The State Attorney's Office for Palm Beach County, led by Barry Krischer, handled the initial 2005-2008 criminal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and presented a controversial case to a 2006 grand jury that resulted in only a single solicitation charge despite evidence of crimes against dozens of underage victims.
The State Attorney's Office appears throughout investigative documents, subpoenas, court filings, and correspondence as the primary prosecutorial authority handling Epstein's initial Palm Beach case. Assistant State Attorneys Lana Belohlavek and Daliah Weiss are repeatedly mentioned coordinating with Palm Beach police detectives, issuing subpoenas to witnesses, and managing the investigation. The office's handling of the case became highly controversial—grand jury transcripts released in 2024 revealed prosecutors treated victims as prostitutes rather than underage sexual assault survivors, ultimately securing only minimal charges that allowed Epstein to avoid serious consequences.
