Government's confidential "list or victims." Most of these lawsuits seek S50 
million in money darnages.4
a 
Assistant U.S. Attorney David Weinstein spoke about the case in great detail to 
Landon Thomas, a reporter with the Mew York Times, and revealed confidential 
information about the Government's allegations against Mr. Epstein. The Assistant 
U.S. Attorney also revealed the substance of confidential plea negotiations. 
When counsel for Mr. Epstein complained about die media leaks, first A.tsistaii; 
Stamen responded by asserting that "Mr. Thomas was given, pursuant to his 
request, non-case specific information concerning specific federal statutes " Based 
on Mr. Thomas' contemporaneous notes, that assertion appears to be false. For 
example, Mr. Weinstein told Mr. Thomas that federal authorities believed that 
Mr. Epstein had hired girls over the telephone and traveled in interstate commerce 
for the purpose of engaging in underage sex. He recounted to Mi. Thomas the 
USAO's theory of prosecution against Mr. Epstein. replete with an analysis of the 
key statutes being considered. 
Fun:hermore, after Mr. Epstein's defense ream 
complained about the leak to the USAO, Mr. Weinstein, in Mr Thomas' own 
description, then admonished him for talking to the defense, and getting hint in 
trouble. Mr. Weinstein further told him not to believe the "spin" of Mr. F.psteints 
"high-priced attorneys," and then, according to Mr. Thomas. Mr. Weinstein 
forcefully "reminded" Mr. Thomas • that all prior conversations were merct) 
hypothetical. 
We are constrained to conclude that the actions of federal officials in this case strike at 
the heart of one of the vitally important, enduring values in this country: the honest enforcement 
of federal law, free of political considerations and free of the taint of personal financial 
motivations on the part of federal prosecutors thin, at a minimum, raise the appearance of serious 
impropriety. 
We were told by U.S. Attorney 
that as parr of the review he requested, the 
Department had the authority, and his consent, to make any determination it deemed appropriate 
regarding this matter, including a decision to decline federal prosecution. Yet, C •OS's only 
conclusion, based on its limited review of the investigation, is that U.S. Attorney 
would 
not abuse his discretion by proceeding against Mr. Epstein. Thus, the decision of whether

Re: 
Jeffrey Epstein 
Dear Mr. Goldberger: 
In accordance with the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement, on June 30, 2008, 
the United States Attorney's Office provided you with a list of thirty-one individuals "whom 
it was prepared to name in an Indictment as victims of an enumerated offense by Mr. 
Epstein." Yesterday, I provided you with the identification of another victim whom I had 
erroneously left off of that list. At the time the list was provided, Special Agent 
and I impressed upon you the need to finalize this last piece of the agreement as quickly as 
possible so that we could fulfill our victim notification obligations. In deference to your 
vacation, we allowed you a week to provide us with any objections or requested 
modifications to the list and/or the Notification language. Yesterday, I contacted you via 
telephone and e-mail, but received no response. 
Accordingly, the United States hereby notifies you that it will distribute the victim 
notifications tomorrow, July 9, 2008, to each of the thirty-two identified victims, either 
directly or via their counsel. A carbon copy of each notification will be provided to you, and 
the notification will list you as the contact person for any civil litigation, if the victim decides

to pursue damages. If the United States learns that a civil suit has been filed against Mr. 
Epstein and he has denied that one of these victims is entitled to proceed under 18 U.S.C. 
§ 2255, that will be considered a breach of the Non-Prosecution Agreement and the United 
States will proceed accordingly.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA 
Case No. 08-80736-Civ-Marra/Johnson 
JANE DOE No. I and JANE DOE No. 2 
v. 
UNITED STATES 
AFFIDAVIT OF BRADLEY J. EDWARDS, ESQ. REGARDING NEED FOR 
PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS 
1. I, Bradley J. Edwards, Esq., do hereby declare that I am a member in good standing of the Bar 
of the State of Florida. Along with co-counsel, I represent Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2 
(as referred to as "the victims") in the above-listed action to enforce their rights under the Crime 
Victims Rights Act (CVRA). I also represented them (and several other victims) in civil suits 
against Jeffrey Epstein for sexually abusing them. I am also familiar with the criminal justice 
system, having served as state prosecutor in the Broward County State Attorney's Office. 
2. This affidavit covers factual issues regarding the Government's assertions of privilege to 
more than 13,000 pages of documents it has produced for in camera inspection in this case. This 
affidavit provides factual information demonstrating that the Government's assertions of 
privilege are not well founded. It farther demonstrates that the victims have a compelling and 
substantial need for the information requested and have no other way of obtaining the 
information. 
Background Regarding Unsuccessful Efforts to Reach Stipulated Facts with the 
Government 
3. On July 7, 2008, I filed a petition to enforce the CVRA rights of Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe 
No. 2 with regard to sex offenses committed against them by Jeffrey Epstein while they were 
minors. The course of the proceedings since then is well-known to the Court. For purposes of 
this affidavit regarding privileges, it is enough to briefly recount the efforts of the victims to 
reach a stipulated set of facts with the Government — efforts that the Government has blocked. 
4. The Court first held a hearing on victims' petition on July 11, 2008. The Court discussed a 
need to "hav[e] a complete record, and this is going to be an issue that's ... going to go to the 
Eleventh Circuit, [so it] may be better to have a complete record as to what your position is and 
the government's is as to what actions were taken." Tr. at 25-26. The Court concluded the 
hearing with the following instructions: "So I'll let both of you confer about whether there is a 
need for any additional evidence to be presented." Tr. at 32.

25 
5. The victims and the U.S. Attorney's Office then attempted to reach a stipulated set of facts 
underlying the case. The U.S. Attorney's Office offered a very abbreviated set of proposed facts, 
and the victims responded with a detailed set of proposed facts. Rather than respond to the 
victims' specific facts, however, the U.S. Attorney's Office suddenly reversed course. On July 
29, 2008, it filed a Notice to Court Regarding Absence of Need for Evidentiary Hearing (DE 17). 
The U.S. Attorney's Office took the following position: "After consideration, the Government 
believes that an evidentiary hearing is not necessary" (DE 17 at 1). The Office asserted that the 
Court need only take judicial notice of the fact that no indictment had been filed against Epstein 
to resolve the case. 
6. On August 1, 2008, the victims filed a response to the Government's "Notice," giving a 
proposed statement of facts surrounding the case. DE 19 at 5. The victims' response also 
requested that the Court direct the Government to confer with the victims regarding the 
undisputed facts of the case, and produce the non-prosecution agreement and other information 
about the case. Id at 14. On August 14, 2008, the Court held a hearing on the case regarding 
the confidentiality of the non-prosecution agreement. The Court ultimately ordered production 
of the agreement to the victims. 
7. After the U.S. Attorney's Office made the non-prosecution agreement available to the 
victims, the victims reviewed it and pursued further discussions with the U.S. Attorney's Office. 
Ultimately, however, the U.S. Attorney's Office declined to reach a stipulated set of facts with 
the victims and declined to provide further information about the case. 
8. With negotiations at an impasse, the victims attempted to learn the facts of the case in other 
ways. In approximately May 2009, counsel for the victims propounded discovery requests in 
both state and federal civil cases against Epstein, seeking to obtain correspondence between 
Epstein and prosecutors regarding his plea agreement — information that the U.S. Attorney's 
Office was unwilling to provide to the victims and information that was highly relevant both to 
the victims' civil suit and their CVRA enforcement action. Epstein refused to produce that 
information, and (as the Court is aware) extended litigation to obtain the materials followed. The 
Court rejected all of Epstein's objections to producing the materials. 
9. On June 30, 2010, counsel for Epstein sent to counsel for the victims approximately 358 
pages of e-mail correspondence between criminal defense counsel and the U.S. Attorney's Office 
regarding the plea agreement that had been negotiated between them. See DE48-Attachment 
1/Exhibit A. These e-mails began to disclose for the fast time the extreme steps that had been 
taken by the U.S. Attorney's Office to avoid prosecuting Epstein and to avoid having the victims 
in the case learn about the non-prosecution agreement that had been reached between Epstein 
and the Government. 
While the Court ordered that all of the correspondence be turned over to 
the victims, Epstein chose to disobey that order and instead only produced the correspondence 
authored by the Government and redacted all correspondence authored by him or his attorneys. 
10. In mid-July 2010, Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2 settled their civil lawsuits against 
Epstein. 
Then, armed with the new information, they turned to moving forward in the CVRA 
case. On September 13, 2010, the victims informed the Court that they were preparing new 
filings in the case. 
11. On October 12, 2010, the Court entered an order directing the victims to provide a status 
report on the case by October 27, 2010. That same day, counsel for the victims again contacted

Gazoie9;O38ea731I6IGNAM Eltmannta62132ErffatedadthISESD6Meke2CO2620aCtlEPafigt dr 644 
25 
the U.S. Attorney's Office about the possibility of reaching a stipulated set of facts in the case. 
That same day, the U.S. Attorney's Office responded: "We don't have any problem with 
agreeing that a factual assertion is correct if we agree that is what occurred" (DE 41 at 2). 
12. On October 23, 2010, the victims e-mailed to the U.S. Attorney's Office a detailed proposed 
statement of facts, with many of the facts now documented by the correspondence between the 
U.S. Attorney's Office and Epstein's counsel. The victims requested that the U.S. Attorney's 
Office identify which facts it would agree to. In a letter to the U.S. Attorney's Office, the victims 
stated: 
If you believe that any of the facts they propose are incorrect, Jane Doe No. 1 and 
Jane Doe No. 2 would reiterate their long-standing request that you work with us 
to arrive at a mutually-agreed statement of facts. As you know, in the summer of 
2008 Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2 were working with you on a stipulation 
of facts when you reversed course and took that position that no recitation of the 
facts was necessary (see doe. No. 19 at 2). . . . I hope that your e-mail means that 
you will at least look at our facts and propose any modifications that you deem 
appropriate. Having that evidence quickly available to the Court could well help 
move this case to a conclusion. 
That same day, the U.S. Attorney's Office agreed to forward the proposed statement of facts to 
the appropriate Assistant U.S. Attorney for review (DE 41 at 2-3). 
13. On October 26, 2010, rather than stipulate to undisputed facts, the U.S. Attorney's Office 
contacted the victims' attorneys and asked them to delay the filing of their motion for a two-
week period of time so that negotiations could be held between the Office and the victims in an 
attempt to narrow the range of disputes in the case and to hopefully reach a settlement resolution 
without the need for further litigation. Negotiations between the victims and the U.S. Attorney's 
Office then followed over the next two days. However, at 6:11 p.m. on October 27, 2010 — the 
date on which the victims' pleading was due — the U.S. Attorney's Office informed the victims 
that it did not believe that it had time to review the victims' proposed statement of facts and 
advise which were accurate and which were inaccurate. The Office further advised the victims 
that it believed that the victims did not have a right to confer with their Office under the CVRA 
in this case because in its view the case is "civil" litigation rather than "criminal" litigation (doe. 
No. 41 at 3).
14. As a result, purely as an accommodation to the U.S. Attorney's Office, on October 27, 2010, 
the victims filed a report with the Court in which they agreed to delay filing their motion and 
accompanying facts for up to two-weeks to see if negotiations can resolve (or narrow) the 
disputes with the U.S. Attorney's Office (DE 41 at 4). Discussions with the U.S. Attorney's 
Office dragged on, including a personal meeting between Jane Doe No. 1 and the U.S. Attorney 
in December 2010. 
I In seeming contradiction to this position, on March 17, 2011, the U.S. Attorney's Office 
informed the victims that it would not be making any initial disclosures to the victims as required 
for civil cases by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1). The U.S. Attorney's Office did not explain why they 
believe that this rule of civil procedure is inapplicable if they think this case is properly viewed 
as a "civil" case.

15. After further discussions failed to produce any agreement or other visible progress, the 
victims informed the U.S. Attorney's Office that they would file their "summary judgment" 
motion with the Court on March 18, 2011 and requested further cooperation from the Office on 
the facts. 
16. Ultimately, after months of discussion, the U.S, Attorney's Office informed counsel for the 
victims that — contrary to promises made earlier to stipulate to undisputed facts — no such 
stipulation would be forthcoming. Instead, on March 15, 2011, the U.S. Attorney for the 
Southern District of Florida, Wifredo A. 
, sent a letter to the victims declining to reach any 
agreement on the facts: 
Because, as a matter of law, the CVRA is inapplicable to this matter in which no 
federal criminal charges were ever filed, your requests for the government's 
agreement on a set of proposed stipulated facts is unnecessary and premature. 
That is, because whether the rights in 18 U.S.C. § 3771(a) attach prior to the filing 
of a charge in a federal court is a matter of statutory interpretation, resolution of 
that question is not dependent upon the existence of any certain set of facts, other 
than whether a charging document was ever filed against Jeffrey Epstein in the 
United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. And while this 
Office remains willing to cooperate, cooperation does not mean agreeing to facts 
that are not relevant to the resolution of the legal dispute at issue . . . . 
Letter from Wifredo A. 
to Paul G. Cassell (March 15, 2011). 
17. Accordingly, unable to work with the Government to reach a resolution of the facts, on 
March 21, 2011, the victims filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, alleging 53 undisputed facts 
along with some evidentiary support for each of the facts. DE 48. The victims also filed a 
motion to have their facts accepted because of the Government's failure to contest their facts. 
DE 49. The victims also filed a motion to have the Court direct the Government to not withhold 
relevant evidence. DE 50. 
18. Following a hearing on the motions, on September 26, 2011, the Court rejected the 
Government's argument that the CVRA was inapplicable in this case because the Government 
had never filed charges against Epstein. DE 99. The Court, however, rejected the victims' 
argument that it should accept their facts because of the Government's failure to contest the 
facts. DE 99 at 11. Instead, the Court directed that discovery could proceed in the form of 
requests for admission and document production requests. Id at 11. The Court reserved ruling 
on the victims' motion that the Government should be directed not to withhold evidence. 
19. In light of the Court's order, on October 3, 2011, the victims filed requests for production 
with the Government. The requests included 25 specific requests, each of which linked very 
directly to the facts that the victims were attempting to prove in this case. 
20. On November 7, 2011, the day when the Government's responses were due, rather than 
produce even a single page of discovery, the Government filed a motion to dismiss the victims' 
petitions. DE 119. On that same day, the Government filed a motion to stay discovery. DE 121. 
The victims filed a response, arguing that the Government's motion was a stall tactic. DE 129. 
The victims also filed a motion to compel production of all of their discovery requests. DE 130. 
The Government filed a reply, arguing that it was not stalling. Indeed, the Government told the 
Court that "the United States has agreed to provide some information to [the victims] even
