Alleged USAO Leaks and Victim Notification Scheme in Epstein Non‑Prosecution Agreement
Summary
Alleged USAO Leaks and Victim Notification Scheme in Epstein Non‑Prosecution Agreement The passage describes internal communications showing a U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO) allegedly coordinating victim‑notification letters, encouraging civil suits, and leaking confidential case details to a New York Times reporter. It names specific officials (Assistant Attorney General Alice Fisher, AUSA Jeff Sloman, AUSA David Weinstein, AUSA Villafana) and links them to potential misconduct in a high‑profile Epstein case, offering concrete follow‑up leads (emails, letters, dates). While some details are already public, the alleged leak to the press and the proposed fee‑shifting scheme are novel angles that merit investigation. Key insights: Nov 27‑28 2007 emails/letters show USAO staff (Sloman, Villafana) preparing victim‑notification letters and urging civil suits under a non‑prosecution agreement.; Letter cites the “Justice for All Act of 2004,” later deemed inapplicable, and mischaracterizes Epstein as a “sexual predator.”; Proposed language would shift attorney‑fee costs to Epstein if victims used court‑appointed counsel.

I spoke to him last week and he said he had more information they wanted to present. I told him he could make an appointment to come in again if he wanted to and that we would meet with him again, but I did not promise that we would wait to give him a meeting "before" we charged. So, I think he is really ready for the next level rather than a second meeting with me. Mike Tein also mentioned to me at some point that they wanted to make a presentation on the law and I suggested to him that he contact Matt without telling him exactly what stage of review we were at. I don't know if Tein and Lefcourt have crossed wires or not. In any event, I am forwarding this letter to you. I am going to suggest to Lefcourt the same thing tha

Our Office is trying to perform our contractual obligations under the Agreement, which we feel are being frustrated by defense counsel's objections. The Office also is concerned about Mr. Epstein's nonperformance. More than three weeks ago we spoke about the failure to set a timely plea and sentencing date. At that time, you assured me that the scheduling delay was caused by the unavailability of Judge McSorley. You promised that a date would be set promptly. On November 15th, Roland
