This claim was made during a routine status check on a 2008 lawsuit tied to Epstein's plea deal.

This document discusses a new development in a sex scandal involving Jeffrey Epstein, a South Florida billionaire money manager who was accused of running an international underage sex ring.

Dershowitz denies these allegations. The case is currently being heard in U.S. District Court in West Palm Beach, with a focus on the alleged victims' attempt to use the Crime Victims' Rights Act to force the U.S. Department of Justice to prosecute Epstein for various offenses related to sex trafficking and prostitution.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017603.txt
This document discusses whether crime victims have rights during criminal investigations using the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) as a focal point. The issue was brought to light when the Justice Department released a memorandum stating that the CVRA does not grant any rights to crime victims until formal charges are filed, which means many crime victims may never receive their due rights in the criminal justice process. The authors argue that crime victims should have rights during investigations to ensure they are treated fairly and can participate actively in the legal proceedings. The document references a law review article by Paul G. Cassell, Nathanael J. Mitchell, and Bradley J. Edwards on this topic.
