A lawsuit has been filed by multiple survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, against the U.S. government and the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI), alleging that officials in both governments enabled and facilitated Epstein’s sex-trafficking activities.
The suit against the U.S. government, filed in New York, claims that the FBI failed to adequately investigate credible tips about Epstein’s activities from 1996 to 2006, allowing him to continue abusing young women and girls. The plaintiffs assert that the FBI's negligence permitted Epstein to operate his sex trafficking ring with impunity, failing to protect victims and prevent further exploitation.
Additionally, the lawsuit against the USVI government alleges a wide-ranging conspiracy involving high-ranking officials who are accused of actively aiding Epstein. The plaintiffs claim that from 2001 to 2019, USVI officials provided Epstein with a secure base to run his sex-trafficking operation by offering him special treatment through laws, infrastructure, and governmental support. Named in the suit are former First Lady Cecile de Jongh, former Governor John de Jongh, former Governor Kenneth Mapp, former Senator Celestino White, former Attorney General Vincent Frazer, and others. The complaint includes detailed allegations of financial and political favors exchanged between Epstein and these officials, which allegedly facilitated his criminal activities and obstructed justice.
The government of the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) is attempting to dismiss the lawsuit filed by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein by shifting the blame to the survivors and emphasizing the significant settlement they already received from Epstein’s estate. The USVI's defense focuses on two main arguments:

The USVI's defense focuses on two main arguments:
- Previous Settlement and Compensation: The USVI argues that the survivors have already been compensated through a settlement with Epstein’s estate, which totaled more than $100 million. They contend that this previous compensation should mitigate or eliminate further claims against the government.
- Legal Defenses and Sovereign Immunity: The USVI also asserts that the lawsuit should be dismissed based on sovereign immunity and other legal defenses. They argue that the claims against them are barred by statutes of limitations and that the plaintiffs have not established a valid legal basis for holding the government liable for Epstein’s actions.
