JPMorgan Chase, the nation’s largest bank, has accused the wife of the former governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands of aiding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in his alleged criminal activity.
In a court filing Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the bank alleged that Cecile de Jongh was Epstein’s “primary conduit for spreading money and influence throughout the USVI government.”
The filing is part of an ongoing civil lawsuit that the Virgin Islands filed last year against JPMorgan Chase, accusing the company of financially benefiting from Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking operation in the Virgin Islands, where he owned a small island, and failing to report his suspicious financial activity.
According to the filing, de Jongh helped Epstein dodge sex offender monitoring laws, as well as coordinate visas, employment, and travel for his victims.
The lawsuit is ongoing, and JPMorgan Chase has not yet commented on the allegations. It is unclear what the outcome of the case will be.
