On Thursday, a woman named Maria Farmer filed a lawsuit against the federal government, which begins with a paragraph, both known and freezing: “For nearly a quarter of a century,” she has accused a farmer, Jeffrey Epstein has diverged a “wide -ranging company for sex trafficking”, in which she was one of the hundreds of victims. And the worse is that a farmer claims that a high-profile financier managed to do so because the FBI, the Ministry of Justice and the United States law firms “failed to listen or protect his sex traffic, sexually abused and sexually operated casualties.”
In fact, a farmer claims that she had first announced to the FBI that she had been sexually attacked by Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell in 1996 that she told the agent that Epstein had also committed “numerous sexual crimes” against other girls and young women, including one of her minors; This Epstein had stolen and transported through the state lines naked and partially naked photos of his two minor sisters; And this, with others, Epstein produced and distributed content that could be child pornography. (In 2022, Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison after jurors sentenced her to many sex trafficking charges; she was currently serving her sentence in Talahasi, Florida, a federal prison and recently asked the Supreme Court to overturn her sentence.
Nevertheless, a farmer claims, the FBI agent has been hooked on it and has never followed, leaving Epstein to “exponentially” multiply his abuse and trafficking for girls and young women in the coming decades. (The FBI refused NBC News’ request for a comment on the case, citing his standard practice not to comment on court disputes.)
In some respects, the work of farmers is not news. The fact that she and her sisters were victims of Epstein and is said to have been ignored by the federal authorities has been reported for years. Nor is she the first victim of Epstein to sue the federal government for his alleged failure to protect them from his manipulation, abuse and threats. Another similar suit now presents 28 plaintiffs who blame the FBI for “gross negligence and reckless indifference” to Epstein and sexual abuse and trafficking for them and his associates for two decades. These lawsuits also seem unlikely to succeed for several reasons, including, but not limited to, the pure delay of the plaintiffs when they are brought.
But the existence of farmers’ costumes and other people and the plaintiff’s collective ones require the FBI to correctly their mistakes, require our attention. This is especially true because what the victims seem to be the most of the FBI-clarity about their ongoing trauma and internal reform to ensure something like Epstein’s saga is never repeated-contrasting with the growing hunger of Maga and his suicide, which many in Trump-Uuord have harmless.
This pressure has escalated since February, when Prosecutor General Pam Bondi released several hundred pages of documents, most of which have already been announced publicly.
The edition in February prompted many – including Bondi herself – angrily accusing the FBI of concealing the corresponding records and/or continuing to speculate on which well -known or otherwise distinctive Americans are complicit in the Epstein sex ring. Republicans were not the only disappointed audience; Reporter Dan Goldman, a prominent Democrat from New York and a critic of Donald Trump, characterizes liberation as a “hand experience for gas of the American people” as he asks Trump, who knows and socializes with Epstein long before he enters the political life, “intervene to prevent the public release.
In early May, Bondi told reporters that the FBI “diligently” was going through “tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn”, including “hundreds of victims” whose identity will have to be protected at any release of such materials. Still, Bondi remains under control of other Trump allies who either doubt that she has such records, including the belief that the Ministry of Justice Ministry’s employees have destroyed them or because they are simply eager to learn whether Epstein has ties with the US government or “specific intelligence agencies”.
In the meantime, it is obvious to alleviate some of the anxiety associated with Epstein, the FBI Deputy Director himself, Dan Bongino, has promised to release a video for observation from the Federal Prison in Manhattan Kash Patel last week, where Epstein died, and the FBI Kash’s Director is now saying that Epte is now saying that He died.
But from the perspective of the victims, of course, how Epstein died, even less how he lived, is secondary, if not unnecessarily cheeky. From their own experiences, they know what he has done, to whom and with whom.
What the victims deserve – beyond the constant confidentiality to which Bondi has reasoned said they have a right – it is not an overview of the “all hands of deck”, a reduction and a possible release of painful videos or documents for Epstein’s work from agents who have been deviated from national security issues.
What they deserve is DOJ and FBI, wishing to review and reform their own procedures for processing sexual assault and traffic reports. After all, it has been more than two years since the Farmer’s lawyer wrote the letter of the FBI and DOJ on 15 pages, asking for a “comprehensive investigation to determine why there was and remains such an unsuccessful failure to investigate, reveal and pursue this unprecedented, decades of criminal conspiracy.”
This type of internal investigation and reform may not satiate those who still review Epstein’s little black book – but it will come close to true justice for his victims.
