I believe this is false. The police chief Michael Reiter called the FBI because the Palm Beach County state prosecutor, Barry Krischer was being too lenient on Epstein. I've seen nothing to indicate that the victims wouldn't formally accuse Epstein of anything. The police alleged that Epstein had paid several girls to perform sexual acts with him. Interviews with five alleged victims and seventeen witnesses under oath, a high-school transcript and other items found in Epstein's trash and home allegedly showed that some of the girls involved were under 18, the youngest being 14, with many under 16. The police search of Epstein's home found two hidden cameras and large numbers of photos of girls throughout the house, some of whom the police had interviewed in the course of their investigation.

Krischer acted as if Epstein’s teenage accusers were prostitutes who eagerly sold their bodies to buy clothes at the mall instead of treating them like high school girls who said they had been sexually assaulted by a man four decades their senior.
Krischer decided he didn't believe them, but based on a review of the state attorney’s investigative files, no one from Krischer's office ever interviewed the girls or their parents. His lead prosecutor declared more than once that there were “no victims” in the case, according to documents obtained by The Post.
Finally, Krischer found a secret way to sink the case: He took it to a grand jury where only one victim testified. It was the first time a sex crimes case was presented to a grand jury by his office. Thirteen teens gave police nearly identical accounts of how the politically connected financier used his wealth to exploit the girls. Yet the task of convincing jurors that Epstein was a predator fell on the shoulders of one 14-year-old girl.
Krischer’s office then undermined its own witness, who had told police she had been fondled by a naked Epstein while she gave him a “massage,” sources close to the grand jury proceedings told The Post. Prosecutor Lanna Belohlavek peppered the girl with questions about her social media pages, the sources said. The girl’s MySpace account, supplied to prosecutors by Epstein’s lawyers, portrayed her drinking liquor with boys and talking about sex.
Also, it's been said that Alan Dershowitz was primarily responsible for negotiating the sweetheart deal. Make no mistake, I believe Dershowitz is much deeper into this than has been portrayed in the media. I believe he was one of the key figures in Epstein's entire schemes.
