Epstein paid sheriff's office $128,000 during incarceration for prostitution charges
WPTV Action News, Tampa Florida ^ | July 17th, 2019 | WPTV staff

The financial record, released to WPTV through a records request, shows Epstein’s company, the Florida Science Foundation, paid Palm Beach Sheriff's Office $128,136 during his incarceration...

(snip)

The agreement also kept Epstein out of prison, and instead, allowed him to serve his sentence out at the local county jail...the convicted sex offender was granted work-release benefits, and allowed to leave his cell six days a week, 12 hours a day, to work at his Florida Science Foundation

(snip)

Meanwhile, a Fort Lauderdale attorney claims “more than one woman” was propositioned by Epstein at his Florida Science Foundation office, while visiting him during work release hours.

“(The women) believed that they were going there for something other than a sexual purpose, and while there, surprisingly to them, the situation turned sexual.”

WPTV asked PBSO why a convicted sex offender like Epstein was given work release benefits. Spokeswoman Teri Barbera wrote in an email, “Sex offenders are not allowed to go on work release. Epstein registered as a sex offender after he was released from jail.”

I didn't realize you can simply PAY and not go to prison. I also didn't know sex offenders can qualify for work release.

The sheriff was double-dipping, perhaps triple, including the “women”.

1. Epstein always sleeps with the air-conditioning set to a chilly 54 degrees, it drove girls staying with him crazy, though not in the good way.

2. Epstein is deeply into yoga and meditating.

3. He installed special FLOOR PADDING on his two jets to facilitate floor f*cking; the girls were so young they didn’t really understand when he’d point it out with this whole sly winky creeper/vibe. They didn’t get it, though presumably later they, uh, did.

4. Airport personnel at the various airports around the Carribbean report seeing him all the time with underage girls getting into/out of his jets.

5. Epstein doesn’t smoke, drink or do drugs. He only humps his brains out. He also generally dislikes nightclubs. He believes in fitness but has a theory that being too buffed makes you stupid.

6. He goes to restaurants but prefers to eat in via the cuisine provided by home chefs.

7. He owned stacks of white izod polo-type shirts. He’d wear them ONE time, then give the dirty shirt to staff for use as rags for cleaning jobs.

Sex offenders are not eligible for work release.
Work release rules are limited to non-violent criminal convictions
The money paid to the Sheriff was routine percentage of wages earned through work,
which pays for supervision (in and out of jail), room and board while incarcerated.
Also court fees, fines and any child support payments are routinely taken out of gross income while incarcerated.

There’s very little investigation into where this guy made his money. He’s supposed to have been a “hedge fund manager”, but there’s nothing about him anywhere in the financial world. Did he take it on the chin 10 years ago? He seems to have been protected at the highest levels.

Why do you cut and paste the same post on every Epstein thread?

If Epstein paid the sheriff’s OFFICE the money and it was for the cost of guarding him while he was not in the jail, it might not be a problem. If it went directly to the Sheriff; big problem. Keep in mind, it wasn’t the sheriff’s department that determined Epstein’s conditions of his sentence.
