Hey Sinister Listeners…
We know you’ve been waiting for this one.
Covering a case that has unfolded over more than twenty years isn't so simple, especially when new information is still coming out. Even now, files continue to be released, photos uncovered, and names exposed. There are simply too many stories, victims, and connections to responsibly cover in a single episode.
Because of that, we made the decision to split this case into two parts—the first multi-part episode SP has ever done! This choice was made to do the case justice and avoid condensing decades of harm into a single, overwhelming episode.
Part 1: Intro to the Island lays the groundwork from the very beginning:
Epstein’s early life
The first victims to come forward
The formation of a deeply corrupted network designed to protect him
Part 2 will shift focus to what came after his arrest—what followed within the American justice system, the government response, and the ongoing release of files—so you’re fully caught up on where this case stands today.
This case is disturbing, complex, and still unfolding. This episode required extensive research and difficult conversations, and we approached it with care and empathy for the victims at the center of this story. We want to acknowledge that there are many victims whose experiences we are unable to tell in full. This decision was made to keep the episode focused, respectful, and accessible—not to diminish their suffering.
We encourage you to listen intentionally, protect your mental well-being, and reach out for support if needed. Above all, we center the victims whose stories deserve to be heard.
— S & G
_______________________________________________________Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just a wealthy financier.
He was the center of a decades-long web of sexual exploitation, abuse of power, and institutional failure—one that continues to unravel even after his death.
In this two-part series, Sinister Psyche hosts Gabi and Sonia examine how Epstein built his influence, how victims were silenced, and how powerful systems enabled his crimes.
