What happened to Epstein's major associates and enablers after his death?

Ghislaine Maxwell

Maxwell was convicted in December 2021 on five federal counts including sex trafficking of a minor. She is serving a 20-year sentence at FCI Tallahassee.

Jean-Luc Brunel

Maxwell’s alleged partner in international recruitment, Jean-Luc Brunel, was arrested in France in December 2020 and died by suicide in La Santé prison in February 2022 awaiting trial.

The Named Recruiters

Several women identified by victims as recruiters including Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, and Natalie Blaine were named in the NPA as co-conspirators but were not federally charged and received immunity protection.

Epstein Pilots

Pilots who flew the Lolita Express settled civil claims with victims but were not criminally charged.

The Broader Network

The dozens of men named in victim testimony and court documents as sexual abusers have not faced criminal charges. The gap between the alleged scope of the network and the number of persons charged represents a persistent accountability issue.
