What were the terms of the 2008 non-prosecution agreement?

The Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) reached in 2008 between Jeffrey Epstein and the U.S. Attorney’s Office had several key terms EFTA00229916. The agreement allowed Epstein to plead guilty to two state felony offenses for solicitation of prostitution and procurement of minors for prostitution, in exchange for deferring federal prosecution for a series of federal felony offenses involving the sexual abuse of more than 30 minor girls EFTA00229916. The NPA also set up a procedure for victims of Epstein’s sexual abuse to obtain an attorney to proceed with a civil claim against him, provided they agreed to proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C. § 2255, with presumed damages of at least $150,000 EFTA00229916. Additionally, the agreement included a confidentiality provision, which stated that the agreement would not be made part of any public record, and that the U.S. Attorney’s Office would provide notice to Epstein before disclosing the agreement in response to a Freedom of Information Act request or compulsory process EFTA00207827. The agreement was signed by Epstein, his legal counsel, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office on September 24, 2007 EFTA00207822. Epstein was also required to remain incarcerated twenty-four hours a day for the eighteen-month term of imprisonment EFTA00189912.
