“The American people trust the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice to protect them. That trust is all the more critical — and justified — when the FBI and the Department o Justice receive tips that women and children are being sexually abused, trafficked or are the subjects of child pornography.” —Jane Does v. the United States of America
For decades, Epstein raped and trafficked young women and children. As early as 1996, victim Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, told the FBI that Epstein was abusing children and had child pornography. FBI reports made public earlier this year show that Ms. Farmer filed complaints against him and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell — and that the FBI not only failed to investigate, but for years, failed to acknowledge or act upon Ms. Farmer’s complaint.
Now, we learn that another woman, a former Playboy Playmate, Audra Christensen, also alleges she was raped by Epstein and other men associated with him.
It was reported, according to a federal lawsuit, by none other than Hugh Hefner, the late founder and editor of Playboy magazine.
