This document appears to be a page from a law review article (dated roughly 2014) included in a House Oversight investigation. It discusses the legal interpretation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), specifically focusing on whether victims' rights apply before formal charges are filed. It highlights a 2010 DOJ Office of Legal Counsel opinion which argued rights do not attach during investigations, and notes that non-prosecution agreements (NPAs) allow prosecutors to avoid notifying victims—a key legal issue in the Jeffrey Epstein case. The text mentions Senator Jon Kyl's objection to this DOJ interpretation.
