Prosecutors are urging more women to come forward in the case against Jeffrey Epstein. He is a well connected billionaire financier. The 66yearold is charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy. Prosecutors say the alleged sex ring may have involved dozens of underage teenage girls. He mreepleaded not guilty yesterday 11 years after acce accepting a secret plea bargain in florida. New york prosecutors want a do over his lawyers say. People want to read this indictment. Who have we learned from it . Reporter good morning. The indictment claims Jeffrey Epstein knew that some of the young girls he preyed on were just 14 years old and that in some cases he used the victims to recruit even more young women and grow his network of sexual abuse. The alleged behavior shocks the conscience. Reporter the newly unsealed indictment alleges jeffrey girls in 2002, with alleged encounters at his new york city mansion and palm beach estate. According to prosecutors, victims were recruited to provide massages to epstein, which would combe performed nudr partially nude or include one or more sex agents. Usually, they were recruited by employees of epstein and sometimes by fellow victims. They received hundreds of dollars in cash. Reporter over the weekend, agents forced their way into his 77 million new york city townhouse. You could see the damage to the door. During their search, investigators say they discovered at least hundreds and perhaps thousands of sexually suggestive photographs, some were allegedly in a locked safe. They were labeled such as girl pics nude. He pleaded guilty in 2008. Acosta negotiated a secret plea deal with his attorneys that required him to register as a sex offender and serve 13 months in a florida county jail. Today, acosta works as President Trumps secretary of labor. Acosta defended deal. The facts in this case were presented to a grand jury that initially recommended not initially, that actually recommended a charge that would have carry nried no jail time. Do you regret making this deal in secret . Do you regret making this deal many secret . If i could finish. At the end of the day, mr. Epstein went to jail. Reporter over the years, epsteins relationships included President Trump and former president bill clinton, who rode epsteins private jet. His Spokesman Says it was related to the clinton foundation. Adding mr. Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to or those with which he has been recently charged in new york. He has not spoken to epstein in well over a decade. An attorney represents three of the victims. They hope that mr. Epstein and the people who worked with him and enabled him are finally brought to justice. This looks like an important first step in having that happen. Reporter the white house has not responded to requests for Th Department of labor has yet to respond to a request for comment about second acostas involvement in the case. Epstein is expected to make his next Court Appearance thursday for a bail hearing. Prosecutors are requesting he remain in custody until his trial. They say his extraordinary wealth, that his access to private jets, his homes abroad and his lack of family ties in the u. S. Here make him an extreme flight risk. Thank you very much. Rickie kleeman joins us to discuss. The charges are disgusting. They ha his Attorney Says this is essentially a do over. Do you think its that . If not, what makes this different . The expected defense move would be to say, we will file a motion to dismiss because they has been litigated before and he was given immunity in 2008 by the southern disict of m inhe53page indictment just wen away. It was dismissed. He got to do 13 months on one state count of solicitation of prostitution. He went from being a predator to simply being a john. He used to go to work. He went six days a week. Six days a week. What you have now is the defense says, this is a do over. We got immunity. Southern district of new york simply says, look, he had an agreement with the Southern District of florida. That does not bind the Southern District of new york. Thats the biggest piece of litigation here. Now they are looking for new victims. They may have new charges. How big lets talk about this plea deal, which has been criticized from the get go. Its appalling. It is appalling. Why . Because you have a sex trafficking indictment with multiple victims. It goes away and the victims are never informed about it. It was done in secret. If its done in secret, why would you do that . Because it was really a terrible plea deal. The individual who negotiated that plea deal, acosta, is now labor secretary in the Trump Administration. He was grilled about the deal by congress but was approved. Whats next . He is tainted. There will be a groundswell. Remember the change of time and change of culture. At the time, 2008, when people were victims in situations like this, they had shame. Now because of the me too movement, now they have courage. Alex acosta becomes public enemy number two. Jeffrey epstein being number one. Number two, because he did this sweetheart deal. It is going to be looked at and dissected and i think alex acosta needs to talk to his family and have a big reconsideration, because already people are calling for his resignation. This sounds like the Justice System works differently than if you are rich and guilty than poor and innocent. This is Proof Positive of that. I do hope that new victims come forward and apparently they are. Dont go too far. We have asked rikki to come back. We will look at the latest round in court for kevin spacey. Why the groping case against the oscar winner may be falling apart. Thats ahead. Diplomatic rift between the u. S. And britain is growing wider over embarrassing leaked cables critical of President Trump. The British Ambassador was uninvited from a dinner the president attended last night. Earlier, mr. Trump said the u. S. Would no longer deal with him. In the cables, he called the Trump Administration inept. Ben tracy is at the white house. Britain is supposed to be our closest ally. How big a deal is this . Reporter the president is clearly annoyed. Now the British Government is launching an investigation into who leaked the memos. The uk says it does pay its ambassadors to be candid. They are supposed to send their thoughts back. But the content of the memos is painfully blunt. In one of them, the ambassador writes, we dont really believe Trumps Administration is going to become substantially more normal, less dysfunctional, less diplomatically inept. He says President Trump radiates insecurity. The president responded calling the ambassador a stupid guy and a pompous fool and tweeted, we will no longer deal with him. Theresa may still supports him. The British Government made clear to the u. S. How unfortunate all of this is. It does come at a critical time when the u. S. And the uk face a new threat from iran which just yesterday further exceeded its uranium enrichment cap, bringing it closer to developing a nuclear weapon. After the u. S. Pulled out of that nuclear deal, the remaining european members have been trying to keep iran inside the agreement. Meanwhile, the president gave a speech yesterday boasting about his administrations environmental record. How does his record measure up . Reporter the president did position himself as a champion of the environment. He said the u. S. Can lead or fighting air and Water Pollution around the world. It was the president that pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord and has overseen rollbacks of air and water protections. The president previously called for the Environmental Protection agency to be eliminated, which is why some green groups are calling his speech yesterday utter fantasy. We should point out that during that 20minute speech, there were two words that the president never said. Those words are climate change. Ben, thank you very much.
