NEW YORK—Jeffrey Epstein’s bail request was denied on July 18 by U.S. District Judge Richard Berman during a brief hearing in a Manhattan federal court.

The decision came days after Berman said he needed more time to make up his mind. Epstein will now remain at the Metropolitan Correctional Center while he awaits trial.
