Alleged pedophile Jeffrey Epstein heads for jail. NBC outs Mitch McConnell's great-great-grandfather

as a slave owner, and we are forced by law to talk about women's soccer for like the 100th

consecutive day. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro show. I know I'm excited to talk

about women's soccer, aren't you? I mean, it's just what I love doing every single day. But apparently that's what's in the news, so we'll have to do that. We'll get to that in just a little bit. But the big story of the day continues to be the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein. For folks who have not been following this long-running and horrifying story, Jeffrey Epstein is a billionaire financier. It's pretty unclear where he came

up with his billions, but the dude is worth a fortune. He also happens to be an alleged pedophile.

According to Ali Watkins and Vivian Wang, over the weekend, federal prosecutors resurrected

a federal sex crimes case against billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein by focusing on accusations

that he sexually assaulted girls at his

mansion in Manhattan more than a decade after a widely criticized plea deal shielded him from

similar charges in Florida. Federal prosecutors unsealed the new charges on Monday,

accusing Epstein 66 of running a sex trafficking operation that lured dozens of underage girls,

some as young as 14, to his upper

east side home and to a mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, according to an indictment. Epstein, who is 66, is accused of engaging in sex acts with minors, some as young as 14 years old, during naked massage sessions, then paying them hundreds of dollars in cash, according to the indictment. He also asked some of the girls to recruit other underage girls. In other words, this guy is one of the worst pieces of crap in the modern history of the country.

He was engaged in sexual trafficking of minors, which is about as bad as it gets.

Everyone involved with him should go to jail for extraordinary periods of time, because this is horrifying in every way.

The indictment says Epstein created a vast

network of underage victims for him to sexually exploit in locations including New York and Palm

Beach. Epstein was arrested on Saturday at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey after arriving on a

private flight from France to law enforcement officials said he is charged with sex trafficking

and sex trafficking conspiracy.

He faces a combined maximum sentence of up to 45 years in prison if convicted.

Prosecutors are also seeking the forfeiture of Epstein's townhouse on East 71st Street.
