Judge has ordered release of graphic transcripts of 2006 prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein

[Social Media]

 

A Florida judge has ordered the release of graphic transcripts from the 2006 prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious financier and convicted pedophile. The documents, spanning nearly 200 pages, detail Epstein's heinous crimes, including firsthand accounts from victims and specifics about the payoffs made to underage victims. This case, which concluded with Epstein receiving a highly criticized lenient sentence, has been a source of public outrage and has raised serious questions about the criminal justice system.

 

Epstein managed to strike a deal in 2008 to avoid severe charges of sex trafficking and rape. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, resulting in a mere 13-month prison sentence, a decision that has since been widely condemned. The leniency shown towards Epstein has been a point of significant anger and frustration among the public, who view it as a miscarriage of justice.

 

On Monday, Circuit Judge Luis Delgado ordered the release of these 16-year-old documents, stating, "details in the record will be outrageous to decent people." He emphasized the severity of the crimes described in the transcripts, noting that the grand jury testimony included descriptions of activities ranging from grossly inappropriate behavior to rape, all of which are "sexually deviant, disgusting, and criminal."

 

Judge Delgado referred to Epstein as "the most infamous pedophile in American history" and criticized the state's leniency in handling his case. He noted that this leniency has "been the subject of much anger and has at times diminished the public's perception of the criminal justice system." He also acknowledged Epstein's notorious reputation and the widespread reports of him flaunting his wealth while mingling with powerful figures, including politicians, billionaires, and even British royalty.

 

The judge underscored the public's intense curiosity about Epstein's prosecution, fueled by media reports of his "special treatment." The release of these files coincided with the enactment of a new Florida law permitting the release of grand jury documents from 2006, which are typically kept confidential.

 

Epstein, who was convicted in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a minor, was known for his high-profile connections in the business and political spheres, including relationships with former presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, as well as celebrities and Prince Andrew. Renewed scrutiny of Epstein's actions began in 2018 following a Miami Herald investigation that included interviews with his victims, some of whom were pursuing civil charges against him. This renewed interest led to new criminal charges being filed against Epstein.

 

Tragically, Epstein took his own life in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. His accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, was later convicted for her role in aiding Epstein's sex trafficking crimes and is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.

 

The release of these transcripts sheds new light on the extent of Epstein's crimes and the controversial handling of his case. It also serves as a stark reminder of the need for accountability and justice in cases involving such severe criminal conduct. The public's reaction to these revelations will likely continue to shape the discourse around Epstein's legacy and the broader implications for the criminal justice system.

I seriously doubt if these transcripts will ever see the light of day, there are some very powerful people who have done everything they can to make sure that this kind of information has not gotten out. Whatever happened to that Infamous list?

 

The chances of this getting out are about the same as the chances Epstein committed suicide. 

[JonnyF]

Still no details/action against his clients who frequently travelled with him to his Paedo island?

 

And people still believe he killed himself while the CCTV was malfunctioning.

 

No wonder they hate whistleblowers like Assange so much. Bunch of crooks.

I thinking, not unless the record includes names of the rich and famous at Epstein’s properties. Otherwise unsubstantiated rumours.

I can only speculate, Mike. Seems to me she is still alive due to having secreted the list or other information to keep her safe.

No doubt he was a dirty old man but i don't believe his so called victims were really victims. Private jets to private islands large cash payments for "massages". I can't believe that they did not know they would be called upon to share some skin. They may have been young but did not lack experience in matters of the flesh.

Remember grey haired old men give up control of girls bodies when they are 16 in the UK unlike 'the land of the free" where they have to be 18 . What I find stranger in the US is that you can join the military at 18 and they will put a gun in your hand and send you to kill people but you can't have a beer till you are 21, democrats still too far right for me.

And it happened while Donald Trump, who knew Epstein, was President. And William Barr was the Attorney General. And Barr was in a Federal prison.

"In the book, Ms Truss wrote: "If only the words attributed to Mayer Amschel Rothschild of the famous banking family had been heeded: 'Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.'"
There is no evidence that Mr Rothschild said this, and the quote first appeared in print long after his death.
It has long been used in antisemitic conspiracy theories which falsely accuse the Rothschild family and other Jewish people of secretly trying to control global finance."

Finger pointing again and again... doesn't help the situation... doesn't excuse the behavior... exactly what does it do?

You were getting at a concept that you can't be bothered to actually delineate? But you can be bothered to offer repeated deflections and personal insults? You're just confirming the fact that you know that whatever notion you hold is repugnant.

Let me dumb it down for you then. When you are at a certain point in wealth. Politics and laws mean.nothing to you. I was referring to nothing else but that. Hopefully your stupid wild assumptions have been cleared up enough for you to understand. I doubt it. You have a strange obsession with race.

What does your explanation that "politics and law mean.nothing to you" have to do with this: "give me control over a nations finance and i care not who makes its laws."? It's clear you're either  backpedaling or you don't understand the meaning of this statement about control. Your explanation is about the inconsequence of politics and laws to the very wealthy but what it purports to explain is about control. Just being extremely wealthy does not give one control of a nation's finances.  There are lots of extremely wealthy people out there. Are they acting in concert to control a nation's finances? Does being extremely wealthy give one the authority to set interest rates? Determine deficits? Being extremely wealthy may offer  immunity from the consequences of violating laws political decisions but that's not the same thing as having "control over a nation's finances."
