They accuse federal prosecutors of deceiving them with “false notification letters.” September: U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra rejects the U.S. Attorney’s Office argument that it was under no obligation to notify victims prior to striking a non- prosecution agreement with Epstein because there were no federal charges filed against him.
