一句话看懂
Hugh Hefner reportedly warned the FBI in 2005 about Epstein abusing a Playmate, but no action.
The FBI's delayed response raises questions about handling of abuse tips and survivor trust.
背景

Christiansen had asked Hefner to call the FBI because of his prominence. The FBI allegedly did not investigate the claims for about 15 years, only contacting Christiansen in October 2020.
