I am writing out of alarm, anger, and moral outrage at the continued revelations surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files and the appalling pattern they expose: powerful people shielded from accountability while victims were ignored, silenced, or discarded. I was 13 the first time I was sexually assaulted. I was at my piano lesson and my teacher touched me and made me uncomfortable. I slipped around the other side of the piano, afraid but trying to placate him and anxious to get away. He trapped me in the waiting room when I paused to pick up my backpack. He then assaulted me. It turned me from a happy-go-lucky kid to a scared child afraid to be alone with any man. I am not that scared child anymore. It is my responsibility to speak out against child rapists. I am demanding an investigation and consequences. The names that continue to surface in connection with Epstein—particularly that of President Donald Trump—horrify and sicken me. No office, including the presidency, places anyone above scrutiny. As adults we need to ensure this behavior stops and is punished. As parents we owe it to the country's children to keep them safe from pedophiles. I strongly condemn all individuals named in the Epstein files whose conduct, associations, or actions suggest complicity, indifference, or participation in these crimes. I will not accept words and grandstanding. I will only accept action. Congress must immediately initiate full impeachment hearings to determine the extent of the President's complicity and participation and then punish him to the fullest extent of the law. Failure to do so sends a chilling message: that wealth, fame, and political power still outweigh the suffering of victims and the rule of law. That message is unacceptable. History will remember what Congress did—or refused to do—at this moment. I urge you to release all relevant files, protect whistleblowers and survivors, and pursue impeachment hearings wherever the evidence leads. Justice demands nothing less.
