The organization Mouv’Enfants on Wednesday criticized the sale of clothing linked to Jeffrey Epstein on online platforms and called for them to be banned. Navy blue sweatshirts bearing the initials JEE (Jeffrey Edward Epstein) have been spotted on Etsy, Vinted, AliExpress and eBay – a replica of an item worn by the sex criminal in photos.
“Jeffrey Epstein is not a cultural reference, but a pedo criminal who is responsible for a systematic network of sexual violence against young people,” explains the organization, which is committed to the fight against pedo crime, in a press release.
“Doing business with the image of a pedo criminal is obscene. (…) If platforms make money from the image of a pedocriminal, they support their trivialization.”
«Something must be done to ban the sale of such items that show that the platforms are not controlled. Can you imagine T-shirts with Fourniret or Marc Dutroux?” explained Arnaud Gallais, founder of Mouv’Enfants.
Vinted and eBay have since announced that they will remove the sweatshirts in question from sale.
T-shirts with Trump and Epstein
Dozens of identical examples of the embroidered sweater were available on Vinted when you searched for “Jeffrey Epstein” or “Epstein quartier zip” (model of the sweater) in the app before they were eventually removed.
“The sale of items that promote any form of sexual abuse is expressly prohibited. We therefore apply a zero-tolerance policy towards any inappropriate or offensive content, including advertisements that refer to criminal acts,” Vinted said in a statement.

The sale of these products illustrates the “impunity” that large digital platforms enjoy, criticizes the organization and is reminiscent of the online sale of sexual dolls in the shape of children at the end of 2025.
Some T-shirts found on the platforms appear to denounce the suspected links between Jeffrey Epstein and US President Donald Trump by depicting the two next to each other in the red heart.

Donald Trump moved in the same circles as Jeffrey Epstein, but claims that he broke with him long before his death and had no knowledge of his sexual crimes. (jzs/afp)
