August 20, 2014 Wifredo A. Ferrer United States Attorney Southern District of Florida RE: Jane Does I and 21 United Stales Case No. : 08-80736-Civ-Marra/Johnson Dear Mr. Ferrer: As you know, we have been in litigation for more than six years on a case under the Crime Victims' Rights Act — a case that involves decisions that were all made before you took office and that gave Jeffrey Epstein an expansive non-prosecution agreement. Several years ago you were nice enough to meet with us and one of our clients to discuss the case, which we 'really I appreciated. More recently we contacted the line attorneys working on the case to see if we could reach some stipulated facts on various issues surrounding the case. It is in that spirit of trying to avoid unnecessary battles that we wanted to alert you to a motion we are preparing to file to see whether this could be a stipulated motion. Our CVRA case is brought on behalf of two sexual assault victims — Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2. We would like to add a third victim to the case — Jane Doe #3. Her true name is although we would seek to keep her identity confidential during the proceedings. We contacted your office about prosecuting the crimes Jeffrey Epstein committed against her a couple years ago when we realized that she was not includes in the NPA; however, we were told that despite not knowing about this particular victim when the agreement with Epstein was reached, the NPA was drafted so broadly as to preclude criminal charges for the crimes committed against her. Adding her to the case will not expand the issues in the case. Nor will it result in any new discovery or additional delay. EFTA00188811

Shc is keenly interested in having our CVRA case fairly resolved. We also note that, under the CVRA, Justice Department prosecutors are obligated to use their "best efforts" to help protect crime victims' rights. As such, we ask for your stipulation to this amendment. A copy of our soon-to-be-filed motion is attached. We wanted to show you what it looked like in hopes that you might be able to support it.

UNITED STATES r JANE DOE #3'S MOTION TO JOIN CVRA ACTION COME NOW Jane Doe #3, by and through undersigned counsel, to move this Court to join this action. Because Jane Doe #3's rights have been violated in the same way as the two other victims, and because the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) contains no statute of limitations, she should be allowed to join this action. As the Court is aware, more than six years ago Jane Doe #1 filed the present action against the United States, alleging a violation of her rights under the CVRA, 18 U.S.C. § 3771. She alleged that Jeffrey Epstein had sexually abused her and that the United States had entered into a secret non-prosecution agreement regarding those crimes in violation of her rights. At the first court hearing on the case, the Court allowed Jane Doe #2 to also join the action. Both Jane Doe 111 and Jane Doe #2 specifically argued that the government had failed to protect their CVRA rights (inter alia) to confer, to reasonable notice, and to be treated with fairness. In response. the Government argued that the CVRA rights did not apply to Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 because no federal charges had ever been filed against Jeffrey Epstein. EFTA00188813

Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM -document 291-2 Entered on FLSD _Ket 01/21/2015 Page 5 of 9 Last June, the Court rejected the United States' position. The Court concluded that the CVRA extended rights to Jane Doe til and Jane Doe #2 even though charges were never filed. The Court explained that because the NPA barred prosecution of crimes committed against them by Epstein, they had "standing" to assert violations of the CVRA rights. DE 189. The Court deferred ruling on whether the two victims would be entitled to relief, pending development of a fuller evidentiary record. Jane Doe #31 was sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein more than twenty times in and alter the summer of 2002. Thereafter, in 2007, when the United States entered into its non- prosecution agreement with Epstein, the United States had identified more than 40 victims by name and knew that many more existed. Jane Doe #3 was unknown to the United States, yet the United States entered into an agreement with Epstein — the NPA — which purports to preclude prosecution against Epstein in the Southern District of Florida, even for serious sexual offenses against Jane Doe #3 that are not barred by the Statute of Limitations. Jane Doe #3 was never even contacted by the United States, yet the United States contracted away her rights. Jane Doe #3 now moves to join the action filed by Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2. She believes that her rights were violated in the same fashion as the other victims. Adding her to this case will not prejudice the United States. Jane Doe #3 does not seek any additional discovery beyond that previously sought by Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2. Accordingly. the United States will not be prejudiced or burdened by adding her to this case. Indeed, adding her to this case may simplify certain issues, as it appears that the United States 1 Because she was sexually assaulted as a minor, Jane Doc #3 proceeds in this motion by way of a pseudonym. 2 EFTA00188814

November 19. 2014 VIA CERTIFIED MAIL 7009 1680 0000 4959 2808 Wifredo A. Ferrer United States Attorney Southern District of Florida 99 N.G. 4th Street Miami. FL 33132 RE: Jane Does I and 2 1 United States Case No.: 08-80736-Civ-Marra/Johnson Dear Mr. Ferrer: I sent you a letter in August requesting your office's stipulation to our adding Jane Doe #3 in this case. Unfortunately. we did not receive a response from your office. We are hopeful that your lack of a response was simple oversight. In addition to following up on the August letter, we are now requesting your Stipulation to the adding of Jane Doe #4 as well. Her true name is She was identified by your office during the Federal Investigation, and consequently her name appeared on the list of victims attached to Mr. Epstein's Non-Prosecution Agreement. As we expressed in our personal meetings a couple years ago. we don't understand the tactical decision to be adversarial to the victims of known sexual abuse on every point in this litigation. Now that many of those issues we discussed have been resolved in our favor, it seems to make even more sense to avoid engaging in unnecessary battles that could only serve the purpose of delaying the victims' rights to have this case resolved on its merits. As I indicated in my August letter requesting your stipulation to the adding of Jane Doe #3, adding Jane Doe #4 will also not delay matters, so long as we can stipulate to her being added. Without a stipulation, we foresee litigation over this point, which will produce nothing but additional delay — and further question about your Office's commitment to full protection of victims' rights under the Crime Victims Rights Act.

Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM --Jcument 291-3 Entered on FLSD -Ket 01/21/2015 Page 3 of 3 Wifredo A. Ferrer November 19.2014 Page 2 Your office is very familiar with and her circumstance. She was sexually trafficked and abused by Mr. Epstein (and others at the direction of Mr. Epstein) not only in this jurisdiction but throughout the United Slates and beyond. Unlike Jane Doe #3. Jane Doe #4 was included as a named victim in the NPA. There is no statute of limitations in bringing such claims, and I think we would agree that the current case is the best vehicle through which to bring these claims, as opposed to forcing us to file new actions and starting over on issues and claims inextricably intertwined with the current litigation. We don't see a good reason for denying our motion, so we anticipate prevailing at the end. But even if you were to object and prevail on the motion to add her to the current litigation, the only consequence would be that would then file a separate CVRA lawsuit, something she is entitled to do because the CVRA contains no time limit. We are simply trying avoid all this entirely unnecessary complication. We have, throughout this case, consciously avoided filing anything that would unnecessarily cast your office in a bad light, and it is again with that in mind that we request your stipulation here. We need this stipulation by December 10, 2014 to avoid delaying any other aspects of this case. We will not file any pleadings on this subject before that date. Lastly. we feel that we are once again at a stage in this litigation where it may make sense to meet again face-to-face to attempt to resolve, or at least narrow, some issues in an effort to avoid litigating some of the matters that we will be forced to litigate if the parties continue along this unreasonably adversarial path.

When we spoke a few months ago, I told you that we represented
and were considering
adding her to this suit. At the time of our call we asked if you would agree to our adding her, and I understood
that you would have to check with others. Consequently, I sent a couple of letters to Mr. Ferrer that I have
attached to this email. I was hoping for a response letting me know that the Office would not oppose the
amendments adding Doe 3 and 4. We also suggested in the letters that perhaps a meeting is in order at this
point. I know you cannot speak for Mr. Ferrer on that point, which was another reason for addressing the
letter to him.
I realize our 11/19 letter asked for a response by the 10th. However, I was hoping you could give me some
indication whether we will get an answer before the 10th (and perhaps what that answer will be), because if
there will not be an agreement to adding these Plaintiffs then I want to get the Motion prepared. Let me
know something as soon as you can. Thanks.
