Preserving digital evidence
Keep original screenshots, messages, photos, videos, links, usernames, dates and times when it is safe to do so. Avoid altering the original file; annotate a copy instead.
Read ESFB evidence standards →Start small. Build carefully.
Evidence & resource
library.
A simple starting point for survivors, witnesses, researchers and journalists. ESFB will expand this library gradually, with sources, provenance and the status of important claims kept visible.
Immediate support & referrals
Verified starting points for trafficking and sexual-assault support, including confidential national services and emergency guidance.
Open survivor resources →How ESFB labels information
Public fact, primary document, firsthand testimony, corroborated allegation, unresolved allegation and research hypothesis are not interchangeable.
See the credibility standard →Source archive — developing
This section will eventually organize selected court records, government documents and other public primary sources. Items will be added only with enough context to explain what the record does—and does not—establish.
Status: In development.
Preparing a useful chronology
Record dates, locations, people involved and what you personally observed. Separately identify what another person told you, what a document shows and what you infer from it.
See preparation guidance →Corrections & responsible publication
ESFB's goal is accountability without turning unresolved accusations into established facts. Sources and context matter, and meaningful corrections should remain visible.
Read editorial standards →Important: Do not send original evidence, child sexual abuse material, Social Security numbers, passwords, private addresses, or other highly sensitive material through ESFB's general contact form. The public library is informational; it is not a secure evidence vault.
Coming later
A library that earns trust.
Possible future sections include searchable public records, source-specific timelines, survivor-contributed testimony with consent, document explainers, media resources and a transparent corrections log. We are deliberately starting small while the appropriate legal, privacy and security processes are considered.
