The politically connected Florida financier was arrested Saturday as he returned from Europe, the sources said. He’s accused of sexually assaulting teenage girls as young as 14 years old.
A law enforcement official said Epstein would be charged with trafficking and conspiracy to traffic minors for sex. Prosecutors are likely to argue that he is a flight risk and should remain in jail instead of being released on bail pending trial, the Associated Press reported.
Investigators went in and out of Epstein’s Upper East Side townhouse on Sunday morning. Neighbors and passersby expressed disgust at the alleged crimes.
