Brigham Young University Prelaw Review
In June of 2008, Jeffrey Epstein plead guilty in a Florida court on
two counts of felony prostitution for nonconsensual sex acts against
two girls under eighteen. Evidence showed, however, that the true
scope of his crime encompassed dozens of underage girls. He
was sentenced to eighteen months in jail but ended up only serving
thirteen. Because of the terms of his prison sentence, Epstein
was allowed to leave the jail during the day for work release.
