Epstein background

The life and death of world renowned sexual predator and pedophile Jefrey Epstein is commonplace, and riddled with theories and unanswered questions. It shocked the world when it was announced that Jeffrey Epstein had been found dead in his New York jail cell, which was reported as “suicide” on Aug. 10, 2019, just 35 days after he was arrested.

At the time of his highly suspicious death, Epstein was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges after he was accused of sexually trafficking dozens of underage girls and engaging in sexual acts with them.

According to the unsealed federal indictment and announcement made by the United States Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York, prosecutors said in or about 2002, up to and including at least in or about 2005, “Epstein sexually exploited and abused dozens of underage girls by enticing them to engage in sex acts with him in exchange for money. Epstein allegedly worked with several employees and associates to ensure that he had a steady supply of minor victims to abuse, and paid several of those victims themselves to recruit other underage girls to engage in similar sex acts for money. He committed these offenses in locations including New York, New York, and Palm Beach, Florida.”

The indictment described how Epstein would lure women to his gated compound in Palm Beach, Florida where he would pay young girls, many who were underage, hundreds of dollars to give him nude massages and have sex with him. Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell also enticed the young girls to recruit other girls to engage in sexual acts with Epstein.

Prior to being arrested and jailed in New York, Epstein, who made his fortune as a financier, had previously been investigated in Florida more ten years earlier in connection with the sexual abuse of underage girls.

While there’s enough salacious details surrounding the the Epstein scandal to fill an encyclopedia, the Florida based investigation into Epstein first began in 2005 by police in Palm Beach, Florida after the family of a 14-year-old girl reported that she was sexually molested inside Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion. The allegations grew in numbers as more underage girls, who were local high school students, also told police that Epstein recruited them and paid them to give him sexual massages.

During the Palm Beach Police Department’s investigation into Epstein, following the first report made by the 14 year old girl’s parents, police rummaged through Epstein’s trash, and discovered a piece of paper that had notes from a call written on it. Th note contained the young girl’s name on it, along with the names and phone numbers of other underage girls who Epstein wanted to sexually solicit. In October of 2005, the Palm Beach police were granted a warrant to search Epstein’s Palm Beach compound.

Despite engaging in pedophilia and prostitution in Florida, Epstein was given a slap on the wrist. In May 2006, Epstein’s case was formally referred to a grand jury in Palm Beach after he was charged with multiple counts of unlawful sex with a minor. He was later indicted on a single count of soliciting prostitution, which prompted the FBI to open up a multi-state investigation into Epstein.

In 2007, Epstein’s legal team had a private meeting with the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alex Acosta. It was during this meeting where Acosta struck a deal with Epstein’s legal team and agreed to only give Epstein a 13 month prison sentence in a low-security prison, and a total end to the FBI’s investigation into Epstein. Along with a 13 month prison sentence for his prostitution crimes, which was ultimately cut short by five months, Epstein also received immunity from being prosecuted on future similar charges brought against him on the condition that he register as a sex offender in Florida twice a year. He was sentenced in June of 2008, and released from prison early in July 2009.

In 2020, following Epstein’s alleged suicide, the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility conducted an investigation into Acosta’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein plea deal, and the Department of Justice ultimately concluded that Acosta exercised “poor judgment” when he resolved the federal investigation into Epstein through the state-based plea agreement with Epstein’s legal team in 2008.

Following his alleged suicide, Epstein’s predator behavior in Palm Beach was turned into the Netflix true crime docuseries, Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich, which focused heavily on the Palm Beach Sheriff Office’s handling of the investigation and incarceration of Epstein.
