A survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking ring reported that her recruiters laughed as she was sexually assaulted, according to Sky News. The woman, who was trafficked from Cape Town to Epstein's private island and ranch, described the psychological bondage that kept victims ensnared for years, as reported on February 15, 2026.
The Justice Department's release of documents related to Epstein has also revealed connections to Silicon Valley, as reported by TechCrunch. These documents show that businessman David Stern built a relationship with Epstein and pitched him investments in electric vehicle startups, including Faraday Future, Lucid Motors, and Canoo.
Meanwhile, the release of Epstein's emails has sparked curiosity due to the presence of garbled symbols, such as equals signs, as noted by The Verge. Experts suggest this is likely a technical error, rather than a secret code.
In other news, the World Health Organization (WHO) condemned a US-funded vaccine trial as unethical, according to Ars Technica. The trial, conducted in Guinea-Bissau, Africa, would withhold a safe hepatitis B vaccine from some newborns. The WHO stated that the trial is inconsistent with ethical and scientific principles.
The Epstein case continues to unfold, with new details emerging about the extent of his network and the experiences of his victims. The survivor's account, as reported by Sky News, highlights the psychological manipulation used by Epstein's recruiters. "Invisible chains is a good way to put it, it was like I was handcuffed invisibly," she said.
The TechCrunch report indicates that the Epstein files could have implications for the tech industry. The investigation into Epstein's financial dealings may lead to further scrutiny of his associates and their investments.
The WHO's condemnation of the vaccine trial, as reported by Ars Technica, adds to the ongoing debate about ethical considerations in medical research. The WHO's statement, released on Friday, cited several reasons why the trial was deemed harmful and of low quality.
