Billionaire sex offender leaves jail six days a week for work
Lawyer: Six women suing him for abuse are shocked, disappointed.

Palm Beach Daily News
Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who’s serving 18 months in jail for soliciting an underage girl for prostitution, is allowed to leave the Palm Beach County Stockade six days a week on a work-release program.
Teri Barbera, spokeswoman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, confirmed that Epstein, 55, has been in the work-release program since Oct. 10.
“He works six days a week: Friday through Wednesday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.,” Barbera said via e-mail. “(He) works at his local West Palm Beach office, monitored on an active GPS system (he wears an ankle bracelet). Mr. Epstein hires a permit deputy, at his expense, for his own security at his workplace during the time he is out.”

Miami attorney Jeffrey Herman represents six young women who’ve sued Epstein, claiming he sexually abused them at his Palm Beach home when they were minors.
Herman said he received a letter about the work-release program from the U.S. Attorney’s Office within the past few days. But Herman says Epstein had been out on work-release for several weeks before the notification.
“My clients expressed shock and disappointment,” Herman said. “I find it incredible that he’s on work-release in the community and my clients aren’t notified of this and we get this letter weeks after the fact.”
Jack Goldberger, Epstein’s criminal attorney, said the arrangement is not unusual.
“He goes to work every single day and goes back to jail at night, just like everybody else (in the program),” Goldberger said.
Epstein pleaded guilty June 30 to two felony counts: soliciting prostitution and procuring a person under 18 for prostitution. As part of the plea agreement, Epstein must serve one year of house arrest and register as a lifelong sex offender.
