Investigators did not obtain enough evidence to indict anyone other than the financier and his wife, Ghislaine Maxwell
O FBIUnited States federal investigative agency concluded that billionaire Jeffrey Epstein was not leading a child sex trafficking scheme, according to the American agency Associated Press.
Although investigators have ample evidence that the financier sexually abused minors, they found no substantial evidence that Epstein led a sex trafficking scheme for minors for powerful people, despite his constant contacts with people like, e .
The investigation argued that although “five or four” of Epstein’s victims reported having sex with others, “there was not enough evidence to charge them federally and the cases were referred to local authorities.”
One person made public accusations that she was “lent out” by Epstein to his wealthy friends, but this has not been confirmed and no other victim has reported anything similar.
Investigations against Epstein began in 2005, when a 14-year-old girl claimed she had been molested by the millionaire in Florida. At least 35 similar stories were identified by police.
The financier made a deal that freed him from a federal investigation. In 2018, however, the case resurfaced and he went. He was arrested in 2019.
