Summary
This legal document, part of a court filing from July 18, 2019, argues for the detention of Mr. Epstein. It cites a Pretrial Services report that deems him a flight risk and a danger to the community, referencing his current sex trafficking charges, a 2008 conviction for prostitution-related felonies, and his status as a registered sex offender. The Government alleges Epstein is a "serial sexual predator" who created a vast network to exploit minors, and the document includes a footnote quoting Epstein distinguishing himself as an "offender" rather than a "predator."
