Trial date set for lawsuit against billionaire sex offender (Jeffrey) Epstein - Palm Beach Post

Jane Musgrave Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

11:26 a.m. Friday, July 7, 2017 Central Palm Beach County

A trial that promises to offer the first public airing of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s activities with teenage girls at his Palm Beach mansion is to be held in December, a Palm Beach County circuit judge agreed Thursday.

The malicious prosecution lawsuit that attorney Bradley Edwards filed against the Palm Beach billionaire has been on hold for years while various appeals were filed. With the issues resolved by the Florida Supreme Court last month, Circuit Judge Donald Hafele said the jury trial should begin Dec. 5.

While attorney Jack Scarola, who represents Edwards, had put President Donald Trump on the witness list, he has said he won’t need Epstein’s fellow part-time Palm Beacher to prove his case. The legal hurdles he would face to try to force a sitting president to take the witness stand are unnecessary, he said.

“We can prove our case without Donald Trump’s testimony,” Scarola said in May.
