This document reveals significant misconduct in the handling of Jeffrey Epstein's case, particularly highlighting the collusion between federal prosecutors and Epstein's legal team to minimize his charges and silence his victims. The details of the non-prosecution agreement and the immunity granted to accomplices underscore systemic failures in the justice system that allowed Epstein to evade accountability for his crimes.
- Emails and letters contained in court filings reveal the cozy, behind-the-scenes dealings between federal prosecutors and Epstein’s indomitable legal team during the run-up to his federal plea deal.
- His underage victims — identified in FBI documents — weren’t told about the plea deal so they weren’t in court, where they could voice their objections and possibly sway the judge to give Epstein a harsher sentence.
- Most important, Epstein’s crimes would be reduced to felony prostitution charges, giving him the ability to argue that the girls weren’t victims at all — they were prostitutes.
