Of all the reasons put forward, this may be the most worrying for the rich and powerful.
Epstein files suggest acts that may amount to crimes against humanity, say UN experts -The Guardian
Millions of files related to the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a “global criminal enterprise” that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the United Nations human rights council has said.
The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US justice department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny. The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls.
“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said in a statement.

As for our injustice department
The US justice department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
For example, Epstein’s Global Pollution
Epstein’s African connections included presidents, heirs, and recruiters -Le Monde
From Senegal to Côte d'Ivoire, via Morocco and Rwanda, Jeffrey Epstein's shadow stretched long across Africa. The three million documents released by the US Department of Justice on January 30 revealed that the American sexual predator and businessman, who died in 2019, used the same practices on the continent as he did elsewhere in the world to satisfy his thirst for power. He built an ecosystem in which relationships with the powerful, sometimes murky business dealings and sexual predation were all intertwined.
Was any corner of the world a safe place?
No.
The BBC has an audiofile entitled: The Global Story: Epstein’s global network: What the files reveal: www.bbc.com/…
The reach of this pervert is appalling. I wonder how many spin-offs occurred?
To me, it is obvious that the rich and powerful believe they are above the law and that they network constantly.
It raises many questions; we need answers.
As a crime against humanity, the ICC and ICJ should investigate.
No wonder none have broken down……..yet.
