Manhattan DA's office allegedly aided Jeffrey Epstein by downgrading his sex‑offender status
Summary
Manhattan DA's office allegedly aided Jeffrey Epstein by downgrading his sex‑offender status The passage links a senior prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office to a concrete action that benefitted Jeffrey Epstein, a high‑profile billionaire accused of extensive sexual abuse. It provides specific names, dates, and a procedural request that can be verified through court records, suggesting a clear investigative avenue. If true, it would expose potential misconduct and collusion within a major city law‑enforcement agency, generating significant public outrage. Key insights: Assistant DA Jennifer Gaffney, deputy chief of Cyrus Vance Jr.’s sex‑crimes unit, requested a downgrade of Epstein’s registry level in Jan 2011.; The request sought to move Epstein from Level 3 (most dangerous) to Level 1 (least restrictive).; Judge Ruth Pickholz expressed surprise, noting she had never seen the prosecutor’s office act this way.
