Defense of Jeffrey Epstein
In 2007, Starr joined the legal team defending Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who was accused of the statutory rape of numerous underage high school students.[66] Epstein would later plea bargain to plead guilty to several charges of soliciting and trafficking of underage girls, serve 13 months on work release in a private wing of the Palm Beach jail, and register as a sex offender.[67] Starr said he was "in the room" when then-US attorney Alex Acosta made the deal that yielded the plea bargain for Epstein and later described Acosta as "a person of complete integrity," adding that "everyone was satisfied" with the agreement.[68] In early 2019, a federal judge ruled that because prosecutors failed to disclose the deal to Epstein's victims, they had violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) which entitles victims to know about significant events in their cases.[69] Acosta, who later served as Secretary of Labor, resigned that role in mid 2019 under pressure over the perceived lenience of the Epstein deal.[70]
Support for Christopher Kloman
In 2013, Starr was among many high-profile figures to express support for Christopher Kloman, a 74-year-old retired teacher at the Potomac School who pleaded guilty to molesting five female students over a period from 1966 to 1985.[71] Starr signed a letter, written by his wife Alice, to the Fairfax County, Virginia, judge presiding over the case.[72] The letter asked for leniency for Kloman, who is a friend of the Starr family and who "took the time to chat" with Starr's daughter, a student at the school until 1998. "Community service would be a far better punishment than having him languish in jail."[72] Kloman was convicted in October 2013 and sentenced to 43 years in prison
