The former UFC fighter with ties to child sex abuser Jeffery Epstein

In 2008, American financier and registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of soliciting a 14-year-old girl for prostitution after pleading guilty. He served 13 months in “custody and work release” as part of a plea deal after investigators identified 36 victims. During his time at a Palm Beach County jail, Epstein was visited by a cast of characters that included a college friend to former President Bill Clinton, as well as Russian mixed martial artist and former UFC fighter Igor Zinoviev.

The list of people who visited Epstein at the time, which was taken from visitor logs reviewed by CNBC, was recently published in the wake of Epstein being charged this past week by federal prosecutors in New York with sex trafficking of minors.
