Summary
This document is page 47 of a government filing in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (2021). It argues that the 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) was not intended to protect Maxwell. Citing an OPR report and an interview with former prosecutor Maria Villafaña, the text states that while prosecutors knew of a 'socialite' friend of Epstein (Maxwell), they had no evidence against her in 2007 and intended the immunity provision to apply only to four specific female assistants.
