"Maybe he can make a living representing perverts."





Alex Acosta, you made a mockery of Florida’s sex offender laws. It’s time to resign.
BY FABIOLA SANTIAGO

FSANTIAGO@MIAMIHERALD.COM

....

When the allegations of sex abuse came to light in 2005, the Palm Beach police did its job, taking the investigation seriously and culling enough evidence that should have put Epstein behind bars for life. The FBI, too, joined the probe after police learned that what was essentially a human trafficking ring extended beyond Florida.

But while Epstein’s wounded victims struggle with the guilt and shame of what happened to them, he’s is a free man, thanks to the deal carved out in secret by Acosta that allowed Epstein to serve a mere 13 months in prison, sealed documents so that what happened wouldn’t be public record, and shut down the FBI investigation.

....

It’s perfectly in character for Trump, who also stands accused by a dozen women of sexual harassment and assault, to overlook that Acosta let a serial sexual predator of teen girls get away with a slap on the wrist and concealment of the case.

....

He should be forced to resign from his Cabinet post.

Maybe he can make a living representing perverts.

But Congress should have known better than to confirm Acosta to a job that entails pursuing human trafficking cases. The sweetheart deal — an utter disregard for the severity of the abuse these girls suffered — should have disqualified Acosta from serving in the administration.


So many are in Epstein’s little black book ... including Kenneth Starr.
