\n

A trial that promises to offer the first public airing of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s<\/a> activities with teenage girls at his Palm Beach mansion is to be held in December, a Palm Beach County circuit judge agreed Thursday.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The malicious prosecution lawsuit that attorney Bradley Edwards filed against the Palm Beach billionaire has been on hold for years while various appeals were filed. With the issues resolved by the Florida Supreme Court last month, Circuit Judge Donald Hafele said the jury trial should begin Dec. 5. <\/strong><\/em>(bold emphasis added)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While attorney Jack Scarola, who represents Edwards, had put President Donald Trump<\/a> on the witness list, he has said he won\u2019t need Epstein\u2019s fellow part-time Palm Beacher to prove his case. The legal hurdles he would face to try to force a sitting president to take the witness stand are unnecessary, he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe can prove our case without Donald Trump\u2019s testimony,\u201d Scarola said in May.<\/em><\/p>\n

Scarola claims Epstein sued Edwards in 2009 to punish him for representing roughly a half-dozen women against Epstein. The women claimed Epstein paid them for sexually charged massages at his mansion when some were as young as 14. Epstein eventually dropped his lawsuit against Edwards, but the state Supreme Court recently ruled Edwards could still pursue the 64-year-old politically connected money manager for malicious prosecution.<\/em><\/p>\n
