Esq.¶
Dear Ms.¶
As I explained during our telephone conversation last week, I am currently working on an appeal brought by defendant Jeffrey Epstein. Defendant Epstein challenges the designation that he was given under New York State’s Sexual Offender Registration Act. The underlying sexual misconduct at issue was the subject of an investigation and/or prosecution by your Office, as well as the Florida State’s Attorney Office in Palm Beach County.¶
I know that you handled the matter on behalf of your office when the case was presented to the federal grand jury. Those grand jury proceedings would be of assistance to us in fashioning our response on appeal, and I would appreciate it if you would send us a transcript of those proceedings. If we furnish the minutes to the appellate court, we would do under seal for the purpose of an in camera review.¶
Please let me know if you need any further information in order to make the materials available. I appreciate your assistance, and courtesy, in this matter.¶
Yours truly,¶
Deborah L. Morse¶
Assistant District Attorney¶
