Epstein's abuses could have been prevented according to the House report
A report by the U.S. House claims that authorities failed to prevent Jeffrey Epstein's crimes after 2005 due to significant negligence.

The report highlights a 2007 plea deal that spared Epstein from prosecution despite numerous complaints. It also discusses the circumstances surrounding Epstein's controversial death, attributing it to institutional failures. The report calls for legal reforms to prevent similar situations and criticizes both parties for their handling of the case, particularly regarding allegations against Donald Trump.
