A federal judge ruled Thursday, Feb. 21, that prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida broke the law when arranging a controversial plea deal for accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein, a wealthy, politically connected former New York City hedge fund manager with a Palm Beach, Florida, mansion, spent only 13 months in a private area of the Palm Beach County jail while being accused of molesting more than 100 underage girls over an eight-year period.
