BREAKING: Jeffrey Epstein denied bail in sex trafficking case.
Judge Richard Berman made the decision over the objections of defense attorneys who had argued that the wealthy financier as a “disciplined” defendant willing to pay a bond of $100 million or more.
Epstein, 66, has pleaded not guilty to charges of sexually exploiting and abusing dozens of minor girls. He faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted. The defense invoked Bernie Madoff, Enron’s Jeff Skilling and other high profile defendants who were granted bail, though none of them were accused of sex crimes involving minors which, by law, presumes the defendant will be remanded to pre-trial custody, the judge said.
