The pathology described in Jeffrey Epstein's 14-page indictment is as much about money as it is about sex. Made public on Monday before the multimillionaire's New York courtroom appearance, the document tells the story of a 66-year-old sex offender who allegedly exploited dozens of girls younger than 18, and then used some of his fortune to compensate them. He has denied the charges.
Epstein made the girls massage him, then he paid them, the indictment alleges. He asked the girls to bring him new girls, then he paid both the recruiters and the new recruits. The children were as young as 14, according to the indictment, and he allegedly groped them, and masturbated in front of them, and used sex toys on them, and then he paid them on the spot.
