Petition update: while searching the keyword “dang” in the Epstein files on the U.S. Department of Justice website, I found a document that I captured. It reinforced why this petition and movement need more support. What we experienced at John Volken Academy aligns, even by the FBI’s own terminology, with “forced labor,” which is recognized as a form of human trafficking. Many people associate trafficking only with sexual exploitation, but it also includes coercive labor and environments where participants are promised help (such as recovery or healing) yet are ultimately used for other purposes. In some cases, such structures can raise concerns about financial exploitation or being used as fronts for unrelated activities.
