Federal sex-trafficking and conspiracy charges were unsealed in New York on Monday morning against Jeffrey Epstein, whose state plea deal in Florida in 2008 has been intensely criticized as inadequate.
The indictment includes one count of sex trafficking of children by force, fraud or coercion, which carries a maximum prison term of 40 years, and one count of conspiring to commit that crime, punishable by as long as five years.
