Fresh on the heels of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and amidst the #MeToo movement the scandal spawned, the story of financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is in the headlines again.

Epstein is a former hedge fund manager who made billions of dollars on Wall Street in the 1980s and 1990s. He owns six homes across the globe, including one on his own private island in the Caribbean. Epstein is accused of procuring underage girls to perform sexual acts with him and his guests. In fact, Epstein’s reputation was so widespread that the private Boeing 727 jet he used to fly guests to and from his residences was known as the “Lolita Express.”

In 2008, Epstein was charged by federal prosecutors in Florida with serious crimes involving minors, including transporting or otherwise luring dozens across state lines for prostitution. Epstein was facing a possible life sentence in federal prison, but he received what has been called a “sweetheart plea deal” and served only 13 months of an already lenient 18-month sentence in the Palm Beach County Jail, not a federal prison. Epstein was allowed to leave jail 12 hours a day to go to his office. The deal also included a promise by the FBI not to release any of the results of its investigations or prosecute anyone implicated in those investigations.
