The United States Department of Justice has renewed its call on victims linked to the sex trafficking network of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein to come forward, pledging to pursue accountability and sanctions against all those involved in the abuse and exploitation.
In a statement shared on Sunday, U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi said the department remained resolute in bringing charges against anyone connected to the trafficking and exploitation of Epstein’s victims.
“We reaffirm this commitment and ask any victim to please come forward with any information pertaining to individuals who engaged in illicit activity at their expense,” Bondi said.
She noted that the Justice Department has already held extensive engagements with survivors and advocacy groups and remains open to further outreach. According to her, law enforcement agencies are prepared to act swiftly on any credible information provided.
“Please contact myself, Deputy Attorney General Blanche, or the FBI and we will investigate immediately. We believe in the equal standard of justice in this country and will ensure that justice is served,” she added.
Epstein, an American financier and convicted sex offender, was accused of serial sex trafficking involving women and underage girls. He died in a New York prison cell on August 10, 2019, while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
The renewed appeal comes amid heightened scrutiny of Epstein-related investigations in the United States. In November 2025, the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives moved to force the release of long-sought investigative files connected to Epstein, intensifying pressure on the Justice Department.
Lawmakers gathered enough signatures to trigger a vote compelling the release of the documents, with the effort receiving bipartisan support. The move gained momentum after President Donald Trump reversed his earlier opposition, publicly urging House Republicans to vote for the release of the files.
The Justice Department has since begun releasing thousands of documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The first batch was made public on December 19, 2025, though controversy followed after reports that at least 16 files, including one referencing Trump, disappeared less than a day later.
The Justice Department said investigations into Epstein’s network remain ongoing, reiterating its commitment to ensuring accountability and justice for victims.
