Alexander Acosta [4]
In 2007–2008, as U.S. Attorney, Acosta worked out a plea deal with defense lawyer Jay Lefkowitz, in which Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to a state charge of solicitation for the purposes of prostitution involving a 14-year-old girl, a deal which required he register as a category sex offender and pay restitution to victims as part of a federal non-prosecution agreement. The prosecutors had identified 36 victims of Epstein, most of them having no prior knowledge of the agreement and no opportunity to give input. The deal has been the subject of long-term criticism by the Miami Herald and others.
In February 2019, "a federal judge ruled that the prosecutors working the case broke the law by not notifying Epstein’s victims that they were cutting him a plea deal."[5]
Resignation
Acosta's involvement in the Epstein plea deal received renewed scrutiny following Epstein's arrest in July 2019, on new child prostitution charges. Acosta resigned as US Secretary of Labor on July 19, 2019.
