Actually DUMBASS, he COMMITTED HIS CRIMES for which he was CHARGED while BUSH was president--and JEB WAS GOVERNOR (1990-2008). Seems like PALM BEACH POLICE didn't like way it was being prosecuted and they SENT IT TO the FEDS. The FEDS then put it in ACOSTA'S hands? Why? TRUST ME, WE ARE MISSING PARTS OF THIS STORY.
NBC News has a copy of that agreement from a civil lawsuit lawsuit, which states that the FBI and U.S. attorney’s office found
that from 2001 to September of 2007 Epstein conspired with others to knowingly persuade or entice minor females to engage
in prostitution, conspired with others to travel minor females across state lines for the purposes of engaging in illicit sexual conduct,
and knowingly recruited or enticed a minor across state lines or across countries so that the person would engage
in a commercial sex act, among other similar charges.
2005: Reported to police by a 14-year-old girl and her parents
The teenager said in March 2005 that she was taken by a peer to Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion, where she says he paid her to give him a massage. An ensuing police investigation signaled that Epstein was in contact with multiple girls, and his staff said the girls visited frequently.
May 2006: Charged with multiple counts of unlawful sex acts with a minor
The state attorney at the time, Barry Krischer, referred the case to a grand jury. A grand jury heard from just two of the dozen-plus girls law enforcement had gathered as witnesses, the Miami Herald reported, and returned an indictment of one count of soliciting prostitution.
July 2006: Referred to the FBI for investigation
Under pressure from Palm Beach police, who were unhappy with the state’s handling of its case against Epstein, the FBI launched its own investigation.
2007: Floats a plea deal with Acosta, the U.S. attorney in Miami at the time
As the U.S. attorney’s office prepared a 53-page indictment in June, the Miami Herald reported, Epstein’s attorneys began speaking about a potential plea deal for their client. In October, Acosta and one attorney for Epstein tentatively agreed at a West Palm Beach Marriott meeting to a deal in which Epstein would plead guilty to two felony prostitution charges. Stunningly, the victims would also not be notified of the agreement and all grand jury subpoenas would be voided, according to the newspaper.
June 2008: Appears in court to plead guilty on two lesser counts and sentenced to a cushy 18 months in jail
Emails obtained by the Miami Herald show that, during months of back-and-forth negotiations between Epstein’s attorneys and Acosta’s office, Acosta continually caved to the businessman’s demands. Finally, Acosta signed off on a non-prosecution agreement that was “negotiated, signed and sealed so that no one would know the full scope of Epstein’s crimes,” the Herald stated.
Epstein appeared in a Palm Beach County courtroom on June 30, 2008, with none of his accusers present. He was required to register as a sex offender and report to jail.
The Miami Herald also noted that Epstein began the process of settling “at least a dozen” other lawsuits out of court around this time.
July 2008: Accusers learn about secret plea deal
The women promptly begin the very lengthy process of challenging it in court.
