Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein arrested and charged with sex trafficking
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Convicted pedophile arrested on the tarmac after he jets in from France as FBI agents break down the door of his NYC mansion to execute search warrant.
- Federal prosecutors with the US Attorney's office in Manhattan filed sex trafficking charges against Jeffrey Epstein on Saturday
- He was taken into custody after his private jet touched down from Paris on Saturday at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey
- Epstein will appear in court Monday, 11 years after he received a sweetheart deal and avoided federal charges despite allegations he molested over 30 minors
- The plea deal Epstein agreed to back in 2008 saved the accused child rapist from having to register as a sex offender in 31 of 50 states
- The US Attorney's Office and a spokesperson with the New York Police Department both declined to comment on Saturday
- This week, 2,000 pages of records that could reveal how he and his accused accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly trafficked underage girls were unsealed
| Alex Acosta, the U.S. Attorney who cut that plea deal with Mr. Epstein back in 2008, is now President Trump’s labour secretary. And the president himself was Mr. Epstein’s neighbour in Florida. This sure looks like a play to get — or at least weaken — Trump, else why do it now instead of any time in the last decade? |
