Many of the persons mentioned in the document have never been accused of being connected to Epstein; In particular, Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew are also mentioned, both of whom have already been associated with the case.

Epstein itself died in his prison cell in 2019 before being brought to court. In 2008 he caused a sensation again when he accepted a controversial comparison in a case in which he had paid a minor student for sexual services.

social effects of the scandal

The Epstein case also raised awareness of sexual exploitation. In the United States, around 27,000 children are reported as missing annually, although it is estimated that every sixth of these missing children is likely to be the victim of sexual children's trade, such as SRF reported. Pimps often recruit through social media and address vulnerable adolescents. Teenagers who run away from home or experience no emotional support are particularly susceptible.

Reporting on the Epstein scandal has led to increased sensitization in both society and the law enforcement authorities. Survivors of sexual children's trade often face major challenges and experience several attacks a day, which leads to long -term trauma. It is crucial that the police recognize that such victims are often involved in recruitment of new victims to identify the real perpetrators.

The persistent processing of the case Epstein and the associated connections to prominent personalities show how deeply rooted sexual exploitation can be in different social classes. It remains to be seen how the further developments will be in this complex case and whether the complete files are made available.
