This legal document, filed on July 18, 2019, outlines the arguments concerning the pretrial release of the defendant, Mr. Epstein. The Government contends he is an extraordinary flight risk due to his wealth, access to private planes, and the lengthy potential prison sentence, citing a history of investigations for sex offenses starting around 2005. The Defense counters by arguing that Mr. Epstein's compliance with his sex-offender registration mitigates any danger and that he has never attempted to flee the U.S.

This legal document, filed on July 18, 2019, outlines the U.S. Government's argument against granting pretrial release to the defendant, Mr. Epstein. The Government asserts he is an extraordinary flight risk due to his wealth, access to private planes, and the long potential prison sentence he faces. The document also provides background on Epstein's past legal issues, including a 2005 investigation, a 2007 non-prosecution agreement, and a 2008 guilty plea in Florida, contrasting the prosecution's view with the defense's claim that Epstein is not a flight risk.
