UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA 
Case No. 08-80736-Civ-Marra/Johnson 
JANE DOES #1 and #2 
I.
UNITED STATES 
JOINT STATEMENT OF UNDISPUTED FACTS 
The parties hereby stipulate and agree that the following facts are not in dispute and may 
be accepted as true: 
1. Between about 2001 and 2006, defendant Jeffrey Epstein (a—billienaire—with—signifteant 
politieal-eenneetiens)-sexually-abusedinere-than-40 enticed into prostitution minor girls at his 
mansion in West Palm Beach, Florida, and elsewhere. Among the girls he sexually 
sed so 
enticed were Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2. Because Epstein, through others, used a means of 
interstate commerce and knowingly traveled in interstate commerce to engage in this conduct, 
te-abuse-Jane-Dee-#4-en43ane-Dee-#2-(and-the-ether-vietims), he committed violations of federal 
law, specifically repeated violations of 18 U.S.C. § 2422. 
2. In 2006, at the request of the Palm Beach Police Department, the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation ("FBI") opened an investigation into allegations that Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein") 
and his personal assistants had used facilities of interstate commerce to induce young girls 
between the ages of thirteen and seventeen to engage in prostitution, among other offenses. The 
case was presented to the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida, 
which accepted the case for investigation. The Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office was 
EFTA00191264

also investigating the-ease Epstein. See Declaration of Bradley J. Edwards, Esq. at ¶¶ 1-2 
(hereinafter "Edwards Declaration"). 
The FBI determined that both Jane Doe 111 and Jane Doe 112 were ictims of aexual 025auh6

4. On about June 7, 2007, FBI agents hand-delivered to Jane Doe #1 a standard-G-V-RA-victim 
notification letter. See Edwards Declaration, Exhibit "A." The notification promises that the 
Justice Department would makes its "best efforts" to protect Jane Doe #1's rights, including 
"[tjhe reasonable right to confer with the attorney for the United States in the case" and "to be 
reasonably heard at any public proceeding in the district court involving . . . plea . . . ." The 
notification further explained that "[a]t this time, your case is under investigation." That 
notification meant that the FBI had identified Jane Doe #1 as a potential victim of a federal 
offense. and-as-senteene-preteeted-by-the-GVRA: 
5. On about August 11, 2007, Jane Doe #2 received a standard CVRA victim notification letter. 
See Edwards Declaration, Exhibit "B." The notification promised that the Justice Department 
would makes its "best efforts" to protect Jane Doe #2's rights, including "[t]he reasonable right 
to confer with the attorney for the United States in the case" and "to be reasonably heard at any 
public proceeding in the district court involving . . . plea ...." The notification further explained 
that "[a]t this time, your case is under investigation." That notification meant that the FBI had 
identified Jane Doe #2 as a potential victim of a federal offense. aftd-as-semeene-proteeted-by 
the CVRA.
6. Early-in During the investigation, the FBI agents and the Assistant U.S. Attorney had-several 
meetinga met with Jane Doe #1. Jane Doe #2 was represented by counsel that was paid for by 
EFTA00191265
Sivu 3 / 132
the criminal target Epstein and, accordingly, all contact was made through that attorney. Jane 
Doe #2 was openly hostile to the investigation, and told investigators that she was not a 
victim of any offense, that Epstein was an "awesome man," and that she would consider 
marrying Epstein. Jane Doe #2 actively avoided law enforcement's attempts to secure her 
cooperation with the investigation and contacted other potential witnesses and victims to 
advise them against cooperating with the authorities. Edwards Declaration at ¶ 5.

In and around September 2007, plea discussions took place between Jeffrey Epstein, 
represented by numerous attorneys (including lead criminal defense counsel Jay Leflcowitz), and

On about September 24, 2007, Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office reached an 
agreement whereby the United States would defer federal prosecution in favor of prosecution by 
the State of Florida. Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office accordingly entered into a "Non-
Prosecution Agreement" (NPA) reflecting their agreement. Most-signiffeentlyr  t The NPA gave 
Epstein a promise that he would not be prosecuted for a series of federal felony offenses 
involving the enticement into prostitution of a large number of minor girls. invoking-his 
seeual-abuse-ef-tnefe-thau-30-Fainer--girith The NPA instead allowed Epstein to plead guilty to 
two state felony offenses for solicitation of prostitution and procurement of minors for 
EFTA00191270
Sivu 8 / 132
prostitution. The NPA also set up a procedure whereby a victim of Epstein's sexual abuse could 
obtain an attorney representative to proceed with a civil claim against Epstein, provided that the 
victim agreed to proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 (iTe7 which provided that the-each 
victim would recover agreed-to-seek no mere less than $150,000 in damages against Epstein — 
an amount that Epstein argued later was limited to no more than $50,000). See Edwards 
Declaration, Exhibit "C" (copy of the non-prosecution agreement). The agreement was signed 
by Epstein and his legal counsel, as well as the U.S. Attorney's Office, on about September 24, 
2007. 
18. 
A provision in the non-prosecution agreement made the agreement confidential secret. In 
particular, the agreement stated: "The parties anticipate that this agreement will not be made part 
of any public record. If the United States receives a Freedom of Information Act request or any 
compulsory process commanding the disclosure of the agreement, it will provide notice to 
Epstein before making the disclosure." Pot enter-ing-into-suell-a-eanctdentiality-agreement, the

20. The Non-Prosecution Agreement that had been entered into between the U.S. Attorney's 
Office and Epstein was subsequently modified by an October 2007 Addendum and a December 
19, 2007, letter from the U.S. Attorney to Attorney Lilly Ann Sanchez. See Supplemental

On about August 14, 2008, Epstein's defense counsel told the U.S. Attorney's Office that they 
did not consider the December 19, 2007, letter to be operative. Id. 
21. 
In October 2007, shortly after the initial plea agreement was signed, Jane Doe #1 was 
contacted to be advised regarding the resolution of the investigation. On October 26, 2007, 
Special Agents E. Nesbitt Kuyrkendall and Jason Richards met in person with Jane Doe #1. The 
Special Agents explained that Epstein would plead guilty to state charges, he would be required 
to register as a sex offender for life, and he had made certain concessions related to the payment 
of damages to the victims, including Jane Doe #1. During this meeting, the agents explained 
that this would end the federal investigation of the case and no federal charges would be 
tiled. the-Speeiel-Agents-41€1-net-explain-thet-an-agreement-hed-alfeaely-been-signed-thet

notification letter explained: "I am writing to inform you that the federal investigation of Jeffrey 
Epstein has been completed, and Mr. Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office have reached an 
agreement containing the following terms . . .." The letter then went on to explain that Epstein

Attorney's Office never sent the proposed victim notification letter discussed in the previous

In about April 2008, Jane Doe #1 contacted the FBI because Epstein's counsel was 
attempting to take her deposition and private investigators were harassing her. Assistant U.S. 
Attorney A. Marie Villafana secured pro bono counsel to represent Jane Doe #1. Pro bono 
counsel was able to assist Jane Doe #1 in avoiding the improper deposition. AUSA Villafaila 
secured pro bono counsel by contacting Meg Garvin, Esq. of the the National Crime Victims' 
Law Center in Portland, Oregon, which is based in the Lewis & Clark College of Law. During 
the call, Ms. Garvin was not advised that a non-prosecution agreement had been reached. 
35. 
On May 30, 2008, another of Mr. Edwards's clients who was recognized as an a 
potential victim of Epstein victim by the U.S. Attorney's Office, received a letter from the FBI 
advising her that "fifhis case is currently under investigation. This can be a lengthy process and 
we request your continued patience while we conduct a thorough investigation." The statement

In mid-June 2008, Mr. Edwards contacted AUSA Villafaha to inform her that he 
represented Jane Doe #1 and, later, Jane Doe #2. Mr. Edwards asked to meet to provide 
information about the federal crimes committed by Epstein, hoping to secure a significant federal 
indictment against Epstein. AUSA Villafruia and Mr. Edwards discussed the possibility of 
federal charges being filed. At the end of the call, AUSA Villafaula asked Mr. Edwards to send 
any information that he wanted considered by the U.S. Attorney's Office in determining whether 
to file federal charges.

On Friday, June 27, 2008, at approximately 4:15 p.m., AUSA Villafafia received a copy 
of Epstein's proposed state plea agreement and learned that the plea was scheduled for 8:30 a.m., 
Monday, June 30, 2008. AUSA Villafafia and the Palm Beach Police Department attempted to 
provide notification to victims in the short time that Epstein's counsel had provided. Attorney 
Edwards was called to provide notice to his clients regarding the hearing. ALISA-Villefafio-did

Villafafia strongly encouraged Attorney Edwards and his client to attend and address the

On June 30, 2008, AUSA Villafafla sent an e-mail to Jack Goldberger, criminal defense 
counsel for Epstein, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit _.that-statedi-ti-Jaek-The

On July 3, 2008, Mr. Edwards sent to AUSA Villafafia a letter. See Affidavit of Bradley 
J. Edwards, Esq., at 15 (attachment 2). In the letter, Mr. Edwards indicated his client's desire 
that federal charges be filed against defendant Epstein. In particular, he wrote on behalf of his 
clients: "We urge the Attorney General and our United States Attorney to consider the 
fundamental import of the vigorous enforcement of our Federal laws. We urge you to move 
forward with the traditional indictments and criminal prosecution commensurate with the crimes 
EFTA00191278
Sivu 16 / 132
Mr. Epstein has committed, and we further urge you to take the steps necessary to protect our 
children from this very dangerous sexual predator." When Mr. Edwards wrote this letter, he was 
still unaware that a non-prosecution agreement had been reached with Epsteini.1 - a-feet-that

On July 9, 2008, AUSA Villafafta sent a victim notification to Jane Doe #1 via her 
attorney, Bradley Edwards. Edwards Declaration, Exhibit "H." That notification contains a 
written explanation of some of the terms of the agreement between Epstein and the U.S. 
Attorney's Office. A MI copy of the terms was not provided. A notification was not provided 
to Jane Doe #2 because the agreement limited Epstein's liability to victims whom the United 
States was prepared to name in an indictment. As a result, Jane Doe #2 never received a 
notification a letter about the agreement. The-rietifieation4id-net-nientieft-tlie-tieti-preseetttieft

41. On July 9, 2008, AUSA Villafafta filed a sworn declaration with the Court in connection 
with the case (doc. #14). The declaration purported to recount limit parts of the non-prosecution 
agreement and stated that "these provisions were discussed" with several victims, including Jane 
Doe #1. Id. at 4. 
42. 
On July 11, 2008, the Court held a hearing on Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2's Emergency 
Petition for Enforcement of Rights. During the hearing, the Government conceded that Jane Doe
