INTRODUCTION 
This memorandum seeks approval for the attached Request for Authorization to Apply for

in connection with the ongoing investigation named "Operation Leap Year."

The investigation originally focused on the first three assistants who traveled with 
Epstein to Florida. Upon interviewing two identified New York victims, we determined that the 
last two assistants, Groff and Steen, arranged most of Epstein's New York massages.

In the most recent draft of the Indictment, we have listed

as unindicted 
coconspirators which will make it easier to introduce their statemen

Depending on 
testimony, we may need to treat her similarly. 
III 
THE NEED FOR THE WITNESSES' TESTIMONY AND THE REQUESTED 
IMMUNITY. 
The most difficult part of this prosecution will be proving the knowledge and intent of the 
targets. For example, 
could assert that she knew that she was setting up massages for Epstein, 
but she believed that they were regular massages. All of the targets arc likely to aver that they did 
nut know that the girls were under the age of 18. 
helps us with this proof in several ways. 
First, she was victim whom we believe became invo v 
with Epstein when she was only fourteen 
years' old, and her you 
n help disprove lack of knowledge by Epstein and his assistants. 
Second, we believe that 
was a significant recruiter for Epstein, so she will be able to tell us 
what instructions she received from him and the assistants regarding the types of girls to recruit, what 
was expected of them, etc. Third, she provides us with a strong entrée into the New York situation, 
which strengthens the "interstate commerce" nexus of the case. Fourth, 
is likely to have 
dealt most closely with Epstein's New York assistants, Groff and Steen. 
e es way to strengthen 
our case at this point is to "flip" one of the assistants, and Groff is the most likely to flip if we have 
sufficient evidence to charge her. Steen is another potential cooperator, but we have heard from 
another witness that Steen had done something to upset Epstein and he "shipped her off' to the 
Middle East to work for one of his companies there. 
The U.S. Attorney's Manual recommends prosecuting witnesses in a situation such as this 
and getting their cooperation as part of a plea bargain. Our evidence against 
at this time is

the assistants (we have not identified 
cell phone number during the relevant period). Thus, 
the likelihood of succeeding on sue a prosecution is very small. Furthermore, a decision to 
prosecute Lacerda could result in a refusal by many more girls to come forward because the majority 
of the identified girls brought other girls to Epstein, so all of them would feel at risk.

Why Immunity is Necessary to the Public Interest State Facts. Epstein is believed to have engaged In 
sexual activity with at least 36 girls ranging In age from 14 to 18 years old. This activity occurred over 
a two-year period and some girls were contacted as many as 60 times. To prosecute successfully 
Epstein and his assistants, we man prove that Epstein and the assistants intended that Epitein engage 
in this sexual activity before he traveled to the Southern District of Florida or returned to New York, 
certain charges, that he knew or reasonably should have known that the girls were under 18. 
, who was both a victim and a "recruiter," is in the best position to testify regarding those 
in en ions.
