The editorial criticizes the secret plea deal between federal prosecutors and Jeffrey Epstein, highlighting how it favored Epstein over his victims. The deal allowed Epstein to plead guilty to lesser charges and serve minimal jail time, while the government attempted to settle with victims for up to $150,000 each without Epstein admitting liability. The editorial questions the accountability of those involved, including R. Alexander Acosta and A. Marie Villafana.
