Description

More than a decade ago, mysterious financier Jeffrey Epstein was investigated by local and federal authorities in Florida for allegedly sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls. But despite what appeared to be overwhelming evidence of a horrifying pattern of abuse, Epstein managed to escape all but minor charges, striking a sweetheart deal with the government that required him to spend just 13 months in jail while granting him and his alleged co-conspirators immunity from federal prosecution. Years later, in the wake of Epstein's sudden arrest and shocking demise, those teenage girls -- now women -- are still seeking answers to their fundamental questions about their abuser and his allies. In dozens of interviews, ABC News' Mark Remillard, reporting with the ABC News Investigative Unit, shares the stories of those women, who have fought to have their voices heard, as well as the lawyers and investigators who tried to bring Epstein to justice. And we retrace Epstein's rise from modest roots to the very intersection of wealth and power, seeking to uncover the forces that shielded Epstein from justice.

They’re responsible for covering up this story for years and now that he’s dead and gone are meant to be a trusted source illuminating his mistakes? Please find someone who didn’t help cover up a serial rapist’s misdeeds only to profit after he’s gone instead. Hardly credible. Profiting off the story after his death and after they sat and ignored it while alive. Pathetic

What about the fact that ABC had ALL the info for 3-4 years and they squashed it to protest their access to the Royal family and the Clintons etc. Your own anchor said so on a hot microphone!

Well done...

They are not making money off of people, they want to make others aware of what happened with jefferey Epstein, and although he didn’t kill himself, we can all agree that these people are just trying to make media and make aware to others of what happened.

An interesting listen. However, the narration often sounds robotic. I felt the same about The Dropout, but this is much more extreme. Tone of a podcast should feel more natural, in my opinion; this definitely sounds like TV narration. Also agree with some of the other comments about the use of muffled, difficult to understand audio clips. It’s unpleasant for listeners and detracts from the overall production.

Better than the Wondery podcast...

You sat on the story for years while he terrorized young girls and their families. Now you want to profit from it. ABC disgusts me.

If only the state and federal authorities had employed the same investigative skills and time as those who worked on this story did, the lives of many young women wouldn’t have been shattered. Great job of reporting. Well written and edited.

Please don’t include audio that is so muffled and difficult to understand. Your listeners can’t make out what is being said and we’re straining to understand. There’s no value to it!

Why has ABC at on this for years?

A heartbreaking account of Epstein's perversions from the girls who were victimized while the powerful and wealthy looked the other way. I can only hope there are criminal charges filed against those who participated and they spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Sure, suppress it when it matters and then cash in after the story breaks and he’s dead (murdered). ABC you are repugnant.

Wow the format, the details. this podcast is definitely a must hear. it definitely paints a story in so much detail that really draws you in to this very complex life/lives and how they intertwine. so many victims and yet the horrific truth how women are just seen as this thing with a hole that anyone can just stick it in to. It’s the truth as bad as it sounds. And it is so sad and I am so proud to be woman during this time. Because only we can make each other stronger and build one another up.

I like this podcast a lot. I do think it’s humorous that ABC is doing all of this investigative work on Epstein, when they had the story years ago but killed the story. So years later...now...we are just unraveling this Mr. Epstein when we should have captured him years ago. Still, I like the podcast.

Continue the exposure and people that were paid and intimidated to cover this. Please keep the truth moving forward. And don’t let this be something that the public forgets and moves on from. Listen to the Mysterious Mr. Epstein, Real Crime Profile, and all the others devoted to exposing the truth.

Very odd

ABC News knew about these stories years before it all came out, they were keeping these stories from getting out in order to protect Jeffrey Epstein.

This podcast is so far truly phenomenal because of its focus on the victims. I am very curious about Epstein but I feel that the voices of the women he affected have been drowned out by the “meme” around this man’s death. This podcast explores both the crimes of Epstein but also how the institutions meant to protect the victims instead protected this monster. Great job ABC investigative unit!

All of the negative reviews here are from people who have not listened to the podcast. Though I was also skeptical at first given the situation surrounding it, I decided to give it a shot and I’m glad I did as it’s probably the best audio reporting on Epstein to which I’ve listened. Definitely looking forward to listening to the remainder of the series.

The prevailing question with me, is why did ABC sit this story for so long (basically covering it up) until it till it was “discovered”? Who was responsible for making sure this information wasn’t revealed? Seems like some “influential” people, incriminated by and personally involved with Epstein, were using their status to keep it suppressed.

So much more than just Epstein

Found it interesting that no mention of how ABC sat on this story for THREE years, in order to protect Hillary Clinton’s campaign, since it is clear that Bill Clinton was involved in underage girls too. Wonder how many girls could have been saved, had ABC gone public when they had the story!!!
