Summary

This legal document, part of a court filing from July 18, 2019, argues against granting pretrial release (bail) to the defendant, Mr. Epstein. It cites legal statutes and precedents to establish a presumption against release due to the nature of the charges (sex trafficking of a minor) and the existence of a grand jury indictment. The document also references a letter from the Government which claims Mr. Epstein poses a danger to the community and is likely to intimidate witnesses and obstruct justice if released.
