Re.: Jeffrey Epstein

Dear Mr. Goldberger:

Since my initial assessment of Mr. Epstein he has been extremely cooperative with all of the services provided to him. He has spent a great deal of time and energy focusing on his behavior and the attitudes, beliefs and expectations that undergird his approach to life. He has examined his priorities and undergone a comprehensive self-exploration on more than one occasion, primarily because of the vast changes that have occurred in his life and the upheaval these events have caused. Throughout it all Mr. Epstein has remained willing to focus on himself and how to turn even the most dire personal circumstances into productive experiences to the fullest extent possible. In my opinion Mr. Epstein has been highly cooperative with and benefited from the treatment provided. Relying upon my 25 years of experience as a forensic psychologist and the plethora of data gathered by me, I state with confidence that Mr. Epstein poses no threat to himself or the community. It is abundantly clear that he has learned his lesson and the probability of his reoffending is negligible. Mr. Epstein poses no threat to either himself or the general community, and he requires no additional intervention or treatment for his no-risk/low-risk status to be maintained into the future.

If any questions remain or I can be of additional assistance, please contact my office.

Sincerely,

Clinical Psychologist

Stephen R. Alexander, Psy.D.
