NEW YORK - American financier Jeffrey Epstein pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges of sex trafficking as prosecutors accused him of luring dozens of girls as young as 14 to his luxury homes in New York and Florida and paying them for sex acts.
Wearing dark blue jail scrubs, Epstein entered his plea before U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry Pitman in Manhattan to one count of sex trafficking and one count of sex trafficking conspiracy. He faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted. Epstein has said in earlier court filings that his encounters with alleged victims were consensual and that he believed they were 18 when they occurred.on Saturday night at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, where he had returned on his private plane from Paris.
Demonstrators hold signs aloft protesting Jeffrey Epstein, as he awaits arraignment in the Southern District of New York on charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors, in New York, U.S., July 8, 2019.

Some of Epstein’s accusers have criticized that agreement as too lenient. Berman said he was not bound by it. Epstein paid girls to recruit new girls, to ensure a “steady supply of new victims to exploit” prosecutors said.
