The continued failure to prosecute those involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s child rape and sex-trafficking operation is no longer about evidence. It is about power protecting itself.
Files such as EFTA00078198 were created because federal investigators believed they were dealing with documented evidence of child sexual torture and organized abuse. These were not internet rumors. These were law-enforcement records. The image itself remains sealed for the protection of the victim, but its description was serious enough to be logged, preserved, and referenced as potential felony evidence.
And yet — no one visible or described in that material has been charged.
That is not justice. That is avoidance.
Epstein’s death did not end the crimes — it exposed the cover
Jeffrey Epstein’s death in federal custody did not magically erase the crimes of others. Conspiracy, trafficking, rape, and facilitation do not require the ringleader to be alive for prosecution. Prosecutors pursue co-conspirators every day without a living central figure.
What Epstein’s death did was remove pressure — and with it, urgency.
The non-prosecution agreement was a shield for predators
The 2008 Epstein non-prosecution agreement was later ruled unlawful because victims were deliberately excluded. But the damage was already done. That deal functioned as a legal forcefield, insulating unnamed accomplices from scrutiny for years.
No serious attempt has been made to unwind its effects.
No officials have been held accountable.
No systemic reckoning followed.
That silence was a choice.
Sealed evidence is being used as an excuse, not a safeguard
Child sexual abuse material is sealed to protect victims — not to protect perpetrators.
Courts prosecute these cases every year using sealed exhibits, closed proceedings, and protected testimony. If the government can describe conduct as violent sexual abuse in an official file, it can pursue charges without releasing images to the public.
To claim otherwise is a lie by omission.
And now, political deflection has replaced accountability
Critics argue that former President Donald Trump is actively attempting to push the Epstein issue aside, not by confronting it, but by allowing it to be drowned out.
They point to the recent confirmation hearing involving Pam Bondi, where discussion of the Epstein files was effectively sidelined. Instead of a serious examination of one of the largest child-trafficking scandals in modern U.S. history, the hearing veered into self-congratulatory economic talking points, including a bizarre reference to the Dow Jones being “over 50,000” — a claim that was irrelevant at best and inaccurate at worst.
For victims of sexual violence, the message was unmistakable:
Your suffering is less important than political theater.
Whether intentional or not, the result was the same — deflection, dilution, and delay.
This is what impunity looks like
Children were raped.
Women were trafficked.
Evidence was documented.
Names were known.
And yet, the system shrugs.
Every year without prosecutions reinforces the belief that wealth and proximity to power confer immunity, even for the most grotesque crimes imaginable.
That belief is corrosive — and dangerous.
What justice now requires
Anything less is complicity.
The Department of Justice must:
Convene a special prosecutor focused solely on Epstein-related crimes
Re-examine sealed evidence with a mandate to pursue living perpetrators
Publicly account for why no charges followed documented evidence
Hold past officials accountable for suppressing or abandoning cases
Stop treating child rape as a political inconvenience
This is not about vengeance.
It is about law.
And the law has been mocked for far too long.
If the Epstein files can be buried, any crime can be buried — so long as the right people are involved.
That is the real scandal.
And it is still unfolding.
