This document provides an overview of the initial investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, starting with a 2005 complaint to the Palm Beach Police Department. It details how the local investigation led to a state grand jury indictment in 2006, and subsequently, dissatisfaction with state handling prompted a referral to the FBI. An Assistant U.S. Attorney, with knowledge from U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta, then worked with FBI agents to build a federal case, discovering more victims and drafting a 60-count indictment by May 2007.
