The U.S. District Court appears in the Epstein files primarily as the venue for dozens of civil lawsuits filed by victims in the Southern District of Florida (2008-2010), as well as the forum for litigation challenging the controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement that allowed Epstein to avoid federal charges.
The court is referenced most frequently in connection with civil cases filed by victims (identified as Jane Doe No. 3, Jane Doe No. 7, etc.) seeking damages under 18 U.S.C. § 2255, and in court filings challenging prosecutors' handling of the 2008 non-prosecution agreement under the Crime Victims' Rights Act. Several mentions cite Judge Kenneth Marra's 2019 ruling that federal prosecutors violated victims' rights by secretly negotiating the plea deal, and Judge William J. Zloch's criticism of the U.S. Attorney's Office for unexplained failures. Other references include filings in the Southern District of New York related to later litigation against Epstein's estate and associates.
