Not a day goes past without headlines revealing the far-reaching global impact of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. In a special edition, we examine what lessons can be learned from the Epstein files and other similar scenarios; what they reveal about power, accountability and the systems which allowed the late paedophile's crimes to continue for so long. Annette Young is joined by Teresa Helm, an Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell survivor and now an advocate for survivors; Carré Otis, an American actor and model who herself has faced sexual violence and a Model Alliance board member; and Rachel Foster, co-founder and president of World Without Exploitation. The three discuss how this case has become an inflection point for society. #epsteinfiles #jeffreyepstein #ghislainemaxwell Read more about this story in our article: https://f24.my/Bz8y.y 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen

The crimes of the dead convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, now behind bars for sex trafficking, still reverberate globally as the political fallout continues. Years after many tried to ignore, minimize, or bury the truth, the case still casts a long shadow; in the United States, the Epstein files story continues to dominate American politics while in Britain, a prince has been stripped of his title. This panel asks whether in the post-#MeToo era women’s and girls’ testimonies carry the weight they should. Did the news media fail to give this story the sustained, rigorous coverage it deserved from the outset? And how can journalists protect survivors when reporting stories entangled with powerful institutions and individuals? The panel will explore what the media has learned — and what it still must learn — about reporting sexual abuse, navigating power, and ensuring that survivors’ safety remains at the centre of the story. The discussion will bring together three women with unique and essential perspectives. Moderated by Annette Young.
