Yesterday, I provided you with the name and phone number for OPR Acting Associate Counsel, who received your December 10, 2010 letter to Mr. Ferrer, asking for an investigation of the Jeffrey Epstein prosecution. 2. The government will not be making initial disclosures to plaintiffs, because we do not believe Fed.R.Civ.P. 26 applies to this matter. 3.

Palm Beach Post editorials cite Jeffrey Epstein's alleged recruitment of underage girls and his legal team’s involvement

Palm Beach Post editorials cite Jeffrey Epstein's alleged recruitment of underage girls and his legal team’s involvement The passage links high‑profile figures (Jeffrey Epstein, Alan Dershowitz, Kenneth Starr, Jack Goldberger) to alleged sexual exploitation of minors and suggests possible obstruction via a powerful legal team. It provides specific dates, alleged actions, and mentions lawsuits, offering concrete leads for further investigation (e.g., subpoena of attorney communications, review of police search evidence). While many details are already public, the editorial context adds new angles on legal strategy and potential financial motives. Key insights: Epstein allegedly used MySpace to recruit a 13‑year‑old and other minors.; Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz and former prosecutor Kenneth Starr were on Epstein’s legal team.; Jack Goldberger reportedly told a columnist the case would end without trial within two months.

Kirkland & Ellis Letter (June 19, 2008) from Kenneth Starr urging DOJ Deputy Attorney General to halt federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein The document provides a detailed, contemporaneous account of alleged prosecutorial misconduct, a violated Non‑Prosecution Agreement, and mentions high‑level officials (Deputy Attorney General, Assistant U.S. Attorneys, former President Bill Clinton) that could be pursued for further investigation.

Key insights: Letter dated June 19, 2008 from Kenneth W. Starr (Kirkland & Ellis) to Deputy Attorney General John Roth.; Claims that the federal grand jury investigation was re‑started in violation of a September 24, 2007 Non‑Prosecution Agreement with Epstein.; Alleges misconduct by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Villafana and Sloman, including alleged self‑dealing and conflict‑of‑interest.
