Epstein. Included pleadings, orders, hearing transcripts, and sealed filings that were made available publicly for the first time.

Transcript of former U.S. Attorney and Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta's appearance before the House Oversight Committee. Acosta was questioned about his decision to offer Epstein the non-prosecution agreement in 2007, his interactions with Epstein's defense team, and the controversial terms of the plea deal including co-conspirator immunity.

Florida judge ordered the release of grand jury records from the 2006 Epstein investigation in Palm Beach County. The transcripts revealed that prosecutors presented only one witness to the grand jury despite having identified over 30 victims. The grand jury returned only a single charge of soliciting prostitution, which critics argued was inadequate given the evidence.

The Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report concluded that former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta exercised 'poor judgment' in negotiating the 2007 non-prosecution agreement with Epstein. However, the report found no professional misconduct. It criticized the premature resolution before the investigation was complete, noting additional victims were still being identified when the deal was struck.

The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that federal prosecutors violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by failing to confer with Epstein's victims before entering the non-prosecution agreement. However, the court declined to rescind the NPA, finding that the appropriate remedy would come from the district court. The opinion detailed the secretive nature of the plea negotiations.

Jane Doe victims filed suit challenging the non-prosecution agreement under the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), arguing federal prosecutors violated their rights by failing to consult with victims before agreeing to the deal. The case ultimately led to a ruling that the government had violated the CVRA, though the NPA was not rescinded.

Two of Epstein's victims, identified as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2, filed a motion under the Crime Victims' Rights Act challenging the secrecy of the non-prosecution agreement. They argued that federal prosecutors were required to confer with them before entering the deal and that the NPA's confidentiality provision was improper.

Epstein pleaded guilty in Palm Beach County Circuit Court to two Florida state charges: one count of solicitation of prostitution and one count of procurement of minors for prostitution. He was sentenced to 18 months in the Palm Beach County Stockade with work release privileges, and required to register as a sex offender.

The formal plea agreement between Jeffrey Epstein and the State of Florida. Epstein agreed to plead guilty to solicitation of prostitution and procurement of a person under 18 for prostitution. The agreement provided for 18 months in county jail with liberal work-release provisions. Epstein ultimately served approximately 13 months under a work-release arrangement that allowed him to leave the facility for up to 12 hours per day.

The controversial non-prosecution agreement between the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida and Jeffrey Epstein. Signed by U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, the NPA deferred federal prosecution in favor of state charges. Critically, it contained a confidentiality clause and granted immunity to unnamed co-conspirators. The deal was later found to violate the Crime Victims' Rights Act.

The specific provisions of the NPA granting immunity to unnamed co-conspirators and requiring confidentiality of the agreement. The clause stated that the parties 'anticipate that this agreement will not be made part of any public record' and that any FOIA request would trigger notice to Epstein before disclosure. This provision was later found to have violated victims' rights.
