Carmel auditorium. Malloy talked to a crowd of about 85 people, students and faculty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cI know about the \u2018how\u2019 of the story of Jeffrey Epstein, but I want to know the why, and the investigative reporting that goes with that,\u201dsaid Chris Misciagna, a Quinnipiac student.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cI skipped a class to come here,\u201d said Sean Keenan, another Quinnipiac student. \u201cI wanted to go here instead of [class] because this is more intriguing to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Malloy was a TV news reporter in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2005 when Palm Beach police found evidence Epstein sexually assaulted minors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cIt wasn\u2019t a big story, but it changed,\u201d Malloy said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Malloy kept the story in mind even after Epstein was sentenced to 13 months in prison.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cI had a good police source,\u201d said Malloy, \u201cand he told me, \u2018keep your eye on this, cause this guy\u2019s still doing it.\u2019\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">With his source and the leniency of Epstein\u2019s 2008 sentence on his mind, Malloy talked to his friend and neighbor, best-selling author James Patterson.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cI walked up to him one day and said, \u2018you&#8217;re a great crime writer, wouldn\u2019t you like to write a nonfiction book?\u2019 And he said yes,\u201d Malloy said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Epstein was scared once Patterson got involved. He threatened lawsuits against the authors repeatedly. Malloy said he was scared of what Epstein, a wealthy man, could do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cJames Patterson would sit me down and say, \u2018Tim, they\u2019re not going to kill your dogs. Don\u2019t worry.\u2019 But I was worried.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Malloy worked with James Patterson and reporter John Connolly to write the book <em>Filthy Rich<\/em> about the first criminal case against Jeffrey Epstein. It focused on Epstein\u2019s arrest in 2005, and his deal with prosecutors to spend so little time in prison. The book was published in 2016 to little fanfare, Malloy said. Neither he nor the book were very important in the 2019 arrest of Jeffrey Epstein, according to Malloy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div\n        class=\"\n          image-block-outer-wrapper\n          layout-caption-below\n          design-layout-inline\n          combination-animation-none\n          individual-animation-none\n          individual-text-animation-none\n        \"\n        data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\"\n    ><\/p>\n<figure\n            class=\"\n              sqs-block-image-figure\n              intrinsic\n            \"\n            style=\"max-width:2500.0px;\"\n        ><\/p>\n<div\n              \n                style=\"padding-bottom:50.040000915527344%;\"\n              \n              class=\"\n                image-block-wrapper\n                \n          \n        \n                has-aspect-ratio\n              \"\n              data-animation-role=\"image\"\n              \n  \n\n          ><br \/>\n            <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6602.jpg\" alt=\"The crowd at the event, consisting of more than just students.

After 9\/11, he went to Iraq and Afghanistan 14 times. Malloy said he was friends with John Lahey, president of Quinnipiac at the time. Lahey asked Malloy to come work at the Quinnipiac Poll as an analyst.
