Epstein Assault Survivors Sue FBI for Failing to Act on Accusations Against Deceased Serial Abuser

HeadlineFeb 16, 2024

Twelve survivors of sexual abuse and trafficking by Jeffrey Epstein are suing the FBI for failing to protect them. The 12 unnamed plaintiffs say the FBI ignored tips and complaints about Epstein and close associate Ghislaine Maxwell for over 20 years. Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal charges. Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20- year prison sentence after being convicted in 2022 of helping Epstein recruit and sexually assault teenage girls.
