Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire pedophile and friend of Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, the son of the Queen of England and President Donald Trump, was arrested for sex-trafficking on Saturday. Epstein’s arrest was first reported by The Daily Beast.
The billionaire pedophile sex offender was arrested in New York for sex-trafficking, according to law enforcement officials. Epstein is expected to appear Monday in federal court.
In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting and procuring a person under age 18 for prostitution. The plea deal brought an end to an investigation that could have put Epstein in prison for life. Instead, he was sentenced to 13 months and under “work release” and was allowed to spend the majority of his “sentence” working from his office in Florida.
Bill Clinton, according to a Gawker report, took many trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet that has become known as the “Lolita Express.” Clinton was on more than a dozen flights “with a woman who federal prosecutors believe procured underage girls to sexually service Epstein and his friends and acted as a “potential co-conspirator” in his crimes.”
Trump said of Epstein in a New York magazine interview in 2002, “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with.” Trump added, “It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it – Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
There is no direct evidence, that either Clinton or Trump, both who have been accused of sex crimes themselves, were involved in the rape of children.
