Journalist & Sex Trafficking Expert Explains The Epstein Scandal

Heroes Behind Headlines Season 4 Episode 32

Investigative journalist and author Nick Bryant broke the story of high-level sex trafficking networks operating in the U.S. with his groundbreaking book "The Franklin Scandal" about a pederast ring based in Nebraska. Nick was one of the first journalists to break the Epstein story, and he lays out the common attributes of the notorious Franklin network and Epstein's more recent operations, and how both sought to minimize public awareness of underage victims.

 He highlights key facts about Jeffrey Epstein: Why Epstein is likely only one purveyor among others; what's involved in bringing justice to his victims; and why the truth is coming out in what seems like an achingly slow fashion.
