(FOX) - An attorney for several accusers of Jeffrey Epstein said Tuesday that the wealthy financier had “improper sexual contact” with “female visitors” during his earlier jail time.
“It was sexual in nature,’’ attorney Brad Edwards said. “The female visitors were not there for business."
He added, as the New York Post reported, “He was having office visitors — some of whom were flown to him from New York — and continuing to engage in similar conduct literally while he was in quote-unquote jail.’’
“All I can say is more than one person that visited him, they believed they were going there for something other than a sexual purpose,” Edwards said, according to Daily Beast.
He said he was surprised by Epstein’s recent arrest.
One of Epstein’s most vocal accusers also urged other women Tuesday to come forward if they have allegations to make against the registered sex offender and financier as federal authorities prosecute him on sex charges.
“If you were a victim of Epstein then you know what I know, he’ll never stop sexually abusing children until he is in jail,” Courtney Wild told reporters at a news conference in New York.
Wild was an unnamed victim in the 2008 lawsuit against the Department of Justice over a plea deal. She said Epstein started sexually abusing her when she was 14 in Palm Beach, Fla.
Wild’s remarks came a day after she appeared in Manhattan federal court and urged a judge to deny Epstein bail.
