JAY P. LEFKOWFIZ, ESQ. , 2008 PAGE 2 OF 5 Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Mice Fisher. As you recall, you chose to forego an appeal to AAG Fisher, and instead pursued a negotiated resolution which, ultimately, resulted in the execution of the Agreement. The Negotiation Phase During negotiations, you tried to avoid a resolution that called for incarceration and registration as a sexual offender — both of which would be triggered by a successful federal prosecution. The SDFL believed and continues to believe that should this matter proceed to trial, your client would be convicted of the federal statutes identified in the Agreement. In order to achieve a global resolution, the SDFL indicated a willingness to compromise the length of incarceration; however, it remained adamant that Epstein register as a sex offender and that all victims identified during the investigation remain eligible for compensation. In order to achieve this result, the parties considered two alternatives, a plea to federal charges that limited Epstein's sentencing exposure, or, as suggested by you, a plea to state charges encompassing Epstein's conduct. Ultimately, the parties agreed to, inter alia, a plea to the state charges outlined in the Agreement, registration and a method of compensation. The Agreement The crux of the Agreement defers federal prosecution of Epstein for his sexual conduct involving those minor victims identified as of September 24, 2007, in exchange for a guilty plea to a state offense that requires registration as a sex offender; a sufficient term of imprisonment; and a method of compensation for the victims such that they would be placed in the same position as if Epstein had been convicted of one of the enumerated offenses set forth in Title 18, United States Code, Section 2255. Specifically, the Agreement mandates, inter alia, (1) a guilty plea in Palm Beach County Circuit Court to solicitation ofprostitution (FL Stat. Section 796.07) and procurement of minors to engage in prostitution (FL Stat. Section 796.03) (an offense that requires him to register as a sex offender); (2) a 30-month sentence including 18 months' incarceration in county jail; (3) a methodology to compensate the victims identified by the United States; (4) entry of the guilty plea and sentence no later than October 26, 2007; and (5) the start of the above-mentioned sentence no later than January 4, 2008. Furthermore, and significantly, Epstein agreed that he had the burden of ensuring compliance of the Agreement with the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office and the Judge of the 15`11 Judicial Circuit and "that the failure to do so will be a breach of the agreement" (emphasis added). Post-Execution of the Agreement Within weeks of the execution of the Agreement, you sought to delay the entry of Epstein's guilty plea and sentence. After the SDFL agreed to accommodate your request, counsel for Epstein began taking issue with the methodology ofcompensation, notification to the victims, and the issues EFTA00194234

that had been previously considered and rejected during negotiations, i.e., that the conduct does not
require registration and the contemplated state and federal statutes have no applicability to the instant
matter.
A.
Delay.
The Agreement required that "Epstein shall use his best efforts to enter his guilty plea and
be sentenced not later than October 26, 2007. The United States has no objection to Epstein self-
reporting to begin serving his sentence not later than January 4, 2008." Agreement, pages 4-5,
paragraph 11 (emphasis added). After the Agreement was executed, the SDFL 'accommodated your
request to extend the October 26th plea deadline to November 20t based upon, what seemed to be,
reasonable scheduling conflict issues.' By early November, you represented that the presiding state
court judge would not "stagger the plea and sentencing as contemplated in the Agreement."Although
the Agreement clearly did not contemplate a staggered "plea and sentencing," the SDFL again agreed
to accommodate Epstein's request to appear in state court for plea and sentencing on January 4,
2908.2
B.
Method of Compensation and Notification.
During this same time period, you and others, including the former Solicitor General of the
United States Kenneth Starr, took issue with the implementation of the methodology of
compensation (hereinafter "the 2255 provision")3 and the SDFL's intention to notify the victims
under 18 U.S.C. Section 3771 (you objected to victims being notified of time and place of Epstein's
"Accordingly, I have now confirmed with Mr. Epstein's Florida counsel that the states
attorney's office and the court will be available to have him enter his plea on November 20. So we will
plan to proceed on one that date." October 18, 2007 email from Jay Lefkowitz to USA R. Alexander
Acosta.
On the same day, Mr. Lefkowitz confirmed with First Assistant Jeffrey II. Sloman that this
postponement " will not affect when Epstein begins serving his sentence."
2 Correspondence from Jay Lefkowitz to FAUSA Sloman dated November 8, 2007 ("the judge
has invited the parties to appear for the plea and sentencing on January 46, we do not anticipate any delay
beyond that date.")
3 Prior to any issues arising concerning the implementation of the 2255 provision, the SDFL
unilaterally agreed to assign its responsibility to select the attorney representative for the alleged victims
to an independent third-party. This was done to avoid even the appearance of favoritism in the selection
of the attorney representative. As a result, on October 29, 2007, the parties executed an Addendum
wherein it was mutually agreed that former United States District Court Judge Edward B.
would
serve as the independent third-party. Judge
selected the venerable law firm of Podhurst and
Josefsberg to represent the approximately 34 alleged identified victims.

JAY P. LEFICOWITZ, ESQ. , 2008 PAGE 4 OF 5 state court sentencing hearing). In response, the SDFL offered, in my opinion, numerous and various reasonable modifications and accommodations which ultimately resulted in United States Attorney R. Alexander Acosta's December 19, 2007 letter to Lilly Ann Sanchez. In that letter, the United States Attorney tried to eliminate all concerns which, quite frankly, the SDFL was not obligated to address, let alone consider. He proposed the following language regarding the 2255 provision: "Any person, who while a minor, was a victim of a violation of an offense enumerated in Title 18, United States Code, Section 2255, will have the same rights to proceed under Section 2255 as she would have had, if Mr. Epstein been tried federally and convicted of an enumerated offense. For purposes of implementing this paragraph, the United States shall provide Mr. Epstein's attorneys with a list of individuals whom it was prepared to name in an Indictment as victims of an enumerated offense by Mr. Epstein. Any judicial authority interpreting this provision, including any authority determining which evidentiary burdens if any a plaintiff must meet, shall consider that it is the intent of the parties to place these identified victims in the same position as they would have been had Mr. Epstein been convicted at trial. No more; no less." Regarding the issue of notice to the victims, USA Acosta proposed to notify them of the federal resolution as required by law; however, "[vi]e will defer to the discretion of the State Attorney regarding whether he wishes to provide victims with notice of the state proceedings, although we will provide him with the information necessary to do so if he wishes." As you know, you rejected these proposals as well. See December 26, 2007 correspondence from Jay Lefkowitz to USA Acosta. C. "Mr. Epstein Does Not Believe He Is Guilty Of The Federal Charges Enumerated Under Section 2255." At our December 14, 2007 meeting at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami, counsel for Epstein announced, inter alia, that it was a "profound injustice" to require Epstein to register as a sex offender and reiterated that no federal crime, especially 18 U.S.C. Section 2422(b), had been committed since the statute is only violated if a telephone or means of interstate commerce is used to do the persuading or inducing. This particular attack on this statute had been previously raised and thoroughly considered and rejected by the SDFL and CEOS prior to the execution ofthe Agreement. You also argued that the facts were inapplicable to the contemplated state statutes and that Epstein should not have been allowed to have been induced into the Agreement because the facts were not what he understood them to be. It should be noted that the SDFL has never provided you with any evidence supporting its investigation. This is not, and has never been, an Alford plea situation (see North Carolina Alford, 400 U.S. 25, 91 S.Ct. 160 (1970)). Ultimately, you requested an independent review. Subsequent to the above-mentioned meeting, the SDFL received three letters from you and/or Mr. Starr which expanded on some of the themes announced in the December 14th meeting. EFTA00194236
Sivu 284 / 651
JAY P. LEFKOWEIZ, ESQ. , 2008 PAGE 5 OF 5 Essentially, you portrayed the SDFL as trying to coerce a plea to unknown allegations and incoherent theories. On December 17, 2007, you decreed that Epstein's conduct did not meet the requirements of solicitation of minors to engage in prostitution (Fl. Stat. Section 796.03) one of the enumerated crimes Epstein had previously agreed to plead guilty to; that Epstein's conduct does not require registration under Florida law; and the State Attorney's Office does not believe the conduct is registrable. On December 21, 2007, you rejected the USA's proposed resolution of the 2255 provision because you "strongly believe that the provable conduct of Mr. Epstein with respect to these individuals fails to satisfy the requisite elements of either 18 U.S.C. Section[s] 2422(b) ... or 2423(b)." In your December 26, 2007 correspondence you stated that "we have reiterated in previous submissions that Mr. Epstein does not believe he is guilty of the federal charges enumerated under section 2255" and requiring "Mr. Epstein to in essence admit guilt, though he believes he did not commit the requisite offense." As the SDFL has reiterated time and time again, it does not want nor does it expect Epstein to plead guilty to a charge he does not believe he committed. As a result, we obliged your request for an independent de novo teview of the investigation and facilitated such a review at the highest levels of the Department of Justice. It is our understanding that that independent review is now complete and a determination has been made that there are no impediments to a federal prosecution by the SDFL. Conclusion Therefore, as I proposed in my email to you on February 25, 2008, you shall have until , to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including plea, sentence, and incarceration, as modified by the USA's December 19th letter to Ms. Sanchez. Sincerely, IL Alexander Acosta. United States Attorney By: Jeffrey H. Sloman First Assistant United States Attorney cc: R. Alexander Acosta United States Attorney A.

Roy said that he had called because he had heard that Rolando had discussed the matter with Barry Krischer and Roy wanted to see if there was any way to wrap this up before July 7'h. Roy also said that he had seen a letter from Jeff Sloman that said that the matter of incarceration would be left to the State. (I am not certain what letter he is referring to, but I think Jeff wrote a letter about not taking a position on where Epstein would be incarcerated, not the length of time.) So, Roy wondered whether we would go away if Epstein took Barry's 60-day deal. Karen explained that Rolando had not had substantive discussions with Barry about the case and that all communication regarding the case is being handled by Karen and me. In response to the question of whether there was anything that could "make this go away," we said that our position is that if Epstein stops the process in Washington and pleads in accordance with the terms of the signed agreement, then we will perform pursuant to the agreement. Karen explained that if Epstein pleads to something else or gets sentenced to a lower amount, then we will consider that a breach of our agreement and we will proceed accordingly. On that note, has there been any word from Washington? Thank you. A. Marie Villafafia Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.

(USAFLS) To: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS) Sent: Fri Jun 27 21:28:46 2008 Subject: Agreement Hi Jeff - Hadn't heard back, so I figured this would be easiest way to communicate. I got a call back from Jack Goldberger, incensed that I was somehow accusing him of trying to get out of the agreement. I was taken aback because the response was completely out of line with the questions I was asking. From my dealings with Jack, this just made me more suspicious than I was originally. Anyhow, Jack said that "this was the only way to do the consecutive jail time." And he "swore" that Epstein would be in custody 24-hours-a-day during the community confinement portion of the sentence. He also insisted that Epstein had been charged with a substantive procurement offense, not attempt. He did, however, let it slip that Epstein would not be at the jail, he would be at the stockade out on the fairgrounds (a low security "camp"). Since we specifically discussed this at the meeting with Barry Krisher months ago that Epstein would be at the Gun Club facility (the jail), this certainly violates the spirit of the agreement, if not the letter. I talked to Millian, who used to be with the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office before joining our office. She said, first, that it was extremely strange to call it the "Palm Beach County Detention Center," rather than the jail, but I explained that I thought Epstein's people were trying to make us believe he was going to the jail even though he wasn't and this was their way to "finesse" the situation. also explained that the normal way for the plea agreement to read is a consecutive term of six months imprisonment to be followed by one year of community control - in other words, Goldberger's statement that this was the "only way" to do the consecutive sentence is false. I did find a statute that says that if two sentences are imposed consecutively that result in a sentence of greater than one year, the judge is supposed to send the defendant to a state prison rather than a county facility, so that may be why they are wording it this way. also said that typically the term "community control" means home 775 EFTA00194241
Sivu 289 / 651
confinement, and she has never seen imprisonment used as a condition of "community control." She has seen such a condition in connection with a sentence of probation, but not community control. Also, she and I did a state guideline calculation for Epstein's plea, and, if done correctly, he should be looking at 51 months. The only way that Lanna could avoid that calculation is if she tells the judge that there was no sexual contact. That, of course, would be completely false. In short, something smells very bad. My suggestion is to ask that we ask them to add one word to the second sentencing paragraph of the plea agreement with the state, as follows: the Defendant is sentenced to 18 months Community Control 1 (one). As a special condition of this Community Control, the Defendant must serve the first 6 months INCARCERATED [or IMPRISONED] in the Palm Beach County Detention Facility . . . If they object to this small change - which according to Goldberger is intended by the language already there - then we will know that something is extremely fishy. What do you think? A.

Karen sent me an email about epstein wanting to do less time. I hope that his request will be denied. The original deal was supposed to be 2 years so he has already gotten a big break. Plus we have identified more victims since we agreed to the 18 months. Please keep me posted. Thanks. 1 EFTA00194253
