SDNY indicts Jeffrey Epstein on federal charges

Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York arrested financier Jeffrey Epstein at Teterboro Airport after he arrived on a private flight from Paris, charging him with one count of sex trafficking of minors and one count of conspiracy. The indictment alleged Epstein ran a sex trafficking network at his Manhattan and Palm Beach residences from 2002 to 2005, paying underage girls for sexual acts. Attorney General William Barr recused himself from the case due to his prior firm's work for Epstein, leaving day-to-day oversight with acting Deputy AG Jeffrey Rosen.
