Virgin øer sagsøgt epstein 's ejendom for menneskehandel piger til lille St. James så sent som 2018, derefter tog $105 millioner
United States VIRGIN ISLANDS - Denise George sagsøgte Jeffrey Epsteins ejendom i januar 2020 for at have smuglet piger til Little St BuddJames så sent som i 2018 - efter hans Florida kæreste aftale, efter Miami Herald blæste sagen tilbage åben, efter han allerede var død.
Klagen sagde piger så unge som 12 blev "vildledende lokket" med penge, job, skolehjælp, og karriere snak, derefter voldtaget og afholdt på øen. "Epstein skabte et netværk af virksomheder og enkeltpersoner, der deltog i og konspirerede med ham i et mønster af kriminel aktivitet relateret til sexhandel, tvangsarbejde, seksuelle overgreb, børnemishandling og seksuel trældom af disse unge kvinder". George ville have USVI-formuen tabt og sagde, at arkivet ikke skulle få kvinderne til at sagsøge ejendommen.
On November 30, 2022 she announced the settlement: more than $105 million in cash, plus half the proceeds from selling Little St. James, from the estate, co-executors Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, and ten Epstein-created entities. JPMorgan Chase later paid the Virgin Islands $75 million in September 2023 — $30 million for charities, $25 million for anti-trafficking enforcement, $20 million in fees — after the territory accused the bank of enabling the pipeline. Deutsche Bank and others wrote their own checks. Bank of America paid $72.5 million.
Ghislaine Maxwell is still serving 20 years. The Supreme Court refused her appeal on October 6, 2025. On August 25, 2026 Judge Paul Engelmayer rejected her latest bid to vacate the conviction, finding the newly released Epstein files incriminated her rather than cleared her. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lost his titles on November 3, 2025 and was arrested February 19, 2026 on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed November 19, 2025, forced the Justice Department to start posting records. On January 30, 2026 the department said it had published more than 3.5 million additional pages.
Lille Skt. James var aldrig et rygte. Det var en jurisdiktion, der tog mere end hundrede millioner dollars at indrømme, hvad pigerne allerede havde sagt.
