>Maria Jose Rodriguez Cadiz, who heads Solace Sexual Assault Services in Santa Fe, the only such support center in the region, told Reuters in an interview that in 2019, the year Epstein was arrested and then found dead in a jail cell, around 45 people approached the center to seek information, therapy and other services in ​relation to alleged sexual abuse ​at the ranch. It's estimated that 50% of sexual abuse survivors seek counseling following an attack. If 45 people approached this center you have to wonder how many more people didn't report or seek counseling elsewhere.

You make a really good point. Unfortunately, that data is based on a 2008 nationwide study, and a more recent study reveals that it's much, much worse than that in New Mexico. In this specific victim population there's the added element of entirely justifiable fear of going up against extraordinarily wealthy perpetrators who have the means and the motivation to permanently silence victims and/or witnesses and their loved ones and associates. There will always be exponentially more victims of Epstein et al than will ever be known or heard. [https://nmcsap.org/wp-content/uploads/NMCrimeVictimizationReport102224.pdf](https://nmcsap.org/wp-content/uploads/NMCrimeVictimizationReport102224.pdf) **New Mexico Crime Victimization Report - September 2024** R*** - Slightly more than a quarter (25%) of respondents who were raped reported seeking some kind of professional help, including help from a victim service organization, as a result of the r***. Sexual Assault - Thirty-one percent (31%) of respondents who were sexually assaulted reported seeking some kind of professional help, including help from a victim service organization, as a result of the assault. Lifetime R*** & Sexual Assault Fifty-four percent (54%) of respondents reported having been either raped or sexually assaulted within their lifetime. Forty percent (40%) of respondents who reported having been raped or sexually assaulted within their lifetime indicated that the first incident of r*** or sexual assault occurred when they were 12 years of age or younger.

If that statistic is true, you also have to wonder how many never will if they believe that their assaulter is in a position of power.

Really wish they could get about a thousand survivors to join up and go fully public in a group. The small group carries a very big load and is easier to dismiss.

The small group of Select Few victims actively ignores and "leaves out" victims who contact them. PLEASE notice that they are all "In the Industry" and/or represent the *most ideal* victim possible. They have the same lawyers (who reject the majority of real victims because they can't get victim's fund $$$) and are connected to TED talks, the United freaking Nations and media outlets through hedge fund buddies. It's total time wasting distraction bullshit. Also PLEASE notice that Virginia Giuffree was attached to Epstein's Hipp for YEARS and was a procurer and predator herself to possibly hundreds of girls. Imagine seeing your predator as the *ideal victim* on television. My theory is just seeing Virgininia convinced MANY victims they *cannot* come forward. Also ZERO men have come forward and that is an absolute joke. The "D*** Pic Collateral" collection is absolutely owning rn!

Watch how fast the news cycle changes the moment a list of names actually threatens anyone with real power. We've been 'probing' for years, yet the client list remains the best-kept secret in history

This is the first I've heard of bodies of two girls being buried in the hills near the ranch.

Prediction: It isn't the island that everybody is worried about, it's the ranch. Where are the visitor logs?
