DOJ-OGR-00000332.jpg
This document is page 4 of a Government filing dated July 12, 2019, arguing for the continued detention of Jeffrey Epstein. It details that multiple victims have contacted the Government to oppose bail due to safety fears and the belief that Epstein's wealth should not grant him special home detention privileges. The document also introduces financial evidence from 'Institution-1' showing Epstein's net worth exceeds $500 million, arguing this vast wealth heightens his flight risk.
DOJ-OGR-00000330.jpg
This legal document is a filing arguing against granting bail to a defendant accused of a years-long scheme of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls. The prosecution contends that the defendant's proposed bail package is inadequate, he is a flight risk due to his wealth and private jet, and he poses a danger to the community. The document details the allegations, including that the defendant paid victims and victim-recruiters in cash in locations like New York and Palm Beach, and urges the Court to order him detained pending trial.
DOJ-OGR-00021064.jpg
This document is a 'Statement of the Issues Presented for Review' from an appellate brief (Case 22-1426, dated Feb 28, 2023). It outlines four main legal arguments for appeal: the misapplication of a non-prosecution agreement, errors regarding statutes of limitations, juror misconduct involving concealed history of sexual abuse, and a constructive amendment of the indictment regarding venue (New Mexico vs. New York) and state law.
DOJ-OGR-00020741.jpg
This document is a page from a legal filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN) detailing the operational pattern of abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. It describes how Epstein traveled from New York to his Palm Beach residence, where victims were greeted by staff or Maxwell, subjected to sexual abuse during 'massages', and subsequently paid in cash by Epstein, Maxwell, or associates. It explicitly states Maxwell facilitated Epstein's access to minors knowing his sexual preferences.
DOJ-OGR-00015160.jpg
This document is page 28 of a court order (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) regarding the unsealing of grand jury materials in the Ghislaine Maxwell case. The Court discusses the perspectives of victims who submitted letters supporting the release of information to expose the magnitude of the crimes, provided their identities are protected. The Court notes that while this favors unsealing, the victims may be under a 'mistaken belief' that these specific materials contain new information, despite the Government previously characterizing them as critical history.
DOJ-OGR-00015149.jpg
This legal document describes the process of two separate grand jury proceedings related to indictments against an individual named Maxwell. It details that on June 29, 2020, and March 29, 2021, grand juries heard testimony from an FBI agent and an NYPD detective, respectively, who presented hearsay evidence summarizing the government's investigation. The document outlines the exhibits presented and the subsequent indictments returned by the juries.
DOJ-OGR-00015142.jpg
This document, filed on August 11, 2025, details the procedural timeline regarding the unsealing of grand jury transcripts and exhibits in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell. It outlines communications between the Court, the Government, and Maxwell between July 29 and August 5, 2025, specifically noting Maxwell's opposition to unsealing the transcripts and the Government's efforts to notify victims.
DOJ-OGR-00002315.jpg
This legal document, filed on January 25, 2021, argues that the indictment against Ms. Maxwell lacks sufficient specificity regarding the alleged crimes and the identities of accusers/victims. It contends that the open-ended time periods and vague descriptions of 'minor girls' or 'victims' in the indictment make it impossible for Ms. Maxwell to prepare an adequate defense or apply the statute of limitations. The document cites legal precedents to support the argument for greater specificity in criminal charges.
DOJ-OGR-00002175(1).jpg
This document is page 14 of a court filing (Document 100) from December 18, 2020, in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN). The Government argues that documentary evidence and witness testimony will 'virtually indisputably' prove that the defendant and Jeffrey Epstein interacted with minor victims at specific times and places. The document also references a 'Renewed Bail Motion' filed by the defense, though the specific arguments regarding that motion are largely redacted.
DOJ-OGR-00002174(1).jpg
This legal document, part of a court filing, outlines the prosecution's argument against the defense. It states that three victims are prepared to testify in detail about the defendant's role in Jeffrey Epstein's criminal scheme to sexually abuse minors. The prosecution asserts that the victims' accounts are consistent and corroborate each other, describing specific techniques of grooming and manipulation used by the defendant, thereby strengthening the government's case.
DOJ-OGR-00001780.jpg
This document is page 2 of a court filing (Document 60) in the case of USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell (1:20-cr-00330-AJN), filed on October 6, 2020. It details the specific charges against Maxwell (enticement, conspiracy, transport of minors, perjury) focused on the 1994-1997 timeframe, while discussing the production of discovery materials related to a broader investigation of Epstein's abuse post-1997. The Government argues for the delayed disclosure of specific 'Materials' (approx. 40 photos and 40 pages of documents) to protect the identities of non-testifying victims and to avoid interfering with ongoing investigations.
DOJ-OGR-00021646.jpg
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 22-1426) recording the final moments of a hearing involving Ms. Maxwell. The Judge clarifies the fine guidelines ($20,000 to $200,000 per count), thanks the counsel, the victims who provided statements, and the government before adjourning the session.
DOJ-OGR-00021640.jpg
This document is a page from a court transcript (likely a sentencing hearing) concerning Ghislaine Maxwell. The presiding judge rejects claims regarding Maxwell's poor treatment at the MDC, citing her extensive access to resources, and highlights a pattern of dishonesty regarding her finances and civil deposition testimony (perjury). While noting that Maxwell and her attorney, Ms. Sternheim, acknowledged the victims' suffering, the judge emphasizes that Maxwell failed to express remorse or accept responsibility for her actions.
DOJ-OGR-00021631.jpg
This document is a page from a court transcript (SA-455), likely from Ghislaine Maxwell's sentencing hearing, filed as part of an appeal in June 2023. The speaker (Maxwell) addresses the court and the victims, stating that Jeffrey Epstein should have been the one facing justice for his crimes in 2005, 2009, and 2019. She apologizes to the victims for their pain and expresses hope that her conviction and 'harsh and unusual incarceration' will provide them with closure and peace.
DOJ-OGR-00021630.jpg
This document is a transcript of a statement made in court on June 29, 2023, by an individual convicted for their role in Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. The speaker expresses remorse and empathy for the victims, acknowledges their conviction, and describes Epstein as a manipulative and controlling person, stating that meeting him is the greatest regret of their life. The statement reflects on the devastating impact Epstein had on everyone around him.
DOJ-OGR-00021488.jpg
This document is a page from an Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report reviewing the government's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, specifically regarding the 2008 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). OPR concludes that while the failure to notify victims about the NPA did not constitute professional misconduct (citing strategic concerns about impeachment evidence), the lack of transparency and inconsistent messaging mistreated victims and damaged public confidence. The report states that victims were not treated with the sensitivity expected by the Department of Justice, leading to perceptions of collusion between the government and Epstein's counsel.
DOJ-OGR-00021253.jpg
This document outlines the specific terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) between the government and Jeffrey Epstein, requiring a guilty plea to state charges involving minors and a two-year prison sentence. It details the legal statutes violated (Florida statutes regarding lewd battery, solicitation, and sexual activity with minors) and stipulates that federal investigations would close upon his state sentencing. The document also includes a narrative section describing the contentious negotiation process between July and September 2007, noting the prosecution's frustration with defense tactics.
DOJ-OGR-00021213.jpg
This document details allegations and police findings regarding Jeffrey Epstein's conduct, describing how he and his assistants recruited underage girls for massages that often escalated to sexual acts. It outlines the specific patterns of these encounters, the payment structure, the recruitment of other victims by the girls themselves, and the initiation of the PBPD investigation leading to a search warrant in October 2005.
DOJ-OGR-00021186.jpg
This document contains findings from an Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report regarding Alexander Acosta's handling of the Epstein case. While OPR did not find evidence of corruption or professional misconduct regarding the decision to enter a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA), it concluded that Acosta exercised 'poor judgment' and relied on a flawed application of federalism principles. Additionally, the report concludes that attorneys did not commit misconduct regarding the lack of victim consultation, citing the interpretation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) at the time.
DOJ-OGR-00021177.jpg
This executive summary details an investigation by the Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility into the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case in 2007-2008. It outlines the initial investigation by the Palm Beach Police Department, Epstein's indictment, the referral to the FBI, and the subsequent negotiation and signing of a non-prosecution agreement (NPA) with Epstein, which included conditions like pleading guilty to state charges and victim compensation. The OPR investigated whether prosecutors committed misconduct by failing to consult victims or misleading them.
DOJ-OGR-00019539.jpg
This page documents a protective order regarding discovery procedures in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330). It defines 'Confidential Information' as materials containing personal details of victims and witnesses, while explicitly excluding those who have publicly identified themselves on the record. It also establishes a mechanism for Defense Counsel to challenge the Government's confidentiality designations.
DOJ-OGR-00019538.jpg
This document is page 5 of a court order filed on July 30, 2020, for case 1:20-gp-00330-AJN. The order prohibits the defense team (including the Defendant, Counsel, Staff, Experts, and Witnesses) from publicly disclosing or filing the identities of victims or witnesses referenced in the Discovery process. An exception is made for individuals who have already spoken on the public record, or if the disclosure is authorized in writing by the Government or by an order from the Court, in which case the filing must be made under seal.
DOJ-OGR-00019527.jpg
This is a page from a legal document, likely a protective order from case 20-cr-00330-AJN, filed on July 28, 2020. It defines how materials produced by the Government during discovery are to be designated and handled as "Confidential Information," particularly to protect the identities of victims and witnesses. The document also outlines the process for Defense Counsel to challenge these confidentiality designations.
DOJ-OGR-00019526.jpg
This is page 5 of a Court Order (Protective Order) filed on July 28, 2020, in Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell). The text outlines strict protocols for handling Discovery materials, specifically prohibiting the Defense team and Potential Defense Witnesses from publicly disclosing the identities of victims or witnesses who have not already spoken publicly. It mandates that any court filings containing such identities must be filed under seal unless authorized by the Government or the Court.
DOJ-OGR-00019508.jpg
This document is page 7 (labeled page 6 internally) of a court filing from July 2, 2020, in case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell). It outlines the protocols for handling 'Confidential Information' during discovery, specifically defining what constitutes confidential material and establishing protections for the personal identification of victims and witnesses.

Victim notification and rights
Letters created by Villafaña, hand-delivered by FBI agents, contained contact information for Villafaña, FBI case agent, and Department's Office for Victims of Crime, itemized CVRA rights, described case as 'under investigation', stated victim would be notified if anyone charged, mentioned entitlement to counseling, medical services, and restitution, advised victims on defense contact. Villafaña did not intend for these letters to activate CVRA obligations at this stage.
Status of investigation

Resolution of Epstein investigation
We are calling to inform you about the resolution of the Epstein investigation and to thank you for your help. Mr. Epstein pled guilty to one child sex offense that will require him to register as a sex offender for life and received a sentence of 18 months imprisonment followed by one year of home confinement. Mr. Epstein also made a concession regarding the payment of restitution. All of these terms are set out in a letter that AUSA Villafaña is going to send out. Do you have a lawyer? Get name or address. If not[,] where do you want [the] letter sent? If you have questions when you receive the letter, please understand that we cannot provide legal advice but the lawyers at the following victim rights organizations are able to help you at no cost to you. (Provide names and phone numbers) Also ask about counseling and let them know that counseling is still available even though the investigation is closed.
