Beacher

Jeffrey Epstein will

WEST PALM BEACH - He

front mansion and has kept
company with the likes of
President Clinton, Prince An-
drew and Donald Trump, but
investment banker Jeffrey Ep-
stein will call the Palm Beach
County Jail home for the next
18 months.
Epstein, 55, pleaded guilty
Monday to felony solicitation
of prostitution and procuring
a person under the age of 18
for prostitution. After serving
18 months in jail, he will be
under house arrest for a year.
And he will have a lifelong
obligation to register as a sex
offender. He must submit to
an HIV test within 48 hours;
with the results being pro
vided to his victims or their
parents.
As part of the plea deal,
federal investigators agreed

THREE young women suing billionaire Jeffrey Epstein for sex abuse
at his Palm Beach mansion want a federal judge to quash the plea
deal he made with the state of Florida to serve 18 months in jail in
exchange for admitting he solicited a 14-year-old hooker. Their
lawyer, Brad Edwards, has asked US District Judge Kenneth Marra
to toss the deal - which included an agreement that Epstein's wouldn't
face federal prosecution, which could have led to a longer jail term -
because they weren't consulted on it. Marra has asked for more
information before he rules. Epstein's rep, Howard Ruben stein,
said, "The lawsuit has absolutely no merit. They're just looking for
money. These women have lied repeatedly, and in no way shape or
form were they victims. They were at his place freely and voluntarily.
And one of them showed Epstein a fake ID."
