STRANGER CASE BYLINE MICHELE DARGAN MICHELE DARGAN Daily News Staff Writer BODY Page Sex offender Jeffrey Epstein could have been charged with multiple counts of five federal offenses involving sex acts with minors and faced a life sentence but instead the government agreed not to prosecute him or his procurers if he spent months in the cowity jail on two state charges Those were the details wisealed Friday in a nine.page federal non prosecution agreement that lets Epstein and co-conspirators Sarah Kellen Adriana Ross Lesley Groff and Nadia Marcinlcova off the hook for any of those past crimes He could have gone to prison for life and somehow hes getting immunity in exchange for nothing said Fort Lauderdale attorney Brad Edwards who represents three Epstein victims I have never seen a stranger case To me its more spectacular whats not in it Its the U.S Attorneys Office saying well do everything in our power to see he doesnt get punished Edwards has been fighting for a year in federal and state court to unseal the agreement The non 225prosecution agreement raises more questions than it answers said Miami attorney Adam Horowitz who represents seven victims Why did all the co-conspirators receive immunity Why were the victims not consulted re garding the sentence Why did he receive such a minimal sentence The federal deal has remained sealed in Epsteins state court file since he pleaded guilty in Jwie to state charges of procuring a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution U.S Attorneys Office docs not comment The federal charges he could have faced were conspiracy to persuade minor females to engage in prostitution conspiracy to travel to engage in illicit sexual conduct with minor females persuading minor females to engage in pros titution traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with minor females and causing a person under years to engage in sex for money while knowing they are underage The charges carry various statutory penalities ranging from years to life with a minimum mandatory of at least years Alicia Valle spokeswoman for the U.S Attorneys Office in Miami declined comment Expert Feds take few sex-assault cases Case Document Entered on FLSD Docket Page of Page ATTORNEY FOR EPSTEIN VICTIMS I HA VE NEVER SEEN A STRANGER CASE Palm Beach Daily News September Sunday North Palm Beach criminal defense attorney Barry Maxwell said he is not surprised that federal charges werent filed My e:itperience has been that the federal government does not intervene in sex-assault cases except if were deal ing with a serial rapist or it crosses jurisdictional lines Maxwell said Its eithernot a big enough case or not atrocious enough for them Epstein served months of his IS-month sentence at the Palm Beach County Stockade and received liberal work-release privileges while in jail He was able to go to his West Palm Beach office six days a week for up to hours a day He is now serving one year of probation at his Palm Beach mansion and is registered as a lifelong se:it offender Epstein fully abided by deal says defense Epsteins attorney Jack Goldberger released the following statement This document relates to allegations that were made many years ago It was by its provisions and agreement of the parties to remain confidential in part to protect the identities of collateral third parties Mr Epstein has fully abided by all of its terms and conditions He is looking forward to putting this difficult peri od of his life behind him He is continuing his longstanding historY of science philanthropy both here in South Florida and nationwide Goldberger had blocked the unsealing by filing court papers asking that the documents stay sealed to prevent a se rious imminent threat to the fair impartial and orderly administration of justice to protect a compelling government interest to avoid substantial injury to innocent third parties and to avoid substantial injury to a party by disclosure of matters protected by a common law and privacy right not generally inherent in these specific type of proceedings sought to be closed Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath ordered the agreement to be unsealed in June but Epsteins attorneys appealed the ruling to the Fourth District Court of Appeals which affirmed Colbaths ruling Colbath had ruled that the federal agreement sealed in state court was improperly sealed felt it was my fault More than a dozen lawsuits against the billionaire money manager have been filed in federal and state court all with similar allegations that a minor girl was taken to Epsteins mansion on El Brillo Way and led upstairs to a spa room by one of Epsteins assistants where he would ask the girl to perform massages and/or various sex acts for which he would pay her One victim who is known as Jane Doe in a federal court lawsuit against Epstein said she didnt find out about the deal until after it was finalized She was at the time one of her schoolmates told her she could make by giv ing a massage to a man in Palm Beach She says she was nervous and scared and wanted to leave once she got to Epsteins spa room I thought I cant call my dad or my mom because Im stuck in this situation and didnt know what to do she said really didnt know what this man was capable of For a long time I felt like it was my fault and thats exactly what he wanted me to feel Epstein has curfew While he is serving the months of house arrest at his Palm Beach home Epstein must observe a IO p.m to a.m curfew have no unsupervised contact with anyone younger than and not view own or possess pornographic or sexual materials The indictment followed an I I-month investigation by Palm Beach police who said Epstein paid five underage girls for massages and sometimes sex at his El Brillo Way home Then-State Attorney Barry Krischer declined to pros ecute Epstein on multiple charges involving unlawful sex acts with minors Instead he brought the case to a grand jufY which charged Epstein on the lesser charge of soliciting prostitution Then-Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter wrote Krischer a letter asking him to recuse himself from the case When that didnt happen Reiter requested an FBI investigation to determine if any federal laws were broken Case Document Entered on FLSD Docket Page of Page ATTORNEY FOR EPSTEIN VICTIMS I HAVE NEVER SEEN A STRANGER CASE Palm Beach Daily News September Sunday Out of the ordinary West Palm Beach criminal defense attorney Gregg Lerman said several aspects of the Epstein case arc unusual I dont understand why it would be a federal case in this circumstance and why was there anything in writing at all and why did they seal the agreement Lerman said Why did it go to the grand jury instead of through the state filing lewd assault charges Thats unusual And its very unusual that they structure a plea to get county time rather than prison time Thats definitely out of the ordinary Nobody goes to county jail as a state criminal
