DEFENDANT EPSTEIN'S RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS JANE DOE NOS. 101 AND 102'S 
MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE UNDER SEAL RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO 
DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO STAY OR, IN THE ALTERNATIVE, TO UNSEAL THE 
NONPROSECUTION AGREEMENT (dated 5/29/09, IDE 1281 
Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, 
("EPSTEIN"), by and through his undersigned 
attorneys responds to the Plaintiffs' Jane Doe No. 101 and Jane Doe No. 102 ("Plaintiffs") 
Motion For Leave To File Under Seal Response In Opposition To Defendant's Motion To Stay 
Or, In The Alternative, To Unseal The Nonprosecution Agreement, and states: 
1. 
This Court has already entered orders preserving the confidentiality of the Non-
Prosecution Agreement ("NM") and denying prior attempts to have the document unsealed. See 
Court's Orders, attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively, entered in In Re: Jane 
Does 1 and 2. Petitioners Case No. 08-80736-CIV-MARRA/JOHNSON, A. Order To Compel 
Production And Protective Order, [DE 26], dated August 21, 2008, and B. Order [DE 36], dated 
February 12, 2009, on Petitioners' Motion To Unseal Non-Prosecution Agreement [DE 28]. 
Both of these Orders are clear that the terms of the NPA are to remain confidential and remain

protected from being disclosed to third parties. The NPA is an agreement between the United 
States Attorney's Office and EPSTEIN. Plaintiffs' motion presents nothing in support of this 
Court modifying its prior orders. 
2. 
Significantly, even the United States Attorney's Office (USAO), along with 
Defendant, has strongly opposed making the NPA public. Attached as Exhibit C hereto is 
Respondent United States of America's Opposition To Victims' Motion To Unseal Non-
Prosecution Agreement, dated October 8, 2008, [DE 29], also filed in In Re: Jane Does 1 and 2, 
Petitioners, Case No. 08-80736-CIV-MARRA/JOHNSON. In opposing the petitioners' attempts 
to make public the terms of the NPA, the United States in the Response, Exhibit C, stated: 
Since the Agreement (NPA) has not been filed under seal with this Court, the 
legal authority cited by petitoners regarding sealing of documents, United States v. 
Ochoa-Vasque, 428 F.3d 1015 (11th Cir. 2005), is inapposite. The parties who 
negotiated the Agreement, the United States Attorney's Office and Jeffrey Epstein, 
determined the Agreement should remain confidential. They were free to do so, and 
violated no law in making such an agreement. Since the Agreement has become 
relevant to the instant lawsuit, petitioners have been given access to it, upon the 
condition that it not be disclosed further. Petitioners have no legal right to disclose 
the Agreement to third parties, or standing to challenge the confidentiality provision. 
After the United States' response, Exhibit C, this Court entered its Order, Exhibit B, 
agreeing with the United States' position and maintaining the confidentiality of the NPA in 
accordance with its prior Order, Exhibit A. The "victims" who were provided a copy of the 
NPA were and are required to maintain the NPA's confidentiality and not disclose the terms to 
third parties. 
3. 
Other parties in the consolidated cases have been able to file their responses 
without a similar request being made. Defendant believes that these Plaintiffs can fully respond 
without the need to file under seal; and reference provisions generally. However if the Court is

inclined to grant this Order, then in order to continue to protect the confidentiality of the NPA 
and to comply with the Court's prior Orders, Exhibit A and Exhibit B, Defendant would agree 
to allow Plaintiff to file under seal ligl• response and reference only those portions (identified 
herein) of the NPA which are potentially relevant to the issues arising under claims brought 
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255 and thus, that may have impact on Defendant's motion for stay and 
Plaintiff's response thereto. Specifically, the only portions relevant for this Court to make a 
decision on Defendant's motion and Plaintiffs' response are paragraphs 7, 8, 9, and10 of the 
NPA, and paragraphs 7A, 7B, and 7C of the Addendum To The NPA. 
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court enter an Order denying any attempts 
by Plaintiffs to unseal or make public or to disclose to third parties the terms of the NPA, and to 
deny Plaintiffs move to file their response under seal; or if the Court is inclined to grant the 
motion, to allow Plaintiff to file her response to the motion to stay and only the specified 
portions of the NPA and Addendum thereto under seal.

WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court deny the relief sought by Plaintiff. 
Affirmative Defenses 
1. As to all counts, Plaintiff actually consented to and was a willing participant in the 
acts alleged, and therefore, her claims are barred, or her damages are required to be 
reduced accordingly. 
2. As to all counts alleged, Plaintiff actually consented to and participated in 
conduct similar and/or identical to the acts alleged with other persons which were the 
sole or contributing cause of Plaintiffs alleged damages. 
3. As to all counts, Plaintiff impliedly consented to the acts alleged by not objecting 
and by going to Defendant's home with other females and/or by bringing other females 
to Defendant's home for which Plaintiff received money; and therefore, her claims are 
barred, or her damages are required to be reduced accordingly. 
4. As to all counts, Defendant reasonably believed or was told that the Plaintiff had 
attained the age of 18 years old at the time of the alleged acts. 
5. As to all counts, Plaintiff's claims are barred as she said she was 18 years or 
older at the time. 
6. As to all counts, Plaintiff's alleged damages were caused in whole or part by 
events and/or circumstances completely unrelated to the incident(s) alleged in the 
complaint.

7. Plaintiff's claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. 
8. As to Plaintiff's claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault & 
Battery," and Count II — "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," such claims are 
subject to the limitations as set forth in §768.72, et seq., Florida Statutes. 
9. As to Plaintiff's claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault &

America v. Gore, 116 S.Ct 1589 (1996)• Philip Morris USA v. Williams, 127 S.Ct. 1057 
(2007)• State Farm v. Campbell, 123 S.Ct 1513 (2003); Engle v. Ligget Group, Inc., 945

imposition of grossly excessive or arbitrary punishments 
10.As to Plaintiffs claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault & 
Battery," and Count II — "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," the determination of

a determination of the amount to be imposed. 
11. Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action for sexual assault and/or battery 
under Count I. 
12.As to Count III, Plaintiff has failed to plead a cause of action as she does not and 
can not show a violation of a predicate act under 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2005).

13.As to Count III, the version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 in effect at the time of the alleged 
conduct applies, and, thus, the presumptive minimum damages amount should Plaintiff

14.As to Count III, application of the amended version of 18 U.S.C. §2255, effective 
July 27, 2006, would be in violation of the legal axiom against retroactive application of 
an amended statute, and also In violation of such constitutional principles, including but 
not limited to, the "Ex Post Facto" Clause, U.S. Const. Article I, §9, cl. 3, §10, cl. 1, and 
procedural and substantive due process, U.S. Const. 14th Amend., 5th Amend. The 
statute in effect during the time of the alleged conduct applies. 
15.As to Count III, application of the amended version of 18 U.S.C. §2255, effective 
July 27, 2006, is prohibited pursuant to the vagueness doctrine and the Rule of Lenity. 
A criminal statute is required to give " 'fair warning ... in language that the common 
world will understand, of what the law intends to do if a certain line is passed. To make 
the warning fair, so far as possible the line should be clear.' " United States v. Lanier,

States 283 U.S. 25, 27, 51 S.Ct. 340, 75 L.Ed. 816 (1931)) (omission in original). The 
"three related manifestations of the fair warning requirement" are: (1) the vagueness 
doctrine bars enforcement of a statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an 
act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its 
meaning and differ as to its application; (2) the canon of strict construction of criminal 
statutes, or rule of lenity, ensures fair warning by so resolving ambiguity in a criminal 
statute as to apply it only to conduct clearly covered; (3) due process bars courts from

applying a novel construction of a criminal statute to conduct that neither the statute nor 
any prior judicial decision has fairly disclosed to be within its scope. 
16. The applicable version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 creates a cause of action on behalf of 
a "minor." Plaintiff had attained the age of majority at the time of filing this action, and 
accordingly, her cause of action is barred. 
17.Because Plaintiff has no claim under 18 U.S.C. §2255, this Court is without 
subject matter jurisdiction as to all claims asserted. 
18.Application of the 18 U.S.C. §2255, as amended, effective July 27, 2006, is in 
violation of the constitutional principles of due process, the "Ex Post Facto" clause, and 
the Rule of Lenity, in that in amending the term "minor to "person" as to those who may 
bring a cause of action impermissibly and unconstitutionally broadened the scope of 
persons able to bring a §2255 claim. 
19. 18 U.S.C. §2255 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14'h Amendment 
under the U.S. Constitution, and thus Plaintiff's claim thereunder is barred. 
20. 18 U.S.C. §2255 violates the constitutional guarantees of procedural and 
substantive due process. Procedural due process guarantees that a person will not be 
deprived of life, liberty or property without notice and opportunity to be heard. 
Substantive due process protects fundamental rights. Accordingly, Plaintiffs cause of 
action thereunder is barred. 
WHEREFORE Defendant requests that this Court deny the 
lief sought by Plaintiff.
