Jeffrey Epstein's famous island lies within the US Virgin Islands, giving the US absolute jurisdiction. Any failure to prosecute individuals for crimes committed there lies entirely at the peril of the US Justice Dept., and there is no statute of limitations (viz: The Mann Act (18 U.S.C. §§ 2421–2423) is subject to federal statutes of limitations, with some important exceptions for cases involving death or certain child‑victim provisions). It would be interesting to assess the culpability, including impeachment, of a DOJ official who so failed in "her" duty (Attn: Pam Bondi). Any prosecution of a "high ranking government official" for crimes committed under such law prior to "his" assuming office would presumably not be impeded by any grant by any court of immunity during such tenure of office.
