Summary
This document is a page from a 2023 legal filing reviewing the historical handling of the Epstein case. It highlights that the investigation was national in scope, involving coordination between the Southern District of Florida and New York, and notes that the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) was specifically modified to broaden immunity for co-conspirators beyond just Florida. Crucially, it mentions investigators knew Epstein used hidden cameras in his NY home to record sexual encounters and that AUSA Villafana sought to investigate Epstein's assistants in New York.

Moreover, the USAO-SDFL’s involvement of the USAO for this District in
its investigation of Epstein, as well its contact with witnesses in New York, reflect
a coordinated effort that transcended the USAO-SDFL (Dkt 142, Exh. A at 46, 48,
60). From these facts, it affirmatively appears that the Government had every
reason to foresee a potential prosecution of Epstein’s co-conspirators in this
District and, after multiple layers of review within the Department of Justice,
intended to agree to preclude it. According to the OPR, the NPA originally read
that it “resolves the federal criminal liability of the defendant and any co-
conspirators in the Southern District of Florida...”, but this language was modified
and the final agreement was not so restricted as to the co-conspirators. Dkt 142,
Exh. A at 74-75.
