It appears that there was a misunderstanding at the meeting I had with Please confirm this with Before the meeting, a sex prosecutor for 13 years, told us that solicitation of a minor, under 796.03, is not a registerable offense. However, as it turned out, 796.03 is a registerable offense and our discussion at the meeting was based on a mistaken assumption. We suggest that Mr. Epstein enter two pleas -- one to the Indictment and a second to a non-registerable charge. This charge could still allow for restitution under chapter 796. Indeed, because the conduct at issue here involves woman under the age of majority, I would suggest that Mr. Epstein plead either to a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, child abuse, and/or agree to a statement of facts that he should have known that women under the age of majority were involved. Such a statement combined with a plea should address any concerns you have regarding Mr. Epstein's accepting responsibility for his conduct. To require registration based on the facts alleged in this case, however, simply does not make sense. Registration is a life sentence and the FBI's EFTA00215125
