Summary
This document is a legal response filed on August 1, 2008, by attorneys for victims (Jane Doe #1 and #2) in the Jeffrey Epstein case, arguing that the U.S. Government violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA). The filing details how the U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI secretly entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement with Epstein in September 2007 while misleading victims for months that the investigation was ongoing and that federal charges were still possible. The motion requests the court to order the government to produce the full Non-Prosecution Agreement and FBI interview reports, and to schedule a hearing to determine the appropriate remedy for the violation of the victims' rights.
