Rina Oh, an abuse survivor who suffered from sexual violence by Jeffrey Epstein, described in public statements how he psychologically controlled her through threats which resulted in her enduring permanent psychological damage.

Oh described her experience with Epstein as he began emotionally abusive behavior toward her which lasted until she reached 21 years of age.

“I experienced psychological harm because he devalued me through body criticism which included telling me I was too old to be attractive,” she said while explaining her background.

Oh said her vulnerability made her easier to manipulate. She disclosed her past experience with abuse which made it difficult for her to identify potential danger signals. Epstein established control over her because he used her emotional condition to his advantage according to her explanation.

A Turning Point And Fear Of Retaliation

The survivor described a pivotal moment during a trip to Florida when she realised the situation was far more serious than she had believed. Epstein shared with her what he called “dark secrets” which he later used to threaten her after she told someone about their conversation.

Oh expressed her feeling of entrapment because she wanted to leave but she felt too frightened to do so. Epstein used their Washington connections and he revealed personal information about her and her family which made her extremely scared to speak out against him.

She claimed that her surveillance situation made her believe she was being watched while she reported that attackers employed similar tactics against other young women.

Oh described her final encounter with Epstein as a violent incident. She ended their relationship after that meeting but she stayed silent about what happened because she felt scared and received psychological pressure.

Reaction To Prince Andrew Developments

Oh described the Prince Andrew Duke of York situation as a legal investigation which will lead to more people being held responsible for their actions against him.

She said it was significant that someone of his stature was being questioned in connection with the Epstein case, adding that it could encourage further transparency and action.

Although Andrew was released hours after his reported arrest, Oh said the development brought a sense of relief and could set a precedent for others named in connection with Epstein.

Message To Other Survivors

Addressing other survivors, Oh said they are not alone and urged them to remain strong despite fears or pressure. She called for full transparency and accountability for everyone involved.

“We are going to get the truth,” she said, expressing hope that those connected to what she described as an organised criminal network would eventually be held responsible.

Her testimony adds to the growing body of survivor accounts that continue to shape public scrutiny of the Epstein case and related investigations.
