L’affaire a été portée à l’attention du public en 2005, lorsque Epstein a été condamné pour avoir sollicité des actes sexuels avec un mineur, et des documents ont révélé son implication avec des personnalités politiques et artistiques américaines et internationales dans un réseau de prostitution et d’exploitation de mineurs.

Jeffrey Epstein
Le millionnaire et homme d’affaires américain Jeffrey Epstein est né à New York en 1953, et a travaillé dans divers domaines tels que l’enseignement et l’investissement bancaire. Il était connu pour ses liens étroits avec de nombreuses célébrités et politiciens.
Il était l’une des figures influentes ayant un vaste réseau de relations avec l’élite de la société américaine, et était également connu pour sa proximité avec l’ancien président Donald Trump, qui a décrit Epstein comme un “homme formidable”.
À partir de sa maison qu’il a achetée en 1990 à Palm Beach en Floride, la police locale a commencé à enquêter sur Epstein après avoir reçu des plaintes de ses voisins qui ont observé un afflux constant de jeunes filles dans sa maison.
La police a immédiatement remarqué son influence et la peur qui a empêché de nombreuses filles de témoigner, ils ont travaillé secrètement pendant des années pour sélectionner le bon moment pour perquisitionner sa maison et l’arrêter. Les enquêteurs ont senti qu’ils étaient surveillés en permanence et ont découvert que même leurs ordures étaient fouillées, ce qui a contraint l’équipe d’enquête à changer sa stratégie et sa manière de conserver les preuves pour le coincer.
Les autorités américaines ont arrêté Epstein en 2005 pour exploitation sexuelle d’une fille de moins de 14 ans, et pour avoir eu recours à des services illégaux pour des dizaines de mineurs dans sa maison en Floride.
Malgré les témoignages de plusieurs jeunes filles sur les agressions sexuelles commises par Epstein et ses amis, seule une agression en 2008 a été confirmée, il n’a été accusé que de “sollicitation à la prostitution” et condamné à 13 mois, après avoir conclu un accord avec le procureur général qui a évité de nouvelles enquêtes.

Under the agreement, Epstein admitted to arranging meetings for his clients with underage girls for the purpose of having sex, and he enjoyed favorable conditions in jail during his detention, to the extent that he allowed him to go to his home in Palm Beach for several hours a day.
Alexander Acosta, who agreed to the deal as the prosecutor in Florida at the time, resigned from his position as Labor Secretary in the Trump administration after new allegations surfaced against Epstein and was criticized for his leniency at a time when Epstein could have been arrested and his criminal activities stopped then.
The Epstein case re-emerged after an article published by the American newspaper Miami Herald pointed to Epstein’s victims and those involved in reducing the sentence against him, such as Acosta, federal prosecutors resumed monitoring him and investigating the case, discovering that he was running a prostitution network, and he was arrested at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on July 6, 2019.
Two days later, he was charged with sexually exploiting minors, and conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking of minors, charges that carry a prison sentence of up to 45 years. The prosecution documents state that he was trafficking minors, subjecting them to sexual slavery, and offering them to wealthy individuals from around the world.
After hearing his statements, a court in Manhattan “ordered him detained without bail,” and on August 10, 2019, Epstein was found dead in his cell after sustaining a neck injury, and due to the expansion of the prostitution network and its reach to prominent figures, some believed he was killed to cover up for those involved with him, but the police later announced that he had committed suicide.
Ghislaine Maxwell, accused of being Epstein’s partner in the minor prostitution network (social media)
Ghislaine Maxwell.. The Partner in the Case
Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of British media Jewish Robert Maxwell and founder of Bergamon Publishing House, holds British, American, and French nationalities, and is considered a celebrity in American society. She was linked to the case as Epstein’s friend, she was accused of being his partner in the prostitution network after Virginia Giuffre (the victim and the main plaintiff against Epstein) filed a defamation lawsuit against her.
Maxwell got involved in the case by engaging in several activities that helped expand the prostitution network, recruiting girls for sexual slavery, and giving money to girls who introduced others to “massage services” who later discovered that it was for another purpose. She also offered money to the friends of the victim Virginia Giuffre to refute her statements and deny her and other victims to exonerate those involved.
Maxwell was arrested in July 2021 and sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined $750,000 in 2022, and was convicted of 5 charges, including securing minor girls for prostitution for Epstein and his friends.
Jolie Braune, author of the book “The Diversion of Justice: The Story of Jeffrey Epstein,” says that the relationship between Epstein and the Maxwell family began in the 1980s when Maxwell’s father was on the verge of bankruptcy, Epstein helped him hide his money in offshore bank accounts, and thus he met the British Jewish family, and thus met their ninth daughter “Ghislaine”.

The Victim Virginia Giuffre
Among the many victims, and despite many rejections, one girl dared to file a lawsuit against Epstein and his partner Maxwell in 2015, accusing them of assaulting her and sexually exploiting her from the age of 17 and arranging sexual encounters with “kings, politicians, academics, prominent businessmen, and others from the rich” – all of whom denied their involvement. Including the British Prince Andrew and the Law professor at Harvard University Alan Dershowitz (Israel defender in the International Court of Justice against genocide charges in Gaza).
Giuffre says that Maxwell arranged for girls – including Virginia – to provide “massage services” in a spa for $200, and escorted them to Epstein’s house, but along with other girls, she did not expect that the massage services would turn into sexual exploitation. The Federal Bureau of Investigation was accused of covering up these practices.
Virginia was not the only one to file a lawsuit against Epstein and his partner, but many other girls followed suit under various aliases, eventually leading to Maxwell’s conviction in 2022 of trafficking girls for sex.
In addition to Virginia Giuffre, Joanna Sjoberg provided a lot of evidence of the involvement of several prominent figures with Epstein and accused Prince Andrew of assaulting her three times in 2001 at Epstein’s home in London, New York, and on the island of “Little Saint James.” The Prince was stripped of his titles after this case, which he settled with the victim for $13 million, as he settled the case brought against him by Virginia Giuffre in 2022, accusing him of mistreating her as a adolescent, but he denied meeting the girl even though a picture documenting their meeting was circulated, denying any other accusations. And, on the other hand, the prince also settled the case brought against him by Virginia Giuffre in 2022, accusing him of mistreating her as an adolescent, but he denied meeting the girl, even though a picture documenting their meeting was circulated, denying any other accusations, and in return did not deny his relationship with Epstein, he said through his lawyer, “Prince Andrew regrets his association with Epstein, and praises the courage of Mrs. Virginia Giuffre and other survivors in defending themselves and others.”

Epstein’s Island.. One of the Places
Epstein’s Island is located in the Caribbean Sea among the US Virgin Islands off the coast of Saint Thomas, and its original name is “Little Saint James”, and for the American society, it is a breeding ground for locally circulated conspiracy theories, as they have given it several names like “Pedophile Island” (child prostitution) and “Orgy Island” and “Pleasure Island”.
It covers an area of 75 acres, with reserves and gardens, and during the First World War, the United States bought it from Denmark to prevent its use as a base for German submarines, and the development continued until it became a private property and a refuge for tax evaders.
The island has been owned by billionaire Epstein for 20 years, where he spent most of his time, attempting to build a good reputation in the “Virgin Islands” through his generous donations to government officials, educational institutions, and his shares in companies there, but he did not succeed, as his bad reputation was widely known locally.

The island was mentioned in the criminal lawsuit filed against him as being “the perfect hideout and sanctuary for sexual trafficking of minor girls, sexual slavery, and child abuse.”
The lawsuit also mentioned that Epstein and his companions sought to avoid detection of their activities in the Virgin Islands and hide from federal law enforcement authorities, preventing their young girls and minor girls from leaving freely and escaping abuse, which several girls who tried to escape while being transported to the island confirmed.
Epstein’s Island, which he couldn’t afford to search until his death in 2019, has eventually been sold for half its price in May 2023 to an investor to turn it into a luxury resort.
