12/06/07 THU 15:23 PAX JAYP.LEFKOVATZ,ESQ. DECEMBER 6, 2007 PACE 2 OF 4 EXECUTIVE OFFICE any past or future delay. Mr. Epstein currently has fan• Florida Bar members on his defense team, so attorney scheduling is not an adequate basis for delay. Three weeks ago lalso asked you to provide our Office with the terms of the Plea Agreement with the State Attorney's Office. It is now more than two months since the signing of the Non- Prosecution Agreement and we havo yet to see any tonna! agreement, or evcna list of essential terms of such an agreement. Next, let me address your allegation that attorneys in our office and agents of tho FBI have leaked information to the press in an effort to affect possible civil litigation with Mr. Epstein. This is untrue. There has been no contact between any member of the press and any employee of our office or the FBI since you incorrectly accused investigators of telling 'Vanity Fair" about Mr. Starts employrbent by Mr. Epstein several months ago. We intend to continue to refrain from commenting or providing information to the press. We would ask that your client and all of his representatives do the same. I also want to address your interpretation of several statements that were included in correspondence — at your insistence— as proof that the designated victims have invalid claims. Let me make clear that each of the listed individuals are persons whom the Office identified as victims as defined in Section 2255, that is, as persons "who, while a minor, was a victim of a violation of section ... 2422 or 2423 of this title." In other words, the Office is prepared to indict Mr. Epstein based upon Mr. Epstein's "interactions" with these individuals) This conclusion is based upon a thorough and proper investigation — one in which aom of the victims was informed of any right to receive damages of any amount prior to the investigation of het claim. The Office agrees that it is not a party to, and will not take a role in, any civil litigation, but the Office can say, without hesitation, that the evidence demonstrates that each person on the list was a victim ofMr. Epstein's criminal behavior. Mr. Stair's letter also suggests that the number of victims to whom Mr. Epstein is exposed by the Agreement is limitless. As you know, early drafts of the Agreement contained a numerical limit of40 victims, which was removed at your request. The Office repeatedly confumed that the number would not exceed 40; and the list is significantly shorter than that. Once the list is provided to you, if you have a good faith basis for asserting that a victim never met Mr. Epstein, we remain willing to listen and to modify the list if you convince us of your position. Finally, let me address your objections to the draft Victim Notification Letter. You write that you don't understand the basis for the Office's belief that it is appropriate to notify the victims. Pursuant to the "Justice for All Act of 20047crime victims arc entitled to: "The right to reasonable, accurate, and timely notice of any public court proceeding ... involving the crime' and the "right 'Unlike the State's investigation, the federal/ investigation shows criminal conduct by Mr. Epstein at least as early as 2001, so all of the victims were minors at the time of the offense. a003 EFTA01089293

Section 3771 also commands that "employees of the Department of Justice . engaged in the detection, investigation, or prosecution ofcrime shall make their best efforts to see that crime victims are notified of, and accorded, the rights described in subsection (a)." 18 U.S.C. § 3771(cXl). Additionally, pursuant to the Victims' Rights and Restitution Act of 1990, our Office is obligated to "inform a victim of any restitution or other relief to which the victim may be entitled under this or any other law and [thej manner in which such relief may be obtained " 42 U.S.C. § 10607(cX1)03). With respect to notification of the other information that we propose to disclose, the statute requires that we provide a victim with the earliest possible notice of: the status of the investigation; the filing of charges against a suspected offender; and the acceptance of a plea. 42 U.S.C. § 10607(c)(3). Just as in 18 U.S.C. § 3771, these sections are not limited to proceedings in a federal district court. Our Non-Prosecution Agreement resolves the federal investigation by allowing Mr. Epstein to plead to a state offense. The victims identified through the federal investigation should be appropriately informed, and our Non-Prosecution Agreement does not require the U.S. Attorney's Office to forego its legal obligation With respect to your assertion that we are seeking to "federalize" the state plea, our office is simply informing the victims of their rights. It does not command than to appear at the hearing or to file a victim impact statement. In t recommends the sending of any statement to the State Attorney's Office so that can determine which, if any, statements are app., up, late to file with the Court Next, you assert that our letter mischatactetizes Mr. Epstein's obligation to pay damages to the victims. To avoid that suggestion, I have asked AUSA Villafaila to simply quote the terms of the Agreement directly into the Notification Letter. We also have no objection to referring to Mr. Epstein as a "sexual offender tether than a "predator." We have no objection to using the conjunction "and/of' in relaxing to the particular offense(s) of which the recipient was a victim. We will not include the language that we take no position as to the validity of any claims. While the Office has no intention to take any position in any civillitigation arising between Mr. Epstein and any individual victim, as stated above, the Office believes that it has proof beyond a reasonable doubt that each listed individual was a victim of Mr. Epstein's criminal conduct while the victim was a minor. The law requires us to treat all victims "with fairness and with respect for the victim's dignity and privacy." 18 U.S.C. §3771(aXn We will not include any language that demeans the harm they may have suffered. The let ' .ons regarding representation by the Podhurst Sinn and Mr. losefsberg are accurate. conferred with Messrs.

The most recent version of the statute referenced above, 18 U.S.C. § 2255, provides that: Any person who, while a minor, was a victim of a violation of section... 2422 or 2423 of this title and who suffers personal injury as a result of such violation, regardless of whether the injury occurred while such person was a minor, may sue in any appropriate United States District Court and shall recover the actual damages such person sustains and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee. Any person as described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than $150,000 in value.' Section 2422 prohibits the use of a facility of interstate commerce to induce minors to engage in sexual activity and prostitution, and section 2423 prohibits interstate travel for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity or prostitution with minors. The United States has identified 34 victims as defined by this statute. The United States takes no position as to the validity of any such claim under this statute. Due to the circumstances of the case and the number and caliber of the attorneys who represent Mr. Epstein, in selecting the victims' attorney representative, the United States suggests that you consider the following criteria: .

As explained in the July 9 Declaration and in Court presentations related to this
matter, the resolution of the federal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein included a series of
documents: (I) a September 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement ("Part 1"); (2) an October
2007 Addendum ("Part 2"); and (3)a letter dated December 19, 2007, from the U.S. Attorney

Case 9:08-cv-8O736-KAM Document 35 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/22/2008 Page 2 of 4 4. On July 9, 2008, your Affiant sent a victim notification letter to Jane Doe #1, which contained pertinent language from "Part 3" of the Agreement (Ex. 6 to the July 9 Decl.). 5. Prior to preparing and sending that letter, your Affiant sent a draft of the letter to counsel for Jeffrey Epstein. On July 9, 2008, Mr. Epstein's attorney wrote to your Affiant objecting to parts of the draft, but accepting the part of the draft letter that contained the language from "Part 3" of the Agreement. Based upon that communication, your Affiant sent the victim notification letter to Jane Doc 41 and attached it to your Affiant's July 9,2008 Declaration. 6. Although copies of all of the victim notification letters, including the one addressed to Jane Doe #1, were provided to Mr. Epstein's attorney, and despite the fact that counsel for Mr. Epstein filed a copy of your Affiant's July 9, 2008 Declaration in some of the civil suits filed against Mr. Epstein, none of Mr. Epstein's attorneys ever informed your Affiant that they considered the language in the letters and the Declaration to be inaccurate. 7. In August 2008, in anticipation that the Court might order the United States to make the Agreement available to the victims, the United States sought to confirm that counsel for Mr. Epstein had filed the complete Agreement under seal with the State Court at the time of the entry of his guilty plea to the State charges, to insure that an exact copy of that Agreement would be provided in this case, should the Court order its production.
