This document, likely a House Oversight exhibit referencing a Miami Herald investigation, details the lenient treatment Jeffrey Epstein received from federal prosecutors. It highlights how prosecutors, specifically Marie Villafaña and Acosta, communicated privately with Epstein's defense team (led by Jay Lefkowitz) to avoid paper trails and agreed to keep the non-prosecution deal secret, effectively bypassing the Crime Victims Rights Act. The text contrasts the prosecutors' view of the crimes as a 'local sex case' with the victims' lawyer's assertion of international sex trafficking involving over 40 identified victims.
