This document outlines the timeline surrounding the violation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) in the Jeffrey Epstein case during June and July 2008. It details how AUSA Villafaña withheld critical information from victims' attorney Brad Edwards regarding the finality of the plea agreement and its impact on federal prosecution. Consequently, Edwards filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of Florida to enforce the rights of victims E.W. and L.M., who only learned the plea deal was finalized during a hearing on July 11, 2008.

This page from a House Oversight report details the timeline between June 27 and July 11, 2008, regarding the violation of victims' rights (CVRA) in the Jeffrey Epstein case. It highlights that AUSA Villafaña failed to inform victims' attorney Edwards that Epstein's state plea would preclude federal prosecution. Consequently, victims E.W. and L.M. only discovered the plea deal was finalized during a hearing on July 11, 2008, after Edwards had filed a federal action to enforce their rights.
