Reasoning
Acosta's knowledge of Villafafa's prior victim information concealment immediately before negotiating a covert plea deal in a trafficking case raises serious questions about whether victim protections were compromised. The assignment of a prosecutor with documented willingness to conceal victim information to a major sex trafficking case suggests institutional disregard for victim interests.
