Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 plea deal is facing renewed scrutiny as some allege that the sex predator received special treatment and a "sweetheart" deal from federal prosecutors, according to a new report.
In 2007, an FBI investigation into Epstein resulted in a draft of a federal indictment that included 60 counts. However, then U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta approved a plea deal with Epstein's attorneys where he would plead guilty to a state charge of soliciting a minor for prostitution, rather than face federal prosecution.
