Dear Jay and Roy: Thank you for your response to my earlier e-mail. Our communications with Mr. Black and later with Mr. Lefkowitz were solely to determine what Mr. Epstein considered to be the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. We appreciate your answering our question with finality. You have now made clear that Mr. Epstein did not accept the December modification, and accordingly, the offer to make that modification is hereby withdrawn. Pursuant to our Agreement, I will prepare an Amended Notification that contains the names of additional identified victims. As you know, Judge had selected the Podhurst firm to serve as the attorney representative for the victims. Assuming that Mr. Josefsberg is still amenable to the appointment, we will provide him with the victim list so that he may begin his service. Finally, as you are aware, the United States has been ordered to produce the Non-Prosecution Agreement. In accordance with that Order, we will produce the September Agreement with the October Addendum signed by your client. We understand that Mr. Goldberger did not provide the state court with a true copy of the complete Agreement, and he should take steps to correct that error. A.

(USAFLS) Cc: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS) Subject: RE: New proposed response to Jay Something which is a nullity lacks any legal import. If it has been withdrawn, then the item had import at one time, but it no longer does. If the December 2007 letter is viewed as an offer, there was no acceptance, or it has been rejected. Consequently, the offer no longer has an legal import. We are obligated to provide a copy of the non-prosecution agreement to petitioners, whatever that agreement is. If the December 2007 letter never became a part of the agreement, and the government and Epstein are in agreement as to that issue, then we can produce the September 2007 agreement and the addendum.

I have attached a letter from Jay Lefkowitz that came in by fax on Friday night. The good news is that they seem to be in agreement regarding Mr. Josefsberg. Most of the letter doesn't really require a comment, but I wanted to get Dexter's feedback regarding the notification to the victims of their right to see the agreement. Here is the language from my proposed victim notification letter: "In addition, a judge has ordered that the United States make available to any designated victim (and/or her attorney) a copy of the actual agreement between Mr. Epstein and the United States, so long as the victim (and/or her attorne reviews, signs, and agrees to be bound by a Protective Order entered by the Court. If Ms. would like to review the Agreement, please let me know, and I will forward a copy of the Protective Order for her signature." Lefkowitz objects, but I am wondering whether Dexter agrees that the spirit of our discussions with Judge Marra requires such a notification. If we make the entire agreement available to Mr. Josefsberg and he conveys that information to all of his clients, the concern becomes moot, I suppose. Lastly, from my discussion with Bob, it appears that the Office does not want to add to the list the names of victims identified after the date of signing the September agreement unless our investigation had provided enough information that we were pre ared to include them in the indictment — i.e., the New York girls — and that you do not want me to re-add to the list, even though we have extensive corroboration of her involvement with Epstein. Can someone please confirm? Thank you all. «080822 Lefkowitz ftr to Villafana.pdf» A. Marie Vitiate& Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.

(USAFLS); Acosta, Alex (USAFLS); Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS); Senior, Robert (USAFLS); Atkinson, Karen (USAFLS) Subject: RE: Letter re Epstein and Protective Order Marie, During our telephonic hearing, I received the clear impression that Judge Marra wanted the other victims (non-parties to the Jane Doe litigation), would be given the opportunity to see the Agreement, subject to each one agreeing to be bound by the protective order. I believe it would be contrary to Judge Marra's intent for us to go through the trouble of creating a mechanism for the other non-party victims to have access to the Agreement, and then not tell them there is an Agreement. Also, does CVRA impose any obligation on us, independent of what Judge Marra ordered, to advise the victims of the Agreement? Dexter From: Villafana, Ann Marie C.

First, you state that "Mr. Josefsberg expended time. effort and funds in preparing to serve as attorney representative in October of 2007.- Neither I. nor any other attorney on Mr. Epstein's defense team. was notified of this work by Mr. Josefsberg. Second. in the victim notification letter, no judge "has ordered that the United States" make available a copy of the Non-Prosecution. Agreement. Section (d} of the Order to Compel Production and Protective Order provides that if any of the alleged - victims- and/or their attorneys "request the apponunity to review the Agreement.- the USA() shall comply with the request so long as those individuals agree not to disclose the Non-Prosecution Agreement. There is no court order requiring the government to provide the alleged "victims- with notice that the Non-Prosecution Agreement is available to them upon request and doing so is in conflict with the confidentiality provisions of the Agreement. Given that the individuals on the list will have an attorney representative who is fully aware of the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. this conflicting paragraph of your notice is unnecessary in any event and should he excisVd. Third. misstatements in your prior notification were not made "with the approval of Mr. Hpstein's counsel.- Fourth, we are concerned with your open-ended description of Mr. fipswin's responsibilities regarding civil restitution.

I believe it would be contrary to Judge Marra's intent for us to go through the trouble of creating a mechanism for the other non-party victims to have access to the Agreement, and then not tell them there is an Agreement. Also, does CVRA impose any obligation on us, independent of what Judge Marra ordered, to advise the victims of the Agreement? Dexter From: Villafana, Ann Marie C.

I have attached a letter from Jay Lefkowitz that came in by fax on Friday night. The good news is that they seem to be in agreement regarding Mr. Josefsberg. Most of the letter doesn't really require a comment, but I wanted to get Dexter's feedback regarding the notification to the victims of their right to see the agreement. Here is the language from my proposed victim notification letter: "In addition, a judge has ordered that the United States make available to any designated victim (and/or her attorney) a copy of the actual agreement between Mr. Epstein and the United States, so long as the victim (and/or her attorne reviews, signs, and agrees to be bound by a Protective Order entered by the Court. If Ms. would like to review the Agreement, please let me know, and I will forward a copy of the Protective Order for her signature." Lefkowitz objects, but I am wondering whether Dexter agrees that the spirit of our discussions with Judge Mara requires such a notification. If we make the entire agreement available to Mr. Josefsberg and he conveys that information to all of his clients, the concern becomes moot, I suppose. Lastly, from my discussion with Bob, it appears that the Office does not want to add to the list the names of victims identified after the date of signing the September agreement unless our investigation had provided enough information that we were re ared to include them in the indictment — i.e., the New York girls — and that you do not want me to re-add to the list, even though we have extensive corroboration of her involvement with Epstein. Can someone please confirm? Thank you all. << File: 080822 Lefkowitz kr to Villafana.pdf >> A. Marie Villafalla Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.
