"We recognized ... a successful case could be made only if a jury heard from a long series of credible victims ... who had all been subjected to the same treatment at Epstein's hands."
The affidavit was filed by line prosecutor Marie Villafana, who was part of the FLSD team that negotiated the non-prosecution agreement with Epstein's attorneys.
"A suggestion that, ten to twelve years ago, when many were still teenagers, [Epstein's] victims were willing to step forward in a public form ... is unfounded and untrue," Villafana wrote.
