Plaskett Comments on Dismissal of Jane Doe-Epstein Case

Congresswoman Plaskett is grateful for this resolution and is continuing to dedicate her full attention to addressing the critical needs of Virgin Islands residents.

Throughout her distinguished career—as a prosecutor in New York, at the U.S. Department of Justice, and as the representative for the U.S. Virgin Islands in Congress—Congresswoman Plaskett has maintained an unwavering commitment to integrity, the rule of law, and advocacy for those most vulnerable. She has consistently stood against sexual violence and the exploitation of women and children. The frivolous case brought against the Congresswoman was completely dismissed without any settlement payment or any other agreement whatsoever.  The outright dismissal of this case—without a single dollar paid or any form of settlement—shows that the claims asserted against Congresswoman Plaskett were entirely baseless and that Congresswoman Plaskett had no involvement in Epstein’s disgusting and abhorrent activities.

The Congresswoman has consistently stated that Jeffrey Epstein’s actions against the plaintiffs and countless other women were absolutely reprehensible. She remains hopeful that all of Epstein’s victims receive the justice and closure they deserve and continues to pray for their healing and recovery.

Congresswoman Plaskett and her family extend their heartfelt gratitude to the many individuals who offered support and encouragement during this period.
