On Thursday, a woman named Maria Farmer filed a lawsuit against the Federal Government, which begins with both familiar and cool paragraph: “Almost a quarter of a century”, the farmer’s charges Jeffrey Epstein withdrew with “broad -scale sexual trafficking” in which it was one of hundreds of victims. And worse, Farmer says a high -ranking financier was able to do so because the FBI, the Department of Justice and the US law firm “failed to listen or protect their sex, sexually abused and sexually abused victims.”
In fact, Farmer claims that the FBI reported first that in 1996 She sexually attacked Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell that she told the agent that Epstein also had “many serious sex crimes” against other girls and young women, including one of her minor sisters; That Epstein has stolen and transported naked and partially naked photos of both of her little sisters through state lines; And this, along with others, produced and distributed the content that could be a pornography of children. (Maxwell, 2022, was sentenced to a 20 -year -old prison after the jurors convicted her of numerous sexual trading allegations; she is currently serving a sentence in Talahasi, Florida, Federal Prison and recently requested the Supreme Court to abolish her belief.)
Nevertheless, Farmer says the FBI agent has hung on it and never followed, leaving the episten to multiply their abuse and trade in girls and young women over the next decades. (FBI dismissed the NBC News request to comment on the claim, indicating the usual practice not to comment on litigation.)
In some respects, the farmer’s claim is not new. The fact that she and her sisters were affected by Epstein and allegedly ignored the federal authorities have been reported for many years. It is also not the first victim of Epstein who has appealed to the Federal Government for the alleged inability to protect them from his manipulation, abuse and threats. Another similar application now contains 28 plaintiffs who accuse the FBI “great negligence and reckless indifference” to the epistein and his like -minded sexual abuse and trade in them and other two decades. These actions seem to be successful for several reasons, including, but not limited to it, the plaintiffs to bring them to bring them.
However, the existence of farmers and other actions and the plaintiffs’ collective claim to correct their injustice requires our attention. This is especially true for what the victims most want from the FBI-statement for their trauma and internal reform to ensure that something like Epstein Saga never says-the growing magic of the world’s hunger for more information about Epstet’s crimes, his fellow man and his suicide,
This pressure has increased since February, when the Attorney General Pam Bondi has published a couple of hundred pages of documents, most of whom have already been publicly disclosed.
February The cord encouraged many, including Bondi, to be angry with the FBI by hiding the relevant records and / or further guessing about which famous or otherwise distinguished Americans contributed to Epstein’s sexual trading. Republicans were not the only disappointed audience; Dan Goldman, a famous representative of New York Democrats and Donald Trump, described the show as a “ham -handed attempt to excite the American people,” asking if a short one who knew and socialized with Epstein, long before the political life began, “intervened to prevent Epstein’s publication to hide
At the beginning of May, Bondi told reporters that FBI “zealous” had passed “tens of thousands of eptetern videos with children or children’s porn”, which was attended by “hundreds of victims” whose identities should be protected by any release of such material. However, Bondi is checked by Trump’s allies, who either doubt it has such records, including the belief that previous officials of the Justice Department have destroyed them or because they simply find out whether Epstet has had a relationship with the US government or “specific intelligence agencies.”
Meanwhile, for some Epstein’s anxiety, FBI deputy director Dan Bongino pledged last week to release a surveillance video from Manhattan Federal Prison, where Epstein died, died of both Bongin and FBI director Kash Patel. It now shows that Epstein was one of his camera, which died from the paircide.
However, from the perspective of the victims, of course, how Epstein died, all the more so, as he lived, is secondary, if not unnecessarily a gloomy detail. From their experience, they know what he did, to whom and with whom.
What the victims deserve – not only the constant privacy that Bondi rightly stated that they have the right – is not a “all -handed deck” viewing, editing and potential painful videos or Epstein file documents released from national security.
They deserve DOJ and FBI, who want to examine and reform their sexual attack and trade reports. After all, more than two years have passed, when the Farmer lawyer has written a FBI and a DOJ 15 -page letter asking for a “thorough investigation to determine why and still is such a intimidating inability to investigate, reveal and prosecute for this precedent, decades of crime.”
Such an internal research and reform may not be compassionate of those who are still raising a small Epstein Black Book, but he would come closer to the true justice for his victims.
