Summary
This document is an excerpt from a legal journal article discussing the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), specifically arguing that victim rights should apply before formal charges are filed. It uses the Jeffrey Epstein case as a primary example of failure in the system, noting that federal prosecutors negotiated a secret non-prosecution agreement with Epstein that barred federal charges for sex offenses against dozens of victims without informing them. The text highlights the outrage of victims 'Jane Doe Number One' and 'Jane Doe Number Two' upon discovering their rights to object had been bargained away secretly.
