Investigation Reveals Epstein's Use of Florida Science Foundation Office During Prison Term
Jeffrey Epstein served an 18-month sentence in 2008 for child sex offenses but was allowed daily work release to an office in Palm Beach registered as the Florida Science Foundation. Investigations reveal the foundation was a largely fake scientific entity, functioning as a private space where Epstein maintained influential contacts and allegedly continued abusing victims. The arrangement has drawn criticism for its leniency and raised questions about the plea deal and oversight during his incarceration.
