The latest turn in the long, lurid saga of Jeffrey Epstein comes more than a decade after a secretive plea deal enabled him to avoid similar charges in Florida.

On Monday, as federal prosecutors unsealed new charges saying Epstein ran a sex-trafficking ring that lured dozens of young women to the house, its heavy wood doors bore crowbar marks — evidence of how authorities forced their way in over the sultry Fourth of July weekend. Prosecutors say they discovered hundreds, possibly thousands of suggestive photographs, including those of what appeared to be underage girls.
United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey Berman speaks during a New York news conference about the arrest of financier Jeffrey Epstein. He also has properties in New Mexico, Paris and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he has a private island, and a Palm Beach estate with an assessed value of more than $12 million. He shuttles between them by private jet and has at least 15 cars, including seven Chevrolet Suburbans, according to federal authorities.
Since the 1990s, the company has been incorporated in the U.S. Virgin Islands and is now called Financial Trust Co. A person answering the phone at the St. Thomas company hung up after a request for comment was made. There are no New York property records documenting a transfer until 2011, when the company that Wexner used to purchase the townhouse transferred it to Epstein’s Virgin Islands-based Maple Inc. for $0. Epstein signed for both sides of the transaction.
