NEW YORK - American financier Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday asked a federal judge to let him out of jail and allow him to remain under house arrest as he awaits trial on charges of sex trafficking underage girls.
New York-based federal prosecutors said at a court hearing on Monday that they will oppose Epstein’s release on bail, saying he poses an “extraordinary risk of flight” because of his wealth, private planes and significant international ties. They are due to respond to Epstein’s motion by Friday evening.
According to an indictment, Epstein arranged for girls to perform nude “massages” and other sex acts, and paid some girls to recruit others, from at least 2002 to 2005. Prosecutors said he intentionally sought out girls under the age of 18.
