An email dated July 30, 2019, circulating a South Florida Sun Sentinel article. The article discusses the legal conflict regarding Epstein's 2007 non-prosecution agreement in Florida, noting that while some victims want new charges in Florida following his New York arrest, prosecutors argue others wish to avoid reopening the case to protect their privacy. Lawyers for victims Jane Doe 1 and 2 argue that the privacy concerns of some should not prevent the prosecution of Epstein and his co-conspirators.
This document is an email dated June 26, 2019, forwarding a Law360 article titled 'Gov't Says Epstein Victims Can't Scrap Nonprosecution Deal.' The article details the federal government's response to a lawsuit by Epstein's victims (Doe v. U.S.), where prosecutors argued that while the Crime Victims Rights Act (CVRA) was violated by Alexander Acosta in 2008, the nonprosecution agreement cannot be undone. The government proposed a meeting and a public hearing for victims to be heard, a remedy the victims' lawyer Brad Edwards criticized as insufficient.
This document is the United States Government's legal response to proposed remedies by victims (Petitioners) of Jeffrey Epstein following a court finding that the government violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) by failing to confer with them before entering a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). The government admits its communication with victims was insufficient but argues against the Petitioners' request to partially rescind the NPA, citing contract law, potential harm to other victims relying on the agreement, and separation of powers. Instead, the government proposes holding a public hearing for victim impact statements, arranging meetings between victims and DOJ representatives, and mandating additional training for prosecutors.
