Five years after Jeffrey Epstein's death, survivors of his sexual abuse are still seeking justice through various avenues. Despite the establishment of a victims' compensation fund, which began accepting claims in 2021 and offers a confidential forum for monetary compensation, many survivors feel that true justice has yet to be achieved.

Several survivors, represented by law firms such as Merson Law, are demanding accountability from institutions that failed to act on numerous allegations and tips about Epstein's activities. This includes the FBI, which is currently facing lawsuits for negligence in handling Epstein's case. Critics argue that the FBI has shown a lack of urgency in addressing the survivors' claims, in stark contrast to its actions in other high-profile sexual abuse cases, such as those involving Larry Nassar​.

Moreover, Epstein's influence and manipulation of the justice system allowed him to evade significant punishment during his lifetime, further complicating the survivors' quest for justice. Epstein's 2008 plea deal, which resulted in a minimal sentence, and the subsequent lack of notification to his victims about the deal, highlight systemic failures that survivors are now trying to address through legislative reforms like the Courtney Wild Crime Victims' Rights Reform Act.

The struggle for justice continues as survivors push for greater recognition of their suffering, legal accountability for those who enabled Epstein's crimes, and systemic changes to prevent such failures in the future.
