EFTA00027776.pdf
This document is a legal filing by Petitioners Jane Doe 1 and 2 in May 2019, arguing for specific procedures to determine a remedy after the court ruled the Government violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) by secretly negotiating a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) with Jeffrey Epstein. The petitioners argue the Government should immediately announce its proposed remedy, specifically the rescission of the NPA's immunity clauses, and request limited discovery including depositions of key figures like former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta and Epstein's attorney Jay Lefkowitz regarding a secret 2007 'breakfast meeting.' The filing includes correspondence between victims' counsel and the U.S. Attorney's Office, highlighting the Government's delay tactics and the recent recusal of the Southern District of Florida office.
EFTA00014615.pdf
A legal opinion letter from attorney H. Dohn Williams Jr. to the U.S. Attorney's Office explaining the specific legal mechanisms Jeffrey Epstein used to avoid indefinite civil commitment under Florida's Jimmy Ryce Act. The author details how serving time in county jail rather than state prison was a deliberate loophole used to bypass the Act, a loophole that was closed in 2014. The letter asserts that 'money, powerful friends,' and the cooperation of the U.S. Attorney, State Attorney, and Sheriff's Office facilitated this unique arrangement.
EFTA00014172.pdf
An email from an Assistant U.S. Attorney to Barry Krischer discussing the confidentiality clauses of Jeffrey Epstein's Non-Prosecution Agreement.

The email also notes that the defense has failed to file the complete agreement with the Court as previously ordered.
EFTA00013921.pdf

The emails discuss media strategy in anticipation of a Palm Beach Post article about the Epstein deal.

EFTA00013706.pdf
This document contains an email chain from November 27, 2007, between the U.S. Attorney's Office (Southern District of Florida) and Jay Lefkowitz, a lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein, with Alex Acosta CC'd. The emails discuss the selection of Aaron Podhurst and Bob Josephsberg (likely as mediators or special masters) and the government's statutory obligation under the Justice for All Act of 2004 to notify victims of the agreement with Epstein. The AUSA insists that vetting conclude immediately so that victims can be notified by November 29, 2007.
EFTA00013649.pdf
Editorial from The Palm Beach Post dated November 16, 2007, criticizing the potential plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein. The article discusses Epstein's high-profile legal team (Goldberger, Dershowitz, Starr), the evidence found by police (including phone messages and a high school transcript in his trash), and the concern that his wealth is allowing him to bypass the justice system despite preying on underage girls. It notes that a previous grand jury indictment for solicitation was seen as insufficient given the age of the victims and mentions that the federal investigation had reportedly stalled the state case.
EFTA00013630.pdf
This document is an editorial from The Palm Beach Post dated November 16, 2007, criticizing the potential plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein. It details how Epstein, accused of paying underage girls for sex, employed a high-profile legal team including Alan Dershowitz and Kenneth Starr to negotiate a deal expected to result in 18 months jail time and sex offender registration, resolving charges from a 2006 indictment. The article expresses concern that Epstein's wealth is allowing him to manipulate the justice system and avoid more serious consequences.
EFTA00013530.pdf

DOJ-OGR-00033217.tif
This email from Assistant U.S. Attorney Ann Marie C. Villafana to Barry Krischer, with Lanna Belohlavek in copy, discusses the failing plea negotiations for Mr. Epstein. The defense has changed their minds, only wanting to plead to state charges, and Villafana believes Epstein is hesitant about jail time and paying damages to victims.

DOJ-OGR-00030514.jpg
This letter, dated February 9, 2006, is from Assistant State Attorney Lanna Belohlavek to attorney Guy Fronstin. It formally invites Fronstin's client, Jeffrey Epstein, to voluntarily appear before the Palm Beach County Grand Jury on March 7, 2006, to address 'matters suggesting possible criminal conduct.' The letter explicitly states that this is not an offer of immunity, participation is voluntary, and any testimony provided by Epstein could be used against him in a future criminal prosecution.
DOJ-OGR-00030469.jpg
A legal letter dated June 22, 2006, from Jeffrey Epstein's defense firm (Atterbury Goldberger & Weiss) to State Attorney Barry Krischer. The defense argues that based on recent meetings and polygraph results from expert George Slattery, there are no allegations of actual sex and the accuser claimed to be 18. The letter requests that no charges be filed or an informal agreement be reached, while simultaneously attacking the accuser's credibility by citing her online behavior and alleged changing of her age.
DOJ-OGR-00021491.jpg
This document is a page from a Department of Justice report detailing the sources of information for an Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein case. OPR gathered records from U.S. Attorney's Offices in Florida and Georgia, as well as public records from Florida law enforcement agencies.

It highlights a December 19, 2007 letter where US Attorney Acosta deferred notification responsibility to the State Attorney, citing jurisdiction issues. The text reveals internal conflicts and justifications, including fear that victim notification might cause the plea deal (NPA) to fall apart or lead to victim impeachment.

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.
