EPSTEIN - 5TH AMENDMENT
DERSHOWITZ DEPOSTIIONS:
1. Dersh Depo Vol 2 — question by Scarola — pg 218 — "So you recognized
as of 1-5-15 that the reason why the statements were filed in the CVRA
case was because the CVRA case had, as an objective, setting aside the
plea agreement that you had negotiated for JE, correct"
2. Cassell vol 1 pg 55 — discussing caption of CVRA — Cassell says "it's a
civil case. However, the ultimate aim of the — the action is to try to
invalidate a nonprosecution agreement and allow criminal
prosecution..our position as I understand it...is that this action is an
action that is ancillary to a contemplated criminal prosecution of JE ,
four women who were assisting him in international sex trafficking and
the other co-conspirators that would be involved..."
3. Cassell vol 1 pg 85 — "there was a provision in the NPA that said this
agreement will prevent federal prosecution for international and
interstate sex trafficking not only of JE and not only of the four women
who were identified but ...any other potential co-
conspirator...unusual...designed to extend immunity to other people that
might have been associated with Epstein...included Mr Dershowitz"
4. Cassell vol 1 pg 99 — "I knew that David Boies had agreed to represent
VR which gave me additional confidence in the fact that I was also
representing this young woman in her effort to bring sex traffickers to
justice, and those who had sexually abused her to justice"
5. Cassell vol 1 pg 100 — critical of JE assertion of 5th —
6. Casselll vol 2 pg 257 — the focus of the CVRA is criminal - setting aside
of NPA (rather than eliciting further monetary civil claims)
7. Cassell vol 2 pg 306 — re Prince Andrew, use of influence to corrupt case
v JE
9 Victim's Reply to 7/11/2008 2 "For all these reasons, the
Government's Government's response lacks merit.
Response to The Court should therefore declare
Emergency Petition . . the proposed non-prosecution
. agreement an illegal one, since it
was reached in violation of the
CVRA, and order the Government to
confer with Petitioner and the other
victims in this matter before
reaching any disposition in this
case."

7 "Here, the wealthy defendant has
escaped all federal punishment — a
plea deal that Petitioner would have
strenuously objected to ... if the
Government had given her the
chance."
10- "The question then arises as to the
11 appropriate remedy. The obvious
remedy is to declare the non-
prosecution agreement illegal and
direct that the Government proceed
to negotiate a new agreement — in a
process that respects Petitioner's
(and all other victims') rights."
14 "This Court must therefore protect
her rights by declaring the non-
prosecution agreement invalid."
16 "The Court should enter an order
finding the non-prosecution
agreement in this case was
negotiated in violation of the CVRA
and therefore is illegal and invalid."

37 "When other plea agreements have been
negotiated in violation of federal law,
they have been stricken by the courts."
39 "The Non-Prosecution Agreement that
the Government entered into in this case
was simply illegal. . . . the only issue for
the Court is whether the Agreement was
lawful. It was not, and so the Court
invalidate it."

about whether it should file federal
criminal charges against Epstein for
sexually abusing them. Such a remedy
would not violate Epstein's constitutional
rights because he was and is a party to the
illegal agreement — and, indeed, he
orchestrated the illegality. In addition, the
victims are seeking numerous other
remedies .. . ."
5 "Instead, the victims seek (among other
remedies) the invalidation of an illegal
non-prosecution agreement so that they can
confer with the Government about an
appropriate prosecution of the crimes
Epstein committed against them."
7 "Second, in any event, the victims are
entitled to have the Court invalidate the
non-prosecution agreement because it is
illegal. Third, entirely apart from
invalidating the agreement the victims are
entitled to seek a wide range of `legal' and
equitable remedies apart from, or in
addition to, invalidation of the illegal
agreement."
9 "Thus, unlike the Walker case where the
agreement was an accident, here the illegal
agreement was a deliberate plan. In such
circumstances, any equitable claim Epstein
has for specific performance of the non-
prosecution agreement disappears."
13 "For all these reasons, the victims will be
able to prove that the Court should set
aside the non-prosecution agreement as the
appropriate remedy in this case."
14 "Here, numerous discrete remedies lie
within the Court's power to award. In
particular, the victims are asking the Court
to award all of the following remedies: . . .
A declaration that the non-prosecution
agreement is accordingly illegal;
A declaration invalidating the illegal non-
prosecution agreement in whole, or in the
alternative, a declaration invalidating the
illegal non-prosecution agreement to the
EFTA01100367
extent that it purports to bar prosecution of
Epstein's crimes against Jane Doe #1 and
Jane Doe #2 ... ."
15-16 "Most important, a declaration that the
non-prosecution agreement is illegal and
void would assist the victims in various
ways (including ways described in the
victims' supplemental sealed pleading on
remedies)."

12 "Of course, the point of the litigation
