Ah, I see you missed one of the major events in this saga. One of the victims filed a federal lawsuit under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act, saying she and other victims were not informed that the Epstein case was being resolved with a plea deal, as required by law. This was a sealed agreement made via the U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta that seemed to specifically be intended to prevent the victims from knowing about the NPA (Non-Prosecution Agreement). In 2019, a judge ruled in their favor.

And that is NOT the fault of Epstein. He upheld his end of the bargain and if the prosecutor did something underhanded that is not Epstein’s fault. The agreement should have been honored. Look at the Smollet and Cosby cases. But imagine if it was the way you wanted. All the prosecution has to do is break some rules on their end just so they can invalidate any deals made to the defense. Who would make deals then? They typically give immunity to secure convictions and this would make it impossible.
