9. Epstein was 1st prosecuted in Miami,

4 victims filed charges for sex trafficking. The prosecutor was Alexander Acosta, who later became Krasnov's secretary of labor.

Acosta negotiated a plea deal with Epstein, without consulting with his 4 clients. The plea deal was Epstein pleaded guilty to solicitation instead of sex trafficking. One of his victims filed an appeal that she was never consulted, a 3 judge panel voted 2-1 that the deal could go through, which was a travesty.

Epstein was sentenced to 13 months in prison and he was released from prison during the day and had to pay 40 of his victims money.

That's just the Florida Epstein prosecution and that was an abomination.
