Hi – We were just asked about our position on early termination of community control and/or transfer of Mr. Epstein to regular probation. I obviously am not well versed in how your programs work. I was looking over Chapter 948 and I was wondering whether Mr. Epstein was ever evaluated for treatment under 948.31, since he was convicted of “exploitation of a child … for prostitution.” I know the statute was enacted after he pled guilty, but it doesn’t seem like there should be an Ex Post Facto issue since it isn’t a punitive measure.¶
Do you know whether he has completed “the sanctions imposed in the community control plan”? I don’t want to give a position one way or the other if he isn’t even eligible for modification or termination.¶
Thank you.¶
