From: ' (USAFLS)" <R>USAJOU=FLS/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN To: ' IMICSAFLS)" < >, (USAFLS)" Subject: RE: Jane Doe Letter and DOJ contact Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2016 18:33:13 +0000 Importance: Normal Great. Thank you very much! Assistant U.S. Attorney Southern District of Florida From: (USAFLS) Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2016 2:32 PM To: (USAFLS); Subject: Jane Doe Letter and DO) contact (USAFLS) Attached is a copy of the letter that has now been approved by Willy and to send to petitioners' counsel. , it has been changed from the last draft you saw in two ways. First, the phrase "but none of the notified victims attended" was removed from the end of the first full paragraph on page 3. Second, the last paragraph of the letter was changed to the following based on information we received from and from I admire your interest in seeking to ensure that all victims are treated fairly. Our Office now has an Assistant United States Attorney who serves as the Office's internal Victims' Rights Contact, as well as a robust victim notification system overseen by a Victim Witness Coordinator and six additional staff members, three of whom are dedicated to ensuring that notices are properly delivered to victims. Our Office also currently trains prosecutors who work on child exploitation matters to utilize a victim- centered approach. I personally encourage all members of the Office to go above and beyond the statutory minimum requirements for conferring with and notifying victims. The Justice Department mandates victim rights training for all new criminal prosecutors, and refresher training is also provided via the Department's online distance learning program, during various training programs at the Department's National Advocacy Center in South Carolina, and locally by our Office. I understand that you will be participating in a video-taped session of that training, and I welcome your input. I also look forward to meeting with you again to discuss this case. And ODAG still has not given us the name or position of the person who could meet with Jane Doe #1 and her counsel. EFTA00211345
