US Congressman Thomas Massie has called for men implicated in the recently released Jeffrey Epstein files to be perp-walked. Speaking to BBC, Massie expressed his belief that “Men need to be perp-walked” following the unsealing of documents related to the sex trafficking case of the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The files, which were released on August 9, contain testimonies from Ghislaine Maxwell, a close associate of Epstein, as well as emails and depositions from other individuals connected to the case. Massie emphasized the importance of holding those involved in the case accountable and ensuring that justice is served.
Massie’s statement comes amidst ongoing scrutiny and speculation surrounding Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking operation and the potential involvement of other high-profile individuals. The case has garnered significant attention due to the wealth and power of Epstein’s social circle, which reportedly included politicians, celebrities, and business magnates.
It remains to be seen how Massie’s call for men to be perp-walked will be received and whether any further actions will be taken in response to the revelations from the Epstein files.
