Financier Jeffrey Epstein, a registered sex offender, was arrested on Saturday for alleged sex trafficking of minor girls in Florida and New York, multiple sources tell ABC News.Sources tell ABC News that Epstein was taken into custody Saturday at Teterboro Airport in Bergen County, New Jersey, in an undercover operation.
The indictment against Epstein remains under seal until a hearing in federal court in Manhattan scheduled for Monday, the sources say.Martin Weinberg, an attorney for Epstein, declined to comment when reached by email on Sunday. The deal with Epstein was negotiated and approved by Alexander Acosta, then the United States attorney in Miami, who now serves in President Donald Trump's cabinet as the secretary of labor.
As a condition of the deal with federal authorities, Epstein ultimately pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting and procuring a person under age 18 for prostitution, but served just 13 months of an 18-month sentence in a private wing of a county jail. He was also granted liberal work-release privileges that allowed him to spend up to 16 hours a day at his office.
"Finally!" she said of the arrest."Knowing he's off the streets and so many girls who would be in danger are now safe makes me so happy." "I'm so relieved to know that he's behind bars," Licata, who spoke to authorities during the initial police investigation, told ABC News."That's exactly where he needs to be."
NY State want a double trial on everyone who passes threw.
