Charging Epstein with sex trafficking, which carries a much higher sentence than anything related to solicitation, appears to be part of a high-profile trend among prosecutors in the post-MeToo era
against the Church of Scientology alleged that a young Sea Org member who was kept in solitary confinement and forced to do manual and physical labor was a victim of human trafficking.
The jury didn’t buy this argument, and Raniere was convicted after five hours of deliberation. But Epstein’s case is much more cut and dry: Back in the 2000s, the girls that Epstein molested were paid in cash. The fact that no one called this “sex trafficking” at the time has a lot to do with Epstein’s wealth, and the way that he was perceived among prosecutors and the 1 percent. The feds had him dead to rights back then, but let him go.
