'Angry' Epstein victim says 'justice must still be served'
When Jeffrey Epstein was found dead by suicide on Saturday morning, it put the case against him in limbo. The criminal proceedings involving sex trafficking allegations against Epstein are likely finished since he was the only person indicted, but his accusers and their lawyers have said they will not sit idly by.
Jennifer Araoz, who accused Epstein of raping her when she was 15, said she was "angry" Epstein won't have to "face his survivors" in court, but "justice must still be served."
Araoz continues: “the pain and trauma he caused so many people. Epstein is gone, but justice must still be served. I hope the authorities will pursue and prosecute his accomplices and enablers, and ensure redress for his victims.”

Brad Edwards, an attorney for several of Epstein's accusers echoed Araoz, urging anyone with information to come forward. "The victims deserved to see Epstein held accountable, and he owed it to everyone he hurt to accept responsibility for all of the pain he caused," Edwards said.
