United States Case No.: 08-80736-Civ-Marra/Johnson Dear Mr. Ferrer: As you know, we have been in litigation for more than six years on a case under the Crime Victims' Rights Act — a case that involves decisions that were all made before you took office and that gave Jeffrey Epstein an expansive non-prosecution agreement. Several years ago you were nice enough to meet with us and one of our clients to discuss the case, which we 'really appreciated. More recently we contacted the line attorneys working on the case to see if we could reach some stipulated facts on various issues surrounding the case. It is in that spirit of trying to avoid unnecessary battles that we wanted to alert you to a motion we arc preparing to file to see whether this could be a stipulated motion. Our CVRA case is brought on behalf of two sexual assault victims - Jane Doe. and Jane Doe We would like to add a third victim to the case - Jane Does. Her true name is although we would seek to keep her identity confidential during the proceedings. We contacted your office about prosecuting the crimes Jeffrey Epstein committed against her a couple years ago when we realized that she was not includes in the NPA; however, we were told that despite not knowing about this particular victim when the agreement with Epstein was reached, the NPA was drafted so broadly as to preclude criminal charges for the crimes committed against her. Adding her to the case will not expand the issues in the case. Nor will it result in any new discovery or additional delay. 3501.509-001 Page 1 of 6 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00076493 EFTA01250211 Wifredo A.

As the Court is aware, more than six years ago Jane Doe filed the present action against the United States, alleging a violation of her rights under the CVRA, 18 U.S.C. § 3771. She alleged that Jeffrey Epstein had sexually abused her and that the United States had entered into a secret non-prosecution agreement regarding those crimes in violation of her rights. At the first court hearing on the case, the Court allowed Jane Doe to also join the action.
