Summary

This document is a page from a legal filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, likely the Ghislaine Maxwell case) summarizing the timeline of the government's case against Jeffrey Epstein. It details the resurrection of the case by the SDNY following the lenient 2007 Florida plea deal, his arrest on July 6, 2019, and the aftermath of his death in BOP custody. The text criticizes the government's failure to keep Epstein alive for trial and mentions the 'urgency' to repair the DOJ's reputation, ending with a mention of four women named as co-conspirators.

prosecution and to an investigation by the Justice Department's (“DOJ”) Office of Professional
Responsibility.
At the urging of civil attorneys representing Epstein’s victims, the U.S. Attorney’s Office
for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”) took the extraordinary step of resurrecting the
decade-old case against Epstein. SDNY’s focus was always on righting the wrongs resulting from
the Florida prosecution: Epstein was undercharged and under punished, Epstein never faced his
accusers, and his accusers were denied justice. Epstein was the target and the focus of the
prosecution until his death in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) in August 2019.
Epstein’s 2019 Arrest and Aftermath
On July 6, 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in connection with an SDNY indictment. He
was detained in the Metropolitan Correctional Center (“MCC”) until his untimely death in custody
on August 19, 2019. The highly publicized announcement of his arrest and detention came as a
relief and vindication for women who had filed complaints against him. His capture and
confinement quelled public outrage at Epstein’s lenient Florida plea deal from October 2007 and
the low sentence he received. Epstein’s death approximately one month after his arrest eliminated
any prospect of a trial, again shocking and disappointing his accusers. It also highlighted the failure
of the U.S. government to ensure that an inmate in federal custody, in such a sensitive and high-
profile case, could be kept safe and alive to face trial.
In the face of strong media and public uproar following Epstein’s death, the government
faced an urgency to appease the renewed distress of Epstein’s accusers and to repair the tarnished
reputations of the DOJ and BOP in whose custody Epstein died. There would be no trial for
Epstein and no public vindication and justice for his accusers. The government now had a huge
hole to fill: Epstein’s empty chair. Although four women had been specifically named as co-
