Title::.LFREDO RODRIGUEZ; 
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE 
Synopsis: 
EC requesting Palm Springs RA to interview 
and 
Details: 
In October 2009, Miami Division opened an obstruction of 
justice case against ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ. RODRIGUEZ was the previous 
house manager and butler to Palm Beach County resident JEFFREY 
EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN was the subject of a child prostitution, 31E matter, 
worked by Miami Division beginning in 2006. Investigation of EPSTEIN 
revealed that he brought underage girls to his home to perform 
massages and paid them to engage in sex acts with himself and one 
another. The U.S. Attorney's Office entered into a non-prosecution 
agreement with EPSTEIN where EPSTEIN pled guilty tO state offenses in 
Florida state court. EPSTEIN was sentenced to a period of state prison 
followed by community supervision as a registered sex offender. 
EPSTEIN completed his community supervision in July 2010. 
EPSTEIN's victims filed suit against EPSTEIN in state and 
federal court seeking damages in civil litigation. During the 
discovery process, RODRIGUEZ was deposed by attorney BRADLEY EDWARDS 
who represented several of the victims. After his deposition, 
RODRIGUEZ contacted EDWARDS and advised that he had lists of 
additional victims that he had not previously disclosed to law 
enforcement during the criminal investigation or after being served 
with a subpoena in the civil case. RODRIGUEZ advised 
he would not turn the information over to the attorney but instead 
wanted monetary compensation. In November 2009, RODRIGUEZ attempted to 
sell the information to a UCE for $50,000.00, which resulted in the 
above captioned case. 
Information was recently provided to FBI Miami that MICHAEL 
and 
previously worked for EPSTEIN as housekeepers or 
property managers at one of his properties and may have witnessed 
EPSTEIN's interaction with underage girls and criminal conduct. It is 
unclear at which property MICHAEL and 
worked. EPSTEIN 
maintained homes and residences in New York, New York, Palm Beach, 
Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands, New Mexico, London, England, and 
Paris, France. 
It is requested that Los Angeles Division interview MICHAEL 
and 
regarding their employment with EPSTEIN and any 
interactions they observed between EPSTEIN and underage girls.
