This letter, written by Gerald B. Lefcourt and Alan Dershowitz, serves as a legal argument against the applicability of 18 U.S.C. §2422(b) to Jeffrey Epstein's case. It argues that the statute, which addresses online enticement of children, does not apply to Epstein's actions as they did not involve the use of the internet or other means of interstate commerce to persuade minors. The letter also highlights Epstein's philanthropic activities and personal background as reasons for discretion in prosecution.
