I very Well Could have been an Epstein victim [View all]

I very Well Could have been an Epstein victim , but I was someone else's victim back in 89.
I was a student at DVC and I saw sign on the bulletin board for a modeling job
with "California Girls" . I called the number . At 19 I traveled alone to a giant
house where I was courted with all the rock stars I would see in my job .
He served sushi (yuck) I pretended to like it.

Then he said He needed some pictures and led me to his Garage that was made into a photo shoot
place full of racks of Skimpy Lingerie . I posed for pictures in said lingerie. What happened next
I'm super ashamed of . suffice to say I did not go back. shortly after I dropped out of College and
self destructed into Crank for a year. I have never Told anyone , I just told Proud hubby for the
first time (tears) .

Why did it take til I'm 56 to find the Courage to speak and realize that I was a targeted victim of a
predator? Well if those Epstein survivors can stand up to the POWERFUL Billionaire Child sex
trafficking Cabal I can tell my Truth. The Epstein survivors ARE HEROES .

Let's believe the survivors .
