Summary Facts

•  Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of sexual crimes against children in 2008.
• Peter Attia maintained a very close relationship with Epstein up until (at least) 2017. 
• Extensive communications between Epstein, Epstein's office, and Peter Attia show up in the Epstein Files over the course of many years from 2014 onwards. (Over 1,700 results in the Epstein Files)
• Peter Attia is a licensed medical practitioner in Texas (S8803), California (A96452), and New York (281406-1).
• In the 3 states in which Peter Attia is licensed as a medical practitioner, there are statues which REQUIRE mandatory reporting of child sexual crimes by medical professionals who become aware of these crimes. There is NO LEEWAY IN THE LAW.
• Whilst sharing explicit photographs with Jeffrey Epstein of (presumably) women, Peter Attia admits in the Epstein Files that Jeffrey Epstein's life is "outrageous" and that he (Attia) cannot tell anyone about it. This is contrary to the obligations held by licensed medical professionals. 
   

We, the undersigned, respectfully request that the state medical licensing authorities in Texas, New York, and California initiate a formal review into whether Peter Attia, a physician licensed in Texas, California, and New York complied with mandatory child abuse reporting obligations under applicable state law.

Publicly available statements and documented reporting indicate that Peter Attia likely possessed knowledge of sexual abuse of minors by a non-custodial adult offender and did not report that information to authorities. (Justice.gov documents)

Given the gravity of child exploitation offenses and the heightened ethical obligations imposed upon licensed physicians, we believe that an independent review is warranted to determine whether statutory reporting duties were triggered and, if so, whether they were fulfilled.

 
Legal and Ethical Framework

Physicians in these jurisdictions are designated as mandated reporters under state law:

• Texas:
  Texas Family Code § 261.101 requires any person, including physicians, to report suspected child abuse within 48 hours when there is reasonable cause to believe abuse has occurred.
• California:
  The California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act (Penal Code §§ 11164–11174.3) requires physicians to report when they have reasonable suspicion of child abuse.
• New York:
  New York Social Services Law § 413 requires mandated reporters to report when they have reasonable cause to suspect child abuse or maltreatment.

In each state, failure to comply may constitute:

A criminal offense; and/or Grounds for professional discipline, including suspension or revocation of licensure. Physicians hold positions of public trust and are expected to act promptly when aware of potential harm to children.

 
Basis for Request

Available evidence suggests that the physician in question:

Admitted knowledge of criminal conduct of Jeffrey Epstein and agreed to remain silent about it;
Maintained professional licensure in multiple states at the time such knowledge was obtained; and
Did not report such conduct to law enforcement or child protective authorities.
If accurate, these facts raise legitimate concerns regarding compliance with mandatory reporting statutes.

We are not requesting predetermined discipline. Rather, we request:

A formal investigation into whether statutory reporting thresholds were met;
A determination of whether the physician fulfilled their legal obligations; and
Appropriate action consistent with each state’s laws and due process protections.

Mandatory reporting laws are crucial in the fight against child sexual exploitation. They act as a safeguard, ensuring that suspicions of abuse are promptly reported and investigated. According to Child Welfare Information Gateway, professionals in roles such as healthcare personnel face severe penalties if they neglect these duties. The National Association of Social Workers stresses the importance of these laws in preventing exploitation and reassessing standards of accountability among professionals.
