• An appellate brief from the Manhattan District Attorney's office has revealed details about Jeffery Epstein's 2011 sex offender in hearing
• It claims that then-Deputy Chief of Sex Crimes Jennifer Gaffney, was given a state assessment which deemed him to be highly dangerous
• The assessment indicated that Epstein should be labeled as level three offender, the most restrictive category meant for the most dangerous individuals
• Gaffney argued for him to be classified as level one offender, the least restrictive
• Epstein ultimately received a level three designation after Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Ruth Pickholz deviated from Gaffney's recommendation
• At least 40 women have alleged that they were abused by Epstein, who is friends with President Trump and has donated millions to the Clintons

The Manhattan District Attorney's office was allegedly aware of graphic and detailed evidence against Florida financier and accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein when a prosecutor argued for leniency during his 2011 sex offender registry hearing.

A newly-unsealed brief obtained by The New York Post on Thursday revealed that prior to that hearing, then-deputy chief of Sex Crimes, Jennifer Gaffney, was provided with a confidential state assessment which deemed Epstein to be highly dangerous and likely to continue preying on young girls.

Even though the assessment indicated that Epstein should be labeled as a level three offender, the most restrictive category meant for the most dangerous individuals, Gaffney argued for him to be classified as a level one offender, the least restrictive.

The DA's office reportedly admitted as much eight months after the hearing in its own appellate brief, which The Post sued to unseal.
