
So if miss Leserta says that she saw up to
ten women a day going in and out of there,
I believe her. After immigrating from Brazil with her family,
Licerta said that she was living in Queen's and sharing
a single bedroom with her mother and sister when she
first met Epstein. A friend first introduced her to the financier,
framing it as an opportunity to make money to support
her family. The typical EMO find a vulnerable girl, drag
her into the web and start grooming her and normalizing
the abuse. She said that you know, I was going
to massage somebody and there wasn't much specifics. Lyserta said,
I wasn't expecting what led on to that day because
I think with Jeffrey Epstein, it starts somewhere, but then
it ends either you having sex with him, whether you
like it or not. Over the next three years, Lycerta
said she became part of a growing network of your
girls recruited by Epstein in New York, meeting and being
forced to have sex with a disgraced financier two to
three times a week. He forced me to have sex
with him. Basically, I really had no choice, she said,
fourteen year old girl. Keep that in mind, okay. Leserta
said Epstein eventually paid her thousands of dollars, and she
believed being associated with the financier would open doors for
her as an immigrant from Brazil. She recalled that Epstein
displayed photos of high profile celebrities and politicians in his
home and that he conducted phone calls with high profile individuals.
I thought that if I just played along, that I
wouldn't be this immigrant from Brazil, you know, and that
I would have something to look forward to, she said.
And Epstein, along with Jean Luke Brunel, they loved to
exploit that that was one of the levers that they
love to pull on. They would have these girls here
from all these countries, whether it's Eastern Europe, South America, whatever,
and a lot of these girls would be here on
visas or the promise of a visa that was provided
by Epstein and Jean Luke Brunel. But what really happened
is they ended up coming here and getting abused. But
Lacerta said, Epstein's interest in her faded as she grew
older and she began recruiting other women for him. It
came to a point when I was I'd say sixteen
and a half or seventeen, he didn't want me anymore.
He was just like, you're too old, she said. Years later,
Lycerta said the FBI agents arrived at her doorstep to
ask questions about Epstein. She said she immediately called Epstein,
who provided her with a lawyer. While she prepared to
speak to the grand jury in two thousand and eight
about Epstein, the opportunity was cut short when Epstein secured
a deal with prosecutors. Imagine that shit. All these girls
were lined up to speak against him, and he just
miraculously gets this deal. Oh, I'm sure that alex Acosta
was the one pulling the strings right, the all powerful
alex Acosta. I would felt much better today speaking if
I was able to speak in two thousand and eight.
She said, if they give me the chance to speak,
these women would not be through this. She's not wrong.
How many people would have avoided the abuse if he
didn't get that deal. And that's why the NPA is
so garbage. That's why the NPA has to be done
away with. We should just accept it. Why why should
we accept it? Why should we think that that's okay. Well,
i'll tell you what. I don't think it's okay, and
I never will. A guy like Jeffrey Epstein shouldn't get
a deal like that, especially one that protects unnamed co conspirators.
Are you kidding me? Right now? Eleven years later, the
FBI contacted Licerda again as New York prosecutors opened the
case into Epstein. Her experience ultimately provided prosecutors with key
information to unravel his alleged network of child sex abuse
in New York. Again with the alleged there's no alleged here.
This is what happenedople were molested, Jeffrey Epstein diddling kids,
no need for the alleged. The Trump administration has been
dealing with the fallout from its decision not to release
materials related to the investigation into Epstein, following the blowback
it received from MAGA supporters after it announced last month
that no additional files would be released. Epstein, whose private
island estate was in the US Virgin Islands, has long
been rumored to have kept a client list of celebrities
and politicians, which right wing influencers have baselessly accused authorities
of hiding. So all of a sudden, ABC News is
boot licking. Now, look, I don't believe there's a list,
but let's not act like it's just MAGA who was
asking for it. And that's certainly a problem with a
lot of these journalists. They can't help themselves. Just report
the news, bro, you start talking like that. That's why
people think it's a big hoax. Right, Oh well, it's
just another political hit job. Did you see so and
So's article. Just give us a neutral reporting of the news, Okay,
save the opinions for the opinion pieces. The Justice Department
in the FBI announced in July that they had found
no evidence at Epstein kept a client list, after several
top officials before joining the administration had themselves accused of
the government of shielding information regarding the Epstein case. On Tuesday,
Lacerta met with congressional lawmakers alongside other survivors of Epstein
decades after her abuse. She said the incestan coverage of
Epstein and the lack of transparency only exacerbate the harm
suffered by his victims. We need to have transparency, We
need the Epstein files to be out, she said. Today
I spoke about it. I want to have my files
so that I can begin to heal. And over the
next few days, I'm sure we're going to hear from
a lot of other women who we haven't heard from before,
and like usual, we'll be here every step of the way.
