This article from The Virgin Islands Daily News (reprinted from the Miami Herald) details how federal prosecutors admitted in 2013 to bowing to pressure from Jeffrey Epstein's legal team, led by Kenneth Starr, regarding the non-prosecution agreement and victim notifications. It highlights the disparity between Epstein's lenient treatment—including work release and a private jail section—and the severity of his crimes involving dozens of underage girls. The document also references the 2008 sentencing hearing, the FBI's unfiled 2007 indictment, and the frustrations of local law enforcement officers like Detective Joseph Recarey.
