Lana Belohlavek was the Assistant State Attorney who handled Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 Florida prosecution. The documents show her involvement in plea negotiations, communications with defense attorneys, and the controversial sentencing hearing.
Belohlavek appears primarily in court documents, investigative reports, and media coverage of Epstein's 2008 Florida case. She is referenced in her official capacity as the Chief of the State Attorney's Office Sex Crimes Division who negotiated the plea deal, interviewed victims during the 15-month investigation, and presented the case at Epstein's June 30, 2008 sentencing hearing. Detective reports show she communicated with Epstein's defense attorneys Jack Goldberger and Guy Fronstin, and at one point reportedly began avoiding calls from investigators. Her role in accepting a lenient plea agreement despite evidence involving multiple victims became a focal point of criticism.
