1. Establishing the Existence of a Sex Trafficking Ring
First, the foundation: There is undeniable evidence of a large-scale sex trafficking operation involving underage girls, orchestrated by Epstein and his associates. Epstein was convicted in 2008 of procuring a minor for prostitution and faced federal sex-trafficking charges in 2019 before his death. Court documents from lawsuits (e.g., by Virginia Giuffre) and the 2021 trial of Ghislaine Maxwell detail a network that recruited, groomed, and exploited dozens—if not hundreds—of teenage girls across Epstein’s properties in New York, Florida, New Mexico, Paris, and the U.S. Virgin Islands (Little St. James, aka “Epstein Island”).
