Illinois lawmakers are calling for an independent commission to investigate Illinois-linked crimes connected to international sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Democratic lawmakers Monday joined advocates for women and survivors of sexual abuse to introduce the bill to create a commission to investigate Illinois-based crimes connected to Epstein’s network.

Those would focus primarily on the stories of victims in Illinois and crimes that may have occurred in Illinois.
