arrest in South Florida two years later on charges of solicit- ing prostitution from a person under age 18. He was sentenced to 18
months in jail but given a “sweetheart deal” that allowed him to serve most of his time in a work-release program, which permitted him to leave the county jail during the day to go to his office and return at night. In 2019, he was arrested
again in New York and charged with federal sex trafficking conspiracy. The FBI seized evi- dence from Epstein’s proper- ties in the U.S. Virgin Islands
and New York. The case drew both national
and international attention, mainly because of disturbing details about child abuse in- volving high-profile individuals who traveled to Epstein’s island via his private jet, nicknamed the “Lolita Express.” Speculation quickly grew
over which powerful figures Epstein might name in hopes of receiving a lighter sentence. But Epstein never had the
opportunity. That same year, on Aug. 10, he was found dead in his cell at the Metropoli- tan Correctional Center — a

June 2008: At the suggestion of the Department of Justice in Washington, Acosta agrees not to prosecute Epstein on federal charges if he pleads guilty to state charges. Epstein is sentenced to 18 months in jail but serves only 13, with the remainder on work-release.
July 2009: Epstein is released from jail. Other Epstein victims fight to get his federal non-prosecution agreement voided. One of his accusers, Virginia Giuffre, says in a lawsuit that when she was 17, Epstein and his girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, set up sexual encounters with royalty, politicians, academicians, businessmen, and other rich and powerful men, including Britain’s Prince Andrew. All the men deny the allegations.
November 2018: With President Trump now in the White House, the Miami Herald revisits the Epstein case, focusing on the plea deal arranged by Acosta, who is now Trump’s labor secretary, sparking renewed public interest in the case.
