    I made a longer comment regarding possible issues with his report from a psychologist perspective. I have a masters in cognitive neuroscience and am finishing up my PhD. If you read it and have any thoughts, please reply to it.

    I read your comment about how this person is intended to make further victim claims distrusted by the public. And I also did consider this too.

    However I think this individual has some mental health problems. And I discuss why this is an issue with adult victims credibility as they often also have false memories that are proven false.

    I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he believes what he said and wants people to be held accountable. But it’s possible it’s all a farse with the intent to keep other victims from being taken seriously.

    People don’t realize that there are a lot of mentally unstable people out there who have psychosis and can believe a lot of strange things. It’s honestly not surprising that someone might believe they were trafficked by Epstein even though they lived in a different part of the country and time frames are questionable.
