Summary
Transcript of the initial appearance and arraignment of Jeffrey Epstein on July 8, 2019, in the Southern District of New York. The government argues for pretrial detention, citing extreme flight risk due to wealth/private jets and danger to the community based on evidence found in his home (photos of minors) and potential witness tampering. The defense pleads not guilty, argues the conduct is 'ancient' (2002-2005), and claims a 2008 Non-Prosecution Agreement covers the conduct; a full detention hearing is scheduled for July 11.
