CONFIDENTIAL: TO BE OPENED BY ADDRESSEE ONLY 
The Honorable Wifredo A. Ferrer 
United States Attorney 
Southern District of Florida 
99 N.E. 4th Street 
Miami, Florida 33132 
Dear Mr. Ferrer: 
On December 16, 2010, Assistant United States Attorney 
forwarded to the Office 
of Professional Responsibility (OPR) a letter you received from Professor Paul Cassell, S.J. Quitmey 
College of Law of the Uni 
sity of Utah. 
s letter, Mr. Cassell alleged misconduct by your 
8 -Zeta 
°flit in the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein for federal sex offenses. OPR has completed its inquiry 
into Mr. Cassell's allegation that "improper influences" on the USAO resulted in the decision to 
enter into a non-prosecution agreement with Mr. Epstein foregoing federal charges. 
Many of the statements made by Professor Cassell in support of his allegation have been 
raised in litigation on behalf of victims under the Crime Victim's Rights Act in Jane Doe #1 and 
Jane Doe#2 v. United States, Case No. 08-80736-Civ-Marra/Johnson (S.D. Fla.). Those statements 
include that: Jeffrey Epstein is a politically-connected billionaire; that the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation was not informed of the non-prosecution agreement; that victims were deceived about 
the non-prosecution agreement; and that a former Assistant United States Attorney had a conflict

i n

of interest when he represented an associate of Mr. Epstein. OPR has jurisdiction to investigate 
allegations of misconduct involving Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys or law enforcement

personnel that relate to the exercise of an attontek,tauthority to investigate, litigate or provide legal 
advice. It is, however, the policy of this Office to refrain from investigating issues or allegations 
that were addressed or that could have been addressed in the course of litigation, unless a court has 
made a specific finding of misconduct by a DOJ attorney or law enforcement personnel or there are 
present other extraordinary circumstances. 
Based on our review of Professor Cassell's 
correspondence, and the pleadings filed in the Doe case, we have determined that his allegation falls 
into this category. No court has made a finding of misconduct and there are no extraordinary 
circumstances. 
With respect to Professor Cassell's statements that Mr. Epstein may have had advance/ 
knowledge of an impending search warrant during the investigation, and that he has been denied 
discovery te-whielthefeels-entitled in civil litigation by victims for-rmagesbem Mr. Epstein, we 
have determined that these statements do not warrant further inquiry and we consider this matter to 
be closed. 
Sincerely, 
Counsel

Dear 
and Ruth, 
As you will have seen, Bruce Reinhard has filed a motion to intervene In our Crime Victims' Rights Act case. 
(Since Ruth has not been served, I attach a copy of the pleading to this e-mail). 
As you will see, Reinhard claims that we have no factual basis for making an assertion that (for example) 
Reinhard Improperly represented 
In violation of Justice Department regulations. 
In view of this motion, we are writing to inquire into the current status of the Justice Department's inquiry into 
Reinhard's conduct. 
We also believe that the Justice Department has access to information that will support the allegations in our 
summary judgment motion. We further believe that the Justice Department has access to information that will help us la_ 
respond to Reinhard's claim that he was not privy to any non-public information about the Epstein case. We are 
ne#0604/ 
therefore respectfully requesting that the Justice Department provide this information to us by Tuesday, May 10, 2011,

so that we can use this information in responding to Reinhard's motion to intervene. Alternatively, if releasing the 
Information at this time will be harmful to the Justice Department's on-going Inquiry Into Reinhard's conduct, we 
request that the Justice Department inform Judge Marra that the Reinhard situation is currently the subject of a Justice> 
Department inquiry and that further release of information would be harmful at this time. 
We request an opportunity to discuss this matter with you at your earliest convenience. Thank you in advance 
for your assistance.

HI Ruth, 
Thanks for getting back to me. I was confused about one point — my letter to U.S. Attorney Ferrer requesting further 
investigation of the Epstein matter didn't appear to me to raise any issues that even arguably could have been raised in 
litigation. So I was a bit confused by the reference to that complication in your e-mail — I wasn't sure what you were 
suggesting might have been the subject of earlier litigation. 
Perhaps you were referring to Crime Victims Rights Act issues. As you know, we have raised claims in on-going litigation 
that the government attorneys violated the Crime Victims Rights Act -- the government attorneys have now responded 
by arguing that these issues are not properly subject to litigation and the issue is under review by Judge Marra. But we 
were asking OPR for a general review of the issue of whether improper influences were brought to bear or improper 
actions taken that led to Epstein receiving a generous "non-prosecution' offer from the U.S. Attorney's Office — a 
separate subject. 
Thanks for keeping us posted. Paul Cassell

Paul, your complaint is under review. Please note that it is unusual for OPR to initiate an investigation of matters that 
have been or could be raised in litigation. If we determine based on the record in the pending matter that this is the 
case, we most likely will decline to go forward. Of course, if a court makes a finding criticizing the government or finding 
misconduct, the complaint can be renewed, We will let you know the results of our review.

Subject Referral of Cassell Request for Investigation 
Ruth, 
Attached please find an e-mail from Paul Cassell, regarding his anticipated filing of a motion for summary judgment in 
this Crime Victims Rights Act case. In December, he sent the U.S. Attorney's Office a letter requesting an investigation 
into alleged improprieties in the negotiation of a non-prosecution agreement with Jeffrey Epstein. That request was 
forwarded to OPR on December 16, 2010. 
Cassell has been pressing me for the name of the person conducting any investigation. I declined to provide him your 
name, until I cleared it with you first. Does OPR have a policy about providing complainants the names of the 
investigating attorneys? If not, shall I just refer Cassell to the OPR general phone number? Thanks.

Subject: RE: Government's Position on Several Pending Issues? Still Waiting for Answer 
Dew =, 
Brad and I have received/Mr. Ferrers,letter of today. We are deeply disappointed. We will file our court pleadings on 
Friday. 
Mr. Ferrer's letter still leaves unanswered a number of questions, which I am writing to raise with you -- again. 
1. You still have not provided, as you promised you would, the name of the person coordinating the OPR 
investigation. As a result we have not been able to obtain any information about the status of the 
investigation. Just to be clear, we intend to include in our filing infonnatio 
has begun an 
investigation and to include the information that we currently have about rice Reinha — we assume 
that making that information public will not compromise OPR's work. 
2. We will be making initial disclosures to you under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure shortly. We 
have not heard back front you on whether you will be making parallel disclosures. Accordingly, we 
understand your position to be that you are not obligated to provide to us any documents under Rule 26. 
3. We understand your position to be that, despite the "best efforts" clause in the CVRA and your 
obligation to treat victims with fairness, you can withhold evidence from the victims that will help them 
prove CVRA violations. For example, we understand you to take the position that you can withhold the 
other half of the C1.S. Attorney's correspondence, correspondence between the Department and Ken 
08-80736-CZ-MARRA 
P-013952

Starr and Lillian Sanchez on behalf of Epstein, and information about Bruce Reinhart's role in the 
Epstein case. In short. we understand you to be asserting a blanket position that you can withhold 
information that will help prove the victims' CVRA case. If this is incorrect, please advise us promptly. 
If we have misunderstood you and you are willing to provide us relevant information, we will promptly 
provide you with a list of such information. If we have understood you correctly, we will be filing a 
motion with the Court shortly to block the Justice Department from suppressing such highly relevant 
information. 
4. You still have not given us your position on the victims' motion to file an unsealed. unredacted pleading 
reciting the U.S. Attorney's correspondence. What is your position on that motion: We have been 
asking for your position on this motion for some time now. if we have not heard back from you by 
c.o.b. Wednesday, March 16, 2011, we will include in our pleadings the following statement; "The 
Justice Department attorneys handling this case have been contacted several times for their position on 
this issue but have refused to respond to give their position." 
Thanks you in advance for your assistance. Sincerely, Paul Cassell, Co-Counsel for Jane Doe

BTW, the Epstein matter rings a bell with me — I believe there was a self-referral when his attorneys accused AUSAs of 
misconduct, something to do with choosing an attorney for a victim who was a friend of the AUSA I think. It was an

Ruth, 
In 2006, the Palm Beach Police Department began investigating allegations that Jeffrey Epstein, a multi-
millionaire investor living in Palm Beach, was enticing underage girls into prostitution. 
Epstein was alleged to 
have paid underage girls to provide him with massages, while the young girls were unclothed. 
The case was 
referred to the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office, and the FBI began its own investigation. 
Epstein hired a 
number of highly-paid attorneys, including Alan Dershowitz and Kenneth Starr, to attempt to stave off criminal 
charges. 
Ultimately, in 2007, Epstein was charged in state court with soliciting minors for prostitution. 
In September 
2007, the U.S. Attorney's Office entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement with Epstein, in which he agreed 
to plead guilty to the state criminal charge, and serve a sentence of 18 months. Epstein also agreed that, in 
any civil action under 18 U.S.C. 2255 by the underage victims, he would not raise the lack of a federal sex 
offense as a defense. 
In July 2008, Epstein plead guilty, and was sentenced to serve six months at the Palm 
Beach County Detention Facility, followed by 12 months in home detention. 
In July 2008, after the Non-Prosecution Agreement had been executed, two victims, TM and CW, filed an 
action under the Crime Victims Rights Act (CVRA), 18 U.S.C. 3771. 
They claimed that the government was 
obligated, under 18 U.S.C. 3771(a)(5), to speak with the victims prior to the execution of the Non-Prosecution 
Agreement. 
An emergency hearing was held on July 11, 2008, before U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra. 
Since Epstein had entered his state court plea and been sentenced already, the court found there was no 
emergency. He directed the parties to meet and determine if there were any factual disputes and whether 
an evidentiary hearing would be necessary. 
Attorney Brad Edwards initially represented the victims. Soon, he was joined by Paul Cassell, a University of 
Utah law professor, and former federal judge who served in the District of Utah from 2002-2007. Cassell is a 
victims' rights advocate who has appeared in many cases throughout the United States. 
The victims' rights 
suit was inactive for the next two years, with Edwards and Cassell using the civil suit as a means to attempt to 
gain access to information helpful in their civil actions for damages against Epstein. 
They were able to obtain 
a copy of the Non-Prosecution Agreement through the civil litigation.

P-013954 
EFTA00230472
Page 37 / 51
In August 2010, the district court, noting that the last civil suit had been settled, entered an order closing the 
case. 
Edwards and Cassell immediately filed documents with the court, advising that the case should not be 
closed or dismissed, and they wanted to pursue final action by the court. 
Since September 2010, AUSA 
=land 
I have been dealing with Cassell and Edwards on how to resolve the case. 
They claim the 
victims had a right to be consulted prior to the execution of the Non-Prosecution Agreement, and that we 
violated the CVRA by not consulting them. The remedy they seek is a set aside by the court of the Non-
Prosecution Agreement, and a prosecution of Epstein. 
On December 10, 2010, United States Attorney Wifredo A. Ferrer, First Assistant la 
BM 
and I, met with Cassell, Edwards, and CW, one of the victims. 
We discussed the posture of the

I am at the NAC today. I will be going on my Christmas vacation starting tomorrow, December 17. I can be
