Another key PRE-EPSTEIN story. Katherine Bolkovac is a former police detective from Nebraska who became a human rights investigator after uncovering credible evidence of human trafficking and sexual exploitation committed by private security contractors working for the U.S. government in post-invasion Iraq.

She worked as an investigator for DynCorp International, a private U.S. military contractor, and documented cases in which women and girls were trafficked and sexually abused by people working under contract to the U.S. government. When she reported what she found, she faced resistance and was eventually fired. She successfully sued DynCorp for wrongful termination. Bolkovac’s work became the subject of the book “The Whistleblower” and later a major motion picture of the same name starring Rachel Weisz, which dramatizes her fight to expose the exploitation and seek justice.
