Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s  bail hearing was continued until Thursday after an indictment revealed he was facing charges for sex trafficking of minors. Geoffrey Berman, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York said (watch above) the indictment lays out new charges that “shock the conscience.” Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald reporter whose stories reignited the Epstein case writes:

According to court documents, Epstein would pay the girls hundreds of dollars in cash after the encounters, then, in what resembled a sexual pyramid scheme, he would allegedly pay them more to recruit other young girls to perform similar acts.

The indictment states that the victims often came from troubled backgrounds, making them vulnerable to Epstein’s entreaties.

And there may be new additional charges on the way. When FBI agents searched Epstein’s NYC mansion over the weekend, they reportedly turned up a large collection of child pornography.

Details from what FBI found inside Epstein’s $77 Million Manhattan mansion:
Extraordinary volume of photographs of nude underage girls

Hundreds perhaps thousands of sexually suggestive photographs of fully or partially nude females.

All this went into consideration as the U.S. attorney said Epstein was a flight risk and requested that bail be denied.

SDNY’s detention memo for Jeffrey Epstein, which argues against bail, says he owns homes in NYC (worth $77M), Palm Beach, New Mexico & Paris, and he owns a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. He has three U.S. passports, at least 15 vehicles and access to two private jets.

Meanwhile the SDNY has made it clear that, if there are other victims out there, they want them to come forward.

There is no comment on any of this from Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, who brokered the sweetheart deal Epstein received more than a decade ago.

Both Labor Department & Justice Department have declined to comment on Secretary Acosta's reaction to Epstein charges, given role he played in striking deal with his lawyers that allowed him to avoid federal charges. WH, which said it was reviewing it in March, isn't either.
