Prosecutors Allege Jeffrey Epstein Operated Sex Trafficking Ring With Girls as Young as 14
“Epstein intentionally sought out minors and knew that many of his victims were in fact under the age of 18.”
Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein will appear in a New York City federal court on Monday morning after prosecutors indicted him on sex trafficking conspiracy and one count of sex trafficking with underage females.
The indictment came out this morning, which alleges Epstein trafficked girls as young as 14-years-old.
From Fox News:
“The victims described herein were as young as 14 years old at the time they were abused…and were, for various reasons, often particularly vulnerable to exploitation,” prosecutors wrote in court documents. “Epstein intentionally sought out minors and knew that many of his victims were in fact under the age of 18.”
Epstein allegedly created and maintained a network and operation from 2002 “up to and including” at least 2005 that enabled him to “sexually exploit and abuse dozens of underage girls” in addition to paying victims to recruit other underage girls.
Prosecutors also allege Epstein “worked and conspired with others, including employees and associates” who helped facilitate his conduct by contacting victims and scheduling their sexual encounters with the 66-year-old at his mansion in New York City and Palm, Beach, Fla.
The federal prosecutors wrote in the indictment they want Epstein to forfeit any of his property he “used to commit or facilitate” the crimes, specifically his Upper East Side home.
This is not the first time Epstein has faced charges of sex trafficking. Epstein became a registered sex offender in 2008 after then-US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Alexander Acosta, now our Secretary of Labor, offered him a sweetheart deal after a federal investigation revealed he operated a sex trafficking ring with underage girls.
Acosta allowed Epstein to plead “to two state prostitution charges, ultimately serving only 13 months and avoiding a federal trial,” and register as a sex offender while paying “restitution to the victims identified by the FBI.”
Epstein had a close relationship with Prince Andrew. One underage victim claimed the prince “had sexual encounters with her at Epstein’s behest.”
President Bill Clinton enjoyed a close relationship with Epstein as well. Documents show he flew on Epstein’s private jet the Lolita Express numerous times. From Gawker:
In 2002, as New York has reported, Clinton recruited Epstein to make his plane available for a week-long anti-poverty and anti-AIDS tour of Africa with Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, billionaire creep Ron Burkle, Clinton confidant Gayle Smith (who now serves on Barack Obama’s National Security Council), and others. The logs from that trip show that Maxwell, Kellen, and a woman named Chauntae Davis joined the entourage for five days.
That last name—Chauntae Davies—shows up elsewhere in papers unearthed by the various investigations into Epstein’s sex ring: his little black book. Davies is one of 27 women listed in the book under an entry for “Massage- California,” one of six lists of massage girls Epstein kept in various locales, with a total of 160 names around the globe, many of them underage victims.
The media has tried to tie Epstein to President Donald Trump. One document showed Trump flew on the jet at least once. However, Bradley Edwards, the lawyer for some of Epstein’s accusers, wrote in court documents that Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago “because Epstein sexually assaulted an underage girl at the club.”

Wonder if the NY AG office will show as much interest in the prosecuting the Clinton contingency involved in this case as they do for prosecuting Manafort?
Damn, why did I even bother to ask.
Do you do standup comedy or just social media comedy? LOL!
Depends on whether the audience pelts me with free range hormone free organic eggs or not.
That crook Comey’s daughter is the prosecuting attorney!
What could go wrong??
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/comeys-daughter-named-to-epstein-prosecution-team
I imagine Comey’s daughter will see to it they get the same whitewash her Dad provided.
Their time is taken up with making up charges against th e President that, although nothing but more lies, will convince a stacked communist democrat brand Judy that he could have maybe been guilty of something under different circumstances!!!
There’s been a lot of liberal blather about Trump being friends with Epstein, but they never mention how he was nearly the only one to work with the prosecution to get the creep locked up. Also, there’s a lot of ‘Clinton frequently rode the Lolita Express’ blather from conservatives, but no exact numbers as to how many of those were ‘Dude can I borrow your jet to go on a global anti-poverty/anti-AIDS trip’ instead of going to visit his little island.
What a mess.
26 trips on the Lolita Express and ole BJ didn’t even get a Lewinsky???
I’m waiting for BJ Clinton to start appearing in these Peyronie’s Disease adds that we have to suffer on prime time TV these days.
Switch to streaming, few commercials and better content.
Freak-a-zoid activists to demand Epstein’s acquittal because ‘he was borned that way’ in 4, 3, 2, …
Maintaining an extensive collection of CD’s of under-aged nudes is apparently a violation of his Probation.
Wonder why nothing about the parents of these alleged victims who let their underage daughters go on excursions with Epstein?
They may not have parents. That’s one of the core vulnerabilities to getting pulled into that sort of thing.
That’s the cliche’, but I doubt they all were orphans
What makes you think any one or all participated with parent’s permission? Teens run away or lie about their whereabouts all the time. Broken homes where parents aren’t around for a day here and a week there aren’t so rare lately either.
For all we know, Epstein paid very well. All this activity may have been profitable for all involved, “victims” and their guardians as well as perps. But that’s irrelevant if the girls were underage; then it’s a criminal matter, whatever the financial benefits.
I was awakened one night to take care of a friend of my son. Neither of the friend’s parents were home. He’d had a skateboarding accident, and had some impressive road burn. I called his mom, who was 2 hours away, patched him up, and sent him home because I was afraid she’d come home and be unable to find him.
That woman did not show up until after noon the next day.
People respond strangely to divorce, and sometimes they let their children fall completely through the cracks. This was an extraordinarily bright, well-behaved, naturally co-operative child. Had he been the least bit difficult, he’d have been on the street or in jail.
Even worse, they use their children as weapons. Adults should be smart enough to understand that they should not drag kids into adult fights.
This is starting to resemble the “DC Madam” dustup from a decade ago in 2007. Deborah Jeanne Palfrey allegedly ran a prostitution ring in Washington DC and supposedly had several powerful politicians as clients. She also reportedly kept a diary naming these politicians.
But in all of the breathless reporting on this scandal only one big name came out: Republican Senator David Vitter. Then the entire fiasco suddenly vanished down the MSM/DNC axis memory hole (Vitter went on to win re-election anyway, perhaps reflecting voters’ contempt for the news media rather endorsement of Vitter’s, ahem, extracurricular activities). Palfrey herself died suddenly in 2008 (ruled a suicide, although there is some dispute), and her diary which was supposed to have incriminating evidence seems to have vanished. Weirdly, ABC (the organization the broke the original story) suddenly announced they would release no more names of Palfrey’s clients.
Either Vitter was the DC Madam’s sole major client (unlikely), or there were also big Democrat names on the list that ABC and others wanted to keep concealed. I think prosecutors and journalists decided to strangle the story before it hurt the Democrats’ campaign to capture the White House in 2008.
I think something similar will happen here. The MSM/DNC axis already published the headlines they wanted (Trump is a friend of Epstein) and will now disappear the story to avoid implicating the Clintons. This is classic hit-and-run journalism like the DC Madam case.
This is an unfortunate habit of the Democrats and the Washington Post.
There’s a reason why the #metoo movement happened. The Democrats protect wrongdoing by their donors and politicians, especially sexual misconduct. The Republicans tend to clean house. Both sides know this.
And that is how we had Hillary Clinton and the Democrats saying that Bill Clinton’s known sexual escapades were not relevant to his performance in office, followed by Hillary Clinton’s claim that Donald Trump was disqualified from the Presidency because he got caught on tape telling a funny story about his inability to prevail upon the virtue of a married woman, and a few incisive comments about what he observed at Studio 54.
Some ladies remember how Hillary and the Democrats bullied the many women that had something to say about Bill Clinton’s sometimes-forceful sense of entitlement. Some ladies also remember how the Democrats put out the word that all of this happened because Bill Clinton was just charismatic that he could get anything he wanted.
The #metoo movement happened because the Democrats are long overdue for a house-cleaning, and the detritus has piled up.
One one of the things I would comment on was of the simple things. Like knitting. Or bombing.. Or identifying a field of fire and turning my Tomcat over and diving on it. I’m USN. The USN declared us worthy when they said of the Satterlee of Normandy fame “nice shooting. Stick around.” goyim
If Israel ever needs a force of goyim. I’m your man.
Huh?
I apologize. I wasn’t exactly clear, I want to visit hell down on everyone who has given whatever to me and my dad served and my grand dad died in the cutters Mendotand Cherokee. That’s not nothing.
Let me be more clear.
Memndota and Cherokee. JFC. Can I get anything right?
I believe the Satterlee was named after CAPT C. Satterlee, USCG, who was CO of the USCGC Tampa when it was lost to a U-Boat with all hands in WWI. amirite?
“One document showed Trump flew on the jet at least once.”
Reporters are being cute with this reporting it in subtly different context. I saw one earlier this morning expressing this tidbit as “Trump has occasionally flown on Epstein’s jet” when in fact, it was only twice.
It’s like what they are doing with that innocuous quote: “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
So what? Who was he speaking to and what was the reason he was asked? Trump calls everyone terrific. He’s like Merv Griffin that way.
Trump was already questioned about this relationship in 2009 and was cleared so wasn’t subjected to deposition. It doesn’t hurt his case that he banished Epstein from Mar Lago when he caught him hitting up on a minor girl.
Once again making something out of nothing. I hope Hillary gets asked about this the next time she pops out of her hole.
I glanced at an article trying to make hay of that “link” between them. Last I checked, much of the global male population is interested in younger women. This case does not involve younger “women”, it addresses teenage girls under the legal age of consent. They can imply what they want, but if the best they have is that Trump is also interested in women younger than he is, that’s pretty thin…
Sorry, the case certainly does address girls/ women over 18. I was just focused on the implication journalists are creating that Trump is interested in teenagers “too” based on that quote, and that’s not a fair reading.
Agreed. That is mainly what I was planning on saying before I wrote my first comment and I left it out.
Everyone’s been warned for months now that this and other dirt is coming out so I believe the libs are organized and have already started rolling out their plan. James Comey’s daughter is the best prosecutor they could find? Shouldn’t she recuse herself since she personally knows most, if not all, of Epstein’s people?
The stink is already unbearable. They know they can’t suppress the liberal johns in this so they are going to redirect to Trump, run a massive hit campaign to distract everyone from the hearings, and then hope it goes away.
It’s obvious to the most casual observer that the reason the SDNY went after Epstein was to get Trump. They must be really desperate because that’s just not going to work.
It worked last time. Same exact M.O. Deflect to protect.

And that was with the Republicans (GWB) conducting a rigged investigation and settling with a sweetheart deal that lowered the case to a single charge of soliciting an underage prostitute.
Yeah, when the media goes after Epstein and Clinton like the did Kraft, I’ll start paying attention…
If you want to REALLY see how the reporting on this story has changed over time….do this….
Go to U-Tube…search for Jeffrey Epstein…
The videos are posted chronologically. The recent videos all play up the Epstein/Trump connection… They also mention Bill Clinton but it’s almost in passing….
The older the video….the more they talk about the Epstein/Clinton connection and Trump is mentioned in passing.
And the oldest videos….don’t mention Pres. Trump at all !
Gosh…I wonder why ?????
First of all, this is merely a continuation of the “Get Trump” program that was in play during the Mueller investigation. Why is this happening now?
Epstein is an equal opportunity panderer. He was “friends” with many influential politicians, both Democrat and Republican. And, I’m sure that he will be offered another sweetheart deal if he will “roll over” on Trump, or others in the Trump administration. Remember, it was SDNY which handled the Cohen case and buried the Weiner laptop, until the NYPD leaked its existence. It is a sign of their desperation that they would put Bill Clinton at risk to get Trump to back off on the BARR/Durham investigations.
Nothing happens in a vacuum
I’ve been led to believe that NYPD has a vice squad, so why the feds ?
Comey’s daughter in on the case
So what has changed? This guy has been utterly untouchable but today he is locked up, likely to spend the rest of his life locked up (unless Comeys daughter can deliberately fuck up the prosecution???).
AG Barr promised Senator Sasse that he would have the entire case reviewed, including the manner in which the DOJ handled the first one.
His picture needs to be placed in the dictionary next to the word “Creep”. Maybe he can share a cell with Michael Avenatti.
I’m curious how double jeopardy plays in this? If he pled, doesn’t that basically count as being “tried” on the old charges? What would be the point of a plea deal, otherwise?
Are these charges on a different matter (evidence of a crime they didn’t have before)? Are they new charges because the first time was corrupted somehow?
There was some whatif talk before, but now that he’s actually been arrested, how is that handled?
Starting to get interesting. Keep your eyes open for additional charges. Apparently when they arrested him, they also executed a search warrant, and it appears that they found a large trove of what appears to be kiddie porn well indexed on both DVDs and paper.
Keep in mind that Epstein is a registered sex offender, who appears to be in possession of a large quantity of sexually revealing pictures of underage females – which he presumably either made originally, or had made, of the girls he was providing his “friends”. No statute of limitations problem because as a registered sex offender, there are no exceptions. His attorneys, when getting his sweetheart deal, should have made it explicit – no kiddie porn.
There have been rumors that he has been singing like a bird, implicating everyone he has met, trying desperately to keep from spending the rest of his life behind bars. Oh and the feds are suppose to be trying to seize his mansion penthouse, etc, as fruits of his crimes.
Should be interesting.
Not defending Epstein, but I would not trust anything that the FBI or SDNY finds. Considering how corrupt they have been over Trump and fabricating things, everything is suspect now.
Just out.

Nobody seems to know what his being a so-called “hedge fund” manager entailed. He is clearly a dark and mysterious character. And now THIS. If true, this should be the biggest case for the DOJ immediately.
I made a feeble So feeble at making a glib comment so glib it must not be repeated.

Discuss among yourselves
What you need to do if you plan to sink a loved one.
Put a hole in the coffin. Coffins are relatively water tight. Then put a weight into it so it will sink.
Most people don’t think abo8t these things.
Im not kidding,you wouldn’t believe how many 25mm rounds it takes t sink a coffin.

Sources saying Barr won’t recuse himself from the Epstein case.
He said in his confirmation hearing .. “Senator, I have to recuse myself from Kirkland & Ellis matters, I am told”
Apparently, he was not at K&E when Epstein was a client, so …
