The mother of three was among the first victims to speak publicly about Epstein's abuse network, fighting legal battles against the powerful men she accused of exploiting her while enduring the psychological toll of her traumatic past. Her final message to authorities in a "Dateline" interview remains heartbreakingly poignant: "Take us serious. We matter." (pic)
