Sasse Statement on Epstein Guard Sentencing
May 21, 2021
U.S. Senator Ben Sasse, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement after the guards on during during Jeffrey Epstein's suicide reached a plea deal of 100 hours of community service.
​
“Apparently the Justice Department hasn’t finished embarrassing itself yet. This is unacceptable. Epstein’s victims have been failed at every single turn. One hundred hours of community service is a joke — this isn’t traffic court. The leader of an international child sex trafficking ring escaped justice, his co-conspirators had their secrets go to the grave with him, and these guards are going to be picking up trash on the side of the road. The public deserves a full report of the Bureau of Prisons’ failures and Main Justice needs to redouble its work to bring every one of Epstein’s co-conspirators to justice.”
