Jeffrey Epstein has one of the most linked-to pages on the entire Pizzagate Wiki, and that's a powerful statement. This weekend I hope to shed some light on this dark corner of justice in the United States, but first I want to share some important notes and reference material with my fellow Voat goats.
I. Jeffrey Epstein was only charged with one count of solicitation of prostitution from a minor.
II. Sex trafficking in the United States is a federal crime not subject to the Statute of Limitations with a minimum of 20 years sentence. It is defined as thus:
Sex trafficking is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, obtaining, patronizing, or soliciting of a person for the purposes of a commercial sex act, in which the commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age (22 USC § 7102).
III. The Non-Prosecution Agreement which Epstein signed for his sentence was illegal under the Criminal Victims Rights Act.(1)
IV. Jeffrey Epstein voided this already-illegal NPA by violating its terms and continuing his abusive behavior of minors after his arrest. (Testimony of Jane Doe 43)
V. Jeffrey Epstein's attorney and one of the main "debunkers" of the victim's claims, Alan Dershowitz, is among the protected co-conspirators and named abusers in several victim testimonies.(2)
VI. Jeffrey Epstein bragged to people close to him about purchasing Nadia Marcinkova, one of the other protected co-conspirators, from Yugoslavia when she was just 15.(3)
VII. It is unprecedented in American history that co-conspirators are included in a single non-prosecution agreement in addition to them being uncharged and completely anonymous.(4)
VIII. Jeffrey Epstein is the self-proclaimed founder of the Clinton Global Initiative, a recently-closed, yet fundamental part of the Clinton Foundation.(5)
IX. Jeffrey Epstein's "fixer" and procurer, Ghislaine Maxwell, coerced at least one underage employee from Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago resort in Palm Beach into a sexual encounter with Epstein.(6)
X. Jeffrey Epstein has around 40 known victims, with the youngest being two 12 year old girls which he had flown in from France.(7)
Here's his ever-growing page on the Pizzagate Wiki: http://pizzagate.wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein
Look forward to a very merry Black Friday. Stay tuned.

What's your basis for # III? That he should have been charged with Federal crimes?
I'm not sure this is as open and shut as you portray it. The prosecutor's argument was that victims were not going to testify. I don't know if that is dubious or not, but I think they prosecutors could argue that getting him convicted and registered as a sex offender helped the victims's civil cases against him and avoided the prospect of a long drawn our trial. The Civil Suit against the Government for Violation of Criminal Victims Rights Act was filed in 2008 and is still pending, I believe, it was definitely still pending last year. That prosecutors argued the were dealt a bad hand and played it as best they could.
Essentially, the CVRA only applies to federal crimes and you have federal crimes if you can prove federal crimes and get a conviction. Given uncertainty in the case and normal prosecutorial leeway in deciding if they can win a conviction, I think it's very unlikely that a judge declares the CVRA was violated.
It's also interesting that you take Epstein's word for VIII.

To be fair trafficking is a federal crime and by all accounts these cases, including the original criminal case, fit the definition provided by U.S. law. Even if victims are hesitant to testify, as they often are in trials involving organized crime, this still doesn't negate the evidence gathered by the Palm Beach Police Department's 11-month investigation which indicate a federal crime indeed took place.
As for #VIII I did note that this is "self-proclaimed". Even if it were a complete lie it's rather peculiar he would make such a claim in the first place. In either case this demonstrates an intimate level of comfort with the Clinton organization which he did maintain regular contact with during his trial. There is at least circumstantial evidence that this connection might have helped with his light sentencing as well (ie. Epstein donated to the Clinton Foundation one month before the NPA was drafted and while he was still under arrest).

Has anyone ever reached out to the author of the book who supposedly wrote a fab expose on Epstein? Publishers told her they were threatened for even receiving the book. Shut down by too many powerful elite who didn't want to be revealed.

Ignore him. He's a known shill. He has no interest in fighting elite pedos, only in defending his ever so precious leftist messiahs.
He gave death threats to a voater by making cryptic references to the Scalia murder and the Arch of Hysteria.

They're at least the most articulate of my Voat nemeses.
Nonetheless, every time a troll gets a bit salty I can't help but feel some satisfaction.

But I'm glad to see you're still around to keep me honest XD
I realize what you're saying about the NPA being difficult to overturn but that won't stop me from at least trying.
