Epstein's Victim: Marina Lacerda's Trauma & Justice

0:00On April 19th, Marina, La Serra, a Brazilian immigrant abused by Jeffrey Epstein from age 14 to 17, mostly got targeted in the massage room. Of his $77 million Manhattan mansion, he never let her into his bedroom, seeing her as untrustworthy. But once, at 16 or 17, he brought her in there with an 18-year-old Brazilian model he was obsessed with, promising a special day of, fun. Ben things escalated when Epstein announced his friend was joining. Galaine Maxwell walked in, and both adults raped La Serra and the model using sex toys. La Serra blacked out most details, but remembers the white sheets and being on her knees while they played with the girls. She waved her anonymity last September to speak for other victims, only piecing this memory together after Maxwell's 2020 arrest. Maxwell got 20 years in prison in June 2022 for trafficking teens to Epstein, but victims slammed her recent move to a cushy, minimum security spot in Texas, calling it preferential treatment.

Her story spotlights how Epstein and Maxwell prayed on the vulnerable, and it fuels calls for no mercy on enablers still facing scrutiny.
