Re: 
Jeffrey Epstein 
Dear Jay and Roy: 
Thank you for your response to my earlier letter. The U.S. Attorney's Office shares 
in your desire to implement all of the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. As you are 
aware, the jointly-approved Special Master. Judge Mi. has already selected an attorney 
representative, Robert Josefsberg, who was accepted by both parties. The Office has 
conferred with Mr. Josefsberg, who has agreed to continue in that role. In October 2007, Mr. 
Josefsberg expended time, effort, and funds in preparing to serve as the attorney 
representative, and he will need a written confirmation from you that his future fees and 
expenses will be paid in accordance with the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. 
Please provide me with a copy of that correspondence for my file. 
With that matter settled, I believe that the requirement for a joint written submission 
to the Special Master has been extinguished. Nonetheless, I have no objection to attempting 
to create a joint statement to assist Mr. Josefsberg in serving his duties. Regarding your 
suggestion that we ask Judge 
to "offer the final word on how certain clauses should 
be interpreted and satisfied," I believe that the Agreement speaks for itself.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, following Mr. Epstein's sentencing, the U.S. 
Attorney's Office provided Mr. Epstein's counsel with a list of the individuals whom it was 
prepared to name in an indictment as victims of an offense enumerated in 18 U.S.C. § 2255. 
and none of those names will be deleted. By his agreement, Mr. Epstein sought to resolve 
liability for all criminal activity known to the United States as of the lime of his plea and 
sentencing, and he is responsible for damages to all victims of that criminal activity. 
. 
Copies of the victim notifications will continue to be provided to counsel for Mr. 
Epstein. Please let me know whether I should continue to list Mr. Goldberger as the point 
of contact for the civil litigation. Regarding your suggestion on the content of the 
notification letters, I intend to use the same format that was used in the letters previously 
approved by Messrs. Goldberger and Tein, except that I will include the language from the 
September and October agreements. I have enclosed a draft herewith. Because I previously 
provided the victims with incorrect information—albeit with the approval of Mr. Epstein's 
counsel—it is imperative that I correct the error promptly. Accordingly, if you have any 
substantive objections to the letter, please advise me by tomorrow afternoon. 
Sincerely, 
R. Alexander Acosta

Re:

: AMENDED NOTIFICATION 
OF IDENTIFIED vicrim 
Dear Mr. Dutko: 
By virtue of this letter, the United States Attorney's Office for the SouthernMt 
of Florida asks that you provide the following amended notice to your client, 
Some of the information contained in the July 20,2008 letter to Ms. 
was inaccurate, 
so please advise her of the following changes. 
As you were previously advised, on June 30, 2008, Jeffrey Epstein (hereinafter 
referred to as "Epstein) entered a plea of guilty to violations of Florida Statutes Sections 
796.07 (felony solicitation of prostitution) and 796.03 (procurement of minors to engage in 
prostitution), in the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County (Case Nos. 2006-cf-
009454AXXXMB and 2008-cf-00938IAXXXMB) and was sentenced to a term of twelve 
months' imprisonment to be followed by an additional six months' imprisonment, followed 
by twelve months of Community Control I, with conditions of community confinement 
imposed by the Court. 
In light of the entry of the guilty plea and sentence, the United States has agreed to 
defer federal prosecution in favor of this state plea and sentence, subject to certain 
conditions, including the following: 
I. 
An independent Special Master was assigned the task of selecting an 
attorney representative to represent the victims in connection with civil

DRAFT 
litigation between the victims and Mr. Epstein. The Special Master 
selected Robert Josefsberg, Esq. of the firm Podhurst Orseck, P.A., a 
highly-respected and experienced attorney. 
Ms. 
is not 
obligated to use Mr. Josefsberg as her civil attorney, but, as explained 
in greater detail below, Mr. Josefsberg's services will be provided at no 
cost to Ms. 
because Mr. Epstein is obligated to pay the costs 
and fees of the attorney-representative. Also, Mr. Epstein and his 
attorneys can only contact Ms. 
via Mr. Josefsberg, assuming 
that she would like Mr. Josefsberg to serve as her attorney. 
2. 
If Ms. 
elects to file suit against Mr. Epstein pursuant to Title 
18, United States Code, Section 2255, Mr. Epstein will not contest the 
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District 
of Florida over his person and/or the subject matter, and Mr. Epstein 
waives his right to contest liability and also waives his ri t to contest 
damages up to an amount as a eed to between Ms. 
and Mr. 
Epstein, so long as Ms. 
elects to proceed exclusively under 18 
U.S.C. § 2255, and she waives any other claim for damages, whether 
pursuant to state, federal, or common law. Notwithstanding this 
waiver. Epstein's agreement with the United States, his waivers and 
failure to contest liability and such damages in any suit are not to be 
construed as an admission of any criminal or civil liability. 
3. 
As stated above. Mr. Epstein has agreed to pay the fees of the attorney 
representative selected by the independent third party. This provision, 
however, shall not obligate Epstein to pay the fees and costs of 
contested litigation filed ra
ft . Thus, if after consideration of 
potential settlements, Ms. 
and Mr. Josefsberg elect to file a 
contested lawsuit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255 or she elects to pursue 
any other contested remedy, the obligation to pay the costs of the 
attorney representative, as opposed to any statutory or other obligations 
to pay reasonable attorneys fees and costs such as those contained in 
Section 2255 to bear the costs of the attorney representative, shall 
cease. 
Mr. Josefsberg will be contactiniovithin the next week to explain these terms and 
to determine if he may contact Ms. 
directly. If you would like to contact Mr.

Josefsberg directly, he can be reached at 305 358-2800. 
If Ms. 
has selected other counsel to represent her, or if she does so in the 
future, and she decides to pursue a claim against Jeffrey Epstein. his attorney, Jack 
Goldberger, asks that he be contacted at Atterbury Goldberger and Weiss, 250 Australian 
Avenue South, Suite 1400, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. 
In addition, a judge has ordered that the United States make available to any 
designated victim (and/or her attorney) a copy of the actual agreement between Mr. Epstein 
and the United States, so long as the victim (and/or her attorn 
reviews, signs, and agrees 
to be bound by a Protective Order entered by the Court. If Ms. 
would like to review 
the Agreement, please let me know, and I will forward a copy of the Protective Order for her 
signature. 
As I stated in my earlier notification, please understand that neither the U.S. 
Attorney's Office nor the Federal Bureau of Investigation can take part in or otherwise assist 
in civil litigation, but we again thank you and your client for all of her assistance during the 
course of this investigation.

Dear Mark: 
Facrarnoe 
r: 
44S 4900 
I write this letter to correct certain misstatements made in win. letter dated August 21. 
2008. and the accompanying draft notification. 
First, you state that "Mr. Josefsbcrg expended time, effort and funds in preparing to serve 
as attorney representative in October of 2007.- Neither I. nor any other attorney un Mr. 
Epstein's defense team. was notified of this work by Mr. Joselsherg. 
Second. in the victim notification letter, no judge "has ordered that the United States" 
make available a copy of the Non-Prosecution. Agreement. Section (d) of the Order to Compel 
Production and Protective Order provides that if any of the alleged - victims- andior their 
altonieys "request the opportunity to review the Agreement." the MAO shall comply with tlx: 
request so long as those individuals agree not to disclose the Non-Prosecution Agreement. There 
is no court order requiring the government to provide the alleged "victims' with ninice that the 
Non-Prosecution Agreement is available to them upon request and doing so is in conflict with 
the confidentiality provisions of the Agreement. Given that the individuals on the list will have 
an attorney representative who is fully aware of the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. 
this conflicting paragraph of your notice is unnecessary in any event and should he excised. 
Third. misstatements in your prior notification were not made "with the approval of 
Mr. Epstein's counsel.-
Fourth. we arc concerned with your open-ended description of Mr. lipstein's 
responsibilities regarding civil restitution. The resolution of liability pursuant to 18 U.S.C.

no more. no less. 
Filth. while ?nu state, in your letter, that the IISAO does nut intend to delete any of the 
names on the list provided to Mr. Epstein's counsel. you do not confirm that the prior list is final 
and complete. There can be no expansion of the list of individuals that you informed us had 
been memorialized as of September 24. 2007 and disclosed to Mr. Epstein un June 30. 2008 (the 
date of sentence pursuant to the Agreement's disclosure requirements). Please confirm the exact 
name and number of individuals the government plans on notifying as provided for under the 
Agreement. 
Sixth. based on express language in prior communications front your Office. we are in 
agreement that paragraphs 7 and ft of the Agreement arc in need of clari ileation and 
implementation. We will work with the attorney representative in attempting to reach a fair 
resolution of the outstanding civil matters in a manner that is in accordance with the Agreement. 
Seventh, we have previously communicated our objections to the propriety of the 
attorney representative engaging in contested litigation. We again dispute the assertion that 
Mr. Jostisberg's dutit.s include filing contested litigation. In any ease, that issue is not ripe for 
resolution in this point, but again, given his agreement to be the attorney representative, we will 
address these matters directly with Mr. Josefsberg.

Re: 
Jeffrey Epstein 
Dear Jay and Roy: 
Thank you for your letter of August 22nd. I write to follow up on some of the points 
that you raised. 
The list of thirty-two victims that was provided to Mr. Goldberger via certified mail 
on July 10, 2008 is the final list. As I mentioned, copies of the notification letters to each 
victim will be carbon-copied to an attorney for Mr. Epstein and Mr. Josefsberg. I asked you 
to advise me whether Mr. Goldberger should continue to be listed as the contact person for 
the civil litigation in the amended victim notification letters and whether he should receive 
the carbon copies of those letters as they are sent. 
1 also asked you to provide me with written confirmation of your agreement to pay Mr. 
Josefsberg's fees. Please provide that confirmation to Mr. Josefsberg so that he can begin 
his representation, and provide me with a copy for my file. 
I have conferred with the lead AUSA in the case of Jane Doe I and 21 United States,

and he agrees that, based upon the discussion with Judge Marra during the hearing on the 
plaintiffs' motion, a notification of the judge's ruling is required. I will, however, change 
the language slightly to direct the victims to discuss the matter with Mr. Josefsberg. 
With regard to your concerns with my "open-ended description of Mr. Epstein's 
responsibilities regarding civil restitution," I agree that the resolution of civil damages claims 
is as stated in paragraphs 7 and 8 of the Agreement and Addendum. That is why the 
language in the notification is taken verbatim from paragraphs 7, 8, and 7C of the Agreement 
and Addendum, except that the victim's name is used in place of "identi fied individual." As 
I mentioned in my earlier letter, i f you have any proposed substantive changes, please provide 
them to me. 
Mr. Goldberger and Mr. Tein explicitly approved the language in my earlier victim 
notification letter, even though they apparently were taking the position that the December 
19, 2007 letter was not part of the Agreement, so that misinformation was provided to the 
victims with the approval of Mr. Epstein's attorneys. 
With regard to your sixth and seventh points, I reiterate that it is the Office's position 
that the Agreement and Addendum speak for themselves. Let me also reiterate that, while 
the Office does not intend to involve itself in any civil negotiations or litigation, if it comes 
to our attention that Mr. Epstein has breached the terms of the Agreement, the Office intends 
to enforce its right pursuant to the Agreement. 
I would appreciate a prompt response to the question regarding which of Mr. Epstein's 
attorneys should be named in and receive copies of the notification letters, as well as 
documentation of your commitment to paying Mr. Josefsberg's fees so that I may begin 
distributing the revised victim notifications on Wednesday morning.

We represent The Palm Beach Daily News. The newspaper recently discovered that a non-prosecution agreement (and 
an addendum thereto) was filed under seal pursuant to an agreed order entered in the above-referenced case. Because 
the records are sealed, we cannot assess the propriety of the decision to seal them or even whether the newspaper is 
interested in the information contained therein. I was hoping you would discuss with me the nature of the agreement and 
the basis for sealing it so that we can advise our client on whether it should pursue an order unsealing the 
agreement. Please call me at your earliest convenience.

We are in receipt of letters dated September 2, 2008 from Assistant U.S. Attorney A. 
Marie Villafaila that were sent to sexual assault victims of Jeffrey Epstein. That letter 
advises victims that you will be contacting them regarding civil claims against Epstein. 
Please be advised that we strenuously object to these letters and the contemplated unsolicited 
contacts with victims. Please be further advised that we represent the following victims in 
claims against Jeffrey Esptein, and direct that you make no contact with any of them, except 
through our office: 
• 
We further believe that Mr. Epstein's plan for you to represent victims, and for the 
Assistant U.S. Attorney to assist you in soliciting them, is in violation of the Florida Bar 
Rules, particularly Rule 4-7.4. We urge you not to participate in these activities.

This concerns your letters to us and to sexual assault victims of Mr. Epstein dated September 
2, 2008. Please be advised that we strenuously object to your letters on various grounds, and believe 
that they are in violation of the Florida Bar Rules. 
First, your letters attempt to steer the victims to a particular attorney, Mr. Josefsberg, and 
advise them that Mr. Josefsberg will be making an unsolicited contact to them in the next two weeks. 
This contact with prospective clients and solicitation reflected in your letters is contrary to Fla. Bar. 
Rule 4-7.4. Additionally, your letters are misleading in the following respects: (1) the action 
advocated to the victims in paragraph 2 refers generally to the victims' waiver of "any other claim for 
damages", failing to advise them that this waiver may include a valuable claim to punitive damages 
against an alleged billionaire; and (2) the letters imply in paragraph 3 that Mr. Epstein's agreement to 
pay attorney fees is a significant concession, when in fact a victim is entitled to reasonable attorneys' 
fees under the Statute upon proof of a violation, irrespective of Mr. Epstein's agreement. 
We accordingly demand that the U.S. Attorneys' office immediately cease and desist from 
directing unrepresented victims into unsolicited attorney contacts and misleading them about their 
rights in claims against Mr. Epstein. We demand that you instruct Mr. Josefsberg not to solicit 
victims, and to send letters to unrepresented victims correcting the misleading statements contained 
in your September 2, 2008 letters.
