This document is an Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report analyzing the government's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, specifically its communication with victims. OPR concludes that while no professional misconduct occurred, there were significant failures, including misleading letters sent by the FBI and poor judgment by State Attorney Acosta in not ensuring victims were notified of a plea hearing. These actions, combined with a lack of transparency, led to victims feeling ignored and frustrated, created a misimpression of collusion with Epstein's counsel, and ultimately damaged public confidence in the Department of Justice.
