DOJ-OGR-00023322.tif

This document is an excerpt from an OPR report analyzing the handling of the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. It concludes that former U.S. Attorney Acosta, while not committing professional misconduct, exercised 'poor judgment' in resolving the case through a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) with a state-based plea, citing his failure to complete investigative steps and agreeing to problematic terms. The report states that Acosta's decision was not found to be based on corruption or Epstein's wealth, status, or associations.

This document is a page from a DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report evaluating U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta's conduct regarding the Jeffrey Epstein Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). The OPR concludes that while Acosta did not commit professional misconduct or act on corruption, his decision to resolve the investigation via a state-based plea constituted 'poor judgment' and relied on a 'flawed mechanism.' The report notes Acosta failed to consider the difficulties of relying on state officials and agreed to 'unusual and problematic terms' in the NPA.

DOJ-OGR-00021186.jpg

This document contains findings from an Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report regarding Alexander Acosta's handling of the Epstein case. While OPR did not find evidence of corruption or professional misconduct regarding the decision to enter a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA), it concluded that Acosta exercised 'poor judgment' and relied on a flawed application of federalism principles. Additionally, the report concludes that attorneys did not commit misconduct regarding the lack of victim consultation, citing the interpretation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) at the time.
