Milian sues billionaire investor, 
/says they had sex when she was 16 
The Associated hers 
NEW YORK — A billionaire 
investor, already facing jail 
in Palm Beach County on 
charges of soliciting under-
age prostitutes, is being sued 
by a young woman who says 
he had sex with her when 
she was 16 and had sought 
his help becoming a model. 
The lawsuit, fled late 
Thesday in Manhattan% state 
Supreme Court, says finan-
cier Jeffrey Epstein had the 
teen perform a sex act when 
she brought 
photographs 
of 
herself 
for him to 
review in his 
Upper East 
Side mansion 
sometime in 
2000. 
Epstein, 
54, a money 
manager, 
told the teen he managed 
finances for Victoria's Secret 
and "could get you into the 
catalog" if she were "nice" 
to him, court papers say. 
The papers say being "nice" 
included massages and other 
favors. 
When the girl told Epstein, 
"I am 16 years old and just 
want to model," he replied, 
"Don't worry I won't tell any-
body," court papers say. 
Epstein, _said by London% 
Epstein 
Mail on Sunday to be a dose 
friend of England% Prince 
Andrew, has been indicted in 
Palm Beach on charges of so-
liciting underage prostitutes. 
That case is pending. 
The girl visited Epstein 
"several times over the sev-
eral months and engaged in 
bizarre and unnatural sex 
acts" while she was a minor, 
the lawsuit says. 
Epstein "repeatedly re-
quested that (the girl) return 
with her 14-, 15-, and 16-
year-old girlfriends, stating, 
tome by with your friends 
your 
next time. Don't 
bring 
(a mutual 
friend in er 
. I love girls 
your age." 
The young woman, now 
23, kept returning to Epstein 
because she has "mental 
issues," said her lawyer, Wil-
liam J. Unroch. He refused to 
elaborate, but court papers 
say she was "disabled at a re-
sult of severe mental disease 
and defect." 
Epstein's lawyer in New 
York, Gerald Lefcourt, said, 
"The girl has admitted she 
is insane, but she can read a 
newspaper and recognize the 
word 'rich.'" 
Lefcourt also said the 
statute of limitations has 
expired for the woman% 
case criminally and civilly, 
and will almost certainly be 
dismissed. 
He refused to comment on 
Epstein% Florida charges. 
Meanwhile, Unroch, 57, 
also acknowledged that his 
client was living with him 
and was at the center of a $10 
million lawsuit he filed last 
year against a neighbor who 
said he was having sex with 
underage girls. That case is 
pending. ' 
"What she was doing at 
22 is irrelevant to what hap-
pened to her when she was 
16," Unroch said Wednesday 
He went on the say he hoped 
Epstein would agree to "do 
right" by his client and re-
solve the case out of court.

Girl drops lawsuit against Palm Beach man 
By LARRY KELLER 
Palm Beath Post Sfre Writer 
A girl who says that wealthy money 
manager and part-time Palm Beach 
resident Jeffrey Epdtein engaged in 
• sexual activity with her when she was 
14, has dropped her lawsuit against 
him because her divorced parents are 
squabbling over the litigation. 
"It has to do with the fact that the 
parents aren't on the same page right 
• now," said Jeffrey Herman, the attorney 
for the girl, identified in court papers 
only as Jane Doe "It's like a sideshow" 
The girl turns 18 in May and can sue 
• again at that time without her parents' 
involvement, Herman said. 
Herman sued Epstein last month on 
• behalf of the girl, her father and her 
stepmother. Her birth mother, who lives 
near Atlanta, then asked to intervene 
on her daughter's behalf and asked that 
Epstein 
Accused of 
sexuality 
assaulting then-
14-year-old gift 
the litigation be halted 
until 
her 
daughter 
turns 18. • 
The mother com-
plained that Jane Doe's 
father did not consult 
with 
her 
or 
their 
daughter before suing 
Epstein 
for 
$50mil-
lion. The lawsuit al-
leges sexual assault, 
intentional 
infliction 
of emotional distress 
and loss ' of parental 
consortium. 
Herman 
also represents a Jane 
Doe No. 2 who, like Jane Doe, claims 
Epstein summoned her to his home for 
a massage when She was a minor and 
sexually touched her 
,Epstein, 55; induced several un 
r-
age girls to give him sexual ma 
es 
at his Intracoastal home, a Palm Beach 
Police Department investigation con-
cluded. He was indicted in July 2006 on 
a single count of felony solicitation of 
prostitution. The case is pending. 
Jane Doe's parents separated two 
months after she was born at Good Sa-
maritan Medical Center, according to 
court records. The couplek subsequent 
divorce has been contentious. Each has 
had primary custody of the girl at various 
times. 
The father pleaded guilty to fed-
eral fraud charges in 2001 and was sen-
tenced to 21 months in federal prison, 
plus three years' probation. The US. 
attorney overseeing his prosecution 
was Guy Lewis. Now in private practice, 
Lewis was hired by Epstein to defend 
him against the father's lawsuit filed on 
behalf of Jane Doe.

Man guilty in underage escort case 
West Palm resident faces mandatory sentence of at least 10 years in prison 
BY VANESSA BLUM 
South Florida Sun-Sentinel 
March 20, 2008 
Rejecting defense claims of entrapment, a federal jury 
convicted a West Palm Beach man on Wednesday for 
arranging to have sex with a teen prostitute in Costa Rica 
through a bogus travel agency secretly run by the FBI.
Jorge Muentes, 48, cried as federal marshals led him 
from his family after the guilty verdict was read in the 
Foil Lauderdale courtroom of U.S. District Judge James 
Cohn. 
"I love you, baby," his wife of 17 years called after him. 
"I love you." 
Muentes, who worked as a butler, contacted the FBI's 
fake agency, Latin American Pleasure Tours, in 
September after seeing an ad in an adult magazine. In conversations with an undercover detective posing 
as the agency's owner, Muentes requested a 14- to 16-year-old prostitute. He was arrested at Miami
I cil
ia_ jalionalAirmyt Nov. 15 as he attempted to board a flight to San Jose. 
David 0. Markus, the attorney representing Muentes, said he would appeal the verdict. Markus had 
argued his client was entrapped by the detective who Markus said called Muentes repeatedly and steered 
him toward an underage prostitute.

But prosecutors insisted Muentes made the choice to request a teenager without encouragement and took 
concrete steps toward acting on his desires by paying for the trip and attempting to travel. 
After a two-day trial and one day of deliberations, the jury of seven men and five women found Muentes 
guilty of two counts for soliciting the services of an underage prostitute and for attempting to travel 
overseas for sex with a minor. 
Muentes, who has no criminal record or history of child abuse, faces a mandatory sentence of at least 10 
years. 
A nearly identical case against a New York Vietnam War veteran is set for trial Monday before U.S. 
District Judge Jose Gonzalez in Fort Lauderdale.

, guilty in underage escort case -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com 
Pagc 2 of 2 
The two cases are part of a government crackdown on so-called sex tourists who travel overseas to 
molest children. The initiative has led to more than 70 arrests since 2003, including those of 15 people 
snared in the sting operation. 
The Web site for Latin American Pleasure Tours offers to fulfill travelers' desires with "clean, fun-
loving companions of varying ages." All calls to the agency were directed to the Miami FBI 
headquarters and answered by Richard Love, a retired Fort Lauderdale police detective who posed as the 
agency's owner. 
Love testified at trial that Muentes needed no prodding to request a "very young" escort. In their first 
conversation, Love offered Muentes two types of escorts — for sightseeing or sex. After Muentes 
indicated his interest in a prostitute, Love asked him to choose from a range of 14 to 27 years old. "Let's 
go young ... very young," Muentes said. 
Love suggested a 14- to 16-year-old and Muentes agreed. When Muentes asked about the legality of sex 
with a minor, Love said it was all illegal. According to testimony at trial, adult prostitution is legal in 
Costa Rica, but transactions cannot involve a third party, such as an agency or pimp. 
Markus said Muentes changed his mind and requested a 21- to 24-year-old escort, but was never given a 
chance to back out. 
Sentencing is set for May 29.

FRIDAY. APRIL 18, 2008 
WEST PALM BEACH - Part-time Palm Beach resident Jeffrey Epstein 
has been sued in federal court by two more women this week who 
say he had sexual contact with them when they gave him mas-
sages at his waterfront mansion when they were minors. They are 
the fourth and fifth women to sue Epstein. Both women are 
seeking more than $50 million. Jane Doe No. 4 says she was 
15 years old when she had several encounters with Epstein 
in 2002 or 2003. Jane Doe No. 5 says she was 15 or 16 years 
old when she was with him. Epstein was indicted by a county 
grand jury in July 2006 on a single felony count of solicitation 
of prostitution. That case is still active.

A DEADLINE FOR EPSTEIN 
The day of reckoning for 
Palm Beach billionaire finan-
cier and alleged sex offender 
Jeffrey Epstein is coming. 
Really! 
State Attorney Barry 
Krischer has put his foot 
down after nearly two years 
of wrangling with Epsteink 
team of high•priced attor-
neys. 
By July 8, Krischerb spokesman said, 
there will either be a trial or a plea agree-
ment 
The reclusive 55-year-old Wall Street 
prodigy allegedly had a college student 
steer underage suburban girls to his beach-
front mansion for sex and weird massages 
in 2005. 
"lib simply time," said Krischer'S spokes-
man, Mike Edmondson. 
In November Epsteink local attorney, Jack 
Goldberger, told Page Two the case would be 
resolved with a guilty plea by late January. 
But things have been stalled as Epstein uses 
a dream team of lawyers that also includes 
Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz and for-
mer Whitewater prosecutor Ken Starr. 
Now, a trial has been set for July, just in 
case. 
"Things have been delayed," Goldberger 
said. 
The problem? Sources close to the case 
say Epstein doesn't mind so much the 18 
months in jail if he pleads guilty but he 
can't stand the thought of being branded a 
Florida sex offender for life.

Above the Law: Billionaires in the Bedroom 
Mogul Reportedly Built $30 Million Sex Grotto to Indulge His Desires 
By MARCUS BARAM 
July 20, 2007 — 
When it comes to sexual deviancy, the rich really are different from the rest of us. 
Instead of hiring cheap hookers for an hour in a motel, they fly in high-end prostitutes for the weekend 
to frolic in their underground grotto. Rather than buying sex toys to liven things up, they'll build a sex 
vault complete with bondage and S&M gear. 
The latest in a long line of lurid Lotharios is said to be computer chip mogul Henry T. Nicholas III, who 
allegedly built a $30 million underground grotto, complete with hidden doors and secret levers, at his 
equestrian estate in Laguna Hills, Calif. According to court documents unearthed by the Los Angeles 
Times, Nicholas is said to have planned a "secret and convenient lair" where he could indulge his 
"manic obsession with prostitutes" and "addiction to cocaine and Ecstasy." 
The 47-year-old billionaire, who co-founded Broadcom Corp in 1991, had his private jet ferry 
prostitutes from New Orleans, Chicago and Las Vegas to his lair, nicknamed the Pond, where he 
provided his rock-star guests with drugs, including mushrooms and nitrous oxide, according to the draft 
complaint. 
In addition, the complaint dug up by the Times alleges that Nicholas used the lair as his "personal 
brothel" until his wife caught him in the act with a prostitute, according to the paper. His wife, Stacy 
Nicholas, has since filed for divorce. 
Nicholas' attorney Steven A. Silverstein told the Times that "all of the allegations are denied." In 2000, 
Nicholas told the paper that the underground facility was a "pump house" to handle runoff from his 
horse trails. 
The allegations seem to echo other well-publicized cases. Publishing heir Richard Quadracci reportedly 
ran a gay sex club, complete with a 1,000-square-foot playroom equipped with a cross, bondage boards, 
harness power hoists and other X-rated paraphernalia, out of his penthouse apartment in Manhattan. 
Quadracci claims that he only ran a Web site describing a bondage-themed bed and breakfast that he 
planned to open one day. Eventually, his condominium board sued him and the case was settled in early 
2005. 
Other notorious cases include Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire financier who was charged with felony 
solicitation of a prostitute for hiring underage girls to give him massages at his Palm Beach mansion. In 
that case, some of Epstein's lawyers including famed barrister Alan Dershowitz, reportedly embarrassed 
the girls by unearthing their MySpace pages on which they recounted their drug use.

Page 2 of 2 
The Palm Beach Police requested an investigation by the FBI after the state's attorney reduced the 
charges in that case. Currently, prosecutors are expecting the case to go to trial and a case disposition 
hearing is scheduled for Nov. 16. 
The types of sex and erotic indulgences may vary in each case but they're all made possible by having 
money. 
"The rich aren't more prone to extreme sex but they are more likely to have the resources to spend on it," 
said Manhattan-based therapist Ian Kerner. "There are the $2 toothless hookers and the $20,000 call girl 
virgins but there's still work for all of them." 
Kemer believes that extreme sexual appetites have less to do with money than with core desires and 
instincts shaped by genetics and your upbringing. But being wealthy and powerful allows you to indulge 
those cravings -- sometimes with unexpected results. 
"I've had cases working with Wall Street bankers who always have to be about testosterone and they 
never get to explore their feminine side or their vulnerable side and these guys often go to dominatrixes 
and explore being whipped and spanked," said Kemer. 
They also may feel that their wealth is undeserved and that they need to be humiliated. "The investment 
banker who's mastered the universe just wants to chill out and be dominated." 
Wealthy men and women who are in the public eye may already feel above the law but they seek the 
thrill of putting themselves in high-risk situations. "These are people who feel they can do what they 
want all the time," said Gini Graham Scott, the author of "Homicide by the Rich and Famous." 
"The money lets them indulge every whim and eccentricity and they have the freedom to experiment," 
she explained. "But once they achieve a certain thrill, they need to expand that. After a while, it gets 
boring and they keep pushing the envelope on extreme behavior." 
That certainly seemed to be the case with Fiat heir Lapo Elkann, who was hospitalized in 2005 after 
overdosing at the apartment of a 53-year-old transvestite named Patrizia. After a stint in rehab in 
Arizona, Elkann moved to Manhattan, launched a new line of sunglasses and started indulging new 
passions: speeding in his family's racecars. Bravo!

BLAME GAME 
rake mychic. reel deteclivc: 
June 21, 2007 -- DID legal eagle Alan Dershowitz and alleged pervy 
billionaire Jeffrey Epstein use their clout to get a speech canceled at 
Harvard? That's the belief of Rutgers University biologist Robert Trivers, 
whose talk at Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics (PED) was axed 
after he called Dershowitz a "Nazi-like apologist" for his "rationalization of 
Israeli attacks on Lebanese civilians." Trivers told the Harvard Crimson a PED 
official said he was "sworn to secrecy" about who pulled the plug. But Trivers 
blames Dershowitz, who sits as a faculty affiliate on PED, or Epstein, who 
donated $6.5 million to create PED and has retained Dershowitz as a defense 
lawyer against his 2006 indictment for soliciting underage prostitutes. 
Epstein's lawyer, Gerald Lefcourt, had no comment. Dershowitz told us 
Trivers "has a reputation as a barroom brawler and has threatened to beat me 
up"- but he insisted he had nothing to do with the cancellation.

It was just about a year ago that Jeffrey Epstein, the reclusive financier, was 
being charged with soliciting prostitutes in Palm Beach, Fla. He may now 
have another image problem on his hands. 
BusinessWeek reports that Mr. Epstein's Virgin Islands-based money-management firm, 
Financial Trust Company, is listed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission as a stakeholder in Bear Stearns's High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies 
Enhanced Leverage Fund, which became much easier to refer to in recent weeks as "Bear 
Stearns' collapsing hedge fund."

Mr. Epstein did not respond to BusinessWeek's calls, and his lawyer had no comment. 
Of course, Mr. Epstein is not alone in his exposure to the fund. A fund-of-funds managed 
by Paris-based BNP Paribas is listed in the S.E.0 filing as well. That fund was also 
heavily invested in Wood River Partners, a $127 million fund that imploded in 2005. 
Bear Stearns says it will reveal the details of the fund's losses next week. 
Another Bear Stearns fund that got into trouble recently (with the same ridiculously long 
name as the other fund, except without the words "enhanced leverage") is being propped 
up by loans from the firm. It was down about to percent as of April. The younger, 
"enhanced" fund is more heavily leveraged, and Bear Stearns has said it won't provide any 
financing for it.

Bear Stearns' Collateral Damage 
Money manager Jeffrey Epstein, BNP Paribas, and other investors are mired in Bear's 
troubled hedge fund that bet big on subprime mortgages 
by Matthew Goldstein 
The implosion of a hedge fund often sheds some unwanted attention on the wealthy investors who those to sink 
money into the venture. That's certainly the case with an 11-month-old Bear Stearns hedge fund that bet heavily 
on risky bonds backed by subprime mortgages and is teetering on the verge of collapse (see 
BusinessWeek.com, 7/9/07, "Mutually As_sured Mayhem.). 
One of the bigger investors in the troubled Bear Steams fund is Jeffrey Epstein, a former Bear Stearns trader 
turned money manager for the super-rich, according to regulatory filings. Over the past year, Epstein has 
garnered his fair share of notoriety and sensational headlines. Last July, prosecutors in Florida charged the 
onetime math teacher with soliciting sex from prostitutes at his Palm Beach (Fla.) mansion. Palm Beach police 
also alleged that the 53-year-old Epstein paid teenage girls to give him nude massages, but prosecutors did not 
charge him with that offense. 
"MONEY MAN OF MYSTERY" 
The racy allegations involving Epstein—once labeled New York's most eligible bachelor by the New York Post—
have been good fodder for the New York tabloids and gossipy Wall Street Web sites such as Dealbreaker.com. 
Now it appears Epstein may have another public relations headache on his hands over an ill-fated big bet on a 
hedge fund set up by Bear Steams (BSC) last summer—right around the time he was getting into trouble with 
the law. 
Epstein's Virgin Islands-based money-management firm, Financial Trust Company, is listed in the SEC filing as a 
"beneficial owner" of the Bear Steams High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage fund. A 
January filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission describes Epstein's firm as having "the power to 
vote or dispose of" 10% or more of the equity of the hedge fund, which raised $642 million from investors last 
summer. But the hedge fund's purchasing power was much bigger, given its ability to borrow billions of dollars 
from banks such as Barclays (BCS), Goldman Sachs (GS), Deutsche Bank (DB), Citigroup (C), and Bank of 
America (BAC). 
Epstein, who splits his time between Manhattan, Palm Beach, and St. Thomas, didn't return several phone calls. 
Gerald Lefcourt, one of the criminal defense lawyers helping Epstein fend off the solicitation charge, had no

comment. Epstein, once described by New York magazine as an "international money man of mystery," 
reportedly won't take on any clients who aren't billionaires. One of Epstein's longtime clients is Leslie Wexner, 
the billionaire founder and CEO of the Limited Brands (LTD) retail chain. 
BIG LOSERS 
Even beyond his money-management business, Epstein has cut a high-profile figure. Over the years, he has 
befriended powerful politicians, celebrities, and academics, including former President Bill Clinton, Donald 
Trump, and law professor Alan Dershowitz. 
Epstein isn't the only supposedly savvy money manager to the super-rich to throw money into the Bear Stearns 
funds. A so-called hedge fund-of-funds managed by Paris-based BNP Paribas (BNPQY) also is listed on an SEC 
filing as a beneficial owner of the same beleaguered Bear Stearns fund in which Epstein invested. A BNP 
spokeswoman declined to comment. A person familiar with BNP's Ozcar Multi-Strategy fund, which invests in a 
variety of different hedge funds, says the problems at Bear Stearns should have minimal impact on Ozcar's 
performance. 
Still, this isn't the first time the BNP fund has made a disastrous bet on a hedge fund. The Ozcar fund, and other 
affiliated BNP funds, invested about $49 million in Wood River Partners, a onetime $127 million hedge fund that 
went bust in October, 2005, amid allegations of fraudulent trading. On May 30, John Whittier, the former 
manager of the hedge fund, pleaded guilty in federal court in Manhattan to charges of carrying out a scheme to 
defraud investors in the fund. The Ozcar fund, of which little is publicly known, is looking at having invested in 
two big losers in its brief four-year existence. 
TAINTED REPUTATION? 
The hedge fund that Epstein and BNP invested in is barely holding on after using billions in borrowed money to 
buy risky bonds backed by ailing subprime mortgages. The fund was down 23% for the year as of the end of 
April. Bear Stearns says it will provide a full accounting for the funds' losses sometime next week. In June, Bear 
Stearns suspended investor redemptions. Some frustrated Investors are offering to sell their shares in the 
beleaguered hedge fund for as little as 10 cents on the dollar in the secondary market. Other investors are 
contemplating litigation. The Securities and Exchange Commission, meanwhile, has launched a preliminary 
investigation into the events leading up to the collapse of the fund (see BusinessWeek.com, 6/25/07, "Bear's Big 
Loss Attracts SEC Attention"). 
A sister fund also run by Bear Stearns is faring a bit better, but that's only because the big Wall Street firm has 
opted to prop up that entity with $1.6 billion in loans (see BusinessWeek.com, 6/22/07, "Bear Stearns to the 
Rescue—Sort Of"). The four-year-old Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Leverage fund was 
down about 10% as of the end of April. Bear Stearns has suspended investor redemptions in that fund, too. The 
Wall Street firm, however, has decided not to provide any financing to the younger fund, which was more heavily 
leveraged and indebted. 
The near-collapse of the two Bear Stearns funds has sparked widespread concern on Wall Street because both 
hedge funds used billions in borrowed money to buy sophisticated securities called collateralized debt 
obligations. Popularly known as CDOs, these bond-like securities are hard-to-value investments that rarely 
trade. There is fear that the mass liquidation of the CDOs still held by the two hedge funds could cause a 
widespread devaluation in CDO prices. The trouble with the two hedge funds has already forced a management 
shakeup at Bear Stearns' asset management division and ultimately may end up sullying its reputation.

Spare us the outrage 
An 11-month police investigation 
led to an indictment on one felony 
charge of solicitation of prostitution. 
That was in July 2006, and part-time 
Palm Beacher Jeffrey Epstein still 
has faced no repercussions for al-
legedly preying on underage girls. 
So maybe Mr. Epstein is satisfied 
that he's getting his money worth 
from his large legal team, which 
includes Harvard Law School Pro-
fessor Alan Dershowitz (remember 
• OJ. Simpson?) and Kenneth Starr 
(remember Monica Lewinsky?). 
Jack Goldberger of West Palm 
Beach, who 
also on the team, 
told Post columnist Jose Lambiet in 
November: "This case is absolutely 
• going to end without a trial within 
the next two months." 
He was wrong, but Mr. Gold-
berger remains on Mr. Epsteink 
• payroll, feigning moral outrage at 
two lawsuits filed this year against 
• the- Manhattan money manager. 
The lawsuits allege sexual exploita-
tion of teenaged girls, one of them 
as young as 14. Said Mr. Goldberger 
ifter the first lawsuit, seeking more 
Lawyers for accused sex 
predator sound foolish. 
than $50 million, was filed on Jan. 
24: "We think this shows what this 
case is all about: money." Yes, it is 
— Mr. Epstein's effort to buy his 
way out of prosecution. 
According to the lawyer of a 17-
year-old whose parents are suing 
him, Mr. Epstein masturbated in 
front of her (she was 14 at the time) 
and used a vibrator on her at his 
home in February 2005. Another 
Epstein attorney, Lilly Ann Sanchez 
dismissed it: "Jeffrey Epstein did 
not have sex with this woman." 
For those girls who claim that he 
did, Mr. Epsteint.lawyers maintain 
that he did not know their ages, de-
spite a police search of his home and 
garbage that found phone messages 
about the girls' school schedules 
and even a high school transcript. 
For all of his money, Mn Epstein's 
best defense remains "I didn't know 
'that I was a criminal pervert'?
