Epstein, 55, pleaded guilty this morning to felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring a person under the 
age of 18 for prostitution. After serving 18 months in jail, he will be under house arrest for a year. And he will 
now have a lifelong obligation to register as a sex offender.

Epstein was arrested two years ago following a 
lengthy investigation by Palm Beach police into 
allegations that he paid several girls under the age 
of 18 $200 to $300 each in return for naked 
massages at his home on El Brillo Way that 
sometimes became sexual.

diligent in pursuing charges against Epstein and 
told him so. Epstein, in turn, hired a phalanx of high-priced lawyers and public relations specialists who 
questioned Reiter's competence and the victims' truthfulness. 
Epstein arrived in court with at least three attorneys on Monday wearing a blue blazer, blue jeans and white and 
gray sneakers. After Circuit Judge Deborah Dale Pucillo accepted the plea, Epstein was fingerprinted. He then 
removed his coat and was handcuffed while his attorneys tried to shield him from photographers' lenses. 
When he eventually is released from jail, Epstein will have to comply with numerous conditions of his house 
arrest. They include observing a 10 p.m.to 6 a.m. curfew, having no unsupervised contact with anybody under 
the age of 18 and not owning or possession pornographic or sexual materials "that are relevant to your deviant 
behavior," the judge said. 
Epstein's conduct with underage girls doesn't end with today's plea. There are three pending federal civil 
lawsuits and one in state court related to his behavior. At least one woman has sued him in New York, where he 
owns a Manhattan mansion.
