Of the planet. Axelrod and the kid who saved the fourth with a double knot. I walked up there and he whispered, can you tie his shoe . Axelrod good evening. Im jim axelrod. This is our western edition. Jeffrey epstein had it all. His hedge fund made him a fortune. He fostered friendships with powerful people, including two president s, but tonight he stands accused of sex trafficking and abusing dozens of girls as young as 14. Epstein probably thought hed put his legal troubles behind him with a plea deal in florida 11 years ago, but as mola lenghi reports, federal prosecutors in new york now have a different idea. Reporter dressed in prison blues after spending part of the weekend in jail, multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein plead not guilty to charges that he enticed, recruited, and molested young girls at his homes in new york and florida. In a filing, prosecutors referred to epstein as an alleged serial predator. U. S. Attorney geoffrey berman. This conduct as alleged went on for years, and it involved dozens of young girls, some as young as 14 years old. Reporter epstein was arrested saturday night after his private plane from paris landed in new jersey. F. B. I. Agents broke into his manhattan townhouse with a crowbar where they say they found hundreds of pictures of young nude females. The charges detail epsteins scheme to systematically create what the government says is a vast network of underage girls to abuse. F. B. I. Assistant director william sweeney. Children who were asked to engage in direct and indirect sex acts for money, children who were enticed to do all these things at the hands of a man more than or nearly three times their age. Reporter epstein is a former investment banker, friends with the rich and powerful, including thenprivate citizen donald trump, prince andrew, and former president bill clinton, who reportedly took more than two dozen trips on epsteins private jet between 2001 and 2003. In 2002, donald trump told new york magazine, ive known jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. And that, he likes beautiful women as much as i do, and many of them are on the younger side. The 66yearold is already a registered sex offender who served time in florida after pleading guilty to soliciting and procuring an underage person for prostitution in 2007. But a federal indictment against him in miami in 2008 was not pursued. Labor secretary alex acosta was then the u. S. Attorney in miami and signed off on epstein facing only state charges and a lighter sentence of 13 months. Cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman. I think there could be no doubt that Jeffrey Epstein back in 2007 and 2008 in miami was a rich and powerful man with powerful friends who absolutely got away with being a predator of young girls. Reporter epstein faces up to 45 years in prison if hes convicted on the two counts he faces, sex trafficking and conspiracy, and federal prosecutors want to seize his 77 million town home here behind me. Late today, former president bill clinton made a statement saying he knows nothing about epsteins crime and that he only took four trips on one of epsteins private jets. Jim .
