Judge agrees 
Epstein's sex

WEST 
PALM 
BEACH 
— A circuit judge agreed 
Thursday to unseal a deal 
billionaire Jeffrey Epstein 
struck with federal pros-
ecutors to avoid their fil-
ing of charges in the wake 
of his sex scandal with 
underage girls. 
Circuit Judge Jeff Col-
bath said he would not re-
lease Epstein% agreement 
with federal prosecutors 
until Monday, allowing 
him time to redact the 
to unseal 
scandal deal 
Epstein 
names of vic-
tims. Colbath 
ruled that the 
deal had not 
been 
sealed 
proerly. 
Jack 
Goldberger, 
Epstein's at-
torney, immediately asked 
for a stay of Colbath% deci-
sion to unseal the agree-
ment in order to appeal it. 
A hearing on that request 
is set for this morning 
See EPSTEIN. 58 P. 
Epstein scheduled 
for release in July 
IP. EPSTEIN from m 
Attorneys for women 
now suing Epstein, as well 
as attorneys for The Palm 
Beach Post, had asked Col-
bath to release the deal, 
arguing the public and 
the victims have a right 
to see it. 
"There is nothing more 
fundamentally important 
than for the public and 
press to observe how the 
government is doing its 
job," Post attorney Deanna 
Shullman said. "There 
is great public interest 
in how everybody in this 
case is doing their job." 
Goldberger argued that 
the confidential agreement 
Epstein struck with federal 
prosecutors should remain 
confidential. Included in it, 
Goldberger said, are ref-
erences to federal grand 
jury proceedings, which 
are secret and protected 
by federal rules. A federal 
judge should decide the 
issue, he said. 
Attorneys 
Spencer 
Kuvin and Brad Edwards, 
who represent some of the 
women now suing Epstein, 
both said they were 'not 
surprised by Epstein% at-
torney moving to appeaL 
"My chance to stall 
in any way and keep the 
agreement out of public 
disclosure, they will take 
it," said Edwards outside 
court 
He will have served 
about 13 months of an 
18-month sentence. 
Epstein pleaded guilty 
nearly one year ago to 
solicitation of prostitution 
and procuring teenagers 
for prostitution and was 
sentenced to 18 months in 
prison. 
A sheriff% office official 
confirmed Thursday that 
Epstein will be released 
from the. Palm Beach 
County Stockade on July 
22 — nearly 13 months 
into his sentence. 
Sheriff% ofi
ookes-
person Eric 
said 
Epstein has earn 
gain 
time for good behavior 
and for participating in a 
work-release program. 
The saga began years 
ago after Palm Beach po-
lice began investigating 
reports that young women 
were. being brought to his 
manse on El Brillo Way to 
massage him and have sex 
with him in exchange for 
money. 
Displeased with the 
way the state attorney 
office handled the case, 
Palm Beach police later 
forwarded information to 
the Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation.

First, thank you for meeting with us on Wednesday and providing us with 
an opportunity to address a wide range of concerns with you. At the conclusion 
of the meeting we discussed Mr Epstein's eligibility for a modification, or 
termination of his one-year community control sentence under either of two 
provisions of state law, FSA §948.05 and FSA §948.10(4). You asked what our 
position would be in the event an application for such relief was made regarding 
notification of those persons determined by you to be federal rather than just state 
victims. We believe that such notification would not be required by 18 USC 
§3771. Your office has come to a similar conclusion, see AUSA Alex Acosta's 
December 19, 2007 letter to Lilly Sanchez, pg 2. We are sensitive, however, to the 
adversarial litigation previously filed regarding other §3771 issues. Accordingly, 
we propose the following: 
1. That if Mr Epstein applies for a termination of community control 
sentence that seeks an early release from all probation, that your office would (a) 
not oppose this request under state law, i.e., you would permit the state to make 
its own discretionary decision on the application without taking a position one 
way or the other, (b) not consider it a breach of the NPA for Epstein to either so 
apply or, if the application is allowed, to accept the reduction, and (c) notify the 
federal victims that such an application has been made, and the date, if any, 
when the matter would be heard. We further propose, however, that the victim 
notification letter neither request nor encourage the attendance of the federal 
victims at any scheduled hearing nor request nor encourage that the federal 
victims make filings in state court as to their position since those rights, to our 
understanding, are at most limited under state law to state victims. Those on the

federal victim notification list, of course, once notified, would have the non-
statutory right at their own election to attend any hearing, 
2. That if Mr Epstein applies for a modification of community control that 
only converts it, pursuant to FSA §948.10(4) into a normal probation with no 
shortening of the terms of supervision that you would neither oppose nor support 
the request nor would either the request nor any acceptance of any subsequent 
order converting the community control to some other form of probation be 
considered a breach of the NPA, however, given that Mr Epstein would remain 
under state supervision for the remainder of the 12-month sentence, no prior 
notification to federal victims would be provided.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIFTEENTH 
JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, IN AND FOR PALM BEACH 
COUNTY, FLORIDA 
CASE NO. 
2008CF009381A 
STATE OF FLORIDA 
vs. 
JEFFREY EPSTEIN, 
Defendant. 
AGREED ORDER 
This cause came on to be heard upon the agreement of the parties, Jack 
Goldberger representing Jeffrey Epstein and Barbara Burns representing the State of 
Florida, and the Court being fully advised that the parties have reviewed both the plea 
agreement and the transcript of the plea conference in the Defendants case and have 
confirmed that the requirement of "mandatory public service" as a special condition of 
community control checked off on the Order Placing the Defendant on Community Control 
was due to a clerical error. Accordingly, it is hereby ordered and adjudged that the special 
condition of "mandatory public service" is deleted. 
The Court being further advised that the Order Placing the Defendant on Community 
Control did not address the Defendant's travel outside the State of Florida for work or 
business purposes and the parties desire to clarify that omission, it is hereby ordered and 
adjudged that the Defendant is authorized to travel outside the State of Florida for business 
and work purposes if allowed by his community control officer. At least 48 hours before 
the need to travel outside the State of Florida for work purposes the Defendant shall first 
obtain the permission of his community control officer and then follow any instructions or 
EFTA00183085

requirements imposed on him by his community control officer. 
DONE AND ORDERED in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida on this 
 
day of September, 2009.
