This affidavit reveals critical details about Jeffrey Epstein's non-prosecution agreement (NPA) with the federal government, which effectively shielded him from criminal charges for sex crimes against minors, including Jane Doe. It highlights the systemic failures in the justice system that allowed Epstein to evade accountability for his actions, while also illustrating the challenges faced by victims seeking justice.
- Epstein has entered into a 'non-prosecution agreement' (NPA) with the federal government for sex crimes against minors.
- Under the NPA, Epstein has agreed not to contest civil liability of any of his approximately thirty victims - provided that the victim agrees to limit themselves to the damages provided by 18 U.S.C. § 2255.
- Epstein has invoked his Fifth Amendment right to silence with respect to the allegations that he molested her as a child.
