Democrat’s Spouse Allegedly Aided Epstein’s Heinous Crimes
Cecile de Jongh, the wife of former Democrat Gov. John de Jongh Jr. of the U.S. Virgin Islands, is being implicated in the heinous actions of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. This shocking revelation was part of a court filing from JPMorgan Chase, which recently agreed to pay Epstein’s victims nearly $290 million in settlement.
During her husband’s tenure, Cecile de Jongh served as an office manager for Epstein’s businesses in the U.S. territory. A stark reality is that Epstein’s nefarious actions seemed to have been conducted under the watchful eyes of local politicians, notably within the tenure of a Democrat administration. The bank’s report implies that instead of taking action against Epstein, they allegedly assisted him.
JPMorgan Chase asserts that the U.S. Virgin Islands government, under the leadership of the then-Gov. de Jongh fostered ideal conditions for Epstein’s illicit conduct to go unnoticed. The bank’s report points to Cecile de Jongh as a critical figure, stating she “ran Epstein’s business operations on the island” and “helped him deal with local politicians and law enforcement.”
Allegations further claim that Cecile de Jongh was instrumental in setting up English classes for Epstein’s victims, who were then transported to the island under the guise of education. She was also allegedly involved in securing their visas. Even more astonishing is that this was allegedly conducted while Epstein was a convicted offender and de Jongh’s husband served as governor.
JPMorgan Chase maintains that “the first lady was his ‘primary conduit’ for spreading money and influence.” This influence allegedly included adjusting laws that would inhibit Epstein’s travel when the island updated their monitoring of offenders in 2011. The gravity of these allegations cannot be understated, particularly considering Epstein’s now-infamous reputation.
More troubling is the claim that de Jongh attempted to garner Epstein’s financial support for the congressional campaign of Democrat Stacey Plaskett, who was later elected as a U.S. Congress delegate. This revelation, if proven true, suggests an unholy alliance between politics and criminal activities.
In response to these revelations, a spokesperson for the island’s attorney general accused JPMorgan Chase of shifting blame and distracting from its legal issues. Critics may argue that this is merely a deflection tactic from the core issue.
It’s crucial to note that these are still allegations, and all parties involved deserve due process. However, the emerging narrative underscores the potential failings of the political system in protecting its constituents from such predatory actions. It poses tough questions about oversight and accountability, particularly within the context of a Democrat administration.
The truth must be sought, and justice must be served, not just for Epstein’s victims, but to ensure such shocking exploitation of the system is not repeated. The public deserves complete transparency, and the implications of these revelations warrant a thorough investigation.
