Summary
This document is a printout of a 'Main Justice' news article from March 22, 2011, detailing a legal motion filed by attorneys Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell. The attorneys allege that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by secretly signing a non-prosecution agreement with Jeffrey Epstein in September 2007 while sending false letters to victims in 2008 claiming the investigation was still ongoing. The article includes a response from U.S. Attorney's Office Special Counsel Alicia Valle, who maintains that no federal charges were filed and declines further comment due to pending litigation.

Quote #1
"The only reason that the (U.S. Attorney’s office) concealed the existence of the non-prosecution agreement from the victims was not to comply with some legal restriction, but rather to avoid a firestorm of public controversy that would have erupted if the sweetheart plea deal with a politically connected billionaire had been revealed."Source
