Summary
This document contains findings from an Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report regarding Alexander Acosta's handling of the Epstein case. While OPR did not find evidence of corruption or professional misconduct regarding the decision to enter a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA), it concluded that Acosta exercised 'poor judgment' and relied on a flawed application of federalism principles. Additionally, the report concludes that attorneys did not commit misconduct regarding the lack of victim consultation, citing the interpretation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) at the time.
