New Mexico U.S. Rep. Leger Fernández introduces Virginia Bill to eliminate statutes of limitation for victims of sexual abuse
Excerpt

Leger Fernández thanked them for allowing lawmakers to name the law after Giuffre, whose posthumous memoir “Nobody’s Girl” details her recruitment at the age of 16 by Epstein collaborator Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as the abuses that followed.

“It’s her courage that we are honoring today with Virginia’s Law,” Leger Fernández said. “Her courage unlocked the first set of gates that were protecting the rich and powerful. This bill will unlock the doors to the courthouse for the survivors. And to every Epstein co conspirator and sexual predator: We’re coming for you.”
