Summary
This document is page 62 of a legal article (Cassell et al.) included in House Oversight records. It argues that Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) rights should attach before formal charges are filed, explicitly using the Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement in Florida as a case study where victims were denied consultation because charges were not formally filed. The text critiques the Office of Legal Counsel's (OLC) position and references a 2011 letter from Senator Jon Kyl to Attorney General Eric Holder supporting the broader interpretation of victims' rights.
