Epstein was arrested again in July 2017. The case was given to the [[DOJ]]'s public corruption unit and not its sex crimes unit. [[Maurene Comey]], daughter of former FBI director [[James Comey]], was assigned as a prosecutor in the case. If not for special treatment in the late 2000s due to liberal privilege, Epstein would have been in prison and his more recent victims may have been spared. | Epstein was arrested again in July 2017.
