>The Epstein-type crimes appear to be more prevalent in other branches of government and other parts of society than specifically in the legislative.

Based on what?

Saying its an enforcement problem is itself inadequate, because there seem to be nothing really happening and there are endless numbers of powerful and wealthy people who are "in the Epstein files" that gets out in the media, yet somehow none or almost none of them are being prosecuted now or in the past. Some of the now adult victims have made public acknowledgement, congress passed a law saying the details must be disclosed, and the trump admin refuses to do that. Congress is captured by republicans and repubs in congress are captured by trump. So nothing happens.

At the highest level the release of the files is blocked (i.e. congress and the president are the highest level).
