VillafaƱa expressed concern that if charges were filed, cross-examination would focus on the government telling victims they were entitled to damages upon conviction.
This legal document details communications in late 2007 and 2008 between federal prosecutors (Acosta, Sloman, VillafaƱa) and counsel for Epstein (Lefkowitz) regarding victim contact and a non-prosecution agreement (NPA). While the FBI continued to investigate and interview new potential victims, the prosecution team decided not to inform victims about the NPA, citing concerns that discussing financial settlements would compromise them as witnesses and create impeachment evidence. The document highlights the internal rationale for limiting victim notification, balancing legal obligations with strategic concerns in the case against Epstein.
