HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016440.jpg
This document, part of House Oversight records, details the friction between investigators (Recarey and Reiter) and the Palm Beach County State Attorney's office (Krischer and Belohlavek) during the Epstein investigation. It highlights defense attorney Alan Dershowitz's attempts to discredit a victim using her MySpace page and marijuana use, and Investigator Recarey's strong rebuttal against such victim-blaming. The text also notes that the prosecutors actively avoided communication with the investigators and delayed the approval of subpoenas.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016439.jpg
This document, likely an excerpt from a report or book included in House Oversight files (marked HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016439), details Alan Dershowitz's legal strategy in the Epstein case. It describes how Dershowitz and his team investigated the victims to compile dossiers on their 'troubled pasts' and met with officials Krischer and Recarey to argue that the accusers would not be credible witnesses.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016438.jpg
This document appears to be a page from a Miami Herald article (part of the 'Perversion of Justice' series) included in a House Oversight file. It details the investigative process into Jeffrey Epstein, mentioning how investigator Recarey was overwhelmed by the number of victims and describing aggressive tactics used by Epstein's private investigators, including intimidation, trash picking, and posing as police officers. It also highlights the involvement of Alan Dershowitz and Sarah Kellen, noting Kellen's role in allegedly warning victims against speaking to law enforcement.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016437.jpg
This document appears to be an excerpt from a news article (likely the Miami Herald) featuring a photograph of lead detective Joe Recarey. It details the timeline of the 2005 investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, noting that detectives identified between 21 and 35 underage victims before the arrest. Crucially, it alleges that then-State Attorney Barry Krischer pressured detectives Reiter and Recarey to downgrade or drop the charges.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016436.jpg
This document appears to be a page from a 2018 news article (likely the Miami Herald) included in a House Oversight Committee file.

This August 14, 2006, article from the Palm Beach Post details the conflict surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case. It highlights the criticism Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter leveled against State Attorney Barry Krischer for his lenient handling of the case, and the subsequent personal attacks on Reiter's character by Epstein's high-powered legal team. The article contrasts the police's push for serious charges with the eventual plea deal, which dropped a federal investigation and allowed Epstein to avoid significant prison time.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_030311.jpg
This document is an email chain from February 2010 in which Jeffrey Epstein forwards an old 2008 email and a critical Palm Beach Post editorial about his plea deal to members of his legal team, including Alan Dershowitz, Martin Weinberg, and Robert Critton Jr. The repeated subject line indicates Epstein was having trouble with the emails being marked as 'undeliverable'.

This document, comprised of clippings from a September 20, 2007 New York Post article, details the state of the sex case against Jeffrey Epstein. It notes that a grand jury found witnesses not credible, leaving only a single solicitation charge, while police allege Epstein's assistant Sarah Kellen facilitated liaisons. Epstein's lawyers claim a police vendetta, cite a passed lie-detector test, and are reportedly negotiating a 15-month plea deal with federal prosecutors.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_030299.jpg
This document is an email chain from 2010 where Jeffrey Epstein forwards a collection of news articles about himself to his legal team, including Robert D. Critton Jr., Jessica Cadwell, Alan M. Dershowitz, and Martin Weinberg. The forwarded chain originates from a 2008 email from Michael Reiter to a 'Joyce', which contained a 2006 Palm Beach Post editorial detailing allegations that Epstein, then over 50, solicited and paid for sex with underage girls.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_022256.jpg
This document summarizes articles from The Daily Beast about Jeffrey Epstein, detailing his lenient 2007 plea deal for sex offenses and subsequent special treatment, such as using his own private psychologist for a court-required evaluation.
