The Palm Beach mansion that formerly belonged to billionaire financier and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has been demolished by its new owner. Real-estate developer Todd Michael Glaser says he bought the waterfront property, where numerous incidents of sexual abuse allegedly occurred, for $18.5 million. Glaser told reporters that he thought it would be satisfying to knock down the home to build a new one and that he’s now personally overseeing the demolition crews. Epstein killed himself in 2019 at a Manhattan jail while awaiting trial. His alleged accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, is currently incarcerated after pleading not guilty to sex trafficking charges.
