UN Experts Warn About Jeffrey Epstein Case Documents
Independent United Nations experts have stated that newly released documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, accused of sexual abuse, indicate a transnational and systematic network that exploited women and girls, potentially amounting to crimes against humanity.
According to a Reuters report on Tuesday night, February 17, the experts called for a full, independent, and impartial investigation. They emphasized that the probe must determine how such crimes persisted for so long.
The documents identify more than 1,200 victims. The experts expressed concern over the incomplete disclosure of sensitive information about victims, warning that this could lead to re-traumatization and a sense of "institutional betrayal" among survivors.
The files also reveal Epstein's connections with prominent figures in politics, business, and academia both before and after his 2008 conviction.
Epstein died in prison in 2019, with his death ruled a suicide.
