Surviving Jeffrey Epstein
Channel: eReality (Openview 108)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Documentary Series, True Crime
A year after disgraced financier and sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein was found hanged in his jail cell, Lifetime reveals the horrifying truth of his three-decade reign of abuse, through the eyes of the survivors: some of whom are speaking here for the first time.
The four-hour documentary series Surviving Jeffrey Epstein divulges the full extent of the international sex trafficking network devised by the reclusive billionaire to feed his sexual cravings.
In addition, it reveals how he used his connections with the rich and powerful to evade detection and prosecution.
The series provides a platform for the survivors of Epstein's systematic abuse to share their stories as we gain unparalleled insight into one of the most talked about and widespread abuse scandals in history.
With testimonies from attorneys on both sides of the case, psychologists and expert journalists offer a comprehensive view of the case of Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged global human trafficking network for the rich and powerful.
The first two parts of the series detail the survivors' stories of the mysterious billionaire who lured them, as young teenagers, to his home through an elaborate series of female recruiters they thought they could trust.
As the documentary progresses into part two, we hear how Epstein replicated his assaults at a number of his properties.
With Epstein's behaviour continuing unchecked for years, Virginia Roberts Giuffre offered explosive insight into the exploitative operation Epstein had created.
Epstein's crimes weren't just committed on the east coast - his sprawling compound in New Mexico was also the location of many assaults on young girls that were lured to his property, made possible by the vast donations he made to political figures in the state.
Episodes three and four focus on Epstein's private island and how his sex trafficking operated on a global scale, as well as the recent arrest of alleged co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew's alleged complicity.
To date, Prince Andrew has denied wrongdoing and has not been charged with any crime.
