Kitchen Table Kibitzing 7/8/26: Release The Files [1]

[]

Date: 2026-07-08  

7 years ago today Jeffrey Epstein was indicted on sex trafficking charges. NPR:

Federal prosecutors have charged multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein with sex trafficking of minors and paying victims to recruit other underage girls, accusing Epstein of creating a network that allowed him to sexually abuse dozens of young victims.

Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York announced two counts against Epstein on Monday morning: one count of sex trafficking conspiracy and one count of sex trafficking, according to the indictment.

Epstein appeared in court Monday afternoon and pleaded not guilty.

The indictment alleges that from at least 2002 to 2005, Epstein “enticed and recruited” underage girls to his Manhattan mansion and his estate in Palm Beach, Fla., to engage in sex acts with him, after which he would pay the victims hundreds of dollars. To “maintain and increase his supply of victims,” Epstein paid some of the girls to recruit other victims, prosecutors say.
