Summary
This document is page 71 of a 2014 legal analysis (likely a law review article) discussing the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA). It uses the Epstein case as a primary example of why victims need rights before formal charges are filed, specifically citing how Jane Doe Number One and Two were not informed that prosecutors had secretly bargained away sex offense charges. The text argues that the CVRA's plain language supports extending rights to victims throughout the criminal justice process, even before charges are filed.
