This document is page 4 of a Government filing dated July 12, 2019, arguing for the continued detention of Jeffrey Epstein. It details that multiple victims have contacted the Government to oppose bail due to safety fears and the belief that Epstein's wealth should not grant him special home detention privileges. The document also introduces financial evidence from 'Institution-1' showing Epstein's net worth exceeds $500 million, arguing this vast wealth heightens his flight risk.

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.
