GagisEM0B3owERITEBWMPI4 CIDanaturreirlt3E32-52-itEettamiRirEELSEXDO:0810=071301:6agPagef716f 17 Following the signing of the Non-Prosecution Agreement and the modifications thereto by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida, Epstein received an unusual benefit that the Government does not ordinarily provide to other criminal defendants: his performance was delayed white he was given an opportunity to seek higher level review within the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. On around January 10, 2008, Jane Doc #1 and Jane Doe #2 received letters from the FBI advising them that "[t]his case is currently under investigation. This can be a lengthy process and we request you continued patience while we conduct a thorough investigation." The FBI sent these letters, under the direction of the U.S. Attorney's Office, because it believed that the CVRA applied to Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2. The FBI did not notify Jane Doe #1 or Jane Doe #2 that the Non-Prosecution Agreement had been concluded four months earlier. Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 reasonably understood that a federal criminal investigation of Epstein was on-going and that federal criminal charges were possibility. At the time, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 believed that criminal prosecution of Epstein was extremely important. They also desired to be consulted by the FBI and/or other representatives of the federal government about the prosecution of Epstein. In light of the letters that they had received around January 10 (among other things), they reasonably believed that they would be contacted before the federal government reached any final resolution of that investigation. In the spring 2008, Jane Doe #1 contacted the FBI because Epstein's counsel was attempting to take her deposition and private investigators were harassing her. Assistant U.S. Attorney secured pro bono counsel to represent Jane Doe il l and several other identified victims in connection with the criminal investigation. Pro bono counsel was able to 6 EFTA00185104

AUSA Villafafla secured pro bono counsel by contacting Meg Garvin, Esq. of the National Crime Victims' Law Institute in Portland, Oregon, which is based in the Lewis & Clark College of Law. During the call, Ms. Garvin was not advised about the Non-Prosecution Agreement. In mid-June 2008, Mr. Edwards contacted Assistant U.S. Attorney Villafafla to inform her that he represented Jane Doe #1 and, later, Jane Doe #2. Mr. Edwards asked to meet to provide information about the federal crimes committed by Epstein, hoping to secure a significant federal indictment against Epstein. AUSA Villafafla and Mr. Edwards discussed the possibility of federal charges being filed. At the end of the call, AUSA Villafafla asked Mr. Edwards to send any information that he wanted considered by the U.S. Attorney's Office in determining whether to file federal charges. Because of the confidentiality provision in the Non-Prosecution Agreement, Mr. Edwards was not informed of the Agreement's existence. Mr. Edwards was also not informed that any resolution of the criminal matter was imminent. On July 3, 2008, Mr. Edwards sent to AUSA Villafafia a letter, a true and correct copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3. In the letter, Mr. Edwards indicated his desire that federal charges be filed against defendant Epstein. In particular, he wrote on behalf of his clients: "We urge the Attorney General and our United States Attorney to consider the fundamental import of the vigorous enforcement of our Federal laws. We urge you to move forward with the traditional indictments and criminal prosecution commensurate with the crimes Mr. Epstein has committed, and we further urge you to take the steps necessary to protect our children from this very dangerous sexual predator." When Mr. Edwards wrote this letter, he still had not been made aware that a Non-Prosecution Agreement had been reached with Epstein. 7 EFTA00185105

0aesie9308camEWEEEMS4441 atonmenita322-EriteeteonlftlrEIELBEtclittfi8K0202g11801,63tgPaTgefifif 17 On about July 3, 2008, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 learned, through telephones conversations had between Mr. Edwards and AUSA Villafafia, that the U.S. Attorney's Office and Epstein might be in the process of finalizing some sort of plea arrangement. Accordingly, they filed an emergency motion seeking to protect their rights under the CVRA, including in particular their right to confer about the proposed plea arrangement. Mr. Edwards — and thus his clients -- first learned of the Non-Prosecution Agreement on or after July 9, 2008, when the Government filed its responsive pleading to Jane Doe's emergency petition. That pleading was the first public mention of the non-prosecution agreement and the first disclosure to Mr. Edwards and his clients. Epstein, through his attorneys, knew that the victims had not been informed about the plea arrangement. On July 9, 2008, AUSA sent a victim notification to Jane Doe #1 via her attorney, Mr. Edwards, which is attached as Exhibit 6 to the Declaration. That notification contains a written explanation of some of the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement between Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office. A full copy of the terms was not provided. This was the first time that Jane Doe #1 was told that the arrangement blocked any possibility of federal criminal charges being filed against Epstein. A notification was not provided to Jane Doe #2 because the agreement limited Epstein's liability to victims whom the United States was prepared to name in an indictment. On July 11, 2008, the Court held a hearing on the victims' emergency motion. During the hearing, the Government discussed in open court various provisions of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. At the conclusion of the hearing, victims' counsel and the Government agreed to 8 EFTA00185106

02tasE9998€0z>803036EKI4M4 DiDocomeh8G9-5EntErtlelred ObStalbenatlire/02/200£018agtagelleof 17 confer in an effort to determine the undisputed facts of the fact. The Court took the motion under advisement. On July 16, 2008, the Government sent to Mr. Edwards a proposed set of undisputed facts, which is attached to this pleading as Exhibit 1. On July 17, 2008, Mr. Edwards sent a response to the Government, which is attached to this pleading as Exhibit 2. The response made various suggestions to the proposed undisputed facts. The response also requested a copy of the Non-Prosecution Agreement and the Report of Interview with Jane Doe #1. On July 29, 2008, rather than attempt to work with victims' counsel to draft a set of undisputed facts, the Government filed its "Notice to Court Regarding Absence of Need for Evidentiary Hearing." At all times material to this statement of facts, it would have been easily practical and feasible for the Federal Government to inform Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 of the details of any proposed plea agreement with Epstein, including in particular the details of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. The reason that AUSA Villafafla and the FBI agents acting with her did not provide this information to Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 was because of the express confidentiality provision that had been entered into by the Federal Government and Epstein. This provision was requested by Epstein. The Government was under no obligation to enter into such an arrangement and would have been statutorily forbidden from entering into such an arrangement by the CVRA's requirement that it "confer" with the victims about any disposition of their cases. 9 EFTA00185107

The reason that the Government abruptly terminated discussions about the facts with the victims seem obvious: The facts, if revealed, would plainly demonstrate that the victims did not receive their right under the CVRA to confer with the Government and to be treated fairly. The victims will not repeat all of their arguments from their earlier pleadings but would simply highlight for the Court the point that this case already reeks of favored treatment for a billionaire sex offender who has substantial influence. Regardless of how the Court proceeds, it should at least do so on the basis of fully developed factual record so that the victims and the public can be assured that justice has been done. If anything, the facts in this case now call for immediate judgment in favor of the victims. Based on the Government's proposed stipulated facts (Exhibit 1 to this pleading), it is now obvious that the Government could not have fulfilled its statutory obligations to confer with the victims. As now admitted by the Government, in September 2007, it had entered into a Non- Prosecution Agreement with Epstein containing what it describes as "an express confidentiality provision." While the Government has refused to disclose the text of this provision (or, indeed, the Non-Prosecution Agreement itself), it is apparent that the Government could not have conferred with the victims about the Agreement while abiding by the confidentiality provision. Likewise it is now apparent that the Government has not fulfilled its statutory obligation to treat the victims with fairness. The Government reached the Non-Prosecution Agreement with 10 EFTA00185108

For example, on around January 10, 2008, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 received letters from the FBI advising them that "[Obis case is currently under investigation. This can be a lengthy process and we request your continued patience while we conduct a thorough investigation." As the Government well knew, however, a Non-Prosecution Agreement had already been reached with Epstein at that time — a fact not disclosed in the letter. The victims therefore request judgment in their favor that their rights under the CVRA have been violated. In the alternative, the victims request that the Court direct that the Government confer in good faith with the victims to attempt to reach a set of stipulated facts that might form the basis for a final ruling in this case. As part of this conference, the victims request that the Government indicate which (if any) of the proposed facts set forth above it disputes. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PRODUCE THE NON-PROSECUTION AGREEMENT Remarkably, the Government has yet to disclose to the victims the very Non-Prosecution Agreement that lies at the heart of this case. This failure becomes even more curious when assessed against the Government's proposed stipulation of facts, which included the proposed fact that the victims had been told about the "full terms" of the Agreement. The proposed stipulated facts that the Government sent to the victims included this proposed stipulation: On July 9, 2008, AUSA Villafafta sent a victim notification to Jane Doe #1 via her attorney, Bradley Edwards, which is attached as Exhibit 6 to the Villafafla Declaration. That notification contains a written explanation of the full terms of the agreement between Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office. Contrary to its own proposed stipulation, the Government has never disclosed to the victims the II EFTA00185109

To protect the victims' right to be treated with fairness, 18 U.S.C. § 3771(a)(8), it should be required to do so now. Congress' main concern in passing the CVRA was that crime victims were "treated as non-participants in a critical event in their lives. They were kept in the dark by prosecutors too busy to care enough ... and by a court system that simply did not have a place for them." 150 Coma. REC. S4262 (Apr. 22, 2004) (statement of Sen. Feinstein). To remedy this problem, Congress gave victims "the simple right to know what is going on, to participate in the process where the information that victims and their families can provide may be material and relevant ... ." Id. To date, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 do not know what has happened to their case, because they have not been told how it has been resolved. Of course, no possible harm to the Government can come from the release of the Agreement, as this criminal matter is now concluded — at least from the Government's perspective. Production of the Non-Prosecution Agreement is also warranted because it has provisions in it that are designed to benefit Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2. As described by the Government, the Agreement contains provisions in it that preclude Epstein from contesting civil liability for the sex offenses committed against a number of the victims, including Jane Doe #1. Obviously, Jane Doe #1 cannot take advantage of this provision if her attorneys are not able to review it. Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 intend to file civil suits against Epstein within the next few days. Epstein knows what is in the Non-Prosecution Agreement that may be helpful to him. Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 are entitled to see the Agreement for items that may be helpful to them. Finally, Epstein is apparently taking advantage of provisions in the Non-Prosecution Agreement to stall civil suits against him. For example, in Jane Doe 1. Epstein et al, No. 08- 12 EFTA00185110

Gasie9301BowEeD73161O1111 namuntent3E22-ffititaeteardRlESELSOcReditit01711311801eagleajecl4Eif 17 80804-MARRA/JOHNSON (S.D. Fla. 2008), on July 25, 2008, Epstein filed a motion for a stay. That motion claims that the civil action is "a counterpart to a pending federal criminal action." The basis for that claim, so far as Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 can tell, is the federal Non- Prosecution Agreement. Epstein should not be permitted to use provisions in the Agreement to his advantage in private litigation without disclosing those provisions to the parties he is opposing. Indeed, as a simple matter of fairness to the victims, see 18 U.S.C. § 3771(a)(5) (victims right to "fairness"), the provisions should be disclosed. In sum, the Court should direct the Government to reveal to the victims what it has done to resolve the case by ordering production of the full Non-Prosecution Agreement and any accompanying addenda to the agreement. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PRODUCE THE REPORT OF INTERVIEW WITH JANE DOE #1 The Government apparently has a report of interview indicating that two named FBI agents met with Jane Doe #1 on about October 26, 2007. The Government, however, has declined to produce it. The Government should be directed to produce this information to Jane Doe #1. Of course, a criminal defendant would be entitled to such a report. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 16(a)(1)(A) & (B). As an innocent victim in this matter, Jane Doe #1 should be treated with at least the same consideration. See 18 U.S.C. § 3771(aX8) (victim's right to "be treated with fairness"). Jane Doe #1 requested this report in her letter regarding the proposed stipulated facts (see Exhibit 2 to this filing), a request that the Government has simply ignored. 13 EFTA00185111

After doing that, the question then arises as to what is the proper remedy for the violations of victims' rights. To be clear, at this time, the victims seek two things: (1) a judicial declaration that the Government violated their rights under the CVRA and an apology from the Government; and (2) a hearing to discuss the appropriate remedy under the circumstances. At the same time, the victims are not asking to have any provision in the Non-Prosecution Agreement establishing liability in a civil suit to be vacated or declared invalid. Because the possible connection between these two things raises complex legal issues, the victims respectfully request that the Court order a hearing at which the appropriate remedy can be discussed. The victims also need to review the full text of the Non-Prosecution Agreement and any accompanying addenda to make an appropriate determination about the remedy that they wish to pursue. CONCLUSION The Court should find that the Government violated Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2's rights under the CVRA to confer and to be treated with fairness during the negotiation and consummation of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. In the alternative, the Court should direct the Government to confer with the victims regarding what facts are undisputed in this matter and, should material facts actually be disputed, hold an evidentiary hearing regarding those facts. So that the victims can discuss these matters with the Government, the Court should order the 14 EFTA00185112
