This document is a Decision & Order by U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman denying Jeffrey Epstein's request for pretrial release and granting the Government's motion for remand (detention). The Court concludes that the Government has shown by clear and convincing evidence that Epstein poses a danger to the community, citing testimony from victims and evidence of potential witness tampering and non-compliance with sex offender registration. Additionally, the Court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that Epstein is a flight risk due to his vast wealth, international ties, and the potential for a lengthy prison sentence, and determines that the defense's proposed bail package is inadequate to mitigate these risks.
