being duly sworn, deposes and says: 
I. Introduction 
A. Affiant 
1. 
I have been a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") since 
2017. During that time, I have participated in numerous investigations and prosecutions of crimes 
against children, including the sex trafficking of minors. I have also participated in the execution 
of multiple search warrants. 
2. 
I make this Affidavit in support of an application pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal 
Rules of Criminal Procedure for a warrant to search the premises specified below (the "Subject 
Premises") for the purpose of photographing, video-recording or otherwise documenting the 
appearance of its interior, and to seize the items and information described in Attachment A. This 
affidavit is based upon my personal knowledge; my review of documents and other evidence; and 
my conversations with other law enforcement personnel. Because this affidavit is being submitted 
for the limited purpose of estabJiching probable cause, it does not include all the facts that I have 
learned during the course of my investigation. Where the contents of documents and the actions, 
statements, and conversations of others are reported herein, they are reported in substance and in 
part, except where otherwise indicated.

B. The Subject Premises 
3. 
The Subject Premises are particularly described as a nearly 19,000 square foot 
multi-story, single-family residence located at 9 East 71st Street, New York, New York, and 
include all locked and closed containers found therein. As detailed further herein, the Subject 
Premises is believed to be owned, possessed and controlled by JEFFREY EPSTEIN, a target 
subject of this investigation. A photograph of the front entrance to the Subject Premises is included 
below: 
C. The Target Subject and the Subject Offenses 
4. 
The Target Subject of this investigation is JEFFREY EPSTEIN. 
5. 
For the reasons detailed below, I believe that there is probable cause to believe that 
the Subject Premises contain evidence, fruits, and instrumentalities of violations of Title 18, United 
States Code, Section 1591 (sex trafficking of minors) and Title 18, United States Code, Section 
371 (sex trafficking conspiracy) (the "Subject Offenses") by the Target Subject.

IL Probable Cause 
A. Probable Cause Regarding the Target Subject's Commission of the 
Subject Offenses 
6. 
On or about July 2, 2019, a grand jury in this District returned an Indictment 
charging JEFFREY EPSTEIN with the Subject Offenses. A copy of the Indictment is attached 
hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated by reference. 
B. Probable Cause Justifying Search of the Subject Premises 
7. 
As set forth in Exhibit A, from at least in or about 2002, up to and including at least 
in or about 2005, JEFFREY EPSTEIN sexually abused multiple minor girls in the Southern 
District of New York and elsewhere. During that time and continuing to the present, EPSTEIN 
possessed and controlled the Subject Premises, which is described in Exhibit A as "the New York 
Residence." 
8. 
As further set forth in paragraphs 8 through 10 of Exhibit A, from at least in or 
about 2002, up to and including at least in or about 2005, EPSTEIN sexually abused numerous 
minor victims at the Subject Premises. In particular, and as alleged in the Indictment, when a 
victim arrived at the Subject Premises, she would be escorted to a room inside the Subject Premises 
with a massage table, where she would perform a massage on EPSTEIN. The victims, who were 
as young as 14 years of age, were told by EPSTEIN or other individuals to partially or fully undress 
before beginning the "massage." During the encounter, EPSTEIN would escalate the nature and 
scope of physical contact with his victim to include, among other things, sex acts such as groping 
and direct and indirect contact with the victims' genitals. EPSTEIN typically would also 
masturbate during these sexualized encounters, ask victims to touch him while he masturbated, 
and touch victims' genitals with his hands or with sex toys. Following each encounter, EPSTEIN 
or one of his employees or associates paid the victim in cash. 
3 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00164748
Page 5 / 24
9. 
As set forth in paragraphs 12 through 13 of Exhibit A, to further facilitate his ability 
to abuse minor girls in New York, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, asked and enticed certain 
of his victims to recruit additional minor girls to perform "massages" and similarly engage in sex 
acts with EPSTEIN. When a victim would recruit another minor girl for EPSTEIN, he paid both 
the victim-recruiter and the new victim hundreds of dollars in cash. EPSTEIN knew that his 
victims were underage, including because certain victims told him their age. 
10. 
One of the victims identified in paragraph 22 of Exhibit A is Victim-1. As part of 
the FBI's investigation of EPSTEIN, other law enforcement officers and I have interviewed 
Victim-1.I I know from my personal participation of interviews with Victim-1, my conversations 
with other law enforcement officers who have interviewed Victim-1, and my review of notes and 
reports of other interviews with Victim-1 that Victim-1 has provided the following information, in 
substance and in part: 
a. Between approximately 2002 and 2005, EPSTEIN sexually abused Victim-1 on 
multiple occasions in the Subject Premises. This sexual abuse all occurred when Victim-1 was 
under the age of 18. 
b. During that same period, Victim-1 observed multiple floors of the Subject Premises 
and numerous individual rooms within the Subject Premises. Victim-1 has provided detailed 
descriptions of certain aspects of the interior of the Subject Premises, including Victim-1's

has also disclosed personal substance abuse, primarily involving the abuse of prescription drugs,

Information provided by Victim-1 has proven reliable and has been corroborated by independent 
evidence, including documents and records obtained during the investigation and the accounts of 
other victims whom Victim-1 has never met

EFTA00164749
Page 6 / 24
memory of specific details regarding the layout, fiunishings, decorations, and floor pattern of 
various areas within the Subject Premises. 
11. 
I know from my review of publicly available corporate and property records that at 
all times relevant to the Subject Offenses as alleged in the Indictment, the Subject Premises was 
owned by Nine East 71st Street Corporation (the "Corporation"). The President of the Corporation 
is listed as JEFFREY EPSTEIN, and no other officers or occupants are identified on the 
Corporation paperwork. In or around December 2011, the Subject Premises was transferred from 
the Corporation to another corporate entity, Maple, Inc., which is registered in the U.S. Virgin 
Islands, where EPSTEIN was then known to and continues to reside. Though no officer of Maple, 
Inc., is identified in the transfer paperwork, the signature of both the buyer and seller in the 
transaction appear to be the same. Moreover, the deed lists the consideration for the transfer of 
the Subject Premises as $10, an amount facially inconsistent with a fair market transfer to a third 
Party. 
12. 
I know from my participation in this investigation that EPSTEIN has continued to 
possess and control the Subject Premises from at least in or about 2002 to the present. In particular, 
I know from my review of Sex Offender Registration records that EPSTEIN presently lists the 
Subject Premises as one of his residences. Moreover, as described in paragraph 11, above, 
although ownership of Subject Premises was transferred from one corporate entity to another in 
December 2011, both corporations appear to be under EPSTEIN's control, and EPSTEIN appears 
to remain the sole owner and occupant of the Subject Premises. 
13. 
Additionally, although Victim-1 has not been in the Subject Premises since in or 
around 2005, based on my review of publicly available records maintained by the New York City 
Department of Buildings ("DOB"), it does not appear that there have been any significant or 
5 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00164750
Page 7 / 24
structural renovations to the interior of the Subject Premises since that time. In particular, the 
DOB reflects only three approved alteration permits for the Subject Premises, one in or around 
2011 which authorized facade restoration but expressly noted that there would be "no change to 
occupancy, use egress or bulk," and two permitting the "installation of heavy duty sidewalk shed" 
outside of the Subject Premises at various points, but similarly noting that there would be "no 
changes in use, egress or occupancy." As such, while it is possible that certain interior decorations 
have changed since 2005, it is probable that structural components of the interior, such as 
Victim-1's description of the layout of rooms and floors, among other details, would remain the 
same.

THE HONORABLE BARBARA MOSES 
UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 
III. Conclusion and Ancillary Provisions 
14. 
Based on the foregoing, I respectfully submit that there is probable cause to believe 
that photographing, video-recording, and otherwise documenting the appearance of the interior of 
the Subject Premises, and seizing the items described in Attachment A, will yield evidence of the 
Subject Offenses. In particular, evidence depicting the interior of the Subject Premises and 
reflecting the occupancy, ownership, layout, furnishings, decorations, and floor pattern of the 
Subject Premises will corroborate Victim-1's account of EPSTEIN's commission of the Subject 
Offenses. I further submit that there is probable cause to believe that such evidence will be located 
within the Subject Premises and therefore request the court to issue a warrant to seize the items 
and information specified in Attachment A to this affidavit and to the Search and Seizure Warrant.

SEALED 
INDICTMENT 
19 Cr. 
19 CRIM 490 
COUNT ONE 
(Sex Trafficking conspiracy) 
The Grand Jury charges: 
OVERVIEW 
1.  As set forth herein, over the course of many 
years, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, sexually exploited and 
abused dozens of minor girls at his homes in Manhattan, New 
York, and Palm Beach, Florida, among other locations. 
2. 
In particular, from at least in or about 2002, up 
to and including at least in or about 2005, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the 
defendant, enticed and recruited, and caused to be enticed and 
recruited, minor girls to visit his mansion in Manhattan, New 
York (the "New York Residence") and his estate in Palm Beach, 
Florida (the "Palm Beach Residence") to engage in sex acts with 
him, after which he would give the victims hundreds of dollars 
in cash. Moreover, and in order to maintain and increase his 
supply of victims, EPSTEIN also paid certain of his victims to 
recruit additional girls to be similarly abused by EPSTEIN. In 
EFTA00164755
Page 12 / 24
this way, EPSTEIN created a vast network of underage victims for 
him to sexually exploit in locations including New York and 
Palm Beach. 
3. 
The victims described herein were as young as 14 
years old at the time they were abused by JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the 
defendant, and were, for various reasons, often particularly 
vulnerable to exploitation. EPSTEIN intentionally sought out 
minors and knew that many of his victims were in fact under the 
age of 18, including because, in some instances, minor victims 
expressly told him their age. 
4. 
In creating and maintaining this network of minor 
victims in multiple states to sexually abuse and exploit, 
JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, worked and conspired with 
others, including employees and associates who facilitated his 
conduct by, among other things, contacting victims and 
scheduling their sexual encounters with EPSTEIN at the New York 
Residence and at the Palm Beach Residence. 
FACTUAL BACKGROUND 
5. 
During all time periods charged in this 
Indictment, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, was a financier with 
multiple residences in the continental United States, including 
the New York Residence and the Palm Beach Residence. 
6. 
Beginning in at least 2002, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the 
defendant, enticed and recruited, and caused to be enticed and 
2 
EFTA00164756
Page 13 / 24
recruited, dozens of minor girls to engage in sex acts with him, 
after which EPSTEIN paid the victims hundreds of dollars in 
cash, at the New York Residence and the Palm Beach Residence. 
7. 
In both New York and Florida, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, 
the defendant, perpetuated this abuse in similar ways. Victims 
were initially recruited to provide "massages" to EPSTEIN, which 
would be performed nude or partially 'nude, would become 
increasingly sexual in nature, and would typically include one 
or more sex acts. EPSTEIN paid his victims hundreds of dollars 
in cash for each encounter. Moreover, EPSTEIN actively 
encouraged certain of his victims to recruit additional girls to 
be similarly sexually abused. EPSTEIN incentivized his victims 
to become recruiters by paying these victim-recruiters hundreds 
of dollars for each girl that they brought to EPSTEIN. In so 
doing, EPSTEIN maintained a steady supply of new victims to 
exploit. 
The New York Residence 
8. 
At all times relevant to this Indictment, JEFFREY 
EPSTEIN, the defendant, possessed and controlled a multi-story 
private residence on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, 
i.e., the New York Residence. Between at least in or about 2002 
and in or about 2005, EPSTEIN abused numerous minor victims at 
the New York Residence by causing these victims to be recruited 
to engage in paid sex acts with him. 
EFTA00164757
Page 14 / 24
9. 
When a victim arrived at the New York Residence, 
she typically would be escorted to a room with a massage table, 
where she would perform a massage on JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the 
defendant. The victims, who were as young as 14 years of .age, 
were told by EPSTEIN or other individuals to partially or fully 
undress before beginning the "massage." During the encounter, 
EPSTEIN would escalate the nature and scope of physical contact 
with his victim to include, among other things, sex acts such as 
groping and direct and indirect contact with the victim's 
genitals. EPSTEIN typically would also masturbate during these 
sexualized encounters, ask victims to touch him while he 
masturbated, and touch victims' genitals with his hands or with 
sex toys. 
10. In connection with each sexual encounter, JEFFREY 
EPSTEIN, the defendant, or one of his employees or associates, 
paid the victim in cash. Victims typically were paid hundreds 
of dollars in cash for each encounter. 
11. JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, knew that many of 
his New York victims were underage, including because certain 
victims told him their age. Fuither, once these minor victims 
were recruited, many were abused by EPSTEIN on multiple 
subsequent occasions at the New York Residence. EPSTEIN 
sometimes personally contacted victims to schedule appointments 
at the New York Residence. In other instances, EPSTEIN directed 
4 
EFTA00164758
Page 15 / 24
employees and associates, including a New York-based employee 
("Employee-1"), to communicate with victims via phone to arrange 
for these victims to return to the New York Residence for 
additional sexual encounters with EPSTEIN. 
12. Additionally, and to further facilitate his 
ability to abuse minor girls in New York, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the 
defendant, asked and enticed certain of his victims to recruit 
additional girls to perform "massages" and similarly engage in 
sex acts with EPSTEIN. When a victim would recruit another girl 
for EPSTEIN, he paid both the victim-recruiter and the new 
victim hundreds of dollars in cash. Through these victim-
recruiters, EPSTEIN gained access to and was able to abuse 
dozens of additional minor'girls. 
13. In particular, certain recruiters brought dozens 
of additional minor girls to the New York Residence to give 
massages to and engage in sex acts with JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the 
defendant. EPSTEIN encouraged victims to recruit additional 
girls by offering to pay these victim-recruiters for every 
additional girl they brought to EPSTEIN. When a victim-
recruiter accompanied a new minor victim to the New York 
Residence, both the victim-recruiter and the new minor victim 
were paid hundreds of dollars by EPSTEIN for each encounter. In 
addition, certain victim-recruiters routinely scheduled these 
5 
EFTA00164759
Page 16 / 24
encounters through Employee-1, who sometimes asked the 
recruiters to bring a specific minor girl for EPSTEIN. 
The Palm Beach Residence 
14. In addition to recruiting and abusing minor girls 
in New York, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, created a similar 
network of minor girls to victimize in Palm Beach, Florida, 
where EPSTEIN owned, possessed and controlled another large 
residence, i.e., the Palm Beach Residence. EPSTEIN frequently 
traveled from New York to Palm Beach by private jet, before 
which an employee or associate would ensure that minor victims 
were'availahle for encounters upon his arrival in Florida. 
15. At the Palm Beach Residence, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the 
defendant, engaged in a similar course of abusive conduct. 
When a victim initially arrived at the Palm Beach Residence, she 
would be escorted to a room, sometimes by an employee of 
EPSTEIN's, including, at times, two assistants ("Employee-2" and' 
"Employee-3") who, as described herein, Were also responsible 
for scheduling sexual encounters with minor victims. Once 
inside, the victim would provide a nude or semi-nude massage for 
EPSTEIN, who would himself typically be naked. During these 
encounters, EPSTEIN would escalate the nature and scope of the 
physical contact to include sex acts such as groping and direct 
and indirect contact with the victim's genitals. EPSTEIN would 
also typically masturbate during these encounters, ask victims 
EFTA00164760
Page 17 / 24
to touch him while he masturbated, and touch victims' genitals 
with his hands or with sex toys. 
16. In connection with each sexual encounter, JEFFREY 
EPSTEIN, the defendant, or one of his employees or associates, 
paid the victim in cash. Victims typically were paid hundreds 
of dollars for each encounter. 
17. JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, knew that certain 
of his victims were underage, including because certain victims 
told him their age. In addition, as with New York-based 
victims, many Florida victims, once recruited, were abused by 
JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, on multiple additional 
occasions. 
18. JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, who during the 
relevant time period was frequently in New York, would arrange 
for Employee-2 or other employees to contact victims by phone in 
advance of EPSTEIN's travel to Florida to ensure appointments 
were scheduled for when he arrived. In particular, in certain 
instances, Employee-2 placed phone calls to minor victims in 
Florida to schedule encounters at the Palm Beach Residence. At 
the time of certain of those phone calls, EPSTEIN and Employee-2 
were in New York, New York. Additionally, certain of the 
individuals victimized at the Palm Beach Residence were 
contacted by phone by Employee-3 to schedule these encounters. 
7 
EFTA00164761
Page 18 / 24
19. Moreover, as in New York, to ensure a steady 
• 
stream of minor victims, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, asked 
and enticed certain victims in Florida to recruit other girls to 
engage in sex acts. EPSTEIN paid hundreds of dollars to victim-
recruiters for each additional girl they brought to the Palm 
Beach Residence. 
STATUTORY ALLEGATIONS 
20. From at least in or about 2002, up to and 
including in or about 2005, in the Southern District of New York 
and elsewhere, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, and others known 
and unknown, willfully and knowingly did combine, conspire, 
confederate, and agree together and with each other to commit an 
offense against the United States, to wit, sex trafficking of 
minors, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section.
1591(a) and (b). 
21. It was a part and object of the conspiracy that 
JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, and others known and unknown, 
would and did, in and affecting interstate and foreign commerce, 
recruit, entice, harbor, transport, provide, and obtain, by any 
means a person, and to benefit, financially and by receiving 
anything of value, from participation in a venture which has 
engaged in any such act, knowing that the person had not 
attained the age of 18 years and would be caused to engage in a

• commercial sex act, in violation of Title 18, United States 
Code, Sections 1591(a) and (b)(2). 
Overt Acts 
22. In furtherance of the conspiracy and to effect 
the illegal object thereof, the following overt acts, among 
others, were committed.in the Southern District of New York and 
elsewhere:
