Billionaire investor Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to charges that he paid girls for sex (as the Smoking Gun put it, "if investigators are to be believed, Epstein has a thing for teenagers, vibrators, and assorted massage lotions") in Florida. Profiled in 2002 as an "International Moneyman of Mystery" in New York magazine, Epstein was sentenced to 18 months in a Palm Beach County jail and a year of house arrest. Besides being designated as a sex offender, Epstein and his legal team must deal with the many lawsuits filed by women who claim they were molested by him.
