Lefkowitz cautioned that federal agents or USAO staff should not contact identified individuals directly to inform them of the case resolution, citing confidentiality and Epstein's control over communication.
This document details the complex discussions and objections surrounding victim notification in a legal case, likely involving Epstein, during late 2007. It highlights concerns raised by the FBI and defense attorneys, particularly Lefkowitz, about the implications of direct victim contact, including potential impeachment material, confidentiality breaches, and grand jury secrecy rules. Various parties, including VillafaƱa, case agents, and the USAO's Professional Responsibility Officer, navigated these issues, with VillafaƱa also raising ethical concerns about 'cold calling' victims under Florida Bar Rules.
