Jeffrey Epstein Part 19 of 19.pdf
This document contains FBI evidence logs (FD-340/FD-597) from March 2011 documenting the receipt of 20 photographs and notes from a cooperating witness regarding Jeffrey Epstein. The photos (grainy photocopies) depict locations including Paris (Dec 2000), Epstein's 'Zorro' Ranch in New Mexico, and a New York apartment. The file also includes a 2008 subpoena to Cingular/AT&T and a 2008 letter from US Attorney R. Alexander Acosta denying a request for information based on Grand Jury secrecy rules.
011.pdf
This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office to Judge Richard Berman arguing for the pretrial detention of Jeffrey Epstein. The Government outlines Epstein's extreme flight risk due to his wealth (over $500 million), international ties (Paris, US Virgin Islands), and access to private aircraft (noting over 20 international flights since 2018). It also details the danger he poses to the community, citing the recent discovery of lewd photos of minors in his home and a history of witness intimidation, including specific wire transfers made to potential witnesses following negative press coverage in late 2018.
068.pdf
This document is a Mandate from the Fourth District Court of Appeal of Florida, dated September 18, 2009, regarding the case of Jeffrey Epstein v. State of Florida. The mandate follows an opinion issued on September 2, 2009, where the court affirmed the lower court's decision, treating Epstein's petition for writ of certiorari as a full appeal. The document lists numerous attorneys involved, including R. Alexander Acosta on the distribution list, and identifies Palm Beach Newspapers, Inc. as an appellee alongside the State and a redacted party.
061.pdf
This document is a Supplemental Appendix filed by Palm Beach Newspapers, Inc. in a Florida state court case involving Jeffrey Epstein. It contains a transcript of a June 2009 hearing regarding the unsealing of court records, administrative orders, case law, and federal court filings including a declaration by AUSA A. Marie Villafana regarding the federal Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). The appendix documents the legal arguments surrounding the transparency of the Epstein proceedings and the government's interaction with victims under the Crime Victims' Rights Act.
053.pdf
This document is a court order from June 26, 2009, issued by Judge Jeffrey J. Colbath in the Circuit Court of Palm Beach County, Florida. The order denies Jeffrey Epstein's motion to stay the disclosure of his Non-Prosecution Agreement and sets a deadline of July 2, 2009, for the Clerk to release the documents, allowing time for an appeal to the 4th DCA. The document includes a service list of attorneys involved, including U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta and defense attorneys like Jack Goldberger.
041.pdf
This document is a 'Motion to Make Court Records Confidential' filed by Jeffrey Epstein's attorneys on June 11, 2009, in the Circuit Court of Palm Beach County. The defense seeks to maintain the seal on the Non-Prosecution Agreement (filed July 2008) and its Addendum, citing threats to the administration of justice and privacy rights of third parties. The motion references interventions by the Palm Beach Post and a non-party identified as 'EW' (whose name is redacted in one section) seeking access to these records.
035.pdf
This document is a motion filed on June 2, 2009, by The Palm Beach Post seeking to intervene in the criminal case against Jeffrey Epstein to unseal a non-prosecution agreement and its addendum. The Post argues that the sealing was improper, lacked necessary legal findings, and that the documents are of significant public interest given the accusations of soliciting minors. The document cites numerous civil lawsuits against Epstein and criticizes the secrecy surrounding his plea deal.
20250714161434468_24-1073_Maxwell_Opp.pdf
This document is a legal brief filed by the United States Solicitor General in July 2025 opposing Ghislaine Maxwell's petition for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court. The government argues that the 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) signed by Jeffrey Epstein in Florida does not bar the Southern District of New York from prosecuting Maxwell, as the agreement was contractually limited to the Florida district and Maxwell was not a party to it. The brief details the history of the Epstein investigation, the terms of the NPA, and relevant legal precedents regarding the scope of plea agreements binding different US Attorney's Offices.
018.pdf
This document is a Motion for Stay filed by defendants Jeffrey Epstein and Sarah Kellen in a civil lawsuit brought by Jane Doe. They argue that a stay is mandatory under federal law because of a pending federal criminal investigation/action (the deferred prosecution agreement). Attached is a declaration from AUSA A. Marie Villafana detailing the government's interaction with victims (T.M., C.W., S.R.) and providing copies of notification letters sent to them and their attorneys regarding their rights and the non-prosecution agreement.
020.pdf
This document is a 'Notice of Limited Appearance' filed on May 29, 2009, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. It lists multiple civil cases involving Jane Doe plaintiffs against Jeffrey Epstein. The United States, represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney A. Marie Villafaña (under U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta), files this notice to respond to a court order regarding Epstein's 'Motion to Stay Proceedings,' while explicitly stating the U.S. is not becoming a party to the litigation.
034.pdf
This document is a response filed by the United States Government (as amicus curiae) in May 2009 opposing Jeffrey Epstein's motion to stay various civil lawsuits against him. The government argues that there are no 'special circumstances' justifying a stay because Epstein is not currently under indictment, and the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) was intended to facilitate restitution for victims, not to shield Epstein from civil discovery. The filing lists numerous related civil cases involving Jane Doe plaintiffs and emphasizes that staying the cases would prejudice the victims' rights to speedy proceedings and restitution.
033.pdf
This document is a 'Notice of Limited Appearance' filed by the United States government in the Southern District of Florida on May 29, 2009. The filing, signed by Assistant US Attorney A. Marie Villafaña under US Attorney R. Alexander Acosta, consolidates multiple civil cases against Jeffrey Epstein (Plaintiffs include various Jane Does and C.M.A.). The United States enters as Amicus Curiae solely to respond to a court order regarding Epstein's Motion to Stay Proceedings, explicitly stating it does not become a party to the litigation nor take a position on the outcome of the civil suits.
EFTA00028785.pdf
This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to Judge Richard Berman, arguing against Jeffrey Epstein's motion for pretrial release. The government details Epstein's extreme flight risk due to his vast wealth (over $500 million), international ties (Paris, Virgin Islands), and private aviation access. It also highlights his danger to the community and obstruction of justice history, citing recent wire transfers to potential witnesses and the discovery of lewd photographs of minors in his home. The government argues that his proposed bail package, including home confinement and private security, is inadequate.
EFTA00023059.pdf
This document is the Executive Summary of a DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report from November 2020 investigating the conduct of U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta and other prosecutors regarding the 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) with Jeffrey Epstein. OPR concluded that while Acosta exercised 'poor judgment' in resolving the case via NPA and failing to ensure victims were notified, he did not commit professional misconduct as defined by clear and unambiguous standards. The report details the history of the investigation, the CVRA litigation by victims, and the subsequent fallout leading to Acosta's resignation and Epstein's 2019 arrest and death.
EFTA00022546.pdf
This document is a Reply Brief filed by victims Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 in opposition to Jeffrey Epstein's intervention brief regarding remedies for violations of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA). The victims argue for the partial rescission of the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) signed in 2007, specifically the immunity provisions, on the grounds that the agreement was illegally concealed from victims in violation of the CVRA. The brief refutes Epstein's arguments regarding due process, contract law, estoppel, and separation of powers, asserting that the NPA is unenforceable due to its illegal formation and the government's failure to confer with victims.
EFTA00020787.pdf
This document is an email dated August 23, 2019, circulated within the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (USANYS), containing the full text of a New York Times article by Katie Benner. The article details Attorney General William Barr's reaction to Jeffrey Epstein's death in federal custody, describing his anger at the Bureau of Prisons' incompetence and his subsequent actions to overhaul BOP leadership, including transferring the warden and appointing Kathleen Hawk Sawyer. It highlights the political pressure on Barr, conspiracy theories surrounding the death, and the unresolved questions regarding the failure of prison protocols such as regular checks and cellmate assignment.
EFTA00014144.pdf
A letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) to Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers, Jay Lefkowitz and Roy Black, dated August 26, 2008. The letter confirms a 'final list' of 32 victims, discusses the logistics of victim notification letters, and demands confirmation of payment for Mr. Josefsberg's fees. It also explicitly warns that if Epstein breaches the Non-Prosecution Agreement, the Office intends to indict him.
EFTA00014110.pdf
A letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida to attorney Roy Black regarding Jeffrey Epstein. The letter alleges that Epstein's participation in a work release program constitutes a material breach of his Non-Prosecution Agreement, which required incarceration without community control. The U.S. Attorney demands Epstein withdraw from the program and complete his eighteen-month term of imprisonment as agreed.
EFTA00014063.pdf
A legal motion filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (Case 08-8068-LRJ) requesting to seal a search warrant application. The motion, submitted under U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta, cites an ongoing grand jury investigation and the risk that public disclosure would jeopardize the case or notify targets. The specific Assistant U.S. Attorney's identity and contact details are redacted.
EFTA00014046.pdf
This document is the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) between the United States and Jeffrey Epstein, dated September 24, 2007, along with an Addendum dated October 29, 2007. In exchange for pleading guilty to state prostitution charges and serving a recommended 18-month county jail sentence (plus probation), the federal government agreed not to prosecute Epstein for federal crimes. Crucially, the agreement grants immunity to 'potential co-conspirators' (names redacted) and stipulates that the agreement would not be made part of the public record.
EFTA00014022.pdf
This document is a template letter from U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta's office (Southern District of Florida) notifying a victim's attorney of the plea agreement involving a defendant (implied to be Jeffrey Epstein based on the June 30, 2008 plea date). The letter details that the defendant will pay for a Special Master-selected attorney, Robert Josefsberg, to represent the victim in civil claims, and that the defendant waives the right to contest liability in such suits. It also references the court case 'In re Jane Does 1 and 2'.
EFTA00014016.pdf
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.
EFTA00013949.pdf
A letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office (SD FL) to Jeffrey Epstein's legal team (Lefkowitz and Black) dated August 20, 2008. The letter addresses the implementation of the Non-Prosecution Agreement, specifically the payment of fees to Special Master representative Robert Josefsberg and disputes regarding victim notification lists. The U.S. Attorney offers an ultimatum: stick to the September 2007 victim list (leaving Epstein open to prosecution for later-identified victims) or include victims known as of June 30, 2008, which would require Epstein to compensate them.
EFTA00013878.pdf
A legal notification from the US Attorney's Office (Southern District of Florida) to Jeffrey Epstein following his June 30, 2008 guilty plea. The document lists 30 'Jane Doe' victims whom the government was prepared to indict Epstein for federal crimes against. It establishes that these individuals have the right to seek damages (deemed no less than $150,000) and that Epstein waives evidentiary challenges to this document being used in civil suits by these victims. It is signed by Epstein and his lawyer Roy Black.
EFTA00013745.pdf
A letter from U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta to Jeffrey Epstein's attorney, Lilly Ann Sanchez, dated October 9, 2007. Acosta rejects a proposal regarding the resolution of victim claims under the Non-Prosecution Agreement and instead proposes using Judge Davis to select attorneys for the victims and potentially serve as a mediator for out-of-court settlements paid for by Epstein. Acosta also mentions attempting to coordinate with other defense team members Jay Lefkowitz and Guy Lewis.
