Marina Lacerda has stated that she was subjected to a massive amount of online abuse after her name became publicly known in connection with the Epstein files, as seen in the photo taken by REUTERS/Maria Alejandra Cardona.
Nearly two dozen individuals who have accused Epstein of wrongdoing informed Reuters that the act of speaking out about their experiences led to them receiving threats and being subjected to relentless harassment, with some of these incidents occurring after their identities were revealed through files released by the Justice Department.
Some of these individuals have now resorted to carrying weapons for protection and are living in a state of constant fear as a result of the online attacks and intimidation they are facing, which have ultimately transformed their lives in profound ways.
The individuals who have accused Epstein of wrongdoing have come forward to discuss how their lives have been profoundly impacted by feelings of fear and the need for constant vigilance.
