A sweetheart deal or sweetheart contract is a contractual agreement, usually worked out in secret, that greatly benefits some of the parties while inappropriately disadvantaging other parties or the public at large. The term was coined in the 1940s to describe corrupt labor contracts that were favorable to the employer rather than the workers and usually involved some kind of kickback or special treatment for the labor negotiator.

Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 'sweetheart deal': Everything you need to know about one of America's greatest judicial travesties
UPDATED JUL 15, 2019
Ever since the globe-trotting, wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein's arrest last week, there's one aspect of the horrifying case that has been spoken about more than anything else - the plea deal that Epstein initially received, that almost let him get away scot-free. The deal was under the Trump administration's Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta, who was the US Attorney in South Florida at the time. The renewed spotlight on Epstein's crimes caused a firestorm of backlash for Acosta, who resigned in disgrace recently.
What did Epstein get in the deal?
The plea deal, called a non-prosecution agreement, helped Epstein settle all potential federal criminal liability from his sex-trafficking activities prior to 2007 by pleading guilty to a state prostitution charge. He pled guilty to two state prostitution charges in 2008 and spent 13 months prison in a county jail, which he could leave during the day as he pleased. The cushy deal had him register as a sex offender and pay restitution to victims identified by the FBI.

It not only made him safe, but it also helped grant immunity to some the alleged co-conspirators - they weren't even identified in the agreement. According to the seven-page agreement, obtained by CNN, all of the evidence proved that Epstein was actually sex trafficking while he had been let go with just a prostitution charge. Plus, it wasn't put on public records and was sealed - only unsealed by a federal judge in 2015 after a civil lawsuit.

Virginia Louise Giuffre (n;e Roberts; August 9, 1983 – April 25, 2025) was an American-Australian advocate of justice for survivors of sex trafficking and one the most prominent and vocal accusers of child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Giuffre died of suicide at her home in Neergabby, Western Australia, on April 25, 2025, at the age of 41. Her father at first accepted the alleged cause of death as suicide, but on May 1 said he thought that "somebody got to her". Giuffre's Australia-based attorney Karrie Louden said she believed that Giuffre's death was not "suspicious in any way".
