    Like you, James Patterson thinks Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest is “terrific.”

    James Patterson, a very rich author, is among those glad that billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has been charged with sex trafficking. Patterson wrote a book about Epstein in 2016 called Filthy Rich: A Powerful Billionaire, the Sex Scandal that Undid Him, and All the Justice that Money Can Buy: The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein. Who knew! (About the book, I mean. A lot of people knew about Epstein, including James Patterson.)

    “Our hope when we did the book was that somehow he’d get his just deserts and now I think he will — and that is terrific,” Patterson said.
