KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF) — A pastor in Missouri was suspended last week after it was discovered she worked for and managed the private island of late-sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for nearly a year.

On Thursday, Bishop Robert Farr of the Missouri Conference of The United Methodist Church placed Rev. Stephanie L. Remington on leave, pending a review by the episcopal office.

Remington reportedly worked as Epstein’s administrative assistant and temporary property manager of his private island, Little Saint James, from August 2018 to May 2019. Epstein was arrested just two months later, in July 2019, for sex trafficking crimes, and then died in his cell by alleged suicide in August.

Despite having worked closely with the disgraced financier, Remington told United Methodist (UM) News that she never saw Epstein or anyone commit abuse on the island. However, she did admit that when she accepted the job she knew Epstein was a registered sex offender who had served 18 months for the conviction.

“I never saw anything,” Remington told the publication. “I knew him for the last nine months of his life, well after he served time for the things that he was accused of doing.”

It was later discovered that her name appears in approximately 1,800 documents of the Epstein files on the Department of Justice website. Many of the files are emails that discuss her “day-to-day” work operations, UM News reported.

At this time, Remington has not been accused of any crime, and her suspension is temporary (90 days).

Church leaders reported they were only recently made aware of Remington’s ties to Epstein and did not know of her previous employment.

A federal court revoked the U.S. citizenship of a man who orchestrated a massive $3.8 million COVID-19 relief fraud scheme, ruling he obtained naturalization through lies while actively committing fraud. The defendant submitted numerous fraudulent loan applications using false information and diverted taxpayer funds meant for struggling businesses.

When you lie, cheat, and exploit programs meant to help others, accountability doesn’t stop at sentencing. It follows you.
