A confidential letter dated September 18, 2008, from the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDFL) to the Florida Bar Ethics Counsel seeking a written opinion on the propriety of contacting victims. The letter discusses the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) involving a defendant (implied to be Jeffrey Epstein) who pleaded guilty to state sex offenses. The AUSA defends against an accusation by a victim's attorney that notifying victims of the NPA and the availability of independent counsel (Robert Josefsberg) violated Florida Bar rules against solicitation.
