, two police officers and an investigator with the state's attorney's office in a proceeding that lasted less than four hours, according to newly unsealed transcripts released by a judge in Florida.
The grand jury was convened in 2006 by then State's Attorney Barry Krischer, who had for months resisted efforts by the Palm Beach Police Department to charge Epstein with multiple felonies for his alleged sexual exploitation of underage girls. A juror then asked the witness if she had "any idea deep down inside of you that...what you're doing is wrong?""And you're well aware that what you're doing to your own reputation," the juror asked.A prosecutor, Lanna Belohlavek, then asked the 15-year-old witness: "You aware that you committed a crime?"
In subsequent testimony Detective Recarey, who died in 2018, recounted the now familiar deviant scheme in which Epstein enlisted his assistants and his alleged victims to recruit other underage girls to his homes for illicit massages. Recarey told the grand jury that two alleged victims had intercourse with Epstein without their consent while under the age of 18.
