However, as we stated more than two years ago in July 2008 in our response to the plaintiffs' then emergency petition for enforcement of the Crime Victim Rights Act (CVRA), the CVRA was not violated since no federal charges were ever filed in the Southern District of Florida. From: Michele Dargan [mailto Sent: Monc March 21, 2011 4:52 PM To: , (USAFLS) Subject: Jeffrey Epstein Hi There's been a new court filing in West Palm Beach federal court regarding Jeffrey Epstein. In case # 08-CV-80736, attorneys for Jane Doe #1 and #2 are challenging the validity of the federal NPA, worked out between the USAO and Jeffrey Epstein's criminal attorneys before he pled guilty to his state charges. EFTA00206392

Basically, the attorneys for Doe 1 and 2 are saying the USAO did not notify the victims before signing the NPA, which violates the Crime Victims Rights Act. They are saying that the NPA should be invalidated because of it. They also allege in the motion that the USAO agreed to keeping the NPA secret (it was originally sealed) because of pressure from Epstein's attorneys and higher ups in the Justice Dept. I'm reaching out to you for a response to the court filing. I am on deadline with the story.
