Why Alex Acosta Let Jeffrey Epstein Walk Free: The 2007 Case That Should Have Been
The recently released 2007 draft federal indictment against Jeffrey Epstein reveals the full scope of charges that were prepared but never filed. The 56-page document outlined 32 felony counts involving 19 girls under the age of 18, spanning a six-year period from 2001 to 2007. The charges included conspiracy to defraud the United States, sex trafficking of minors, enticement of a minor, and facilitating unlawful travel for illicit sex acts. Twenty-five of these counts carried potential life sentences with mandatory minimums between 10 and 15 years.
Federal prosecutors in West Palm Beach had assembled exhaustive evidence and prepared an 82-page prosecution memo to support the indictment. Instead of facing these charges, Epstein's high-priced legal team, including Ken Starr and Alan Dershowitz, negotiated a plea deal with US Attorney Alex Acosta that allowed Epstein to plead guilty to just two state charges. He served only 13 months in county jail with work release privileges, leaving the facility daily to work from his office. The draft indictment details how Epstein targeted vulnerable teenage girls, many from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and operated a systematic sex trafficking operation with the assistance of employees whose names remain redacted.
The document reveals threats made to victims and a pattern of abuse that could have resulted in over 100 years of prison time if prosecuted. Hawk examines the legal framework, the specific charges, and the failure of justice that allowed Epstein to continue abusing minors for another 11 years until his 2019 arrest and death.
