Re: Jeffrey Epstein¶
Dear Mr. Goldberger:¶
Pursuant to the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida hereby provides you with notice that the United States Attorney has determined, based on reliable evidence, that Jeffrey Epstein has willfully violated one of the conditions of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. Specifically, on May 26, 2009, Jeffrey Epstein, through his counsel, filed a “Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint or, in the Alternative, for a More Definite Statement,” in the matter of Jane Doe No. 101 Jeffrey Epstein , Court File No. 09-CV-80591-KAM. “Jane Doe No. 101” was on the list provided to Mr. Epstein’s attorneys of individuals whom the United States had identified as victims, as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2255, and “Jane Doe No. 101” has elected to proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C. § 2255. By filing the Motion to Dismiss, Mr. Epstein is contesting liability and, therefore, has violated Term 8 of the Non-Prosecution Agreement.¶
Based upon Mr. Epstein’s breach of that term, the U.S. Attorney’s Office has elected to terminate the Non-Prosecution Agreement and to investigate and prosecute Mr. Epstein and others for federal offenses.¶
Sincerely,¶
Jeffrey H. Sloman¶
