Alex Acosta, you made a mockery of Floridas sex offender laws. Its 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 Epsteins wounded victims struggle with the guilt and shame of what happened to them, hes 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 wouldnt be public record, and shut down the FBI investigation.
....
Its 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.

I feel there are many powerful and "important" people caught up in this, and that is why it's buried

Called him up and said, "Hey you remember that Epstein business I buried for you? Guess what ... time to pay up! Labor Secretary will do!"

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 Epsteins little black book ... including Kenneth Starr.
