Stacey Plaskett Is Ordered To Stand Trial For Her Alleged Role In Epstein's Enterprise (Part 2) (3/26/25)
In the case of Jane Doe 1 et al. v. Government of the United States Virgin Islands et al., the plaintiffs—six anonymous women—allege that they were coerced into commercial sex acts by Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. They claim that the defendants, including the Government of the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) and several USVI political figures, facilitated Epstein's sex trafficking operations by providing various forms of assistance and, in return, received financial benefits such as loans, payments, and campaign donations. The plaintiffs assert violations of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and New York tort law.
Upon review, the court dismissed all claims except those against Stacey Plaskett, the USVI's delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives. The court found insufficient evidence to establish personal jurisdiction over the other defendants or to substantiate the claims against them. As a result, the case will proceed solely against Plaskett, focusing on her alleged involvement in facilitating Epstein's activities during her tenure as General Counsel for the Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority.
