NEW YORK - Jeffrey Epstein, the American financier charged with sex trafficking underage girls, is expected to argue in court on Monday that he should be freed from jail and allowed to await trial under house arrest at his Manhattan mansion.
Epstein, who was once known for socializing with politicians and royalty, is accused of arranging for girls under the age of 18 to perform nude"massages" and other sex acts, and of paying some girls to recruit others, from at least 2002 to 2005. Epstein, his lawyers said in a court filing last week, had a"spotless 14-year record of walking the straight and narrow" since he pleaded guilty to similar offenses in Florida, and had shown"perfect compliance with onerous sex offender registration requirements."
When Epstein was charged in Florida, he reached a deal to avoid federal prosecution by pleading guilty to a state prostitution charge and registering as a sex offender. He served 13 months in a county jail, but was allowed to leave during the day to go to his office.
