Yes, I "think" I read once that the reason he got such a light sentence is because he agreed to work for some gov't (CIA or MOSSAD) to photograph everyone who visits the island in compromising photos, in order to later black mail them.  Or maybe he was already working for the CIA or MOSSAD, and thus that is why he got just a wrist slap. I also read that his case (light sentencing) got approved at the highest levels of the Dept of Justice. The International Business Times reported that papers filed in a 2006 lawsuit alleged that Epstein installed concealed cameras in numerous places on his property to record sexual activity with underage girls by prominent people for criminal purposes, such as blackmail.[15] Epstein allegedly "loaned" girls to powerful people to ingratiate himself with them and also to gain possible blackmail information.[8 The investigation resulted in a 53-page federal indictment. Alexander Acosta, then the U.S. attorney for South Florida, agreed to a plea deal in which the government agreed to grant immunity from all federal criminal charges to Epstein, along with four co-conspirators and any unnamed “potential co-conspirators”. The deal halted the investigation and sealed the indictment. Epstein agreed to plead guilty to state prostitution charges, register as a sex offender, and pay restitution to three dozen victims identified by the FBI.[16] The Guardian said, "Despite this, the US government eventually agreed to allow Epstein to plead guilty to just one count of soliciting prostitution from an underage girl under Florida state law. ... Epstein agreed not to contest civil claims brought by the 40 women identified by the FBI, but escaped a prosecution that could have seen him jailed for the rest of his life."[8] In May 2006, Palm Beach police filed a probable cause affidavit saying that Epstein should be charged with four counts of unlawful sex with minors and one molestation count.[13] His team of defense lawyers included Gerald Lefcourt, Alan Dershowitz, and later Ken Starr. The immunity agreement and his lenient treatment were the subject of ongoing controversy. The Palm Beach police chief accused the state of giving him preferential treatment,[10] and the Miami Herald said U.S. Attorney Acosta gave Epstein "the deal of a lifetime". On June 18, 2010, Epstein's former house manager, Alfredo Rodriguez, was sentenced to 18 months' incarceration after being convicted on an obstruction charge for failing to turn over to police, and subsequently trying to sell, a journal in which he had recorded Epstein's activities. FBI Special Agent Christina Pryor reviewed the material and agreed it was information "that would have been extremely useful in investigating and prosecuting the case, including names and contact information of material witnesses and additional victims".[27][28] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein  He grew up on Coney Island, NY, and his father worked for Park Services (so no inherited money).  Epstein had no college Education, yet he is worth Millions, possibly Billions.  He owns the largest home in Manhattan on Fifth Avenue a ranch in New Mexico, a Paris Condo, and of course Epstein Private Island.  So where did he get all of his money????  Sex Trafficking???  Working for MOSSAD???  Jeffrey Epstein sexual perversion case. A pervert he clearly is, yet what was the basis of this perversion? After all, he had his own ‘island’ and jet. Yet, no one could document the source of his purported vast wealth, apparently, billions? He didn’t have an obvious job as a major executive. Nor is he the owner and operator of major, money-earning corporations. He was obviously placed in this position by arch-Zionist operatives for a specific purpose, surely to satisfy their perverse fetishes but for a greater scheme yet, which is the means to compromise the great ones of the land. https: // sites. google.com /site/ nocancerfoundation/jeffrey-epstein The purpose of this arch-criminal mind was to act as a compromising agent, where he would solicit the most influential and powerful people in the land to participate in illicit sex acts. In this way the Zionists could continue to control the fabric of the global politics, all on behalf of their arch-vile, hedonistic schemes, including the continued and arbitrary expansion of the Zionist entity. As well, by soliciting and inducing others he was able to achieve a kind of self-protection for his own wretchedness: his own acts of perversion. The criminal clique used as its operations an island resort in the Caribbean known descriptively as Pedophile Island. In fact, direly, the entire island was/is dedicated to this criminal, vile plot. It is, no doubt, a Mossad plot to compromise the most powerful people in the land, all on behalf of arch-Zionist machinations. “Epstein got his start when Lesley Wexner, the Limited department store tycoon, took him under his wing and showed him the ropes, so to speak. Needless to say, there were a hell of a lot of rumors flying around about the tutelage, but what is certain is that Epstein ended up becoming a multi-billionaire financial adviser and close friend to Bill Clinton and Ghislaine Maxwell.” NOTE: Wexner is an extremist arch-Zionist Jew, as is Maxwell, the daughter of Mossad operative and fake suicide mole, Robert Maxwell. This proves that the entire operation is a Zionist one, make no mistake about it. Back to the Gawker article:... Mossad agent Maxwell likely began aiding and funding this compromising sexual perversion ring through his new identity and his massive ill-gotten gains. In this now proven pedophile ring operated at least superficially by Epstein there are number of other co-conspirators. These co-conspirators and collaborators are in such high positions that, now, there is a massive cover-up mode in place. This is to protect people at the highest level, not only in the Zionist strip but also in Europe, England, and the United States: Jeffrey Epstein: Prince Andrew’s paedo billionaire pal ‘tried to stop girls he abused talking to FBI’ https: // sites. google.com /site/ nocancerfoundation/jeffrey-epstein  The Evidence for Jeffrey Epstein’s Mossad Connection http://theconsciousresistance.com/2019/02/the-evidence-for-jeffrey-epsteins-mossad-connection/
