Jay P. Lefkowitz of Kirkland & Ellis LLP writes to U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta addressing questions about the notification to alleged victims under 18 U.S.C. § 3771 and the 18 U.S.C. § 2255 component of the deferred-prosecution agreement involving Jeffrey Epstein. Lefkowitz argues that the alleged victims do not qualify as 'crime victims' under the Attorney General Guidelines and raises concerns about the manageability of the § 2255 component. He requests reconsideration of sending notices to alleged victims and discusses the complexities of resolving the civil component of the case.
