Survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have turned to one of America’s most-watched events to renew their call for accountability. On Super Bowl Sunday, a group of women who say they were exploited by Epstein released a powerful public service advertisement demanding full transparency in what they describe as the world’s largest sex trafficking scandal.

The video was released by advocacy group World Without Exploitation and features Epstein’s survivors speaking directly to viewers. The women urge Americans to stand with them and push the US Justice Department to release all remaining files connected to the case under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

‘This girl deserves the truth’

In the advertisement, the survivors address the camera one by one, describing years of silence and separation. Their individual messages eventually merge into a collective declaration: “After years of being kept apart, we’re standing together, because this girl deserves the truth.”

Photographs of the women as teenagers appear on screen, showing them at the ages when they say they were first exploited by Epstein. The survivors call for public disclosure not only of Epstein’s actions but also of information related to other individuals they allege were involved in or enabled his crimes.

The ad closes with a stark message displayed across the screen: “Stand With Us. Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi: IT’S TIME FOR THE TRUTH.”

Why the Super Bowl matters

The decision to air the message on Super Bowl Sunday is deliberate. The championship game of the National Football League draws tens of millions of viewers and dominates US television every year. World Without Exploitation described the PSA as “the Super Bowl ad every American should see” and released a longer version of the video online to extend its reach beyond the broadcast.

Democratic Representative Robert Garcia amplified the message on social media ahead of its airing. “This Super Bowl Sunday, Epstein’s survivors want you watch this. It’s the most important ad of the day. You don’t ‘move on’ from the largest sex trafficking ring in the world. You expose it,” Garcia wrote.

DOJ releases millions of pages, but survivors say it is not enough

The renewed campaign comes days after the US Department of Justice released a massive set of records related to Epstein on January 30. Acting under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump, the department disclosed roughly three million pages of documents, along with 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.

According to the Justice Department, the released material represents only about half of the roughly six million documents reviewed. Officials say the remaining files contain child sexual abuse material, victim-identifying information, and records protected by law from public disclosure.

Survivors and advocates argue that despite the scale of the release, key information remains withheld.

Congress to review unredacted files

The timing of the Super Bowl advertisement is also significant because it airs just one day before members of Congress are scheduled to examine unredacted Epstein files for the first time. Survivors hope the public attention generated by the ad will increase pressure on lawmakers and the Justice Department to accelerate further disclosures.

Epstein’s long criminal history

Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal history stretches back nearly two decades. The case first came to light in 2005 after the parents of a 14-year-old girl told police she had been molested at Epstein’s Palm Beach, Florida mansion. Investigators later identified at least 35 girls who said Epstein paid them between $200 and $300 for sexualised massages.

Despite extensive evidence, Epstein served a brief jail sentence in 2008 and 2009 after pleading guilty to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl. He was arrested again in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges but died in a New York jail cell a month later in what authorities ruled a suicide.

His longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in 2022 for helping recruit underage girls and is serving a 20-year prison sentence.

Allegations and unanswered questions

An Associated Press review of internal Justice Department records found that investigators collected substantial evidence of Epstein’s abuse of underage girls but uncovered limited proof that he ran a trafficking ring for powerful men. Newly released documents contain allegations involving several high-profile figures, all of whom have denied wrongdoing.

For Epstein’s survivors, the Super Bowl ad is not about spectacle. It is a final push to ensure their stories are heard and that the truth they seek is not buried behind sealed files and redactions.
