In the interim, I would note that since the signing of the September 24hagreement, more than two months' ago, it has become clear that several attorneys on your legal team are dissatisfied with that result. Mr. Epstein's defense team included yourself, Professor Dershowitz, former Solicitor Starr, former United States Attorney Lewis, Ms. Sanchez and Messrs. Black, Goldberger and Lefcourt previously had the opportunity to review and raise objections to the terms of the Agreement. The defense team, however, after extensive negotiation, chose to adopt the Agreement. Since then counsel have objected to several steps taken by the U.S. Attorney's Office to effectuate the terms of the Agreement, in essence presenting collateral challenges to portions of the Agreement. It is not the intention of this Office ever to require a defendant to enter a plea against his wishes. Your client has the right to proceed to trial. If your client is dissatisfied with his Agreement, or believes that it is unlawful or unfair, we stand ready to unwind the Agreement. Sincerely, R.

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
