This document analyzes the circumstances surrounding a breakfast meeting between Acosta and Epstein's defense counsel, Jay Lefkowitz, on October 12, 2007, and the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) signed on September 24, 2007. OPR concludes that Acosta did not make significant concessions during the breakfast meeting, as the key provisions of the NPA, including Epstein's 18-month sentence and sexual offender registration, were established prior to the meeting and not materially altered thereafter. The document also references a Miami Herald article critical of Acosta's involvement.
This document details the internal review and communications surrounding the resolution of the Epstein case, particularly focusing on the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA).

The text also references relevant legal statutes concerning civil remedies for victims of certain crimes and a memorandum from Acting Deputy Attorney General Craig S. Morford.
This document details events from December 2007 concerning victim notification letters related to Jeffrey Epstein's case. Villafaña prepared letters for victims but was instructed by Sloman to hold them after the USAO, via Sanchez, requested a delay due to Epstein's upcoming plea hearing and concerns about potential impeachment of victims for monetary compensation. The document also highlights an FBI agent's concern about unnotified victims and the defense's involvement in drafting letters, as well as Villafaña's later contact with an attorney representing a victim known as Jane Doe #2.

This document is a page from a Department of Justice OPR report detailing the failure to notify Jeffrey Epstein's victims of his non-prosecution agreement (NPA). It describes how prosecutor Villafaña prepared notification letters on December 7, 2007, but was ordered by her superior, Sloman, to 'Hold the letter' after Sloman received a request from Epstein's defense attorney (Sanchez) to delay notification. The document highlights internal conflict, with an FBI agent and Villafaña expressing concern and disgust over the delay and defense influence.
This legal document details a professional conflict between two government attorneys, Villafaña and Menchel, over plea negotiations in the case of Mr. Epstein. Villafaña accused Menchel, her superior, of violating victims' rights by not consulting them, while Menchel defended his discretionary authority and criticized Villafaña's actions and judgment. The document reveals that on the same day Villafaña criticized Menchel, she herself contacted the defense (Sanchez) about a potential resolution without first speaking to the victims, highlighting the complexities and differing interpretations of prosecutorial obligations.

It includes a table listing specific dates between February 2007 and January 2008, participants from both sides (including Acosta, Dershowitz, Starr, and Black), and the purpose of each meeting, such as discussing investigation improprieties, the NPA term sheet, and state plea provisions. The text specifically notes Alex Acosta's limited attendance at pre-NPA meetings and mentions a breakfast meeting between Acosta and defense attorney Jay Lefkowitz.
This document is part of a legal filing detailing an Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) investigation into prosecutor Menchel's handling of the Epstein case. The investigation focuses on whether Menchel's prior dating relationship with defense counsel Sanchez in 2003 created a conflict of interest or improperly influenced a plea deal offered years later. The document outlines Menchel's and his supervisor Acosta's conflicting and corroborating statements regarding the decision-making process for the plea, and concludes it would have been prudent for Menchel to disclose the relationship to his supervisors.
This document is an excerpt from a DOJ OPR report detailing the internal review of the Jeffrey Epstein case in 2008. It describes how Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip and prosecutor John Roth reviewed defense appeals (initiated by Ken Starr) regarding the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA), with Filip ultimately dismissing the defense's arguments as 'ludicrous' and refusing to meet with Epstein. The text also highlights prosecutor Marie Villafaña's sarcastic and angry reaction to learning that State Attorney Barry Krischer had secretly negotiated a light 90-day jail sentence for Epstein.
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 outlines the negotiations between US Attorney Alexander Acosta and Jeffrey Epstein's defense team (including Ken Starr and Jay Lefkowitz) regarding the language of the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA), specifically Section 2255 concerning victim rights and monetary damages. On December 19, 2007, Acosta proposed revised language to clarify victim rights as if Epstein had been convicted federally, but the defense rejected this, arguing it was legally incongruous to fit a civil statute into a criminal plea. The document highlights the mounting frustration of the prosecution regarding what they perceived as intentional delays by the defense.
This document page describes communications and actions taken in late October 2007 related to a non-prosecution agreement. It details an email from Acosta expressing frustration with negotiations, Sloman's subsequent communication with opposing counsel Lefkowitz that led to an agreement, and the signing of an addendum by Epstein's attorneys. The document also includes an email exchange between prosecutors Villafaña and Sloman discussing the propriety of selecting a private attorney for victims versus a Special Master, and Sloman reassuring Villafaña in the face of criticism from defense counsel.
This document describes the conflicting accounts surrounding a breakfast meeting between prosecutor Acosta and Epstein's attorney, Lefkowitz. A letter from Lefkowitz claims Acosta promised the USAO would not interfere with Epstein's state-level plea deal, a claim Acosta's office refuted in an unsent draft letter calling it "inaccurate." The text also details Acosta's later, differing recollections of the meeting and contrasts them with media reports that a secret deal was struck at that time.
This document details the legal wrangling in October 2007 regarding the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) for Jeffrey Epstein. It highlights the friction between government attorneys (Villafaña, Sloman) and defense counsel (Lefkowitz, Sanchez) over the interpretation of victim compensation procedures (§ 2255) and the role of a special master.

Advising of Jan 4 plea hearing and requesting USAO 'hold off' sending victim letters.

Asked Sloman to help resolve issues regarding the attorney representative's role.
Sanchez wrote again stating the resolution in the Epstein case was not reasonable, calling it a misunderstanding. She stated Epstein's attorneys emphasized an 18-month federal camp goal, and a registrable offense precluded a camp designation, which was inconsistent with Epstein's safety concerns. She concluded that imposing a 'life sentence' (registration) is not something to be proud of and asked for reconsideration.
Sanchez sent a series of emails to Lourie, strongly objecting to the sexual offender registration requirement for Epstein, claiming it was based on a miscommunication.
Sanchez provided details from a press report about a Florida public official who pled guilty to child sex abuse charges and was sentenced to probation. She noted she spoke to Matt Menchel and asked Lourie to call her.
Sanchez sent a lengthy email strongly objecting to the registration requirement for Epstein, claiming a 'miscommunication' at the September 12, 2007 meeting where Krischer and Belohlavek confirmed solicitation with minors was NOT registrable. She argued against registration due to lack of prior record, no danger of recidivism, ease of tracking, and difficulty complying with state requirements.
Sanchez sent Lefcourt's phone number to Lourie.
Sanchez emailed Sloman stating a desire to finalize the plea deal, claiming only one issue was outstanding.
Sanchez advised Sloman that he wanted to finalize the plea deal, noting one outstanding issue and believing that Alex had not read all defense submissions.
Sanchez reached out to Lourie and obtained his agreement for a joint request to stay litigation until after Acosta's meeting with defense counsel.
Obtained agreement to a joint request for a stay until after Acosta's meeting.
Sanchez, on behalf of Epstein's defense team, sent a letter proposing a sentence of two years home confinement, restitution, and other conditions, arguing it would vindicate the federal interest without requiring a state prison sentence.
Sanchez emailed Villafaña requesting a two-week extension for the production of computer equipment, hoping for a 'state-based resolution'.
A few days after the June 26, 2007 meeting, Sanchez emailed Villafaña advising that Epstein's defense team would submit material by July 11, 2007, and hoped to reach a state-based resolution. The email also requested a two-week extension for compliance with demands for records.
Sanchez bypassed Villafaña and phoned Lourie to press for a meeting, which Lourie agreed to.
Acosta stated he had “sua sponte proposed the Addendum to Mr. Lefkowitz at an October meeting in Palm Beach.”
