Description
There are hints of possible coercion or leverage being used, particularly in the State Attorney's comment and Epstein's counsel's insistence on controlling communication with the victims. The willingness to meet 'off campus' also raises suspicion.

Notable Quotes 3
Glad we could get this worked out for reasons I won't put in writing. After this is resolved I would love to buy you a cup at Starbucks and have a conversation.
Please do whatever you can to keep this [i.e., the NPA] from becoming public.
Neither federal agents nor anyone from your Office should contact the identified individuals to inform them of the resolution of the case, including appointment of the attorney representative and the settlement process. Not only would that violate the confidentiality of the agreement, but Mr. Epstein also will have no control over what is communicated to the identified individuals at this most critical stage. We believe it is essential that we participate in crafting mutually acceptable communication to the identified individuals.
