JAMES PATTERSON
Under "[Do] you wanna lose your virginity": "I already lost it."
One of the victims has been caught with drugs and arrested.
She's also been caught stealing from Victoria's Secret. From the
state attorney's perspective, these girls look like compromised
women. And if what they say about Epstein is true, wouldn't that
make them prostitutes?
As witnesses, they would be weak, while the lawyers on
Epstein's side were exceptionally strong.
Alan Dershowitz had represented Claus von Bülow, the Brit-
ish socialite who was acquitted of the murder of his wife, Sunny.
Dershowitz had been on O. J. Simpson's team when the former
football star was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole
Brown Simpson and Nicole's friend Ronald Lyle Goldman. And
rich as von Bülow and Simpson had been, neither one had had
the resources that Epstein was willing and able to deploy in his
own defense.
Neither of them had been intimate friends with his lawyer.
As far as Reiter was concerned, none of that mattered. Even if
Epstein thought that the girls he'd molested were eighteen years
old—even if they had lied to him—it didn't matter under Flor-
ida law. The chief grew worried that in Epstein's case exceptions
were being made, and he grew even more concerned with each
unreturned call that he made to the state attorney's office.
On May 1, the Palm Beach PD asked the state attorney's office
to issue an arrest warrant for Jeffrey Epstein.
That same day, Chief Reiter took the extraordinary step of
writing Barry Krischer a letter all but demanding that he recuse
himself from the case.
