| After long probe, billionaire faces solicitation charge
By LARRY KELLER Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein paid to have underage girls and young women brought to his home, where he re- ceived massages and sometimes sex, ac- cording to an investigation p—a_ by the Palm Beach Police Department.
Palm Beach police spent months sifting through Ep- stein’s trash and watching his waterfront home and Palm Beach International Airport to keep tabs on his “ private jet. An indictment Epstein charging Epstein, 53, was unsealed Monday, charging him with one count of felony solicitation of prostitution.
Palm Beach police thought there was probable cause to charge Epstein with un- lawful sex acts with a minor and lewd and lascivious molestation.
Police Chief Michael Reiter was so angry
| with State Attorney Barry Krischer’s han- dling of the case that he wrote a memo
