It claims that between 1996 and 2005, “the FBI continued to receive direct reports, complaints and tips concerning the illegal sex trafficking of women and underage minors, sex abuse and human rights violations committed by Jeffrey Epstein and associates”.
Evidence that the agency ignored, the lawsuit claims, included “photographs, videos and interviews and hard evidence of child prostitution”.
I don’t think this will be a successful lawsuit. The police in the USA have no legal obligation to protect you in any way.
Probably not. But it would be good to hold an agency to account. If discovery can lead to showing they indeed knew, it will be even better if the fbi would have to explain their choice in prosecution (or pack there of).
I would expect each decision to be well motivated, this is not the case currently… but maybe this can help on the path to transparency.
It is more than unfortunate that it would take these kind of abuses to go ignored before people demand change.
The federal government is especially difficult to sue due to qualified immunity.

And they should not have that legal obligation. Jesus, imagine how that would play. We can make up scenarios all night long.
