Epstein's booking mug

Epstein's booking mug

Pervy Wall Street financier Jeffrey Epstein is scheduled to be released from the main Palm Beach County jail at dawn Wednesday.

That’s six months before the end of his 18-month sentence, thanks to state laws.

The billionaire friend of former Prez Bill Clinton then has 48 hours to register as a sex offender at his $10 million-home on Palm Beach’s El Brillo Way. Even more humiliating for the high-finance whiz, he’s required to give up a saliva DNA sample for the state’s database.

The 56-year-old then will be on probation for a year and will have to contact his probation officer weekly, according to county records.

“He’ll be released like everybody else,” a jail source said. “He was sleeping at the stockade (near the fair grounds at the western edge of West Palm Beach) but we brought him back to the main jail for the paperwork.”

Accused of a plethora of sexual shenanigans with underage hookers, Epstein was the target of an 11-month investigation by Palm Beach Police in 2005-06. Detectives even went trash-diving for evidence that Epstein routinely received young girls, some as young as 14, in his home for sex.

But with a dream-team of lawyers that included Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr, a key figure in the Monica Lewinsky case against Clinton, the case dragged on for nearly two years as the then-State Attorney Barry Krischer seemed unsure what to do.

In time, with the feds breathing down Krischer’s neck, he and Epstein’s lawyers worked out a deal that would keep him from serving at least five years. He pleaded guilty to two felony counts: procuring a minor and prostitution solicitation.

Sporting an ankle bracelet and always tailed by an off-duty Sheriff’s deputy he paid for, Epstein actually was on “work release” since October. He was free from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. weekdays and even on weekends. According to jail records, Epstein was working 16 hours a day for The Florida Science Foundation, a science-related non-profit he created a few months before his sentencing.

He spent nights at the stockade.

He could have been sentenced to five years in prison.

County jail spokeswoman Teri Barbera said Epstein has been treated just like anyone else. He’s not leaving early because of special treatment.

“He receives 10 days off a month off his sentence automatically from the state,” she said, “just like everyone else.”

Epstein wasn’t available for comment, but his West Palm Beach lawyer, Jack Goldberger, echoed Barbera’s claim

“The amount of gain time he received is similar to anyone else in a similar situation,” Goldberger said.

Should Jeffrey Epstein be released now?

    Well, just goes to show that if you have money, you can get away with anything.

    Stellar, where do you hail from? All metro cities, large and medium sized have issues. Granted Palm Beach County has an influx of em… but a lot of that has to do with all of the people that migrate here from other US cities thinking that a fresh start will indeed be a cure to the mishaps they were involved in wherever they’ve surfaced from.

    these ‘women’ were hardly victims. What’s funny is those that are chastising this guy are probably guilty of drugs and other scams on the system.

    Makes no sense to keep this guy in jail on our dime when there are a million gangbangers running around in Palm Beach County.

    this guy should not be out just yet, its funny how after the fact that he is getting out these GIRLS are being called prostitutes as if they had chosen to to do what this DIRTY OLD GUY made them do… ITS GREAT HOW MONEY CAN BUY JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD.

    I am so glad the victims of this animal are speaking out! The State Attorney was too scared to give them a voice. This pervert was able to shake the prosecutor and the Sheriff to do what HE wanted. What other sex offenders were able to get off easy, able to leave the jail for 12 hours a day for a bogus buisness, pay for deputies to escort him and watch him do nothing! Hey Bojangles, read the police report before calling the victims prostitutes!
