U.S. Department of Justice United States Attorney Southern District of Florida VIA FACSIMILE Michael R. Tein, Esq. Lewis Tein, P.L. 3059 Grand Avenue, Suite 340 Coconut Grove, FL 33133 Re: Jeffrey Epstein Dear Mr. Tein: 500 South Australian Ave., Suite 400 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 (561) 820-8711 Facsimile: (561) 820-8777 July 17, 2008 The Office has reviewed your "Notice of Continued Pendency of Federal Criminal Action," and we feel that it misrepresents the posture of the federal investigation. For example, you cite to In re Grand Jury, No. FGJ 07-103 (WPB), as evidence that the federal criminal action remains pending. That is a citation to Mr. Epstein's Motion to Quash a subpoena for computer equipment removed from Mr. Epstein's home after he and his attorneys were aware of the existence of the state investigation. Pursuant to the Non- Prosecution Agreement, that motion was supposed to have been withdrawn several months ago, and, therefore, is not "pending" in our estimation. The Non-Prosecution Agreement calls for deferment of federal prosecution "in favor of prosecution by the State of Florida, provided that Epstein abides by the [enumerated] conditions and the requirements of th[e] Agreement .. ." (Non-Prosecution Agreement, p. 2 (emphasis added).) One of those conditions is Epstein's agreement that the subject Jane Does, while minors, were victims of a violation of an offense enumerated in Title 18, United States Code Section 2255, and that they "will have the same rights to proceed under Section 2255 as [they] would have had if Mr. Epstein had been tried and convicted of an enumerated offense." (United States Attorney's December 19, 2007 letter to Lilly Ann Sanchez.) If, in fact, your position is that the federal criminal action is still pending such that the Court must stay the civil proceedings, then the Office proposes that we seek the prompt resolution of the Motion to Quash, so that the computer equipment can be analyzed and the EFTA00194465

MICHAEL TEM, ESQ. JULY 17, 2008 PAGE 2 federal investigation can continue. If, instead, Mr. Epstein intends to fully abide by the Non- Prosecution Agreement, then the "federal Grand Jury investigation will remain suspended, and all pending federal Grand Jury subpoenas will be held in abeyance unless and until [Epstein] violates any term of [the Non-Prosecution Agreement]." (Non-Prosecution Agreement, page 5.) Please advise whether you intend to correct the representations to the Court regarding the status of the federal investigation.

From: King, Damon iii Sent: Thursda Jul 19, 2007 2:37 PM To: Corbet, (USACAC); USAEO-PSC-Coordinators Subject: RE: Disc osing identifying information about victims Jen: We're not aware of any rule that requires the Government to provide the address of a victim, child or not. Of course, the defendant is entitled to conduct his own investigation which may reveal victim address information and in the age of public databases (ChoicePoint, Lexis/Nexis, etc.), it Is prudent to assume that trhough the defendant's own investigation this information will be obtained. We've had good experiences/results by getting a Guardian ad Litem GAL appointed under 3509 (along w/employing the other provisions in the sections) and found it to be a very helpful in legal mechanism to employ to protect the child victims from harassment and intimidation, with the additional benefits and ensuring appropriate services are provided to the child and facilitating the child's testimony. I've attached some samples from In a sex trafficking case involving a wealthy defendant and 3 minor victims which the court granted over defense objections/opposition. Of note, intimidation and harassment of the child victim can be discouraged to some degree through this mechanism without necessity of obtaining a protective order because once a GAL is appointed to represent a child, the child would be a "person represented by counsel" under the Rule 4.2 of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct precluding the defense attorney (or person on the atty's behalf) from speaking with the child victim w/o permission from the GAL (of course, the prosecutor would need to get the same permission). As note 2 to the rule states, "This Rule applies to communications with any person who is represented by counsel concerning the matter to which the communication relates." Some additional resources that may be helpful are attached such as the Attorney General Guidelines on Victim and Witness Assistance 2005 Article VI (Guidelines for Child Victims and Child Witnesses), USA Bulletin articles, and the ABA Guidelines for GALs. - dak Damon A.
