Per the Daily Beast, Epstein was arrested and charged by federal prosecutors on Saturday evening, and he is expected to appear in a New York court on Monday.
Epstein will reportedly be charged with one count of sex trafficking of minors and one count of conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking of minors, charges that could bring him a maximum of 45 years in prison. Earlier this year, it was reported that the long-secret court documents associated with Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking ring might soon become public. The documents likely include years-old witness interviews, legal rulings, and other pertinent records.
