The Palm Beach sheriff's office has opened internal affairs investigation into handling of Jeffrey Epstein
"The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office says it will conduct an internal investigation into whether deputies failed to properly supervise accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 and 2009 while he was serving a surprisingly lenient sentence thanks to a federal plea deal.
Sheriff Ric Bradshaw is facing increasing scrutiny as more details emerge about Epstein’s incarceration in Palm Beach, Florida, where he was allowed to participate in a work-release program and leave jail for 12 hours a day, six days a week.
Epstein could have faced life in prison after police found evidence he trafficked and sexually molested dozens of underage girls in his Palm Beach mansion. Instead, under the federal deal, he was sentenced to 18 months in county jail, of which he served only 13 months.
Even though sheriff’s office policy bans sex offenders from work release, deputies allowed Epstein to leave because he didn’t register as a sex offender until after he fulfilled his jail sentence, reports the Palm Beach Post.
Epstein spent his time outside the county jail at a nonprofit he’d founded called the Florida Science Foundation. After his release from jail, Epstein was allowed to fulfill his community service requirements at the same nonprofit.
Financial records obtained by WPTV Thursday show the Florida Science Foundation paid the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office $128,136 while Epstein was incarcerated...."
But be aware that Palm Beach County is controlled by Democrats and has a long history of political corruption. So, dont expect too much
