The 176-page document contains new details about Epstein's crimes, including specifics about cash payouts to teens who recruited one another for Epstein's misdeeds, firsthand accounts from child sex-assault victims, and allegations of rape.
Palm Beach police initially opened the case after a fight between girls at a local high school, according to the transcript. One, just 16, had been accused of prostitution by a classmate, and a school official later found $300 in her purse, which originally came from Epstein, according to the documents.
