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.

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.
