In March of 2005, financier Jeffrey Epstein is at a charity benefit in New York City.

Wall Street Titans are in attendance.

Rod Stewart is booked to perform.

In a photo taken that night, Epstein has his arm around a woman pulling her head toward

his so that his smirking lips grace her temple.

Epstein is tan and relaxed and he looks like he doesn't have a care in the world.

On that same day, 1200 miles south, a 14-year-old girl in Palm Beach, Florida gives a statement

to the police that will launch an investigation.

But maybe Epstein is right not to be worried.

Nobody cared what these women had to say.

Their insights were ignored as the feds and the state made this case go away.

It would take more than a decade for Epstein to face justice for his actions.

A wealthy money manager is accused of sex trafficking and molesting underage girls.

Today, he's one of the most notorious criminals of our time.

But for most of his life, he was an enigma, praised by past and future presidents, princes,

and Nobel Prize winners.

A charming guy, somebody that people listen to and respected and adored.

He owned mansions in private islands.

He believed he could buy whatever he wanted.

Social status, academic respect, sex, even justice.

Mr. Epstein should have been looking at potential sentence of 360 years at a minimum.

But that's not what happened.
