Summary

This document contains a scanned letter from Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter to the father of a victim, dated July 24, 2006. In the letter, Reiter confirms Jeffrey Epstein's recent indictment and surrender to state authorities but explicitly states his belief that justice has not been served by the state indictment alone. Consequently, Reiter informs the parent that he has referred the case to the FBI to investigate potential violations of federal law. The right side of the image contains partial text from a book or article comparing Epstein's lenient plea deal to the harsher sentencing of a school principal named Blake in 2013.

HAND DELIVERED
[Redacted Address]
Dear Mr. [Redacted]
Your daughter [Redacted] was the victim of a crime which has been investigated by the Palm Beach Police Department and subsequently referred for prosecution to the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office. You may be aware that Jeffrey Epstein was indicted on charges of solicitation for prostitution by a State of Florida grand jury last week and turned himself in at the Palm Beach County jail on July 23, 2006. While I do not speak for them, it is my understanding that is the full context in which the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office intends to address the charges that involved the crime in which your daughter was victim.
Please know that it is the role and responsibility of law enforcement to investigate crime and to refer appropriate charges to the prosecutor for consideration. I believe that the Palm Beach Police Department has acted competently and responsibly in carrying out this role. Should you have any questions concerning the state prosecution of this matter, they are best addressed by the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office.
I do not feel that justice has been sufficiently served by the indictment that has been issued. Therefore, please know that his matter has been referred to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to determine if violations of federal law have occurred. In the event that the FBI should choose to pursue this matter, the Palm Beach Police Department will assist them in their investigation of potential violations of federal law.
Please feel free to contact me at (561) 838-5460 should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Michael S. Reiter
Michael S. Reiter
