Jeffrey Epstein arrested for child sex trafficking

[Bob001]

I'm reminded of the eventual fate of notorious Cleveland serial killer Anthony Sowell's house, after the case finished and he was sentenced to prison.
......

Hadn't heard of that one. It sounds like another notorious case where cops had plenty of notice that something terrible was going on, and just didn't care.

The victims who escaped recounted how Sowell transformed into a monster. Some spoke of police officers who didn’t believe their harrowing stories.

I suspect 6bed/7baths is not much of a mansion. Sure, tear it down, put up a palatial residence of double the size. Make money. "Eraseing the reminder" has little to do with the profit except for lowering the purchase price.

This seems more like it.

If they razed every house in Palm Beach where underaged girls were molested by creepy rich guys, there probably wouldn't be very many places left standing.

Yeah, but the notoriety of this one will have a lasting stigma. It will always be Epstein's Place, no matter the new haircut it gets.

Which is why, instead, they just raze houses where their extreme notoriety (for whatever reason) makes it difficult to sell as-is.

14,000 sq. feet is pretty substantial, but some press reports say it's smaller than the properties around it. I'm sure the value is mostly the land, not the building.

And in this picture, it looks like they saved the pool and the pool house.

The excavator is still on-site in the pic. It's possible that they had to clear out the house to be able to access the pool/house area to nuke that out too.
