"New York's law enforcement authorities also have plenty of leads that have been left unexplored in their own backyard. Nothing prevents New York state authorities from resuming where they left off five days after Epstein's arrest in July 2019, when FBI officials ordered them to stand down."
"Survivor testimony - contained in FBI interviews and civil lawsuits including victim Virginia Giuffre's complaint - establishes that Manhattan was a hub of abuse, with multiple men allegedly sexually assaulting girls and young women exploited within Epstein's operation."
"New York state law - including sexual assault charges against minors - carries no statute of limitations. Combined with newly released DOJ files, Epstein Estate emails, additional victims coming forward, and investigative journalists uncovering fresh leads, Bragg has substantial justification to pursue criminal investigations of potential co-conspirators."
New York state authorities can resume the Epstein investigation that was halted in July 2019 after FBI officials ordered them to stand down. Survivor testimony from FBI interviews and civil lawsuits establishes Manhattan as a hub of abuse where multiple men allegedly sexually assaulted girls within Epstein's operation. New York state law carries no statute of limitations for sexual assault charges against minors, providing a strong legal foundation. The Manhattan DA previously investigated financier Leon Black and Barclays CEO Jes Staley without pursuing charges. With newly released DOJ files, Epstein Estate emails, additional victims coming forward, and investigative journalists uncovering fresh leads, Bragg has substantial justification to pursue criminal investigations of potential co-conspirators.
