Former Barclays boss Jes Staley has been accused of sexually abusing a woman at Jeffrey Epstein’s Virgin Islands retreat, according to a new court ruling.
Staley, a former private banking chief at JP Morgan, is alleged to have ‘used aggressive force in his sexual assault of [anonymous victim ‘JPM Jane Doe’] and informed [her] that he had Epstein’s permission to do what he wanted to her,’ the ruling, filed on Monday, states.
The explosive revelation – the first direct accusation of sexual assault against Staley at the behest of Epstein – is part of a ruling issued by US District Court Judge Jed S. Rakoff allowing specific claims against Epstein’s estate to move forward.
Staley, 66, has admitted a friendship with Epstein but has denied participating in sexual assaults on women trafficked by the disgraced late financier.
The filing, in New York’s Southern District, puts more pressure on JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon by allowing claims by multiple Jane Does and the US Virgin Islands, where Epstein had a house on a private island, to proceed.
The claims say JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank were legally liable for their alleged facilitation of Epstein’s sex crimes and “knowingly benefited from participating in a sex-
trafficking venture,” Judge Rakoff wrote.
US District Judge Jed S. Rakoff wrote, “The claim of plaintiff the Government of the United States Virgin Islands that defendant JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. knowingly benefited from participating in a sex-trafficking venture…remains as part of the case.”
Staley exchanged 1,200 emailed with Epstein between 2008 and 2012, after the pedophile was convicted on a single charge of soliciting a minor in a plea bargain.
