Jeffrey Epstein’s lust for young girls appears ‘uncontrollable,’ judge says in denying bail to accused sex trafficker
- A federal judge denied bail to wealthy investor Jeffrey Epstein, citing the potential danger he poses to the public and the risk that Epstein will flee to avoid prosecution for child sex trafficking charges.
- Epstein, 66, was asking a judge to release him on a bond of as high as $100 million or more, with conditions that would include requiring him to remain in his New York City mansion, with round-the-clock security monitoring and an electronic trafficking device.
- Epstein, a former friend of Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, was arrested July 6 after a federal grand jury indicted him on a charge of sex trafficking, and one count of conspiring to commit sex trafficking.
