This document is an excerpt from an OPR report analyzing the conduct of prosecutor Villafaña during the federal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. It concludes that Villafaña consistently advocated for Epstein's prosecution and victims' interests, despite a public narrative suggesting collusion with defense counsel. The report details Villafaña's efforts to protect victims' anonymity, expand the case scope, and draft victim notification letters, while refuting claims that she was 'soft on Epstein' based on witness statements and email context.

This document is a court docket report from late April 2021 for the case US v. Ghislaine Maxwell. It records her 'Not Guilty' plea, sets scheduling deadlines for pretrial motions and victim disclosures, and details a dispute where Maxwell's defense (Sternheim) alleges MDC guards wrongfully seized her confidential legal documents. Judge Nathan ordered MDC legal counsel to show cause regarding this incident.

This document is an email thread from July 8-9, 2019, between attorney Raymond L. Colon and a redacted individual (likely a prosecutor or court official). The discussion centers on scheduling a plea hearing at the Magistrate's Court in room 5A for July 10, 2019, and exchanging a plea agreement. Notably, on July 8, Colon congratulates the recipient on a 'Job well done' regarding 'the Epstein case,' coinciding with Jeffrey Epstein's arrest in July 2019.

This document excerpt details discussions and concerns surrounding victim notification and the handling of Jeffrey Epstein's case. Key figures like Sloman, Villafaña, and Acosta provided accounts to OPR regarding the federal plea process, communication between federal and state authorities, and the challenges of victim identification and notification, including a potential $150,000 payment for victims. The text also highlights discrepancies in victim counts and the impact of Epstein's defense team on inter-agency communications.

This document is an email thread from June 2008 between Assistant U.S. Attorneys and Jeffrey Epstein's defense team (Jack Goldberger and Roy Black). The correspondence concerns the finalization of Epstein's plea agreement, specifically clarifying language about his 'imprisonment' versus 'community control' and confirming where he would serve his time (PBC Detention Center/Jail vs. Stockade). The emails reveal that prosecutors were working with '5 girls' for a Grand Jury, that there was surprise regarding a lack of press coverage, and that law enforcement officials ('The Chief') were contacting victims regarding the upcoming plea hearing.

This document contains a page from a DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report regarding the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case by the USAO (specifically Acosta, Sloman, and Villafaña). It details the prosecutors' justifications for not notifying victims about the non-prosecution agreement and plea deal, citing a belief that the state would handle notification and a fear that the restitution payments ($150,000) would be used by Epstein's defense to impeach victim witnesses. The text highlights a lack of coordination between federal and state prosecutors regarding victim lists and the specific terms of the plea hearing.
