Event Details

This document is an executive summary of a Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) investigation into the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida (USAO) in 2007-2008. It outlines the factual background, starting with the 2005 Palm Beach Police Department investigation, the subsequent state indictment, and the referral to federal authorities. The summary details how the federal investigation led to a controversial non-prosecution agreement (NPA) signed on September 24, 2007, and notes that the OPR also investigated whether prosecutors committed misconduct by failing to consult with or misleading victims.
