6 
1 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct. 
2 
THE COURT: Following the six months 
3 
sentence, the defendant will be placed on 
4 
12-months of community control one. The 
5 
conditions of the community control are 
6 
attached hereto and incorporated herein. 
7 
As a special condition of 
8 
community control, he's to have no 
9 
unsupervised contact with minors and the 
10 
supervising adult must be approved -- and I 
11 
would say, pre-approved, approved ahead of 
12 
time, not after the fact by the Department 
13 
of Corrections. And you would mean by that 
14 
his community control officer? 
15 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct. 
16 
THE COURT: The defendant is 
17 
designated as a sexual offender pursuant to 
18 
Florida Statute 943.0435 and must abide by 
19 
all the corresponding requirements of the 
20 
statute, a copy of which is attached hereto 
21 
and incorporated herein. The defendant 
22 
must provide a DNA sample in court at the 
23 
time of this plea. Is this the -- 
and the 
24 
attachments are the terms and conditions of 
25 
community control. There are some 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233369

7 
1 
squiggles on the bottom of the page, what 
2 
would those squiggles be? 
3 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Thank you, Your 
4 
Honor, those are my client's signature 
5 
acknowledging that we have gone over all 
6 
the conditions. 
7 
THE COURT: One page after the plea 
8 
sheet that really spells out the terms and 
9 
conditions of community control, Florida 
10 
Statute 948.101, Mr. Epstein, is that 
11 
squiggle at the bottom your squiggle? 
12 
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, ma'am. 
13 
THE COURT: Would those be your 
14 
initials? 
15 
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, ma'am. 
16 
THE COURT: Did you read all of that 
17 
page? 
18 
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, ma'am. 
19 
THE COURT: Can you read? 
20 
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, ma'am. 
21 
THE COURT: How far did you go in 
22 
school? 
23 
THE DEFENDANT: High school. 
24 
THE COURT: That's your highest 
25 
degree? 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233370

8 
1 
THE DEFENDANT: Yes. 
2 
THE COURT: And is this your 
3 
signature on the plea sheet that recites 
4 
the terms of the plea I just read? 
5 
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, ma'am. 
6 
THE COURT: Did you read that 
7 
document as well? 
8 
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, ma'am. 
9 
THE COURT: You understand once you 
10 
do your 12 months followed by your six 
11 
months all in the Palm Beach County jail 
12 
you will then be put on community control 
13 
which involves having an electronic monitor 
14 
attached to you and --
15 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Actually Your Honor, 
16 
the agreement of the parties is to, it's 
17 
community control one which is not monitor. 
18 
THE COURT: Oh, community control 
19 
one, is that spelled out in here? 
20 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Yes. 
21 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Yes, it is, Your 
22 
Honor. 
23 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: He does not fall 
24 
under the Jessica Lunsford Act which 
25 
requires the bracelet. 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233371

9 
1 
THE COURT: Community control two. 
2 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct. 
3 
THE COURT: Community control one --
4 
that would be no electronic monitor? 
5 
MR. GOLDBERGER: That is correct. 
6 
THE COURT: Now which of the terms 
7 
and conditions of community control one are 
8 
you incorporating? 
9 
MR. GOLDBERGER: I can go through 
10 
them with Your Honor. 
11 
THE COURT: None of the them appear 
12 
to be articulated in the plea sheet which 
13 
is why I'm asking. 
14 
MR. GOLDBERGER: These are the 
15 
standard conditions of community control by 
16 
statute would apply to anyone that goes on 
17 
community control and out of an abundance 
18 
of caution, we simply memorialized those 
19 
standard conditions in the plea sheet 
20 
agreement. 
21 
THE COURT: The Court shall require 
22 
intensive supervision and surveillance for 
23 
an offender placed on community control 
24 
which may include but is not limited to 
25 
specified contact with the parole and 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233372

10 
1 
probation officer, specified by who? 
2 
PROBATION OFFICER: Specified by you, 
3 
Your Honor. 
4 
THE COURT: I don't see that in the 
5 
plea sheet. That's why I'm asking the 
6 
questions. No one has specified how often, 
7 
how frequently he is to have contact with 
8 
his parole and probation officer. 
9 
Confinement to an agreed upon residence 
10 
during the hours away from employment and 
11 
public service activity, has that been 
12 
articulated? 
13 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: I believe 
14 
Judge McSorley has a standard order 
15 
somewhere on the bench up there regarding 
16 
this, I'm told by the prosecutor. 
17 
MS. LENHARDT: Judge, usually this is 
18 
the probation sheet she hands out to folks. 
19 
THE COURT: I have seen those 
20 
sheets -- I have seen them incorporated in 
21 
plea agreements which is why I'm asking. 
22 
MR. GOLDBERGER: I see. 
23 
THE COURT: Is there some reason you 
24 
didn't use this particular document in this 
25 
case? 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233373

11 
1 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: I didn't realize 
2 
until Ms. Lenhardt just told me that Judge 
3 
McSorley has that. 
4 
MR. GOLDBERGER: We'd be happy to 
5 
execute that document, Your Honor. We were 
6 
-- we overreacted by just having him sign 
7 
off on all conditions of community control. 
8 
THE COURT: Well, this is --
9 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Perhaps the better 
10 
practice would be --
11 
THE COURT: This is, the reason 
12 
Judge McSorley does this which makes 
13 
ultimate sense is we're going to be here 
14 
half the morning if we're going to decide 
15 
among ourselves now what the --
16 
MR. GOLDBERGER: That makes sense. 
17 
THE COURT: I'm not going to leave 
18 
this just unspecified. 
19 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: We can take care of 
20 
that right now if you could give us a few 
21 
minutes. 
22 
THE COURT: All right. 
23 
These are the standard conditions 
24 
that Judge McSorley normally uses. If you 
25 
like them, you need to circle the ones that 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233374

12 
1 
apply and everyone must initial them. We 
2 
will go over it. If you wish to change --
3 
you understand there is quite a bit of 
4 
latitude given the court in putting 
5 
somebody on community control. If you 
6 
agree to some change, let me know, but 
7 
understand at the outset that I'm a big fan 
8 
of specificity. I want to know what he 
9 
will be doing for employment. I want to 
10 
know exactly where he is going to be living 
11 
and I want it on the record now. It can 
12 
change but it can only change with 
13 
preapproval by DOC. I want it crystal 
14 
clear. I don't want the community control 
15 
officer who gets this case the day he walks 
16 
out the Palm Beach County to have any doubt 
17 
or confusion as to exactly what this 
18 
defendant is supposed to do, where he is 
19 
supposed to be when, exactly what I am 
20 
requesting that officer to supervise. 
21 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Absolutely. 
22 
THE COURT: Okay. 
23 
MR. GOLDBERGER: We will work on it. 
24 
Thank you, Your Honor. 
25 
THE COURT: We will recall that case. 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233375

13 
1 
(Brief recess.) 
2 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Your Honor, we are 
3 
back on Jeffrey Epstein, actually it 
4 
worked, we had an opportunity to go through 
5 
Judge McSorley's conditions of community 
6 
control and we asked the Department of 
7 
Corrections representative to assist us to 
8 
make sure we did everything properly. 
9 
They were very helpful and we executed the 
10 
document. 
11 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Yes, and Your Honor, 
12 
this defendant doesn't fall under the sex 
13 
offender probation but we have included 
14 
special sex offender conditions as part of 
15 
the community control and they are all 
16 
circled there. 
17 
THE COURT: The plea agreement stated 
18 
the defendant is designated as a sexual 
19 
offender pursuant to Florida Statute 
20 
942.035. 
21 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct. But the 
22 
sex offender probation, the statute is 
23 
different and only applies to certain 
24 
offenses and this one was not enumerated. 
25 
THE COURT: Okay. I want to make 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233376

14 
1 
sure both I and the defendant are clear. 
2 
The sexual offender statute you are 
3 
referring to in the plea sheet is the one 
4 
that requires registration? 
5 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct. 
6 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Correct. 
7 
THE COURT: And we will talk about 
8 
that. 
9 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Okay. 
10 
THE COURT: But it is not the one 
11 
that requires the special conditions of sex 
12 
offender probation? 
13 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct. 
14 
THE COURT: Now, rather than 948, do 
15 
you want me to disregard 948? He's read 
16 
it? 
17 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: He's read it. 
18 
THE COURT: We will leave it in 
19 
there. But these conditions we are going 
20 
to go over right now are going to be viewed 
21 
in my mind, yes, and they have been signed 
22 
by the defendant and we will go over that 
23 
in a second as a part of the whole plea. 
24 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct. 
25 
THE COURT: So circled are 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233377

15 
1 
conditions, A, you will remain confined to 
2 
your residence except one half hour before 
3 
and after your approved employment, 
4 
community service work or any other 
5 
activity approved by your probation 
6 
officer. 
7 
B, you will maintain an hourly 
8 
accounting of all your activities on a 
9 
daily log which you will submit to your 
10 
supervising officer upon request. 
11 
My understanding about the daily 
12 
log, maybe I'm just confused from other 
13 
cases I've heard, is the daily log is a 
14 
weekly log, I guess it is submitted ahead 
15 
of time, is that correct? 
16 
PROBATION OFFICER: That is correct, 
17 
Your Honor. 
18 
THE COURT: So part A, where he has 
19 
to stay in his residence except for one 
20 
hour before and after the approved 
21 
employment, community service work and 
22 
other activity. All that's information 
23 
that will be recorded in writing and the 
24 
defendant will have a copy and he will know 
25 
exactly where he is supposed to be when. 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233378

16 
1 
PROBATION OFFICER: That is correct, 
2 
Your Honor. 
3 
THE COURT: As will his supervising 
4 
probation officer. And then to document 
5 
that he's supposedly done all that he 
6 
himself will be keeping a daily log? 
7 
PROBATION OFFICER: That is correct, 
8 
Your Honor. 
9 
THE COURT: And the log form will be 
10 
provided by the department and he will be 
11 
turning that in every time he meets with 
12 
the probation officer? 
13 
PROBATION OFFICER: That is correct, 
14 
Your Honor. 
15 
THE COURT: Okay. So that applies 
16 
and F applies. Does E apply? No. 
17 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Did I circle E? 
18 
THE COURT: No. F -- made one up, 
19 
the defendant will be residing at 358 El 
20 
Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Florida, 33480. He 
21 
knows now that that's where he will be 
22 
living when he is released after his 12 
23 
months and six months. 
24 
MR. GOLDBERGER: That is correct, 
25 
Your Honor. 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233379

17 
1 
THE COURT: That's a private 
2 
residence? 
3 
MR. GOLDBERGER: That is his home. 
4 
THE COURT: Does he own the 
S 
residence? 
6 
MR. GOLDBERGER: He does, Your Honor. 
7 
THE COURT: Is there any possibility 
8 
that he no longer owns the residence? 
9 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Not anticipated, 
10 
Your Honor. 
11 
THE COURT: Okay. Should he not be 
12 
for whatever reason -- 18-months is a long 
13 
time, should he not be owning that 
14 
residence or able to reside there, he will 
15 
have the obligation of notifying his 
16 
probation officer prior, and I emphasize 
17 
this, prior to his release from custody. I 
18 
assume that the department will be notified 
19 
prior to, to his release? 
20 
PROBATION OFFICER: That is correct, 
21 
Your Honor. 
22 
THE COURT: And then you would need 
23 
to send someone to meet with him before he 
24 
walks out of the Palm Beach County jail and 
25 
verify his address and employment 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233380

18 
1 
information? 
2 
PROBATION OFFICER: That is correct. 
3 
THE COURT: All address -- I assume 
4 
all of this to and from work and any other 
5 
approved activities restricts him to Palm 
6 
Beach County, is that correct? 
7 
PROBATION OFFICER: That is correct, 
8 
Your Honor. 
9 
THE COURT: So let's be clear, 
10 
everything, from the day he walks out 
11 
occurs in Palm Beach County, is that clear? 
12 
MR. GOLDBERGER: We understand, Your 
13 
Honor. That's correct. 
14 
THE COURT: Then the additional 
15 
condition of his probation, they are not 
16 
sex offender standard conditions, they are 
17 
just conditions that are being imposed 
18 
especially in this case? 
19 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct. 
20 
THE COURT: They are as follows, you 
21 
shall submit to a mandatory curfew from 10 
22 
p.m. to 6:00 a.m. regardless of any other 
23 
restrictions regarding work or approved 
24 
activity, there will be no exceptions to 
25 
being at home in house from 10 p.m. to 6 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233381

19 
1 
a.m., is that correct? 
2 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Yes. 
3 
THE COURT: If the victim was under 
4 
age of 18 years which I gather is the case 
5 
because it's circled, you shall not live 
6 
within 1000 feet of a school, day care 
7 
center, park, playground or other place 
8 
where children regularly congregate. 
9 
Has someone verified that 358 El 
10 
Brillo is such a place? 
11 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: No, but that will be 
12 
done prior to his release. 
13 
THE COURT: So 358 El Brillo will not 
14 
be approved if it should happen to be one 
15 
thousand feet from a school, day care 
16 
center, park, playground or other place 
17 
this is rather open. 
18 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Where children 
19 
gather. 
20 
THE COURT: Where children regularly 
21 
congregate. 
22 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Right. 
23 
THE COURT: The Court knows 358 El 
24 
Brillo Way is a residential neighborhood, 
25 
are there areas there where children 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233382

20 
1 
regularly congregate? 
2 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: I personally do not 
3 
know. 
4 
THE COURT: Neither do I, which is 
5 
why I'm asking. Has that been 
6 
investigated? 
7 
MR. GOLDBERGER: We have done our due 
8 
diligence, for what it's worth, there is a 
9 
residential street. There are not children 
10 
congregating on that street. We think the 
11 
address applies, if it doesn't, we fully 
12 
recognize that he can't live there. 
13 
THE COURT: Okay. D is, you shall 
14 
not have any contact with the victim, are 
15 
there more than one victim? 
16 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: There's several. 
17 
THE COURT: Several, all of the 
18 
victims. So this should be plural. I'm 
19 
making that plural. You are not to have 
20 
any contact direct or indirect, and in this 
21 
day and age I find it necessary to go over 
22 
exactly what we mean by indirect. By 
23 
indirect, we mean no text messages, no 
24 
e-mail, no Face Book, no My Space, no 
25 
telephone calls, no voice mails, no 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233383

21 
1 
messages through carrier pigeon, no 
2 
messages through third parties, no hey 
3 
would you tell so and so for me, no having 
4 
a friend, acquaintance or stranger approach 
5 
any of these victims with a message of any 
6 
sort from you, is that clear? 
7 
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, ma'am 
8 
THE COURT: And then it states, 
9 
unless approved by the victim, the 
10 
therapist and the sentencing court. Okay. 
11 
THE DEFENDANT: I understand. 
12 
THE COURT: And the sentencing court. 
13 
So, if there is a desire which, I would 
14 
think would be a bit strange to have 
15 
contact with any of the victims the court 
16 
must approve it. 
17 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct. 
18 
THE COURT: If the victim was under 
19 
the age of 18, which was the case, you 
20 
shall not until you have successfully 
21 
attended and completed the sex offender 
22 
program. So, is this sex offender program 
23 
becoming a condition of probation? 
24 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: That is not. I 
25 
don't believe I circled that one. 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233384

22 
1 
THE COURT: You did. 
2 
MR. GOLDBERGER: That's a mistake on 
3 
our part. Actually the statute that he is 
4 
pleading guilty to does not require the 
S 
THE COURT: I understand that, but 
6 
you circled it. 
7 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: I apologize, that 
8 
one is not. He has already been in 
9 
treatment with a private psychiatrist. 
10 
THE COURT: Which you find to be an 
11 
adequate substitute for sex offender 
12 
program? 
13 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: I -- it is not 
14 
required and based upon the evaluation and 
15 
my contact with that doctor, I don't 
16 
believe it's necessary at this point. 
17 
THE COURT: Has that been -- I assume 
18 
you have a law degree and do not have a 
19 
Ph.D in a psychology or MD in psychiatry? 
20 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: That is correct, I 
21 
don't. 
22 
THE COURT: So it is just your 
23 
judgement --
24 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct. 
25 
THE COURT: -- that his treatment 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233385

23 
1 
with some fancy private psychiatrist or 
2 
psychologist in his case is okay? 
3 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: That is correct. 
4 
THE COURT: So you are not imposing 
5 
E? 
6 
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct. 
7 
THE COURT: F, if the victim was 
8 
under the age of 18, you shall not work or 
9 
play or as a volunteer in any school, day 
10 
care center, park, play ground or other 
11 
place where children regularly congregate, 
12 
is that understood? 
13 
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, ma'am. 
14 
THE COURT: Children will be defined 
15 
as anyone under the age of 18. There are a 
16 
lot of places where children regularly 
17 
congregate. What kind of work do you do? 
18 
THE DEFENDANT: Banking. 
19 
THE COURT: Here in Palm Beach 
20 
County? 
21 
THE DEFENDANT: Virgin Islands, 
22 
ma'am. 
23 
THE COURT: You understand you will 
24 
not travel from Palm Beach County for the 
25 
duration of this? 
PHYLLIS A. DAMES, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER 
EFTA00233386

24 
1 
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, ma'am. 
2 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Your Honor, I'm 
3 
sorry to interrupt, we do cover the 
4 
employment later in the agreement as to 
5 
what he is going to be doing during the one 
6 
year that he is on community control. 
7
