Actually, Alex Acosta is the hero of the Jeffrey Epstein story, according to Alex Acosta
, claiming he intervened to ensure a harsher sentence for Epstein and pointing fingers at other officials for being too lenient.
Since Epstein was arrested on charges of trafficking dozens of underage girls for sex, Acosta has come under fire for offering Epstein a cozy deal to skirt federal prosecution in 2007, when Acosta was the U.S. attorney in Miami and Epstein was staring down the prospect of a lengthy FBI sex crimes indictment that could have sent him away for life. Epstein wound up serving only 13 months in a cushy Palm Beach jail, and the deal was kept secret from Epstein’s alleged victims.
He deflected blame once again when addressing why Epstein’s alleged victims were not notified of the plea deal. REPORTER: A federal judge ruled that you broke federal law by not letting victims weigh in on the plea deal you struck with Epstein. Would you do it differently?
