Epstein, 66, a former friend of Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, was arrested by FBI agents in early July as he stepped off his private plane at an airport in Teterboro, New Jersey, which had flown in from Paris.
French prosecutors said Friday that they are opening an investigation into possible crimes, including the rape of children and minors, related to the case of deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein, 66, a former friend of Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, was accused by federal prosecutors in New York of sex trafficking of minors and sex trafficking conspiracy. The Paris Public Prosecutors' Office said it was launching a "preliminary investigation" based in part on "the exchanges with the competent American authorities in the so-called 'Epstein' case," according to a translation of that office's statement.
