Jeffrey Epstein, accused serial child molester, has been arrested in NYC: “Epstein, who has homes in Manhattan, Palm Beach, New Mexico, Paris and in the U.S. Virgin Islands, sexually abused nearly three dozen girls, mostly 13-16 years old, at his Palm Beach mansion from 1999 to 2006, according to investigators. He used the girls to help recruit other young girls as part of an operation that ran similar to a pyramid scheme. He also had recruiters who helped with his appointments, scheduling as many as three or four girls a day, the FBI probe found.” I hope this goes better than the botched prosecution in Florida by Alex Acosta, now a Trump cabinet secretary — and kudos to the Miami Herald for their outstanding investigative work on this (including this article).
