Federal prosecutor, referenced in Epstein case legal proceedings
Jeffrey Sloman was First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida during the Epstein case, serving as the second-in-command under U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta and directly overseeing prosecutors handling the 2007-2008 federal investigation that resulted in the controversial non-prosecution agreement.
Sloman appears throughout government records and legal documents as a key Justice Department official involved in the Epstein case negotiations and decision-making. He is referenced in correspondence with Epstein's defense attorney Jay Lefkowitz, including a May 2008 email about seeking DOJ review of the case. Documents show he was one of the supervisors who received prosecutor Ann Marie Villafaña's 82-page prosecution memo and draft 60-count federal indictment. He later had drinks with Epstein attorney Alan Dershowitz in March 2009 and corresponded about Epstein's jail conditions and potential home detention. Court filings quote him characterizing the case as 'at heart, a local sex abuse case,' a position criticized by victims' attorneys.
for that branch office. In early 2004, Sloman was appointed Chief of the USAO’s Criminal Division. In October 2006, Sloman became the FAUSA, and Sloman’s office was located with Acosta’s in the Miami office’s executive suite. As FAUSA, Sloman was responsible for supervising the Civil, Criminal,

OPR found no indication that Acosta ever communicated, or directed Sloman or Villafana to communicate, hi
tojthe victims regarding the upcoming change of plea, but the Office decided dial victim notification could only come from a state investigator, and Jeff Sloman asked PBPD Cliief Reiter to assist.” On Saturday, June 28,2008, VillafanajemailedSloman to inform him tliat PBPD Cliief Reiter “is going to notify vi
things further and not to have any involvement in victim notification,” she felt “prohibited” from providing additional information to Edwards. Sloman told OPR that although neither the NPA terms nor the CVRA prevented the USAO from exercising its discretion to notify the victims, “[I]t was [of] co
