Which underage-girl allegations against Donald Trump resulted in criminal investigations and what were their conclusions?

1. Civil suits and withdrawn complaints: how a 2016 teenage‑rape allegation moved through courts

A woman filed a suit in 2016 accusing Trump and Jeffrey Epstein of rape when she was 13; that suit was voluntarily dismissed in November 2016 and later refiled in Manhattan federal court, drawing renewed coverage when the refiled complaint restated Jane Doe’s claims (Courthouse News; The Guardian) ^{[1] [2]}. The filings prompted reporting and denials from Trump’s lawyers, and the Guardian reported investigators traced some filings to a producer with a history of disputed allegations, underlining contested provenance of parts of the record ^[2].

2. Criminal investigations: what the sources say prosecutors did (and did not) do

Available sources do not show a public criminal indictment of Trump for underage‑sex offenses. Reporting about the Epstein investigations and later congressional document releases raised questions about Trump’s proximity to Epstein and whether he “knew about the girls,” but the cited coverage documents political and congressional scrutiny rather than prosecutors bringing criminal charges against Trump on those allegations (AP, Reuters, The Hill, People) ^{[3] [5] [4] [6]}.

3. Epstein files and emails: renewed scrutiny, not prosecutions

Democrats released emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate in 2025 that include lines saying “of course he knew about the girls,” and references to Trump spending time with people Epstein identified, which reporters say raise questions about Trump’s knowledge of Epstein’s abuse; the White House and Trump deny wrongdoing and characterize releases as politically motivated (AP; The Hill; People) ^{[3] [4] [6]}. Those exchanges prompted congressional fights over fuller disclosure of Epstein materials but the sources do not record a criminal referral or charges against Trump based on those emails ^[3].

4. Media, fact‑checks and misinformation: what’s been debunked

Fact‑checking outlets and news organizations have pushed back on viral claims that prosecutors were “reconsidering bringing child rape and molestation charges” against Trump; Reuters’ fact check flagged false social posts that misrepresented reporting to assert imminent child‑molestation charges ^[7]. Snopes and other outlets have debunked circulating images and AI‑generated photos purporting to show Trump with underage girls; visual claims have been a frequent vector of misinformation during renewed interest in Epstein files ^[8].

5. Competing narratives and political context

Reporting shows two competing narratives in public sources: Democrats and some journalists argue the Epstein documents raise unanswered questions about Trump’s proximity to underage victims and demand fuller disclosure (AP; The Hill) ^{[3] [4]}. Trump allies and the White House call the disclosures selective political smears and deny culpability; some earlier lawsuits have been characterized by defendants and some investigators as lacking corroboration or tied to controversial sources ^{[3] [2]}.

6. Limits of the record and what’s not found in current reporting

Available sources do not mention a concluded criminal prosecution that charged Trump with sex crimes involving minors; they document civil filings, public allegations, investigative releases (Epstein files/emails), and media scrutiny ^{[1] [3] [4]}. Where sources recount refiled lawsuits or archived allegations, they also note dismissals, disputed sourcing, or denials—indicating litigation and political pressure rather than criminal convictions ^{[1] [2]}.

7. Bottom line for readers seeking clarity

There are high‑profile allegations tying Trump to encounters and environments involving underage girls and to Jeffrey Epstein; these have generated civil suits, congressional releases, media investigations and fact‑checks ^{[1] [3] [8] [7]}. The sources reviewed document renewed scrutiny in 2025 via released Epstein emails but do not record a criminal investigation that resulted in a charge and conviction of Trump on underage‑girl sex offenses; readers should treat civil complaints and released emails as grounds for inquiry but not as evidence of a criminal conviction in the current public record ^{[1] [3]}.
