Epstein survivor Dani Bensky condemns U.S. handling of released case files
Survivor Dani Bensky says the United States has mishandled the release of Jeffrey Epstein documents and has sued two of his former associates.
Dani Bensky recounts meeting Jeffrey Epstein in 2004 after a peer suggested she could earn money giving him a massage, which led to a series of manipulative encounters exploiting her ballet ambitions. Over the next year Epstein threatened her family and coerced her, culminating in physical assault. After Epstein’s 2019 death, Bensky was summoned by the FBI in 2008 and again in 2019, experiences she says lacked proper victim support.
She argues that the Justice Department, under Attorney General Todd Blanche, has released about three million of the six million documents without initiating further prosecutions, leaving victims’ personal data exposed. In 2024 she sued Epstein’s former lawyer Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn, who have not been apprehended, while noting that only Ghislaine Maxwell remains imprisoned.
