Multimillionaire financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was arrested Saturday on at least one charge related to sex trafficking.
Epstein was taken into federal custody when his plane landed after an international flight Saturday, a law enforcement source tells NPR.
Other media outlets report more specifically that Epstein was arrested in the New York area and charged with sex trafficking relating to incidents from the early 2000s.
Epstein, 66, is reportedly expected to appear in federal court in New York on Monday.
A lawyer for Epstein did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Under a controversial plea deal reached in 2007 with Alex Acosta, who was the U.S. attorney in Miami at the time, Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to Florida state charges of soliciting prostitution and avoided more serious federal charges relating to allegations of molesting dozens of young girls.
Acosta is now secretary of labor in the Trump administration. A federal judge ruled this year that the plea deal was illegally concealed from Epstein's alleged victims.
The Miami Herald published an investigation last year of the reported collaboration between federal prosecutors and Epstein's lawyers.
Epstein "essentially came up with this sex operation where he would recruit girls — underage girls in Palm Beach — have them come to his home for a massage," Miami Herald reporter Julie Brown told NPR in February. "Ostensibly that's what they were being asked to do, but he molested them. And authorities suspect that he molested hundreds of girls over a five- or six-year period in Palm Beach alone and possibly operated an international sex-trafficking organization around the world."
But under the agreement over a decade ago, Epstein avoided serious time behind bars. He served 13 months in county jail and registered as a sex offender. He was granted work release and spent most days at his office in Palm Beach.
U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra in the Southern District of Florida is now deciding whether that nonprosecution agreement should still stand.
The new charges are in a sealed indictment, according to CBS Miami. They "involve alleged sex trafficking crimes committed between 2002 and 2005, according to law enforcement sources. The indictment alleged that the crimes occurred in both New York and Palm Beach, Florida."
The station says Epstein is charged with one count of sex trafficking and one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and will appear for a bond hearing Monday.

Re: Epstein Arrested
I would caution our enthusiasm...
There is almost nothing more heartbreaking than the US legal system
1) He's got unlimited resources
2) unless they've got DNA evidence this will be difficult
3) any mistake by prosecution nulls the whole damned thing
I'm not confident in our system - no matter how obviously guilty he is

Epstein Arrested
He needs to be taken to an outside not overly clean area, laid down, have some meat cutters open his stomach, remove his intestines and other parts, lay them down beside him, and let this scumbag watch himself die.

Re: Epstein Arrested
Trump, or one of this managers, had Epstein kicked out of Mar-A-Lago due to him hitting on a young girl.kalm wrote:Isn't Epstein both Clinton's and Trump's underage pimp?
I to think this will be interesting, especially since Comey's daughter is one who is prosecuting.

Re: Epstein Arrested
Well there are a ton of documented ties to Trump, from creepy magazine quotes by Trump to actual accusations, lawsuits, and affidavits tying Trump/Epstein.SeattleGriz wrote:He will spend his whole time trying to tie this to Trump.Ivytalk wrote:Jelly has himself a new megathread!
And you know, Trump's Secretary of Labor (Acosta) is the one who entered the secretive, non-prosecution agreement with Epstein.
Trump is also listed as a witness for this case...

Re: Epstein Arrested
You've only got mainstream media again. Didn't you learn last time about using Rachel Maddow as your source? Watch 90 seconds of this video with the prosecutor in the 2009 Epstein case and what he says about Trump. I've got it cued up at the 5 minute mark.∞∞∞ wrote:Well there are a ton of documented ties to Trump, from creepy magazine quotes by Trump to actual accusations, lawsuits, and affidavits tying Trump/Epstein.SeattleGriz wrote:

Re: Epstein Arrested
I know what he said in 2009. Guilty until innocent ( ), but you can commit crimes earlier and have a change of heart or cooperate to protect yourself. But he's definitely said creepy stuff (following from 2002):
Also 2016 lawsuit (which was dropped):
https://www.scribd.com/doc/316341058/Do ... Affidavits
Saying he doesn't have ties with Epstein though is disengenious. What extent? Not sure.
The fact that he's a witness for this case does show ties though.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl ... 31891.html
http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/n_7912/And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “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. No doubt about it – Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
