The Subject Premises are particularly described as a multi-story, single-family

mastlithate 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 alit/Se 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 
underoge, including because certain victims told him their age. 
10. 
One of the victims identified in paragraph 22 of Exhibit A is Victim-I. As part of 
the FBI's investigation of EPSTEIN, other law enforcement officers have interviewed Victim-1.1
I knuW 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 
In Meetings with the Government, Victim-1 has disclosed that, approximately a decade ago, she 
comniitted 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.

from the ribcage to the clavicle (collectively, (the "Busts"). The Busts do not appear to be designed 
for ttge 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-i'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-I'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-l'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 
expltiltation 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

JEFFREY EPSTEIN, 
Defendant. 
SEALED 
INDICTMENT 
19 Cr.

COUNT ONE 
(Sex Trafficking Conspiracy) 
The Grand Jury charges: 
OVERVIEW 
1.  As set forth herein, over the course of many 
years, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, sexually exploited and .
abused dozens of minor girls at his homes in Manhattan, New 
York, and Palm Beach, Florida, among other locations. 
2. 
In particular, from at least in or about 2002, up 
to and including at least in or about 2005, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the 
defendant, enticed and recruited, and caused to be enticed and 
recruited, minor girls to visit his mansion in Manhattan, New 
York (the "New York Residence") and his estate in Palm Beach, 
Florida (the "Palm Beach Residence") to engage in sex acts with 
him, after which he would give the victims hundreds of dollars 
in cash. Moreover, and in order to maintain and increase his 
supply of victims, EPSTEIN also paid certain of his victims to 
recruit additional girls to be similarly abused by EPSTEIN. In 
EFTA00164309
Sivu 10 / 17
recruited, dozens of minor girls to engage in sex acts with him, 
after which EPSTEIN paid the victims hundreds of dollars in 
cash, at the New York Residence and the Palm Beach Residence. 
7. 
In both New York and Florida, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, 
the defendant, perpetuated this abuse in similar ways. Victims 
were initially recruited to provide "massages" to EPSTEIN, which 
would be performed nude or partially nude, would become 
increasingly sexual in nature, and would typically include one 
or more sex acts. EPSTEIN paid his victims hundreds of dollars 
in cash for each encounter. Moreover, EPSTEIN actively 
encouraged certain of his victims to recruit additional girls to 
be similarly sexually abused. EPSTEIN incentivized his victims 
to become recruiters by paying these victim-recruiters hundreds 
of dollars for each girl that they brought to EPSTEIN. In so 
doihg, EPSTEIN maintained a steady supply of new victims to 
exploit. 
The New York Residence 
8. 
At all times relevant to this Indictment, JEFFREY 
EPSTEIN, the defendant, possessed and controlled a multi-story 
priVate residence on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, 
i.e., the New York Residence. Between at least in or about 2002 
and in or about 2005, EPSTEIN abused numerous minor victims at 
the New York Residence by causing these victims to be recruited 
to engage in paid sex acts with him.

employees and associates, including a New York-based employee 
("Employee-1"), to communicate with victims via phone to arrange 
for these victims to return to the New York Residence for 
additional sexual encounters with EPSTEIN. 
12. Additionally, and to further facilitate his 
ability to abuse minor girls in New York, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the 
defendant, asked and enticed certain of his victims to recruit 
additional girls to perform "massages" and similarly engage in 
sex acts with EPSTEIN. When a victim would recruit another girl 
for EPSTEIN, he paid both the victim-recruiter and the new 
victim hundreds of dollars in cash. Through these victim-
recruiters, EPSTEIN gained access to and was able to abuse 
dozens of additional minor girls. 
13. In particular, certain recruiters brought dozens 
of additional minor girls to the New York Residence to give 
massages to and engage in sex acts with JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the 
defendant. EPSTEIN encouraged victims to recruit additional 
girls by offering .to pay these victim-recruiters for every 
additional girl they brought to EPSTEIN. When a victim-
recruiter accompanied a new minor victim to the New York 
Residence, both the victim-recruiter and the new minor victim 
were paid hundreds of dollars by EPSTEIN for each encounter. In 
addition, certain victim-recruiters routinely scheduled these 
5 
EFTA00164311
Sivu 12 / 17
to touch him while he masturbated, and touch victims' genitals 
with his hands or with sex toys. 
16. In connection with each sexual encounter, JEFFREY 
EPSTEIN, the defendant, or one of his employees or associates, 
paid the victim in cash. Victims typically were paid hundreds 
of dollars for each encounter. 
17. JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, knew that certain 
of his victims were underage, including because certain victims 
told him their age. In addition, as with New York-based 
victims, many Florida victims, once recruited, were abused by 
JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, on multiple additional 
occasions. 
18. JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, who during the 
relevant time period was frequently in New York, would arrange 
for Employee-2 or other employees to contact victims by phone in 
advance of EPSTEIN's travel to Florida to ensure appointments 
were scheduled for when he arrived. In particular, in certain 
instances, Employee-2 placed phone calls to minor victims in 
Florida to schedule encounters at the Palm Beach Residence. At 
the time of certain of those phone calls, EPSTEIN and Employee-2 
were. in New York, New York. Additionally, certain of the 
individuals victimized at the Palm Beach Residence were 
contacted by phone by Employee-3 to schedule these encounters.

others, were committed in the Southern District of New York and 
elsewhere:

EPSTEIN at his residences in Manhattan, New York, and Palm 
Beach, Florida, after which he provided them with hundreds of 
dollars in cash for each encounter. 
b. 
In or about 2002, Minor Victim-1 was 
recruited to engage in sex acts with EPSTEIN and was repeatedly 
sexually abused by EPSTEIN at the New York Residence over a 
period of years and was paid hundreds of dollars for each 
encounter. EPSTEIN also encouraged and enticed Minor Victim-1 
to recruit other girls to engage :in paid sex acts, which she 
did. EPSTEIN asked Minor Victim-1 how old she was, and Minor 
Victim-1 answered truthfully. 
c.
