Jeffrey Epstein prosecutor was
previously rebuked for handling of a
child sex case
Julie K. Brown
Nine months before cutting a covert plea deal with sex trafficking suspect Jeffrey
Epstein, Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta was notified that the lead
prosecutor in Epstein’s case had concealed victim information in another underage
sex crimes case, the Miami Herald has learned.
The prosecutor, A. Marie Villafaña, was harshly rebuked by a federal judge in
January 2007 for what he called her “intentional and/or serious lapse in judgment”
when she failed to explicitly inform him that the defendant, a Texas man who
traveled to Florida to have sex with a 14-year-old girl, had a prior history of
predatory behavior with minors, court records show.
Acosta, her boss at the time, not only knew about Villafaña’s breach — records show
that he subsequently defended it. Acosta assigned another prosecutor in his office to
