The group, from World Without Exploitation, confronted Bondi during a February 11 House Judiciary Committee hearing over the Justice Department's handling of Epstein files released under the 2025 Transparency Act. All were adults at the time of their alleged encounters—Jess Michaels at 22 in 1991, Teresa Helm at 22 in 2002, and others aged 21-23—yet they've received settlements from Epstein's estate and banks like JPMorgan. Critics like journalist Michael Tracey note this distinction from confirmed underage victims, while supporters stress grooming and coercion can affect adults too, amid ongoing calls for full disclosure of over 3.5 million pages.
