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.

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.

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 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.

Crucially, it alleges that then-State Attorney Barry Krischer pressured detectives Reiter and Recarey to downgrade or drop the charges.

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.

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.
