Two women alleging sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein have filed lawsuits against JP Morgan Chase and Deutsche Bank.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They accuse the banks of ignoring “red flags” over their client and profiting from the late financier’s alleged sex trafficking operations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The disgraced financier took his own life in a jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Both lawsuits were filed as class-action lawsuits in New York on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They were brought by lawyers who have represented dozens of accusers of the late billionaire. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The women, who are also seeking monetary damages, are not named in the files, first reported by the Wall Street Journal newspaper and viewed by the BBC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to allegations in the lawsuit filed against JP Morgan Chase, a woman described as a former ballet dancer was molested by Epstein and his associates between 2006 and 2013.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is alleged that JP Morgan knew its accounts were being used for human trafficking due to the identities of the individuals making the large withdrawals and “Epstein’s well-documented criminal history”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

JP Morgan Chase declined to comment when contacted by BBC News.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    In a separate lawsuit against Deutsche Bank, another woman alleges she was trafficked by Epstein for sex for 15 years, beginning in 2003 when she first moved to New York.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    It is claimed that in some cases Epstein would pay the woman directly in cash for sexual acts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    The lawsuit suggests that the wealthy Epstein turned to Deutsche Bank when ties with JP Morgan were severed around 2013.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    It also references previous findings by New York banking regulators about Deutsche Bank’s deal with Epstein.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    They concluded that “although the bank correctly classified Epstein as high risk, [it] failed to investigate activity in the accounts for the types of activity apparently related to Epstein’s past.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Deutsche Bank previously admitted it made a “critical error” in hiring Epstein as a client.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    However, a spokesman for the investment bank said on Thursday: “We believe this allegation is unfounded and will present our arguments in court.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    One of the attorneys, Bradley Edwards, said in a written statement: “Epstein and his co-conspirators could not have been harassed without the help of wealthy individuals and financial institutions. We will not stop fighting for the survivors until everyone is held accountable. This is a big step, but not the end.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    He added: “It’s time the real trailblazers were held accountable, particularly his wealthy friends and the financial institutions that played an essential role.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
