A judge has released the transcripts of a 2006 grand jury investigation into sex trafficking and rape allegations made against the late US millionaire and financier Jeffrey Epstein. The Florida judge’s release of the 150 pages came as a surprise as he had scheduled a hearing for next week on when and how to release them. Governor Ron DeSantis had signed a bill in February allowing the release on Monday or any time thereafter that Circuit Judge Luis Delgado ordered.
He was required to register as a sex offender. That deal has been widely criticised as too lenient. Epstein in 2018 was charged with federal sex trafficking crimes in New York - where he also had a mansion that was a scene of abuse - after the Miami Herald published a series of articles that renewed public attention on the case, including interviews with some victims who had been pursuing civil lawsuits against him.
