Why Southern California Matters​

Los Angeles is the capital of the entertainment industry — and Epstein maintained connections to Hollywood through his social circle. Multiple entertainers who spoke about elite pedophilia or trafficking died in the LA area. The region also saw the deaths of key financial whistleblowers connected to Epstein's banking relationships.
