This document is a page from a legal filing, likely a report from the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), detailing the scope and methodology of its investigation into the U.S. Attorney's Office's (USAO) handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Following a court ruling on February 21, 2019, that found the USAO violated victims' rights, OPR's investigation involved reviewing extensive records, conducting over 60 interviews, and identifying former U.S. Attorney Acosta and four other individuals as subjects of the inquiry for their roles in the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA).

This document is page 189 of a Department of Justice OPR report (Chapter Three) reviewing the government's interaction with victims in the Epstein case. It outlines the factual background of victim rights legislation, specifically the history leading to the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) of 2004, and sets the context for analyzing the USAO and FBI's communications with victims surrounding the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). The text details various legislative acts from 1982 to 2004 aimed at protecting crime victims.
