Jeffrey Epstein, through his attorneys, filed a motion to stay or continue a civil action until late 2010, when the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) expires. The motion argues that Epstein is under scrutiny due to a parallel criminal proceeding and the NPA, which lacks clear definitions of breach, placing him at risk of criminal prosecution if he defends himself in civil cases. The motion cites the Fifth Amendment and argues that a stay is necessary to avoid forcing Epstein to choose between self-incrimination and losing the civil case.
