Here is the Court's full 33-page ruling in the Epstein plea deal case (Doe v. US), in which the court held "there was a violation of the victims rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act"

The Epstein crimes are now well-known. The lesser-known facts set forth by the Court are disturbing:
A Palm Beach Prosecutor telling the DOJ he was "Glad we could get this worked out for reasons I won't put in writing."
Meaning secret reasons to keep Epstein out of prison.
On of the DOJ prosecutors handling the case - Marie Villafana - made this admission:
They "never conferred with the victims about a [Non-Prosecution Agreement] or told the victims that such an agreement was under consideration."
She still works for the DOJ.
The DOJ was conspiring with Epstein's lawyers on how to keep the plea deal secret from his young victims.
The DOJ had actually identified 40 victims.
Some were possibly abused hundreds of times.
The FBI and US Attorneys knew exactly how Epstein sexually abused these young girls.
Then US Attorney Alex Acosta met with Epstein's lawyers and agreed to keep the Non-Prosecution Agreement from the victims.
This confirms our prior reporting: Epstein was going to DOJ leadership to influence his case.
(Prior case docs noted Washington DOJ/FBI involved in search warrant decisions, etc.)
Here's the ID of upper level DOJ approving the Epstein deal.
In June of 2008, the Deputy Attorney General approved the Epstein deal. That was Mark Filip. (Previously ID'd in email privilege log.)
