The suits were brought under New York’s Adult Survivor Act, which lifts the usual statute of limitations for sex abuse and sex assault lawsuits for a one-year period that began Thursday.

In the JP Morgan suit, an anonymous Jane Doe — identified as a ballet dancer recruited to Epstein’s ring by another young woman — accuses the banking business of being the “essential ingredient” in Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring.The suit describes top JP Morgan execs of long being “willing to turn a blind eye to Epstein’s blatantly illegal operation” for years while he trafficked countless teenage girls as young as 14.

Before meeting Staley, Epstein relied on retail billionaire Les Wexner to fund his ventures, according to the lawsuit. Staley crucially provided Epstein with “a complicit financial banking institution that would ignore red flags.” after United Kingdom authorities completed an investigation of his role in Epstein’s sex trafficking.

Like the JP Morgan case, the suit against Deutsche Bank accuses the finance giant of turning a blind eye to Epstein’s activities.
