The Southern District of New York prioritizes the investigation and prosecution of child pornography, child enticement, child endangerment, and sex trafficking offenses. In July 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was charged with sex trafficking of minors between 2002 through 2005. Epstein exploited and abused dozens of underage girls by enticing them to engage in sex acts for money. He allegedly worked with employees and associates to maintain a supply of minor victims and paid victims to recruit others. The indictment was vacated after Epstein's death in August 2019.
