Name: Date: November 17, 2009 Mr. Epstein never threatened her. There was no issue of her being held against her will, kidnapped, specifically threatened, or physically or mentally coerced, other than has noted above. She reports that she understood that she was to lie about her age, take off some of her clothing, and give a massage to an adult male and that she did so because she wished to be compensated $200 for that service. She reports that she did not know that other girls had been touched until after she left the Epstein residence and that she was apprehensive and fearful during the time she was with Mr. Epstein, but was able to tell him no and to step away from him. 2. Demographics. saw Mr. Epstein on one occasion at age 16 as previously noted. Her parents divorced when she was four years of age and her mother subsequently remarried. She comes from a middle class socioeconomic environment. Her stepfather managed a Home Depot store, where her mother also worked. Problems ensued when the children of the respective parents merged into a single-family unit. Her mother and stepfather dated for eight years and married when she was 11.

She has used various marital aids, self-stimulates, has had digital anal contact with her boyfriend., has used chocolate body paint at age 18, and enjoyed dressing up in provocative outfits at age 18. She notes that she went "sex crazy" in the 11th grade and felt that she "needed to be with guys." She notes that she was sexually active because she felt it would hold men in relationships. Friends told her she was developing a bad reputation and she thought she was "losing" herself with drinking and sex. She felt ashamed of her sexual activity, but did not curtail it. She notes that her mother supported her decision to abort the pregnancy and she notes she did not feel ready to care for another human being at that time. III, the father of the child, was not interested in her having a child. One of her best friends, died in an automobile accident at age 20. Her death had a significant impact on-. She still becomes tearful when discussing it. She lost another close friend, In in an automobile accident when was 18. She suffered another loss when one of her previous boyfriends, MUM was murdered at a party. (She reported no significant losses to Dr. Kliman.) She received three speeding tickets for going at least 15 mph over the limit and was ticketed for underage drinking while living in M. She began using alcohol at age 17 and would consume eight shots and a couple of beers at a single sitting.

Name: Date: November 17, 2009 occasions at age 19 and reports she had good trips. She also used hallucinogenic mushrooms. Fier brother would hunt and find mushrooms and she arranged for him to sell them to people she knew. She also used nitrous oxide obtained from whippet inhalants and bought Xanax and Percocet on the street. She obtained Adderall without prescription approximately 10 times and felt euphoric when taking amphetamines. She would attend parties and participate in drinkinggames and reports that she hung out with a "red neck crowd," where there were frequent fights. After the patties, she would often have sex with participants in either their home or their car. She reports that she frequented a bad area of town and felt that she needed to carry a baseball bat under the front seat of her truck to defend herself. reports that she has always had problems with attention, concentration, persistence, and pacing herself and that she is easily sidetracked. She has difficulty making decisions and reports that she always has. She has difficulty planning, difficulty with task completion, and reports that she frequently gets angry and has episodes of road rage. All these symptoms, except the road rage, preceded her contact with Mr. Epstein. She reports she felt she had ADD since she was young. Treatment notes show OCD symptoms, which she reports started when she was in middle school, she believes. She notes that if things "weren't perfect," she would "freak out." The symptoms began after she had a myringotomy and tubes placed in her ears. The OCD required her to have everything in its place and she would become angry or upset if things were moved or disturbed. In addition, she would have to repetitively count and if interrupted, she could not go on with other conversations until completing a ritual. These symptoms preceded her contact with Mr. Epstein. She made a suicide attempt by overdose with hydrocodone and, on another occasion, she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Tennessee with statements that were construed as suicidal. "I wish I could die." She was held overnight. She believes she was 19 at the time. On another occasion, she reports she cut her arm with a knife because she wanted to "feel pain." Bipolar symptoms of euphoria were only associated with the use of Adderall and lasted only for the duration that the medication was usually effective. Her periods of racing thoughts were attributed to episodes of anxiety. 63 EFTA01076569

Name: Date: November 17, 2009 While reports no other episodes of sexual trauma other titan that which occurred with Mr. Epstein, records records) show that there were other sexual concerns. At age 18, she notes while in therapy "she has to keep her bedroom door locked or her older stepbrother ...tries to do `sexual stuff' with her. She reports she hates living at home, but can't afford to move out." She reported to Dr. Kliman that her stepfather had a terrible temper, that she was fearful of him, and that when he would return home angry, she would remain in her room to avoid him and his anger. She reports on one occasion her stepfather struck her in the face. Her father also had anger control issues and police records note that he threatened to kill the mother during the time of their divorce. She reports that she had thoughts that her stepfather might be looking at her sexually after her contact with Mr. Epstein. 3. Psychological reaction at the time of alleged trauma. reports that while she was with Mr. Epstein she was fearful, but she also notes that she was never specifically threatened, that she was able to advise him to cease behavior that she found unacceptable, and that she stepped away from him. She notes that she was angry that her friend had put her in that situation and she notes that she was tearful in the automobile when leaving the Epstein residence. She reports that after her contact with Mr. Epstein, she went on a "sexual extravaganza," began to think that her stepfather might have sexual interest in her, and began abusing multiple substances over a two-year period. She reports that she had sexual contact with approximately 35 people over a two-year period. There is a significant question as to whether these behaviors were caused by her one-time encounter with Mr. Epstein. Her therapist notes of 09/06/06 note the following "Does not feel she needs therapy for Epstein issue. Does not want to talk about it. Feels that it does not affect her in her life. She is unhappy at home. Feels home is very dysfunctional." During that visit she makes reference to her brother trying to do "sexual stuff" with her and her having to lock her door because she was fearful of him and his behavior. In addition, the family problems relate to her stepfather's temper and being displaced at home. She reports to Dr. Kliman that she was annoyed that her parents did not believe her when she reported the problems with inappropriate sexual behavior and was annoyed that it took similar behavior 64 EFTA01076570

Name: Date: November 17, 2009 with her sister to cause them to take action. She reports that she felt that she had symptoms of ADD with problems with attention and concentration, focus, and task completion prior to meeting Epstein and her OCD symptoms began while she was in middle school prior to meeting Epstein. Her home environment was tumultuous and records show that her mother and father were engaged in marital counseling. 4. Previous psychiatric/psvcholoaical histoty is not currently involved in psychological or psychiatric therapy. She reports she believes she had ADD as a child, but there are no specific records to substantiate that statement. She first entered therapy at age 18 with MS, a counselor who was also seeing her parents in marital therapy and perhaps individually. She saw Miss for about six months. Miss felt she was suffering from depression. Miss referred her to Dr. Agresti, a psychiatrist, for medication evaluation. Dr. Agresti started her on Prozac 10 mg, increasing to 20 mg, and made a trial with Zoloft, which she had to discontinue due to an allergic reaction. In addition, she received Ambien, Lamictal for mood stabilization, and Symbyax (Zyprexa and Prozac), an antipsychotic and antidepressant combination. Dr. Agresti felt she suffered from OCD, chronic depression, and a history of renal stones. Records note an episode of depression, perhaps beginning at 15 (report to Dr. Kliman); an overdose of seven pills of hydrocodone obtained following a wisdom tooth extraction, which was monitored by her mother but not taken to hospital; and an overnight admission to the Medical Center in Tennessee following a suicidal statement while arguing with her mother. There were episodes of self- cutting reported, which heightened concerns. There was one visit with a counselor in Richmond, Virginia at age 19. There is a positive family history for marital discord. Her mother was married on three occasions. Her mother has a past history of depressive disorder. She reports that her mother also suffered from ADD and anxiety attacks and was excessively controlling and fearful that would be kidnapped or leave the home and never come back. She notes that her father had anger control problems. "He was an angry guy." As a child, there was family discord because she did not accept her stepfather and his role in the family. She described herself as a passive person who always needed to please others. 65 EFTA01076571

Name: Date: November 17, 2009 She reports that she would often do things without thinking them through to please others. She notes that as a child (approximately age I I) she was concerned over frequent arguments in the house and a source of conflict focused on whose children were responsible for specific problems in the family. She notes that she would withdraw at that time, hang out with friends or go to her room to escape the arguments. She was worried about being "cool," fitting in with the other children, and being included. During her later adolescence, she considered herself a social butterfly. As noted, there were concerns of sexually inappropriate behavior by her brotherlii, who she found naked in her bed on one occasion and who would come into her room in the middle of the night and stare at her. She notes that on one occasion he was sexually inappropriate and touched her sister. As noted earlier, there were problems with polysubstance use and abuse, particularly from ages 17 through 19. 5. Previous victimization history. was fearful of sexual contact with her stepbrotheril. as noted earlier. 6. Current and previous psychological difficulties. Records show tha feels that she suffered from ADD, as did her mother, but there are no specific records to confirm this diagnosis in her. She has been diagnosed, as noted, with OCD and depression. Many of her psychiatric symptoms are clearly specifically related to substance abuse (alcohol: sexual acting out behavior and blackouts; marijuana: diminished motivation, anxiety, and memory disturbances; Adderall: racing thoughts and euphoric-like states; cocaine: anxiety and depression, etc.). reports that her mood has been average and that she sees anxiety as the major thing that differentiates her from other people at this time. She rates her anxiety at a 5 on a 1-10 scale, with average people rating their anxiety at 3, where 10 is worst possible. She reports that she is currently functioning well while working at her parents' restaurant. She has future goals of attending school to study health and fitness. She is currently maintaining a relationship with her boyfriend even though separated by distance. She reports that she is living with her parents and that they arc getting along well at this time. She is generally optimistic about the future. There is some insecurity. She has concerns about fidelity with her boyfriend, who is on the skateboard circuit and has opportunities to have contact with multiple 66 EFTA01076572

Name: Date: November 17, 2009 women, even though she doesn't believe that he is cheating on her. She reports that there is no suicidal ideation. There are no medical records to confirm any symptoms of PTSD, nor based on our current available information do we believe that she meets criteria for PTSD at this time. 7. General personality dynamic and cooing style. The MCMJ-Ill suggests a personality diagnosis of Dependent Personality Disorder with Depressive Personality Traits, Borderline Personality Features, and Histrionic Personality Features. It suggests that there is a moderate level of pathology, which characterizes her overall personality organization and that she has defective psychic structures and a failure to develop adequate internal cohesion with a less than satisfactory hierarchy of coping skills. There is ineffective intrapsychic regulation and socially acceptable interpersonal conduct. The test suggests that she is likely to precipitate self-defeating vicious cycles of behavior, but that she is usually able to function on a satisfactory basis. The profile suggests that she is characterologically sad, markedly dependent, docile, self-effacing, and sees herself as ineffectual. She is dejected, tense, unable to function autonomously, and is especially vulnerable to separation anxieties and fears of desertion. (Her mother suffered from anxiety and was fearful that would be injured or kidnapped when she was a child. Her mother was overprotective brfluse of that.) There was a fear of abandonment and a loss of independence and self-assertion. The test suggests she may subordinate her personal desires to others and may submit to abuse and intimidation to avoid abandonment. She feels it is best to abdicate responsibility, leave matters to others, and place her fate in others' hands. She feels others are better equipped to shoulder responsibility than she is. The test shows a pattern of rapidly changing moods that shift erratically from normalcy to depression to excitement and chronic feelings of dejection and apathy interspersed with brief spells of anger, euphoria, and anxiety. The intensity of her affect and changeability of her actions are striking. dependent personality disorder is manifested by a pervasive and excessive need to be taken care of that leads to submissive and clinging behavior and fears of separation. This behavior may be a direct result of the interactions she had with her mother as a child. Her mother was fearful that she would be lost or kidnapped. The mother's excessive fear may have been internalized and subsequently produced a fear of separation and anxiety in the child. This behavior pattern usually 67 EFTA01076573

Name: Date: November 17, 2009 begins by early adulthood and is present in a variety of context. Her dependent and submissive behaviors are designed to elicit caregiving and arise from a self-perception of being unable to function adequately without the help of others. MIlltotes that while growing up there were concerns in the family about who was responsible for conflict in the home, whether she had import, whether her parents would listen to her and accept what she said as truthful, and whether they would protect her (i.e., from her stepbrother MIsexual advances). Individuals with this personality disorder often have difficulty making everyday decisions and need excessive advice and reassurance from others. They tend to be passive and allow other people to take the initiative and assume responsibility for most major areas in their life. They typically depend on parents or spouses to decide where they should live, what kind of job they should have, which neighbors to befriend, etc. They have difficulty expressing disagreement with other people, especially those upon whom they are dependent. They feel so unable to function alone that they may agree with things that they feel are wrong rather than risk losing the help of those who they look to for guidance. They don't express normal anger for fear of alienating those upon whom they depend. They often have difficulty initiating projects and doing things independently and lack self-confidence. They wait for others to accomplish things, feeling that others can generally do them better. They are convinced that they are incapable of functioning independently and seek dependent relationships, often by engaging with members of the opposite sex. MIMI reports that she was sexually active because she thought that was what boys expected and required if they were to maintain a relationship with her.) They often function adequately if given the assurance that someone else is supervising and approving of them. They often fear becoming more competent, as they fear responsibility, failure, and subsequent abandonment Because they rely on others to solve their problems, they often do not learn the skills of independent living, thus perpetuating their dependency. They go to obsessive lengths to obtain nurturance and support from others, even to the point of volunteering for unpleasant tasks or placing themselves in a poor light. They are willing to submit to what others want, even if the demands are unreasonable. They need to maintain an important bond and this need often causes an unbalanced and distorted relationship. They may make extraordinary self-sacrifices or tolerate verbal, physical or sexual abuse. They tag along with others just to avoid 68 EFTA01076574

Name: Date: November 17, 2009 being alone. When a close relationship ends, such as with the breakup of a lover or the death of a friend, they may urgently seek other relationships to provide the care and support they need, often throwing themselves into desperate situations. They believe that they are unable to function in the absence of close relationships and this often motivates them to become quickly involved and indiscriminately attached to other individuals. This was certainly the case described by MEI They see themselves as only functioning and being secure if there is another person in their lives upon whom they can depend. They often feel that they are totally dependent on the advice and help of the other important person in their life and they constantly worry of being abandoned by that person, even when there are no grounds to justify such fears. continually worries about whether her boyfriend will be unfaithful and abandon her. These individuals are characterized by pessimism and self-doubt, belittle their own abilities, have poor self-image and concept, diminish their own assets, and may refer to themselves as stupid. They take criticism and disapproval as proof of their worthlessness and often lose faith in themselves. They may seek overprotection or dominance from others. Occupational functioning is often impaired if independent initiative is required. They may have difficulty in school, where they have to make independent study decisions, such as in college. They may avoid positions of responsibility and often become anxious when faced with decisions. Social relationships are often limited to those few people upon whom they can be dependent. There is an increased risk of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and adjustment disorders in individuals with this personality. Dependent personality disorder often coexists with other disorders, especially borderline personality, avoidant personality, and histrionic personality. Separation anxiety in childhood or adolescence may predispose to the development of this disorder. This was clearly the case with NM. Dependent personality disorders are among the most frequently reported personality disorders encountered in mental health clinics in this country. 8. Sociocultural factors. has an extensive history of drug use and abuse. She grew up in a chaotic home environment, where she was fearful of her stepfather's anger.

Name: MEM Date: November 17, 2009 that she might be kidnapped or, if she left home, that she might not return. She felt socially inadequate at times and tried to compensate for this by becoming a "social butterfly," but was continually worried that others may reject her or disapprove of her, especially if she said no. She performed adequately in high school, but had difficulty in college, where more independence was required. She described a chaotic family background, where she would withdraw to her room as a child, fearing the stepfather's anger. She had difficulty accepting her stepfather and felt that the family did not support her. There were times when she was fearful of sexual contact from her stepbrother, who had cerebral palsy. She was concerned that her complaints and concerns were not heard by the parents until similar complaints were made by her sister. She reports at least one episode where her stepfather struck her in the face. She had difficulty facilitating her autonomy and self-directed behavior. Her mother came from a background of inconsistent relationships with males and was married three times. MEI had early sexual contact, with the fast intercourse at age 15. She described a "sexual extravaganza" during later adolescence, when she was intimate with approximately 35 males. We note that individuals with dependent personality disorder often engage in multiple sexual contacts to maintain relationships. =IS reported that she felt she needed to be sexually active so that boys would accept her. There is an extensive history of drug use and abuse. Many of her more significant symptoms may be related to PANDA syndrome (pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infection). We note that had bilateral myringotomies and tubes placed in her ears. Such treatment is usually employed when children have repetitive earaches and streptococcal oropharangeal infections. Eighty percent of children with PANDA syndrome have obsessive-compulsive disorder and 50% have ADHD, both of which are reported to have occurred in-. Other neuropsychiatric symptoms commonly associated with PANDA include emotional lability; oppositional behavior; separation anxiety, which was significant in her case; bedtime rituals, which were reported; phobias; and a deterioration in mathematical skills and handwriting. We note that had considerable difficulty with mathematics. (She had a C in Algebra I in the 9th grade first and second semesters, Bin Algebra,' in the 11th grade first semester, and F during the 11th grade second semester. During her senior year, she received a D in liberal arts mathematics.) 70 EFTA01076576

Name: Date: November 17, 2009 She reports current improvement with her OCD, which is also characteristic of this condition, as OCD of PANDA often improves with age rather than deteriorate. Tics that occur in approximately 12% of the children with this syndrome are usually transient and have estimated onset prevalence of only 1- 2%. PANDA patients who have ADD/ADHD and/or OCD often have courses that are complicated by either aggressive or disruptive symptoms or social or academic failure. Current mood and anxiety disorders often aggravate the course of the condition. With PANDA syndrome, tics, if they occur, usually begin at around age 7 or 8. Exacerbations occur days to months after the onset of the streptococcal infection. As noted, up to 12% of children may have tic syndromes; the remainder do not. The interval between first streptococcal infection and the appearance of symptoms may be weeks to months, but subsequent infections have shorter intervals between the infection and symptoms' exacerbation, often only a few days or weeks. PANDA can be triggered by simple exposure to people with streptococcal infections, but without apparent clinical symptoms until the appearance or exacerbation of the neuropsychiatric syndrome. Teasing, shame, self-consciousness, and social ostracism are common features in patients with predominantly internalizing comorbidities where antisocial or criminal outcomes may be manifestations with prominent externalizing cormorbidity. Some of these patients show reluctance to involve themselves in socially demanding situations, particularly if their symptoms are perceived by themselves to be socially disfiguring. During childhood and adolescence, they may be avoidant of contact and they may avoid long-term intimate relationships, marriage, or other interpersonally gratifying activities. Children with PANDA often present with ADD, ADHD, conduct disorder, OCD, or learning disorders. There is often a positive family history for ADD, ADHD, OCD, or streptococcal-related illnesses. Children are often self-conscious, sensitive to being teased or socially ostracized. They often have concurrent mood or anxiety disorders. The condition is often made worse by family psychopathology and stressors. The condition can be diagnosed by analyzing antibodies to streptococcal enzymes, streptolysin o, and DNase B. Throat and nasopharangeal swabs at the time confirm an acute infection. Monoclonal 71 EFTA01076577

Currently, atypical antipsychotic medications produce 60-80% improvement. Clonidine is helpful in approximately 50% of these patients. Guanfacine, an alpha 2 adrenergic receptor agonist, has also been found effective. IMIllreports she had her adenoids removed when she was in the 6th grade and notes that her OCD began in middle school, which would be entirely compatible with a relationship to streptococcal infection. 9. Level of emotional support. describes coming from a family with poor emotional support. Her parents divorced. Her mother remarried. There were seven children in the family. She felt that the family did not accept her fears and concerns as they related to her brother as realistic and felt the need to withdraw to her room to protect herself from violent family arguments and her stepfather's unstable temper. She was fearful of being sexually abused by her brother and felt that these concerns went unrecognized and unsupported until her sister made similar complaints. There was a history of family instability, impaired child/parent relationships, and parental adjustment difficulties with her mother and stepfather seeking therapy. Her mother had trouble with separation from her and was excessively fearful, a behavior that may well have learned. Her brother was involved in the sale of hallucinogenic drugs. She sought peer support through social interactions, but was fearful of not going along with the expectations of others.

Name: Date: November 17. 2009 SPECIFIC QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED: Estimate impact of involvement with Jeffrey Epstein as a causative factor in symptoms and behavior, Although it is impossible to provide an exact figure as to the impact that the contact with Mr. Epstein has had, after reviewing all factors in life and her extensive history, we believe that she did react emotionally to the contact she had with Mr. Epstein at the time. Her dependent personality disorder, which we believe existed when she saw Mr. Epstein, would have made it more difficult for her to say no and her report that she felt apprehensive, we believe, is creditable. There are discrepancies in her recounting of her family history and dynamic given to different reviewers. Her report suggests that her symptoms of difficulty with attention, concentration, focus, ability to maintain tasks, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive behavior and thoughts preexisted contact with Mr. Epstein. Her increased substance use and abuse and sexual excesses are more consistent etiologically with her dependent personality disorder and the need to please and be accepted by others, particularly young males, than by any reaction to her 30-minute contact with Mr. Epstein. Her concerns that her stepfather might see her as a sexual object, however, may be related to the contact with Epstein. It is more creditable that her fear of abandonment and mistrust of males are related to her dependent personality disorder than to the specific occurrence with Epstein. Her mood dysregulation, impaired motivation, and some of her anxiety and depression, as well as what were seen as potentially bipolar symptoms, we believe are clearly substance related. She reports that she was partying every night, looking for alcohol and to become inebriated. She abused amphetamines, hallucinogens, marijuana, cocaine, other narcotics, minor tranquilizers, and inhalants. In addition, we believe that her unstable home, difficult relationship with her stepfather, fear of her father and stepfather's anger, and fear that she might be sexually abused by her stepbrother-, who suffered from cerebral palsy, were other important factors. We note her report to her therapist that she did not believe that the episode with Mr. Epstein was significant in producing her symptoms and that she related her symptoms at the time to conflict in her family environment. All these factors, within a reasonable medical certainty, have had a more profound impact on her than the contact with Epstein. 73 EFTA01076579
