A federal judge denied bail for Jeffrey Epstein on sex trafficking charges involving underage girls. Prosecutors fear he also might try to influence a growing number of witnesses who support charges that he abused dozens in the early 2000s
NEW YORK — A judge denied bail Thursday for jailed financier Jeffrey Epstein on sex trafficking charges after prosecutors argued the jet-setting defendant is a danger to the public and might flee the country.
At a hearing Monday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Alex Rossmiller said the government’s case against Epstein is “getting stronger every single day” as more women contact authorities to say he sexually abused them when they were minors. Prior to Thursday’s bail hearing, defense lawyers told the judge Epstein was given the passport by a friend after some Jewish-Americans were informally advised to carry identification bearing a non-Jewish name when traveling internationally during a period when hijackings were more common.“He is a life-long American citizen. He has no other citizenship or legal permanent residency,” the lawyers wrote.
