Arrested and indicted for pimping on minors by the FBI, billionaire Jeffrey Epstein will be facing justice again. Twelve years ago he had benefited for the same facts from the clemency of American justice. This time the scandal could become a state scandal.

Jeffrey Epstein was arrested at the Teterboro airport near New York on the descent of his private jet from Paris for pimping minors.

The billionaire, now 66, managed to avoid federal lawsuits in 2007 by signing an agreement with the Miami prosecutor. This attorney, Alexander Acosta is today one of Donald Trump's ministers.

At the time, Jeffrey Epstein admitted to having used the services of prostitutes and was only sentenced to 13 months in prison in an institution that allowed him to go to work.

A light sentence for charges of sexual assault and human trafficking. Several victims told what they suffered. He was attacking very young women in difficulty whom he encouraged to prostitute himself.

One of her victims, Virginia Roberts, was 16 when she was recruited by a billionaire relative. She was working at a Donald Trump club in Palm Beach at the time. She accuses Jeffrey Epstein of organizing orgies on his private island where he invited personalities like Prince Andrew , brother of Prince Charles, the heir to the crown.

Jeffrey Epstein is also close to Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. New victims and witnesses would have been behind his arrest. He is scheduled to appear before a federal court in New York on Monday.
