Document Summary
This document is page 4 of a legal letter addressed to the Honorable Mark Filip, dated May 19, 2008. The text argues against federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein, claiming his conduct was 'purely local' and did not violate federal statutes regarding human trafficking or sex tourism (§ 1591, § 2422, § 2423). It criticizes a CEOS review that found U.S. Attorney Acosta would not be abusing discretion by prosecuting, arguing that such prosecution would be a 'novel application' of the law and that the matter should be left to Florida state prosecutors.
