Three of us slid into the backseat of the cab and we drove and I remember just driving down Okotobi Boulevard

and thinking how I'd never been on Palm Beach Island before in my home entire life that I had to live in West Palm Beach.

By the time I was 16, I brought him up to 75 girls. All the ages of 14, 15, 16, people going from eighth grade to ninth grade at just school parties.

That's where I had recruited him from.

All Jeffrey cared about was go find me more girls. His appetite was insatiable. He couldn't stop. He wanted new fresh young faces every single day.

The sheer volume of girls, the frequency, sometimes several were many in the same day. The age of the girls, in some cases, there were victims that didn't know each other, had never met each other, but they had basically the same story.

Hello and welcome to Real Crime Profile. This is Jim Clemente, retired FBI profiler, former New York City prosecutor and writer producer on CBS' Criminal Minds. What with me today is...

Laura Richards, criminal behavior analyst, former New Scotland Yard and founder of Paladin National Stalking Advocacy Service.

Unfortunately, Lisa can't join us today, but she's out there doing her thing in a very exciting project that you'll hear about shortly, but she did give us a lot of listeners questions that we're going to cover as we deconstruct the mysterious Mr. Epstein, Wondery Podcast.

The federal prosecutor, on this case, actually made a deal so that Epstein could plead to the solicitation of prostitution, one count of that, and one count of solicitation of a child, which would give him an 18-month sentence. That is outrageous.

He should have had multiple sentences, a 30-year-plus, for the federal crimes he actually committed, and he should have spent the rest of his life in jail.

He should have had hundreds of years on his sentence, instead he got 18 months.

It's outrageous, and a costa goes on to just skyrocket in his career to become a federal cabinet member for this current administration, and he had the gall, the balls, to say that, well, this is very common to happen in cases like this.

Well, let's talk about why it isn't very common to happen in cases like this, because when Epstein got sentenced, he created a foundation, and that foundation was to donate money to science.

He created this foundation, and then said, I run this foundation, so I have to be there all the time.

Well, you and I, though, Laura, we've been part of cases where people went to jail for one month, one year, ten years, twenty years, their whole life, and they lost their careers, they lost their families, they lost their houses, they lost all their possession, because they were doing time for crimes they committed.

And if that were the case with Epstein, then it's so weird. But instead, again, they bent over backwards while he was in jail.

The irony, as you know, is that in Florida, sex offenders aren't allowed work release or day released. And so yet again, every time the rules seem to have been changed to accommodate him, that was just one aspect of it.

Right. I think that, you know, this case, every time you think, okay, it can't get any worse than it does, and there are multiple professionals who made those decisions who signed off.

And again, you've got a question what they're motivated was, what they're being given as an incentive to be able to give these concessions and a cushty deal to such prolific sex.

And there's a clue here. There's a clue here as to who it was, because in the deal, there's a clue here.
