Epstein Victim Wants JPMorgan ‘Abuser’ Removed From Her Lawsuit

A victim of Jeffrey Epstein is asking a federal judge to remove former JPMorgan executive Jes Staley from her lawsuit against the bank, arguing its “true reason” for dragging Staley into the litigation was to “harass and intimidate” her and other survivors.

Last November, Jane Doe sued JPMorgan, alleging the financial giant facilitated Epstein’s trafficking enterprise while keeping him as a client for nearly 15 years. In her complaint, Doe said a “powerful financial executive” who was friends with Epstein had sexually assaulted her but she declined to name him “out of fear.”
