4
+ JANE DOES #1 and #2
5
+ UNITED STATES
6
+ JANE DOE #1 AND JANE DOE #2'S STATUS REPORT AND RESPONSE TO
7
+ COURT'S ORDER TO SHOW LACK OF PROSEUCTION
8
+ Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 (*the victims"), through counsel, file the response to
9
+ Court's order to file a status report and show cause regarding prosecution of the case (doc. #40).
10
+ BACKGROUND
11
+ As the Court is aware, it entered an order administratively closing this case on September
12
+ 9, 2010 (doc. #38). That order recited that fact that Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 had recently
13
+ settled their civil cases with Jeffrey Epstein as the basis for closure. On September 13, 2010, the
14
+ victims promptly filed a notice that, while they had settled their case with Jeffrey Epstein, they
15
+ had reached no settlement with the U.S. Attorney's Office and intended to make filings in this
16
+ case shortly (doc. #39). The victims requested administrative reopening of the case and, if the
17
+ Court deemed it advisable, a prompt scheduling conference with the U.S. Attorney's Office
18
+ regarding the case. The victims also advised that they had only recently received important
19
+ correspondence between the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Epstein proving that there had been
20
+ an orchestrated decision to deny them their rights.
21
+ On October 8, 2010, the Court entered an order directing the victims to file a status report
22
+ and show cause why the case should not be dismissed for want of prosecution.
23
+ 1
24
+ EFTA00206717
25
+
26
+ STATUS REPORT
27
+ As the Court is aware from the victims' filing on September 13, 2010 (doc. #39, the
28
+ victims have now received important evidence that allows them to file a comprehensive motion
29
+ explaining the factual background underlying the denials of their rights under the Crime Victims
30
+ Rights Act and the legal reasons for concluding that their rights under the Act have been
31
+ violated. The victims prepared a full motion to that effect - accompanied by a detailed factual
32
+ and legal memorandum. They planned to file the motion and memorandum simultaneously with
33
+ this pleading. The motion looks something like a summary judgment motion, although the exact
34
+ procedures for CVRA cases are unclear.
35
+ In an effort to narrow and resolve disputes in this case, the victims then provided an
36
+ advance copy of their factual and legal pleadings to the U.S. Attorney's Office, along with a
37
+ request that the U.S. Attorney's Office stipulate to as many facts as possible. The U.S.
38
+ Attorney's Office then asked the victims to delay filing their pleading for a period up to and
39
+ including two weeks from today to permit further discussions about the facts and about possible
40
+ settlement of the disputes. The U.S. Attorney's Office represented that, from their perspective, if
41
+ the victims were to file their pleadings today it would make it more difficult to reach a resolution
42
+ of the case.
43
+ In view of this request from the U.S. Attorney's Office, the victims have accordingly
44
+ agreed to delay filing their comprehensive motion for a period of two weeks. In exchange, the
45
+ U.S. Attorney's Office has agreed to stipulate that it has not been prejudiced by the passage of
46
+ time involved in resolving this case and that it will not be prejudiced by an additional two weeks
47
+ before the victims file their motion.
48
+ 2
49
+ EFTA00206718
50
+
51
+ The victims wish to make clear that they stand ready to file their comprehensive motion
52
+ for a finding of violations of their rights in two weeks, on November 10, 2010. They are also
53
+ prepared to make that filing in whatever form the Court might direct as the most appropriate to
54
+ resolve this case quickly.
55
+ It should be noted that the victims' motion will ask for an evidentiary hearing if the facts
56
+ are disputed by the U.S. Attorney's Office. Before filing the motion, the victims had also sent a
57
+ copy of the facts to the U.S. Attorney's Office in an effort to obtain their agreement to them and
58
+ to expedite the case. (As the Court is aware from the victims" earlier filing, the victims
59
+ attempted to negotiate a stipulated set of facts with the U.S. Attorney's Office, only to be
60
+ rebuffed by the U.S. Attorney's Office. See doc. #17 (U.S. Attorney giving "notice" that only
61
+ two facts are relevant to this case and declining to provide information on other facts in the
62
+ case); doc. #19 (victims response); doc. #22 (U.S. Attorney's reply).) The parties jointly advise
63
+ the Court that they believe that two weeks of discussions may narrow the issues on which the
64
+ victims would request an evidentiary hearing. The U.S. Attorney's Office, at this time, opposes
65
+ any evidentiary hearing.
66
+ If no resolution of the case is achieved in the next two weeks, the victims would propose
67
+ the following schedule for bringing this case to a conclusion:
68
+ November 10, 2010 - Victims file comprehensive motion.
69
+ November 24, 2010 -- U.S. Attorney's Office files response to the victims' motion.
70
+ December 3, 2010 - Victims' file Reply to Response.
71
+ Evidentiary Hearing (if facts contested) - early December, at a time convenient to the Court.
72
+ January 1, 2011 - Court issues ruling on whether victims' rights were violated.
73
+ If the Court enters a finding that the victims' rights were violated, then ....
74
+ January 14, 2011 - Victims brief on the appropriate remedy for a violation;
75
+ January 28, 2011 - U.S. Attorney's Office (and any other interested person) files response to
76
+ victims' remedy brief.
77
+ February 4, 2011 - Victims reply on remedy issues.
78
+ Hearing if necessary - mid-February, at a time convenient to the Court.
79
+ 3
80
+ EFTA00206719
81
+
82
+ This proposed schedule would allow Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 to have their case
83
+ fully resolved on the merits within the next few months. The victims would have no objection to
84
+ the Court accelerating the schedule. The U.S. Attorney's Office agrees that this schedule is
85
+ appropriate to resolve the victims' motion, although it may have additional motions and
86
+ arguments it wishes to file as well.
87
+ THE CASE SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR LACK OF PROSECUTION
88
+ Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 should not have their case dismissed for lack of prosecution
89
+ for the simple reason that they have not failed to prosecute it. To the contrary, as recounted more
90
+ fully in the statement of facts contained in their contemporaneously filed motion for a finding of
91
+ violation of their rights, they have been attempting to secure information that would help prove
92
+ their case.
93
+ The victims hereby expressly incorporate that statement of facts, and supporting
94
+ evidence (particularly the Declaration from Bradley J. Edwards, Esq..) as part of this pleading.
95
+ Although the victims rely on all of the information contained in the statement of facts, in
96
+ the interest of a brief summary the victims would note that they have been diligently attempting
97
+ to secure correspondence between Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office regarding the non-
98
+ prosecution agreement reached in this case. After the U.S. Attorney's Office declined to provide
99
+ the information, the victims sought to secure that information as part of their civil lawsuits
100
+ against Epstein. This was because of a reasonable legal judgment that the victims' counsel that it
101
+ was in their best interest to pursue the civil lawsuit against Epstein had a faster pace. Because of
102
+ protracted litigation from Epstein's battery of lawyers, the vietims did not secure any of the
103
+ correspondence they sought until June 30, 2010. Even then, they secured only part of that
104
+ correspondence - litigation to secure the rest of that correspondence continues to this day. See
105
+ 4
106
+ EFTA00206720
107
+
108
+ Declaration of Bradley J. Edwards, Esq., Attachment to Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2's Motion
109
+ for Finding of Violations of the Crime Victims' Rights Act.
110
+ The victims have also never been asked by the U.S. Attorney's Office to accelerate the
111
+ resolution of this case.
112
+ During the last year, the victims' counsel have been in contact with the
113
+ U.S. Attorney's Office on numerous matters related to Jeffrey Epstein. At no time did the U.S.
114
+ Attorney's Office ask the victims to begin moving more quickly to resolve this case. As noted
115
+ above, the U.S. Attorney's Office agrees it has not been prejudiced by the passage of time that
116
+ has taken place in the case so far.
117
+ The victims would also note that the Court has never advised them of a deadline for
118
+ moving forward with their CVRA case. The victims also knew that the Court was aware of the
119
+ intense and protracted litigation what was proceeding with Epstein in the various civil cases
120
+ against him. It seemed reasonable to the victim to resolve those cases first and then turn to the
121
+ CVRA case - and the victims assumed that the Court was also proceeding on this approach, as
122
+ the victims never received any inquiry from the Court about their CVRA case until the
123
+ September 2010 order "administratively" closing the case. Within 5 days of receiving that
124
+ communication from the Court, the victims promptly advised the Court of their intent to continue
125
+ moving forward with the case and suggesting a scheduling conference if the Court deemed it
126
+ advisable.
127
+ The victims have now proposed a specific schedule that will bring this matter to a final
128
+ conclusion in the next few months. There is no reason to dismiss the case precipitously now on
129
+ the eve of a final resolution.
130
+ The Eleventh Circuit has repeatedly noted that dismissal with prejudice is an "extreme
131
+ sanction" and "is plainly improper unless and until the district court finds a clear record of delay
132
+ 5
133
+ EFTA00206721
134
+
135
+ or willful conduct and that lesser sanctions are inadequate to correct such conduct." Betty K
136
+ Agencies, Ltd. |. M/ MONADA, 432 F.3d 1333, 1338-39 (11th Cir.2005). In this case, there is
137
+ no clear record of delay or willful conduct. To the contrary, there is a pattern of the vietims
138
+ diligently attempting to secure evidence (i.e., the correspondence) vital to their case in the face of
139
+ determined opposition from both the United States and a billionaire sex offender represented by
140
+ a battery of attorneys. The Eleventh Circuit has held that simple negligence in meeting a court-
141
+ imposed deadline is not sufficient to warrant dismissal. See McKelvey I AT & T Techs., Inc., 789
142
+ F.2d 1518, 1520 (11th Cir.1986) (per curiam). Here, there is not even negligence, as the victims
143
+ have not failed to meet any deadline that the Court has set and today stand ready to bring the
144
+ case to an expeditious conclusion on the schedule they propose. On September 13, 2010, the
145
+ victims also suggested to the Court that a scheduling conference would be one way to proceed in
146
+ this case - a suggestion that they continue to offer to the Court.
147
+ CONCLUSION
148
+ The Court should establish the schedule proposed by the victims and bring this case to a
149
+ conclusion on the merits as the victims propose.

1
+ STATEMENT OF FACTS
2
+ Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 offer the following statement of facts, which they are
3
+ prepared to establish at any evidentiary hearing that the Court might schedule.
4
+ 1. Between about 2003 and 2006, defendant Jeffrey Epstein (a billionaire with significant
5
+ political connections) sexually abused more than 40 minor girls at his mansion in West Palm
6
+ Beach, Florida, and elsewhere.
7
+ 2. In 2006, at the request of the Palm Beach Police Department, the Federal Bureau of
8
+ Investigation ("FBI") opened an investigation into allegations that Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein")
9
+ and his personal assistants had used facilities of interstate commerce to induce young girls
10
+ between the ages of thirteen and seventeen to engage in prostitution, among other offenses. The
11
+ case was presented to the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida,
12
+ which accepted the case for investigation. See Declaration of Bradley J. Edwards, Esq. at 1
13
+ (hereinafter "Edwards Declaration"). The Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office was
14
+ investigating the case. Edwards Declaration at 1.
15
+ 3. The FBI determined that both Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 were victims of sexual assaults
16
+ by Epstein while they were minors beginning when they were approximately thirteen years of
17
+ age and approximately XXXXx years of age. Both Jane Does were initially identified through the
18
+ Palm Beach Police Department's investigation of Epstein. Edwards Declaration at 1.
19
+ 4. On about June 7, 2007, FBI agents hand-delivered to Jane Doe #1 a standard CVRA victim
20
+ notification letter.
21
+ See Doc. #14 (attachment 1 to decoration al A Alone
22
+ The
23
+ notification promises that the Justice Department would makes its "best efforts" to protect Jane
24
+ Doe #1's rights, including "[t]he reasonable right to confer with the attorney for the United
25
+ States in the case" and "to be reasonably heard at any public proceeding in the district court
26
+ EFTA00206695
27
+
28
+ involving ... plea ...." The notification further explained that "[alt this time, your case is
29
+ under investigation." That notification meant that the FBI had identified Jane Doe #1 as a victim
30
+ of a federal offense and therefore as someone protected by the CVRA
31
+ 5. On about August 11, 2007, Jane Doe #2 received a standard CVRA victim notification letter.
32
+ See Doc. #14 (attachment 2 to declaration of A. Marie
33
+ The notification promises that
34
+ the Justice Department would makes its "best efforts" to protect Jane Doe #1's rights, including
35
+ "[t]he reasonable right to confer with the attorney for the United States in the case" and "to be
36
+ reasonably heard at any public proceeding in the district court involving •.• plea ...." The
37
+ notification further explained that "[a]t this time, your case is under investigation." That
38
+ notification meant that the FBI had identified Jane Doe #2 as a victim of a federal offense and
39
+ therefore as someone protected by the CVRA.
40
+ 6. Early in the investigation, the FBI agents and the Assistant U.S. Attorney had several
41
+ meetings with Jane Doe #1. Jane Doe #2 was represented by counsel and, accordingly, all
42
+ contact was made through that attorney. Edwards Declaration at 1.
43
+ 7. In May 2007, the U.S. Attorney's Office had a 82-page prosecution memorandum outlining
44
+ numerous federal sexual offenses committed by Epstein, and had prepared a 53-page indictment
45
+ for numerous federal offenses. U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 4.
46
+ In and around September 2007, plea discussions took place between Jeffrey Epstein,
47
+ represented by numerous attorneys (including lead criminal defense counsel Jay Lefkowitz) and
48
+ the U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of Florida, represented primarily by Assistant
49
+ U.S. Attorney A. Marie
50
+ The plea discussions generally began from the premise that
51
+ Epstein would plead guilty at least one federal felony offense surrounding his sexual assaults of
52
+ more than 40 minor girls. From there, the numerous defense attorneys progressively and
53
+ EFTA00206696
54
+
55
+ relentlessly negotiated more favorable plea terms so that Epstein would ultimately plead to only
56
+ two misdemeanor offenses and would serve only jail time. Many of the negotiations are
57
+ reflected in e-mails between Lefkowitz and
58
+ Copies of the correspondence are attached as
59
+ Exhibit 2 to the Edwards Declaration accompanying this filing (hereinafter cited as "U.S. Attorney's
60
+ Correspondence" and referenced by Bates number stamp).' Because Epstein has moved to keep these
61
+ documents under seal, they are at this time filed under seal with the Court.
62
+ 9.
63
+ In September 2007, in connection with plea discussions about a possible federal assault
64
+ charges against Epstein, Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) A. Marie
65
+ proposed that
66
+ Epstein plead to an assault charge involving a telephone call made by Epstein while he was on
67
+ his private jet. During the telephone call, Epstein warned his personal assistant, Lesley Groff,
68
+ against turning over documents and electronic evidence responsive to a subpoena issued by a
69
+ federal grand jury in the Southern District of Florida investigating Epstein's sex offenses. U.S.
70
+ Attorney's Correspondence at 49, 58.
71
+ 10. The correspondence also shows that AUSA
72
+ was interested in finding a place to
73
+ conclude a plea bargain that would effectively keep the victims from learning what was
74
+ happening through the press.
75
+ She wrote in an e-mail to defense counsel: "On an avoid the
76
+ press' note, I believe that Mr. Epstein's airplane was in Miami on the day of the Ms. Groff
77
+ telephone call. If he was in Mimi-Dade County at the time, then I can file the charge in the
78
+ District Court in Miami, which will hopefully cut the press coverage significantly." U.S.
79
+ Attorney's Correspondence at 29. Ms.
80
+ was aware that most of the victims of Epstein,
81
+ • Through diligent efforts, counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 received copies of half of the e-mail
82
+ correspondence (the half reflecting
83
+ communications to defense counsel) on about June 30,
84
+ 2010.
85
+ EFTA00206697
86
+
87
+ including Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2, resided in the West Palm Beach area rather than the
88
+ Miami area.
89
+ 11. On about September 24, 2007, Assistant U.S. Attorney A. Marie
90
+ sent an e-mail to
91
+ Jay Lefkowitz, criminal defense counsel for Epstein, regarding the agreement. The e-mail stated
92
+ that the Government and Epstein's counsel would negotiate between themselves about what
93
+ information would be disclosed to the victims about the agreement:
94
+ Thank you, Jay.
95
+ I have forwarded your message only to Alex [Acosta], Andy,
96
+ and Roland. I don't anticipate it going any further than that. When I receive the
97
+ originals, I will sign and return one copy to you. The other will be placed in the
98
+ case file, which will be kept confidential since it also contains identifying
99
+ information about the girls.
100
+ When we reach an agreement about the attorney representative for the girls, we
101
+ can discuss what I can tell him and the girls about the agreement. I know that
102
+ Andy promised Chief Reiter an update when a resolution was achieved. ...
103
+ Rolando is calling, but Rolando knows not to tell Chief Reiter about the money
104
+ issue, just about what crimes Mr. Epstein is pleading guilty to and the amount of
105
+ time that has been agreed to. Rolando also is telling Chief Reiter not to disclose
106
+ the outcome to anyone.
107
+ U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 153 (emphases added).
108
+ 12. On about September 25, 2007, AUSA
109
+ send an e-mail to Lefkowitz stating: "And
110
+ can we have a conference call to discuss what I may disclose to .... the girls regarding the
111
+ agreement." U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 156.

+ 13. On about September 26, 2007, AUSA.
113
+ sent an e-mail to Lefkowitz in which she
114
+ stated: "Hi Jay - Can you give me a call at 561 209-[xxxx] this morning? I am meeting with the
115
+ agents and want to give them their marching orders regarding what they can tell the girls." U.S.
116
+ Attorney's Correspondence at xxxxx. The reasonable inference is that the "marching orders"
117
+ agreed to between the Government and Epstein's defense counsel was that no mention would be
118
+ EFTA00206698
119
+
120
+ made of the non-prosecution agreement between the U.S. Attorney's Office and Epstein, as no
121
+ subsequent mention was made to the victims of the non-prosecution agreement.
122
+ 14.
123
+ On about September 27, 2007, Assistant U.S. Attorney A. Marie
124
+ revealed to an
125
+ attorney (Bert Ocariz), who was under discussion to be a representative of victims of Epstein's
126
+ sexual abuse, that a non-prosecution agreement was in the process of being reached with Epstein.
127
+ The e-mail stated: "Bert's firm has raised a number of good questions about how they are going
128
+ to get paid." U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 161. The e-mail went on to state: "I told Bert
129
+ that as part of our agreement we (the federal government) are not going to indict Mr. Epstein, but
130
+ him an idea of the charged that we had planned to bring as related to 18 USC 2255." Id. The e-
131
+ mail also asked permission from Epstein's counsel to send to Ocariz a copy of parts of the plea
132
+ agreement: "With respect to question 2 [a question from Ocariz regarding "[w]hen will it be
133
+ possible to see the plea agreement so that we understand exactly what Epstein concedes to in the
134
+ civil case?], do I have your permission to send Bert just that section of the plea agreement that
135
+ applies to the damages claims (I would recommend sending paragraphs 7 through 10, or at least
136
+ 7 and 8)?" Id.
137
+ 15. In a letter later sent by Jay Lefkowitz to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of
138
+ Florida, Lefkowitz stated that ASUA
139
+ had "assiduously" hidden from him the fact that
140
+ Bert Ocariz was a friend of
141
+ • boyfriend. U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 267.
142
+ Lefkowitz also stated that
143
+ had misleadingly used the term "friend" rather than the more
144
+ accurate term "boyfriend" to describe the connection. Id. at 268 Lefkowitz further stated the
145
+ boyfriend had a business relationship with Ocariz and that the boyfriend would have
146
+ financially benefitted from the presumably lucrative referral of sexual assault cases against
147
+ Epstein to Ocariz. On December 13, 2007,
148
+ wrote a letter to Lefkowitz to deny these
149
+ EFTA00206699
150
+
151
+ accusations. In the letter,
152
+ stated: "... I am surprised by your allegations regarding my
153
+ role because I thought that we had worked very well together in resolving this dispute. I also am
154
+ surprised because I feel that I bent over backwards to keep in mind the effect that the agreement
155
+ would have on Mr. Epstein and to make sure that you (and he) understood the repercussions of
156
+ the agreement." Id.
157
+ 16.
158
+ On about September 24, 2007, Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office reached an
159
+ agreement whereby the United States would defer federal prosecution in favor of prosecution by
160
+ the State of Florida. Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office accordingly entered into a "Non-
161
+ Prosecution Agreement" (NPA) reflecting their agreement. Most significantly, the NPA gave
162
+ Epstein a promise that he would not be prosecuted for a series of federal felony offenses
163
+ involving his sexual abuse of more than 30 minor girls. The NPA instead allowed Epstein to
164
+ plead guilty to two state felony offenses for solicitation of prostitution and procurement of
165
+ minors for prostitution. The NPA also set up a procedure whereby a victim of Epstein's sexual
166
+ abuse could obtain an attorney to proceed with a civil claim against Epstein, provided that the
167
+ victim agreed to proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 (i.e., provided that the victim
168
+ agreed to seek no more than $150,000 in damages against Epstein). See Affidavit of Bradley J.
169
+ Edwards, Attachment xxxxxx (copy of the non-prosecution agreement). The agreement was
170
+ signed by Epstein and his legal counsel, as well as the U.S. Attorney's Office, on about
171
+ September 24, 2007.
172
+ 17. A provision in the non-prosecution agreement made the agreement secret. In particular, the
173
+ agreement stated: "The parties anticipate that this agreement will not be made part of any public
174
+ record.
175
+ If the United States receives a Freedom of Information Act request or any compulsory
176
+ process commanding the disclosure of the agreement, it will provide notice to Epstein before
177
+ EFTA00206700
178
+
179
+ making the disclosure." See Edwards Declaration, Exhibit xxx (copy of the non-prosecution
180
+ agreement), at &13.
181
+ By entering into such a confidentiality agreement, the U.S. Attorney's
182
+ Office put itself in a position notifying the crime victims (including Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe
183
+ #2) of the non-prosecution agreement would violate terms of the agreement - specifically the
184
+ confidentiality provision. Accordingly, from September 24, 2007 through at least June 2008 - a
185
+ period of more than nine months -- the U.S Attorney's Office did not notify any of the victims of
186
+ the existence of the non-prosecution agreement.
187
+ 18. A reasonable inference from the evidence is that the U.S. Attorney's Office wanted the non-
188
+ prosecution agreement kept from public view because of the intense public criticism that would
189
+ have resulted from allowing a billionaire who had sexually abused more than 40 minor girls to
190
+ escape from federal prosecution with only a county court jail sentence and because of the
191
+ possibility that the victims could have objected to the agreement in court and prevented its
192
+ consummation.
193
+ 19. The Non-Prosecution Agreement that had been entered into between the U.S. Attorney's
194
+ Office and Epstein was subsequently modified by an October 2007 Addendum and a December
195
+ 19, 2007, letter from the U.S. Attorney to Attorney Lilly Ann Sanchez. See Supplemental
196
+ Declaration of A. Marie
197
+ doc. #35, at 1; U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 234-37.
198
+ The U.S. Attorney's Office did not notify any of the victims of the existence of these
199
+ modifications of the agreement through at least June 2008 - a period of more than six months.
200
+ On about August 14, 2008, Epstein's defense counsel told the U.S. Attorney's Office that they
201
+ did not consider the December 19, 2007, letter to be operative. Id.
202
+ 20.
203
+ In October 2007, shortly after the initial plea agreement was signed, Jane Doe #1 was
204
+ contacted to be advised regarding the resolution of the investigation. On October 26, 2007,
205
+ EFTA00206701
206
+
207
+ .. met in person with Jane Doe #1. The
208
+ Special Agents explained that Epstein would plead guilty to state charges, he would be required
209
+ to register as a sex offender for life, and he had made certain concessions related to the payment
210
+ of damages to the victims, including Jane Doe #1. During this meeting, the Special Agents did
211
+ not explain that an agreement had already been signed that precluded any prosecution of Epstein
212
+ for federal charges.
213
+ The agents could not have revealed this part of the non-prosecution
214
+ agreement without violating the terms of the non-prosecution agreement. Whether the agents
215
+ themselves had been informed of the existence of the non-prosecution agreement by the U.S.
216
+ Attorney's Office is not certain. Because the plea agreement had already been reached with
217
+ Epstein, the agents made no attempt to secure Jane Doe #1's view on the proposed resolution of
218
+ the case. Edwards Declaration at xxxxxx.
219
+ 21.
220
+ Jane Doe #1's perception of the explanation provided by the Special Agents was that only
221
+ the State part of the Epstein investigation had been resolved, and that the federal investigation
222
+ would continue, possibly leading to a federal prosecution. Edwards Declaration at xxxxxx.
223
+ 22.
224
+ On about November 27, 2007, Assistant U.S. Attorney L SC
225
+ sent an e-mail to Jay
226
+ Lefkowitz, defense counsel for Epstein. The e-mail stated:
227
+ The United States has a statutory obligation (Justice for All Act of 2004) to notify
228
+ Lomorrow will make one full week since you were formally notified of the
229
+ election. I must insist that the vetting process come to an end. Therefore, unles
230
+ by COB tomorrow, I will simultaneously send you a draft of the letter. I intend to
231
+ notify the victims by letter after COB Thursday, November 29th.
232
+ U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 255.
233
+ EFTA00206702
234
+
235
+ 23. On about November 29, 2007, Assistant U.S. Attorney A. Marie
236
+ sent a draft of a
237
+ crime victim notification letter to Jay Lefkowitz, defense counsel for Jeffrey Epstein. The
238
+ notification letter explained: "I am writing to inform you that the federal investigation of Jeffrey
239
+ Epstein has been completed, and Mr. Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office have reached an
240
+ agreement containing the following terms ...." The letter then went on to explain that Epstein
241
+ would plead guilty to two state offenses and receive an 18 month sentence. The letter did not
242
+ explain that, as part of the agreement with Epstein, the Justice Department was agreeing not to
243
+ prosecute Epstein for any of the numerous federal offenses that had been committed. U.S.
244
+ Attorney's Correspondence at 256-59.
245
+ 24. Apparently because of concerns from Epstein's attorneys, the U.S. Attorney's Office never
246
+ sent the proposed victim notification letter discussed in the previous paragraph to the victims.
247
+ Instead, a misleading letter stating that the case was "currently under investigation" (described
248
+ below) was sent in January 2008. At no time before reaching non-prosecution agreement did the
249
+ Justice Department contact any victims, including Jane Doe #1, about their views on the non-
250
+ prosecution.
251
+ 25. On about December 6, 2007, Jeffrey H. L
252
+ , First Assistant U.S. Attorney sent a letter to
253
+ Jay Lefkowitz, noting the U.S. Attorney's Office's legal obligations to keep victims informed of
254
+ the status of plea negotiations with Epstein. The letter stated:
255
+ Finally, let me address your objections to the draft Vietim Notification Letter.
256
+ You write that you don't understand the basis for the Office's belief that it is
257
+ appropriate to notify the victims. Pursuant to the "Justice for All Act of 2004,
258
+ [another name from the CVRA] crime victims are entitled to: "The right to
259
+ inasrine, crue an he mily not to be excluded rom any sech eding court
260
+ EFTA00206703
261
+
262
+ crime victims are notified of, and accorded, the rights described in subection (a)."
263
+ 18 U.S.C. § 3771(c)(1)....
264
+ Our Non-Prosecution Agreement resolves the federal investigation by allowing
265
+ Mr. Epstein to plead to a state offense. The victims identified through the federal
266
+ investigation should be appropriately informed, and our Non-Prosecution
267
+ Agreement does not require the U.S. Attorney's Office to forego its legal
268
+ obligation.
269
+ U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 191-92.
270
+ 26. Despite this recognition of its obligation to keep victims "appropriately informed" about the
271
+ non-prosecution agreement, the U.S. Attorney's Office did not follow through and inform the
272
+ victims of the non-prosecution agreement. To the contrary, as discussed below, it continued to
273
+ tell the victims that the case was "under investigation." Edwards Declaration at xxxxxxx.
274
+ 27. On December 13, 2007, A. Marie
275
+ sent a letter to Jay Lefkowitz, defense
276
+ counsel for Epstein, rebutting charges that had apparently been made against her by the Epstein
277
+ defense. The letter stated that a federal indictment against Epstein "was postponed for more than
278
+ five months to allow you and Mr. Epstein's other attorneys to make presentations to the Office to
279
+ convince the Office not to prosecute." The letter also recounted that "You and I spent hours
280
+ negotiating the terms [of the non-prosecution agreement], including when to use 'a' versus "the'
281
+ and other minutiae. When you and I could not reach agreement, you repeatedly went over my
282
+ head, involving Messrs. Lourie, Menchel,
283
+ , and Acosta in the negotiations at various
284
+ times." U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 269.
285
+ 28. The December 13, 2007, letter also reveals that the Justice Department stopped making
286
+ victim notifications because of objections from Epstein's criminal defense counsel: "Three
287
+ victims were notified shortly after the signing of the Non-Prosecution Agreement of the general
288
+ terms of the Agreement. You raised objections to any victim notification, and no further
289
+ notifications were done." U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 270 (emphasis added).
290
+ EFTA00206704
291
+
292
+ 29.
293
+ Following the signing of the Agreement and the modifications thereto, Epstein's
294
+ performance was delayed while he sought higher level review within the Department of Justice.
295
+ See U.S. Attorney's Correspondence passim.
296
+ 30.
297
+ On January 10, 2008, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 received letters from the FBI
298
+ advising them that "[t]his case is currently under investigation. This can be a lengthy process
299
+ and we request you continued patience while we conduct a thorough investigation." See Doc.
300
+ #14 (attachments 3 and 4 to declaration of A. Marie l
301
+ ) (emphasis added). The statement
302
+ in the notification letter was false. The case was not currently "under investigation." To the
303
+ contrary, the case had been resolved by the non-prosecution agreement entered into by Epstein
304
+ and the U.S. Attorney's Office discussed previously. Moreover, the FBI did not notify Jane Doe
305
+ #1 or Jane Doe #2 that a plea agreement had been reached previously, and that part of the
306
+ agreement was a non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern
307
+ District of Florida. Edwards Declaration at xxxx.
308
+ 31.
309
+ In early 2008, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 came to believe that criminal prosecution
310
+ of Epstein was extremely important. The also desired to be consulted by the FBI and/or other
311
+ representatives of the federal government about the prosecution of Epstein. In light of the letters
312
+ that they had received around January 10, they believed that a criminal investigation of Epstein
313
+ was on-going and that they would be contacted before the federal government reached any final
314
+ resolution of that investigation. Edwards Declaration at xxxx.
315
+ 32.
316
+ On about February 25, 2008, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay
317
+ sent an e-mail to Jay
318
+ Lefkowitz, Epstein's criminal defense counsel, explaining that the Justice Department's Child
319
+ Exploitation Obscenity Section (CEOS) had agreed to review Epstein's objections to the
320
+ proposed plea agreement that had been reached with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern
321
+ EFTA00206705
322
+
323
+ District of Florida. The letter indicated that, should CEOS reject Epstein's objections to the
324
+ agreement, then "Mr. Epstein shall have one week to abide by the terms and conditions of the
325
+ September 24, 2007 Agreement as amended by letter from United States Attorney Acosta to Jay
326
+ Lefkowitz." U.S. Attorneys Correspondence at 290-91.
327
+ 33.
328
+ In about April 2008, Jane Doe #1 contacted the FBI because Epstein's counsel was
329
+ attempting to take her deposition and private investigators were harassing her. Assistant U.S.
330
+ Attorney A. Marie
331
+ secured pro bono counsel to represent Jane Doe #1 and several
332
+ other identified victims in connection with the criminal investigation. Pro bono counsel was able
333
+ to assist Jane Doe #1 in avoiding the improper deposition. AUSA
334
+ secured pro bono
335
+ counsel by contacting Meg Garvin, Esq. of the the National Crime Victims' Law Center in
336
+ Portland, Oregon, which is based in the Lewis & Clark College of Law. During the call, Ms.
337
+ Garvin was not advised that a non-prosecution agreement had been reached in this matter.
338
+ 34.
339
+ In mid-June 2008, Mr. Edwards contacted AUSA
340
+ to inform her that he
341
+ represented Jane Doe #1 and, later, Jane Doe #2. Mr. Edwards asked to meet to provide
342
+ information about the federal crimes committed by Epstein, hoping to secure a significant federal
343
+ indictment against Epstein. AUSA
344
+ and Mr. Edwards discussed the possibility of
345
+ federal charges being filed. At the end of the call, AUSA
346
+ asked Mr. Edwards was
347
+ asked to send any information that he wanted considered by the U.S. Attorney's Office in
348
+ determining whether to file federal charges.
349
+ Because of the confidentiality provision that existed
350
+ in the plea agreement, Mr. Edwards was not informed that previously, in September 2007, the
351
+ U.S. Attorney's Office had reached an agreement not to file federal charges.
352
+ Mr. Edwards was
353
+ also not informed that any resolution of the criminal matter was imminent. Edwards Declaration
354
+ at xxxxxx.
355
+ EFTA00206706
356
+
357
+ 35.
358
+ On Friday, June 27, 2008, at approximately 4:15 p.m., AUSA
359
+ received a copy
360
+ of Epstein's proposed state plea agreement and learned that the plea was scheduled for 8:30 a.m.,
361
+ Monday, June 30, 2008. AUSA
362
+ and the Palm Beach Police Department attempted to
363
+ provide notification to victims in the short time that Epstein's counsel had provided. Attorney
364
+ Edwards was called to provide notice to his clients regarding the hearing. AUSA |
365
+ did
366
+ not tell Attorney Edwards that the guilty pleas in state court would bring an end to the possibility
367
+ of federal prosecution pursuant to the plea agreement. Edwards Declaration at xxxxxx.
368
+ 36.
369
+ On June 30, 2008, AUSA
370
+ sent an e-mail to Jack Goldberger, criminal defense
371
+ counsel for Epstein, that stated: "Jack: The FBI has received several calls regarding the Non-
372
+ Prosecution Agreement. I do not know whether the title of the document was disclosed when the
373
+ Agreement was filed under seal, but the FBI and our office are declining comment if asked."
374
+ U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 321.
375
+ 37.
376
+ On July 3, 2008, Mr. Edwards sent to AUSA
377
+ a letter. See Affidavit of Bradley
378
+ J. Edwards, Esq., at xxxxxx (attachment 2). In the letter, Mr. Edwards indicated his client's
379
+ desire that federal charges be filed against defendant Epstein. In particular, he wrote on behalf of
380
+ his clients: "We urge the Attorney General and our United States Attorney to consider the
381
+ fundamental import of the vigorous enforcement of our Federal laws. We urge you to move
382
+ forward with the traditional indictments and criminal prosecution commensurate with the crimes
383
+ Mr. Epstein has committed, and we further urge you to take the steps necessary to protect our
384
+ children from this very dangerous sexual predator." When Mr. Edwards wrote this letter, he was
385
+ still unaware that a non-prosecution agreement had been reached with Epstein - a fact that
386
+ continued to be concealed from him (and the victims) by the U.S. Attorney's Office. Mr.
387
+ Edwards first saw a reference to the NPA on or after July 9, 2008, when the Government filed its
388
+ EFTA00206707
389
+
390
+ responsive pleading to Jane Doe's emergency petition. That pleading was the first public
391
+ mention of the non-prosecution agreement and the first disclosure to Mr. Edwards (and thus to
392
+ Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2) of the possible existence of a non-prosecution agreement.
393
+ Edwards Declaration at xxxx.
394
+ 38.
395
+ On July 9, 2008, AUSA
396
+ sent a victim notification to Jane Doe #1 via her
397
+ attorney, Bradley Edwards, which is attached as Exhibit 6 to the
398
+ Declaration. That
399
+ notification contains a written explanation of some of the terms of the agreement between
400
+ Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office. A full copy of the terms was not provided. A
401
+ notification was not provided to Jane Doe #2 because the agreement limited Epstein's liability to
402
+ victims whom the United States was prepared to name in an indictment. As a result, Jane Doe #2
403
+ never received a notification a letter about the agreement. The notification did not mention the
404
+ non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office. Edwards Declaration at xxxx.
405
+ 39. On July 9, 2008, AUSA
406
+ filed a sworn declaration with the Court in connection
407
+ with the case (doc. #14). The declaration purported to recount limit parts of the non-prosecution
408
+ agreement and stated that "these provisions were discussed" with several victims, including Jane
409
+ Doe #1. Id. at 4.
410
+ 40.
411
+ On July 11, 2008, the Court held a hearing on Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2's Emergency
412
+ Petition for Enforcement of Rights. During the hearing, the Government conceded that Jane Doe
413
+ #1 and Jane Doe #2 were "victims" within the meaning of the Crime Victim's Rights Act. Tr. at
414
+ 14-15.
415
+ 41. During the July 11 hearing, the Court and the parties discussed the fact that the petition
416
+ should not be treated as an "emergency" petition because there was not any particular rush to
417
+ ruling on it. Tr. at 24-25.
418
+ The Court further discussed a need to "hav[e] a complete record, and
419
+ EFTA00206708
420
+
421
+ this is going to be an issue that's ... going to go to the Eleventh Circuit, [s] it] may be better to
422
+ have acomplete record as to what your position is and the government's is as to what actions
423
+ were taken. And I don't know if I have enough information, based on Ms. Villafana's affidavit
424
+ or I need additional information. And because it is not an emergency, I don't have to do
425
+ something quickly, we can play it b[y] ear and make this into a more complete record for the
426
+ court of appeals." Tr. at 25-26. (
427
+ Counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 explained: " ...
428
+ Your Honor is correct in stating that it is not an emergency and it doesn't need to happen today.
429
+ And, I will confer with the government on this and if evidence needs to be taken, it [can] be
430
+ taken at a later date. It doesn't seem like there will be any prejudice to any party [from delay]."
431
+ Tr. at 26. The hearing concluded: "So I'll let both of you confer about whether there is a need
432
+ for any additional evidence to be presented. Let me know one way or the other. If there is, we'll
433
+ schedule a hearing. If there isn't and you want to submit some additional stipulated information,
434
+ do that, and then I'll take care of this in due course." Tr. at 32. The Court then adjourned, taking
435
+ the victims' petition under advisement.
436
+ 42. The U.S. Attorney's Office and the victims then attempted to reach a stipulated set of facts
437
+ underlying the case. The U.S. Attorney's Office set a proposed set of facts, and the victims sent
438
+ a counter-proposal. Rather than respond to the victims' proposal, however, the U.S. Attorney's
439
+ Office suddenly reversed course. (Doc. #19 at 2). On July 29, 2008, it filed a Notice to Court
440
+ Regarding Absence of Need for Evidentiary Hearing (doc. #17). The Government took the
441
+ position that, because no federal criminal charges had been filed in the Southern District of
442
+ Florida, no additional evidence was required to decide the petition before the Court.
443
+ 43. On August 1, 2008, Jane Doe #land Jane Doe #2 filed (doc. #19) a response to the
444
+ Government's "Notice."
445
+ In the response, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 gave a proposed
446
+ EFTA00206709
447
+
448
+ statement of facts surrounding the case. The proposed statement of fact was based on the
449
+ information available to the victims at that time. The proposed statement of facts highlighted the
450
+ fact that the Government had signed a non-prosecution agreement containing an express
451
+ confidentiality provision, which prevented the Government from disclosing the agreement to
452
+ them and other victims. Id. at 5. The response also noted that the Court had taken the victims'
453
+ petition under advisement. The response further noted that the Government had not attempted to
454
+ work with the victims to draft a full set of undisputed facts and had refused the victims' efforts to
455
+ obtain documents relevant to the case. Id. at 9. The victims response also requested that the
456
+ Court direct the Government to confer with the victims regarding the undisputed facts of the
457
+ case, produce the non-prosecution agreement at issue in the case, and produce an FBI Report of
458
+ Interview with Jane Doe #1. The response also requested that the Court enter judgment for the
459
+ victims' on their petition finding a violation of rights and schedule a hearing on the appropriate
460
+ remedy. Id. at 14.
461
+ 44.On August 14, 2008, the Court held a hearing on the case. No schedule for further
462
+ proceedings was established at that hearing.
463
+ 45. On October 9, 2008, Bradley J. Edwards, counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2, sent a
464
+ letter to counsel for the U.S. Attorney's Office in this case advising that two possibly false
465
+ statements had been made to the Court in the July 9th sworn declaration of AUSA |
466
+ See
467
+ Oct. 9, 2008, Letter from Bradley J. Edwards to Marie
468
+ at 1, Attachment xxxx to
469
+ Edwards Declaration. First, while Ms.
470
+ had described a term as being part of the plea
471
+ agreement with Epstein, that term later became defunct, at least in the view of Epstein's
472
+ attorneys (and apparently acceded to by the U.S. Attorney's Office). Second, Ms.
473
+ had
474
+ EFTA00206710
475
+
476
+ said that "four victims [including C.W. - i.e., Jane Doe #1] were contacted and these provisions
477
+ were discussed," it was not clear what provisions had in fact been discussed.
478
+ 46. On December 22, 2008, AUSA Marie l
479
+ filed a supplemental affidavit, "correcting"
480
+ the statement made in her July 8, 2008, declaration about the terms of the plea agreement (doc.
481
+ #35). The supplemental affidavit stated that "part 3" of the agreement with defendant Epstein
482
+ was, in the view Epstein' legal counsel no longer operative. The supplemental affidavit,
483
+ however, did not clarify what terms of the agreement had been discussed.
484
+ 47. On April 9, 2009, counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 sent to the Court in this case
485
+ (via the PACER system) a notice of a change of law firm affiliation. Doc. #37.
486
+ 48. In approximately May 2009, counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 propounded
487
+ discovery requests in both state and federal civil cases against Epstein, seeking to obtain
488
+ correspondence between Epstein and prosecutors regarding his plea agreement - information that
489
+ the U.S. Attorney's Office was unwilling to provide to Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2. Epstein
490
+ refused to produce that information, and extended litigation to obtain the materials followed.
491
+ Edwards Declaration at xxxxx.
492
+ 49. Because of this extended litigation, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 did not have access to
493
+ important correspondence demonstrating a violation of their rights until June 30, 2010. On that
494
+ day, counsel for Epstein sent to Bradley J. Edwards, Esq., legal counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane
495
+ Doe #2, approximately 358 pages of e-mail correspondence between his legal counsel and the
496
+ U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida regarding the plea agreement that had
497
+ been negotiated between them. See Attachment 1 to Edwards Aff. These e-mail disclosed for
498
+ the first time the steps that had been taken by the U.S. Attorney's Office to avoid having the
499
+ victims in the case learn about the non-prosecution agreement that had been reached between
500
+ EFTA00206711
501
+
502
+ Epstein and the Government.
503
+ Litigation continues to this day to obtain the correspondence
504
+ regarding
505
+ the state prosecution and regarding
506
+ what Epstein's attorneys said in the
507
+ correspondence with the prosecutors. Edwards Declaration at xxxxxx.
508
+ 50. In mid-July 2010, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 settled their civil lawsuits against Mr.
509
+ Epstein. Notice of this fact was promptly provided to the Court. Edwards Declaration at xxx.
510
+ 51. On September 8, 2010, the Court entered an order stating that "[a]n examination fo the
511
+ docket reveals that no activity has taken place in this case since April of 2009. In light of the
512
+ underlying settlements between the victims and Mr. Epstein, it is hereby ordered and adjudged
513
+ that this case is closed." Doc. #38.
514
+ 52. Promptly on the heels of this administrative order, on September 13, 2010, Jane Doe #1 and
515
+ Jane Doe #2 filed a notice that they "intend to make subsequent filing in the case shortly. They
516
+ accordingly request administrative reopening of the case and, if the Court deems it advisable, a
517
+ scheduling conference with the U.S. Attorney's Office regarding the case." Doc. #39 at 1. They
518
+ further advised the Court that their settlements with Jeffrey Epstein in no way affected "their
519
+ determination to move forward with the above-captioned CVRA action against a different entity
520
+ - the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida." Id. at 2. The pleading further
521
+ advised that "Tilf the Court wishes to proceed to an expeditious conclusion to this Case, Jane Doe
522
+ #1 and Jane Doe #2 have no objection to the Court setting up an expedited schedule for
523
+ proceeding on the case." Id. The pleading further advised that the reason the victims had not
524
+ filed for summary judgment in the case was that they had been attempting to secure
525
+ correspondence between the U.S. Attorney's Office and Epstein to corroborate their argument
526
+ that the Office had violated their rights. They noted that they had just secured half of that
527
+ EFTA00206712
528
+
529
+ correspondence two months earlier.
530
+ Id. at 2. The victim asked that, "if the Court deems it
531
+ advisable, that a scheduling conference be set for this case."
532
+ 53. At all times material to this statement of facts, it would have been practical and feasible for
533
+ federal government to inform Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 of the details of the proposed non-
534
+ prosecution agreement with Epstein, including in particular the fact that the agreement barred
535
+ any federal criminal prosecution. Edwards Declaration at xxxx.

+ motion") along with a Motion to Have Their Facts Accepted Because of the Government's
24
+ Failure to Contest Any of the Facts (DE 49).
25
+ EFTA00205316
26
+
27
+ On September 26, 2011, the Court denied the victims' motion to have their facts accepted
28
+ (DE 99 at 11). At the same time, however, the Court has ordered discovery to develop the
29
+ factual record concerning the summary judgment motion (DE 99 at 11). The Court reserved
30
+ ruling on the victims' motion for an order directing the Government not to suppress relevant
31
+ evidence (DE 99 at 11).
32
+ On September 28, 2011, the victims requested that the Government voluntarily provide
33
+ documents concerning this case. The Government declined to provide even a single document.
34
+ On October 3, 2011, the victims sent requests for production of documents relevant to
35
+ this case.
36
+ On November 8, 2011, the same day that the production of this discovery was due, rather
37
+ than produce a single item of discovery or stipulate to a single fact, the Government filed a
38
+ motion to dismiss the victims' case. The Government also filed an accompanying motion for a
39
+ stay in this case.
40
+ On November 8, 2011, the Government filed an ex parte, sealed motion to stay further
41
+ discovery in this case. (DE 121). On November 9, 2011, the Court granted an ex parte, sealed
42
+ order to stay. (DE 123).
43
+ On December 5, 2011, the victims filed a response to Government's motion to stay. The
44
+ victims strenuously objected to the Government's approach, alleging specifically that "delay
45
+ appears to be the Government's motivation for filing the motion to dismiss." DE 129 at 2. The
46
+ victims went on to recount the fact that the Government had waited three years to file a motion to
47
+ dismiss, concluding that "as a practical matter, the Government's motion has had the desired
48
+ effect of delay: While its motion remains pending, the victims have been effectively denied any
49
+ ability to obtain discovery from the Government." DE 129 at 2-3. The victims also filed a
50
+ EFTA00205317
51
+
52
+ protection motion to compel (DE 130) asking that the Court direct the Government to produce
53
+ the requested materials.
54
+ On January 24, 2012, the Government filed a reply in support of its motion to stay. DE
55
+ 140. In that reply, the Government represented that it would voluntarily be providing
56
+ information to the victims:
57
+ "IT]he United States has agreed to provide some information to [the
58
+ victims] even during the pendency of the stay and is undertaking a search for that
59
+ information." DE 140 at 4. Contrary to that representation, however, over the next seventeen
60
+ months, the Government did not provide any information to the victims.
61
+ A year after the Government's motion to dismiss, on December 6, 2012, the victims filed
62
+ a Motion for a Prompt Ruling Denying the Government's Motion for a Stay (DE 179). The
63
+ motion explained that it had been more than a year since the Government had filed its motion for
64
+ a stay and that the Government's refusal to produce any information continues to effective block
65
+ the victims from learning what happened during the Government's plea negotiations with the
66
+ man who sexually abused them. The Government filed a response in opposition to that motion
67
+ (DE 182).
68
+ On February 25, 2013, counsel for the victims sent a request to the Government that, in
69
+ view of that fact that its requested stay had never been granted, it should begin fulfilling its
70
+ court-ordered discovery obligations:
71
+ The victims believe that in view of fact that it has been more than fifteen
72
+ months since the Government filed its motion for a stay of discovery and yet the
73
+ Court has not granted that motion, the Court's discovery order is in effect and
74
+ controlling. Accordingly, the victims respectfully request that by March 8, 2013,
75
+ the Government produce all of the materials which is covered by the victims'
76
+ liscovery requests. If the Government has not produced those materials b
77
+ March 8, 2013, the victims may be forced to seek the intervention of the Court t
78
+ order the Government to follow its obligations.
79
+ If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to set up a time
80
+ where we can talk to you over the phone about all this. We are happy to work
81
+ EFTA00205318
82
+
83
+ with you to try and minimize any unnecessary burden from your discovery
84
+ obligations.
85
+ E-mail from Paul G. Cassell & Bradley J. Edwards to Dexter Lee, et al., Counsel for the
86
+ Government (February 25, 2013).
87
+ The Government ignored the e-mail and did not respond in any way.
88
+ Accordingly, in view of the Government recalcitrance and refusal to even discuss its
89
+ discovery obligations, on March 14, 2013, the victims filed a motion to compel production of
90
+ discovery materials. The Government did not respond to this motion.
91
+ On June 1, 2013, the Court denied the Government's motion to dismiss. DE 189. That
92
+ denial also lifted stay of discovery proceedings. DE 189 at 14 ("The stay of discovery pending
93
+ ruling on the Government's motion to dismiss entered on November 8, 2011 [DE# 123] is also
94
+ lifted."). The Court also entered an Omnibus Order (DE 190) that, among other things, granted
95
+ the victim motion to compel (DE 130).
96
+ SUPPLEMENTAL DISCOVERY REQUEST
97
+ The victims now request one specific item of supplemental discovery relating to information
98
+ that, in large measure, has come into existence since they filed the first request for production of
99
+ documents on October 3, 2011:
100
+ Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 have asked the Government to investigate their allegations that
101
+ the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida entered into a non-prosecution
102
+ agreement with Jeffrey Epstein for sexual offenses committed against them and other victims
103
+ based on considerations apart from the merits of the criminal case and also that violations of
104
+ criminal law, rules of ethics, Justice Department policies (including policies on crime
105
+ victims' rights), and the Crime Victims Rights Act occurred during the negotiations leading
106
+ up to and surrounding the entry of the non-prosecution agreement. Please provide any
107
+ information that the Government has developed concerning or relating to those allegations
108
+ and the handling of the negotiations and consummation of the non-prosecution agreement,
109
+ including any information developed by the Justice Department's Office of Professional
110
+ Responsibility (OPR), the Federal Bureau of Investigation or other federal investigative
111
+ entity, and any grand jury investigating these (or releated) allegations, including any grand
112

4
+ JANE DOES #1 and #2
5
+ V.
6
+ UNITED STATES
7
+ JANE DOE #1 AND JANE DOE #2'S MOTION FOR FINDING OF VIOLATIONS OF
8
+ THE CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS ACT, REQUEST FOR AN EVIDENTIARY
9
+ HEARING IF FACTS ARE CONTESTED, AND REQUEST FOR HEARING ON
10
+ APPROPRIATE REMEDIES
11
+ COMES NOW Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 (also referred to as "the victims"), by and
12
+ through undersigned counsel, to move for a finding from this Court that their rights as crime
13
+ victims under the Crime Victims Rights Act (CVRA) have been repeatedly violated by the U.S.
14
+ Attorney's Office, to request an evidentiary hearing to establish those violations if the U.S.
15
+ Attorney's Office contests the underlying facts, and to request a brief schedule and a hearing on
16
+ the appropriate remedies for these violations.
17
+ As recounted in more detail below, the victims have recently-obtained correspondence
18
+ between the U.S. Attorney's Office and defendant Jeffrey Epstein. Based on this correspondence
19
+ and other evidence, it is now clear that the U.S. Attorney's Office has repeatedly violated the
20
+ protected rights of the victims under the CVRA, including their right to confer with prosecutors
21
+ generally about the case and specifically about a non-prosecution agreement it signed with the
22
+ defendant. It is now beyond dispute that in September 2007, the U.S. Attorney's Office reached
23
+ a non-prosecution agreement with Jeffrey Epstein that barred his prosecution for numerous
24
+ 1
25
+ EFTA00206835
26
+
27
+ federal sex offense he committed against the victims (as well as against many other minor girls).
28
+ Rather than confer with the victims about this non-prosecution agreement, however, the U.S.
29
+ Attorney's Office agreed to a
30
+ "confidentiality" provision in the agreement barring the
31
+ agreement's disclosure to anyone - including the victims. For the next nine months, the U.S.
32
+ Attorney's Office assiduously concealed from the victims the existence of this signed non-
33
+ prosecution agreement.
34
+ For example, the U.S. Attorney's Office stopped sending victim
35
+ notifications about the case when defendant Epstein objected. Indeed, the Office went so far as
36
+ to send (in January 2008) a false victim notification letter to the victims informing them that the
37
+ "case is currently under investigation," when in fact the U.S. Attorney's Office had already
38
+ resolved the case three months earlier by signing the non-prosecution agreement. Again on May
39
+ 30, 2008, the U.S. Attorney's Office sent yet another victim notification letter to a recognized
40
+ victim informing her that the "case is currently under investigation" and that it "can be a lengthy
41
+ process and we request your continued patience while we conduct a thorough investigation."
42
+ Then in June 2008, on the eve of consummating Epstein's state guilty plea that was part non-
43
+ prosecution agreement, the U.S. Attorney's Office asked legal counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane
44
+ Doe #2 to send a letter in writing expressing the victims' views on a possible plea bargain - not
45
+ disclosing to the victims' legal counsel that this was a pointless exercise because the non-
46
+ prosecution agreement had already been signed some nine months earlier.
47
+ All of these actions and many more like them constitute clear violations of Jane Doe #1
48
+ and Jane Doe #2's rights under the Crime Victims Rights Act. The Court should accordingly
49
+ find that the U.S. Attorney's Office has violated the Act and set a briefing schedule and hearing
50
+ on the proper remedy for those violations.
51
+ 2
52
+ EFTA00206836
53
+
54
+ STATEMENT OF FACTS
55
+ Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 offer the following statement of facts, which they are
56
+ prepared to establish at any evidentiary hearing that the Court might schedule.
57
+ 1. Between about 2001 and 2006, defendant Jeffrey Epstein (a billionaire with significant
58
+ political connections) sexually abused more than 40 minor girls at his mansion in West Palm
59
+ Beach, Florida, and elsewhere. Among the girls he sexually abused were Jane Doe #1 and Jane
60
+ Doe #2. Because Epstein used a means of interstate commerce and knowingly traveled in
61
+ interstate commerce to engage to abuse Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 (and the other victims), he
62
+ committed violations of federal law, specifically repeated violations of 18 U.S.C. § 2422.
63
+ 2. In 2006, at the request of the Palm Beach Police Department, the Federal Bureau of
64
+ Investigation ("FBI") opened an investigation into allegations that Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein")
65
+ and his personal assistants had used facilities of interstate commerce to induce young girls
66
+ between the ages of thirteen and seventeen to engage in prostitution, among other offenses. The
67
+ case was presented to the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida,
68
+ which accepted the case for investigation. The Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office was
69
+ also investigating the case. See Declaration of Bradley J. Edwards, Esq. at & & 1-2 (hereinafter
70
+ "Edwards Declaration").
71
+ 3. The FBI determined that both Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 were victims of sexual assaults
72
+ by Epstein while they were minors beginning when they were approximately fourteen years of
73
+ age and approximately thirteen years of age respectively. Edwards Declaration at & 2.
74
+ 4. On about June 7, 2007, FBI agents hand-delivered to Jane Doe #1 a standard CVRA victim
75
+ notification letter. See Edwards Declaration, Exhibit "A." The notification promises that the
76
+ EFTA00206837
77
+
78
+ Justice Department would makes its "best efforts" to protect Jane Doe #1's rights, including
79
+ "[t]he reasonable right to confer with the attorney for the United States in the case" and "to be
80
+ reasonably heard at any public proceeding in the district court involving ... plea...." The
81
+ notification further explained that "[a]t this time, your case is under investigation." That
82
+ notification meant that the FBI had identified Jane Doe #1 as a victim of a federal offense and as
83
+ someone protected by the CVRA.
84
+ 5. On about August 11, 2007, Jane Doe #2 received a standard CVRA vietim notification letter.
85
+ See Edwards Declaration, Exhibit "B." The notification promised that the Justice Department
86
+ would makes its "best efforts" to protect Jane Doe #2's rights, including "[t]he reasonable right
87
+ to confer with the attorney for the United States in the case" and "to be reasonably heard at any
88
+ public proceeding in the district court involving ... plea...." The notification further explained
89
+ that "[alt this time, your case is under investigation." That notification meant that the FBI had
90
+ identified Jane Doe #2 as a victim of a federal offense and as someone protected by the CVRA.
91
+ 6. Early in the investigation, the FBI agents and the Assistant U.S. Attorney had several
92
+ meetings with Jane Doe #1. Jane Doe #2 was represented by counsel that was paid for by the
93
+ criminal target Epstein and, accordingly, all contact was made through that attorney. Edwards
94
+ Declaration at & 5.
95
+ 7. In and around September 2007, plea discussions took place between Jeffrey Epstein,
96
+ represented by numerous attorneys (including lead criminal defense counsel Jay Lefkowitz), and
97
+ the U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of Florida, represented primarily by Assistant
98
+ U.S. Attorney
99
+ The plea discussions generally began from the premise that
100
+ Epstein would plead guilty at least one federal felony offense surrounding his sexual assaults of
101
+ 4
102
+ EFTA00206838
103
+
104
+ more than 40 minor girls. From there, the numerous defense attorneys progressively negotiated
105
+ more favorable plea terms so that Epstein would ultimately plead to only two state court felony
106
+ offenses and would serve only county jail time. Many of the negotiations are reflected in e-mails
107
+ between Lefkowitz and
108
+ Copies of the correspondence are attached as Exhibit J to the
109
+ Edwards Declaration accompanying this filing (hereinafter cited as "U.S. Attorney's Correspondence"
110
+ and referenced by Bates number stamp). Because Epstein has moved to keep these documents
111
+ from the public, they are at this time filed under seal with the Court.
112
+ 8. At the time of plea discussions, the U.S. Attorney's Office had an 82-page prosecution
113
+ memorandum outlining numerous federal sexual offenses committed by Epstein, and had
114
+ prepared a 53-page indictment for numerous federal offenses. U.S. Attorney's Correspondence
115
+ at 4.
116
+ 9.
117
+ In September 2007, Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA)
118
+ in an effort to
119
+ avoid prosecuting Epstein for his numerous sexual offenses against children, proposed to
120
+ Epstein's attorneys that rather than plea to any charges relating to him molesting children,
121
+ Epstein should instead plead to a single assault charge involving a telephone call made by
122
+ Epstein while he was on his private jet. During the telephone call, Epstein warned his personal
123
+ assistant, Lesley Groff, against turning over documents and electronic evidence responsive to a
124
+ subpoena issued by a federal grand jury in the Southern District of Florida investigating
125
+ Epstein's sex offenses. U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 49, 58.
126
+ • Through diligent efforts, counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 received copies of half of the e-mail
127
+ correspondence (the half reflecting Villafaña's communications to defense counsel) on about June 30,
128
+ 2010. See Edwards Declaration at & &20-22.
129
+ 5
130
+ EFTA00206839
131
+
132
+ 10.
133
+ The correspondence also shows that AUSA
134
+ was interested in finding a place to
135
+ conclude a plea bargain that would effectively keep the victims from learning what was
136
+ happening through the press.
137
+ She wrote in an e-mail to defense counsel: "On an 'avoid the
138
+ press' note, I believe that Mr. Epstein's airplane was in Miami on the day of the Ms. Groff
139
+ telephone call. If he was in Mimi-Dade County at the time, then I can file the charge in the
140
+ District Court in Miami, which will hopefully cut the press coverage significantly." U.S.
141
+ Attorney's Correspondence at 29. Ms. Villafaña was aware that most of the victims of Epstein,
142
+ including Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2, resided outside the Miami area.
143
+ 11.
144
+ On about September 24, 2007, Assistant U.S. Attorney
145
+ sent an e-mail
146
+ to Jay Lefkowitz, criminal defense counsel for Epstein, regarding the agreement. The e-mail
147
+ stated that the Government and Epstein's counsel would negotiate between themselves about
148
+ what information would be disclosed to the victims about the agreement:
149
+ Thank you, Jay. I have forwarded your message only to Alex [Acosta],
150
+ and
151
+ I don't anticipate it going any further than that. When I receive the
152
+ originals, I will sign and return one copy to you. The other will be placed in the
153
+ case file, which will be kept confidential since it also contains identifying
154
+ information about the girls.
155
+ When we reach an agreement about the attorney representative for the girls, we
156
+ can discuss what I can tell him and the girls about the agreement. I know that
157
+ I promised Chief Reiter an update when a resolution was achieved. ...
158
+ Rolando is calling, but
159
+ time that has been agreed to.
160
+ the outcome to anyone.
161
+ U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 153 (emphases added).
162
+ 6
163
+ EFTA00206840
164
+
165
+ 12. On about September 25, 2007, AUSA
166
+ sent an e-mail to Lefkowitz stating: "And
167
+ can we have a conference call to discuss what I may disclose to ... the girls regarding the
168
+ agreement." U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 156.
169
+ 13. On about September 26, 2007, AUSA.
170
+ sent an e-mail to Lefkowitz in which she
171
+ stated: "Hi Jay - Can you give me a call al
172
+ [xxxx] this morning? I am meeting with the
173
+ agents and want to give them their marching orders regarding what they can tell the girls." U.S.
174
+ Attorney's Correspondence at 359.
175
+ The reasonable inference is that the "marching orders"
176
+ agreed to between the Government and Epstein's defense counsel was that no mention would be
177
+ made of the non-prosecution agreement between the U.S. Attorney's Office and Epstein, as no
178
+ subsequent mention was made to the victims of the non-prosecution agreement.
179
+ 14.
180
+ On about September 27, 2007, Assistant U.S. Attorney
181
+ revealed to an
182
+ attorney (Bert Ocariz), who was under discussion to be a representative of victims of Epstein's
183
+ sexual abuse in civil litigation, that the government was in the process of reaching a non-
184
+ prosecution agreement with Epstein.
185
+ An e-mail confirming these disclosures stated: "Bert's
186
+ firm has raised a number of good questions about how they are going to get paid." U.S.
187
+ Attorney's Correspondence at 161. The e-mail went on to state: "I told Bert that as part of our
188
+ agreement we (the federal government) are not going to indict Mr. Epstein, but give him an idea
189
+ of the charges that we had planned to bring as related to 18 USC 2255." Id. The e-mail also
190
+ asked permission from Epstein's counsel to send to Ocariz a copy of parts of the plea agreement:
191
+ "With respect to question 2 [a question from Ocariz regarding "[w]hen will it be possible to see
192
+ the plea agreement so that we understand exactly what Epstein concedes to in the civil case?], do
193
+ 7
194
+ EFTA00206841
195
+
196
+ I have your permission to send Bert just that section of the plea agreement that applies to the
197
+ damages claims (I would recommend sending paragraphs 7 through 10, or at least 7 and 8)?" Id.
198
+ 15. On about September 25, 2007, ASUA
199
+ sent a letter to Jay Jefkowitz in which she
200
+ suggested that the victims should be represented by someone who was not an experienced
201
+ personal injury attorney:
202
+ "They [the other lawyers under consideration] are all very good
203
+ personal injury lawyers, but I have concerns about whether there would be an inherent tension
204
+ becaue they may feel that they might make more money ... if they proceed outside the terms of
205
+ the pela agreement. (Sorry - I just have a bias against plaintiffs" attorneys.)" U.S. Attorney's
206
+ Correspondence at 157. Villafaña continued to push Ocariz as the best choice, in part because it
207
+ would reduce publicity: "One nice thing about Bert [Ocariz] is that he is in Miami where teher
208
+ has been almost no coverage of the case." Id.
209
+ 16. In a letter later sent by Jay Lefkowitz to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of
210
+ Florida, Lefkowitz stated that ASUA
211
+ had "assiduously" hidden from him the fact that
212
+ Bert Ocariz was a friend of
213
+ I's boyfriend. U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 267.
214
+ Lefkowitz also stated that
215
+ had misleadingly used the term "friend" rather than the more
216
+ accurate term "boyfriend" to describe who had recommended Ocariz. Id. at 268. Lefkowitz
217
+ further stated the
218
+ I's boyfriend had a business relationship with Ocariz and that the
219
+ boyfriend would have financially benefitted from the presumably lucrative referral of sexual
220
+ assault cases against Epstein to Ocariz. On December 13, 2007,
221
+ wrote a letter to
222
+ Lefkowitz to deny these accusations. In the letter,
223
+ stated: "... I am surprised by your
224
+ allegations regarding my role because I thought that we had worked very well together in
225
+ resolving this dispute. I also am surprised because I feel that I bent over backwards to keep in
226
+ 8
227
+ EFTA00206842
228
+
229
+ mind the effect that the agreement would have on Mr. Epstein and to make sure that you (and he)
230
+ understood the repercussions of the agreement." Id.
231
+ 17.
232
+ On about September 24, 2007, Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office reached an
233
+ agreement whereby the United States would defer federal prosecution in favor of prosecution by
234
+ the State of Florida. Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office accordingly entered into a "Non-
235
+ Prosecution Agreement" (NPA) reflecting their agreement. Most significantly, the NPA gave
236
+ Epstein a promise that he would not be prosecuted for a series of federal felony offenses
237
+ involving his sexual abuse of more than 30 minor girls. The NPA instead allowed Epstein to
238
+ plead guilty to two state felony offenses for solicitation of prostitution and procurement of
239
+ minors for prostitution. The NPA also set up a procedure whereby a victim of Epstein's sexual
240
+ abuse could obtain an attorney representative to proceed with a civil claim against Epstein,
241
+ provided that the victim agreed to proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 (i.e., provided
242
+ that the victim agreed to seek no more than $150,000 in damages against Epstein - an amount
243
+ that Epstein argued later was limited to $50,000). See Edwards Declaration, Exhibit "C" (copy
244
+ of the non-prosecution agreement). The agreement was signed by Epstein and his legal counsel,
245
+ as well as the U.S. Attorney's Office, on about September 24, 2007.
246
+ 18. A provision in the non-prosecution agreement made the agreement secret. In particular,
247
+ the agreement stated: "The parties anticipate that this agreement will not be made part of any
248
+ public record.
249
+ If the United States receives a Freedom of Information Act request or any
250
+ compulsory process commanding the disclosure of the agreement, it will provide notice to
251
+ Epstein before making the disclosure." By entering into such a confidentiality agreement, the
252
+ U.S. Attorney's Office put itself in a position that notifying the crime victims (including Jane
253
+ 9
254
+ EFTA00206843
255
+
256
+ Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2) of the non-prosecution agreement would violate terms of the
257
+ agreement - specifically the confidentiality provision. Accordingly, from September 24, 2007
258
+ through at least June 2008 - a period of more than nine months -- the U.S Attorney's Office did
259
+ not notify any of the victims of the existence of the non-prosecution agreement.
260
+ 19.
261
+ A reasonable inference from the evidence is that the U.S. Attorney's Office wanted the
262
+ non-prosecution agreement kept from public view because of the intense public criticism that
263
+ would have resulted from allowing a politically-connected billionaire who had sexually abused
264
+ more than 40 minor girls to escape from federal prosecution with only a county court jail
265
+ sentence and because of the possibility that the victims could have objected to the agreement in
266
+ court and prevented its consummation.
267
+ 20. The Non-Prosecution Agreement that had been entered into between the U.S. Attorney's
268
+ Office and Epstein was subsequently modified by an October 2007 Addendum and a December
269
+ 19, 2007, letter from the U.S. Attorney to Attorney Lilly Ann Sanchez.
270
+ See Supplemental
271
+ Declaration of
272
+ doc. #35, at 1; U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 234-37.
273
+ The U.S. Attorney's Office did not notify any of the victims of the existence of these
274
+ modifications of the agreement through at least June 2008 - a period of more than six months.
275
+ On about August 14, 2008, Epstein's defense counsel told the U.S. Attorney's Office that they
276
+ did not consider the December 19, 2007, letter to be operative. Id.
277
+ 21.
278
+ In October 2007, shortly after the initial plea agreement was signed, Jane Doe #1 was
279
+ contacted to be advised regarding the resolution of the investigation. On October 26, 2007,
280
+ Special Agents
281
+ Jand
282
+ met in person with Jane Doe #1. The
283
+ Special Agents explained that Epstein would plead guilty to state charges, he would be required
284
+ 10
285
+ EFTA00206844
286
+
287
+ to register as a sex offender for life, and he had made certain concessions related to the payment
288
+ of damages to the victims, including Jane Doe #1. During this meeting, the Special Agents did
289
+ not explain that an agreement had already been signed that precluded any prosecution of Epstein
290
+ for federal charges. The agents could not have revealed this part of the non-prosecution
291
+ agreement without violating the terms of the non-prosecution agreement. Whether the agents
292
+ themselves had been informed of the existence of the non-prosecution agreement by the U.S.
293
+ Attorney's Office is not certain. Because the plea agreement had already been reached with
294
+ Epstein, the agents made no attempt to secure Jane Doe #1's view on the proposed resolution of
295
+ the case. Edwards Declaration at & 7.
296
+ 22.
297
+ Jane Doe #1's perception of the explanation provided by the Special Agents was that only
298
+ the State part of the Epstein investigation had been resolved, and that the federal investigation
299
+ would continue, possibly leading to a federal prosecution. Edwards Declaration at & 8.
300
+ 23.
301
+ On about November 27, 2007, Assistant U.S. Attorney
302
+ sent an e-mail to Jay
303
+ Lefkowitz, defense counsel for Epstein. The e-mail stated that the U.S. Attorney's Office had an
304
+ obligation to notify the victims about the plea agreement:
305
+ The United States has a statutory obligation (Justice for All Act of 2004) to notify
306
+ the victims of the anticipated upcoming events and their rights associated with the
307
+ agreement entered into by the United States and Mr. Epstein in a timely fashion.
308
+ Tomorrow will make one full week since you were formally notified of the
309
+ selection. I must insist that the vetting process come to an end. Therefore, unless
310
+ you provide me with a good faith objection to Judge Davis's selection [as special
311
+ master for selecting legal counsel for victim pursuing claims against Epstein] by
312
+ COB tomorrow, November 28, 2007, I will authorize the notification of the
313
+ victims. Should you give me the go-head on Podhurst and Josephsberg selectior
314
+ by COB tomorrow, I will simultaneously send you a draft of the letter. I intend to
315
+ notify the victims by letter after COB Thursday, November 29th.

+
320
+ 24. On about November 29, 2007, Assistant U.S. Attorney
321
+ sent a draft of a
322
+ crime victim notification letter to Jay Lefkowitz, defense counsel for Jeffrey Epstein. The
323
+ notification letter explained: "I am writing to inform you that the federal investigation of Jeffrey
324
+ Epstein has been completed, and Mr. Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office have reached an
325
+ agreement containing the following terms ...." The letter then went on to explain that Epstein
326
+ would plead guilty to two state offenses and receive an 18 month sentence. The letter did not
327
+ explain that, as part of the agreement with Epstein, the Justice Department had previously agreed
328
+ not to prosecute Epstein for any of the numerous federal offenses that had been committed. U.S.
329
+ Attorney's Correspondence at 256-59.
330
+ 25. Apparently because of concerns from Epstein's attorneys, the U.S. Attorney's Office never
331
+ sent the proposed victim notification letter discussed in the previous paragraph to the victims.
332
+ Instead, a misleading letter stating that the case was "currently under investigation" (described
333
+ below) was sent in January 2008 and May 2008. At no time before reaching non-prosecution
334
+ agreement did the Justice Department contact any victims, including for example Jane Doe #1,
335
+ about their views on the non-prosecution.
336
+ 26. On about December 6, 2007,
337
+ First Assistant U.S. Attorney sent a letter to
338
+ Jay Lefkowitz, noting the U.S. Attorney's Office's legal obligations to keep victims informed of
339
+ the status of plea negotiations with Epstein. The letter stated:
340
+ Finally, let me address your objections to the draft Victim Notification Letter.
341
+ You write that you don't understand the basis for the Office's belief that it is
342
+ appropriate to notify the victims. Pursuant to the "Justice for All Act of 2004,"
343
+ [another name from the CVRA] crime victims are entitled to: "The right to
344
+ instringe, acrime and the mily not to be excluded from any such eding court

+ EFTA00206846

+
348
+ proceeding ....
349
+ • 18 U.S.C. § 3771(a)(2) & (3). Section 3771 also commands
350
+ that 'employees of the Department of Justice ... engaged in the detection,

+ investigation, or prosecution of crime shall make their best efforts to see that
352
+ crime victims are notified of, and accorded, the rights described in subection (a).'
353
+ 18 U.S.C. § 3771(c)(1)....
354
+ Our Non-Prosecution Agreement resolves the federal investigation by allowing
355
+ Vr. Epstein to plead to a state offense. The victims identified through the federa
356
+ nvestigation should be appropriately informed, and our Non-Prosecution
357
+ Agreement does not require the U.S. Attorney's Office to forego its legal
358
+ obligation.
359
+ U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 191-92 (emphasis added).
360
+ 27. Despite this recognition of its obligation to keep victims "appropriately informed" about the
361
+ non-prosecution agreement, the U.S. Attorney's Office did not follow through and inform the
362
+ victims of the non-prosecution agreement. To the contrary, as discussed below, it continued to
363
+ tell the victims that the case was "under investigation." Edwards Declaration at & 4 and & 12.
364
+ 28.
365
+ On December 13, 2007,
366
+ sent a letter to Jay Lefkowitz, defense
367
+ counsel for Epstein, rebutting charges that had apparently been made against her by the Epstein
368
+ defense. The letter stated that a federal indictment against Epstein "was postponed for more than
369
+ five months to allow you and Mr. Epstein's other attorneys to make presentations to the Office to
370
+ convince the Office not to prosecute." The letter also recounted that "You and I spent hours
371
+ negotiating the terms [of the non-prosecution agreement], including when to use 'a' versus 'the'
372
+ and other minutiae. When you and I could not reach agreement, you repeatedly went over my
373
+ head, involving Messrs.
374
+ , and Acosta in the negotiations at various
375
+ times." U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 269.
376
+ 29. The December 13, 2007, letter also reveals that the Justice Department stopped making
377
+ victim notifications because of objections from Epstein's criminal defense counsel: "Three
378
+ 13
379
+ EFTA00206847
380
+
381
+ victims were notified shortly after the signing of the Non-Prosecution Agreement of the general
382
+ terms of the Agreement.
383
+ You raised objections to any victim notification, and no further
384
+ notifications were done." U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 270 (emphasis added).
385
+ 30.
386
+ Following the signing of the Agreement and the modifications thereto, Epstein's
387
+ performance was delayed while he sought higher level review within the Department of Justice.
388
+ See U.S. Attorney's Correspondence passim.
389
+ 31.
390
+ On January 10, 2008, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 received letters from the FBI
391
+ advising them that "It]his case is currently under investigation. This can be a lengthy process
392
+ and we request you continued patience while we conduct a thorough investigation." See Doc.
393
+ #14 (attachments 3 and 4 to declaration of l
394
+ (emphasis added). The statement
395
+ in the notification letter was false. The case was not currently "under investigation." To the
396
+ contrary, the case had been resolved by the non-prosecution agreement entered into by Epstein
397
+ and the U.S. Attorney's Office discussed previously. Moreover, the FBI did not notify Jane Doe
398
+ #1 or Jane Doe #2 that a plea agreement had been reached previously, and that part of the
399
+ agreement was a non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern
400
+ District of Florida. Edwards Declaration at & 9.
401
+ 32.
402
+ In early 2008, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 came to believe that criminal prosecution
403
+ of Epstein was extremely important. They also desired to be consulted by the FBI and/or other
404
+ representatives of the federal government about the prosecution of Epstein. In light of the letters
405
+ that they had received around January 10, they believed that a criminal investigation of Epstein
406
+ was on-going and that they would be contacted before the federal government reached any final
407
+ resolution of that investigation. Edwards Declaration at &10.

410
+
411
+ 33.
412
+ On about February 25, 2008, Assistant U.S. Attorney
413
+ sent an e-mail to Jay
414
+ Lefkowitz, Epstein's criminal defense counsel, explaining that the Justice Department's Child
415
+ Exploitation Obscenity Section (CEOS) had agreed to review Epstein's objections to the
416
+ proposed plea agreement that had been reached with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern
417
+ District of Florida. The letter indicated that, should CEOS reject Epstein's objections to the
418
+ agreement, then "Mr. Epstein shall have one week to abide by the terms and conditions of the
419
+ September 24, 2007 Agreement as amended by letter from United States Attorney Acosta to Jay
420
+ Lefkowitz." U.S. Attorneys Correspondence at 290-91.
421
+ 34. In about April 2008, Jane Doe #1 contacted the FBI because Epstein's counsel was
422
+ attempting to take her deposition and private investigators were harassing her. Assistant U.S.
423
+ Attorney
424
+ secured pro bono counsel to represent Jane Doe #1. Pro bono
425
+ counsel was able to assist Jane Doe #1 in avoiding the improper deposition. AUSA
426
+ secured pro bono counsel by contacting Meg Garvin, Esq. of the the National Crime Victims'
427
+ Law Center in Portland, Oregon, which is based in the Lewis & Clark College of Law. During
428
+ the call, Ms. Garvin was not advised that a non-prosecution agreement had been reached.
429
+ 35.
430
+ On May 30, 2008, another of Mr. Edwards's clients who was recognized as an Epstein
431
+ victim by the U.S. Attorney's Office, received a letter from the FBI advising her that "[t]his case
432
+ is currently under investigation. This can be a lengthy process and we request your continued
433
+ patience while we conduct a thorough investigation." The statement in the notification letter was
434
+ false.
435
+ The case was not currently "under investigation." To the contrary, the case had been
436
+ resolved by the non-prosecution agreement entered into by Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's
437
+ Office discussed previously. Edwards Declaration at & 12.

441
+ 36.
442
+ In mid-June 2008, Mr. Edwards contacted AUSA
443
+ to inform her that he
444
+ represented Jane Doe #1 and, later, Jane Doe #2. Mr. Edwards asked to meet to provide
445
+ information about the federal crimes committed by Epstein, hoping to secure a significant federal
446
+ indictment against Epstein. AUSA
447
+ and Mr. Edwards discussed the possibility of
448
+ federal charges being filed. At the end of the call, AUSA
449
+ asked Mr. Edwards to send
450
+ any information that he wanted considered by the U.S. Attorney's Office in determining whether
451
+ to file federal charges.
452
+ Because of the confidentiality provision that existed in the plea
453
+ agreement, Mr. Edwards was not informed that previously, in September 2007, the U.S.
454
+ Attorney's Office had reached an agreement not to file federal charges. Mr. Edwards was also
455
+ not informed that resolution of the criminal matter was imminent. Edwards Declaration at & 13.
456
+ 37.
457
+ On Friday, June 27, 2008, at approximately 4:15 p.m., AUSA
458
+ received a copy
459
+ of Epstein's proposed state plea agreement and learned that the plea was scheduled for 8:30 a.m.,
460
+ Monday, June 30, 2008. AUSA
461
+ and the Palm Beach Police Department attempted to
462
+ provide notification to victims in the short time that Epstein's counsel had provided. Attorney
463
+ Edwards was called to provide notice to his clients regarding the hearing. AUSAI
464
+ did
465
+ not tell Attorney Edwards that the guilty pleas in state court would bring an end to the possibility
466
+ of federal prosecution pursuant to the plea agreement. Edwards Declaration at & 14.
467
+ 38.
468
+ On June 30, 2008, AUSA
469
+ sent an e-mail to Jack Goldberger, criminal defense
470
+ counsel for Epstein, that stated: "Jack: The FBI has received several calls regarding the Non-
471
+ Prosecution Agreement. I do not know whether the title of the document was disclosed when the
472
+ Agreement was filed under seal, but the FBI and our office are declining comment if asked."

478
+ On July 3, 2008, Mr. Edwards sent to AUSA
479
+ a letter. See Affidavit of Bradley
480
+ J. Edwards, Esq., at 15 (attachment 2). In the letter, Mr. Edwards indicated his client's desire
481
+ that federal charges be filed against defendant Epstein. In particular, he wrote on behalf of his
482
+ clients: "We urge the Attorney General and our United States Attorney to consider the
483
+ fundamental import of the vigorous enforcement of our Federal laws. We urge you to move
484
+ forward with the traditional indictments and criminal prosecution commensurate with the crimes
485
+ Mr. Epstein has committed, and we further urge you to take the steps necessary to protect our
486
+ children from this very dangerous sexual predator." When Mr. Edwards wrote this letter, he was
487
+ still unaware that a non-prosecution agreement had been reached with Epstein - a fact that
488
+ continued to be concealed from him (and the victims) by the U.S. Attorney's Office. Mr.
489
+ Edwards first saw a reference to the NPA on or after July 9, 2008, when the Government filed its
490
+ responsive pleading
491
+ ; to Jane Doe's emergency petition. That pleading was the first public
492
+ mention of the non-prosecution agreement and the first disclosure to Mr. Edwards (and thus to
493
+ Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2) of the possible existence of a non-prosecution agreement.
494
+ Edwards Declaration at & 15.
495
+ 40.
496
+ On July 9, 2008, AUSA
497
+ sent a victim notification to Jane Doe #1 via her
498
+ attorney, Bradley Edwards. Edwards Declaration, Exhibit "H." That notification contains a
499
+ written explanation of some of the terms of the agreement between Epstein and the U.S.
500
+ Attorney's Office. A full copy of the terms was not provided. A notification was not provided
501
+ to Jane Doe #2 because the agreement limited Epstein's liability to victims whom the United
502
+ States was prepared to name in an indictment. As a result, Jane Doe #2 never received a
503
+ 17
504
+ EFTA00206851
505
+
506
+ notification a letter about the agreement. The notification did not mention the non-prosecution
507
+ agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office. Edwards Declaration at & 16.
508
+ 41. On July 9, 2008, AUSA
509
+ filed a sworn declaration with the Court in connection
510
+ with the case (doc. #14). The declaration purported to recount limit parts of the non-prosecution
511
+ agreement and stated that "these provisions were discussed" with several victims, including Jane
512
+ Doe #1. Id. at 4.
513
+ 42.
514
+ On July 11, 2008, the Court held a hearing on Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2's Emergency
515
+ Petition for Enforcement of Rights. During the hearing, the Government conceded that Jane Doe
516
+ #1 and Jane Doe #2 were "vietims" within the meaning of the Crime Victim's Rights Act. Tr. at
517
+ 14-15.
518
+ 43. During the July 11 hearing, the Court and the parties discussed the fact that the petition
519
+ should not be treated as an "emergency" petition because there was not any particular rush to
520
+ ruling on it. Tr. at 24-25. The Court further discussed a need to "hav[e] a complete record, and
521
+ this is going to be an issue that's ... going to go to the Eleventh Circuit, [s] it] may be better to
522
+ have a complete record as to what your position is and the government's is as to what actions
523
+ were taken. And I don't know if I have enough information, based on
524
+ s affidavit
525
+ or I need additional information. And because it is not an emergency, I don't have to do
526
+ something quickly, we can play it b[y] ear and make this into a more complete record for the
527
+ court of appeals."
528
+ Tr. at 25-26.
529
+ Counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 explained: " ...
530
+ Your Honor is correct in stating that it is not an emergency and it doesn't need to happen today.
531
+ And, I will confer with the government on this and if evidence needs to be taken, it [can] be
532
+ taken at a later date. It doesn't seem like there will be any prejudice to any party [from delay]."
533
+ 18
534
+ EFTA00206852
535
+
536
+ Tr. at 26. The hearing concluded: "So I'll let both of you confer about whether there is a need
537
+ for any additional evidence to be presented. Let me know one way or the other. If there is, we'll
538
+ schedule a hearing. If there isn't and you want to submit some additional stipulated information,
539
+ do that, and then I'll take care of this in due course." Tr. at 32. The Court then adjourned, taking
540
+ the victims" petition under advisement.
541
+ 44. The U.S. Attorney's Office and the victims then attempted to reach a stipulated set of facts
542
+ underlying the case. The U.S. Attorney's Office set a proposed set of facts, and the victims sent
543
+ a counter-proposal. Rather than respond to the victims" counter-proposal, however, the U.S.
544
+ Attorney's Office suddenly reversed course. (Doc. #19 at 2). On July 29, 2008, it filed a Notice
545
+ to Court Regarding Absence of Need for Evidentiary Hearing (doc. #17). The Government took
546
+ the position that, because no federal criminal charges had been filed in the Southern District of
547
+ Florida, no additional evidence was required to decide the petition before the Court.
548
+ 45. On August 1, 2008, Jane Doe #land Jane Doe #2 filed (doc. #19) a response to the
549
+ Government's "Notice." In the response, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 gave a proposed
550
+ statement of facts surrounding the case. The proposed statement of fact was based on the
551
+ information available to the victims at that time. The proposed statement of facts highlighted the
552
+ fact that the Government had signed a non-prosecution agreement containing an express
553
+ confidentiality provision, which prevented the Government from disclosing the agreement to
554
+ them and other victims. Id. at 5. The response also noted that the Court had taken the victims'
555
+ petition under advisement. The response further noted that the Government had not attempted to
556
+ work with the victims to draft a full set of undisputed facts and had refused the victims' efforts to
557
+ obtain documents relevant to the case. Id. at 9. The victims response also requested that the
558
+ 19
559
+ EFTA00206853
560
+
561
+ Court direct the Government to confer with the victims regarding the undisputed facts of the
562
+ case, produce the non-prosecution agreement at issue in the case, and produce an FBI Report of
563
+ Interview with Jane Doe #1. The response also requested that the Court enter judgment for the
564
+ victims' finding a violation of rights and schedule a hearing on the appropriate remedy. Id. at 14.
565
+ 46. On August 14, 2008, the Court held a hearing on the case. During that hearing, the U.S.
566
+ Attorney's Office conceded "we do feel bound by the confidentiality provision such that we
567
+ could not voluntarily disclose this non-prosecution agreement without court order compelling us
568
+ to do so." Tr. at 8. The Office went on to further concede that it could not justify depriving the
569
+ victims of the opportunity to see the agreement. Id. at 14. The hearing concluded without any
570
+ schedule or deadlines being put in place.
571
+ 47. On October 9, 2008, Bradley J. Edwards, counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2, sent a
572
+ letter to counsel for the U.S. Attorney's Office in this case advising that two possibly false
573
+ statements had been made to the Court in the July 9t sworn declaration of AUSAL
574
+ See
575
+ Oct. 9, 2008, Letter from Bradley J. Edwards to Marie Villafaña at 1, Edwards Declaration,
576
+ Attachment "I." First, while Ms.
577
+ had described a term as being part of the plea
578
+ agreement with Epstein, that term later became defunct, at least in the view of Epstein's
579
+ attorneys (and apparently acceded to by the U.S. Attorney's Office). Second, Ms.
580
+ had
581
+ said that "four victims [including Jane Doe #1] were contacted and these provisions were
582
+ discussed," it was not clear what provisions had in fact been discussed.
583
+ filed a supplemental affidavit, "correcting"
584
+ 48. On December 22, 2008, AUSA Marie l
585
+ the statement made in her July 8, 2008, declaration about the terms of the plea agreement (doc.
586
+ #35).
587
+ The supplemental affidavit stated that "part 3" of the agreement with defendant Epstein
588
+ 20
589
+ EFTA00206854
590
+
591
+ was, in the view Epstein' legal counsel, no longer operative. The supplemental affidavit,
592
+ however, did not clarify what terms of the agreement had been discussed.
593
+ 49. On April 9, 2009, counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 sent to the Court in this case
594
+ (via the PACER system) a notice of a change of law firm affiliation. Doc. #37.
595
+ 50. In approximately May 2009, counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 propounded
596
+ discovery requests in both state and federal civil cases against Epstein, seeking to obtain
597
+ correspondence between Epstein and prosecutors regarding his plea agreement - information that
598
+ the U.S. Attorney's Office was unwilling to provide to Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2. Epstein
599
+ refused to produce that information, and extended litigation to obtain the materials followed.
600
+ Edwards Declaration at & 20.
601
+ 51. Because of this extended litigation, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 did not have access to
602
+ important correspondence demonstrating a violation of their rights until June 30, 2010. On that
603
+ day, counsel for Epstein sent to Bradley J. Edwards, Esq., legal counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane
604
+ Doe #2, approximately 358 pages of e-mail correspondence between his legal counsel and the
605
+ U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida regarding the plea agreement that had
606
+ been negotiated between them.
607
+ See Edwards Declaration, Attachment "J." These e-mails
608
+ disclosed for the first time the extreme and unusual steps that had been taken by the U.S.
609
+ Attorney's Office to avoid prosecuting Epstein and to avoid having the victims in the case learn
610
+ about the non-prosecution agreement that had been reached between Epstein and the
611
+ Government.
612
+ Litigation continues to this day to obtain the correspondence regarding the state
613
+ prosecution and regarding what Epstein's attorneys said in the correspondence with the
614
+ prosecutors. Edwards Declaration at & 22

618
+ 52. In mid-July 2010, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 settled their civil lawsuits against Mr.
619
+ Epstein. Notice of this fact was promptly provided to the Court. Edwards Declaration at xxx.
620
+ 53. On September 8, 2010, the Court entered an order stating that "[a]n examination of the
621
+ docket reveals that no activity has taken place in this case since April of 2009. In light of the
622
+ underlying settlements between the victims and Mr. Epstein, it is hereby ordered and adjudged
623
+ that this case is closed." Doc. #38.
624
+ 54. Promptly on the heels of this administrative order, on September 13, 2010, Jane Doe #1 and
625
+ Jane Doe #2 filed a notice that they "intend to make subsequent filing in the case shortly. They
626
+ accordingly request administrative reopening of the case and, if the Court deems it advisable, a
627
+ scheduling conference with the U.S. Attorney's Office regarding the case." Doc. #39 at 1. They
628
+ further advised the Court that their settlements with Jeffrey Epstein in no way affected "their
629
+ determination to move forward with the above-captioned CVRA action against a different entity
630
+ - the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida." Id. at 2. The pleading further
631
+ advised that "Tilf the Court wishes to proceed to an expeditious conclusion to this Case, Jane Doe
632
+ #1 and Jane Doe #2 have no objection to the Court setting up an expedited schedule for
633
+ proceeding on the case." Id. The pleading further advised that the reason the victims had not
634
+ filed for summary judgment in the case was that they had been attempting to secure
635
+ correspondence between the U.S. Attorney's Office and Epstein to corroborate their argument
636
+ that the Office had violated their rights. They noted that they had just secured half of that
637
+ correspondence two months earlier.
638
+ Id. at 2. The victim asked that, "if the Court deems it
639
+ advisable, that a scheduling conference be set for this case."
640
+ 22
641
+ EFTA00206856
642
+
643
+ 55. At all times material to this statement of facts, it would have been practical and feasible for
644
+ federal government to inform Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 of the details of the proposed non-
645
+ prosecution agreement with Epstein, including in particular the fact that the agreement barred
646
+ any federal criminal prosecution. Edwards Declaration at & 26.
647
+ LEGAL MEMORANDUM
648
+ The victims have previously briefed the issues of why they are entitled to entry of an
649
+ order by this Court finding that the U.S. Attorney's Office violated their rights under the CVRA.
650
+ See Doc. #1; Doc #9 at 3-11; Doc. #19 at 3-9, 14. The victims specifically incorporate those
651
+ pleadings by reference here. In short, as explained in the victims' earlier pleadings, the Office
652
+ violated the victims' right to confer before reaching the non-prosecution agreement and also
653
+ failed to use its best efforts to comply with the CVRA.
654
+ In light of the new evidence that the victims have uncovered, it now palpably obvious
655
+ that not only has the U.S. Attorney's Office violated their rights, but that the violations were part
656
+ of an orchestrated, deliberate attempt to keep the victims in the dark about the non-prosecution
657
+ agreement so that they could not raise any timely objection to it. The facts recounted
658
+ demonstrate the following chain of events. The U.S. Attorney's Office first reached a non-
659
+ prosecution agreement with Epstein, in which it agreed not to prosecute him for numerous
660
+ crimes (including, for example, sex offenses committed by Epstein against Jane Doe #1). As
661
+ part of that agreement, the U.S. Attorney's Office agreed to a "confidentiality" provision that
662
+ forbade publicly disclosing the existence of the agreement. As a result, the U.S. Attorney's
663
+ Office and FBI agents acting under its direction kept the existence of the non-prosecution
664
+ agreement secret from the victims and the public. The reasonable inference from the evidence is
665
+ 23
666
+ EFTA00206857
667
+
668
+ that the U.S. Attorney's Office wanted to keep the agreement a secret to avoid intense criticism
669
+ that would have surely ensued had the victims and the public learned that a billionaire sex
670
+ offender with political connections had arranged to avoid federal prosecution for numerous
671
+ felony sex offenses against minor girls.
672
+ As part of this pattern of deception, the U.S. Attorney's Office discussed victim
673
+ notification with the defendant sex offender and, after he raised objections, stopped making
674
+ notification. Then later in January 2008, the U.S. Attorney's Office arranged for letters to be
675
+ sent to the victims - including Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 - that falsely stated that to each that
676
+ your "case is currently under investigation." This was untrue, as the U.S. Attorney's Office had
677
+ already resolved the federal case by signing a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein. Indeed,
678
+ the pattern of deception continued even after Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 were represented by
679
+ legal counsel. In May 2008, the Office sent a similar letter stating "your case is currently
680
+ investigation" to another victim (represented by Bradley J. Edwards). As late as the middle of
681
+ June 2008 - more than eight months after the non-prosecution agreement had been signed -- the
682
+ Assistant U.S. Attorney handling the case told the attorney representing Jane Doe #1 and Jane
683
+ Doe #2 (Edwards) to send information that he wanted the Office to consider in determining
684
+ whether to file federal charges. The Office concealed from him the fact that the determination
685
+ had already been made and a non-prosecution agreement had been signed long ago. The Office
686
+ also concealed from him the fact that guilty pleas in state court were imminent. The Office
687
+ provided notice about the fact of the non-prosecution agreement only after Epstein had entered
688
+ his guilty pleas in state court - in other words, only after the time for the victims to be able to
689
+ 24
690
+ EFTA00206858
691
+
692
+ object to the non-prosecution agreement during the plea process had come and gone. Even at
693
+ that time, the Office did not disclose the provisions in the agreement.
694
+ This behavior does not satisfy the Office's obligations under the CVRA to use its "best
695
+ efforts" to insure that vietims receive protection of their rights. 18 U.S.C. § 3771(c)(1). In
696
+ particular, it makes clear that the victims were not afforded their right "to confer with the
697
+ attorney for the Government in the case." 18 U.S.C. § 3771(a)(5). Whatever else may be said
698
+ about the deception, it also starkly violates the victims' right "to be treated with fairness and with
699
+ respect for the victim's dignity ...." 18 U.S.C. § 3771(a)(8). The pattern also denied the
700
+ victims of timely notice of court proceedings, 18 U.S.C. § 3771(a)(3), including in particular the
701
+ state court guilty plea
702
+ The Court should find that these violations of the victims* rights were not accidental but
703
+ deliberate. The U.S. Attorney's Office was well aware its resolution of the federal cases
704
+ triggered an obligation under the CVRA to notify the victims of what was happening to their
705
+ cases. Indeed, the First Assistant in the Office wrote to Epstein's defense counsel that pursuant
706
+ to the CVRA
707
+ crime victims are entitled to: "The right to reasonable, accurate, and timely notice
708
+ etay ubim any proceeding cout poing the crime a sc Bignate
709
+ (3). Section 3771 also commands that "employees of the Department of Justice..
710
+ . engaged in the detection, investigation, or prosecution of crime shall make their
711
+ best efforts to see that crime victims are notified of, and accorded, the rights
712
+ described in subsection (a)." 18 U.S.C. § 3771(c)(I).... Our Non-Prosecution
713
+ Agreement resolves the federal investigation by allowing Mr. Epstein to plead to
714
+ a state offense. The victims identified through the federal investigation should be
715
+ appropriately informed, and our Non-Prosecution Agreement does not require the
716
+ U.S. Attorney's Office to forego its legal obligation.
717
+ 25
718
+ EFTA00206859
719
+
720
+ U.S. Attorney's Correspondence at 191-92. Despite recognizing in private correspondence with
721
+ defense counsel that victims of Epstein's sexual assault should be "appropriately informed"
722
+ about the Non-Prosecution agreement in a "timely" fashion, the U.S. Attorney's Office
723
+ ultimately did nothing to inform them of the agreement until after the agreement had been
724
+ consummated in court.
725
+ In short, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 - and the many other victims of the defendant's
726
+ federal sex offenses - were deliberately kept in the dark about the fact that the U.S. Attorney's
727
+ Office was planning to reach a deal that would permit the defendant to escape all federal
728
+ punishment. This bald decision to conceal from the vietims what was happening violated the
729
+ core premise of the Crime Victim's Rights Act: that victims deserve to know what is happening
730
+ in their cases. Congress was concerned that in the federal system crime victims were "treated as
731
+ non-participants in a critical event in their lives. They were kept in the dark by prosecutors too
732
+ busy to care enough ... and by a court system that simply did not have a place for them." 150
733
+ CONG. REC. S4262 (Apr. 22, 2004) (statement of Sen. Feinstein). To remedy this problem,
734
+ Congress gave victims "the simple right to know what is going on, to participate in the process
735
+ where the information that victims and their families can provide may be material and relevant ...
736
+ " Id. If ever a case cried out for a court finding that prosecutors have violated the rights of
737
+ crime victims, it is this one. The victims respectfully ask for a finding that the U.S. Attorney's
738
+ Office has violated their rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act.
739
+ CERTIFICATE OF CONFERENCE
740
+ Counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 are engaged in on-going discussions with
741
+ counsel for the U.S. Attorney's Office to resolve the matters raised in this pleading. The U.S.
742
+ 26
743
+ EFTA00206860
744
+
745
+ Attorney's Office has agreed to stipulate to all facts presented by Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2
746
+ that are correct. At this time, however, the parties have not been able to reach any further
747
+ agreements.
748
+ CONCLUSION
749
+ For all these reasons, the Court should find the U.S. Attorney's Office violated Jane Doe
750
+ #1 and Jane Doe #2's rights under the Crime Victims Rights Act and then schedule an
751
+ appropriate hearing on the remedy for these violations. The scope of the remedy that is
752
+ appropriate may depend in part of the scope of the violations that the Court finds. For this
753
+ reason, it makes sense to bifurcate the process and determine, first, the extent of the violations
754
+ and then, second, the remedy appropriate for those violations. If the Court would prefer to see
755
+ more immediate briefing on remedy issues, the victims stand prepared to provide that briefing at
756
+ the Court's direction.

7
+ Ms.
8
+ Re: Grand Jury Investigation Confidential
9
+ Dear Ms.
10
+ This letter is an invitation for you to testify before a federal Grand Jury, and is supplied in order to
11
+ rovide helpful background information about the Grand Jury.
12
+ federal crimes which may have been committed in this District.
13
+ As a Grand Jury witness you will be asked to testify and answer questions under oath, and to
14
+ produce records and documents. Only the members of the Grand Jury, attorneys for the United States
15
+ and a stenographer are permitted in the Grand Jury room while you testify.
16
+ The U.S. Department of Justice encourages prosecutors to notify an individual in appropriate
17
+ cases that he or she is a target of a grand jury investigation. Accordingly, you are hereby notified that you
18
+ are a target of a federal grand jury investigation in the Southern District of Florida concerning suspected
19
+ violations of federal law, including but not limited to, possible violations of Title 18, United States Code,
20
+ Sections 2, 371, 1512, 1591, 1952, 1956, 1960, 2421, 2422, and 2423.
21
+ You are advised that the destruction or alteration of any document required to be produced before
22
+ the grand jury constitutes serious violation of federal law, including but not limited to Obstruction of
23
+ Justice.
24
+ A "target" is a person as to whom the prosecutors or the Grand Jury have substantial evidence
25
+ linking him or her to the commission of a crime and who, in the judgment of the prosecutors, is a putative
26
+ defendant.
27
+ This letter constitutes an invitation to you to testify on your own behalf before the grand jury
28
+ about matters under investigation. Of course, you are not required to appear before the grand jury. The
29
+ decision whether to do so is a voluntary matter which is entirely up to you. The grand jury, if in fact it
30
+ learns of this opportunity afforded to you, will be instructed not to draw any adverse inference from your
31
+ failure to appear should you decide not to accept this invitation. You must further understand that should
32
+ you decide to testify, your testimony could be used against you if any criminal charges should be filed
33
+ against you.
34
+ Should you decide to appear before the grand jury, you will have the same rights and obligations
35
+ as any non-immunized grand jury witness. Specifically,
36
+ You may refuse to answer any question if a truthful answer to the question would tend to
37
+ incriminate you.
38
+ You have the right to stop answering questions at any time.
39
+ Anything you say may be used against you at the grand jury or in a subsequent legal
40
+ proceeding.
41
+ The grand jury will permit you a reasonable opportunity to step outside the grand jury
42
+ room to consult with your attorney, if you so desire, at any point during the testimony you
43
+ give.
44
+ Please be further advised that the giving of false testimony before the grand jury will subject you
45
+ to a prosecution for perjury in addition to the violations set forth above.
46
+ As a target of a grand jury investigation who has been asked to appear before the grand
47
+ jury, you may wish to retain the services of an attorney. If you cannot afford the services of
48
+ independent counsel, the Court may be able to appoint counsel to represent you. If you would like
49
+ the United States to ask the Court to appoint an attorney to represent you, please contact the
50
+ EFTA00204831
51
+
52
+ undersigned at 1
53
+ The United States is investigating other individuals, and you may be
54
+ nterested in cooperating with the United States against those other targets. If you hire an attorney
55
+ r if the Court appoints one to represent you, that counsel can contact me to discuss that possibiliti
56
+ Please advise me whether you wish to testify before the grand jury by close of business Friday,
57
+ August 10, 2007. IfI do not receive notification from you or your counsel by this date, I will assume that
58
+ you do not wish to testify before the grand jury.

3
+ Date: Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:31:11 +0000
4
+ Importance: Normal
5
+ As mentioned last week, Brad and I wanted to chat with you about where we are on discovery in this case. I spoke with
6
+ Brad, and while our recollection of what you promised you were going to do may be slightly different than ours, we
7
+ believe there was at least a general agreement to the spirit of the voluntary production - that is, you were going to
8
+ cooperate to the extent that you are able.
9
+ As we explained on our phone call, we requested the things that we would like produced. While you may believe those
10
+ requests to be overly broad and may assert that legal objection in your responses, you indicated that you would be willing
11
+ to produce certain documents that may not be all the documents in your possession responsive to the request but that
12
+ would amount to some documents or materials that we do not yet have. Without making us go through the unnecessary
13
+ exercise of narrowing our requests, it would be most helpful if you would just shoot us over whatever documents or
14
+ materials that you are willing to share with us voluntarily. We will agree that whatever production you make does not
15
+ constitute a waiver of any legal objection you may have to any discovery request.
16
+ So, are you willing to produce anything to us is, I guess, the bottom line. Thanks for any voluntary help you can extend.

51
+ Hi, Paul.
52
+ As always, we appreciate your efforts to be accommodating. With respect to the conditions that you have placed on your
53
+ agreement to the requested extension:
54
+ (1) No 90-day notice is called for by Local Rule 7.1(b)(4) for the motions/responses/replies connected to the
55
+ requested extension because none is a "motion or other matter which has been pending and fully briefed" and
56
+ none is a "motion or other matter as to which the Court has conducted a hearing." In any event, after the recent
57
+ amendments to the Local Rules, the 90-day notices are only "serve[d] on all parties and any affected non-
58
+ parties." Court filing of the 90-day notices is no longer contemplated by the Local Rules.
59
+ (2) As to our discussion in early December, we have a different recollection. At that time, notwithstanding our
60
+ motion to stay discovery, we expressed a willingness to work with you and Brad to attempt to identify items that
61
+ EFTA00205140
62
+
63
+ might be producible by the government pursuant to a narrowed and specific request for production that seeks
64
+ relevant items and where the production by the government would not be burdensome or otherwise
65
+ objectionable. We remain willing to work toward such a goal, but have been waiting to hear from you or Brad to
66
+ begin the process of identifying the items that would be the subject of such a narrowed request. In fact,
67
+ called Brad several weeks ago to discuss the requests for admissions, but they were unable to connect at that
68
+ time.
69
+ If the government's position on these two points causes you to withhold your agreement to our requested extension, we
70
+ would be happy to inform the Court that you oppose our motion for extension of time. If we do not hear from you by
71
+ 7:00 pm Miami time that you agree to the requested extension notwithstanding the government's position on these two
72
+ points, we will report to the Court that you object to the extension. Please be sure to send any reply concerning your
73
+ position to Dexter, as he will be filing the motion for extension this evening.
74
+ Thanks, and have a nice weekend.

78
+ As you know, we're happy to try and be accommodating. We would be glad to consent to additional time, but
79
+ would ask in exchange for two things:
80
+ 1. The various delays mean that several motions have now been (or will shortly be) pending for more than 90
81
+ days, triggering a 90 day report obligation under the local rules. We would trust you would be willing to file
82
+ 2. When we finished our telephone call with you some weeks back, Brad and I understood that we would be
83

84
+ your motion to dismiss is denied. But we have yet to receive anything at all regarding discovery. We would
85

86

10
+ in an attempt to demonstrate how petitioners are overreaching into irrelevant areas. I don't believe the stay motion
11
+ needs to be filed under seal, unless expressing the view that a case still exists, in which petitioners can consult with the
12
+ attorney for the government, is not a matter to be disclosed in a public filing.
13
+ I reviewed your motion to dismiss and it is excellent. I have no suggestions or revisions.

11

13
+ Because of the Government's Failure to Contest Any of the Facts (DE 49), Plaintiffs' Motion for

15
+ Motion to Intervene or in the Alternative for a Sua Sponte Rule 11 Order
16
+ (DE 79).' All motions are fully briefed and ripe for review, and the Court has heard oral
17
+ arguments on all motions.
18
+ The Court has carefully considered the briefing and the parties?
19
+ arguments and is otherwise fully advised in the premises.
20
+ ' The Court is awaiting supplemental briefing on the Motion to Intervene of Roy Black,
21
+ Martin Weinberg, and Jay Lefkowitz (DE 56) and will rule on that motion after it is fully briefed.
22
+ Also, because the proposed interveners seek intervention to request a protective order against
23
+ disclosure of certain correspondences at issue in Plaintiffs' Motion to Use Correspondence to
24
+ Prove Violations of the Crime Victims' Rights Act and to Have Their Unredacted Pleadings
25

30
+ Background'
31
+ Plaintiffs Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 are alleged victims of federal sex crimes
32
+ committed by Jeffrey Epstein in Palm Beach County. Between 2001 and 2007, Epstein sexually
33
+ abused multiple underage girls at his Palm Beach mansion, including Plaintiffs. In 2006, the
34
+ Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") opened an investigation into allegations that Epstein was
35
+ inducing underage girls to engage in sexual acts. The case was eventually presented to the
36
+ United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida, which accepted it for
37
+ investigation. The Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office was also investigating similar
38
+ allegations against Epstein. Plaintiffs allege that the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office's
39
+ investigation developed a strong case for a federal prosecution against Epstein based on
40
+ "overwhelming" evidence.
41
+ In June 2007, the FBI delivered to Jane Doe #1 a standard victim-notification letter,
42
+ which explained that the case against Epstein was "under investigation" and notified Jane Doe #1
43
+ of her rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act ("CVRA"). In August 2007, Jane Doe #2
44
+ received a similar notification letter.
45
+ In September 2007, Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office began plea discussions. The
46
+ negotiations led to an agreement under which Epstein would plead guilty to two state felony
47
+ offenses for solicitation of prostitution and procurement of minors for prostitution and the U.S.
48
+ = This background discussion is based on the allegations in Plaintiffs' Petition for
49
+ Enforcement of Crime Victims' Rights Act (DE 1) and the Statement of Material Facts in
50
+ Plaintiffs' Motion for Finding of Violation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (DEs 48, 52).
51
+ These allegations are not yet supported by evidence and the Court relies on them here solely to
52
+ provide the context for the threshold legal issues addressed in this order. As discussed below,
53
+ further factual development is necessary to resolve the additional issues raised in Plaintiffs'
54
+ motions.

58
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 99 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/26/2011 Page 3 of 14
59
+ Attorney's Office would agree not to prosecute Epstein for federal offenses. On September 24,
60
+ 2007, Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office executed a Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA")
61
+ under these terms.
62
+ Plaintiffs contend that the U.S. Attorney's Office did not confer with them regarding the
63
+ plea discussions and, in fact, intentionally kept secret the negotiations and the NPA. From
64
+ September 24, 2007, the day on which the NPA was executed, through June 2008, the U.S.
65
+ Attorney's Office did not notify either Plaintiff of the existence of the NPA.
66
+ During this period, Plaintiffs communicated multiple times with the FBI and U.S.
67
+ Attorney's Office, but neither Plaintiff was informed of the NPA. On January 10, 2008, the FBI
68
+ sent letters to Plaintiffs advising them that "It]his case is currently under investigation," but
69
+ failing to disclose the existence of the NPA. On January 32, 2008, Jane Doe #1 met with FBI
70
+ agents and attorneys from the U.S. Attorney's Office to discuss her abuse by Epstein. The
71
+ government did not disclose the existence of the NPA. In mid-June 2008, Plaintiffs' counsel
72
+ contacted the Assistant United States Attorney ("AUSA") handling their case to discuss the
73
+ status of the investigation. The AUSA did not disclose the existence of the NPA. On June 27,
74
+ 2008, the U.S. Attorney's Office notified Plaintiffs' counsel that Epstein was scheduled to plead
75
+ guilty in state court on June 30, 2008. The U.S. Attorney's Office did not disclose the existence
76
+ of the NPA nor the relationship between Epstein's state plea and the U.S. Attorney's Office's
77
+ agreement to forgo federal charges. On July 3, 2008, Plaintiffs' counsel sent a letter to the U.S.
78
+ Attorney's Office stating Jane Doe #1's desire that it bring federal charges against Epstein.

83
+ On July 7, 2008, Jane Doe #1 filed a petition in this Court to enforce her rights under the
84
+ CVRA. Jane Doe #1 alleged that she believed plea discussions were under way between Epstein
85
+ and the U.S. Attorney's Office, and that the government, by failing to notify her of this
86
+ development, had violated her rights under the CVRA. The United States responded to the
87
+ petition on July 9, 2008, arguing that (1) a federal indictment had never been returned against
88
+ Epstein and therefore the CVRA did not attach, and (2) nevertheless, the U.S. Attorney's Office
89
+ had used its best efforts to comply with the CVRA. The government's response also disclosed
90
+ that the U.S. Attorney's Office had entered into the NPA with Epstein.
91
+ On July 11, 2008, this Court held a hearing on Jane Doe #1's petition, at which Jane Doe
92
+ #2 was added as a plaintiff. At the hearing, Plaintiffs explained that their petition did not present
93
+ an emergency and that therefore an immediate resolution was not necessary. On August 14,
94
+ 2008, the Court held a status conference and ordered the United States to turn over the NPA to
95
+ all identified victims, including Plaintiffs, and further ordered the parties to work out the terms of
96
+ a protective order governing the NA's disclosure.
97
+ This action was relatively inactive for the next year and one-half while Plaintiffs litigated
98
+ civil actions against Epstein. After those cases settled, Plaintiffs attempted to resolve their
99
+ CVRA dispute with the U.S. Attorney's Office. On March 18, 2011, after the parties" settlement
100
+ efforts failed, Plaintiffs filed a series of motions, which the Court now addresses in turn, along
101
+ with
102
+ Motion to Intervene.
103

104
+ Enforcement of Crime Victims' Rights Act.

109
+ Motion for Finding of Violations of the Crime Victims' Rights Act
110
+ The CVRA was designed to protect victims' rights and ensure them involvement in the
111
+ criminal-justice process. United States I. Moussaoui, 483 F.3d 220, 234 (4" Cir. 2007); Kenna I
112
+ U.S. Dist. Court, 435 F.3d 1011, 1016 (9" Cir. 2006) ("The [CVRA] was enacted to make crime
113
+ victims full participants in the criminal justice system."). The statute enumerates the following
114
+ eight rights:
115
+ (1) The right to be reasonably protected from the accused
116
+ (2) The right to reasonable, accurate, and timely notice of any public court
117
+ proceeding, or any parole proceeding, involving the crime or of any release or escape
118
+ of the accused.
119
+ (3) The right not to be excluded from any such public court proceeding, unless the
120
+ court, after receiving clear and convincing evidence, determines that testimony by the
121
+ victim would be materially altered if the victim heard other testimony at that
122
+ proceeding.
123
+ (4) The right to be reasonably heard at any public proceeding in the district court
124
+ involving release, plea, sentencing, or any parole proceeding.
125
+ (5) The reasonable right to confer with the attorney for the Government in the case.
126
+ (6) The right to full and timely restitution as provided in law.
127
+ (7) The right to proceedings free from unreasonable delay.
128
+ (8) The right to be treated with fairness and with respect for the victim's dignity and
129
+ privacy.
130
+ 18 U.S.C. § 3771(a).
131
+ If a prosecution is underway, the CVRA grants victims standing to vindicate their rights
132
+ in the ongoing criminal action. 18 U.S.C. § 3771(d)(3). If, however, a prosecution is not
133
+ underway, the victims may initiate a new action under the CVRA in the district court of the
134
+ 5
135
+ EFTA00205834

+
137
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 99 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/26/2011 Page 6 of 14
138
+ district where the crime occurred.* Id. The statute also tasks the district courts and the
139
+ prosecutors with the responsibility of protecting these rights. See 18 U.S.C. § 3771(b)(1) ("IT]he
140
+ court shall ensure that the crime victim is afforded the rights described in subsection (a)."); §
141
+ 3771(c)(1) ("Officers and employees of the Department of Justice ... shall make their best
142
+ efforts to see that crime victims are notified of, and accorded, the rights described in subsection
143
+ (a).").
144
+ Here, Plaintiffs first argue that as a matter of law the CVRA's protections attach before a
145
+ formal charge is filed against the criminal defendant. Accordingly, Plaintiffs contend that the
146
+ CVRA applied here and that the U.S. Attorney's Office violated their CVRA rights; namely,
147
+ their rights to confer, to be treated with fairness, and to accurate and timely notice of court
148
+ proceedings. Based on these violations, Plaintiffs request that this Court set a briefing schedule
149
+ and hearing on the appropriate remedy, which according to Plaintiffs is to invalidate the non-
150
+ prosecution agreement.
151
+ The United States argues that as a matter of law the CVRA does not apply before formal
152
+ charges are filed, i.e., before an indictment or similar charging document, and therefore does not
153
+ apply here because formal charges were never filed against Epstein. The United States further
154
+ argues that even if the CVRA applied here, the U.S. Attorney's Office complied with its
155
+ requirements.
156
+ The Court first addresses the threshold issue whether the CVRA attaches before the
157
+ government brings formal charges against the defendant The Court holds that it does because the
158
+ "Here, because no criminal case was pending, Plaintiffs filed their petition as a new
159
+ matter in this judicial district, which the Clerk of Court docketed as a civil action.

164
+ statutory language clearly contemplates pre-charge proceedings. For instance, subsections (a)(2)
165
+ and (a)(3) provide rights that attach to "any public court proceeding ... involving the crime."
166
+ Similarly, subsection (b) requires courts to ensure CVRA rights in "any court proceeding
167
+ involving an offense against a crime victim." Court proceedings involving the crime are not
168
+ limited to post-complaint or post-indictment proceedings, but can also include initial appearances
169
+ and bond hearings, both of which can take place before a formal charge. By way of example,
170
+ under Rule 5(a)(1)(A) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, upon arrest the defendant
171
+ must be taken before a magistrate judge "without unnecessary delay" for an initial appearance. If
172
+ the arrest takes place on a weekday, "without unnecessary delay" will typically require that the
173
+ initial appearance occur the following morning, which will often be within twenty-four hours of
174
+ arrest. See United States I. Mendoza, 473 F.2d 697, 702 (5" Cir. 1973) (holding that the
175
+ government satisfied Rule 5's "without unnecessary delay" requirement by bringing the
176
+ defendant before the magistrate judge on the first weekday morning following the arrest). By
177
+ contrast, Rule 5(b) requires that where the defendant is arrested without a warrant, the
178
+ government must file the complaint "promptly." The Supreme Court has interpreted "promptly"
179
+ under Rule 5(b) as generally requiring that the complaint be filed within forty-eight hours of
180
+ arrest. Cnty. Of Riverside I. McLaughlin, 500 U.S. 44, 56-57 (1991). It is therefore possible that
181
+ where the defendant is arrested on a weekday without a warrant, the initial appearance—which
182
+ may also involve the detention or bond hearing under Rule 5(d)(3)-will take place before the
183
+ government files the criminal complaint.
184
+ Subsection (c)(1) requires that "Officers and employees of the Department of Justice and
185
+ other departments and agencies of the United States engaged in the detection, investigation, or
186

190
+ prosecution of crime shall make their best efforts to see that crime victims are notified of, and
191
+ accorded, the rights in subsection (a)." (Emphasis added). Subsection (c)(1)'s requirement that
192
+ officials engaged in "detection [or] investigation" afford victims the rights enumerated in
193
+ subsection (a) surely contemplates pre-charge application of the CVRA.
194
+ Subsection (d)(3) explains that the CVRA's enumerated rights "shall be asserted in the
195
+ district court in which a defendant is being prosecuted for the crime or, if no prosecution is
196
+ underway, in the district court in the district in which the crime occurred." (Emphasis added). If
197
+ the CVRA's rights may be enforced before a prosecution is underway, then, to avoid a strained
198
+ reading of the statute, those rights must attach before a complaint or indictment formally charges
199
+ the defendant with the crime.
200
+ This interpretation is consistent with other federal decisions that have addressed the scope
201
+ of the CVRA. For instance, in In re Dean, 527 F.3d 391 (5" Cir. 2008), the court held that
202
+ subsection (a)(5)'s "right to confer" applied before any prosecution is underway. Id. at 394.
203
+ Specifically, the court explained:
204
+ The district court acknowledged that "there are clearly rights under the CVRA that
205
+ apply before any prosecution is underway." Logically, this includes the CVRA's
206
+ establishment of victims" "reasonable right to confer with the attorney for the
207
+ Government." At least in the posture of this case (and we do not speculate on th
208
+ applicability to other situations), the government should have fashioned a reasonable
209
+ way to inform the victims of the likelihood of criminal charges and to ascertain the
210
+ victims' views on the possible details of a plea bargain.
211
+ Id. at 394 (internal citation and quotation marks omitted). Federal district courts have reached
212
+ similar conclusions. See, e.g., United States . Rubin, 558 F. Supp. 2d 411, 417 n.5 (E.D.N.Y.
213
+ 2008) (discussing victims' "ability to seek pre-prosecution relief" under the CVRA); United
214
+ States I. Okun, No. 08-132, 2009 WL 790042, at *2 (E.D. Va. Mar. 24, 2009) ("IT]he Fifth

218
+ Circuit has noted that victims acquire rights under the CVRA even before prosecution. This
219
+ view is supported by the statutory language, which gives the victims rights before the accepting
220
+ of plea agreements and, therefore, before adjudication of guilt."); United States I. BP Prods N.
221
+ Am. Inc., No. 07-434, 2008 WL 501321, at *11 (S.D. Tex. Feb. 21, 2008) ("There are clearly
222
+ rights under the CVRA that apply before any prosecution is underway."), mandamus denied in
223
+ part, In re Dean 527 F.3d 391 (5"' Cir. 2008).
224
+ The United States argues that because the CVRA accords rights related to "any court
225
+ proceeding," 18 U.S.C. §§ 3771(b)(1), (d)(3), and "in the case," § 3771(b)(5), the CVRA applies
226
+ only after formal charges are filed. The Court finds this argument unavailing. First, as discussed
227
+ above, "court proceedings" can occur before formal charges are filed. Similarly, subsection
228
+ (a)(5)'s reference to the right to confer with "the attorney for the Government in the case," is not
229
+ limited to post-charge proceedings, as the United States is represented by attorneys in each
230
+ criminal case at, for example, initial appearances and bond hearings. Last, the government's
231
+ interpretation ignores the additional language throughout the statute that clearly contemplates
232
+ pre-charge protections, such as subsection (c)(1)'s mandate that U.S. agencies involved at the
233
+ "detection" and "investigation" stage use their best efforts to accord victims their enumerated
234
+ rights under the CVRA and subsection (d)(3)'s provision that victims may vindicate their CVRA
235
+ s For this reason, the Court respectfully disagrees with the interpretation adopted in In re
236
+ Petersen, No. 10-298, 2010 WL 5108692 (N.D. Ind. Dec. 8, 2010), upon which the United States
237
+ relies. See id. at *2 (holding that a "victim's "right to be treated with fairness and with respect
238
+ for [his or her] dignity and privacy' may apply before any prosecution is underway and isn't
239
+ necessarily tied to a 'court proceeding' or 'case,' but concluding that "the right "to confer with
240
+ the attorney for the Government in the case' ... arise[s] only after charges have been brought
241
+ against a defendant and a case has been opened"). But see In re Dean, 527 F.3d at 394 (holding
242
+ that under subsection (a)(5), "the government should have fashioned a reasonable way to inform
243
+ the victims of the likelihood of criminal charges").

248
+ rights even if "no prosecution is underway." See United States I. DBB, Inc., 180 F.3d 1277,
249
+ 1281 (11" Cir. 1999) ("[W]e read the statute to give full effect to each of its provisions. We do
250
+ not look at one word or term in isolation, but instead we look to the entire statutory context.")
251
+ (citation omitted).
252
+ The Court also rejects the United States' argument that pre-charge CVRA rights could
253
+ impair prosecutorial discretion and decision-making. Any encroachment into the prosecutors'
254
+ discretion is expressly limited by the CVRA itself, which provides: "Nothing in this chapter shall
255
+ be construed to impair the prosecutorial discretion of the Attorney General or any officer under
256
+ his direction." 18 U.S.C. § 3771(d)(6). As the court explained in Rubin, "there is absolutely no
257
+ suggestion in the statutory language that victims have a right independent of the government to
258
+ prosecute a crime, set strategy, or object to or appeal pretrial or in limine orders .... In short, the
259
+ CVRA, for the most part, gives victims a voice, not a veto." 558 F. Supp. at 418; see also BP
260
+ Prods N. Am., 2008 WL 501321, at *15 ("Even under an expansive approach, the reasonable
261
+ right to confer on a proposed plea agreement and the government's obligation to provide notice
262
+ of that right is subject to the limit that the CVRA not impair prosecutorial discretion."). Thus, to
263
+ the extent that the victims' pre-charge CVRA rights impinge upon prosecutorial discretion, under
264
+ the plain language of the statute those rights must yield.
265
+ Having determined that as a matter of law the CVRA can apply before formal charges are
266
+ filed, the Court must address whether the particular rights asserted here attached and, if so,
267
+ whether the U.S. Attorney's Office violated those rights. However, the Court lacks a factual
268
+ record to support such findings and must therefore defer ruling on these two issues pending the
269
+ limited discovery discussed below.

277

279
+ Ill.
280
+ Motion for Order Directing the U.S. Attorney's Office Not to Withhold Relevant
281
+ Evidence
282
+ Plaintiffs request an order from the Court "directing the U.S. Attorney's Office not to
283
+ suppress material evidence relevant to this case." (DE 50 at 1). Specifically, Plaintiffs seek all
284
+ information and material known to the government that may be favorable to the victims
285
+ regarding possible violations of their rights under the CVRA. The United States opposes the
286
+ motion, arguing that neither the CVRA nor the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure impose a duty
287
+ upon the U.S. Attorney's Office to provide evidence to Plaintiffs here.
288
+ At the August 12, 2011 hearing on this motion, the United States agreed that this Court,
289
+ under its inherent authority to manage this case, could impose discovery obligations on each
290
+ party. Because the Court finds that some factual development is necessary to resolve the
291
+ remaining issues in this case, it will permit Plaintiffs the opportunity to conduct limited
292
+ discovery in the form of document requests and requests for admissions from the U.S. Attorney's
293
+ Office. Either party may request additional discovery if necessary.
294
+ Because the Court will allow this limited factual development, it is unnecessary to decide
295
+ here whether the CVRA or the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide discovery rights in this
296
+ context. The Court therefore reserves ruling on Plaintiffs' motion.

301
+ Motion to Intervene or in the Alternative for a Sua Sponte Rule
302
+ 11 Order
303
+ Bruce E. Reihart seeks leave to intervene as a party-in-interest under Rule 24(b) of the
304
+ Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Reinhart seeks to intervene to file a motion for sanctions
305
+ based on allegedly "unfounded factual and legal accusations made about Movant in Plaintiffs"
306
+ Motion for Finding of Violations of the Crime Victims' Rights Act." (DE 79 at 1). In that
307
+ motion, Plaintiffs alleged that Reinhart, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney, "joined Epstein's
308
+ payroll shortly after important decisions were made limiting Epstein's criminal liability" and
309
+ improperly represented Epstein victims in follow-on civil suits. (DE 48 at 22). Plaintiffs
310
+ contend that such conduct "give[s], at least, the improper appearance that Reinhart may have
311
+ attempted to curry [favor] with Epstein and then reap his reward through favorable employment."
312
+ (DE 48 at 23). Reinhart takes great offense to these accusation-
313
+ -which he contends are false,
314
+ irrelevant to the CVRA claims, and gratuitous and seeks intervention to rebut these allegations
315
+ and move for sanctions.
316
+ Under Rule 24(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, "the court may permit anyone
317
+ to intervene who ... has a claim or defense that shares with the main action a common question
318
+ of law or fact." It is "wholly discretionary with the court whether to allow intervention under
319
+ Rule 24(b) and even though there is a common question of law or fact, or the requirements of
320
+ Rule 24(b) are otherwise satisfied, the court may refuse to allow intervention." In re Bayshore
321
+ Ford Trucks Sales, Inc., 471 F.3d 1233, 1246 (11"" 2006). The Court will deny
322
+ request to intervene.

+
326
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 99 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/26/2011 Page 13 of 14
327
+ First, the Court finds that |
328
+ • claim does not share a common question of law or
329
+ fact with the CVRA action. Reinhart claims that two paragraphs of Plaintiffs' forty-page motion
330
+ make groundless and bad-faith accusations against his integrity and character. However, the
331
+ veracity of Plaintiffs' two paragraphs —i.e., whether Reinhurt used his position at the U.S.
332
+ Attorney's Office to ingratiate himself with Epstein and advance his career in private
333
+ practice-involves no common questions with the Plaintiffs' claims that the U.S. Attorney's
334
+ Office violated their CVRA rights through the process in which it entered into the NPA with
335
+ Epstein. Indeed, I
336
+ motion argues that the allegations against him are "irrelevant" and
337
+ that Plaintiffs "do[] not make any effort to connect these allegations to the relief [they] seek[]."
338
+ (DE 79 at 2).
339
+ Second, even if these accusations shared common questions with Plaintiffs' CVRA
340
+ claims, the Court would exercise its discretion and deny intervention. The Court cannot permit
341
+ anyone slighted by allegations in court pleadings to intervene and conduct mini-trials to vindicate
342
+ their reputation. Absent some other concrete interest in these proceedings, the Court does not
343
+ believe that the allegations here are sufficiently harmful to justify permissive intervention.
344
+ Reinhart has publicly aired his opposition to and denial of Plaintiffs' contentions, both on this
345
+ docket and in open court, and the Court finds that further proceedings on this issue are
346
+ unwarranted. For the same reason, the Court declines to conduct a sua sponte Rule 11 inquiry.
347
+ Conclusion
348
+ For the foregoing reasons, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiffs'
349
+ Motion for Finding of Violations of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (DEs 48, 52) is GRANTED
350
+ IN PART. The Court concludes that the CVRA can apply before formal charges are filed. The

+ 1. NOTICE
5
+ Please be advised that, by and through this Notice, we, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of
6
+ Florida ("USAO"), have instituted a "Litigation Hold" in connection with the claims set forth in Jane Does #1 and #2 l
7
+ United States, Case No.: 08-80736-CIV-MARRA/Johnson regarding alleged violation of the petitioners' rights
8
+ under the Crime Victim's Rights Act ("CVRA").
9
+ To institute this Litigation Hold, we are implementing preservation procedures regarding any and all records, data, or other
10
+ information, whether they exist in paper form or as electronically stored information ("ES/"), within the USAO's possession,
11
+ custody or control relating to the Complaint/Claims (collectively, "Information"). The USAO's obligation to preserve this
12
+ Information pertains not only to paper copies, or "hard copies" (whether in draft or final, partial or complete, versions), but
13
+ also to ESI in its originally-created, or "native" format, as it exists on any computer system (whether it be on the USAO's
14
+ system or your personal computer), as well as removable or portable electronic storage media. Specific examples of
15
+ Information subject to this Litigation Hold include, but are not limited to, e-mails and other electronic communications,
16
+ word processing documents, records, spreadsheets, databases, calendars, telephone logs, internet usage files, network
17
+ access information, and information on other kinds of media, including PDAs (such as Palm Pilots, BlackBerries, and cell
18
+ phones), thumb drives, CDs, as well as digital voicemail and text messages.
19
+ Because the USAO must take reasonable steps to preserve such Information in whatever form it has been created and
20
+ maintained, the USAO's Lit Hold Coordinator and Systems Manager must coordinate with all those who may have such
21
+ Information. We therefore require your assistance to both identify and preserve any and all Information relating to the
22
+ Complaint/Claims, whether or not the Information is ultimately discoverable. Furthermore, we must confirm that you
23
+ understand and accept your preservation obligations under this Litigation Hold.
24
+ Accordingly, you are required to take the two following steps: (1) Identify to us all such Information and where it resides (in
25
+ Section Il below); and (2) Certify having received notice of this Litigation Hold and understanding and accepting your
26
+ preservation obligations under this Litigation Hold (in Section III below). [NOTE: While seeking to identify all such
27
+ Information, please refrain to the maximum extent possible from opening emails/files you believe to be relevant.]

66
+ and all Information (as defined above) I may have now, as well as all such Information I may subsequently receive, create or

68
+ Information in "native" format and, conversely, that I not delete or destroy any such Information until I receive formal
69
+ written notice that this Litigation Hold is discontinued. To fulfill these continuing obligations, I will undertake the necessary
70
+ steps to preserve this Information, be it "hard copy" and/or ESI, in coordination with the USAO's Lit Hold Coordinator and
71
+ Systems Manager.
72
+ Please be advised that failure to preserve and retain this Information may result in sanctions and/or implicate professional
73

74

75
+ about whether to preserve certain ESI, or its native formatting, please contact the USAO's Lit Hold Coordinator or Systems
76
+ Manager.
77
+ Please sign below to acknowledge you have read this Notice and Certification and understand and accept your preservation
78
+ obligations, then return the executed copy to the USAO's Lit Hold Coordinator. Thank you.

15
+ Re: Jeffrey Epstein/B.B.
16
+ Dear Mr. Kuvin:
17
+ Thank you for your letter regarding the deposition of Mr. Reiter. I have not received or
18
+ reviewed a copy of Mr. Reiter's deposition, so I do not know the substance of his testimony.
19
+ In response to your questions, no computer was seized from Mr. Epstein's home, and the
20
+ FBI did not return any computer equipment to Mr. Epstein, or any lawyer or investigator
21
+ working for Mr. Epstein. While Chief of Police, Mr. Reiter was provided with a copy of the list
22
+ of identified victims that was provided to Mr. Epstein via his attorneys. A cover sheet provided
23
+ that the document should be treated as confidential, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code,
24
+ Section 3509(d) and Florida Law. Mr. Reiter was not instructed to destroy the letter by the U.S.
25
+ Attorney's Office, although he may have decided to do so of his own accord.
26
+ Regarding your proposed subpoenas, a federal official's testimony cannot be authorized
27
+ without first complying with their employing agency's Touhy regulations. See United States el
28
+ rel. Touhy |. Ragen, 340 U.S. 462, 468 (1951); 5 U.S.C. § 301. The regulations related to the
29
+ Federal Bureau of Investigation can be found at 28 C.F.R. §$ 16.21, et seq. Requests for
30
+ documents are normally handled through FOIA requests. Agency counsel for the FBI handles
31
+ those types of requests.
32
+ Sincerely,
33
+ Jeffrey H. Sloman
