"We just wanted the guy to go to jail." Epstein was sentenced to just 18 months in the Palm Beach County jail after "pleading guilty to state charges of soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution." He served only 13 months. Epstein was allowed to leave the jail for up to 16 hours a day, six days a week, to work at his office.

Epstein also received a "non-prosecution agreement," granting Epstein and "potential co-conspirators" immunity from federal charges. This ended the ongoing FBI investigation into his sex trafficking operation.

And there was no victim consultation. Acosta violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by failing to consult with Epstein's victims.
