Billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein arrested for alleged sex trafficking

nbc-

Billionaire convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was arrested Saturday in connection with federal sex trafficking allegations, law enforcement officials said.

The arrest stems from incidents spanning from 2002 to 2005, three law enforcement officials said.

Epstein, 66, of Palm Beach, Florida, had flown from Paris to New York when he was arrested in Teterboro, New Jersey, the officials said. The arrest was part of a joint NYPD and FBI investigation.

The New York Police Department, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the FBI declined to comment.

The Epstein case was led by SDNY’s Public Corruption Unit, working with the sex crimes division, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

Three senior law enforcement officials confirm that Jeffrey Epstein was in custody at Teterboro airport in New Jersey earlier today after flying into the U.S. on an overseas flight.

Separately, a senior law enforcement official briefed on the case says that Epstein is expected to face multiple federal charges for “dozens” of victims.

The official says, Epstein allegedly paid minors cash for massages and then sex acts. He would then allegedly pay those alleged victims even more money to bring him their friends/others who he would also allegedly pay for acts.

The official says that some victims are as young as 14 years old.

  1. he’s being charged with one count of trafficking of minors, and one count of conspiracy to commit that trafficking. For ‘dozens’ of minor girls. Dozens. Charged by the sdny, with possible sentence of 45 years. Why so few charges? Hey, the sdny- aren’t they turning Trump’s, and his family, financial history inside out, trying to find something improper there that they can charge him with? Gee, I wonder if there isn’t some sort of association there? Sounds to me like a variation on a weinstein maneuver.
    And I do think the bastard, epstein, should get serious time for his flagrant crimes. But there is much more going on here.

  2. I’m truly surprised these lawfare boy’s found time to run down this scumbag when we all know they only have one fish to fry. Trust Me… Its all a house of mirrors. They have scapegoats for their scapegoats.

    /Salute

  3. I wonder if this is the first ‘domino’. You know, the one that starts the cascade of fallen dominoes. One by one.

    I do hope the popcorn I’ve been hording hasn’t gone stale!

    We shall see…

  4. Why would a public corruption unit be handling a sex trafficking case? Epstein was never elected or appointed to any government position.

    Here’s hoping that the victims will finally get their justice.

  5. if he will rape women, and underage minor girls at that, he will certainly also lie, or even make up a story to save his rancid ass. He’ll wind up with an anthony weiner type sentence of a few months riding ponys if he tells the right tale about the right people. And he knows that.

  6. toby miles, they generally charge “easy” for the first go-around so as not to taint the cards they hold in abeyance. They hold back charges for further sallies in the event that shit breaks down. They have him. They will (G-d willing) make sure this scumbag does hard time.

    You don’t charge a serial killer who has killed 62 people with 62 counts of murder. You hit him with one or two good counts and reserve the 60 other counts in the case of a breach of justice.

  7. How many times did Bill and Hillary Clinton fly down to Little St. James In Eppy’s jet?

    There are low level criminals who would stab me for the $47 in my wallet. How much greater acts of evil would some people commit, when the reward is billions of dollars, and power over the masses?

    Godfather. Senator Geary scene. If Epstein has compromising footage of politicians, judges, celebrities, etc. then he runs them.

    Does anybody else feel like the whole world is sleeping through this?

  8. He is an elite and Podesta Bro.s
    are part of it.He will keep his mouth shut
    and take the 5 years probation.The elite club
    will supply millions for defense and bribes.
    There were 2 women that helped him secure 12-14
    year old girls.1 was in N.Y. City the other in Miami.

  9. He’s going to jail. And he may topple the entire pyramid. It would be a fine thing to see the Clintons and the Obamas in chains. And who knows who else? Stranger things have happened. One can only hope.

    Epstein is going to jail. They let a lot of shit pass… but child fuckers receive the enmity of all — except democrats.

  10. The Clintons have lost their mojo and their dynasty is collapsing. Their bid to run the United States failed. Their attempt to run Trump out of office failed. “Donations” are at an all time low and now the “Big Bad Wolf” is eating away at the edges of their empire. It is only a matter of time before they board a private plane to obscurity, but something tells me that Trump has his eye on them… and for good reasons!

  11. OK NW WE KNOW WHY the police chief and three other officers comitted “Arkinside” last month

    Things are getting interesting indeed

    Maybe Weiner’s life insurance policy is finally being paid off

  12. God knows what perv bill clinton did on epstein’s pedo island during his frequent visits. Maybe the rest of us will finally find out while clinton is still alive.

    Rich pervs buying perv democrats, and perv democrats protecting rich pervs in kind.

    Hang them all.

  13. Trump’s name doesn’t appear in epstein’s well kept (with poor legibility) flight log to his private island. Apparently Trump did accept a singular short hop aboard a chartered plane back to nyc from epstein’s son, but that was within the US and not related to the island or otherwise. The investigators in epstin’s original case praised Trump for his cooperation, and at that being above all others. When epstein was accussed of molesting an underage girl at Trump’s Mar Largo club, he was banished for life. I think Trump is pretty much clear. But-
    “According to her LinkedIn profile, Maurene Comey has served as the Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York since 2015.” That would be daddy’s little girl right there.

  14. T’hell with 1 dollar lottery tickets. I’d rather spend a grand on a life insurance policy for someone closely connected to the Clintons and this scandal…

  15. A pervert/criminal “House of Cards” has started to topple with the Epstein arrest. The Clinton card will be the last to fall, but satisfying. Hopefully, Crooked Billy and Hellary won’t croak before justice is served.

  16. I said in an earlier post Hillary would be faking her death by the end of the year to escape justice looks like I’m on track to be correct.

    I DOUBT SHE WILL EVER BE held to Justice.

    Many car crashes/explosions airplane crashes and Arkansides to come soon no doubt

  17. @Anon: “toby miles, they generally charge “easy” for the first go-around so as not to taint the cards they hold in abeyance…”

    that may be all well and fine, if true. Did they ‘hold back the cards’ when he was prosecuted initially? They certainly held back things then, and it is only because of Cernovich’s relentless pursuit of what was ‘held back’ that he is now charged again. I’d like to see the whole deck. Leniency of his prosecution, in exchange for his cooperation, should not be at the expense of the public knowing the extent of his (heinous) crimes, and his pleading to a lesser offense.
    And, don’t overlook- the lead prosecutor in the case is comey”s daughter. She will probably make a decision before she interviews him- sort of a family tradition.
