Florida Man Arrested for Alleged Threats to Kill Epstein’s Clients and Government Officials
A Florida man, Terrell Bailey-Corsey, has been arrested by federal authorities for allegedly making violent threats on social media against individuals on the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s client list and unnamed government officials. The FBI filed a criminal complaint accusing him of posting graphic threats on X and Facebook, including claims of using a machete to kill those on the list and expressing extreme hatred towards politicians.
The criminal complaint, filed in the Middle District of Florida, details that Bailey-Corsey allegedly posted explicit threats on X, engaging in an online battle with X’s AI tool Grok on July 15. In one post, he wrote, ‘Well @grok you’re wrong. Everyone involved if I see them in real life I will KILL. On sight. With a machete so everyone can see the blood and gore of the moment. You can’t fear death so you can’t understand. I will KILL EVERYONE ON THE LIST. ON SIGHT. AND THEY ABSOLUTELY DESERVE IT,’ according to the complaint.
Additionally, Bailey-Corsey allegedly threatened three unnamed government officials, expressing a desire to kill them on sight and describe detailed violent acts. He also made similar posts on Facebook, where he allegedly threatened another government official in a video posted to the site. The FBI cited other posts between June 22 and July 15 that called for the killing of politicians and expressed graphic violence.
The complaint states that Bailey-Corsey admitted to making the posts and expressed remorse, though he possessed a knife, machete, and bow and arrow. The FBI concluded that there is probable cause to believe Bailey-Corsey violated 18 U.S.C. § 875(c) by transmitting a true threat to injure another person.
Meanwhile, the Department of Justice, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, moved to unseal long-secret grand jury transcripts from the Epstein case, citing public interest in the investigation. This development comes amid ongoing scrutiny of the Epstein case, which has raised numerous questions about the legal processes and transparency surrounding the investigation.
On Friday, under the direction of Bondi, the DOJ formally moved to unseal the grand jury transcripts, which were previously sealed due to the sensitive nature of the case. The move was made in response to intense public interest and demands for transparency in the investigation.
These developments highlight the complex and sensitive nature of the Epstein case, which has been a focal point for public attention and legal scrutiny. As the case progresses, it is likely to continue generating significant media coverage and public debate.
