This legal document, dated July 12, 2019, is a filing by the U.S. Government arguing for the pretrial detention of the defendant, Jeffrey Epstein. The prosecution refutes the defense's attempt to characterize the alleged crimes as 'simple prostitution,' asserting that under federal law, a minor cannot consent to being exploited, and coercion is not a required element for a child sex trafficking charge. Citing the defendant's history of abuse and past statements minimizing his conduct, the Government concludes that he poses a significant flight risk and danger to the community.
This legal document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to Judge Richard M. Berman, dated July 12, 2019, arguing against Jeffrey Epstein's motion for pretrial release. The government portrays Epstein as an unrepentant serial sexual predator who poses a significant flight risk due to his vast wealth and the likelihood of a life sentence. The letter cites substantial evidence, including photographs found in his mansion and a history of witness manipulation, to support its request for continued detention.
