UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA Case No. 08-80736-CI V-Marra/Matthewman JANE DOE # I and JANE DOE #2, Petitioners, I UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent. UNITED STATES' RESPONSE TO PETITIONERS' FIRST REOUEST FOR ADMISSIONS TO THE GOVERNMENT The United States (hereinafter the "government") hereby responds to Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2's First Request for Admissions to the Government Regarding Questions Relevant to Their Pending Action Concerning the Crime Victims Rights Act (hereinafter the "Request for Admissions"), and states as follows:' I. The government admits that the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida ("USAO") conducted an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein") and developed evidence and information in contemplation of a potential federal prosecution against Epstein for many federal sex offenses.

Justice Department probe into former Labor Secretary Marty Acosta and lead prosecutor Marie Villafafia over secretive Epstein plea deal
Justice Department probe into former Labor Secretary Marty Acosta and lead prosecutor Marie Villafafia over secretive Epstein plea deal The passage identifies a current DOJ investigation into possible professional misconduct by a sitting cabinet secretary (Marty Acosta) and a senior prosecutor (Marie Villafafia) regarding the handling of the high‑profile Jeffrey Epstein case. It provides concrete names, roles, and a specific legal allegation (withholding victim information in violation of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act). While the claim is not entirely new, the involvement of a cabinet member and a pending DOJ probe make it a strong, actionable lead that could generate significant controversy if substantiated. Key insights: Marty Acosta, now U.S. Secretary of Labor, helped negotiate a controversial federal plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein.; Lead prosecutor Marie Villafafia is accused of intentionally keeping the plea agreement from victims, violating victims' rights statutes.; U.S. District Judge Kenneth A. Marra criticized the government's failure to disclose information to victims.

Deferred Prosecution Agreement Dispute Over Minor Procurement Charge in Epstein Case
Deferred Prosecution Agreement Dispute Over Minor Procurement Charge in Epstein Case The passage reveals internal conflicts between the defense, state prosecutors, and the State Department of Florida (SDFL) regarding the specific charge to be included in Epstein's Deferred Prosecution Agreement, including references to a threatened 53‑page indictment and a missed appeal to Assistant Attorney General Alice Fisher. While it names high‑profile actors (Jeffrey Epstein, AAG Fisher) and suggests possible procedural obstruction, it lacks concrete evidence of wrongdoing, financial flows, or direct misconduct, limiting its immediate investigative utility. Key insights: Disagreement over whether Epstein should be charged with 'procurement of minors' (registrable) or 'solicitation of minors' (non‑registrable).; SDFL allegedly failed to provide factual allegations needed for a registrable offense despite multiple requests.; Defense faced a deadline threatening a 53‑page indictment identifying 40 minors and a potential 188‑month sentence.
