1 Mr. Epstein?
2 A The Palm Beach Police Department in March of
3 2005 initiated an investigation on Mr. Epstein involving
4 multiple underage females that had visited Mr. Epstein's
5 residence and had performed sexual massages or massages
6 for Mr. Epstein of a sexual nature.
7 Mr. Epstein paid the underage females anywhere
8 from 200 to 5400, that investigation was around an 8 to
9 10-month investigation, and at that point we became
10 involved in about July of 2006.
11 Q And once the case was presented to you by the
12 Palm Beach Police Department did the FBI open its own
13 investigation?
14 A Yes, yes, we initiated our investigation in
15 July of 2006, we took a look at focusing in on the
16 underage minors and in our investigation we interviewed
17 many of the girls that were underage and we did an
18 independent investigation issuing Grand Jury subpoenas
19 as well as administrative subpoenas getting different
20 documents of financial records, telephone analysis,
21 flight manifests, looking to see if Mr. Epstein engaged
22 in sexual activity with these females.
23 Q All right. And just so the Grand Jury is
24 clear, were some of the girls who went to Mr. Epstein's
25 house 18 or older?
