This document is an excerpt from a report by the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) analyzing Acosta's handling of the Epstein case. It criticizes Acosta's decision-making regarding Epstein's plea agreement, which resulted in a reduced sentence of 13 months served, and his failure to pursue computer evidence. OPR concluded that Acosta had a greater obligation to understand the implications of his actions in resolving the federal investigation.
