DOJ argued against the rescission of the Epstein Non-Prosecution Agreement in the victims' Florida case.
In addition to the potential harm posed to innocent third parties, the law unfortunately restricts the government’s and Court’s ability to rewrite the NPA a decade later.
the government violated the CVRA by failing to advise the victims that it intended to enter into the NPA with Epstein.
the government believes that it should have communicated its resolution of the federal criminal investigation of Epstein to his victims more effectively and in a more transparent manner.
The government regrets that the manner in which it communicated the resolution of the Epstein case to the victims fell short.
The Department of Justice will designate a representative to meet with Petitioners, and any other Epstein victim who wishes to participate, to discuss the government’s decision to resolve the Epstein case and engage in an open dialogue about that decision.
The government will participate in a public court proceeding, presided over by this Court, in which the Petitioners, and any other Epstein victim who wishes to participate, can make a victim impact statement. That hearing would be handled in a manner similar to the way the Court would handle victim impact statements in the context of a criminal sentencing.
