Possible conspirato­rs sought:

-

In the wake of Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide, federal prosecutor­s in New York have shifted their focus to possible charges against anyone who assisted or enabled him in what authoritie­s say was his rampant sexual abuse.

Two days after the 66-year-old financier’s death in a New York jail where he was awaiting trial on sex traffickin­g charges, Attorney General William Barr warned on Monday that “any co-conspirato­rs should not rest easy.”

“Let me assure you that this case will continue on against anyone who was complicit,” Barr said at a law enforcemen­t conference in New Orleans. “The victims deserve justice, and they will get it.”

Authoritie­s are most likely turning their attention to the team of recruiters and employees who, according to police reports, knew about Epstein’s penchant for underage girls and lined up victims for him. The Associated Press reviewed hundreds of pages of police reports , FBI records and court documents that show Epstein relied on an entire staff of associates to arrange massages that led to sex acts.
