It describes an attorney's attempt to file civil litigation against Epstein and the reporting of a $50 million civil suit and an anticipated plea deal by the New York Post. The document also notes that the FBI and prosecutors interviewed additional victims and that an FBI report indicates a victim's belief that Epstein should be prosecuted.

This document excerpt details the victim notification processes during the Epstein investigation, specifically focusing on the actions of an individual named Villafaña and the FBI. It highlights discrepancies and lack of uniformity in victim notification, with Villafaña preparing her own introductory letters to victims while the FBI also sent letters, often without Villafaña's direct knowledge or review, prior to Epstein's guilty plea in 2008.

This legal document details the FBI's victim notification procedures during the 2006 investigation into Epstein. It describes how, starting in August 2006, the FBI's Victim Specialist, directed by the case agent, used the Victim Notification System (VNS) to send letters to victims informing them of their CVRA rights and the case status. The document also notes the use of pamphlets, such as "Help for Victims of Crime," to explain that the U.S. Attorney's Office would be responsible for ensuring their rights were afforded after an indictment.
DOJ-OGR-00021395.jpg
This document is a page from a DOJ report (likely OPR) detailing the mechanics of the Automated Victim Notification System (VNS). It explains the procedural handoff between the FBI (investigation stage) and the USAO (prosecution stage) regarding victim contact. It specifically notes that during the Epstein investigation, the FBI used VNS to generate seven specific types of form letters for victims.
Standard form letter to victims
An email from the Victim Specialist informing case agent Villafaña that a standard form FBI letter was sent to all remaining identified victims.
Victim notification
An additional, substantially similar notification letter was sent to two victims residing outside the United States after Epstein's state court pleas.
