In Part 2 of Predators in Power, we dig into Jeffrey Epstein’s first round of criminal charges and the shocking failures of the justice system that let him walk free. We also examine the trafficking that took place on his private island, “Little St. James”, where powerful guests came and went while abuse was hidden in plain sight. This episode unpacks how money, influence, and systemic corruption shielded Epstein from real accountability, and why his island remains a symbol of unchecked power and exploitation.

In our first installment of Pedophilia in Politics, we dive into the disturbing world of Jeffrey Epstein. The financier whose wealth and influence allowed him to operate a vast network of abuse for decades. We break down Epstein’s rise to power, his political and celebrity connections, the role of Ghislaine Maxwell, and the unanswered questions that remain years after his death. This episode explores how money, politics, and power collided to protect predators and silence victims, and why Epstein’s story is more than just a scandal. It’s a warning about systemic corruption.

This isn’t just a conversation. It’s an invitation to reimagine what strength really looks like.

In the final chapter of her story, Gabby shares the moment she uncovered a devastating truth: her father is a pedophile. What followed wasn’t justice or support. It was silence, denial, and manipulation. His family and new partner refused to believe the victim, twisting the narrative to protect him instead.

But despite their efforts to gaslight, dismiss, and discredit her, Gabby never let go of the truth. In this episode, she speaks from the scar, not the wound, with clarity, strength, and the kind of self-trust that only comes from surviving the unthinkable.

This is a story about what happens when people choose comfort over accountability and what it looks like to speak your truth anyway.
