Conviction — against a third party

Protagonist not prosecuted — these proceedings are not counted in their formal charges or convictions.

Rodriguez retains Epstein documents and an address book while authorities and victims' lawyers seek evidence that might identify witnesses and victims. After stating under oath that he no longer possesses the documents, he tries in 2009 to sell them for approximately $50,000 to someone involved in an undercover operation. He pleads guilty to obstruction and receives an 18-month prison sentence in 2010.
