Epstein owned luxury real estate, including a private island in Caribbeanwhere, according to witnesses, many of the crimes were happening. He faced allegations of sexual abuse of juveniles in 2005, but in 2008 he concluded an agreement with federal prosecutors in Florida, which allowed him to avoid a more serious sentence in exchange for granting less serious allegations.
