Prosecutors unsealed an indictment against billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein on Monday. The court accuses Epstein sexually abusing dozens of young girls for years at one of the biggest mansions in Manhattan, paying them hundreds of dollars in cash for each encounter and hundreds more if they could recruit other victims.
As Zero Hedge noted, this is separate from last week’s order by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals that documents in a defamation lawsuit against Epstein be made public, which may contain the names of high-level individuals.
Bloomberg reported:
A two-count indictment describing sex acts with girls as young as 14 was unsealed early Monday in federal court in Manhattan just hours after federal agents used a crowbar to enter Epstein’s townhouse. The charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy carry a minimum of 10 years in prison if he’s convicted. He is expected to make an appearance later on Monday and seek to be released on bail.
Mike Cernovich posted the indictment.
