• The ex-first lady of the Virgin Islands consulted Jeffrey Epstein on a sex offender bill, JPMorgan said.
• She also asked Epstein to pay college tuition for at least one of her kids, the bank said.
• The filings come as JPMorgan is accused by the Virgin Islands of facilitating Epstein's alleged crimes.

Jeffrey Epstein paid college tuition for the children of the US Virgin Islands' then-first lady, the same year she consulted him on changes to a sex offender registration law, according to JPMorgan Chase.

Cecile de Jongh, wife of then-Governor John de Jongh Jr., sent an email to Epstein containing a $25,000 tuition bill for Skidmore College, a private liberal arts school in New York, per court filings from JPMorgan.

"Please approve," the email's subject line said, per the filings.

That email was sent in May 2011, according to documents filed in the Manhattan federal court on Wednesday and seen by Insider.

Not sure how they 'should've known' this was an untoward action at the time, but I guess they've calculated it's in their best interest to settle.

Probably a lot worse than this if you look more deeply is my guess.

Basically a limited hangout situation.
