Police sifted repeatedly through his trash and conducted surveillance on his five-bedroom, 7½-bath, 7,234-square-foot home on the Intracoastal Waterway. Police said Epstein paid women and girls as young as 14 to give him erotic massages at his home. Police thought there was probable cause to charge him with unlawful sex acts with a minor and lewd and lascivious molestation. Epstein responded by hiring a phalanx of lawyers. One of them, Harvard law professor and author Alan Dershowitz, provided the state attorney's office with information about alcohol and marijuana use by some of the girls who said they were with Epstein. Prosecutors then referred the case to the grand jury ## Teenage girls were recruited to visit Epstein for massages and sex, police say. rather than file charges directly against Epstein. Epstein's attorneys deny he had sex with underage girls. The lawyers say the girls' stories are not credible. But if the court file is any indicator, they've made no effort to depose the girls. Neither prosecutors nor defense attorneys have sought to question Robson, said Dutko, her attorney. She recruited teenage girls to visit Epstein for massages and sexual activity, Palm Beach police said, and presumably would be a key witness. Epstein's attorney Jack Goldberger did not return phone messages. A source close to the case suggested it is languishing pending a decision by the FBI on whether to refer it to federal prosecutors. "We still have a pending case," FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said Monday. State Attorney Krischer did not return a call for comment. His spokesman, Mike Edmondson, declined to say whether federal investigators are delaying the Epstein case. But, he added, "if another agency is looking at something, we wouldn't want to step on their toes." Attorneys say inertia in a criminal case often points to a pending plea deal. "It would not surprise me if something has happened that's not reflected in the court file," said Dutko, such as an agreement that will be formalized later. Defense attorney Marc Shiner said defense attorneys sometimes put off overtly conducting discovery — deposing witnesses, requesting documents and the like — because doing so creates more work for harried prosecutors who may become angry and not offer a plea deal. "Sometimes defense lawyers, knowing that, will try and do discovery without taking depositions," said Shiner, a former prosecutor for 13 years. Instead, they may conduct a below-the-radar probe such as having a private investigator check out leads, he said. Shiner and others say a plea deal for Epstein probably would result in pretrial intervention, in which a defendant may be ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation, counseling or other conditions in return for dropping the charge. Edmondson, spokesman for State Attorney Krischer, said there is no plea offer and no request for the prosecution to show its cards. "To my knowledge, it's never happened before on a filed case," he said. Nearly eight months after Palm Beach tycoon Jeffrey Epstein was charged with felony solicitation of prostitution, there has been no discernible progress in his case. No witnesses deposed. No trial date set. Nothing, save for routine court hearings reset without explanation. "Usually that would be unusual," said criminal defense attorney Glenn Mitch- ell, who has no involvement in the case. "As a general rule, it would be unusual for nothing to have happened," agreed Michael Dutko, a criminal defense attorney in Fort Lauderdale. He represents Haley Robson, 20, of Royal Palm Beach, potentially a key witness in the case. A routine hearing for Epstein was pulled from the court docket last week and reset for May 16. The delays and action could be due to a potential federal probe of Epstein or because a plea deal is in the works, attorneys say. Unusual is the word that best describes everything about the case against Epstein, 54, an enigmatic money manager in New York City who counts Bill Clinton.

The girl, identified only as Jane Doe, was 14 at the time. She was the youngest of several alleged victims of Epstein, according to Palm Beach police, who spent 11 months investigating him. The federal lawsuit, filed by Miami attorney Jeffrey Herman, says "Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for underage minor girls." Epstein "gained access to primarily disadvantaged minor girls in his home, sexually assaulted these girls, and then gave them money." Herman, who specializes in child sex abuse litigation, sued on behalf of the girl, her father and her stepmother on grounds of sexual assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and loss of parental consortium. "Jane Doe ... fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims," the lawsuit says. "We're dismayed by the filing of the lawsuit, but not surprised," said Jack Goldberger, joinee of Epstein's attorneys. "We think this shows what this case is all about: money." He and another Epstein attorney, Lilly Ann Sanchez, launched an immediate counteroffensive, even showing up at Herman's news conference outside the federal courthouse in West Palm Beach. They distributed copies of documents showing that the girl's father and Lawyer Jeffrey Herman (left) conducts a news conference Thursday with the father and stepmother of a girl who claims wealthy money manager Jeffrey Epstein assaulted her in 2005. The parents seek more than \$50 million in their lawsuit. Epstein, who faces a prostitution solicitation charge, is scheduled to enter a plea March 10.

"Jeffrey Epstein did not have sex with this woman," Sanchez said. Herman suggested that Epstein masturbated in front of the alleged victim and used a vibrator on her after she was brought to his home in February 2005. The girl is now 17. "This was a typical 14-year-old girl at the time she met Epstein," Herman said. "What happened here was despicable." The girl told police investigators that she informed Epstein she was 18 when she met him, and she said that was her age on her Web page, Sanchez said. The girl's father and stepmother also attended the news conference. "We're very angry," the father said. "It's not right that this wealthy man can fly into town and destroy my daughter's innocence." He did not take questions. Epstein, 55, is a mysterious New York money manager who owns a Manhattan mansion, as well as homes in Palm Beach, New Mexico and the Virgin Islands. A Palm Beach County grand jury indicted him in July 2006 on one count of felony solicitation of prostitution stemming from alleged incidents between Aug. 1 and Oct. 31, 2005. Epstein is scheduled to enter a plea in the case on March 10, but he has postponed other court dates to resolve the case. His indictment followed an exhaustive investigation by the Palm Beach Police Department, which concluded that Epstein paid underage girls and young women to be brought to his five-bedroom, 7½-bath Intracoastal home for massages and sometimes sex play. Much of the language in the Jane Doe suit mirrors that of police reports in the case. Herman's client said her meeting with Epstein was set up by Haley Robson of Loxahatchee, who was a Palm Beach Community College student at the time. When Jane Doe arrived at Epstein's home, she was escorted by an Epstein assistant, Sarah Kellen, to a room with a massage table, police reports and the lawsuit say. Epstein walked in wear- ing only a towel, removed it and lay naked on the massage table, the lawsuit says. He demanded that Jane Doe remove her clothing, and she did, except for her underwear, the lawsuit alleges. The sexual activity followed, the suit says. Epstein paid her \$300 afterward, and Robson got \$200 for bringing the girl to him, the lawsuit says. Robson and Kellen helped Epstein arrange other liaisons with girls, Palm Beach police concluded. Neither was charged. This is not the first time Epstein has been sued over purported activities with teenage girls. He was sued in New York in October by a woman who says she had sex with Epstein when she was 16 and had sought his help in becoming a model. The lawsuit filed Thursday also alleges that Epstein has assaulted girls on his private island in the Virgin Islands. Herman declined to elaborate on that assertion. Mount Clipping in Space Below) 1B / 5B / The Palm Beach Post Date: 2/1/2008 Title: Part-time Palm Beacher faces another sex suit # Part-time Palm Beacher faces another sex suit WEST PALM BEACH — For the second time in two weeks, part-time Palm Beach resident Jeffrey Epstein has been sued for more than \$50 million by a woman who contends that he engaged in sexual activity with her when she was a minor after enticing her to give him a massage at his home. More lawsuits may follow, Miami lawyer Jeffrey Herman said. "I'm aware of other victims," he said. "I have been contacted." Herman filed a similar lawsuit against Epstein on Jan. 24 on behalf of a girl identified as "Jane Doe," her father and stepmother. The girl, now 17, says she was 14 when she gave Epstein a sexually tinged massage at his home. The latest alleged victim is identified as "Jane Doe No. 2." She went to Epstein's Palm Beach mansion in 2004 or 2005 when she was 16, the lawsuit alleges. She says another girl recruited her to go there to give Epstein a massage. Once there, she alleges, she was led to an upstairs room with a massage table. Epstein came in wearing only a towel around his waist and told her to remove her clothes. She did, except for her bra and panties, according to the lawsuit. Epstein removed his towel, rolled onto his back, masturbated and touched Jane Doe No. 2 sexually, according to the lawsuit filed in federal court in West Palm Beach on Wednesday. Jane Doe No. 2 was paid \$200 afterward, and the girl who recruited her was given See EPSTEIN, 5B ► # 1 plaintiff's parents at odds over suit ► EPSTEIN *from 1B* \$100, according to the lawsuit. The two attended the same Palm Beach County high school. Jane Doe No. 2 is now 19 and living in Virginia, Herman said. Both lawsuits contend that Epstein, 55, targeted "economically disadvantaged girls from western Palm Beach County" who were perceived as less likely to complain to authorities, or whose credibility would be questioned if they did. "Both complaints are full of lies," said Guy Lewis, former U.S. attorney in Miami and one of Epstein's many attorneys. Jane Doe No. 2's lawsuit "is an outrageous, defamatory copycat of the first." There has been a twist in the first Jane Doe lawsuit. Her mother in Georgia contends that her former husband — Jane Doe's father — consulted with neither of them before filing the lawsuit. She is asking a judge to halt the litigation until her daughter turns 18 in May and can make her own decisions. The mother asked in court filings to be added to the lawsuit, saying she "has suffered and will continue to suffer severe mental anguish and pain" as a result of Epstein's "reckless conduct." Jane Doe "just didn't want the lawsuit going forward with the father's involvement," said Ted Leopold, the mother's attorney. "She wanted to pursue it on her own. The father essentially did this on his own." Jane Doe has been estranged from her father since Thanksgiving, Leopold said. "That's why it's even stranger what he did," he said. The girl's mother is asking a judge in their divorce case to find the father in contempt of court for violating their divorce decree by not conferring with her on a matter involving their daughter. "The father has sole custody and has the right to make decisions on his daughter's rights," Herman said. Epstein is a wealthy New York money manager who has counted Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Britain's Prince Andrew among his friends. He was the target of a lengthy investigation into his activities with girls by the Palm Beach Police Department that resulted in his indictment in July 2006 on one count of felony solicitation of prostitution. That case is pending. Epstein has been sued in New York by a woman who says he had sex with her when she was 16. Herman said he has received calls from others making the same assertions in that state. Herman convened a news conference Wednesday on the middle bridge connecting West Palm Beach and Palm Beach. "This is the bridge ... these girls were recruited to come over and give a massage," he said. "When they crossed this bridge, they had no idea what was in store for them. This is a bridge of tears." Herman has described both Jane Does as typical teenage girls Epstein robbed of their innocence. But Harvard University law Professor Alan Dershowitz, another Epstein attorney, provided the state attorney's office with information gleaned from the myspace.com Web site two years ago showing that some of Epstein's alleged victims boasted of their alcohol and marijuana use. Herman said the girls' backgrounds aren't relevant to Epstein's purported behavior. "They don't have the mental capacity to consent to something like this with a grown man," he said. # Girl drops lawsuit against Palm Beach man A girl who says that wealthy money manager and part-time Palm Beach resident Jeffrey Epstein engaged in sexual activity with her when she was 14, has dropped her lawsuit against him because her divorced parents are squabbling over the litigation. "It has to do with the fact that the parents aren't on the same page right now," said Jeffrey Herman, the attorney for the girl, identified in court papers only as Jane Doe. "It's like a sideshow." The girl turns 18 in May and can sue again at that time without her parents' involvement, Herman said. Herman sued Epstein last month on behalf of the girl, her father and her stepmother. Her birth mother, who lives near Atlanta, then asked to intervene on her daughter's behalf and asked that Accused of sexually assaulting then- 14-year-old girl. Doe No. 2 who, like Jane Doe, claims Epstein summoned her to his home for a massage when she was a minor and sexually touched her. Epstein, 55, induced several under-age girls to give him sexual massages the litigation be halted until her daughter turns 18. The mother complained that Jane Doe's father did not consult with her or their daughter before suing Epstein for \$50 million. The lawsuit alleges sexual assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and loss of parental consortium. Herman also represents a Jane Doe at his Intracoastal home, a Palm Beach Police Department investigation concluded. He was indicted in July 2006 on a single count of felony solicitation of prostitution. The case is pending. Jane Doe's parents separated two months after she was born at Good Samaritan Medical Center, according to court records. The couple's subsequent divorce has been contentious. Each has had primary custody of the girl at various times. The father pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges in 2001 and was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison, plus three years' probation. The U.S. attorney overseeing his prosecution was Guy Lewis. Now in private practice, Lewis was hired by Epstein to defend him against the father's lawsuit filed on behalf of Jane Doe. Mount Clipping in Space Below 1B / The Palm Beach Post Date: 2/27/2008 Title: Girl drops lawsuit against Palm Beach man Character or Mount Clipping in Space Below)(Indicate page, name of newspaper, city and state.) 3B / The Palm Beach Post Date: 3/6/2008 Title: Another suit alleges sex during massages # Another suit alleges sex during massage WEST PALM BEACH — Another woman filed a federal lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein on Wednesday, alleging that he turned a massage she gave him at his Palm Beach mansion into a sexual episode when she was 16 years old. Identified as "Jane Doe No. 3," she is seeking more than \$50 million, the same as two other "Jane Does" who filed similar lawsuits in the past six weeks. All three suits were filed by Miami lawyer Jeffrey Herman. Herman subsequently withdrew the first Jane Doe's lawsuit because of squabbling by her parents over the litigation. The girl may refile the suit after she turns 18 in May and can make her own decisions, Herman said. Other alleged victims also have contacted him, Herman said. "I do anticipate more cases," he said. In the latest litigation, Jane Doe No. 3 alleges that she was recruited by a former college student, Haley Robson, to give Epstein a massage for money at his waterfront home late in 2004 or early in 2005. The lawsuit alleges that, while on the massage table, Epstein sexually touched Jane Doe No. 3, then masturbated. She is suing on grounds of sexual assault and intentional infliction of emo- tional distress. "She felt intimidated. She felt scared," Herman said. Jane Doe No. 3 made only the one visit to Epstein's home, he said. "It's just another copycat lawsuit filed by the same lawyer who appears less interested in the truth than in grandstanding with these press conferences," said Jack Goldberger, one of Epstein's attorneys. "We now have sworn testimony that girls lied about their age to Jeffrey Epstein, and they were careful in being convincing that they were over the age of 18." Herman said Robson instructed Jane Doe No. 3, "When he asks how old you are, tell him 18 or 19 years old." But he said it doesn't matter. "They were underage girls," Herman said. "They were sexually assaulted." In addition to the civil lawsuits, Epstein was indicted on a single count of felony solicitation of prostitution in July 2006 after a lengthy Palm Beach Police Department investigation into his activities with underage girls at his home. A resolution has been delayed continually. The case is on Monday's court docket but is expected to be rescheduled once again. "One of the reasons (Jane Doe No. 3) came forward is she is tired of waiting for justice," Herman said.

The girl behind the lawsuit was 14 years old when she contends he engaged in sexual conduct with her after she went to his waterfront home in 2005 to give him a massage. Her lawsuit, filed under the name Jane Doe, seeks unspecified damages from Epstein for sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress. She also sued Epstein, Haley Robson of Loxahatchee and Sarah Kellen of New York City on grounds of conspiracy and civil racketeering. "We just want a full measure of justice for this girl," said her attorney, Ted Leopold. Robson, who attended Palm Beach Community College, was paid by Epstein to bring girls to his mansion for massages and more, according to Palm Beach police. "I'm like a Heidi Fleiss," they said she told them. Her attorney could not be reached immediately for comment. Kellen was an Epstein personal assistant who arranged the encounters, even escorting the girls to his massage room, police alleged. "These two conspired with him to help with the criminal enterprise," Leopold said. Jane Doe, through her father and stepmother, filed a federal lawsuit against Epstein in January. She dismissed it after her mother said she wasn't consulted about the litigation and sought to intervene. The mother is acting on her daughter's behalf in the latest lawsuit. Epstein's lawyer has denied the girl's allegations and said her family is simply attempting to get money from a very rich man. Epstein, 55, is a Manhattan money manager who has homes there, in New Mexico and the Virgin Islands, in addition to his \$8.5 million Palm Beach mansion. Two other Jane Does have sued Epstein in federal court this year, making similar allegations to those of the first Jane Doe. Those cases remain active. Also pending against Epstein in state court is a felony charge of solicitation of prostitution arising from the same alleged incidents with several girls. That case is set for trial in July, two years after he was indicted. Jane Doe's new lawsuit, filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, is the most explicit in detailing Epstein's alleged misconduct. It is the only suit to include Robson and Kellen as defendants, and the only one to make conspiracy and racketeering allegations. Jane Doe will turn 18 in May. She lives with other family members in Palm Beach County, is nearing graduation from high school and is working part time, Leopold said.

Epstein, 55, pleaded guilty Monday to felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution. After serving 18 months in jail, he will be under house arrest for a year. And he will have a lifelong obligation to register as a sex offender. He must submit to an HIV test within 48 hours, with the results being provided to his victims or their parents. As part of the plea deal, federal investigators agreed to drop their investigation of Epstein, which they had taken to a grand jury, two law enforcement sources said. Epstein was indicted two years ago after an 11-month investigation by Palm Beach police. They received a complaint from a relative of a 14-year-old girl who had given Epstein a naked massage at his five-bedroom, 7,234-square-foot, \$8.5 million Intracoastal home. Police concluded that there See EPSTEIN, 8A ► In Space Below) 1A/8A The Palm Beach Post Date: 7/1/2008 Title: Palm Beacher pleads in sex case Character or UMA SANGHVI/Staff Photographer Investment banker Jeffrey Epstein waits in court Monday before his guilty plea. *u* 03956-1078 31E-MM-108062-165 # Epstein faces civil lawsuits; more clients may be added ## ► EPSTEIN from 1A were several other girls brought in 2004 and 2005 to an upstairs room at the home for similar massages and sexual touching. The indictment charged Epstein only with felony solicitation of prostitution. The state attorney's office later added the charge of procuring underage girls for that purpose. Prosecutor Lanna Belohlavek said of the plea: "I took into consideration the length the trial would have been and witnesses having to testify" about sometimes embarrassing incidents. Epstein may have made a serious mistake soon after he was charged. He rejected an offer to plead guilty to one count of persuasions. **A modern count of Hearing Aids for Practice You on Self** The state attorney's office said that the plea was a serious mistake and that the count of persuasions was a serious mistake. ### 'It's validation of what we're saying in the civil cases.' JEFFREY HERMAN Attorney who represents alleged victims, commenting on the plea The judge was skeptical but agreed to it. Epstein's legal woes don't end with Monday's plea. There are four pending federal civil lawsuits and one in state court related to his behavior. At least one woman has sued him in New York, where he owns a 51,000-square-foot Manhattan mansion. "It's validation of what we're saying in the civil cases," said Miami attorney Jeffrey Herman, who represents the alleged victims in the federal lawsuits. West Palm Beach attorney Ted Leopold represents one alleged victim in a civil suit in state court. He said he anticipates amending that lawsuit to add "a few other clients" as well. In the criminal case, police went so far as to scour Epstein's trash and conduct surveillance at Palm Beach International Airport, where they watched for his private jet so they would know when he was in town. They concluded that Epstein paid girls \$200 to \$300 each after the massage sessions. "I'm like a Heidi Fleiss," Haley Robson, now 22, told police about her efforts in recruiting girls for Epstein. There was probable cause to charge Epstein with unlawful sex acts with a minor and lewd and lascivious molestation, police concluded. The state attorney's office said questions about the girls' credibility led it to take the unprecedented step of presenting the evidence against Epstein to a grand jury, rather than directly charging him. Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter was furious with State Attorney Barry Krischer, saying in a May 2006 letter that the prosecutor should disqualify himself. "I continue to find your office's treatment of these cases highly unusual," he wrote. He then asked for and got a federal investigation. Epstein hired a phalanx of high-priced lawyers—including Harvard law professor and author Alan Dershowitz—and public relations people who questioned Reiter's competence and the victims' truthfulness. In addition to mansions in Palm Beach and Manhattan, Epstein owns homes in New Mexico and the Virgin Islands. He's a frequent contributor to Democratic Party candidates. He also donated \$30 million to Harvard in 2003. Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer returned a \$50,000 campaign contribution from Epstein after his indictment, then resigned this year during his own sex scandal. And the same Palm Beach Police Department that vigorously investigated Epstein returned his \$90,000 donation for the purchase of a firearms simulator. Staff writer Eliot Kleinberg and staff researcher Michelle Quigley contributed to this story. UMA SANGHW/Staff Photographer Jeffrey Epstein (left) appears in court Monday. Soon after he was charged two years ago, Epstein rejected a deal that would have given him five years' probation and no criminal record, documents show. # Rich man fought the law — and he mostly won Two years after a grand jury indicted him on a felony charge of solicitation of prostitution, Jeffrey Epstein finally admitted that he hired a teenage girl to his \$8.5 million, 13,000-square-foot Palm Beach mansion for sex. A week ago, the 55-year-old investment banker began serving 18 months in jail. But that plea deal — guilty of felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution — does not account for all five of the girls, one as young as 14, who alleged that Epstein sexually abused them. And why is Epstein serving his term in the overcrowded Palm Beach County Jail and not a state prison, where inmates are sent if their sentences are longer than one year? The slow, dissatisfying resolution of the case sends a message to the public that there's a different system of justice for the wealthy who hire high-powered lawyers. Epstein's legal team included West Palm Beach defense attorney Jack Goldberger, Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz, who defended O.J. Simpson against murder charges, and Kenneth Starr, the prosecutor who pursued then-President Bill Clinton for lying about sex with young women. Palm Beach police spent 11 months investigating Epstein before State Attorney Barry Krischer sent the case to a grand jury, instead of charging Epstein so the man who once boasted of accepting only billionaire clients could face a trial. The police had taken a high school transcript, class schedules and phone messages from Epstein's ## *Why is Jeffrey Epstein in jail, and not prison?* home that showed he knew the girls were underage. Yet Mr. Krischer was more swayed by Epstein's lawyers, who attempted to impugn the girls' character by showing they had chatted on myspace.com about smoking marijuana and drinking. He should have let a jury decide whether the victims — and Epstein — were credible. Ultimately, one charge against Epstein finally reflected the age of one victim, and the plea agreement left Epstein labeled a sex offender. With that additional charge, if Epstein had been convicted at a trial, he could have been sentenced to anything from probation to 15 years in prison, Assistant State Attorney Lanna Belohlavek said, adding that the recommended guideline sentence was 21 months. Epstein also won't have to certify to the court that he is receiving counseling, typically required of sex offenders, because he has a private psychiatrist. But without court supervision, who will ensure Epstein is in fact being treated? The plea deal also drops a federal investigation of Epstein. If a federal investigation was warranted, how does dropping it before completion benefit the public? Epstein preyed on girls and denied it. For three years, his wealth and the influence of his lawyers bought him the protection the state attorney owed to the victims.

Their lawyer, Brad Edwards, has asked US District Judge Kenneth Marra to toss the deal - which included an agreement that Epstein's wouldn't face federal prosecution, which could have led to a longer jail term - because they weren't consulted on it. Marra has asked for more information before he rules. Epstein's rep, Howard Ruben stein, said, "The lawsuit has absolutely no merit. They're just looking for money. These women have lied repeatedly, and in no way shape or form were they victims. They were at his place freely and voluntarily. And one of them showed Epstein a fake ID."

By MICHELE DARGAN Palm Beach Daily News Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who's serving 18 months in jail for soliciting an underage girl for prostitution, is allowed to leave the Palm Beach County Stockade six days a week on a work-release program. Teri Barbera, spokeswoman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, confirmed that Epstein, 55, has been in the work-release program since Oct. 10. "He works six days a week: Friday through Wednesday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.," Barbera said via e-mail. "(He) works at his local West Palm Beach Palm Beacher serving 18 months in stockade for soliciting underage girl for prostitution. office, monitored on an active GPS system (he wears an ankle bracelet). Mr. Epstein hires a permit deputy, at his expense, for his own security at his workplace during the time he is out." Miami attorney Jeffrey Herman represents six young women who've sued Epstein, claiming he sexually abused them at his Palm Beach home when they were minors. Herman said he received a letter about the work-release program from the U.S. Attorney's Office within the past few days. But Herman says Epstein had been out on work-release for several weeks before the notification. "My clients expressed shock and disappointment," Herman said. "I find it incredible that he's on work-release in the community and my clients aren't notified of this and we get this letter weeks after the fact." Jack Goldberger, Epstein's criminal attorney, said the arrangement is not unusual. "He goes to work every single day and goes back to jail at night, just like everybody else (in the program)," Goldberger said. Epstein pleaded guilty June 30 to two felony counts: soliciting prostitution and procuring a person under 18 for prostitution. As part of the plea agreement, Epstein must serve one year of house arrest and register as a lifelong sex offender. Date: 10/17/2007 Edition: PALM BEACH POST # Woman sues billionaire investor, says they had sex when she was 16 Title: Woman sues billionaire investor says they had sex when she was 16 ### The Associated Press NEW YORK — A billionaire investor, already facing jail in Palm Beach County on charges of soliciting underage prostitutes, is being sued by a young woman who says he had sex with her when she was 16 and had sought his help becoming a model. The lawsuit, filed late Tuesday in Manhattan's state Supreme Court, says financier Jeffrey Epstein had the teen perform a sex act when she brought photographs of herself for him to review in his Upper East Side mansion sometime in 2000. Epstein Epstein, 54, a money manager, told the teen he managed finances for Victoria's Secret and "could get you into the catalog" if she were "nice" to him, court papers say. The papers say being "nice" included massages and other favors. When the girl told Epstein, "I am 16 years old and just want to model," he replied, "Don't worry, I won't tell anybody," court papers say. Epstein, said by London's Mail on Sunday to be a close friend of England's Prince Andrew, has been indicted in Palm Beach on charges of soliciting underage prostitutes. That case is pending. The girl visited Epstein "several times over the several months and engaged in bizarre and unnatural sex acts" while she was a minor, the lawsuit says. Epstein "repeatedly requested that (the girl) return with her 14-, 15-, and 16-year-old girlfriends, stating, 'Come by with your friends your age next time. Don't bring Sherrie (a mutual friend in her 40s). I love girls your age.'" The young woman, now 23, kept returning to Epstein because she has "mental issues," said her lawyer, William J. Unroch. He refused to elaborate, but court papers say she was "disabled as a result of severe mental disease and defect." Epstein's lawyer in New York, Gerald Lefcourt, said, "The girl has admitted she is insane, but she can read a newspaper and recognize the word 'rich.'" Lefcourt also said the statute of limitations has expired for the woman's case criminally and civilly, and will almost certainly be dismissed. He refused to comment on Epstein's Florida charges. Meanwhile, Unroch, 57, also acknowledged that his client was living with him and was at the center of a \$10 million lawsuit he filed last year against a neighbor who said he was having sex with underage girls. That case is pending. "What she was doing at 22 is irrelevant to what happened to her when she was 16," Unroch said Wednesday. He went on the say he hoped Epstein would agree to "do right" by his client and resolve the case out of court. 31E-MM-108062 enl Mount Clipping in Space Below)(Indicate page, name of newspaper, city and state.)Palm Beach Post.comPalm Beach, FLDate: 4/10/2009Edition:Title: Suit accuses jailed tycoon of sex crime # Suit accuses jailed tycoon of sex crime *Jeffrey Epstein is in the county stockade.* *'Palm Beach Post Staff Writer* WEST PALM BEACH — The line of civil lawsuits against billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein has grown again, with the filing of at least the 12th claim by a young woman who also says she was lured to his Palm Beach mansion as a teen and sexually abused. Prominent Miami attorney Robert Josefsberg filed the most recent federal lawsuit last week, on behalf of the Jane Doe 101 who allegedly visited Epstein a few times while 17 years old and was paid \$200 at least once for her time there, according to the complaint. The lawsuit mirrors facts alleged in other suits: that Epstein had a predilection for teenage girls, identified poor, vulnerable ones and lured them to his home via other young women. The teens describe ascending a staircase lined with nude photographs of young girls and to the spa room where Epstein would appear in a small towel. Miami attorney Adam Horowitz, who represents six other Jane Does, said Monday that the cases are still in the "discovery" process, with plaintiffs requesting from Epstein phone records, pictures, videos. Horowitz said Epstein is refusing to turn over the materials, citing a Fifth Amendment right not to do so. "Stonewalling and delaying," Horowitz said. "I'm not surprised." Horowitz said he has asked U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra to order Epstein to turn over the information. A local attorney for Epstein, Jack Goldberger, did not respond to a request seeking comment. Epstein was jailed in July 2008 following a plea deal where he was sentenced to 18 months in jail for solicitation of prostitution and procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution and must register as a sex offender. He is serving his sentence at the Palm Beach County Stockade, according to jail records, and is due out in September. @ susan\_spencer\_wendel @pbpost.com ## Jailed Palm Beacher See past coverage PalmBeachPost.com/epstein CharacterorClassification: 31D-MM-108062Submitting Office: MMIndexing:Mount Clipping in Space Below) # Women want sex plea deal unsealed *Their attorneys will ask a judge to open Jeffrey Epstein's records.* WEST PALM BEACH — When wealthy money manager Jeffrey Epstein of Palm Beach pleaded guilty last year to procuring teens for prostitution, his case detoured around local and state rules regarding the sealing of court documents. At a plea conference on the state charges, a judge, a defense lawyer and a prosecutor huddled at the bench and decided that a deal Epstein had struck with federal prosecutors to avoid charges should be sealed, according to a transcript of the hearing. And so it was. But Florida rules of judicial administration, as well as rules of the Palm Beach County court system, require public notification that a court document has been or will be sealed, meaning kept from public view.

Yet no notification or reason occurred in Epstein's case, according to court records. Epstein's own attorneys, in federal filings, have referred to his confidential deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. attorney's office, struck in September 2007, as "unprecedented" and "highly unusual." And it was "a significant inducement" for Epstein to accept the state's deal, observed the state judge who accepted his plea, County Judge Deborah Dale Pucillo. Epstein now faces at least a dozen civil lawsuits in federal and state courts filed by young women who said they had sex with him and now are seeking damages. Attorneys for some of those women want his agreement with federal prosecutors unsealed and will ask Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath to do so today. "It is against public policy for these documents to be have been sealed and hidden from public scrutiny. As a member of the public, E.W. has a right to have these documents unsealed," wrote former Circuit Judge Bill Berger, now in private practice and representing one of the women. *The Palm Beach Post* also will ask Colbath to unseal the agreement. Post attorney Deanna Shullman will argue that the public has a right to know the specifics of Epstein's deal. According to various media accounts, Epstein moved in circles that included President Clinton, Donald Trump and Prince Andrew. "International Moneyman of Mystery," declared a 2002 *New York* magazine profile of Epstein. Epstein, 56, is in the Palm Beach County Stockade, serving an 18-month sentence after pleading guilty nearly a year ago to felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring teenagers for prostitution. He is allowed out from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., escorted by a deputy, said Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Teri Barbera. During a Palm Beach Police Department investigation, five victims and 17 witnesses gave statements. They told of young women brought by his assistants to Epstein's mansion on El Brillo Way for massages and sexual activity, and then being paid afterward. At Epstein's plea conference last year, his attorney, Jack Goldberger, and then-Assistant State At- torney Lanna Belohlavek approached Pucillo in a sidebar conference. Pucillo, who had left the bench nine years earlier, was filling in temporarily as a senior judge. According to a transcript, Goldberger told Pucillo that Epstein had entered a confidential agreement with the U.S. attorney's office in which federal prosecutors brokered not pursuing charges against him if he pleaded guilty in state court. Pucillo then said she wanted a sealed copy of the agreement filed in his case, and Goldberger concurred that he wanted it sealed. Belohlavek later signed off on it. The Florida Supreme Court has expressed "serious concern" and launched an all-out inquiry into sealing procedures across the state following media reports in 2006 of entire cases being sealed and disappearing from court records. "The public's constitutional right of access to court records must remain inviolate, and this court is fully committed to safeguarding this right," justices wrote in their final report. Epstein's office on Tuesday referred any questions to Goldberger, who declined to comment. Pucillo also has declined to comment. @susan\_spencer\_wendel@pbpost.com # FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION Date: 01/08/2010 b6 1, -2 b7C 1, -2 PB-1, Palm Beach County RA Case ID #: 31E-MM-108062✓ Synopsis: To request transfer of above captioned case due to agent's transfer to another squad.

Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Donald Hafele said the records could help Epstein rebut the women's claims that they suffered psychological ills after being paid to give him sexually-charged massages at his Palm Beach mansion when they were as young as 14. Hafele told Epstein's attorneys they couldn't go on a fishing expedition. The medical records, he said, can't be sought until the women are asked whether they have ever had an abortion, how many and where. Further, he said, the records would not be The judge says the records would not be made public. made public and might not be admissible during trial. But, he said, since the women claim Epstein, now 57, is responsible for their emotional distress, his attorneys can explore the impact of other events. Medical records; Hafele said, are a better source of information than a person's memory. Attorney Louis Silver, who represents the Presidential Women's Health Center, a West Palm Beach clinic where abortions are performed, warned Hafele that he was stepping on shaky constitutional grounds. "These records are protected by our constitutional right of privacy," he said, referring to the Florida Constitution. After the hearing, Silver said an appeal won't be necessary until Epstein at- torneys seek the records. In another ruling Wednesday, Hafele also said that videos from depositions in the state cases can't be released without a court order. The ruling came after Epstein attorney Robert Critton complained that a video of Epstein being asked whether he had an "egg-shaped" penis became a youtube.com sensation. It first appeared on *The Palm Beach Post* Web site. Critton blamed attorney Spencer Kuvin for releasing it. Kuvin said it was public record. The civil suits began mounting after Epstein agreed to plead guilty to two state charges: procuring a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution. He served 13 months of an 18-month sentence. As part of the deal brokered with federal prosecutors, he agreed not to contest the accusations in the civil lawsuits. He can argue the women don't deserve the millions they are seeking. © jane\_musgrave@pbpost.com idicate page, name of webspaper, city and state.) # Ex-Epstein worker faces obstruction charges ate: 1/20/2010 Edition: MORNING PALM BCH POST Title: Ex-Epstein Faces obstruction charges Character: or Classification: 3/E-MM-10806 *The FBI says he tried to sell information to an agent.* Papers listed Palm Beach sex offender's victims **WEST PALM BEACH** — A former employee of sex-scandal-plagued Jeffrey Epstein has been charged with obstruction of justice after the employee allegedly withheld critical information from federal agents — an expansive list of Epstein victims and witnesses — as investigators probed the Palm Beach financier for sexual exploitation of minors. According to 2r. FBI agent's affidavit, Alfredo Rodriguez offered to later sell the information for \$50,000 — Rodriguez calling it the "Holy Grail" or "Golden Nugget" — to a government witness, who is not named in the affidavit. The affidavit does not refer to Epstein by name, either. In early November, an undercover FBI agent was sent ir to make the buy from Rodriguez. Rodriguez, born in 1951, had told police that he worked for Epstein as a butler, chauffeur, chef and houseman; sometimes picking up and cleaning sex toys left behind after Epstein finished his encounters with the underage girls. According to the affidavit, Rodriguez met the under- cover agent and produced a small bound book and several sheets of legal paper, which he told the agent he had taken from Epstein's home while employed there in 2004 and 2005. Rodriguez then began counting his \$50,000 payoff. He was stopped, detained on the spot and questioned by agents, according to the See EPSTEIN, 5B # Information could have altered case ## ► EPSTEIN from 1B affidavit. Rodriguez told agents of witnessing nude girls whom he believed to be underage at Epstein's pool area, of knowing that his former employer was having sex with underage girls, and of viewing underage pornography on computers in Epstein's home. Special Agent Christina Pryor wrote that later review of the papers and book Rodriguez handed over revealed information "that would have been extremely useful in investigating and prosecuting the case, including names and contact information of material witnesses and additional victims." "Had those items been produced in response to inquiries of state law enforcement officers or the Special Agents, their contents would have been presented to the federal grand jury," Pryor wrote. The information allegedly withheld by Rodriguez may have been a tipping point in the controversial probe of Epstein. Federal prosecutors ended up striking an extraordinary deal with Epstein and his top-flight lawyers; agreeing to recall grand jury subpoenas if Epstein pleaded guilty to prostitution-related felonies in state court, which he ultimately did. Epstein received an 18-month jail sentence. He served 13 months and was allowed to leave the jail most waking hours of the day. An attorney for Rodriguez, Assistant Federal Public Defender Dave Brannon, declined to comment on his behalf. An unnamed government witness mentioned in the affidavit is likely one of the attorneys representing women in a gaggle of current civil lawsuits against Epstein. The affidavit outlines how the unnamed witness had deposed Rodriguez, who denied having documents, then received a call from Rodriguez later offering to sell for \$50,000 the "Holy Grail." "Rodriguez explained that the information contained hundreds of additional victims and their phone numbers from diverse geographic locations including New York, New Mexico and Paris," according to the affidavit. Rodriguez is scheduled to be arraigned in federal court Monday. Also in the affidavit are the reasons Rodriguez cited to the unnamed witness for why he withheld the lists from investigators: He considered it his property and should be compensated for it, and he feared the target of the federal investigation, Epstein, would make him disappear or otherwise harm him. © SUSAN SPENCER-WENDEL prepared com 3/E-MM-10806 2/24 PRINT BEAD THIS SKIP THAT # BLOGS & STORIES ## The Billionaire Pedophile's Sex Den by *Conchita Sarnoff* July 22, 2010 | 11:46pm **The Daily Beast reveals new details about the twisted sex life of Jeffrey Epstein and his penchant for underage girls.

They insist that his sexual habits, although obsessive and unusual, were mostly legal and essentially harmless. As the police records attest, the girls brought to El Brillo Way were routinely told they could "say no" at any time during a massage as Epstein escalated contact in a step-by-step assault that was remarkably similar in every victim's statement: First she would be asked to remove her shirt, then her pants. He would attempt to fondle her buttocks and breasts as he masturbated, then bring out a large vibrator. There was sometimes digital penetration, and the more willing girls were lured into full-blown sexual relations with both Epstein and Nadia Marcinkova, who was referred to in press accounts and police reports as Epstein's live-in "sex slave." A former bookkeeper in the Miami office, who also arranged visas for girls traveling to the U.S., confirmed that MC2 girls became frequent guests on Epstein's private jets. It's true that some underage girls may have lied about their age, and some came to the house voluntarily several times—although, according to Florida statutes, none of that has any bearing on the criminality of the contact, particularly if the girl was 16 or younger. But what is particularly disturbing about this case—judging by arrangements at the Palm Beach house—is that Epstein, a billionaire hedge-fund manager, organized his life around this sexual compulsion in an open and methodical way that suggests he felt he was beyond the law. • Conchita Sarnoff: Billionaire Pedophile Goes Free According to police who executed a search warrant, the house was decorated with large, framed photos of nude young girls, and similar images were found stashed in an armoire and on the computers seized at the house (although police found only bare cables where other computers had been). Some bathrooms were stocked with soap in the shape of sex organs, and various sex toys, such as a "twin torpedo" vibrator and creams and lubricants available at erotic specialty shops, were stowed near the massage tables set up in several rooms upstairs. Epstein also enlisted his staff in the predatory activity, and four—Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, and Marcinkova—figured in the FBI investigation. The Non Prosecution Agreement stipulated that they would not be charged. According to police reports and sworn statements in the civil suits, all four women, among their other duties, worked to ensure that an appointment book for twice- or thrice-daily "massages" was stocked with fresh recruits. Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late Czechoslovakian-born press baron Robert Maxwell, who was for many years Epstein's live-in partner, also recruited young girls. Since his 13-month sentence for soliciting prostitution with a minor, Epstein has settled more than a dozen lawsuits brought by underage girls. Seven victims reached a last-minute deal last week, days before a scheduled trial; each received well over \$1 million—an amount that will hardly dent Epstein's \$2 billion net worth. The victims told police they waited in the kitchen to be called upstairs for a massage, and the house chef often gave them a bite to eat. House manager Alfredo Rodriguez said in his sworn statement that a maid named Lupita, who was a devout Catholic, wept when she complained to him about cleaning up after the massage sessions, picking up soiled towels and putting away the sex toys. And she was upset that a photo of Epstein with the pope hung next to one of him with a young girl. Ironically, Rodriguez, who ran the house on El Brillo Way in 2004 and 2005, ended up being sentenced to more jail time than his boss as a result of the complex investigation into Epstein's activities. He was fired, he says, for inadvertently drawing police attention to one of the girls when she arrived at the house unannounced to collect money. He saw an unfamiliar "beater" in the driveway one evening and called 911. When he left Epstein's employ, Rodriguez took away some notes and emails about massage appointments as "protection" against his own prosecution, and failed to produce them during the Palm Beach Police Department's initial investigation. Unable to get work as a house manager elsewhere in South Florida, he says, Rodriguez later tried to sell this "golden nugget"—his term—for \$50,000, to be used in the victims' civil suits. Unfortunately, he made the offer to an undercover cop, and was subsequently charged with "obstruction of official proceedings" for withholding information that could have advanced the criminal investigation of Epstein—which by that point had been settled in a plea deal. Rodriguez was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison (Epstein was allowed to serve 13 months in the Palm Beach county jail), and now awaits an additional sentence on Aug. 24 in federal court in Miami for transporting firearms, another deal he says he made to pay the bills after he lost his job. In a deposition given for the civil suits, Rodriguez testified that he was instructed to always have \$2,000 in cash on hand, so that he could pay both the girls who gave massages and recruiters such as Haley Robson who brought them to the house. He also testified that Epstein made large contributions to the Palm Beach Police Department, and in return was given PBPD baseball hats to put on the dashboard of his various cars to avoid being stopped or ticketed by local police. Retired Police Chief Michael Reiter, in his own deposition, acknowledged that, in addition to earlier donations to the police department (which are fairly common in well-heeled Palm Beach), Epstein had recently given the department \$100,000 for some sophisticated equipment. The police were still researching the purchase when Epstein came under suspicion, and Reiter ordered the money returned. (Guy Frostin, one of Epstein's local attorneys, told police that Epstein also gave \$100,000 to the Florida Ballet for massages, because he was "very passionate" about massages being "therapeutically and spiritually" beneficial. Yet victims told police they had no massage training.) Perhaps most disturbing, in terms of possible sex trafficking, was Epstein's relationship with Jean Luc Brunel, owner of the MC2 modeling agency. According to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, an alleged victim said that Epstein, Maxwell, Brunel, Rodriguez, and Marcinkova "deliberately engaged in a pattern of racketeering that involved luring minor children through MC2, mostly girls under the age of 17, to engage in sexual play for money." (Which would amount to trafficking.) Brunel is a 50-plus French playboy who was formerly part owner of Karin, a Paris-based modeling agency. He lives in New York and South Beach, Florida, and owns 85 percent of MC2, which has offices in New York, Miami, and Tel Aviv. (The remaining 15 percent is owned by his partner, Jeff Fuller.) Brunel has been observed as a house guest at Epstein's Palm Beach home and may well have had contact with him also in New York, where Epstein owns a lavish home—the city's largest private residence—and in Paris, where Epstein keeps an apartment on elegant Ave. Foch. CBS reporter Craig Pyes, who investigated MC2 for a 60 Minutes broadcast several years ago, is quoted in Michael Gross' book about the modeling industry, *Bad and Beautiful*. Pyes told the author that Brunel "ranks among the sleaziest people in the fashion industry. We're talking about a conveyor belt, not a casting couch. Hundreds of girls were not only harassed but molested." Now The Daily Beast has learned that Epstein had made a \$1 million wire transfer to Brunel's offshore bank account in September 2004, just as he was setting up MC2. Whether this was a gift or a loan or a backdoor investment in the new venture is unknown. A French citizen who managed to avoid giving evidence in the Epstein investigation, Brunel declined to comment on any of this, as does Fuller. Asked in April of Brunel's activities, Epstein said "I'm 100 percent convinced that he doesn't traffic children." (Brunel has never been charged.) An American fashion designer who booked her girls through MC2 says they were very young and very beautiful; many were from Eastern Europe and spoke little English. A former bookkeeper in the agency's Miami office, who also arranged visas for girls traveling to the U.S., confirmed that MC2 girls became frequent guests on Epstein's private jets. Pilot logs obtained in the civil suits show that some of the named plaintiffs were on the flight manifests. Other times, the pilot would just list the other passengers plus "female."

After months of reporting, The Daily Beast's Conchita Sarnoff reveals exclusive details of the investigation and the legal wrangling that saved him from a long prison term. She reports: - Palm Beach's police chief objected to Epstein's "special treatment" and gave The Daily Beast an exclusive look at his nine-hour deposition about the investigation. - Earlier versions of the U.S attorney's charges, including a sealed 53-page indictment, could have landed Epstein in prison for 20 years. - Victims alleged that Epstein molested underage girls from South America, Europe, and the former Soviet republics, including three 12-year-old girls brought over from France as a birthday gift. - The victims also alleged trips out of state and abroad on Epstein's private jets, which would be evidence of sex trafficking—a much more serious federal crime than the state charges Epstein was convicted of. - Epstein's attorneys investigated members of the Palm Beach Police Department, while others ordered private investigators to follow and intimidate the victims' families; one even posed as a police officer. - Then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales told The Daily Beast that he "would have instructed the Justice Department to pursue justice without making a political mess." Film director Roman Polanski is not the only convicted pedophile to walk free this month and return to a life of privilege. On Wednesday, hedge fund manager Jeffrey Epstein completes his one-year house arrest in Palm Beach, which has been even less arduous than Polanski's time at a Swiss ski chalet. During Epstein's term of "house arrest," he made several trips each month to his New York home and his private Caribbean island. In the earlier stage of his sentence for soliciting prostitution with a minor—13 months in the Palm Beach Stockade—he was allowed out to his office each day. Meanwhile, Epstein has settled more than a dozen lawsuits brought by the underage girls who were recruited to perform "massages" at his Palm Beach mansion. Seven victims reached a last-minute deal last week, days before a scheduled trial; each received well over \$1 million—an amount that will hardly dent Epstein's \$2 billion net worth. With that, the known victims of Epstein's sexual compulsion have been officially silenced, and the case against him is closed unless new ones come forward. According to banking sources, he has been moving assets out of the U.S. and may well follow Polanski into a luxurious exile. Watch Jeffrey Epstein Storm Out of a Deposition When Asked About His Penis But the question remains: Did Epstein's wealth and social connections—former President Bill Clinton; Prince Andrew; former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak; New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson; and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers were just a few of the prominent passengers on his private jets—allow him to receive only a slap on the wrist for crimes that carry a mandatory 20-year sentence? Was he able, with his limitless assets and heavy-hitting lawyers—Alan Dershowitz, Gerald Lefcourt, Roy Black, Kenneth Starr, Guy Lewis, and Martin Weinberger among them—to escape equal justice? Michael Reiter, the former Palm Beach police chief, certainly thinks so. He gave The Daily Beast exclusive access to the transcript of his nine-hour deposition for the victims' civil suits, in which he explained how the case against Epstein was minimized by the State Attorney's Office, then bargained down by the U.S. Department of Justice, all in an atmosphere of hardball legal tactics and social pressures so intense that Reiter became estranged from several colleagues. At the time, Reiter, who retired in 2009 and now runs his own security firm, objected both to Epstein's plea agreement and to the flexible terms of his incarceration in the county jail rather than state prison. Asked during the deposition whether he thought Epstein received special treatment, he answered "yes." In March 2005, Reiter's department, acting on a complaint from the Florida parents of a 14-year-old girl, launched an investigation that would eventually uncover a pattern of predatory behavior stretching back years and spanning several continents, knowingly enabled by Epstein's associates and employees. Two or three times a day, whenever Epstein was in Palm Beach, a teenage girl would be brought to the mansion on El Brillo Way. ("The younger the better," he instructed Haley Robson, a local teenager who was paid to bring other girls to the house, and who declared, on a police tape, that she was "like a Heidi Fleiss," the infamous California madam.) Advised that she would be giving a "massage," the girl was then pressured to remove her clothes, submit to fondling and a large vibrator, and sometimes lured into more invasive sexual contact. Each girl was paid \$200 or more, depending on how far things went, by house manager Alfredo Rodriguez, who was instructed always to have \$2,000 cash on hand. The Palm Beach Police Department identified 17 local girls who had contact with Epstein before the age of consent; the youngest was 14, and many were younger than 16. And that was just at one of Epstein's many homes around the world—he also owns property in New York, Santa Fe, Paris, London, and the Caribbean. Subsequent investigation by the FBI, reaching as far back as 2001, identified roughly 40 victims, not counting Nadia Marcinkova, whom Epstein referred to as his "Yugoslavian sex slave" because he had imported her from the Balkans at age 14. Now 24, Marcinkova became a member of the household and is alleged to have participated in the sexual contact with underage girls. Epstein quickly got wind of the investigation, and progress on the case got messy very quickly. He hired a squad of lawyers and private investigators and dispatched influential friends to pressure the police into backing off. Instead, local detectives pressed on and brought the matter to the attention of the FBI. The detectives asked their federal colleagues whether the fact that some victims appeared to have traveled out of state on Epstein's planes—plus the use of interstate phone service to arrange assignations—might be violations of the federal 2000 Trafficking Victims Protection Act, which carries a minimum sentence of 20 years. (Florida enacted the federal TVPA in 2002.) So when State Attorney Barry Krischer, who also ran Florida's Crimes Against Children Unit, proved reluctant to mount a vigorous prosecution of Epstein, saying the local victims were not credible witnesses, Chief Reiter wrote the attorney a letter complaining of the state's "highly unusual" conduct and asking him to remove himself from the case. He did not, and the evidence his office presented to a state grand jury produced only a single count of soliciting prostitution. (Krischer has since refired and would not comment for this article.) The day after that indictment was returned, Reiter was relieved to have the FBI step in and take over the investigation. The details that eventually emerged were often shocking and occasionally bizarre. For Epstein's birthday one year, according to allegations in a civil suit, he was presented with three 12-year-old girls from France, who were molested then flown back to Europe the next day. These same civil complaints allege that young girls from South America, Europe, and the former Soviet republics, few of whom spoke English, were recruited for Epstein's sexual pleasure. According to a former bookkeeper, a number of the girls worked for MC2, the modeling agency owned by Jean Luc Brunel, a longtime acquaintance and frequent guest of Epstein's. Brunel received \$1 million from the billionaire around the time he started the agency. The non-prosecution agreement executed between Epstein and the Department of Justice states that Epstein and four members of his staff were investigated for "knowingly, in affecting interstate and foreign commerce, recruiting enticing and obtaining by any means a person, knowing that person has not yet obtained the age of 18 years and would be caused to engage in commercial sex act"—that is, child sex trafficking. Yet the agreement allowed Epstein to plead guilty to only two lower-level state crimes, soliciting prostitution and soliciting a minor child for prostitution. Although the police investigation was officially closed, Chief Reiter tried to stay abreast of the federal case against Epstein. He was particularly concerned that Epstein be registered as a sex offender, which was part of the final deal, and that a fund be set up to compensate his victims—which was not, although Epstein agreed to bankroll their civil lawsuits. Attorney Dershowitz says Epstein's agreement to pay attorney fees for the victims and agree to civil damage claims—without admitting guilt—amounted to "extortion under threat of criminal prosecution." But exactly which crimes did the Department of Justice threaten to prosecute? The Daily Beast has learned that there were several earlier versions of the U.S Attorney's charges, including a 53-page indictment that, had he been convicted, could have landed Epstein in prison for 20 years. Brad Edwards, attorney for seven of the victims, confirms the existence of an earlier draft of the non-prosecution agreement, officially under seal, in which it appears that Epstein "committed, at some point, to a 10-year federal sentence." But in the end Epstein's legal team refused that deal and threatened to proceed to trial. And that's where the question of whether the case was "winnable" before a jury again came into play, according to a source in the U.S Attorney's Office, which shared the state attorney's view that the prosecution was far from a slam dunk. For one, it was clear from the start that Epstein would spare no legal expense and that his team of veteran lawyers, whose cases ranged from O.J. Simpson to the investigation of Clinton's relationship with an intern, would play rough. When the Palm Beach police started to identify victims, according to Detective Joe Recarey's report, Dershowitz began sending the detective Facebook and MySpace posts to demonstrate that some of these girls were no angels. Reiter's deposition also states that he heard from local private investigators that Dershowitz had launched background checks on both the police chief and Det. Recarey. Dershowitz denies all of that. According to Reiter, both he and Recarey also became aware that they were under surveillance for several months, without knowing who ordered it. And the Florida victims began to complain that they and family members were being followed and intimidated by private investigators who were then linked to local attorneys in Epstein's employ. In one reported instance, the private investigator claimed to be a police officer, and Reiter considered filing witness-tampering charges. The credibility of the victims was also an issue; they had never complained of their treatment by Epstein until they were contacted by police, and they may have voluntarily returned to the Palm Beach mansion several times. Many of the girls came from disadvantaged backgrounds or broken homes, and they were susceptible to Epstein's cash, intimidation, and charm. Those who were 16 when they went to El Brillo Way would have been in their 20s by the time they took the stand, and Epstein's investigators had dredged up every instance of bad behavior in their pasts. According to an exchange in the Reiter deposition, a few of the victims had worked in West Palm Beach at massage parlors known as "jack shacks." Each new compromising detail was immediately forwarded to the State Attorney's Office, where staff met frequently with Epstein's lawyers. The Florida statutes are clear: Any person older than 24 who engages in sexual contact with someone under the age of 18 commits a felony of the second degree. The victim's prior sexual conduct is not relevant; ignorance of her age is no defense. She needn't resist physically to cast doubt on the issue of "consent." For a child under 16, even lewd behavior short of touching is a felony of the second degree. But convincing a jury that a sexual encounter is a heinous crime is difficult if the victim can be made to appear willing and unharmed, not to mention vulgar and mercenary. It wasn't hard to imagine some of the victims quickly being discredited in court by Epstein's crack legal team, who repeatedly noted that the age of consent is lower in many other states. But that doesn't quite explain why the Department of Justice would forgo the child-trafficking charges, which pertain regardless of a girl's attitude or character. Epstein's final sentence is so out of line with the statutory guidelines for that crime that it appears the department may have been influenced by the existence of his many powerful friends and attorneys. A highly intelligent man who once taught math at the Dalton School in New York without a bachelor's degree, Epstein has been a serious and respected player in the highest reaches of politics and philanthropy. He has made substantial contributions to political candidates, served on the Council on Foreign Relations, and donated \$30 million to Harvard University. Moreover, many of his high-powered acquaintances availed themselves of Epstein's private jets, for which the pilot logs, obtained by discovery in the civil suits, sometimes showed that bold-face names were on the same flights as underage girls. A high-profile trial threatened to splash mud over all sorts of big players, just as both Gov. Richardson and Bill Clinton's wife were running for president. Also, a hedge fund prosecution in which Epstein offered to give evidence was heating up. Alberto Gonzales, who was U.S. attorney general throughout most of the Epstein investigation and resigned just before the non-prosecution agreement was signed, told The Daily Beast that he "would have instructed the Justice Department to pursue justice without making a political mess." But that may have been an impossible mandate, given the players involved. Instead, said attorney Brad Edwards, "Epstein committed crimes that should have jailed him for most of his life...he was jailed for only a few months." And this week he walks through his door a free man. *Conchita Samoff has developed multimedia communication programs for Fortune 500 companies and has produced three current events debate television programs, The Americas Forum, From Beirut to Kabul, and a segment for The Oppenheimer Report.

But those qualities have been thrown into question since photographs of Prince Andrew with his billionaire financier friend Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted child-sex offender who was jailed for 18 months for soliciting underage prostitutes, appeared last weekend. Today, however, even more serious doubts are cast on his suitability after a woman at the centre of the Epstein case revealed to The Mail on Sunday that she had, as a 17-year-old employed by Epstein, been flown across the world to be introduced to the Prince. First meeting: Prince Andrew puts his arms around 17-year-old Virginia, centre On one of those occasions Virginia Roberts was subsequently paid \$15,000 (£9,400). Her shocking account of her four years as Epstein's personal masseuse is supported by court documents, an 03956-1273 eyewitness, photographs and flight details of Epstein's private jets. One picture, said to have been taken by Epstein during Andrew's first encounter with the girl in March 2001 and published today by The Mail on Sunday, shows the Prince with his arm around her waist. This is not the first time the Duke of York's judgment and choice of associates have been questioned. He appears to refish the company of super-rich oil billionaires from the Middle East, North Africa and the former Soviet Union. The peculiar sale of his former marital home to a Kazakh businessman for £15 million after it had languished unsold for five years at £12 million has never been satisfactorily explained. In the recent leak of American diplomatic cables it was revealed that he had criticised an official corruption investigation into the huge Al-Yamamah arms deal between Britain and Saudi Arabia, while he is also said to be close to Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi, son of the beleaguered Libyan president, and may have had a role in the early release of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Al Megrahi. ## While on the streets, I slept with men for money. I was a paedophile's dream But it is Andrew's friendship with Epstein, whom he has known since at least 2000, and with Epstein's confidante Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late disgraced newspaper baron Robert Maxwell, that gives most concern. He was first seen with the pair on holiday in Thailand, and was pictured cavorting with Ghislaine at a Halloween fetishthemed party in Manhattan. The photograph that appeared last weekend shows the prince strolling through Central Park with 58-year-old Epstein. Andrew was said to have spent four days at his New York mansion in December, when he was joined by other distinguished guests, including Woody Allen, at a dinner. It is by no means the first New York soiree Andrew has attended as Epstein's guest. A lengthy profile of the financier in Vanity Fair magazine some years ago reported that Andrew was a guest at a cocktail party thrown by Epstein and Maxwell packed with young Russian models. 'Some guests were horrified,' said the article's author, Vicky Ward. It should not be forgotten that Epstein is a registered sex offender after recently completing his sentence for offences relating to child prostitution. However, he avoided trial on more serious charges that carried a potential life sentence. And no one reading The Mail on Sunday's interview with the woman who was prepared to testify against him can be in any doubt of the seriousness of the charges. Epstein, a Wall Street money manager who once counted Bill Clinton and Donald Trump among his friends, became the subject of an undercover investigation in 2005 after the stepmother of a 14-year old girl claimed she was paid \$200 (£125) to give him an 'erotic massage'. The subsequent FBI probe uncovered at least 20 girls levelling sexual allegations against him. Eventually, Epstein struck a 'plea bargain' with prosecutors – a practice not permitted under British law – under which he was allowed to plead guilty to two relatively minor charges. Police claim that his donations to politicians and his 'dream team' of influential lawyers deterred prosecutors from bringing more serious charges of sex-trafficking. The deal certainly kept the names of a lot of Epstein's famous friends out of an embarrassing court case. However, an unusual part of the agreement was that Epstein's alleged victims were allowed to bring civil proceedings against him. He has so far made 17 out-of-court settlements, and some cases are ongoing. One of these girls was to have been a key witness for the prosecution had the case gone to trial. She was just 15 years old when she was drawn into Epstein's exploitative world in 1998. In her civil writ against him, under the pseudonym Jane Doe 102' she alleged that her duties included being 'sexually exploited by Epstein's adult male peers including royalty'. A new life: Virgina, now a mother-of-three, in Australia Now, horrified by the evidence of Epstein and Andrew enjoying each other's company in New York, Jane Doe 102 has agreed to waive her anonymity and tell for the first time her deeply disturbing story. Her real name is Virginia Roberts and she now lives in Australia, where she is a happily married mother of three. Over the course of a week during which she spoke at length to The Mail on Sunday, she appeared sometimes vulnerable, and sometimes steely, but always quietly resolute and consistent. Revisiting events from a past that she had hoped she had left behind, Virginia occasionally buried her face in her hands. Some recollections – and, for reasons of taste, not all the details can be included here – caused her to flush with shame. 'I'm telling you things that even my husband didn't know,' she said. Virginia, who has undergone counselling to try to come to terms with her past, is honest about her initiation into Epstein's depraved world. She was a troubled teenager, whose slender figure, delicate complexion, hesitant voice and soulful blue eyes made her look young for her years. Born in Sacramento, California, in August 1983, Virginia spent her early years on a small ranch on the West Coast of America. This seemingly idyllic childhood ended when she was sexually molested by a man close to her family. The fallout from that led to her parents temporarily splitting up. Blaming herself, Virginia began to get into trouble Aged 11, she was sent to live with an aunt but repeatedly ran away. Living on the streets, she was beaten up and slept with at least two older men in return for food. 'I was a paedophile's dream,' she says. Three years later, she was reunited with her family and started a new life with her father who had moved to Palm Beach, Florida, where he was maintenance manager at Donald Trump's country club, Mar-a-Lago. Virginia got a part-time job as a changing room assistant –which is where, soon after her 15th birthday, she met Ghislaine Maxwell, who invited her to work as Epstein's personal masseuse. 'I was wearing my uniform – a white miniskirt and a skin-tight white polo top – when I was approached by Ghislaine,' Virginia says. 'I told her I wanted to become a masseuse and she said she worked for a very wealthy gentleman who was looking for a travelling masseuse. I'd get training and be paid well. Virginia's father gave his blessing, believing his daughter was being handed the opportunity to learn a skill and to work for a wealthy and respectable employer. He drove her to Epstein's pink mansion on the Palm Beach waterfront – he also owns a nine-storey home in New York, the city's biggest private residence; a 7,500-acre ranch called 'Zorro' in New Mexico and Little Saint James, a private 70- acre atoll in the US Virgin Islands. Virginia says: 'Ghislaine said I was to start immediately and that someone would drive me home. My father left and I was told to go upstairs.' She was led by another woman through Epstein's bedroom into a massage room where he lay face down naked on a table. He started to interviewed Virginia. This was unconventional, but Virginia had no suspicions. Presumably, she thought, this was how the wealthy conducted their business. Epstein elicited the information that Virginia had been a runaway, and was no longer a virgin. Virginia was then told to start massaging Epstein, under the instructions of the woman who had shown her in. The massage quickly developed into a sexual encounter. Virginia was uncomfortable, but reluctant to deny such important people. 'My face was red with embarrassment,' she says. 'But I felt under immense pressure to please them. The whole time it was going on, they were promising me the world, that I'd travel with Jeffrey on his private jet and have a well-paid profession.' Afterwards, she was given two \$100 bills and told to return the next day. That was the beginning of the four years she spent with Epstein. For three of those years, she was under Florida's age of consent, which is 18. Troubled teenager: Virginia on the billionaire's Zorro ranch in New Mexico in 2001 Virginia was fascinated by his life story: the son of a humble New York City parks worker, he was a teacher before becoming a Wall Street broker and friends with the upper echelons of the political, financial and academic establishment. He guaranteed her a minimum of \$200 each time she gave him what he called an 'erotic massage.' Virginia said: 'I would always receive the money immediately. He would give me the cash from a wad he carried in a black duffel bag or an assistant paid me. 'And, because of the way Epstein had warped her sensibilities, every time she took the cash, Virginia felt even more indebted to him. Secretly, he was also preparing her for an even more disturbing role. ## Epstein had trained me to do whatever men wanted. I told myself I was special 'Basically, I was training to be a prostitute for him and his friends who shared his interest in young girls,' she says: 'After about two years, he started to ask me to "entertain" his friends.' It started when Epstein called Virginia at the Palm Beach apartment he had rented for her. She recalls: 'He said, "I've got a good friend and I need you to fly to the island to entertain him, massage him and make him feel how you make me feel." He didn't spell out what I had to do. He didn't have to. 'He'd trained me to do whatever a man wanted. I was shocked but I told myself he was sharing me around because he trusted me and I was special. I was worried, but I would do anything to keep Jeffrey happy and to keep my place as his number one girl. He would keep telling me how lucky I was with the life I was leading and the money I was making. It was easy to fall into his grasp. 'The way it usually worked was I'd be sent to meet a man on the private island Jeffrey owned in the Caribbean, or at his ranch in New Mexico, which was really isolated.' She was 'given' to men ranging in age from their 40s to their 60s. They included a well-known businessman (whose pregnant wife was asleep in the next room), a world-renowned scientist, a respected liberal politician and a foreign head of state. None appeared to think the arrangement was unusual. Virginia says there were many other girls in Epstein's circle and that she was paid extra money to help recruit them. Counselling: Virginia at her mother's home at Palm Beach in 1998 'They would lounge around the Palm Beach house, the ranch or the island, nude or topless,' she says. 'But I was one of the very few he trusted as "special" and chosen to "entertain" his friends.' Virginia took the sedative Xanax to detach herself from sordid reality. 'It was an escape drug,' she says. 'It made me calm and helped me forget about what I had to do. I was up to eight pills a day.' Epstein had no objection to Virginia's use of prescription drugs, no doubt recognising that they made her even more malleable. 'I didn't want to go back to the life I'd had before' she says. 'That made me totally obedient.' Despite the fact that Epstein was, essentially, her pimp, this life now seemed normal to Virginia. 'I felt that he and Ghislaine really cared for me,' she said. 'We'd do family things, like watch Sex And The City and eat popcorn. 'A lot of it was very glamorous. I met famous friends of his such as Al Gore and Heidi Klum and Naomi Campbell. He introduced me as his "travelling masseuse." Some people mistook me for his daughter. 'When we were in New York or Palm Beach, Ghislaine and I would shop all day. Jeffrey bought me jewellery – diamonds were his favourite – and wonderful furniture. He was paying me very well because I'd give him sex whenever he wanted it.' wanted to redo his New Mexico house. I threw my arms around him and gave him a peck on the cheek.' They flew to Paris, then Spain, then Tangier. Finally, they went to London. 'After we landed, we drove straight to Ghislaine's house,' says Virginia. 'I was given a small upstairs bedroom. The following morning, Ghislaine came in. She was chirpy and jumped on the bed saying, "Get up, sleepyhead. You've got a big day. We've got to go shopping. You need a dress as you're going to dance with a Prince tonight." 'She said I needed to be "smiley" and bubbly because he was the Queen's son. Ghislaine and I went to Burberry, where she bought me a £5,000 bag, and to a few other designer stores where we bought a couple of dresses, a pair of embroidered jeans and a pink singlet, perfume and make-up. We got back to Ghislaine's house at around 4pm and I ran straight upstairs to shower and dress. When I went downstairs, Ghislaine and Jeffrey were in the lounge. There was a knock at the door. Ghislaine led Andrew in and we kissed each other on the cheek. 'Ghislaine served tea from a porcelain pot and biscuits. She knew Sarah Ferguson and they talked fondly about Andrew's daughters. Then Ghislaine asked Andrew how old he thought I was and he guessed 17 and they all laughed. Ghislaine made a joke that I was getting too old for Jeffrey. She said, "He'll soon have to trade her in." It was widely known that he liked young girls.' The four of them went out to dinner and on to Tramp nightclub where, she says, Andrew danced with her. 'After about an hour-and-a-half, we drove back to Ghislaine's. All of us went upstairs and I asked Jeffrey to snap a picture of me with the Prince. I wanted something to show my Mom. Ghislaine and Jeffrey left us after that, and later Andrew left. 'In the morning, Ghislaine said, "You did well. He had fun". We flew straight back to the States.' The Mail on Sunday has confirmed that the tycoon's jet flew to Paris on March 6, 2001, continuing to Granada, Tangier and London, before returning to New York. On the last leg of the trip, Virginia was paid about \$15,000 (£9,400) by Epstein. 'It was amazing money, more than I'd ever made on a trip with him before. He didn't say there was any special reason, but I felt like I'd done everything he wanted. He was very pleased.' **I took eight pills a day to help me forget what I had to do. It made me calm.** There is no suggestion that there was any sexual contact between Virginia and Andrew, or that Andrew knew that Epstein paid her to have sex with his friends. Virginia says she met Andrew for a second time around Easter 2001 at Epstein's Manhattan mansion. "When I got to the mansion, I was told, "Get ready. You are meeting someone in the office" – which is what they called the library. Andrew was sitting there in a big leather armchair. Ghislaine had just given him a present, a big toy that was his Spitting Image puppet. 'He was smiling ear-to-ear. He looked like a kid whose parents were taking him to Disney World. A beautiful girl called Johanna Sjoberg who worked for Jeffrey was sitting on Andrew's knee. Ghislaine guided me over to Andrew and I think he recognised me, though I don't know if he remembered my name. **Organiser:** Ghislaine Maxwell looks on as Andrew put his arm around Virginia. Robert Maxwell's daughter invited her to work as Epstein's personal masseuse soon after her 15th birthday We kissed on the cheek and Ghislaine placed me on his other knee.' Johanna spoke to The Mail on Sunday three years ago about this incident, which took place when she was 21. She said: 'Ghislaine put the puppet's hand on Virginia's breast, then Andrew put his hand on my breast. It was a great joke. Everybody laughed.' After this, Virginia was paid, by Epstein, around \$400 (£250).' She met Andrew for the third and final time on Epstein's Caribbean island, Little Saint James. Virginia was never under the British legal age of consent when she met Andrew. She was 17 during the first two encounters and 18 at the third. Conviction: Jeffrey Epstein By now, however, Epstein, had started to hint that she was getting 'too old' for him. But during one trip to the island, Epstein and Ghislaine made their most astonishing proposition, and one which repulsed her. 'They said Jeffrey wanted me to have his child,' she says. 'They said I was part of their family and I was beautiful, young, loyal and nurturing and would be a great mother. They said I would have to sign a contract relinquishing rights to the child and consenting to Jeffrey having as many relationships as he liked. In return I would have my own mansion in Palm Beach and a large monthly payment, a percentage of his income.' This, finally, was a wake-up call to Virginia and she began to see the way in which she had been groomed. 'It was a smack in the face,' she says. 'I finally realised this wasn't ever going to be a real relationship but I knew if I refused, I'd be thrown back on the streets. So I said, "I'm too young. I want to get my massage credentials, then maybe we'll do it".' The tycoon took her at her word and, for her 19th birthday in August 2002, flew her to Thailand where he enrolled her in a massage course. Shortly after arriving there, she met an Australian martial arts expert called Robert. They fell in love and, just ten days later, married in a Buddhist ceremony. 'I called Jeffrey and told him I'd fallen madly in love,' Virginia says. 'I was hoping he'd be delighted. But he said, "Have a nice life," and hung up on me.' The couple now have two sons, aged five and four, and a daughter who recently turned one. 'The first few months after I married Robert were the worst,' she says. 'I couldn't bring myself to tell him much. No man wants to know his wife has been traded out. 'I felt very alone. I was having panic attacks and seeing a psychiatrist and was on anti-depressants. 'Virginia was beginning to put her Epstein days behind her when, three years ago, she was phoned by the FBI. 'They said they had found photos of me at Jeffrey's Palm Beach house,' she says. '[Epstein had] hidden cameras watching me the entire time even when I was in the bathroom. I was so embarrassed. 'I told the FBI that my true purpose was sexual. They told me everything he did was illegal because I was under age.' (The age of consent in Florida is 18). 'They said that if it had to go to trial, they'd need me because I'd lived with him and that made me a key witness. I was very afraid, because he had so much power, but eventually I agreed to testify. I was glad he'd finally been found out. He shouldn't be hurting other girls. Following Epstein's arrest, investigators are believed to have found a list of men's names on his computer and asked him whether they had been 'treated' to sexual encounters with his menage of minors. 'He took the Fifth Amendment, refusing to answer, indicating that if he were to answer the question, it could be incriminating,' a source told The Mail on Sunday. Epstein struck a deal resulting in what commentators characterised as a 'slap on the wrist' for him, and ended up serving 13 months of his sentence, much of it in a liberal work-release programme Lawyer Brad Edwards, who represented several of Epstein's victims, said: 'Rather than punish him the way they would an average Joe, they sent a clear message that with enough money and power and influence, the system can be bought.' Virginia was spared her the humiliation of having to go before a jury, and has kept her feelings bottled up until last weekend's photograph of Andrew with Epstein triggered distressing memories. Virginia says: 'I am appalled. To me, it's saying, "We are above the law." But Jeffrey is a monster.' Last night, neither Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell nor Prince Andrew would comment on Virginia's story.

That aside, I am more disgusted that out of the 24 comments on this article so far, people are either talking about what a pretty piece of tot she is, how she should have basically kept her mouth shut, how we can't be judged by the actions of our friends, whether the royal family has any validity (as if it ever had a clean past), & most astonishingly arguments about whether Fergie has more right to a royal wedding invite than Andrew! Absolutely disgusting, looking forward to further comments on her weight, whether she looks good for her age, & scrutiny over whether she's had any work done soon. - Fiona, Stop the world I wanna get off, 27/2/2011 14:55 Click to rate \_\_ Rating 356 The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of MailOnline.

Ronald Eppinger had faced up to 10 years after pleading guilty this month to charges of alien smuggling for prostitution, interstate travel for prostitution and money laundering. Eppinger worked with two Czech women to get tourist visas for the future prostitutes and kept nearly half of their earnings from operations in Miami, New York, Texas and the Bahamas, prosecutors said. Women were brought to the United States illegally from 1997 to 1999. As part of his plea, Eppinger forfeited a boat and limousine used to promote the call-girl service. Eppinger learned he was under investigation in June 1999 and moved from the United States to the Czech capital of Prague. He was arrested in Germany last December while traveling from the Czech Republic to Spain and was sent to the United States in May.

Attorneys Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell, representing Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2, argued Friday in federal court in West Palm Beach that the government's action violated the girls' rights under the federal Crime Victims' Rights Act. Edwards and Cassell want the agreement nullified and want Marra to unseal un-redacted plea deal correspondence between the U.S. Attorney's Office and Epstein's defense team. If he agrees, that action could spur a federal case that might expose Epstein to a longer incarceration if convicted. After Palm Beach police received a complaint about Epstein in spring 2005, more than 30 young women participated in civil lawsuits that alleged he lured them to his home for sexually charged rubbowns and/or sex in exchange for cash when they were minors. Some cases were dismissed, and others were settled. Epstein, now 58, pleaded not guilty in August 2006 in state court. Eventually he agreed to a state plea deal and served 13 months of an 18-month sentence for soliciting a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution — but only after his attorneys successfully argued for the federal non-prosecution pact. The U.S. attorneys sent letters to Jane Doe No. 1 and No. 2 twice in 2008 describing their case as being under federal investigation — even though a non-prosecution agreement had been created the previous year and had been kept secret from the young women, according to Edwards. Edwards said the latter action "eviscerated the rights" of the two women to bring Epstein to justice. Assistant U.S. Attorney Dexter Lee told Marra that the Crime Victims' Rights Act dictates that victim notification is triggered only after an indictment. Cassell disagreed. "It wasn't designed to be so narrowly circumscribed," the Fort Lauderdale lawyer said. Lee said requiring federal attorneys to confer with alleged victims before they can determine whether an indictment is warranted would impinge on prosecutorial discretion. "The government believes these rights would attach only after a formal indictment," Lee said. Marra questioned that assertion. "I think we wouldn't be here if your office had conferred with the victims, heard them out," and explained why prosecution wasn't pursued, the judge said. Lee countered that alleged victims have no right to confer with the government when the government is not "in the case." The judge reserved ruling on the plaintiffs' motion to unseal the federal attorneys' plea deal correspondence with Epstein's legal team. He gave famed criminal defense attorney Roy Black two weeks to submit materials explaining why the letters should not be turned over to the two young women's lawyers. The U.S. Attorney's Office will then have two weeks to respond, then the plaintiffs' team will have a week to respond. Black will then have a week to deliver his final reply to the judge. Black had argued that the correspondence was protected by attorney-client privilege. "Any statements made in regard to plea bargaining are immunized" whether related to statements of culpability or not, Black said. "This is classic work product we sent to the government."
