Legal memorandum argues Jeffrey Epstein's conduct does not meet federal sex‑trafficking statutes

Summary

Legal memorandum argues Jeffrey Epstein's conduct does not meet federal sex‑trafficking statutes The passage provides a detailed legal argument that Epstein was merely a customer and not subject to federal trafficking charges. It mentions no new financial flows, foreign actors, or high‑level officials, and the analysis repeats well‑known case law. While it could be useful for understanding defense strategy, it offers little actionable investigative lead beyond confirming existing legal positions. Key insights: Cites 18 U.S.C. §§2423(f)(2), 2423(g), and 1591 to argue lack of federal jurisdiction over Epstein as a 'John'.; References United States v. Evans and United States v. Madison to differentiate Epstein's case from known trafficking prosecutions.; Claims Epstein did not financially benefit from the alleged conduct and that the women misrepresented their ages.
