Summary
This document, part of a legal filing, details findings from the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) regarding the government's treatment of Jeffrey Epstein's victims. OPR concludes that while no professional misconduct occurred, the government failed to treat victims with forthrightness and sensitivity, particularly by not providing timely and clear information about the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). The report uses the case of a victim named Wild to illustrate a series of confusing and inconsistent communications from government agents, and also notes an instance where prosecutor Sloman refused to provide information to another victim's attorney.

Villafaña, a government agent, communicated with and interviewed Wild, a victim, providing what is described as confusing and inconsistent information.
Edwards contacted Villafaña 'on Wild's behalf', suggesting he was acting as her representative, possibly an attorney.
The document states the attorney who called Sloman was his 'former law partner' and that Sloman cited 'prior business relations' as a reason for not answering questions about Epstein.
