A Florida judge ordered the release of documents related to a 2006 investigation into sex crime allegations against Epstein.
Over 150 pages of transcripts related to a 2006 grand jury investigation into allegations against Jeffrey Epstein were released to the public Monday afternoon.Circuit Judge Luis Delgado of the 15th Judicial Court of Florida ordered the release of the documents—which have been kept sealed for nearly two decades—after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill in February allowing the transcripts to be released on July 1 or afterward.
The defendant's attorneys cut a deal with federal prosecutors in 2008 that allowed Epstein to plead guilty to state charges of procuring a person under 18 for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution, helping him evade more severe federal charges.At the time, Epstein was sentenced to 18 months, and the plea deal was criticized as being too lenient.
