Dear Mr. Starr:

Dear Mr. Starr: I write in response to your November 2811' letter, in which you raise concerns regarding the Non-Prosecution Agreement between this Office and your client, Mr. Epstein. I take these concerns seriously. As your letter focused on the Section 2255 portion of the Agreement, my response will focus primarily to that issues as well. I do wish to make some more general observations, however. Section 2255 provides that "any minor who is a victim of a violation of [enumerated sections of Title 18] and who suffers personal injury as a result of such violation may sue in any appropriate United States District Court and shall recover the actual damages such minor sustains and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee." Thus, had this Office proceeded to trial, and had Mr. Epstein been convicted, the victims of his actions would have been entitled to relief under this Section. The Non-Prosecution Agreement entered into between the Southern District of Fl
