Freedom rings for creepy bizman Jeffrey Epstein
Posted By Jose Lambiet On July 21, 2009 @ 7:55 am In Breaking News, Island's Finest, Polls,
Scandals, West Palm Beach I 3 Comments
Epstein's booking mug
Pen Wall Street financier Jeffrey Epstein is scheduled to be released from the main Palm
Beach County jail at dawn Wednesday.
That's six months before the end of his 18-month sentence.
The billionaire friend of former Prez Bill Clinton then has 48 hours to register as a sex offender
at his $10 million-home on Palm Beach's El Brillo Way. Even more humiliating for the high -
finance whir, he's required to give up a saliva DNA sample for the state's database.
The 56-year-old then will be on probation for a year and will have to contact his probation
officer weekly, according to county records.
"He'll be released like everybody else," a jail source said. "He was sleeping at the stockade
(near the fair grounds at the western edge of West Palm Beach) but we brought him back to the
main jail for the paperwork."
Accused of a plethora of sexual shenanigans with underage hookers, Epstein was the target of
an 11-month investigation by Palm Beach Police in 2005-06. Detectives even went trash-diving
for evidence that Epstein routinely received young girls, some as young as 14, in his home for
sex.
But with a dream-team of lawyers that included Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz and Ken
Starr, a key figure in the Monica Lewinsky case against Clinton, the case dragged on for
nearly two years as the then-State Attorney Barry Krischer seemed unsure what to do.

In time, with the feds breathing down Krischer's neck, he and Epstein's lawyers worked out a
deal that would keep him from serving hard time. He pleaded guilty to two felony counts:
procuring a minor and prostitution solicitation.
Sporting an ankle bracelet, Epstein actually has been going to his office during business hours
since October, and spent nights and weekends at the stockade.
He could have been sentenced to five years in prison.

You're looking at what Palm Beach money manager Jeffrey Epstein's dream team of lawyers,
which included Harvard prof Alan Dershowitz and Monica Lewinsky scandal figure Ken
Starr, feared the most! They didn't want Epstein, who pleaded guilty to two felony prostitution
charges and was released from tail Wednesday after serving one year, to be labelled a sex
offender by the state. Well, they couldn't win everything. Epstein is now in the Florida
Department of Law Enforcement's sex offender database. It can be accessed
at http://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/offenderSearchNay.do (1). And whoever signs up
here [ 2 ] will be notified each time Epstein registers to an address other than his current Brill()
Way digs. Epstein was accused of paying suburban girls from low-Income families, some as
young as 14, to watch them have sex or partake.

Appeals Court halts release of Epstein documents
By WILLIAM KELLY
Daily News Staff Writer
Wednesday. July 01. 2009
The Fourth District Court of Appeal has agreed to Jeffrey Epstein's request to halt the
impending release of his non-prosecution agreement with the federal government.
Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath had ordered the release of the documents at noon today. The
documents were sealed in state court last year when Epstein. a convicted sex offender and
billionaire financier. pleaded guilty to two felony charges. Colbrath ruled proper procedures
weren't followed in sealing the documents.
Now the decision whether to make them public is in the hands of the appellate court, which
has given attorneys on both sides of the case a total of 20 days to present their arguments.
Epstein's appellate lawyer. Jane Kreusler-Walsh. made an emergency request Wednesday
that the appellate court annul the lower court order, saying release of the agreement would
cause irreparable harm to her client.
Attorneys for women suing Epstein, and a lawyer for The Palm Beach Post, have argued that
the public and media should have access to the information and that the victims should be
able to use it in their lawsuits.
Krcuslcr Walsh would not comment on the Fourth District's order.
But Spencer Kuvin. a lawyer for one of the victims, called the decision "frustrating."
"The rules shouldn't be different for rich people than they are for poor people," Kuvin said.
"Had Epstein been a regular citizen, and not a billionaire. this document would have been
made public a long time ago."
Epstein pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution and procuring teenagers for prostitution.
He was sentenced to 18 months incarceration, but is due to get out five months early, on July
22.
State and federal authorities said Epstein paid teenage girls for massages and sometimes
sex at his Palm Beach home.

Palm Beach Post Editorial
Tuesday, September 22, 2009
On the second page of the secret deal between federal prosecutors and Jeffrey
Epstein, we read that the agreement will serve the interests of "the United States, the
State of Florida, and the Defendant." Wrong on the first two, right on the third.
Until Friday, the public didn't know the terms of the deal that finalized the case of
the Palm Beacher who arranged to have girls brought to his house for sex and
massages. Only Epstein's platoon of lawyers, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the
Southern District of Florida and the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office knew the details. And
now we know why the perpetrators of this outrage didn't want the public to know.
The deal is an indictment of a system that did much more for a criminal than
Post your for his victims. Jeffrey Epstein - officially a registered sex offender but in
comments plain terms a pervert - escaped what should have been serious prison time.

Meanwhile, the government tried to help Epstein buy off the young girls

The agreement thus placed the Department of Justice in a role similar to those of the four women who
procured girls for Epstein. If there's a precedent in this or any of the other 92 United States attorney's
offices, we'd like to hear it. Not surprisingly, R. Alexander Acosta also agreed not to prosecute those
women.
If the outcome is frustrating, so is the lack of accountability. Mr. Acosta's name is on the deal, but he's
now the dean of Florida International University's law school. A call to his office for comment Monday

was not returned. The name of Assistant U.S. Attorney A. Marie Villafana is on the deal. She still works
as a federal prosecutor in West Palm Beach, but Alicia Valle, the office's special counsel, said in an e-
mail, "We cannot comment on your questions." Didn't she really mean will not?
This case got into the federal system because former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter believed
that Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer wasn't moving aggressively enough. Mr.
Krischer retired last year. The assistant state attorney who oversaw the case is no longer with the office.
At this point, the public must hope that the civil suits suck as much money from Epstein as possible.
Money seems to be all that he understands. Also, Jeffrey Sloman is serving as the acting U.S. attorney
for the Southern District of Florida until President Obama nominates a permanent replacement for
confirmation by the Senate. It would be good to know that whoever follows Mr. Acosta is on record that
the Jeffrey Epstein deal did not serve the interests of the United States.

Palm Beach sex offender Jeffrey Epstein fined for walking out of deposition
By MICHELE DARGAN
Daily News Staff Writer
Monday, September 14, 2009
Circuit Judge Donald Hafele sanctioned billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein $800
Wednesday for walking out of a deposition during questioning about the shape of his penis.
Epstein's attorneys ended the Sept. 2 deposition when opposing attorney Spencer Kuvin
asked the question immediately after Epstein stated his name. Kuvin represents B.B., an
underage victim of Epstein's alleged sexual abuse.
Hafele said Wednesday that Kuvin may ask questions in whatever order he wants and the
attorneys can either object or Epstein can invoke his Fifth Amendment right.
The judge ordered that the deposition be reset.
Epstein, of Palm Beach, served 13 months of an 18-month felony sentence for procuring a
minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution. Now serving one-year of probation in his Palm
Beach mansion, Epstein is being sued by more than a dozen young women who were minors
at the time they were allegedly sexually abused by Epstein.

Jeffrey Epstein case a miserable failure for justice system
Friday, September 25, 2009
Jeffrey Epstein is a registered sex offender. That's it. We need know nothing more about this man. His
actions were base, ignoble and prurient.
He has never shown a scintilla of remorse for his offenses against young girls. (Not women, girls.) Civil
society should shun him. Keep your children away. This is your civic duty.
Our elected and appointed prosecutors, armed with the immeasurable resources they can bring to a
case, failed when they cut Mr. Epstein's deal and set him loose on society.
Don't believe for a moment that he served real time: a work-release program permitted him to walk out
of the Palm Beach County Stockade six of every seven days during his sentence. And because he was
on work release he was awarded gain time, reducing the 18 months to 13. That is a crime.
While his deal with prosecutors, made public about a week ago, is silent on this matter, rumor has it
Mr. Epstein is helping the feds. The talk runs the gamut: he may be talking to the FBI, IRS or SEC,
unraveling a major Ponzi scheme, or testifying against a highly placed elected official.
But even if this is true, it wouldn't make up for what he did to his victims. Even if he were now helping
the country find Osama Bin Laden, Mr. Epstein's punishment should have been much more harsh.
Former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter and his department stand alone in trying to uphold
justice in this case. Without their dogged pursuit of the evidence and Mr. Reiter's push for Mr. Epstein's
prosecution, he could still be plying his sexually deviant behavior with impunity.
Read all the public documents in Mr. Epstein's criminal case. Then, when you are thoroughly
disgusted, let the officials know they did a horrific job in protecting children. Yes, children.
It was their civic duty, but they failed.

Jeffrey Epstein case a miserable failure for justice system
Friday, September 25, 2009
Jeffrey Epstein is a registered sex offender. That's it. We need know nothing more about this man. His
actions were base, ignoble and prurient.
He has never shown a scintilla of remorse for his offenses against young girls. (Not women, girls.) Civil
society should shun him. Keep your children away. This is your civic duty.
Our elected and appointed prosecutors, armed with the immeasurable resources they can bring to a
case, failed when they cut Mr. Epstein's deal and set him loose on society.
Don't believe for a moment that he served real time: a work-release program permitted him to walk out
of the Palm Beach County Stockade six of every seven days during his sentence. And because he was
on work release he was awarded gain time, reducing the 18 months to 13. That is a crime.
