The latest filings add new details to the claims that Epstein used his extensive political sway in the Virgin Islands to rewrite the territory’s sex offender law. In 2011, the Virgin Islands moved to update its sex offender registry law to comply with federal standards. The proposed reforms alarmed Epstein, who had been convicted of child prostitution charges in 2008, making him a registered sex offender who would be impacted by the proposed bill.

Epstein and his close circle of lobbyists and aides closely followed the legislation and worked to weaken it.

Epstein, the emails show, pushed for changes to the bill, and was personally involved with the negotiations with a key lawmaker advancing the legislation, Senator Ronald Russell.
