His cellmate: Epstein "feared his ass would be kicked in jail"
The Attorney General of the US Virgin Islands announced Wednesday that he has sued the estate of the late financial Jeffrey Epstein and six other entities, which he accuses of creating a network of human trafficking and sexual abuse of young women and children under age.
Prosecutor Denise N George alleged in a press conference that Epstein established a corporate "complex network" with properties in the Virgin Islands through which he "carried out and concealed criminal conduct" with girls as young as "13 years of age, " so its authorities seek" accountability. "
Epstein was found dead last August at age 66 in a New York prison , where he had been charged with allegedly creating a network of child sex trafficking and abusing dozens of them between 2002 and 2007 in his mansions in New York and Florida .

George explained that "the purchase of Great St. James (by Epstein) was part of the expansion of his criminal activity and the cover-up of what was happening in Little St. James, and is clearly an example of how Epstein and his partners they frequently violated the laws. "
The claim of the Virgin Islands in the Superior Court of that territory focuses on the "allegations of patterns and practices of trafficking, sexual abuse and forced labor" of minors and "does not support or displace the demands of individual victims" that have done in parallel, explained the prosecutor.
"I look for all the remedies available to the Government in application of the Law," added George, who specified that it is not a criminal case and is pursuing "the confiscation or sale of property, including the islands of Little St. James and Great St. James, compensation for damages and civil crimes. "
According to The New York Times, the lawsuit states that Epstein, who was registered as a sex offender, bought the properties in 2016 and that in summer 2018 he did not allow access to a Justice Department investigator in Little St. James claiming that The port was its "main gate".
