Reupped from the last thread.
There is no statute of limitation on child sex trafficking.
Prosecutors got evidence Epstein committed more crimes. FBI investigated, and found, yup, there’s more crimes - and more people involved.

The plea deal in FL was a cover-up, and this is a new batch of crimes, committed in both FL and NY. The search warrant in NY uncovered 1000s of photos of underage children.
Prosecutors and investigators have found new crimes by the sex predator Epstein, and it could involve other associates as per the indictment.
Of course his lawyers are claiming this is a witch hunt or a do-over for the earlier sweetheart deal made by Acosta. His lawyers are paid to say that kind of thing.
But the reality is that bad people often do the same crimes time and again (hence habitual offenders, 3 strikes rules, etc.). Epstein was a sex predator who got a deal with prosecutors because he’s rich and powerful. He’s again under indictment for child sex trafficking, and prosecutors have no reason to cut a deal here. The mandatory minimums are 10-15 years per charge, and I think as they continue investigating, additional charges/counts will be filed.
I’m also expecting other people to get named soon.
