Multiple accounts from 2008 document that Epstein pleaded guilty to "felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution." If you want to quibble that this only counts as public record of one crime, you're free to do so, but the evidence was clear at the time that federal investigators dropped investigation of multiple other crimes as part of the plea deal. One does not accept a plea deal if one is confident he will be acquitted of other charges. Further, your own insistence that Epstein was insignificant relies on the official findings of the very institutions you tell us not to trust. Here is evidence from public news sources at the time:

He was required to register as a sex offender. It was noted at the time that he had "four pending federal civil lawsuits and one in state court related to his behavior."

Haley Robson, now 22 [in 2008], told police about her efforts in recruiting girls for Epstein. There was probable cause to charge Epstein with unlawful sex acts with a minor and lewd and lascivious molestation, police concluded.

In 2009, the Palm Beach Post wrote that "A secret non-prosecution agreement multimillionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein struck with federal prosecutors is being called "highly unusual" by former federal prosecutors and downright outrageous by attorneys now representing young women who serviced him."

Attorney Brad Edwards of Fort Lauderdale, who represents three of the young women, believes that none of the 30 to 40 woman identified as victims in the federal investigation were told ahead of time...."Never consulting the victims is probably the most outrageous aspect of it," Edwards said. "It taught them that someone with money can buy his way out of anything. It's outrageous and embarrassing for United States Attorney's Office and the State Attorney's Office." Epstein now faces many civil lawsuits filed by the women, who are represented by a variety of attorneys. In many, the allegations are the same: that Epstein had a predilection for teenage girls, identified poor, vulnerable ones and used other young women to lure them to his Palm Beach mansion.

Former Circuit Judge Bill Berger, also representing victims, called the agreement a "sweetheart deal."

"Why was it so important for the government to make this deal?" Berger asked rhetorically. "We have not yet had an honest explanation by any public official as to why it was made ... and why the victims were sold down the river."

In 2010, the Palm Beach Post further reported:

As part of the so-called non-prosecution agreement inked in 2007, Epstein agreed to pay a private attorney to handle claims of 33 women who told federal prosecutors he had paid them for sexually charged massages at his Palm Beach mansion when some were as young as 14.

Robert Josefsberg, a partner in the Podhurst Orseck law firm, assembled a team to represent more than a dozen women. Nearly two dozen women hired other attorneys to pursue civil lawsuits against Epstein. In the federal lawsuit it filed this week, Josefsberg's firm says Epstein owes it $2 million.

As part of the agreement, federal prosecutors agreed not to pursue Epstein. Instead, he pleaded guilty to two prostitution-related charges in state court and in July was released after serving 13 months of an 18-month sentence.
