Jeffrey Epstein is a self made businessman that has never been in trouble with the law. He has owned a residence in Palm Beach for over 15 years, and regularly spends the majority of his year in this, the one of many homes. In early 2005, the Palm Beach police department began an investigation in response to a complaint filed by a convicted felon, a father of a local teenager. The investigation was thorough and lasted for over 15 months. It was led by the state sex crimes prosecutor, who interviewed the girls themselves, and concluded that the crime that was committed was no more egregious than solicitation of prostitution. This was confirmed by the return of a grand jury indictment for that very charge. A plea agreement was reached but its implementation was held ready in abeyance due to the initiation of the federal investigation. This should have been the end of the matter, but in a wholly unprecedented move the local police chief, released a letter to the public, along with and the raw allegations contained in police reports to the press. He requested an FBI investigation. The USAO in Miami issued its first subpoena in Aug of 06. After another 15 months of a federal investigation that had at least 75 subpoenas issued, the federal government decided to defer its prosecution, but demanded a list of unprecedented conditions for so doing. They included requiring Mr. Epstein to agree to pay a list of girls, that they refused to name, until he was actually incarcerated, a minimum of 150k each. He would be allowed to only ask them one question "have they ever met Mr. Epstein" as a prerequisite for them receiving payment. They then required him to hire plaintiff's counsel at his expense to represent the girls... the EFTA00304962 first counsel chosen for this highly lucrative position was the best friend of the USAO live in boyfriend. Repeating over and over again that the state process and officials are jokes, Jeffrey Sloman the current first assistant, driving this case also required Mr. Epstein to register as sex offender. This as part of the highly unusual request that Epstein defense team go, themselves, and negotiate a more harsh charge and sentence with the State Attorney, than the state thought and still thinks is appropriate. As recently as last month Mr. Epstein has been served with three 50 million dollar lawsuits, all filed by the former partner of this very same Jeffrey Sloman. As this might be the end of the unusual lengths that the fed has gone through in an attempt to get Mr. Epstein to plea to a state offense, they gave the details of the investigations conclusion, theory of the case, and the details of pleas negotiations to the reporter from the New York Times. In addition they have threatened a fed indictment that would require for the first time a stretch of both the facts and the law, in an attempt to try to encompass Epstein's purely local behavior.
