The Florida lawmaker who urged Gov. Ron DeSantis to open a probe into wealthy pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s cushy 2008 jail setup says she’s been getting threats warning her to back off.
State Sen. Lauren Book has reached out to Capitol Police after receiving more than a dozen calls from menacing supporters of Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, who handled Epstein’s lenient “work release” program, The Miami Herald reportedThursday.
“I’ve received countless phone calls saying ‘Little girl you don’t know what you’re getting into’ and telling me that I should just stop,’’ Book said.
In a statement, the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office said it didn’t know of anyone trying to threaten or pressure Book.
