...That deal however was not lawfully executed by Jim Acosta who did a great disservice not only to justice but more importantly these victims. Ironically, the improper role played by the Justice Department in the case may actually help it now with any prosecution of Maxwell.
We now have the indictment. Any problem with the Acosta deal made be avoided by not just attacking the validity of the agreement, as noted, but reliance on multiple perjury counts stemming from depositions (which would not be impacted by the agreement, even if enforceable).
Six counts:

Count 1-2: Enticement of a Minor To Travel To Engage In Illegal Sex Acts

Count 3-4: Transportation Of A Minor With Intent To Engage In Criminal Sexual Activity

Count 5-6: Perjury
