TO BE FILED UNDER SEAL 
Agent Affidavit in Support of 
Application for Search and Seizure 
Warrant 
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK) ss.: 
being duly sworn, deposes and says: 
I. Introduction 
A. Affiant 
I. 
I have been a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") since 
2012. As such, I am a "federal law enforcement officer within the meaning of Federal Rule of 
Criminal Procedure 41(aX2)(C), that is, a government agent engaged in enforcing the criminal 
laws and duly authorized by the Attorney General to request a search warrant. I have been 
employed by the FBI for three and a half years, and I am currently assigned to investigate violations 
of criminal law relating to the sexual exploitation of children. I have gained expertise in this area 
through classroom training and daily work related to these types of investigations. As part of my 
responsibilities, I have been involved in the investigation of sex trafficking cases, and have been 
involved in search warrants for physical premises. 
2. 
I make this Affidavit in support of an application pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal 
Rules of Criminal Procedure for a second warrant to search the premises specified below (the 
"Subject Premises") for the purpose of 
seizing the items and information described in 
Attachment A. This affidavit is based upon my personal knowledge; my review of documents and 
other evidence; and my conversations with other law enforcement personnel. Because this 
1

EFTA00082672

affidavit is being submitted for the limited purpose of establishing probable cause, it does not 
include all the facts that I have learned during the course of my investigation. Where the contents 
of documents and the actions, statements, and conversations of others are reported herein, they are 
reported in substance and in part, except where otherwise indicated. 
B. The Subject Premises 
3. 
The Subject Premises are particularly described as a multi-story, single-family 
residence located at 9 East 71st Street, New York, New York, and include all locked and closed 
containers found therein. As detailed further herein, the Subject Premises is believed to be owned, 
possessed and controlled by JEFFREY EPSTEIN, a target subject of this investigation. A 
photograph of the front entrance to the Subject Premises is included below: 
C. The Target Subject and the Subject Offenses 
4. 
The Target Subject of this investigation is JEFFREY EPSTEIN. 
5. 
For the reasons detailed below, I believe that there is probable cause to believe that 
the Subject Premises contain evidence, fruits, and instrumentalities of violations of Title 18, United 
2 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00082673

States Code, Section 1591 (sex trafficking of minors); and Title 18, United States Code, Section 
371 (sex trafficking conspiracy) (the "Subject Offenses") by the Target Subject. 
II. Probable Cause and the First Warrant 
A. Probable Cause Regarding the Target Subject's Commission of the 
Subject Offenses 
6. 
On or about July 2, 2019, a grand jury in this District returned an Indictment 
charging JEFFREY EPSTEIN with the Subject Offenses. A copy of the Indictment is attached 
hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated by reference. 
B. Probable Cause Justifying Search of the Subject Premises 
The Indictment and Victim-1 
7. 
As set forth in Exhibit A, from at least in or about 2002, up to and including at least 
in or about 2005, JEFFREY EPSTEIN sexually abused multiple minor girls in the Southern 
District of New York and elsewhere. During that time and continuing to the present, EPSTEIN 
possessed and controlled the Subject Premises, which is described in Exhibit A as "the New York 
Residence." 
8. 
As further set forth in paragraphs 8 through 10 of Exhibit A, from at least in or about 
2002, up to and including at least in or about 2005, EPSTEIN sexually abused numerous minor 
victims at the Subject Premises. In particular, and as alleged in the Indictment, when a victim 
arrived at the Subject Premises, she would be escorted to a room inside the Subject Premises with 
a massage table, where she would perform a massage on EPSTEIN. The victims, who were as 
young as 14 years of age, were told by EPSTEIN or other individuals to partially or fully undress 
before beginning the "massage." During the encounter, EPSTEIN would escalate the nature and 
scope of physical contact with his victim to include, among other things, sex acts such as groping 
and direct and indirect contact with the victims' genitals. 
EPSTEIN typically would also 
3 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00082674

masturbate during these sexualized encounters, ask victims to touch him while he masturbated, 
and touch victims' genitals with his hands or with sex toys. Following each encounter, EPSTEIN 
or one of his employees or associates paid the victim in cash. 
9. 
As set forth in paragraphs 12 through 13 of Exhibit A, to further facilitate his ability 
to abuse minor girls in New York, JEFFREY EPSTEIN asked and enticed certain of his victims to 
recruit additional minor girls to perform "massages" and similarly engage in sex acts with 
EPSTEIN. When a victim would recruit another minor girl for EPSTEIN, he paid both the victim-
recruiter and the new victim hundreds of dollars in cash. EPSTEIN knew that his victims were 
underage, including because certain victims told him their age. 
10. 
One of the victims identified in paragraph 22 of Exhibit A is Victim-1. As part of 
the FBI's investigation of EPSTEIN, other law enforcement officers have interviewed Victim-1.1
I know from my conversations with other law enforcement officers who have interviewed Victim-
1, that Victim-1 has provided the following information, in substance and in part: 
a. Between approximately 2002 and 2005, EPSTEIN sexually abused Victim-1 on 
multiple occasions in the Subject Premises. This sexual abuse all occurred when Victim-1 was 
under the age of 18. 
b. During that same period, Victim-1 observed multiple floors of the Subject Premises 
and numerous individual rooms within the Subject Premises. Victim-1 has provided detailed 
1 In meetings with the Government, Victim-1 has disclosed that, approximately a decade ago, she 
committed marriage fraud in order to obtain a green card and, subsequently, U.S. citizenship. She 
has also disclosed personal substance abuse, primarily involving the abuse of prescription drugs, 
during various periods between the early 2000s and 2019. Victim-1 has also disclosed having 
worked for approximately a year at a "happy-ending" massage parlor, performing paid sex acts. 
Victim-1 is currently pursuing a civil damages claim against EPSTEIN for his sexual abuse of her. 
Information provided by Victim-1 has proven reliable and has been corroborated by independent 
evidence, including documents and records obtained during the investigation and the accounts of 
other victims whom Victim-1 has never met. 
4 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00082675

descriptions of certain aspects of the interior of the Subject Premises, including Victim-I's 
memory of specific details regarding the layout, furnishings, decorations, and floor pattern of 
various areas within the Subject Premises. 
c. In particular, Victim-1 observed that a bathroom in the residence contained what 
appeared to be a bust of a human torso (the "Torso"). Victim-1 believed that the Torso was 
possibly a type of sex toy. 
d. In addition, Victim-1 recalled observing what appeared to be a taxidermied dog in a 
living space in the Subject Premises. 
e. Victim-1 recalled that EPSTEIN typically abused her in a room she described as a 
"massage room," (the "Massage Room"), which contained a massage table, and was decorated 
with artwork depicting naked women, hung on walls that appeared to be adorned with fabric. 
f. Victim-1 has not been in the Subject Premises since approximately 2005. 
The July 6.2019 Search Warrant of the Subject Premises 
11. 
On or about July 6, 2019, the Honorable Barbara Moses, United States Magistrate 
Judge, signed a search warrant authorizing a search of the Subject Premises. The search warrant 
is attached as Exhibit B and incorporated by reference herein. 
12. 
At approximately 6 p.m. on or about July 6, 2019, law enforcement officers (the 
"Search Team") commenced executing the search warrant at the Subject Premises; I joined the 
Search Team thereafter. While inside the Subject Premises, I observed the following, among other 
things: 
a. 
Inside a closet within the entryway to a bathroom in the Subject Premises, I 
observed what appear to be two busts of female human torsos, from their upper pelvis to the neck. 
In addition, inside the bathroom, I observed a third bust, which appears to depict a female body 
5 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00082676

from the ribcage to the clavicle (collectively, (the "Busts"). The Busts do not appear to be designed 
for use as sex toys, and appear instead to be artwork. Nevertheless, based on my conversations 
with law enforcement officers who have interviewed Victim-1, I have learned that the Busts appear 
to be generally consistent with Victim-1's description of observing the Torso in EPSTEIN's 
bathroom in the Subject Premises. Accordingly, there is probable cause to believe that the Busts 
are corroborating evidence of Victim-l's description of the Subject Premises. 
b. 
Inside the Subject Premises, I observed a room that, based on my conversations 
with law enforcement officers who have interviewed Victim-1, appears to be consistent with 
Victim-I's descriptions of the Massage Room. The room contained a table covered with a sheet, 
and appears to be a massage table. The walls appear to be covered in a type of felt-like tapestry 
fabric. I further observed two paintings and three photographs hanging on the walls of the Massage 
Room. The paintings and photographs depict nude females. One of the photographs appears to 
depict a nude girl. Based on my training and experience investigating crimes involving the sexual 
exploitation of children, the girl appears to be approximately 15 to 20 years old. 
c. 
Inside the Subject Premises, inside a closet adjacent to a bathroom, I observed a 
shelf that appears to contain several black binders, with labels on the spine of each binder. In 
particular, one of the binders is marked with a series of labels, one of which reads: "PB Girls." 
Given that the Indictment charges EPSTEIN with participating in a conspiracy to engage in sex 
trafficking of minor girls in both Palm Beach, Florida and New York, I believe that "PB Girls" 
may refer to minor victims in Palm Beach, Florida. 
d. 
Inside the Subject Premises, in what appears to be EPSTEIN's office, on or about 
the second floor of the Subject Premises, I observed what appears to be a taxidermied dog (the 
"Dog"). Based on my conversations with law enforcement officers who have interviewed 
6 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00082677

Victim-1, the Dog appears to be consistent with Victim-I's description of observing a taxidermied 
dog in the Subject Premises. 
e. 
Inside the Subject Premises, I observed in plain view several sheets of stationary, 
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. 
III. 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 
7 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00082678

10 p.m. 
In view of the foregoing circumstances, I respectfully submit that the present 
circumstances demonstrate good cause to execute the warrant after 10 p.m.
