Summary
This document is page 172 of a DOJ OPR report (filed in court in 2021 and 2023) criticizing former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. The text details Acosta's justification for the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA), citing the 'Petite policy' and a desire to avoid stepping on state sovereignty, reasoning the report calls 'flawed and unduly constricted.' The report notes that Acosta admitted the NPA was not an 'appropriate punishment' federally and that Epstein faced 168-210 months under federal guidelines.
