This document, likely from a House Oversight investigation, details the 2011 fallout where victim Roberts publicly accused Epstein, Dershowitz, and Prince Andrew of sexual abuse. It describes Alexander Acosta's defense of his decision not to prosecute Epstein federally, citing a 'year-long assault' by Epstein's legal team. However, the report notes that documents show prosecutors capitulated to the defense team's demands, abandoning a prepared 53-page indictment from 2007.
