Prominent conservative figures and anti-human trafficking advocates are pushing back after the Department of Justice and FBI claimed that Jeffrey Epstein had no client list and died by suicide.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, the DOJ and FBI released a memo this week concluding the federal investigation into Epstein, the convicted sex offender with ties to wealthy global elites.
Jaco Booyens, a Texas-based anti-human trafficking activist and founder of Jaco Booyens Ministries, also criticized the decision.
“There must be justice for the victims of sex trafficking. We cannot and will not stay silent,” Booyens wrote on X. “Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were convicted as traffickers. That means they sold human beings, including minors, to buyers for sex.”
“Survivors are still waiting for real justice,” he added. “Those who enabled, participated, or turned a blind eye must be held accountable, no matter how powerful they are. Silence is complicity. Keep demanding the truth.”
Others echoed Booyens’ call for justice.
“Yes!! Indeed. A good portion of God-fearing people in our society — as a whole — recognize the immorality, the degradation of human dignity, and the utter depraved evil at the core of this. Silence DOES mean complicity,” Valley Nerd wrote on X.
Conservative figures such as Tucker Carlson argued that such a cover-up could lead to a revolution.
“How can you say that thousands of children were raped, but I’m not gonna find out who raped them?” Carlson said in a podcast episode. He described the situation as one of the most outrageous cases he has ever seen and warned that mishandling it could create serious consequences. “I do not want a revolution, but if you wanted a revolution, this is how you would act,” he added.
The Dallas Express reached out to Unbound, a nonprofit that works to end human trafficking, but did not receive a response.
