Epstein victims named other men. Files reveal little follow-up

[0:01] They're the faceless figures in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring, [0:05] women and girls whose stories fill the Department of Justice files, [0:09] some explaining they were raped, others lent out to Epstein's friends, [0:14] and another given sexual instructions for other men and trafficked. [0:19] Epstein went to jail for sex trafficking. So did accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. [0:24] But the Trump administration says evidence doesn't show other men participated in the abuse. [0:29] From the FBI. There is no credible information. None. If there were, [0:34] I would bring the case yesterday that he trafficked to other individuals. [0:38] To the DOJ. Anybody with evidence, come to the FBI and tell us. [0:43] Victims did tell the FBI, but the files show little sign of any follow-up by investigators. [0:50] A CNN review of the DOJ's own publicly released Epstein files finds more than a dozen times where [0:56] victims told the FBI that Epstein facilitated sexual encounters with his rich and powerful network. [1:02] In the pages of redacted reports, there's Wall Street executives, a wealthy psychiatrist, [1:07] a now jailed film producer, a former prince. But here's what we can't find in the public files. [1:14] Much evidence of further investigation after those women spoke to the FBI. [1:19] What does justice at the end of the day look like for you? [1:24] Before we can even get to, you know, to prosecution, we need investigation, right? [1:30] And so, unfortunately, what we're seeing right now is that there's been so little investigation. [1:34] Annie Farmer is an Epstein survivor. [1:36] She says she was sexually abused by Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell when she was just 16. [1:42] She's joined House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Robert Garcia in a public push for more accountability. [1:50] This is about some of the most powerful, wealthiest people believing that they can just get away with anything. [1:57] And they empowered Jeffrey Epstein to be that person. [2:00] The files reveal how Epstein built a trafficking ring. [2:04] The victims were teenagers or young women who needed money and influence to start their lives. [2:09] Epstein paid for gifts and exotic trips to his Caribbean island for parties. [2:14] Victims told the FBI at first he seemed harmless. [2:17] One victim told the Palm Beach Police Department two decades ago how Epstein would groom his victims. [2:22] The girl that meets Jeffrey starts off by giving him a massage. [2:25] The more you deal with him, the more you make. [2:29] In this 2021 report, a victim told the FBI she believed they trafficked me. [2:34] She says Epstein sent her to Dr. Henry Jarecki, a renowned psychiatrist who could help her with college. [2:40] This is Jarecki pictured here with Epstein in the files. [2:42] Because she really wanted to attend college, she says she gave Jarecki oral sex. [2:47] There's no sign of an FBI investigation with Jarecki. [2:50] He says he's never abused anyone. [2:53] A wealthy banker named in an FBI report is Jess Staley. [2:57] I have had a longstanding professional or had a longstanding professional relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. [3:03] A woman told the FBI that she met Staley at Epstein's New York mansion. [3:07] The woman says Epstein was paying for her to attend massage school and told her to give Staley a massage. [3:12] Photos show Epstein owned an elaborate massage room. [3:16] The massage ended in rough sex. [3:18] She told Staley she did not want this. [3:21] Federal investigators spoke to local cops about accusations against Staley, [3:24] but the files don't show much follow-up. [3:27] Staley said in court he did have sex with one of Epstein's assistants, but it was consensual. [3:32] I love doing business. My whole life I've enjoyed doing business. [3:36] Leon Black is a Wall Street Titan. [3:38] A woman said Epstein told her to massage Black, who started becoming sexual. [3:43] She then ran out of the room. [3:45] Another woman said Black raped her. [3:47] Files show the DOJ spoke about Black with the Manhattan DA's office, [3:51] which began looking into him, but he has not been charged for anything. [3:56] An attorney for Black said he has never abused, assaulted, or raped any girl or woman, [4:01] and the idea of doing so is repulsive and reprehensible to him. [4:05] It's just an absolute travesty the way that the entire thing has played out. [4:09] Attorney Spencer Kuvin has represented multiple Epstein victims. [4:12] One of his clients says Epstein and Maxwell loaned her to a corporate executive in Palm Beach, Florida. [4:18] Galen approached her one day and said to her, [4:21] look, I need you to go give somebody a massage. [4:24] And she asked who, and they told her where she needed to go, and it was a home on the island. [4:30] And she was essentially told, you know, go give this particular man a massage the way that you give Jeffrey a massage. [4:36] Girls were not people to him. They were objects to be traded. [4:40] So he would utilize both underage victims, but he would also utilize other women who were over the age of 18 [4:47] to satisfy men that he wanted to curry favor with. [4:51] You're almost talking about an economic ecosystem based on the abuse of women. [4:56] It was. [4:57] Victims say Epstein's favors involved famous people, like film producer Harvey Weinstein. [5:02] One victim says when she was 15, Epstein told her, I have a friend staying over. [5:06] She says the man abused her. [5:08] An attorney showed her a photo of Weinstein, and the woman identified him. [5:12] Weinstein is in prison, but not for any Epstein-related crime. [5:17] Through a spokesperson, Weinstein unequivocally denies the [5:20] allegation and has no recollection of any such interaction. [5:23] The files also named Prince Andrew in allegations from Virginia Giuffre. [5:28] She told the FBI the then prince had sex with her when she was 17 years old. [5:33] I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady. None whatsoever. [5:38] It's in the UK, not the US, where authorities moved. [5:41] Arresting Andrew on allegations he shared sensitive information with Epstein. [5:46] Andrew denies all allegations against him. [5:48] When I started to read some of these files, I was, even for a seasoned investigator, I had to pause. [5:57] Moses Castillo is a former LAPD sex crimes detective. [6:01] He says he'd expect to see more basic investigation and follow-up in the files. [6:06] It's actually policing 101, police investigations 101, a sex crime detective 101. [6:11] You would do all those things. You develop a game plan, a strategy on how you're going to investigate this. [6:17] You check the flight. You check all the hotels. You check this victim said this and that. [6:23] Can you go out there and corroborate that? So it's time consuming, but it's not impossible. [6:28] Castillo says one possible hurdle is victim cooperation. In the files, a woman accused [6:34] President Trump of sexual assault. The FBI spoke with her four times, but says she ultimately refused [6:40] to cooperate. The White House calls that allegation against Trump baseless. [6:47] In an unusual turn in the Epstein saga, the first lady, responding to what she calls lies about herself, [6:54] is calling for Epstein's victims to have their voices heard in a public hearing. [6:58] Now is the time for Congress to act. Epstein was not alone. [7:04] A renewed investigation is exactly what survivors like Annie Farmer have long wanted. [7:10] We have people that are able to make these statements about, [7:13] oh, there's nothing more to see here. And we don't even know that that's true. [7:16] We believe it's not true, but until they can show evidence of investigation, [7:20] I think it would be very difficult to move on. When you hear people say that Epstein's dead, [7:26] Maxwell's in prison, it's over. What do you say to that? [7:29] It's not over. It's not over till the survivors feel that they have justice. [7:33] There are those that enabled the abuse that worked for Epstein. There were other powerful men [7:38] that are walking around in corporate war rooms and in government that need accountability.
