Epstein sought to pay off potential witnesses, U.S. prosecutors say

NEW YORK - Jailed American financier Jeffrey Epstein made payments to two potential witnesses seeking to influence them in the child sex trafficking case against him late last year, prosecutors said late on Friday.

In a filing in Manhattan federal court, prosecutors said Epstein wired a total of $350,000 to the two individuals, who were not named. They said they learned of the payments through records they obtained from a financial institution, which was not identified.Epstein, 66, was arrested on July 6 at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, where he had returned on his private plane from Paris. He has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and conspiracy and could face up to 45 years in prison.

Epstein had faced similar charges in 2007, but negotiated a deal to avoid federal prosecution and plead guilty to a single Florida state prostitution charge. In Friday’s filing, however, prosecutors called Epstein “unrepentant and unreformed” and said his payments to possible witnesses, along with the risk he would use his wealth to flee the country, warranted keeping him behind bars.

TechQn Who did he upset after ten years? All of this makes zero sense. Takes 10 years to do what is right ? Nah little Jeff did something someone hates....

Did it work?

He's a dirty.

Has money, prior conviction and little chance of any sympathy from anyone anywhere!! This is what we should expect to see not just now but if he thinks no one is watching again in the future. Pay attention.

Dude’s complexion is like someone with early liver disease.

The DEPTH of the corruption. And the consequences?

ONLY MISSING IN THIS PICTURE IS FELLOW RAPIST LIAR IN CHIEF, DRAFT DODGER !! TRAITOR !!! TAX CHEAT !! KIDNAPPER. MURDERER !!!!!! BUT THE DARLING AND GOD OF GOP

What a nasty crook, he just doesn’t stop. Too much money so he thinks he can do whatever he wants to. Epstein needs to rot, he’s gotten away with tooant unlawful things for too long.
