New victims come forward as Epstein asks to be released from jail to his Manhattan mansion

At least a dozen new victims have come forward to claim they were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein even as the multimillionaire money manager tries to convince a federal judge to allow him to await a sex trafficking trial from the comfort of the same $77 million Manhattan mansion where he’s accused of luring teenage girls into unwanted sex acts.

Following Epstein’s arrest Saturday in New Jersey, four women have reached out to New York lawyer David Boies, and at least 10 other women have approached other lawyers who have represented dozens of Epstein’s alleged victims in the past.

Jack Scarola, a Palm Beach attorney, said at least five women, all of whom were minors at the time of their encounters with Epstein, have reached out to either him or Fort Lauderdale lawyer Brad Edwards.

“The people we are speaking to are underage victims in Florida and in New York. They are not individuals whose claims have previously been part of any law enforcement investigation,’’ Scarola said.

1. There will probably be TV commercials soon

Link to tweet

Keyword advertising on the name “Epstein” is taking off.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Too bad Michael Avenatti is otherwise occupied these days.

[jberryhill]

7. I know, right?

If he’d have managed to hang in there for a couple of more months of his Ponzi law practice, he might yet have had a shot at getting enough money to fix all his problems.

[MLAA]

14. You nailed it!

[jberryhill]

33. .

[MLAA]

35. 😬

Avenati, always remember that you are a nobody. And will always a nobody and a POS. Now go back to your cell.

[SouthernProgressive]

37. Badge of honor. NT

[TalenaGor]

9. ROFL!!

[jberryhill]

10. Who knew that Epstein would be the new mesothelioma

If Epstein also gave anyone defective medical devices, the entire contingent fee litigation community will have a simultaneous orgasm.

[TalenaGor]

15. OMG you are Killin me over here

[shanny]

28. What's astonishing is that

anyone is surprised.

[jberryhill]

40. Well, take this article as an example

When people read an article like this, they don't think, "How did this come to the attention of the reporter?"

The article mentions two lawyers in one particular Florida firm, and quotes one of them about it.

That puts the reporter in an interesting position. On the one hand, it is a local story and there is significant news that other women are contacting lawyer. But what sort of gets buried is the self-promotion dynamic of how that happens.

[ProudLib72]

16. "Call J Berryhill. 877 right now. 877 right now!"

[jberryhill]

36. .

[ProudLib72]

38. Poor Avenatti. His chances for 2020 are looking slim

And here I was pulling for him!


Or are we still not allowed to mock him because he supports Dems?

[Brother Buzz]

39. Hey, I'm not an ambulance chaser......

I got here before the ambulance......

SO STOP SAYING THAT!

[Hugin]

41. With the extent of Epstien's activities, the ads will probably push out the Mesothelioma ads.

Maybe even cut into the 1-800-CASH-NOW band wagon.

[blue neen]

2. These poor women have been waiting for justice for a long time.

Since they were girls, as a matter of fact.

[Scurrilous]

3. ...

[womanofthehills]

4. I bet Trump is freaking out about now

That's why he made such bizarro tweets today.

[johnnyfins]

8. He is definitely crapping his diaper

[pandr32]

5. May he rot in jail

...for the rest of his natural life without ever stepping free again--not even to and from court (he should be shackled). His property should be seized and sold to cover unpaid taxes and the balance put in a fund to aid under-aged victims of sex trafficking.

[BigmanPigman]

30. Some states castrate child sex offenders (liberal CA is one of them)

I know Epstein is being charged in a Federal Court but it was an interesting read. I wasn't aware of this.

[NBachers]

11. Outside, he'll find it easier to trash evidence if he can get to it; or get others to do it for him.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

21. Not to mention that he is a certifiable flight risk.

[Qutzupalotl]

12. Next time I'm in jail, I'll "ask to be released."

That’ll work, right?

[Haggis for Breakfast]

22. Not necessarily . . .

[Arazi]

24. Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Not too late to delete this shit post

I'm guessing you have never grown a child thru teenage years when moody, difficult, anxious and troubled are the norm.

Stop blaming anyone other than the sexual predators. Full stop

[WhiskeyGrinder]

25. Predators target victims who don't have a strong support system in the first place; they're already

isolated. Also, your post is shitty.

17. Poor Jeffy, bitching about being locked up!

Take away his mattress and blankets. Suck it dude, you sleep on the concrete floor.

Karma sucks, doesn't it!

Eat shit and die!

[dalton99a]

18. Kick

[Iggo]

19. Next time don't fuck children, Jeff.

[Princetonian]

20. Many more to go....

.... Epstein and all his fellow pedophiles must be sweating bullets. Good.

[Ligyron]

26. I wonder if some significant people were caught in some kind of "honey pot".

It would explain the behavior of a lot of people who have sacrificed their good names enabling and defending this Administration. People like Barr who, while a Republican was at least respected in his field. People like Lindsey Graham and even Trump himself.

And where did Epstein get all his money and the free time to set up this sex ring? And who is really pulling the strings?

[Stargazer09]

32. Highly likely

From what I read, Epstein kept proof of others “partaking” in the “massage” services. He wanted to prevent his clients from ratting him out.

I bet Acosta has something to hide. That would explain a lot.

[world wide wally]

27. A billionaire child molester is a most definite flight risk

Throw away the key.

[Stargazer09]

31. Good (in a way)

More victims means less of a chance he walks away from this. I hope he never again sees the outside of a prison cell.

However, I’m horrified by the number of victims. One is too many.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

34. any statues of Julie K. Brown commissioned yet?

Nevertheless, she persisted.
