A review of internal documents from the United States Department of Justice indicates that the FBI has gathered robust evidence that Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused several underage girls, but designed to serve rich and influential men. The information appears in official records reviewed by the Associated Press (AP), including police reports, FBI interview notes and communications between prosecutors.
According to the records reviewed, federal agents extensively examined Epstein’s financial records, they analyzed emails and documents, conducted house searches, and interviewed victims and witnesses. The collected material consistently confirmed a pattern of sexual abuse involving teenage girls, in addition to a recruitment mechanism that included payments and promises of benefits.
