Epstein Victims Sue FBI Over Alleged Investigation Failures

The lawsuit claims the FBI's inaction allowed Epstein's sex trafficking operation to persist, victimizing young women and girls for decades.

A lawsuit filed by 12 alleged victims of Jeffrey Epstein accuses the FBI of failing to investigate his sex trafficking operation, allowing it to continue for decades.
The victims, referred to as Jane Does, seek unspecified damages and the unsealing of FBI documents related to Epstein.
The lawsuit alleges the FBI ignored credible reports of Epstein's crimes as early as 1996 and failed to follow up on tips and evidence.
Epstein, who died in jail in 2019, was allowed to continue his abuse even after being convicted and required to register as a sex offender.
The lawsuit highlights the FBI's alleged inaction despite being aware of Epstein's activities, contributing to the prolonged victimization of young women and girls.
