060.pdf

This document is a response filed by Palm Beach Newspapers, Inc. (The Palm Beach Post) to an emergency petition for writ of certiorari by Jeffrey Epstein. The Post argues that the trial court correctly unsealed a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) and its addendum related to Epstein's solicitation of minors, asserting that the documents were improperly sealed in the first instance and that no valid legal basis exists for their continued closure.

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.

The emails discuss media strategy in anticipation of a Palm Beach Post article about the Epstein deal. An Assistant U.S. Attorney clarifies that U.S. Attorney 'Alex' (likely Alexander Acosta) intended the prosecution to remain a state case to allow State Attorney Barry Krischer to 'save face,' while establishing minimum penalties as a 'floor' rather than a ceiling.

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.

It describes communications between Villafaña, Lefkowitz, Acosta, Lourie, and Krischer regarding proposed plea terms, sentencing, and deadlines, highlighting Villafaña's firm stance against further delays and Epstein's apparent goal to avoid sexual offender registration.

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. Villafana set a deadline for a non-prosecution agreement by Friday afternoon, threatening indictment by the following Tuesday if no agreement is reached, and mentions a verbal agreement with Krischer's office by Monday.

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.'

A legal letter dated June 22, 2006, from Jeffrey Epstein's defense firm (Atterbury Goldberger & Weiss) to State Attorney Barry Krischer.

This document is an excerpt from a DOJ OPR report detailing the decision-making process behind the failure to notify victims of Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 state plea hearing. 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.
