Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein testified before Democratic House lawmakers on Tuesday at a congressional hearing held in Palm Beach, Florida, near the late financier's former waterfront mansion.

The hearing was organized by members of the Democratic House oversight caucus and took place close to the location where Epstein committed many of his crimes. Multiple survivors shared their experiences during the proceedings, which also included testimony from expert witnesses.

Among those testifying was a survivor identified as Roza, who told lawmakers that Epstein abused her while he was under house arrest. The testimony provided lawmakers with firsthand accounts of the abuse that occurred at Epstein's Palm Beach property.

Epstein's Palm Beach mansion served as a location where he procured girls as young as 14 to perform sexual services for wealthy guests. The property has been central to investigations and legal proceedings related to his sex trafficking operation.

The hearing represents part of ongoing congressional oversight efforts related to Epstein's crimes and their handling by federal authorities. Epstein died by suicide in federal custody in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
