Defendant Epstein has entered into a "non-prosecution agreement" (NPA) with the
federal government for sex crimes against minors. Under that agreement, the federal government has
agreed not to file criminal charges against Epstein for sex crimes committed against approximately thirty
girls, including Jane Doe. In exchange, Epstein agreed to plead guilty to state law criminal charges
involving solicitation of prostitution and procuring a minor for prostitution. The victim of the criminal
charges to which he has pled was not Jane Doe.

Under the NPA, Epstein has agreed not to contest civil liability of any of his
approximately thirty victims provided that the victim agrees to limit themselves to the damages
provided by 18 U.S.C. § 2255 (currently set at $150,000). Jane Doe has not agreed to limit herself to
pursuing only $150,000-in damages. Therefore, the terms of the NPA purport to prevent Jane Doe from
using the NPA to prove liability.
