Denise George

Denise N. George, also known as Denise George-Counts, is a U.S. Virgin Islands lawyer and former television news reporter who served as the Attorney General of the United States Virgin Islands. She completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in radio, television, and film at the University of Maryland, College Park. George completed a Juris Doctor degree from Howard University School of Law in 1984.

George had been the driving force behind the lawsuits filed against the estate of Jeffrey Epstein. The suit was settled in December 2022 with the estate agreeing pay the Virgin Islands US$105 million and half of the sale price of Epstein's Little Saint James Island.

On 27 December 2022, George filed a lawsuit in the US federal court in New York City, which alleged JPMorgan Chase "knowingly facilitated, sustained, and concealed the human trafficking network operated by Jeffrey Epstein" and "financially benefitted" from those actions.

She was removed from her post on 1 January 2023 by Governor Albert Bryan. The governor's office said that media reports which linked George's sacking to her suit against JPMorgan were not "entirely" accurate. Provided by Wikipedia
