Sex offender Jeffrey Epstein paid school tuition for the children of then-governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands, whose wife made efforts to secure student visas and a work license for young women connected to Epstein, according to an updated court filing Thursday by JPMorgan Chase.
Those tuition payments, whose duration and amounts were not revealed, allowed then-Gov. John de Jongh Jr. “to funnel additional money to his political campaigns,” JPMorgan said in the filing in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
Epstein also “offered to fund Governor de Jongh’s defense in the Governor’s criminal case,” where the then-governor was charged in 2015 in connection with the use of public funds to make security improvements at his private residence, according to the filing. Those charges were dropped in early 2016 by the Virgin Islands Department of Justice.
JPMorgan alleges Epstein’s generosity was part of his broader effort to build sway on the islands.
The filing is part of the bank’s defense of a civil lawsuit by the U.S. Virgin Islands alleging JPMorgan facilitated Epstein’s sex trafficking of young women. Epstein, who was a JPMorgan customer between 1998 and 2013, owned two private islands in the territory and abused multiple young women at his residence on one of those islands.
JPMorgan denies wrongdoing in the case.

“Jeffrey Epstein paid school tuition for the children of then-governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands”
And yet we STILL don’t know who funded Obama’s education....
“”Ghislaine must be pissed. Sitting behind bars for trafficking sex to no one in particular.””
I like that description.
Always helpful to review the legal facts...
Every criminal and civil charge against Epstein took place before 2000, except one.
Only one lawsuit alleges that under age sex took place on one of the islands.
The woman who sued Prince Andrew, who turned 18 in 2001, claimed she had sex with Andrew, one time, on one of the islands.
The only crime Epstein was ever charged with before 2019 was paying a 17 year old to have sex in the late 1990s.
She told Epstein she was 18, which was not a defense for Epstein under Florida law.
Also, Epstein, who admitted no guilt, paid cash settlements to multiple women for underage sex, which took place before 2000.
Epstein was a bad person.
However, almost everything journalists claim he did is NOT reflected in the legal record.
Also important, the investigations into Epstein in the early 2000s were conducted by two female Republicans. Pam Bondi, the Attorney General of Florida, and the GW Bush appointed US Attorney in Miami.
