      Virginia Roberts affidavit (2014)
      Giuffre filed court papers in Florida in January 2015, stating that Epstein trafficked her to Prince Andrew and Alan Dershowitz.[31] In a sworn affidavit, she claims Maxwell worked as Epstein's madam.[31] In April 2015, a federal judge ruled that Giuffre could not join the federal Crime Victims' Rights Act lawsuit, and her affidavit was stricken from the case.[31]
      Virginia Giuffre v. Ghislaine Maxwell (2015)
      As a result of Giuffre's allegations and Maxwell's comments about them, Giuffre sued Maxwell for defamation in federal court in New York in September 2015.[31] After much legal confrontation, the case was settled under seal in June 2017 with Maxwell reportedly paying Giuffre "millions".[31][68]
      Virginia Giuffre v. Alan Dershowitz (2019)
      In April 2019, Giuffre filed a federal civil defamation lawsuit against Alan Dershowitz in New York.[19][67]
      Giuffre was first represented by David Boies but Alan Dershowitz successfully had him removed from the case as he claimed that members of the law firm could be called to witness in the trial. She was subsequently represented by lawyer Charles Cooper. Boies filed a separate defamation lawsuit against Dershowitz for implying that Boies had pressured Giuffre into making false claims.[69]
      Second criminal case
      Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on July 6, 2019 at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey[70] and charged with sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy by prosecutors with the Public Corruption Unit of the Southern District of New York [71] In the indictment, Epstein was accused of soliciting massages from underage girls where the activities became increasingly sexual and then of enlisting the girls to recruit other underage victims for pay.[71] U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York appealed for other victims of Epstein to come forward.[71] The federal indictment also listed the key role of Epstein's paid "employees and associates" responsible for scheduling victims.[71]
      One month after his arrest, Epstein was found dead on August 10, 2019, after reportedly hanging himself in his Manhattan prison cell.[72][7]
      On August 29, 2019, in the wake of Epstein's death 19 days prior, the case against Epstein was closed after District Judge Richard Berman dismissed all sex trafficking charges.[73][74] Judge Berman expressed support for Epstein's accusers, stating that he invited them to speak publicly at a hearing on August 27, 2019, out of "respect" for "the difficult decisions victims made to come forward".[73] Giuffre was among the 16 women who spoke publicly at the hearing, which included Anouska De Georgiou, Sarah Ransome, Jennifer Araoz, Chauntae Davies, Courtney Wild, Theresa J. Helm, and Marijke Chartouni.[75] At the hearing, Giuffre stated "The reckoning must not end. It must continue. He did not act alone. We the victims know that." Prosecutors signaled that they would continue an investigation for potential co-conspirators.[74]

    I used to work for a water utility company and the dam operators showed me their emergency release valve which spewed 20kL a second as well. It was so much water that the little river it went into actually started flowing back as a wave towards the dam because it was more water than it can drain at any one time.

But, regardless of which storage power station, the fish are never "sucked in", they swim out of the flow very easily (the same applies to the power station on the river, healthy fish can "stand" in the flow and also swim upstream.
