Law Current Event 6 View More Info >

            A group of women, who claim they have been to the mansion of Jeffrey Epstein in Palm Beach, Florida, are threatening to file civil lawsuits against him for solicitation of prostitution. Epstein has previously had sexual charges against him. Last year, he was charged with soliciting prostitution from girls as young as fourteen years old. He paid the underage girls to give him erotic massages, and then moved on to have sexual contact.  He claims to not have known the girls were underage. Epstein, a multimillionaire investor, has assembled a team of lawyers to fight these charges. They include Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz and Kenneth Starr. The lawyers are planning to settle all of the cases at once. They are currently negotiating a plea with prosecutors that will put him in jail for 18 months.

            I believe Epstein is guilty, because there is sufficient evidence and because he indirectly admitted to it. He should receive some kind of punishment that will prevent him from doing similar things in the future. However, I believe he will get away with his crimes because of he owns the largest house in Manhattan.
