Victim-1, the Dog appears to be consistent with Victim-I's description of observing a taxidepuied 
dog in the Subject Premises. 
e. 
Inside the Subject Premises, I observed in plain view several sheets of statippary, 
with letterhead marked "Jeffrey Epstein." 
13. 
After observing the foregoing items, the Search Team stopped the search and froze 
the scene in order to seek a new search warrant. 
HI. Conclusion and Ancillary Provisions 
14. 
Based on the foregoing, given. that several items described by Victim-1 as being 
present in the Subject Premises in 2005 appear to be currently in the Subject Premises, 
I respectfully submit there is probable cause to believe that evidence of the Subject Offenses., and 
in particular the items described in Attachment A, 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. 
15. 
The Search Team is currently at the Subject Premises, securing the location, and 
would anticipate executing the requested search warrant immediately. However, given the late 
hour, it is anticipated that the Search Team would commence executing the search warrant after

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
