Secret Negotiations Begin for Non-Prosecution Agreement

U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta's office enters secret negotiations with Epstein's legal team which included Alan Dershowitz and Kenneth Starr. Victims were deliberately not informed as required by the Crime Victims' Rights Act. The resulting Non-Prosecution Agreement was negotiated in secret and shielded Epstein and unnamed co-conspirators from federal prosecution.
