Document EFTA00026678 appears to be an email exchange regarding the rights of Jeffrey Epstein's victims under the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA). The email discusses the victims' concerns about Epstein's potential release and their request for him to be detained.
This document consists of an email exchange from July 2019 between Paul Cassell, representing victims of Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes, and an unnamed recipient, likely a court official. Cassell informs the recipient of his clients' concerns regarding Epstein's potential release, citing their rights under the CVRA to reasonable protection and fair treatment. He requests that the court consider their fear for their safety and their opposition to any potential "private jail" arrangement for Epstein. The recipient acknowledges receipt of the email and assures Cassell that the court will be informed of the victims' concerns.

We will convey to the Court your clients' concerns and views, including in particular with respect to their interests in reasonable protection and fair treatment, and we very much appreciate you communicating with us consistent with the rights of your clients. thank you again, Original Message From: Paul Cassell <MIII > Sent: Wednesday. July 10 2019 18:12 To: Cc: Stan Pottinger ; Brad Edwards ; Brittany Henderson Subject: RE: Victims asserting right to reasonable protection and other rights HIM, Along with Mr. Pottinger (admitted in the Southern District of New York) and Mr. Edwards (admitted in Florida), I represent various victims of federal sex crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein. It is my understanding that you will be speaking to the court shortly about conditions of his release. My clients request that he be detained, as otherwise they will be fearful for their safety. They believe that his continued detention is necessary under the CVRA's right to "reasonable protection." They request that you communicate that concern to the judge in whatever way you think best, as part of their CVRA right to be heard on a defendant's release. My clients are also concerned that Epstein might try to create some sort of "private jail" to secure his release. My clients believe that this would violate their CVRA right to be treated with fairness and to be free from harassment and abuse. It is unfair to victims of a wealthy defendant, like Epstein, if he is given great freedoms than others would in similar circumstances. Thank you in advance for communicating these concerns to the judge. My clients very much appreciate your efforts to bring Epstein to justice. Paul Cassell for Jane Does EFTA00026678
