Denied bail, Jeffrey Epstein to remain jailed as he awaits sex crimes trial

A federal judge in the US has denied bail for Jeffrey Epstein, who is being accused of child sex trafficking.

The disgraced financier will remain behind bars as he awaits trial.

In making his decision, US District Judge Richard M. Berman sides with prosecutors who argued that Epstein poses a danger to society and is a flight risk given the foreign passport he has in his possession.
