Took long enough.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/06/us/jeffrey-epstein-arrest-sex-trafficking-indictment/index.html

quote:

Florida-based billionaire Jeffrey Epstein has been indicted on new charges related to alleged sex crimes involving minors, law enforcement sources told CNN on Saturday.

Epstein was arrested Saturday and is expected to appear in federal court in New York on Monday.
Epstein faces charges brought by US prosecutors in Manhattan, after previously evading similar charges when he secured a non-prosecution deal with federal prosecutors in Miami. The charges, contained in a sealed indictment, involve alleged sex trafficking crimes committed between 2002 and 2005, according to law enforcement sources. The indictment alleged that the crimes occurred in both New York and Palm Beach, Florida.
A team of federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York, along with some in the public corruption unit, have been assigned to the case.

A brief reminder that this child rapist was already convicted of raping children, and served thirteen months for child rape, during which he was allowed to come and go from jail as he pleased.

The saddest thing about all this is that the only reason he's been arrested is because of a Miami Herald article about him. We're seeing this a lot these days. R Kelly not being arrested until a documentary comes out. Michael Jackson's legacy not being questioned until a four-part miniseries comes out. Now this.

Will this finally be the time a billionaire has to pay for his actions?

Does anyone know what he was arrested for? I mean, I know it's for raping children. But wouldn't this be double jeopardy because he was already convicted of that? Sorry, I do not know your crazy US laws.

SCOTUS just ruled that state charges and federal charges are not double jeopardy. The New York charges are federal, whereas the original Florida charges in 2008 were state.

For those outside the US, a lot of our states still like to pretend they're their own mini-countries within the U.S. Which would be hilarious if you try to imagine Wyoming as it's own stupid country.

Even though this ruling is great for loving over shitheads like Manafort, Epstein, and eventually Trump, I have a feeling it's going to be one of those double-edge sword situations in a few years.

When did SCOTUS decide this? That's awesome. But odd that it took so long.

Also does this mean that he would be walking around free if NY state didn't decide to go after him? What finally got NY to go forward?

It could be a different instances of the same crime. I didn't read the article, so I apologize if it lays it out. Double jeopardy only applies to being prosecuted for the same crime twice. Violating the same law two different times is two separate crimes. You can be prosecuted for each of those crimes with no jeopardy involved.

I’m starting to get the impression that the fact that we have allowed people to become so insanely wealthy and powerful that they can rape children and get away with it makes any sexual arousal from it secondary than they can loving do this absolutely disgusting thing because of their status and that gets them off more than the raping children thing. Like what do they have after their mansion getting so big that they can’t even enjoy abusing the mountains of staff needed to maintain it?

From here:

Mr. Trump, in 2002, told New York Magazine that Mr. Epstein was a “terrific guy.”

“He’s a lot of fun to be with,” he said at the time. “It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

In 2008, Epstein was convicted of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution, for which he served 13 months in "custody with work release", which meant he was allowed to spend 16 hours a day outside of prison.[2]

And then banned him for life from mara largo when he learned that he had assaulted a 14 year old girl.

Also gave a statement to police upon epsteins first arrest after which the police commented that trump “could not have been more forthcoming”

yeah its better, epstein got sloppy seconds after trump in the court proceedings of one of the first public cases against epstein. lmao every billionaire is a pedo rapist

quote:

Defendant Trump initiated sexual contact with Plaintiff at four different parties. On the fourth and final sexual encounter with Defendant Trump, Defendant Trump tied Plaintiff to a bed, exposed himself to Plaintiff, and then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff. During the course of this savage sexual attack, Plaintiff loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop but with no effect. Defendant Trump responded to Plaintiff’s pleas by violently striking Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted. Exhs. A and B. 11.

Immediately following this rape, Defendant Trump threatened Plaintiff that, were she ever to reveal any of the details of the sexual and physical abuse of her by Defendant Trump, Plaintiff and her family would be physically harmed if not killed. Exhs. A and B. 12.

Defendant Epstein had sexual contact with Plaintiff at two of the parties. The second sexual encounter with Defendant Epstein took place after Plaintiff had been raped by Defendant Trump. Defendant Epstein forced himself upon Plaintiff and proceeded to rape her anally and vaginally despite her loud pleas to stop. Defendant Epstein then attempted to strike Plaintiff about the head with his closed fists while he angrily screamed at Plaintiff that he, Defendant Epstein, rather than Defendant Trump, should have been the one who took Plaintiff’s virginity, before Plaintiff finally managed to break away from Defendant Epstein
