Event Details

This document is an internal DOJ/USANYS email circulating a Daily Beast article titled 'Manhattan D.A. Cy Vance Finally Got Harvey Weinstein, but He’s Still Letting Women Down.' The article critically examines Vance's history of leniency toward powerful men accused of sex crimes, specifically detailing the plea deal given to Dr. Robert Hadden and the failure to prosecute Harvey Weinstein in 2015. Crucially, it mentions that the same assistant DA who handled the Hadden case had also attempted to downgrade Jeffrey Epstein's sex offender status in 2011.
