Jeffrey Epstein said sexual assaults on women and girls in paedophile files could be considered crimes against humanity by the United Nations .

The Department of Justice of the United States Government of the United States of America has reviewed the documents released on January 20, and the conclusion is clear: there are indications of crimes against humanity and the perpetrators acted with complete impunity

According to the Rapporteurs, Epstein's files show that women who were held by the paedophilia network were subjected to sexual slavery, reproductive violence, torture , feminicide, enforced disappearance and degrading treatment. Experts have called on international and local courts to prosecute alleged crimes. Esan, the attacks took place in a context where racism, corruption, supremacism, extreme misogyny  and the dehumanization of women were mixed.

They have therefore called for an independent and impartial investigation to clarify how such crimes occurred for so long, adding that it is necessary for  "to intervene by the governments to punish the perpetrators" because no one "is above the law". 

On the other hand, they have also condemned "serious errors" in the disclosure of these files, as "private information" about the victims was disseminated. "Failure to protect the privacy of these women puts the victims at risk." 

Among the signatories to the document released today are Reem Alsalem, Ana Brian Nougreres and Gina Romero , rapporteurs on violence against women and girls, the right to privacy and freedom of association, respectively.
