Between 1996 and 2005, the FBI continued to receive reports of sexual abuse, trafficking and human rights violations, yet failed to act, the women say. In 2002, Epstein was given secret service clearance for travel to Africa, where he travelled with former President Bill Clinton — according to testimony by former Epstein pilot Larry Visoski — and several “very young women.”
During that time, Epstein repeatedly initiated passports and visas for his victims for such international travel but skirted the required background checks, a red flag the FBI failed to investigate, the women said.
I think “very young women” are actually called “girls.”
It’s the kind of language all those former pilots, chefs etc of Epstein use. “(Very) young women”, well that could mean anything from 18-20 years old legal adults to 12 years old children.
Bill Clinton was President from 1993 to 2001. Clinton’s presidency fits the beginning of the timeline of when the abuse happened.
Why isn’t the United States Secret Service and the Justice Department being sued along with the FBI?
I’m going to continually assume Trump gave the order to kill Epstein but it makes me wonder how many in the government Epstein’s death benefited.
Bill Clinton you say
It’s a pretty small world out there
I wonder how many people actually believe that he committed suicide.

And here we are.
Those poor girls.
Am I wrong to think the FBI probably has somebody claim there’ll be another 9/11 like twice a day? Skirting background checks though should be an obvious thing to check out.
It’s absolutely heartbreaking to hear how these women were let down by the very institutions meant to protect them. The FBI’s failure to act on these serious allegations is a glaring issue that needs accountability. Kudos to these survivors for their courage in seeking justice. This isn’t just about looking back; it’s about ensuring future victims are better protected. Fingers crossed this lawsuit brings about some much-needed change.
It’s truly disheartening to hear how long these warnings went unheeded. The allegations highlight a severe lack of accountability and oversight that should concern us all. It’s essential that institutions we rely on for safety are held to higher standards, especially when vulnerable individuals are at risk. The courage of these victims in stepping forward cannot be overstated, and their actions could lead to vital changes in how reports like these are handled in the future. Accountability and transparency in law enforcement are crucial for preventing such egregious oversights and ensuring justice is served.
