Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein arrested and charged with sex trafficking

Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein has been charged with sex trafficking underage girls in New York and Florida, Fox News has learned.

Epstein, who a decade ago received a lenient plea deal after being accused of paying girls for sexual massages in Florida, is expected to appear in a New York court Monday.

The 66-year-old financier has long been plagued by allegations of sexual abuse against minors.

In 2008, Epstein was sentenced to 13 months in prison, required to settle with his then-teenage victims and register as a sex offender; He could have faced life in prison.

The new charges accused him of sex trafficking minors between 2002 and 2005 by paying them cash for massages and sexually abusing them in his New York apartment and his Palm Beach residence. Several of his associates allegedly recruited the girls and some victims became recruiters themselves, according to the Daily Beast.

Epstein -- who is friends with President Trump and former President Bill Clinton -- avoided federal criminal charges in 2007 and 2008 after agreeing to a plea deal in which he pleaded guilty to states charges of soliciting prostitution and served 13 months in a Florida county and registered as a sex offender.

The much-criticized deal allowed him to leave jail custody six days a week to work from his office.

Judge Denies Bail to Jeffrey Epstein, Says He?s a ?Danger? to Community
Updated 07.18.19 1:02PM ET

The financier asked for house arrest but will stay in jail until his sex-trafficking trial.

Jeffrey Epstein will not get to trade in his jail cell for his ?gilded cage.?

A federal judge in New York denied the financier bail on Thursday, ruling that the globe-trotting money man must stay locked up until his trial on sex-trafficking charges because he?s a flight risk and a ?danger? to the community.

The decision is a victory for prosecutors who argued that Epstein was too rich and the charges he faces too serious to let him return to the Manhattan mansion where he allegedly molested dozens of underage girls.

The proof they offered included a fake Austrian passport and dozens of small diamonds found in a safe, accusations of witness-tampering and suspiciously timed payments to alleged accomplices.

When Epstein offered to put up a $100 million bond, hire armed guards and a ?live-in? trustee, the feds scoffed that he was trying to build his own private prison?a ?gilded cage? from which he could easily take flight.

U.S. District Judge Richard Berman agreed, saying, ?I doubt that any bail package can overcome danger to the community.?

?The decision speaks to the seriousness of the crimes,? Berman said, adding that prosecutors established ?clear and convincing evidence? that Epstein could try to go on the lam.

He said his ruling also took into consideration testimony from two of Epstein?s accusers, Courtney Wild and Annie Farmer, who said they feared his release.

Epstein, who is being held at the federal Metropolitan Correctional Center, displayed no emotion as Berman issued his ruling from the bench. The judge will issue a more detailed written opinion later on Thursday.

With the bail issue settled, Epstein?s lawyers will likely focus their attention on trying to get the New York indictment thrown out by arguing it violates a sweetheart plea deal he cut with the feds in Florida in 2007.

He served just 13 months on two state prostitution charges back then, much of it on work release that he allegedly used for sexual hookups. After his release, he tried to fade into obscurity?a plan foiled by a Miami Herald investigation and ongoing litigation by his accusers.
