Key Figures

Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty on June 30, 2008 to two Florida state charges — solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of a minor — and was sentenced to 18 months in Palm Beach County jail with work release that allowed him to leave the facility up to 16 hours a day, six days a week. Under the terms of the secret NPA, federal charges covering dozens of additional victims were permanently dismissed. Epstein registered as a sex offender but served only 13 months before being released on probation in July 2009.

U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta signed a secret non-prosecution agreement (NPA) with Jeffrey Epstein's defense attorneys on September 24, 2007, granting Epstein and unnamed co-conspirators immunity from all federal charges. The agreement was deliberately concealed from Epstein's victims in violation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act, which required that they be notified and consulted. Acosta signed after private meetings with lead defense attorney Jay Lefkowitz, permitting Epstein to avoid federal sex trafficking charges that carried decades in prison.
