The arrest comes 11 years after the billionaire was charged with 18 months jail time for soliciting a minor for prostitution.
Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire financier with Hollywood and political ties, has been arrested on charges of sex trafficking of minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005,The latest charges against the money manager allege that employees and friends procured dozens of underage girls, as young as 14, for Epstein, who understood they were under 18. Epstein, the charges claim, paid the girls in cash for "massages" but later sexually assaulted or abused them.
The arrest comes 11 years after Epstein, 66, was sentenced to 18 months jail time after he pled guilty to two charges, one of solicitation of a prostitute and another of solicitation of a minor for prostitution. Later, his sentence was reduced to a 13 months, with one year of parole; while incarcerated, Epstein lived in the private wing of a county jail and was able to leave confinement for 12 hours a day to go to his office, a situation that raised eyebrows for legal analysts.
Since then, Epstein has continued to socialize with boldfaced names including Katie Couric, George Stephanopoulos, Chelsea Handler, Woody Allen and Britain's Prince Andrew,reported in 2017. Before his sentence, the billionaire was known to hobnob with Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Chris Tucker, Kevin Spacey, Larry Summers and Mort Zuckerman.
