“This is a monster of a case'
Author James Patterson. Photo: Taylor Jewell/Invision/AP/Shutterstock In 2016, best-selling novelist James Patterson took a break from writing thrillers and focused his attention on a real-life criminal: Jeffrey Epstein, his Palm Beach neighbor who was busted for paying young women for sex a decade prior and served only 13 months in jail for his crimes.
You’ve created so many characters as a novelist. Can you help people understand who this Jeffrey Epstein character is? I think they have the insurance policy of having found pornography with young girls. I have to expect that they have pretty good evidence, presumably, of things he did after Palm Beach. I would expect that.
We did investigate President Trump and, yeah, we did find that he threw Epstein out of the club. We heard that from people who were around Palm Beach. I interviewed the woman who ran the spa there, and I asked her, “Did you know Jeffrey Epstein?” She said, “Oh yeah, I did. He used to come to the spa.” She found him to be inappropriate to young girls there. She said she went to Mr. Trump and Mr. Trump threw him out.
There was a story, whether it’s accurate or not … Wexner was going to get married, and he was going to sign a prenup. Epstein brought him into a conference room, and on the table there was a woman with her legs spread and the prenup between her legs. And the joke, so-called, was you sign that prenup and there’s no more of this. I don’t know if that story was true but it certainly came up a couple of times.
