And, the crimes Mr. Epstein has been charged with are among the most heinous in the law principally, in the Court’s view, because they involve minor girls. 18 U.S.C. § 3142 (e)(3)(E); see also Roger Przybylski, Chapter 5: Adult Sex Offender Recidivism, Sex Offender Management Assessment and Planning Initiative (“[R]esearchers widely agree that observed recidivism rates are underestimates of the true reoffense rates of sex offenders.
