NEW YORK (AP) – Jeffrey Epstein has been ordered jailed at least until a bail hearing Thursday after he pleaded not guilty to federal sex trafficking charges. He made his first court appearance Monday following his arrest over the weekend. Prosecutors say Epstein, a registered sex offender, is a significant flight risk and are asking that he be detained until his trial. They say he has three active U.S. passports and has frequently traveled in and out of the country on his private jet. The 66-year-old Epstein is accused of creating and maintaining a network that allowed him to sexually exploit and abuse dozens of underage girls from 2002 to 2005. Prosecutors said several alleged victims have come forward since Epstein’s arrest. Epstein’s lawyers argued the matter had been settled in a Florida case involving similar charges a decade ago.
