(USAFLS) Cc: Brad Edwards Subject: Motion to Make Our Pleading Available to the Public - Government Position Dear and We are writing to inquire about the government's position on a motion that we will be filing on March 18 along with our "summary judgment" motion. As you know, the summary judgment motion will contain quotations from e-mails that are under the magistrate judge's order requiring prior notice to the court before they are disclosed. Accordingly, on March 18, we will be filing a full, unredacted summary judgment motion under seal with Judge Marra and, for the public PACER file, a summary judgment motion with quotations from the e-mails redacted. We will be filing simultaneously a motion for with the court for unsealing of the unredacted motion. We will provide (at least) three ground for unsealing. First, the confidentiality order was only based on an agreement to give advance notice to Epstein before using materials. Once advance notice has been given, there is no basis for confidentiality. Second, there is truly world-wide interest in the handling of the Epstein prosecution, and so our pleading should not remain under seal — instead the public should have access to it so that they can assess how this case was handled. Third, keeping the pleading under seal complicates the ability of Jane Does' attorneys to consult with victims' rights specialist about how best to proceed in the case. We are writing to determine the Government's position on our motion to unseal the redacted pleading so that we can include that position in our motion. We hope that you will not oppose the motion, which might produce the need for further litigation. As you know, Judge Marra has promptly unsealed other pleadings in this matter when the Government tried to object. Sincerely, Paul Cassell Co-Counsel for Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 EFTA00206275

The Guardian, a London paper, is running articles and alluding to FBI reopening its case. Prince big mistake: Humiliated Duke of York vows to end friendship with billionaire paedophile • Duke now said to recognise friendship was 'unwise' • Former Scotland Yard royalty protection chief: 'Prince is bringing the royal family into disrepute' Mistake: The duke has cut ties with the disgraced billionaire Mistake: The duke has cut ties with the disgraced billionaire Prince has promised to sever his controversial links with child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Duke of York has finally admitted that meeting the disgraced billionaire recently was 'unwise' and has ruled out further visits to the Florida mansion where Epstein sexually exploited underage girls. In a warning that may have come from the Queen, the duke's aides have advised him that his continued association with the paedophile risked damaging the reputation of the monarchy. Now the humiliated duke, the fourth in line to the throne, has backed down and cut ties with Epstein, 58, in the hope that he can draw a line under the sordid association. An impeccably-placed source said yesterday: 'The duke recognises now that the meeting in December 2010, after Epstein's conviction, was unwise.' It was not clear last night if , a UK trade envoy, has acted before fresh revelations about the friendship are made public. Earlier this week, in a rare move, his conduct was raised on the floor of the House of Commons. But, whatever the motivation, his decision to sever ties with an old friend is a tacit admission that he has got it wrong with his choice of friends.

From: (SMO) Sent: Mon March 07, 2011 5:18 PM To: , (USAFLS) Subject: Jeffrey Epstein , Is your office handling this matter? A WSJ reporter is trying to get more information. The Justice Department is investigating Jeffrey Epstein for child trafficking, The Daily Beast has learned—and has widened the scope of its probe to include a famous modeling agency. Hedge-fund manager Jeffrey Epstein completed his sentence for soliciting prostitution with a minor last week. But it appears his problems may not be over. Now The Daily Beast has learned that: • Federal investigators continue to investigate Epstein's activities, to see whether there is evidence of child trafficking—a far more serious charge than the two in his non-prosecution agreement, the arrangement between Epstein and the Department of Justice allowing him to plead guilty to lower-level state crimes. Trafficking can carry a 20-year sentence. • The FBI is also investigating Epstein's friend Jean Luc Brunel, whose MC2 modeling agency appears to have been a source of girls from overseas who ended up on Epstein's private jets. Under the concept of double jeopardy, Epstein can no longer be prosecuted for any of the charges covered by his non-prosecution agreement, in which he agreed to serve a short term of incarceration, fund the civil suits of named victims, and register as a sex offender. The victims who accepted cash settlements in these civil suits agreed not to testify against him or speak publicly about the case. However, new evidence developed by the Department of Justice on other offenses not covered by the agreement, including allegations by additional victims who come forward, could lead to new charges. There is no statute of limitations in the federal sex-trafficking law, which was also enacted by the state of Florida in 2002. Because his predatory habits stretch back many years and involved dozens of young-looking girls, there may well be more evidence to uncover. (Several young women who claim to be Epstein victims have recently contacted a Ft. Lauderdale lawyer, but to date no new civil complaints have been filed.) These new developments come one week after the publication of two articles in The Daily Beast about Epstein's pattern of sexual contact with underage girls, which Palm Beach police began investigating in 2005 and the U.S. Attorney's office then settled in a 2007 plea deal. The first article quoted a EFTA00206284
Page 113 / 340
deposition by then-Palm Beach Chief of Police Michael Reiter, in which he stated that Epstein, a billionaire with many powerful friends, had received special treatment in both his plea deal and the terms of his incarceration. Although federal investigators at one point produced a draft 53-page indictment against Epstein, he was eventually allowed to plead guilty to only two relatively minor state charges and receive a short term of incarceration: 13 months in the county jail, during which he went to the office every day, and one year of community control, during which he traveled frequently to New York and his private island in the Virgin Islands. The Daily Beast has now discovered another instance in which Epstein apparently received special consideration: As a convicted sex offender, he is required by law to undergo an impartial psychological evaluation prior to sentencing and to receive psychiatric treatment during and after incarceration. This is because child molesters tend to be repeat offenders with high rates of recidivism. According to a source in law enforcement, however, Epstein was allowed to submit a report by his private psychologist, Dr. Stephen Alexander of Palm Beach, Florida, whose phone has since been disconnected with no forwarding information. The Daily Beast's second article provided details about Epstein's systematic abuse of underage girls at his Palm Beach mansion, where members of his staff allegedly recruited and paid a parade of teenagers, most of them 16 or younger, to perform daily massages that devolved into masturbation, groping, and sometimes full-blown sexual contact. It also revealed a monetary relationship between Epstein and Jean Luc Brunel, a frequent visitor to whom he gave $1 million around the same time that Brunel was starting his MC2 modeling agency. Some of the young girls MC2 recruited from overseas -often from Eastern Europe and South America—are known to have been passengers on Epstein's private jets. The U.S. Attorney General's Office in Florida says that it is against policy to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation. Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer, Jack Goldberger, says he has no knowledge of an ongoing probe, and he told The Daily Beast, "Jeffrey Epstein has fully complied with all state and federal requirements that arise from the prior proceedings in Palm Beach. There are no pending civil lawsuits. There are not and should not be any pending criminal investigations, given Mr. Epstein's complete fulfillment of all the terms of his non-prosecution agreement with the federal government."

United States - March 1, 2011 Conference Call with Cassell and MI, At 11:30 a.m. today, M, =, and I spoke with Paul Cassell and Brad Edwards on a conference call regarding the posture of the case. told them we had spoken with officials at the DOJ, and the government was not going to stand by the sidelines and allow the victims to litigate the impropriety of negotiating the non-prosecution agreement without consulting the victims. We told Cassell we were going to defend the government's actions. At this point, Cassell said they only wanted us to stand by the sidelines if the court determined that rights attached in the absence of a charging document. This was not my recollection of what was discussed on February 10. In any event, I told him the government believed the court was without authority to set aside the non-prosecution agreement, even if it found a violation of the CVRA. Cassell said our position was that the right to consult was a right without a remedy. I said yes, in our situation involving a non-prosecution agreement. He argued that in In Re Dean the Fifth Circuit found that the plea agreement could be set aside. I told Cassell that a plea agreement comes before the court for approval, but a non-prosecution agreement is not subject to judicial pre-approval. EFTA00206287
Page 116 / 340
We then began talking about information the victims wanted from the government. Cassell tried to analogize the victims as criminal defendants, entitled to information helpful to their cases, just like a defendant is entitled to exculpatory and impeachment information. I disagreed. The right of a criminal defendant to obtain exculpatory and impeachment information is based on the due process clause, which does not apply to our civil litigation. Cassell then suggested we should try to cooperate, and provide helpful information in our possession. When we told him we were not obligated to do that, Edwards asked if it would be alright to address their inquiries directly to the United States Attorney. I told him they were free to do so, as the United States Attorney was a public official. I expect you will be receiving a letter soon seeking access and disclosure of information pertaining to C.W. and T.M. Edwards said he would be sending us a draft statement of facts and their legal memorandum in the next few days. Cassell again mentioned the letters written by and others, expressing the view that the CVRA applied to the victims. I told them that such factual admissions did not create a legal duty, where one does not otherwise exist. If we had written a hundred letters stating no duty existed without a charging document, I don't think the victims would be voluntarily dismissing their case. While Cassell denied they were seeking to make our office look bad, he also said he believed it relevant that the court know about what was going on between the U.S. Attorney's Office and Epstein's attorneys, as well as the correspondence between the FBI and this Office, telling the victims of their rights under the CVRA. In previous phone conferences, he has suggested this office engaged in duplicity by telling victims they had rights under the CVRA, but negotiating the non-prosecution agreement without consulting with them.

If adult (pimp) pays a minor, to have sex with another adult (say transaction was negotiated in Fla or other state in the US), and minor has sex with another adult (not pimp) outside the US, is that considered a crime in Fla and the US? Secondly, can "pimp" be prosecuted in fla or other US state for paying minor to have sex with other adult outside US?

I told Conchita that I cannot answer her questions and that she should be posing those uestions to the attorney for her newspaper, not to me. I told Conchita that you would call her. Her number is Anyhow, here is a copy of the Daily Mail story and a copy of a story that appeared in today's Palm Beach Daily News that just reiterates the Daily Mail story. In terms of what you can say, I would run it past and MI but just that the prior administration decided to defer prosecution in favor of prosecution by the State, which had originally opened the case. One important point of fact, which probably cannot be disclosed, is that refused to cooperate with the FBI investigation at the time, although in the article she states that she told everything to the FBI.
