Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier and registered sex offender with a circle of rich and powerful friends, has been charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy, according to a federal indictment unsealed Monday.
Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York allege that from about 2002 to 2005, Epstein, now 66, “sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his homes in Manhattan, New York, and Palm Beach, Florida, among other locations,” using cash payments to recruit a “vast network of underage victims,” some of whom were as young as 14 years old.
Epstein “worked and conspired with others, including employees and associates who facilitated his conduct by, among other things, contacting victims and scheduling their sexual encounters with Epstein,” the indictment said. More than a decade ago, Epstein served just 13 months in jail after reaching a much-criticized plea deal that not only allowed him to plead guilty to two state charges and avoid federal charges for an allegedly broad pattern of similar conduct, but also provided him and his alleged co-conspirators with immunity from further prosecution in the Southern District of Florida.
With Epstein’s sudden arrest over the weekend, however, an investigation long believed to be dormant has been thrust back into the headlines.
Know what Mr. Schumer, it's hard to understand how you demos can jump on everybody's law breaking or criminal acts and sit by while Donald Trump obstructs justice by defying every law he approached with, abuses his powers, if laws don't apply to him , why anyone else.
Why don't you try serving your constituency, DumbAxx! Ur not helping abc fake news reporters..
Have to agree with Schumer on this one. Epstein is a predator and should NOT be given a lenient sentence. These are 'innocents' we are talking about. And I could give a 'rat's behind ' as to how much this gentleman is worth!! His MONIES should go to their rehabilitation.
SenSchumer was in office during the prosecution and said NOTHING
Really! And who was in charge at the time Mueller and Obama..something stinks!😵
That's lovely that he and pelosi are only doing what's right, but doesn't it take more than just calls to remove corrupt appointees?
The Trump administration hasn't got a health plan to replace obama care! While there trying to destroy Pre-existing conditions for the American people! Just to help the super rich, whom want to keep more of there money, and pay little Tax's like the Koch Brothers!
I cant wait until info about Clinton, the Clinton Foundations use of Epstein's Private jet and other Democrats are found associated with Epstein. I bet they are already trying to bury any connections to democrats as we speak.
Sadly they knew this before he got the position. He won’t resign and trump won’t fire him. They don’t care.
Chuck knew this guy along with the Clintons!
Let’s fire all of the predators. That would remove most of the Democrats from government.
Sen Schumer should resign for blocking fix of laws to prevent serial sex trafficking at our southern boarder! 50% of children crossing with a adult male that is non related!
The left has protected Clinton for decades! Keith Ellington?
Stop your speeches, start your actions. You were elected to change things, not to express in speeches that you wish things could be different.
Shouldn't this have been brought up right after decision came out ten years ago.seems both sides dropped the ball again.
Alex Acosta... you're fired!
This photo of an inappropriate pose with his own now laughable 'diplomat' own daughter plus accusations of illegal underage female 'interaction' is why Trump doesn't.
More federalfail
Jeffrey Epstein is a major Democrat donor. The whole Democrat Party should resign from office for taking his money.
Interesting that Donald Trump praises his cabinet member but then Trump loves people who molest and even murder children

Wasnt that 10 years ago? Are you pretending you didnt know this? Didnt think to call for this sooner?
Great tactical play by Chuck.... demand that POTUS fires Acosta. Which will make Trump dig his heels in, refuse, and drag the story on for several weeks.
Fired him and then, put him in jail, for not doing he's job!
The entire White House staff should also resign but that is never gonna happen
Tread lightly libs. Epstein is a major source of funding for your failed ideology.
Yes, because of him he got lighter sentence
We agree he is a crook.
What about the judge that approved it?
I think Democrats had better tread lightly with their attacks on being associated with Epstein. Have this feeling a number of prominent Dems are going to be found in that grouping. JS.
They scared. They are all implicated
I wonder how much Epstein gave chuckschumer in campaign donations?
And why does the PBPD give him walk down the street from his private cell to work everyday deal?
Off so easy that SecretaryAcosta left a loophole to prosecute him in the future? Seems dems are pretty mad about this.
Why aren't you seeking Trump's resignation, good grief!
to be honest we should fire trump bc he is also a pervert and a closest friend of epstein!
Chuck’s financials were in possession of the NXVIM sex cult. He should also resign.
The house could be working on impeachment too.
While declining to discuss origins of current game of clue into wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein, U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman says, 'We were assisted from some excellent investigative journalism.'
but can trump use his magic pardon wand?
jkbjournalist great job! MiamiHerald
Thank you to journalists. First they came for the journalists. We don’t know what happened next.
At least somebody is doing their job anyway.

Yes, a conservative journalist Cernovich
NatashaBertrand Thank you to Pulitzer Prize Miami Herald for being dogged and not afraid.
NatashaBertrand Let’s hear it for our intrepid “excellent investigative journalists”!!!
PLEASE get his enablers. It’s SO important they get rooted-out for justice to be properly served ⚖️
RobElgasABC7 Why is no one giving Mike Cernovich the credit he's due? Cernovich is the one who did the heavy lifting of deep investigative journalism, filed the law suit, etc., while MSM were spoon fed what is and isn't news.
Too bad some of these excellant investigative journalist have not exposed Hillary & her illegal activities!
PLEASE get his enablers. It’s SO important they get rooted-out for justice to be properly served ⚖️
DouxDux Yes now if cnn foxnewsalert MSNBC NPR and all you other big kids - nbc cbs et al. - could take a cue from the MiamiHerald perhaps our country would be having better infrastructure weeks.
Hahaha - when the prosecuting attorney gives credibility to news outlets : 1- you know it all can be proven 2- Trump should be ahitting his adult diapers
Meaning NOT corporate media.
you meant to write: convicted pedophile and wealthy financier, don't you?
NatashaBertrand Trump is right, the press is the enemy but it's the enemy of injustice and propaganda which terrifies the right. Kudos to MiamiHerald for excellence in journalism!
Epstein is a flight risk!! NoBond
The same Jeffrey Epstein that the Clinton's and a ton of other Democrats we're friends with. He was a billionaire Democrat who raised lots of money.
Let’s not forget the high-profile men implicated in the Epstein trafficking ring: Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew, to start. Especially considering Andrew was named by a victim years ago.
Did he share with Trump?
TheView Hes a criminal.. and so is Acosta!
F*cking finally!
Burn in hell goof
Sick🤮🤮🤮
About time...
ABC lets call it was it really is. Child sex trafficking ring that is a global network.

Haha. NOT at these !
Yet another example of another white mans downfall who thought he was at the top of the world lol 😂😂😂😂 ...fall nigga fall 😂
As this story developes we will see MAGER Dems involved
Media patting themselves on the back over reporting today what was revealed years ago by people who were deplatformed & unpersoned as 'crazy'
A shrieking tweet of 'FAKE NEWS!!!' will be seen shortly.
The rich white man was a Pimp. Now it's time to go after his protectors.
I hope he rolls on 45.
So Thankful for all the investigative Journalist !
Free press is CRUCIAL to democracy! MiamiHerald thank you for not allowing Epstein’s crimes to be shoved under a rug!
Bye bye

Actually it's child trafficking. Sex trafficking isn't the issue. Coorende'? nxivm was guilty of child trafficking. epsteinisland
I hope he snitched and bring everybody with him.

BelieveMen HimToo
TheView If this is true, I hope he goes to prison and has the worst sexual time of his life, until his demise. The lives of children will forever be changed do to sexual assault. Victims should be able to sue their attackers for future therapy bills.
I don’t care what party but whoever was involved should go to jail if the religious right then defends anybody then we know that their Christianity is for sale
Spirit wants us to REJOICE when another bad guy goes down... rejoice.. we are unearthing the underbelly of America... this is why Trump is president.. this is to help clean up American politics.. its Karmic and orchestrated by the Universe.
He will probably end up killing himself
Several of Trump’s Friends are Criminals, is he the only Innocent White Dove?
Trump banned him from Mar-A-Lago. Epstein is good buddies with the Clintons, tho 👍
Any co-defendants unsealed yet?
TheView Wouldn’t this be poetic justice if they go really deep in it and lock up that scum Alan Dershowitz
Young Star aka troitorain is this man LGBTVQIA(P)edophelia? I hope he plays that card
I was one, I KNOW. In certain States they'll cut off opportunities through gossip and blame foster kids for bad mothers who come from important families and who's relatives work for the county. There's lots of coving up with paperwork & there needs to be oversight & regulations.
Take his money...give it to victims of sexual violence. F%! This guy!
Sex trafficking is one of the most despicable things that occurs far too often. You are stealing someone’s life and childhood. He should be locked away forever. Disgusting.
TRUTH HEY MEDIA, DO YOU THINK THIS TIME AROUND, YOU MIGHT WANT TO GIVE EPSTEIN PERVERT & HIS PERV FRIENDS LIKE TRUMP, THE EXTENSIVE COVERAGE THEY SO WELL DESERVE & WHICH YOU FAILED TO DO SO MISERABLY IN THE PAST... JUST CURIOUS
The walls for this guy is already paid for... thank you tax payers prison mag
TheView He’s not Mexican nor poor so he’ll be fine.
🤦♂️ I put out a life improvement video because most streamers never talk about Fitness I hope you will enjoy, benefit from and share the video Teamwork makes everyone grow faster Motivation Teamwork RollOut RollOut2019
Declass baby!
pizzagateisreal
illegal immigrants? that's what happens to them young girls around the border and it's very odd that we have politician's who don't mention that, they should talk more about that. Instead they ask you to boycott a bed company?
Relax everybody he has enough money to get out of it as long as the government gets there fair share he is an upstanding citizen to them don’t worry about the innocent victims in the end it’s money
'Wealthy financier' should be changed to 'global imperialist banking cabal backed blackmail creator'
Lock him up
Thanos finally going to jail. Good riddance.
Hope He Burn in Hell 🙏🔥
Has to get death penalty then
TheView JeffreyEpstein is just another billionaire who gets away with cult-like behavior. I'm always hearing stories of billionaires either sexually assaulting children or eating people. They don't see people as people. It's like ordering grubhub to them.
TheView Please ask Michelle Obama if SHE would GO LOW IF HER CHILDREN were in those CAGES....!!! ...you know, THIS is why Trump's poll numbers are NOT zero! ...academics are hypocrites! Through and through....
Dirty Old Man!
Conspiracy with whom?
Love the fact ex-FBI director James Comey daughter is one of the prosecutors..
I hope he talks about his beloved friend trash trump to what they did together to young girls!
TheView retweets but won't definitely post video that they are covering this in their Hot Topics segment... What a farce of a show. Hey rid of hot topics if they're just fluff pieces and propaganda. The View LIES & covers on behalf of the DNC. Dead show! 2.8/10 IMDb Boycott
Federal indictment means his good friend trump can pardon him!
1. JeffreyEpstein arrest means the powerful no longer get away with sex trafficking of underage kids. Not always the case. In mid-70s the NYPD and NYDA investigated Mafia-tied prostitution ring involving underage boys until shut down by 'top brass.'
Anybody who touches/abuses kids needs to be locked up, tattooed and let prisoners do God’s work
The sex trafficking we knew, but the conspiracy charge is veeeery interesting... 👍
Let the chips fall
Hope competition unless it can display a situation that becomes material mind that is not far from the news
