Are there open investigations into Donald Trump for sexual misconduct with minors?

1. A long ledger of accusations, but criminal charges for minors are not documented in these sources

News timelines and compilations (The Guardian, Business Insider, Wikipedia collations) document dozens of women who have accused Trump of various forms of sexual misconduct across decades and note a civil jury found him liable in E. Jean Carroll’s case, but those pieces do not report an open criminal probe into Trump specifically for sexual misconduct with minors ^{[1] [3] [4]}. Sources emphasize civil liability in at least one case and many public allegations, rather than active criminal investigations focused on minors ^{[5] [1]}.

2. Epstein records revived scrutiny, but reporters say no tie to Epstein investigations has produced charges against Trump

Recent releases of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein have prompted renewed questions about Trump’s knowledge of or connections to Epstein’s crimes; the Los Angeles Times coverage says the records “are sure to revive questions,” but explicitly reports “No investigation has tied Trump to Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking of young women” ^[2]. Newsweek’s summary of Epstein-related reporting notes prominent Epstein accusers—such as Virginia Giuffre—have said they did not witness Trump involved in Epstein’s crimes ^[6].

3. Coverage distinguishes allegations, civil suits and criminal probes — and that distinction matters

The 19th, Axios and other outlets in the set underscore that allegations span private claims, civil suits, congressional or congressional-committee attention, and criminal investigations of other figures (for example, investigations into Matt Gaetz’s associates or Joel Greenberg), but they stop short of saying Trump himself faces an ongoing criminal investigation for sexual misconduct with minors in the provided pieces ^{[7] [8] [9]}. Several sources underscore Trump has denied allegations and, in reporting, outlets often note he has not been criminally charged on these matters ^{[10] [1]}.

4. Some reporting shows claims of interactions with minors in older accounts — but investigative status is unclear

Compilations such as Wikipedia’s long list of allegations include claims that some accusers or witnesses alleged interactions involving minors; those entries note serious claims (including alleged provision of illegal drugs to minors) but are compilations of allegations rather than confirmations of active criminal cases, and the sources supplied do not document any present-day, open criminal investigation into Trump for sexual misconduct with minors ^[4].

5. Misinformation and extreme claims exist and have been challenged by fact‑checkers

The Snopes item in the bundle addresses viral claims alleging large hush-money settlements to cover child-rape claims and finds that narrative contains unproven items tied to conspiracy circles; Snopes frames those particular settlement-and-child‑rape claims as unproved or dubious ^[11]. That suggests readers should treat sensational or widely circulated claims—especially ones alleging secret settlements for child-rape by Trump—with caution absent reliable primary documentation ^[11].

6. What the available sources explicitly do and do not say — and why that matters

The Guardian, Business Insider and Axios provide timelines and summaries of many allegations and legal actions (civil suits, congressional probes into other figures), and the Los Angeles Times notes the Epstein document releases “revive questions,” but these same articles explicitly state there is no public record in their reporting tying Trump to criminal sex‑trafficking prosecutions connected to Epstein or to an ongoing criminal investigation for sexual misconduct with minors involving Trump ^{[1] [3] [8] [2]}. Therefore, available sources do not mention an active criminal investigation specifically into Trump for sexual misconduct with minors.

7. How to interpret gaps and next steps for verification

Given the serious nature of these claims and the continuing release of related records (such as Epstein files), readers should expect new reporting could change the picture; but based on the current set of sources, journalists and fact-checkers distinguish allegations, civil liability, and investigations into associated figures—while not documenting an open criminal investigation into Trump for sexual misconduct with minors in the materials provided ^{[5] [2] [11]}. For confirmation beyond these sources, seek direct statements from law-enforcement agencies, recent investigative reporting citing authorities, or court filings, none of which are present in the supplied set (not found in current reporting).
