Summary
This document is a page from a legal article (Cassell et al., Vol 104) submitted as evidence to the House Oversight Committee. It argues for the application of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) prior to formal charges being filed. The text specifically cites the Epstein case as a negative example, noting that prosecutors made a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein regarding sex offenses against dozens of victims (including Jane Does 1 and 2) without victim participation, effectively shutting them out of the justice process.
