Billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on Saturday and charged with sex trafficking by federal prosecutors under a sealed indictment, the New York Times reported.
Epstein was taken into federal custody and expected to appear in court on Monday to face at least two charges, one count of sex trafficking and one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, CBS Miami reported.
According to the Daily Beast, which first reported his arrest, Epstein has been accused of paying cash to dozens of underage girls as young as 14 for “massages” and then molesting or sexually abusing them between 1999 and 2005.
