The Epstein Case in 2007
In 2007, the non-prosecution agreement between Epstein and federal prosecutors was finalized under U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta. The NPA granted immunity not only to Epstein but to unnamed co-conspirators, a provision that drew intense criticism. Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges and was sentenced to 18 months in a county jail with work release privileges. Documents from 2007 include the NPA itself, plea agreements, and correspondence between attorneys.
