The agreement stipulates that federal prosecution will be deferred and eventually dismissed if Epstein pleads guilty to specific state charges (lewd battery, solicitation, sexual activity with minors) and serves a recommended 30-month sentence (minimum 18-20 months in prison). It also notably limits the identification of victims to a list not exceeding forty people and requires Epstein to register as a sex offender.

This document is an Addendum to the Non-Prosecution Agreement regarding the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein.

The document is signed by Epstein and his counsel on October 29, 2007, and by an Assistant U.S. Attorney (signature redacted) on behalf of R. Alexander Acosta on October 30, 2007.
EFTA00013680.pdf
This is the 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) between the United States (represented by U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta) and Jeffrey Epstein. In exchange for Epstein pleading guilty to state charges of solicitation of prostitution and serving a 30-month sentence (including jail and community control), the federal government agreed not to prosecute him for federal sex trafficking crimes. Crucially, the agreement also granted immunity to any potential co-conspirators (names redacted) and stipulated that the agreement would not be made part of the public record.
EFTA00013666.pdf
This document is a letter dated July 17, 2008, from the U.S. Department of Justice (Southern District of Florida) to Jeffrey Epstein's attorney, Michael R. Tein. The U.S. Attorney's Office disputes the defense's claim that the federal criminal action is 'pending,' stating that under the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA), the investigation is suspended and motions to quash subpoenas should have been withdrawn. The letter warns that if Epstein claims the federal action is pending to stay civil proceedings, the DOJ will resume the motion to quash and analyze seized computer equipment.

EFTA00013538.pdf
A letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office (Southern District of Florida), signed on behalf of Alexander Acosta, to Jeffrey Epstein's attorney Jay Lefkowitz.

The correspondence concerns the drafting of an 'Addendum to the Non-Prosecution Agreement' for Jeffrey Epstein.

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 the NPA and failing to ensure victims were properly notified, he and his staff did not commit professional misconduct as defined by DOJ standards. The report details the history of the investigation, the secret negotiations, the subsequent violation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), and the eventual fallout leading to Acosta's resignation as Labor Secretary in 2019.
EFTA00011475.pdf
This document is an Executive Summary of a November 2020 DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility report investigating the 2006-2008 federal handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case by the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida. It details the negotiation of the controversial Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) approved by then-US Attorney Alexander Acosta, which allowed Epstein to plead to lesser state charges, and examines the failure of the government to consult with victims under the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA). The report concludes that while Acosta and other attorneys did not commit professional misconduct by definition, Acosta exercised 'poor judgment' in resolving the case via the NPA and the government failed to treat victims with necessary forthrightness.

This legal document, part of a court filing, argues that the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) with Epstein was strictly limited to the Southern District of Florida.

Alexander Acosta, to demonstrate that there was no intention to bind other federal districts from prosecuting Epstein. The document emphasizes that the agreement's scope is explicitly confined to 'this District' and defers to prosecution by the State of Florida.
