The FBI’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking case has left victims and advocates stunned after newly released files revealed how little investigators pursued allegations against powerful men accused of abusing minors. Despite multiple victims naming Wall Street executives, a former senator, a wealthy psychiatrist, and a film producer as abusers, the FBI’s response appears to have been minimal, or at least, poorly documented.
According to CNN, the files, released after Congress forced the Department of Justice to make them public, include harrowing accounts from victims who say Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell facilitated sexual encounters with other men. One 15-year-old victim described being taken to Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion.
