Did he walk or was that the "sweetheart deal" he received from Alex Acosta?

If we're talking about the same charge, he didn't walk but he had a ridiculously light and lenient sentence (It was horrible that this is all that happened to him): "June 2008: Epstein pleads guilty to state charges: one count of solicitating prostitution and one count of soliciting prostitution from someone under the age of 18. He is sentenced to 18 months in jail. Under a secret arrangement, the U.S. attorney’s office agrees not to prosecute Epstein for federal crimes. Epstein serves most of his sentence in a work-release program that allows him to leave jail during the day to go to his office, then return at night." (AP, A Timeline of the Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell scandal. Published 12:05 PM PDT, June 28, 2022).
