Summary
This article from The Virgin Islands Daily News details the 'unusual level of collaboration' between federal prosecutors (including Alexander Acosta and A. Marie Villafana) and Jeffrey Epstein's legal team during the negotiation of his non-prosecution agreement. It highlights the exclusion of victims from the process, the 'VIP treatment' Epstein received in jail (including work release authorized by Sheriff Ric Bradshaw), and subsequent legal battles by victims like 'Jane Doe No. 1' (Wild) and Jena-Lisa Jones to invalidate the agreement. The document also reveals that in 2011, the NY District Attorney's office under Cyrus Vance argued on Epstein's behalf to reduce his sex offender status, a move that shocked the presiding judge.
