According to the Commission, Epstein maintained an elaborate, highly controlled compound in New Mexico where survivors reported sexual...

New Mexico’s legislative “truth commission” investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s activities in the state released its initial 119-page report, concluding that authorities had failed for years to adequately investigate what occurred at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch near Santa Fe.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s government sent mixed messages over whether it was considering a public inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein’s activities in Britain.

Prince Andrew’s legal team repeatedly tried to persuade U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan to dismiss Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s civil lawsuit before the allegations could be tested through discovery or at trial.

Leon Black has faced mounting scrutiny over his long and deeply intertwined relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, particularly after newly surfaced court filings revealed an aggressive behind-the-scenes legal effort tied to a woman accusing Black of rape connected to Epstein’s network.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s fall was especially dramatic because she spent decades presenting herself as a sophisticated, well-connected socialite who moved comfortably among royalty, billionaires, politicians and celebrities. The daughter of disgraced publishing magnate Robert Maxwell, she rebuilt her life in New York after his death and attached herself to Jeffrey Epstein, becoming one of the most recog...

The unfolding failure to fully release and comply with the law surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files has exposed a deeper institutional problem inside the Department of Justice and the Administration.

The long-term impact of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse on survivors has been profound, stretching far beyond the immediate trauma of exploitation. Many have spoken about enduring struggles with trust, intimacy, and mental health, with conditions such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety becoming lifelong challenges. The abuse often took place during formative years, leaving deep psychological scars that shap...

Tyler Robinson’s attorneys filed an objection to the prosecution’s proposed Exhibit 4.1, a close-range color video with audio showing the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Prosecutors intended to introduce the video during a February 3, 2026, hearing on Robinson’s motion to disqualify the Utah County Attorney’s Office. The defense argued that the footage had no relevance to the actual issue before the cou...

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez filed a federal lawsuit against the Justice Department and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, accusing them of obstructing the state’s renewed investigation into crimes allegedly committed at Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch. Torrez said his office had repeatedly requested complete, unredacted federal records that could identify additional victims, witnesses...

Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal enterprise did not survive for decades because he acted alone or possessed some supernatural ability to evade scrutiny. It survived because major financial institutions continued to provide the banking services, cash access, wire transfers, private banking relationships, and institutional legitimacy that allowed his operation to function. JPMorgan maintained Epstein as a...

Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse was not merely a private residence or a gathering place for the wealthy and well connected. Federal prosecutors said Epstein recruited and sexually abused numerous underage girls there, often under the pretense of paid massages, while civil lawsuits described more severe assaults occurring inside the property.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson are being portrayed as a scandal-bound royal duo whose relationship long outlived their marriage because it benefited both of them.

Newly released Justice Department files show Jeffrey Epstein received extraordinary white-glove treatment from Mount Sinai, turning one of New York’s most prestigious medical systems into yet another elite institution where his money, access, and relationships appeared to open doors that ordinary people would never get near.

Utah prosecutors argued in their bindover memorandum that the evidence presented during Tyler Robinson’s five-day preliminary hearing easily established probable cause for him to stand trial on all seven charges connected to the killing of Charlie Kirk.

Sens. Thom Tillis and John Cornyn faced sharp criticism for supporting Todd Blanche’s nomination after Epstein survivors urged them to oppose it.
