DATE: 8/23/2010¶ CASE SUMMARY¶This assessment is based upon a review of the inmate’s file which may include but is not limited to the pre-sentence investigation, prior criminal history and post-offense behavior.¶ Jeffrey Epstein is a 57-year-old sex offender who pled guilty in the state of Florida on 6/30/2008 to two felony sex offenses, Procuring a Person Under 18 for Prostitution and Felony Solicitation of Prostitution. He was sentenced to 12 months in jail followed by 12 months of Community Control.¶ It would appear he was convicted in London England of Unlawful Possession of an Offensive Weapon, a Sword Stick, and was sentenced to a Conditional Discharge on 1/4/1973.¶ Regarding the instant offense, Epstein was approximately 51 years of age on or about the year 2005 when he sexually assaulted numerous females between the approximate ages of 14 and 17. Most of the victims were recruited by one of Epstein’s female employees from a local high school in the Palm Beach Florida area. Some of the female participants were age 18 or older. The contact included vaginal intercourse, mouth to vagina sodomy, the touching of the breasts and vagina, placing his fingers inside the vagina and Epstein using a vibrator on the victim’s vaginal area. The available police reports from the Palm Beach Police Department include conversations with numerous female victims who in most cases, did not know Epstein when they were victimized. Most of the females were embarrassed to speak with police regarding what had happened to them while they were at Epstein’s home. Sworn statements were taken from at least five victims and seventeen witnesses concerning massages and unlawful sexual activity that took place at the residence of Jeffrey Epstein. Most of the victims were paid at least $200.00 each time they performed a massage.¶ The victims were told they would be giving Epstein a massage and they were escorted to his bedroom. Most victims noted numerous pictures of naked young females, (some of the photos depicted females who would be eventually interviewed by police), on display throughout the home. The offender would enter the room only wearing a towel. In most cases he would remove the towel and ask the victim to remove her clothing. In some cases he would masturbate into a towel while receiving a massage. In other cases he would touch the breasts or vagina of the victim with his hands or use the vibrator. One 14 year old described how Epstein touched her vaginal area with a vibrator and thereafter, when contacted by law enforcement, she had to identify the offender through the use of a photo array. Another 16-year-old victim described giving Epstein massages for two years and at times, he grabbed her buttocks and caressed her butt cheeks as she gave him a massage. Another 16-year-old described going to the offender’s home at least 100 times. He would touch her breasts, insert his fingers into her vagina and sometimes use the vibrator on her while masturbating. He would also pay this underage victim to have sex with a female friend while he watched. Occasionally, he would join both girls and perform oral sex on both. This 16-year-old victim described for police how one time, Epstein turned her over on the massage table and forcibly raped her. When she screamed, “NO,” he stopped and subsequently apologized for his actions.¶ The offenders conduct while on Community Control will be considered satisfactory and he does not have a history of substance abuse. Based upon his plea of guilty, Epstein will be credited with accepting responsibility for his actions. He will be scored for sexual and deviate sexual intercourse, forcible compulsion, numerous victims and their ages, a continued course of sexual misconduct, a prior misdemeanor conviction in England absent specific information, for his stranger relationship to most victims and for establishing a relationship with these underage girls for the purpose of victimization.¶ The Board acknowledges correspondence received from the offender’s attorney.¶ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
