Epstein survivor Dani Bensky says Blanche has never responded to them in opening statement

WATCH: Epstein survivor Dani Bensky says Blanche has never responded to them in opening statement.

Dani Bensky, a survivor of abuse by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, asked other survivors to rise in a Senate hearing Thursday while they held up photos of their younger selves. She implored senators on the Judiciary Committee to "think about the girls in these photos" when casting their confirmation votes.

"We may look like grown adults when you see us now, but we were children, young girls at the time of our abuse," Bensky said. "These are the photos of when our innocence, dreams and lives were stolen."

"Todd Blanche has never attempted to listen to us," she said. "The crime victims, survivors in this room repeatedly asked to meet with Todd Blanche through multiple channels. He never responded."

Bensky said the Justice Department failed to redact her name, phone number and former addresses in the files it released. "When my name appeared in the third file release, it became difficult to believe that this was not intentional," she said.

Several senators called on Blanche to commit to meeting with survivors during his Wednesday hearing. Blanche said his department had spoken with more than 30 representatives of dozens of victims and asked survivors and their lawyers to meet with the FBI. On whether Epstein trafficked women to other men, Blanche said "that does not mean it didn't happen, and I want to be clear about that."

"We are not activists," Bensky said. "We are crime victims."
