minor girls at his homes in manhattan, new york and palm beach, florida." and that he allegedly had girls recruited "to engage in sex acts with him, after which he would give the victims hundreds of dollars in cash." and "paid some victims to recruit additional girls to be similarly abused epstein." >> many of the underage girls that epstein allegedly victimized were particularly vulnerable to exploitation. the alleged behavior shocks the conscience. >> reporter: investigators say the alleged assaults occurred in a massage room epstein had set up. >> he asked me to get comfortable, to take, you know, my clothes off. >> reporter: courtney wild says she was victimized by epstein at the age of 14. we were with her as she headed to court, learning the prosecutor had called for more victims to come forward. >> today, i'm asking everyone to take a good look at this man. >> just to hear that they're standing up for the victims, you know what i mean? it's just, like, so overwhelmingly un -- it's past due. >> reporter: epstein, 66, owns at least six homes and two private islands.

in the past, he socialized with both president bill clinton and president donald trump. in a 2002 profile in "new york magazine" before any allegations surfaced, trump is quoted as saying this about epstein -- "it is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as i do, and many of them are on the younger side. no doubt about it, jeffrey enjoys his social life." epstein's arrest came as a surprise to many who have followed his case. in 2007, he faced a potential federal indictment for running a scheme to recruit underage girls to his home for lewd massages. the multimillionaire struck a plea deal, serving just 13 months in county jail, registering as a sex offender. the agreement also halted a federal grand jury investigation and gave epstein and any potential co-conspirators immunity from federal charges in florida. the u.s. attorney who authorized that deal, the current secretary of labor, alexander acosta. outside of court, michelle licata, another alleged victim, told us what it was like to be inside, hearing the allegations.
