Files show accuser in 2011 provided extensive account of abuse as questions mount over why action was not taken

The Department of Justice’s release of millions of Jeffrey Epstein files has not only prompted questions about his crimes – but renewed attention on authorities’ failure to stop him after an accuser reported him in 1996.

This new cache of Epstein files has provided more insight into authorities’ familiarity with allegations against him in the years that followed, including time between his sweetheart plea deal in 2008 and federal arrest nearly six years ago.

While it’s known that accuser Virginia Giuffre’s attorneys met with federal prosecutors in 2016 about Epstein to no avail, recently disclosed files indicate that detailed information was provided to federal authorities years before that sit-down. This included allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor; documents indicate that he appeared on the FBI’s radar about 15 years ago.

It's also worth looking at the absolute misses at the state level, too.

What fucking idiot was AG of Florida in 2016 when Epstein was a the height of his influence, as a resident and owning property there?

The word "failure" implies that there was an attempt.

What type of question is that??? Don’t you know the Dow…the Dow is at RECORD levels! Why don’t you talk about Merrick Garland’s time as Florida AG???

/s (just in case)

I know you're asking rhetorically, but for anyone else who missed it—the answer is Pam Bondi. Pam Bondi was Florida's attorneys general from 2011-2019.

Well that’s quite a coincidence!

Okay, so how about doing something about the rest of the perpetrators right now?

Privilege used to be a real thing. It's still a real thing, but it used to be, too.

fr, and the bitter irony is that the media bias and gaslighting is a large part of the coverup. They just can’t help themselves it seems.

The Franklin scandal happened in 88 and they killed everyone but a single victim who refused to recant. She got 15 years for perjury.

Complicity? I think that's the word we're looking for.

They didn't fail to stop him. They worked FOR him. The system isn't broken, it just never was designed to work for us.

I propose we have a revolution to install a new system which does work for us, the working class.

The media is also owned and operated by the ruling class. Again, the media is not failing. It is working exactly as intended. We need to create our own justice.
