Government claims two Jeffrey Epstein victims were complicit, challenging their victim status in 2008 lawsuit
Summary
Government claims two Jeffrey Epstein victims were complicit, challenging their victim status in 2008 lawsuit The passage reveals a new government position that two alleged victims were allegedly paid to recruit others for Epstein, which could affect the non‑prosecution agreement and victim‑rights claims. It names specific officials (Assistant U.S. Attorney Dexter Lee, Judge Kenneth Marra) and references the 2007 non‑prosecution deal, but provides no concrete evidence or financial details. The lead is moderately useful for further investigation into the handling of the 2008 plea deal and potential obstruction of victim rights, but lacks novel financial flows or direct ties to higher‑level officials beyond the prosecutors. Key insights: Assistant U.S. Attorney Dexter Lee asserted two plaintiffs were complicit and therefore not victims under the Crime Victims' Rights Act.; The claim could undermine the 2007 non‑prosecution agreement that shielded Epstein from federal charges.; Victims' attorney Brad Edwards plans to call additional victims and file a 60‑page summary judgment motion by Dec. 15.

Epstein Non-Prosecution Agreement (2008)
The non-prosecution agreement negotiated by U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta shielded Jeffrey Epstein and unnamed 'potential co-conspirators' from federal sex trafficking charges. Epstein pleaded guilty to two state prostitution charges and served approximately 13 months with work release. The NPA was later ruled by Judge Kenneth Marra to have violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by failing to notify victims. The agreement granted immunity to Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, Nadia Marcinkova, Lesley Groff, and other unnamed associates.
