US Justice Department Urges Victims Of Jeffrey Epstein Sex Trafficking Network To Come Forward, Vows Sanctions And Prosecution Of All Offenders

The United States Department of Justice has renewed its call for victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking network to come forward, pledging decisive action against anyone involved in the exploitation and abuse of women and girls. In a statement released on December 21, 2025, U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi affirmed that the department remains committed to filing charges against individuals linked to Epstein’s trafficking operation. Bondi urged survivors with credible information to contact the Department of Justice or the FBI, assuring them that law enforcement agencies are prepared to act swiftly. The announcement comes amid heightened public scrutiny following the release—and sudden disappearance—of several Epstein-related files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial. Despite thousands of documents now being released, lawmakers, survivors, and advocacy groups continue to demand full transparency and accountability for those who enabled or participated in Epstein’s crimes.
