DOJ-OGR-00021396.jpg

This legal document details the FBI's victim notification procedures during the 2006 investigation into Epstein. It describes how, starting in August 2006, the FBI's Victim Specialist, directed by the case agent, used the Victim Notification System (VNS) to send letters to victims informing them of their CVRA rights and the case status. The document also notes the use of pamphlets, such as "Help for Victims of Crime," to explain that the U.S. Attorney's Office would be responsible for ensuring their rights were afforded after an indictment.

DOJ-OGR-00021380.jpg

This document details an investigation into the origins of a two-year sentence proposal for Jeffrey Epstein, contrasting the differing recollections of prosecutors Acosta, Lourie, Menchel, and Sloman with documentary evidence. The record shows no indication that Epstein's team initially proposed the two-year term; in fact, they argued against any federal prosecution just before the offer was made. The document also outlines alternative, harsher sentencing options the U.S. Attorney's Office considered, such as a plea to a federal offense with a much longer sentence or a conspiracy charge, and why those options were ultimately rejected.

DOJ-OGR-00021375.jpg

This document is a page from an Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report criticizing former U.S. Attorney Acosta's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. The report concludes that Acosta's decision to resolve the case with a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) before the investigation was complete was 'poor judgment' and prevented the USAO from obtaining significant evidence, such as surveillance footage from the PBPD and cooperation from potential co-conspirators. The document notes that key investigative steps, like interviewing Epstein's assistants, were not taken before the lenient deal was offered.

DOJ-OGR-00021372.jpg

This document is page 172 of a DOJ OPR report (filed in court in 2021 and 2023) criticizing former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. The text details Acosta's justification for the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA), citing the 'Petite policy' and a desire to avoid stepping on state sovereignty, reasoning the report calls 'flawed and unduly constricted.' The report notes that Acosta admitted the NPA was not an 'appropriate punishment' federally and that Epstein faced 168-210 months under federal guidelines.

DOJ-OGR-00021348.jpg

This document details the rationale behind Alexander Acosta's decision to pursue a state-based, pre-charge disposition in the Jeffrey Epstein case instead of a federal trial. Acosta explained to the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) that his decision was based on federalism concerns, the weakness of the case, and a desire to act as a 'backstop' to the state prosecution, ensuring Epstein was registered as a sex offender. This contrasts with the views of other prosecutors, like Villafaña, who believed strongly in the federal case and wanted to proceed to trial.

DOJ-OGR-00021301.jpg

This DOJ OPR report excerpt details the breakdown of plea negotiations in early January 2008. Epstein's defense team (Sanchez, Starr, Lefkowitz) pressed US Attorney Acosta and Sloman for a 'watered-down resolution' that involved no jail time and no sex offender registration, threatening 'ugliness in DC' regarding alleged leaks. Prosecutor Villafaña prepared contingency plans to restart the investigation, including interviewing victims in New York and abroad, while Criminal Division Chief Robert Senior conducted a full review of the evidence.

This document is a page from a DOJ OPR report detailing the internal communications regarding the finalization of Jeffrey Epstein's Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). It highlights efforts by the prosecution team (Villafaña, Acosta) to limit the disclosure of the agreement's terms, specifically regarding financial damages, to the Palm Beach Police Chief and the public. The document outlines the specific provisions of the NPA, including the guilty plea to solicitation of minors, the 30-month recommended sentence structure, and the handling of victim damages.

This legal document details events in the Jeffrey Epstein case from 2007, focusing on the circulation of a draft non-prosecution agreement (NPA) by USAO attorney Villafaña. It describes a key meeting on September 7, 2007, where Epstein's defense attorneys, including Starr, met with prosecutors, including Acosta, to argue against federal charges. Starr specifically appealed to Acosta by highlighting their shared experience as Senate-confirmed officials.

DOJ-OGR-00021250.jpg

This document is page 50 (SA-76) from a DOJ OPR report investigating the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. It details retrospective interviews with prosecutors (Sloman, Menchel, Lourie) and US Attorney Alexander Acosta regarding the decision to offer Epstein a two-year plea deal. The text reveals the prosecution's fear of losing a federal trial ('risk losing everything'), the desire to avoid victim trauma, and Acosta's view of the federal case as merely a 'backstop' to state prosecution.

DOJ-OGR-00021245.jpg

This legal document details internal conflict within the U.S. Attorney's Office regarding the prosecution of Epstein. It describes prosecutor Villafaña's unsuccessful attempt to meet with her superior, Acosta, a contentious email exchange with her colleague Menchel that was later reviewed by the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), and her efforts to obtain computer evidence from Epstein's home. The document highlights disagreements on strategy and procedure among the prosecutors handling the case.

DOJ-OGR-00021218.jpg

This document details the initiation of the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein by the U.S. Attorney's Office in May 2006. AUSA Villafaña opened the case, named "Operation Leap Year," due to federal interests and concerns of improper political influence on the state investigation. On July 14, 2006, Villafaña briefed her superiors, U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta and Criminal Division Chief Jeffrey Sloman, to ensure their support for the high-profile and contentious case.

DOJ-OGR-00021217.jpg

This legal document details a May 2006 meeting where the lead Palm Beach Police Department detective presented the state's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein to FBI and USAO representatives. The detective expressed concerns that pressure from Epstein's attorneys was compromising the state case and that Epstein may have been tipped off about a search warrant. The group discussed potential federal charges based on Epstein's use of a private plane for interstate travel with suspected underage girls, though evidence was not yet firm.

This legal document details the early stages of the state's investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein, beginning in 2005. It describes the evidence found by the Palm Beach Police Department (PBPD) at Epstein's home and the subsequent transfer of the case to the State Attorney's Office, led by Barry Krischer. The document highlights significant disagreements between prosecutors, like Lanna Belohlavek, and the PBPD over the strength of the evidence and the appropriate charges, as well as the defense team's efforts to undermine victim credibility and the plea negotiations that occurred.

The interviewee describes receiving a new 2005 Dodge Neon in late 2004 from a man (unnamed in this segment), but states she returned the car approximately six to eight weeks before the end of the school year because he demanded sexual acts ('sex', 'suck him') which she refused.

DOJ-OGR-00003303.jpg

This document details events in early January 2008 concerning the Jeffrey Epstein case, starting with the postponement of a plea hearing due to issues with the state charge. It describes a meeting where defense attorney Sanchez alleged a media leak by the U.S. Attorney's Office (USAO) and pushed for a lenient plea deal, followed by a phone call where Epstein's full legal team reiterated their desire for a 'watered-down resolution'. Amid these negotiations, USAO personnel expressed concern about delays and initiated a full internal review of the investigation.

This legal document details communications in late 2006 and early 2007 between Jeffrey Epstein's defense attorneys, Lilly Ann Sanchez and Gerald Lefcourt, and prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney's Office. The defense sought a meeting to "make a pitch," leading to an internal disagreement between prosecutors Villafaña, who opposed the meeting without first receiving documents, and Lourie, who granted the meeting believing it was strategically valuable to hear the defense's theories. Ultimately, a meeting was scheduled for February 1, 2007, despite Villafaña's objections and her belief that the defense would not provide the requested evidence and would only use the meeting to discredit victims.

This legal document details the findings of a police investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, describing a consistent pattern of conduct where he and his assistants recruited high-school-age girls to his Palm Beach home for massages. These encounters frequently led to sexual assault, with Epstein paying the victims $200 and encouraging them to recruit their friends. The document also notes that Epstein was aware of the investigation from its early stages and that a search warrant was executed at his residence on October 20, 2005.
