Accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to remain jailed until trial

American financier Jeffrey Epstein will remain behind bars while he awaits trial on charges of sex trafficking dozens of children, a U.S. judge rules.

U.S. District Judge Richard Berman announces his decision at a hearing in federal court in Manhattan, rejecting Epstein's request to stay under house arrest in his New York mansion valued at $77 million.

"The government has established a danger to others and the community by clear and convincing evidence," Berman says at the hearing.
