'It could have been stopped': One of Jeffrey Epstein’s first known accusers says police didn't take her groping complaint seriously and blew a chance to bring the financier to justice in 1997.
, his early brush with the law has been something of a mystery. After Arden’s 1997 complaint to Santa Monica police first came to light several years ago, the department said little about it and Epstein’s lawyers said only that police discounted her allegations.
“If the victim tells the detective they do not wish to prosecute, then the detective will close the case,” the statement said. “In this case, the victim advised the detective she did not wish to prosecute so there was no point in presenting it to the City Attorney for review.” “The fact that they didn’t do anything, and they discredited me, is just a stab to my heart,” Arden said.
But when she showed up, Epstein was not what she expected. Barefoot and clad in sweat pants and a red, white and blue USA T-shirt, he started criticizing her figure and asked her to come close to him so he could evaluate it, according to accounts she gave in interviews with the AP and in her police report.
