Plea deal denied for dad accused of killing baby 
By LARRY KELLER 
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer 
Tuesday, November 20, 2007 
WEST PALM BEACH — A judge on Monday rejected a plea deal for Charles 
Tyson, who is accused of killing his 9-month-old son, saying that the circumstances 
surrounding the child's death "were egregious to say the least." 
Instead, Circuit Judge Sandra MeSorley set a date of April 21 for Tyson's case to go 
to trial. even though the dead baby's family supported the proposed deal.

Tyson, 22. was charged in April 2006 with 
first-degree murder and two counts of 
aggravated child abuse. 
Delray Beach police said he threw his son, 
Charles "C.J." Tyson Jr.. out a car window. 
then slammed him onto the hood of the car 
- denting it - before tossing him into a lake 
following an argument with the baby's 
teenage mother. Shameka Mosley. 
The state attorney's office had sought the 
death penalty on the murder charge. But 
prosecutor Lanna Belohlavek and Assistant 
Public Defender Adrienne Ellis reached 
agreement with Tyson on a plea to second-
degree murder and one child abuse charge

Mosley and her mother "are people of 
amazing forgiveness," Belohlavek told McSorley. "They feel like this was a night unlike any other and 
feel it wouldn't happen again." 
They also wanted to avoid the stress of a trial, she said.

Page 2 of 2 
McSorley remained unconvinced, especially after Belohlavek told her that she hadn't notified Delray 
Beach police of Monday's plea bargain hearing. The judge said she didn't understand how the 
prosecution could go from a possible death sentence to 30 years in prison, when life in prison also was 
an option. 
Belohlavek and Ellis then tried for about eight minutes to persuade McSorley, out of earshot of court 
spectators, to agree to the plea deal. 
"I find this plea to be wholly unacceptable." McSorley said when they finished. For now, the original 
charges are intact against Tyson and the death penalty "remains on the table." a state attorney's office 
spokeswoman said. 
Shameka Mosley left the courtroom without commenting. Her mother, Joanne Mosley, wore a shirt with 
C.J.'s photo on it. She said Tyson has been well-known to her family for many years. 
Five months before her grandson died, she called police and child welfare officials to say that she didn't 
think Tyson and her daughter were capable of caring for the baby. She also said Tyson had tried to grab 
C.J. from her arms during an argument, pulling on the infant's arm and leg until she let go, afraid he 
would be hurt. No injuries were detected on C.J., and no action was taken. 
"Something was wrong with Charles. I told people he had emotional problems," Joanne Mosley said. 
tears streaming down her face. 
"We need to find out what caused this to happen. Charles didn't do this out of spite. I love my grandson. 
I miss him dearly. But I miss Charles. too. He don't deserve life in jail."

The New York Post called alleged 
Jeffrey Epstein victim Maximila 
Cordero a slut and a money grubbing 
liar, told her family she had VD. then 
handed the mie to the flack the paper 
shares with accused rapist Epstein, 
according to a new $1 million suit filed 
by Cordero and her 
attorney/roommate/former boyfriend 
(and occasionally unhinged 
seahorse enthusiast, William J. 
Unroch 
Unroch and Cordero, who have sued 
former financier (and onetime Radar 
investor) Jeffrey "Janice" Epstein 
over repeated sexual misconduct 
while she was a minor, write in a new 
lawsuit that "the defendant NYP 
Holdings, Inc d/b/a New York Post 
and its employees and agents engaged in a vicious smear campaign to 'rape' a 
teenage sex assault victim a second time" through a series of stories. The suit 
goes on to accuse the Post of calling Cordero a "slut liar, and transvestite who 
lied about being sexually assaulted by Epstein to steal money" from him. 
CROSS Cordero. Unroch 
In one of the most sweeping accusations. the suit claims that the Post used the 
publicist it shares with Epstein. Howard Rubenstein. "to paint an outrageous. 
false. and defamatory portrait of the victim plaintiff and her attorney as 'money-
seeking lawyers and their women'. The Post did not advise their readers that 
Rubenstein worked for the paper and gave the impression that Rubenstein was 
only employed by Epstein. Defendants intentionally quoted phony websites from

brother. and other relatives and wrongfully told them the plaintiff suffered from a 
sexually transmitted disease ... failed to issue a retraction when the undisputed 
falsity of their story was presented to them, violated New York State medical 
privacy laws and rape shield laws to try and obtain confidential medical and 
other records about plaintiff, violated Journalism ethics standards for the 
treatment of sexual assault victims, and engaged in an outrageous pattern of 
malicious, false, defamatory, and reckless conduct which violated the standards 
of journalistic integrity..." 
Conspicuously absent from the accusations is the Post's revelation that Cordero 
was born a man. A source tells Radar that the initial filing of the suit by Unroch 
includes as an exhibit a birth certificate, which showed Cordero being born 
Maximilia Cordero, a woman. Reached by phone this weekend, Unroch (with 
Cordero commenting loudly in the background but declining to come to the 
phone), called the Post's behavior "outrageous" but refused to address 
Cordero's birth gender or the authenticity of the birth certificate originally filed. 
"She's a woman," Unroch tells Radar. So, why not go after the Post's gender 
claims? 
"It's a slam dunk case whether she was born a cat, a dog. or a space alien." 
Unroch says. He also claims to have phone records proving a series of calls 
between Epstein and the then-16-year-old Cordero. He names several Post 
reporters in the suit. including one from Australia. whose work status he says he 
plans to question along with the overall foreign labor use by the Post. "They 
came into my junkyard," Unroch says, "and I'm a pitbull. And I'm going to bite 
them so hard that they'll never do this to anyone else." 
Post representatives did not immediately return an e-mail seeking comment.

is known to frequent the City of Pittsburgh. During the traffic stop, an unknown substance that resembled purple play dough 
EFTA00261263

with sparkles throughout was seized. The substance was sent to the Allegheny County Crime Lab and tested positive for MDMA 
(Ecstasy). The Allegheny County Crime Lab reports that this is the only submission of this particular type of Ecstasy. Please contact 
the Intelligence Unit if you encounter this substance. 
Analyst Note : MDMA (3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is a synthetic, psychoactive drug chemically similar to the stimulant 
methamphetamine and the hallucinogen mescaline. Street names for MDMA include Ecstasy, Adam, XTC, hug, beans, and love drug. 
MDMA is an illegal drug that acts as both a stimulant and psychedelic, producing an energizing effect, as well as distortions in time 
and perception and enhanced enjoyment from tactile experiences. MDMA exerts its primary effects in the brain on neurons that use 
the chemical serotonin to communicate with other neurons. The serotonin system plays an important role in regulating mood, 
aggression, sexual activity, sleep, and sensitivity to pain. For some people, MDMA can be addictive. A survey of young adult and 
adolescent MDMA users found that 43 percent of those who reported ecstasy use met the accepted diagnostic criteria for dependence, 
as evidenced by continued use despite knowledge of physical or psychological harm, withdrawal effects, and tolerance 
(or diminished response), and 34 percent met the criteria for drug abuse. Almost 60 percent of people who use MDMA report 
withdrawal 
symptoms, including fatigue, loss of appetite, depressed feelings, and trouble concentrating. 
Cognitive Effects 
Chronic users of MDMA perform more poorly than nonusers on certain types of cognitive or memory tasks. Some of these effects 
may be due to the use of other drugs in combination with MDMA, among other factors. 
Physical Effects 
EFTA00261264

In high doses, MDMA can interfere with the body's ability to regulate temperature. On rare but unpredictable occasions. 
this can lead to a sharp increase in body temperature (hyperthermia), resulting in liver, kidney, and cardiovascular system 
failure, and death. 
Psychological Effects 
These can include confusion, depression, sleep problems, drug craving, and severe anxiety. These problems can occur 
during and sometimes days or weeks after taking MDMA. (Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Intelligence Brief via WRTAC)

Jeffrey epstein is under indictment for sex crimes in Palm Beach, Florida, and I'd expected that when he 
came into the office of PR guru Howard Rubenstein. he would be sober and reserved. Quite the 
opposite. He was sparkling and ingenuous, apologizing for the half-hour lateness with a charming line—
"I never realized how many one-way streets and no-right-turns there are in midtown. I finally got out 
and walked"—and as we went down the corridor to Rubenstein's office, he asked, "Have you managed 
to talk to many of my friends?" Epstein had been supplying me the phone numbers of important 
scientists and financiers and media figures. "Do you undcrstand what an extraordinary group of people

they are, what they have accomplished in their fields?" 
One of the accusers—a girl of 14—had put his age at 45, not in his fifties, and you could see why. His 
walk was youthful, and his face was ruddy with health. He had none of the round-shouldered, burdened 
qualities of middle age. There was nothing in his hands, not a paper, a book, or a phone. Epstein had on 
his signature outfit: new blue jeans and a powder-blue sweater. "I've only ever seen him in jeans," his 
friend the publicist Peggy Siegal had reported, saying there was a hint of arrogance in that, Epstein's 
signal that he doesn't have to wear a uniform like the rest of us. 
I told Epstein and Rubenstein the sort of story New York wanted to do, and Epstein seemed to find ironic 
delight in every word. "A secretive genius," I'd said. "Not secretive, private," he corrected in his warm 
Brooklyn accent. "And if I was a genius I wouldn't be sitting here." "A guy with sex issues." A smile 
formed on Epstein's bow-shaped lips. "What do you mean by sex issues?" Well ... He was 54, had 
never married—I didn't finish. "Are you channeling my mother?" 
When I said we were interested in the agony of his ordeal, Rubenstein wrote out the word agony in 
capital letters on his pad. But agony seemed the last thing on Epstein's soul. "It's the Icarus story, 
someone who flies too close to the sun," I said. "Did Icarus like massages?" Epstein asked. 
Two years before, he had tried to explain himself to the Palm Beach police in the same way. After they 
came into his mansion with a search warrant and carted off massage tables and photos of naked girls and 
soaps shaped like genitalia, Epstein conveyed an urgent message to the detectives through his attorney. 
"Mr. Epstein is very passionate about massages ... The massages are therapeutic and spiritually sound 
for him; that is why he has had many massages." Epstein had even given $100,000 to Ballet Florida's 
massage fund, so that the dancers might also be treated. 
I never got to interview Epstein at length. His dream team of lawyers led by Gerald Lefcourt was 
negotiating a plea with Florida state prosecutors in advance of a January 7 trial date. It is expected that 
Epstein will plead guilty to soliciting prostitution and get an eighteen-month sentence—not that there's 
likely to be a shameful admission. He has always had the confidence that comes with the power to 
dazzle and, though accused of "doing everything in Sodom and Gomorrah," as one friend put it, seemed 
to believe that he could convince any halfway sophisticated person that he wasn't the least bit tawdry. 
"He lives in a different environment," says Siegal. "He's of this world. But he creates this different 
environment. He lives like a pasha. The most magnificent townhouse I've ever been in, and I've been in 
everything. I've seen a model of the house in Santa Fe ... a stone fortress. A model of the house in the 
Caribbean—it is not to be believed. I've seen photographs of the apartment in Paris ... How did he get 
himself into that pickle? That's the mystery of Jeffrey Epstein. He's very mysterious. Not that many 
people get close to him. Not that many people know him." 
The descriptions of Epstein's character veer between visionary and big talker. His world seems to be at 
an astral distance from normal humanity. He lives in what is described as the largest private residence in 
Manhattan, about 50,000 square feet in nine stories between Fifth and Madison on 71st. Visitors report a 
stuffed poodle is on the piano. The house, said one visitor, is like what Hollywood might imagine when 
it tries to show the superrich. When Epstein noticed the visitor's astonishment at his surroundings, he 
leaned against a wall with a soft smile and tapped the paneling. "It's all fake," he said. Epstein grew up 
in Coney Island, the son of a Parks Department employee. He never got a college degree. He studied 
science at Cooper Union and then NYU before migrating inevitably toward wealth. For two years, he 
was a charismatic teacher of physics and math at the Dalton School on the Upper East Side, till Ace 
Greenberg, a friend of the father of one of Epstein's students, offered him a job at Bear Steams. In one

EFTA00261267

A Sex-Crime Investigation Reveals Jeffrey Epstein's Dangerous Dream World -- New Yo... Page 3 of 9 
of the charmingly inevitable accidents of Epstein's rise, Greenberg was a senior partner of the house: 
Bear Steams CEO Jimmy Cayne later told New York that Epstein's forte was dealing with wealthier 
clients, helping them with their overall portfolios. Leslie Wexner, founder of Limited Brands, reportedly 
made Epstein his financial adviser and was instrumental in building his fortune. Epstein was no 
footman; he loved luxury and, in his own words, saw himself as a financial architect, someone who 
could show the rich how to live with their money. "I want people to understand the power, the 
responsibility, and the burden of their money," he once wrote. At times, his powers seemed magical. "I 
think it's all done with mirrors," says Michael Stroll, a Chicago businessman who sued Epstein (and 
lost) when an oil deal didn't work out. 
Nex : Epstein's Icarus moment 
The New Y *ninon 
Redux) 
Stroll says he could never get a straight line from Epstein. "Everybody who's his friend thinks he's so 
dam brilliant because he's so dam wealthy. I never saw any brilliance, I never saw him work. Anybody I 
know that is that wealthy works 26 hours a day. This guy plays 26 hours a day." 
Those who believe in Epstein say that his intelligence works in a lofty and synthetic manner. "His mind 
goes through a cross section of descriptions," says Joe Pagano, a financier. "He can go from 
mathematics to psychology to biology. He takes the smallest amount of information and gets the correct 
answer in the shortest period of time. That's my definition of IQ." 
A Columbia University geneticist says Epstein has that insight in science, too. "He has the ability to 
make connections that other minds can't make," says Richard Axel, a Nobel Prize winner. "He is 
extremely smart and probing. He can very quickly acquire information to think about a problem and also 
to identify biological problems without having all the data that a scientist would have ... He also has an 
extremely short attention span. Why?—it's not that he's bored. He has enough information after fifteen

minutes so that you can see his mind thrashing about, as if in a labyrinth. And even to doubt an expert's 
statements." 
Epstein has been a munificent supporter of cutting-edge research. Axel met Epstein during the early 
biotech days of the eighties. The writer Michael Wolff met him in the Internet bubble, in the late 
nineties, when Epstein invited him and a group of scientists and media types to fly to a conference on 
the West Coast in his beautiful 727. 
"It was all a little giddy," Wolff says. "There's a little food out, lovely hors d'oeuvre. And then after 
fifteen to twenty minutes, Jeffrey arrives. This guy comes onboard: He was my age, late forties, and he 
had a kind of Ralph Lauren look to him, a good-looking Jewish guy in casual attire. Jeans, no socks, 
loafers, a button-down shirt, shirttails out. And he was followed onto the plane by—how shall I say 
this?—by three teenage girls not his daughters. Not adolescent girls. These are young, 18, 19, 20, who 
knows? They were model-like. They towered over Jeffrey. And they immediately began serving things. 
You didn't know what to make of this ... Who is this man with this very large airplane and these very 
tall girls?" 
Soon after, Wolff was invited to tea at the house on East 71st Street. He understood that there was a 
purpose to the cultivation. Epstein was shifting his view to media, in his Ober-way. "What does the 
media mean, where does he fit into it?" Then Epstein began to show up in the press. In 2002, he flew 
Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey to Africa on his plane to discuss aids policy, and suddenly he was being 
written about. In 2003, he became a discreet confidant to Wolff during the period when Wolff was 
involved in a bid for New York Magazine. Sometime after that, Wolff saw the financial architect in his 
office at 457 Madison Avenue, the Villard House, where Random House once had its offices. "His 
literal office is where Bennett Cerfs was. It's an incredibly strange place. It has no corporate affect at 
all. It's almost European. It's old—old-fashioned, =rehabbed in its way." Nearby, Wolff went on, "the 
trading floor is filled with guys in yarmulkes. Who they are, I have no idea. They're like a throwback, a 
bunch of guys from the fifties. So here is Jeffrey in this incredibly beautiful office, with pieces of art and 
a view of the courtyard, and he seems like the most relaxed guy in the world. You want to say 'What's 
going on here?' and he gives you that Cheshire smile." 
Epstein likes to say he's private, but you don't fly Bill Clinton to Africa without wanting attention. One 
friend says the Africa trip was Epstein's Icarus moment. There was tremendous risk that the natural 
forces of resentment would bring the too-smart, too-rich spirit back to earth. This is the friends' theory 
of the Palm Beach case: an overzealous police chief battened onto a rich man because he was not living 
in a box like everyone else. 
The dazzling arc of Epstein's comet came to an end—without his knowing it—in March 2005. That was 
when a distraught woman called the police in Palm Beach and, after at first refusing to give her name, 
said that she believed her 14-year-old stepdaughter had been molested by a wealthy man. The 
stepmother had learned about the matter in a roundabout way. The girl lived during the week at an 
"involuntary-admitted juvenile educational facility" because of behavior problems. She had shown up at 
the school with $300 in her purse, and it became the talk of her classmates. One friend called the girl a 
"whore," another friend put a fist through the wall in anger, the girl left school. The stepmother got a 
call from another student's mother. Soon, a policewoman was talking to the girl with a therapist present. 
The girl cried and dug her finger into her thigh and told the story, of going to a big house on the Atlantic 
Intracoastal Waterway, and climbing a spiral staircase to the master bedroom, where a blonde woman of 
25 who wasn't very friendly laid out sheets and lotions on a massage table and left, then Jeff came in, 
naked but for a towel, and sternly ordered the girl to take off her clothes. As she rubbed his chest, he 
touched himself, then applied a vibrator to her crotch.

The lengthy police narrative in the case doesn't make clear how police connected gray-haired Jeff with 
Jeffrey Epstein, but when the girl identified his picture in an instant in a photo lineup, police threw 
themselves into an investigation of the modem and palatial house on El Brillo Way. 
Palm Beach Island is a 3.75-square-mile spit of land famous for towering ficus privacy hedges on 
Mediterranean-influenced architecture that begins at over $5 million for a single-family home. But the 
police did their work miles across the water, in the sprawling, drab subdivisions of West Palm Beach, 
where, according to police reports, high-school girls had been recruited to visit Epstcin's house. The 14-
year-old was used to set up her 18-year-old go-between, 
had massaged him once 
and thereafter refused, but had agreed to procure girls, for $200 a head. "I'm like Heidi Fleiss," she said. 
The police net went wider, to malls and community colleges, and Olive Garden restaurants and trailer 
parks, and the story was always the same. Skinny. beautiful young girls were approached by other girls, 
who said they could make $200 by massaging a wealthy man, naked. Robson said Epstein had told her 
the younger the better—which she said meant 18 to 20. The rules were simple. Tell him you're 18. 
There might be some touching; you could draw the line. "The more you do, the more you are paid." A 
couple of the girls said they went all the way into the experience—one told police she visited 50 times, 
another hundreds of times, both having sex with Epstein and 
 a then-19-year-old 
beauty who Epstein told one of them was his "sex slave"; he'd purchascd her from her family back in 
Yugoslavia. 
Epstein's friends' belief that he was targeted for his big life reflects the fact that the police locked onto 
Epstein's sybaritic lifestyle. They made careful note of the girls' thong panties. the shape and color of

the sex toys Epstein favors, and the erotic art in his home, from photos to the mural of a woman to the 
statue of the man with a bow. Police repeatedly pulled his trash to dig out phone messages and kept an 
eye on his private planes. Once, they even reported on Wexner's plane, noting the procession of Cadillac 
Escalades that made its way across the tarmac. After word of the investigation got back to Epstein, 
through his girls, police served a search warrant at the house right under the noses of New York 
decorator Mark Zeff and architect Douglas Schoettle, who were there planning a renovation, and seized 
a dozen or so photographs of naked women the girls had described as well as the penis- and vagina-
shaped soaps. 
Those soaps were even in guest bathrooms. No wonder; Epstein didn't see his sex life as tawdry, wasn't 
hiding it from his circle. Wolff believes that Epstein had created an idealized world from "a deep and 
basic cultural moment" once epitomized by Hugh Hefner. "Jeffrey is living a life that once might have 
been prized and admired and valued, but its moment has passed ... I think the culture has outgrown it. 
You can't describe it without being held to severe account. It's not allowed. It may be allowed if you're 
secretive and furtive, but Jeffrey is anything but secretive and furtive. I think it represents an 
achievement to Jeffrey." 
Some girls who "worked" for Epstein—the term favored by the unfriendly assistant 
who 
allegedly kept the Rolodex—seem to have embraced that fantasy, too. One girl said she was "so in love 
with Jeff Epstein and would do anything for him." Two college girls/aspiring models were matter-of-
fact about what they'd done, and surveillance reports describe a fleet of girls jogging into the house. 
But generally the girls' feelings as portrayed by police interviews ranged from disgust to fear. Epstein 
was the hairy troll under the bridge they had to pass over to get quick money. One girl "stated she was 
very uncomfortable during the incident but knew it was almost over." Another kept looking at the clock, 
and Epstein said she was ruining his massage. Other girls said they were weirded out, grossed out. They 
didn't like his egg-shaped penis, definitely didn't want it inside them. Some couldn't say just what 
Epstein was doing because they kept their eyes averted. Two or three girls started crying when they 
talked to police, one hysterically. One wanted to tell the police but knew that he was "powerful" and was 
afraid he would come after her family. A 17-year-old model described an uncomfortable encounter in 
which Epstein offered to help her get jobs, then belittled her modeling portfolio before cajoling her to 
model the underwear he'd bought for her. A 16-year-old who needed money for Christmas said she was 
so upset by Epstein's removing her underwear as she massaged him that she broke off her friendship 
with the girl who brought her. Another called Epstein "a pervert." 
Epstein clearly did not see it that way. The girls knew what they were getting into and came willingly 
and were well paid. He was a sexy guy who was working to give the girls pleasure. The master bedroom 
was a sensual place, with a mural of a naked woman and a hot-pink couch, and a wooden armoire with 
sex toys. The lights dimmed, music came on. Still, it is a stretch to say Epstein's love shack was like 
Hugh Hefner's. Playboy was state-of-the-art pornography for the sixties. Today, cutting-edge porn is 
men with bankrolls picking up young amateurs, say, high-school cheerleaders or college girls on break, 
and daring them to go further and further for more cash, all the way to sex toys and lesbian sex. At 52, 
Epstein was outside the demographic of the makeout artists of The Bang Bros. Girls Gone Wild, and 
Coeds Need Cash, but he surely saw himself in that erotic milieu, and seems to have been shocked that 
his activities would result in a police investigation. 
His claim that he'd given a total of $100,000 to Ballet Florida for massage was absolutely true. "The 
massage and therapy fund is excruciatingly important to us. It's part of a dancer's life to have daily 
massages," says the ballet's marketing director, Debbie Wemyss, who notes that Epstein's generosities 
preceded his public troubles. Police were not impressed. They interviewed a licensed deep-tissue 
masseuse whom Epstein frequently employed. She said she got $100 an hour, and there were no happy

endings.

The 14-year-old told Epstein she was 18 and in the twelfth grade. In Florida, this is not a defense. The 
law protects the young by placing the burden on the adult to learn the truth. And while Epstein's girls 
might have fooled a lot of people—they were tall and grown-up—it's difficult to believe Epstein 
wouldn't have suspected some were underage. (Though Epstein later passed a lie-detector test saying 
that he believed the girls were 18.) Girls needed to be driven home or given rental cars. Offered 
whatever they wanted from Epstein's chef, they often gobbled cereal and milk. One 16-year-old told 
police that Epstein told her repeatedly not to tell anyone about their encounter or bad things could 
happen. Alfredo Rodriguez, a houseman, told police that at his boss's direction, he brought a pail of 
roses to a girl to congratulate her on her performance in a high-school drama. 
"He has never been secretive about the girls," Wolff says. "At one point, when his troubles began, he 
was talking to me and said, `What can I say, I like young girls.' I said, `Maybe you should say, 'I like 
young women.' " 
Epstein mounted an aggressive counterinvestigation. Epstein's friend Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard law 
professor, provided the police and the state attorney's office with a dossier on a couple of the victims 
gleaned from their MySpace sites—showing alcohol and drug use and lewd comments. The police 
complained that private investigators were harassing the family of the 14-year-old girl before she was to 
appear before the grand jury in spring 2006. The police said that one girl had called another to say, 
"Those who help [Epstein] will be compensated and those who hurt him will be dealt with." 
By then, the case was politicized. The Palm Beach police had brought stacks of evidence across the 
waterway to the Palm Beach County state attorney's office, but the state attorney apparently saw the 
main witnesses as weak. One had run away from home, lied about her age, and bragged about her ass on 
MySpace. Another had a drug arrest and had stolen from Victoria's Secret. The police wanted numerous 
felony charges against Epstein as well as charges against 
and 
Then they 
heard that the state attorney was preparing a deal with Epstein giving him five years on probation and 
sending him for psychiatric evaluation. The police chief, 
, accused the state attorney of 
bending over backward for a rich man and then turned the matter over to the FBI. 
Finally, in July 2006, the Palm Beach County state attorney's office handed down one indictment of 
Epstein on a felony count of soliciting prostitution. There is no reference to minors in the indictment. 
MO was enraged. He released a letter he had sent out to five underage girls that read "I do not feel that 
justice has been sufficiently served." 
Epstein's lawyer said that 
was out of control, but the police chief was having an effect. The U.S. 
Attorney's office began an investigation, and the dream team added another member, Kenneth Stan, the 
former Clinton prosecutor. 
One of Epstein's friends told me, "He thinks there's an anti-Semitic conspiracy against him in Palm 
Beach. He's convinced of that. Maybe it's a defense mechanism." Palm Beach was historically a bastion 
of Gentile privilege. Vanderbilt and Glendinning and Dillman and Warburton are still engraved on the 
public fountains, and the Everglades Club with its espaliered trees and brass plates reading private seems 
stuck in the time of the Gentlemen's Agreement. Yet the anti-Semitic charge disturbed Jews whom I 
asked about it in Palm Beach. Michael Resnick, rabbi at the oldest synagogue on the island, Temple 
Emanu-El (circa the sixties), says he strongly doubts that Epstein is a modem Dreyfus. "There's no way,

EFTA00261272

shape, or form that you can say that Palm Beach is a bastion with respect to religion. Individuals, yes. 
And there are some places that it is not an asset to be a Jew." Once Palm Beach tried to keep synagogues 
from opening. There are now four on the little island, including an Orthodox shul started by Slim-Fast 
founder Danny Abraham. Jose Lambiet, gossip columnist for the Palm Beach Post, says, "Half my 
sources on the island are Jewish socialites." 
Lambiet says the case has fed rage within the community over Palm Beach rules: The rich never have to 
do time. William Kennedy Smith in 1991, Rush Limbaugh, lately Ann Coulter for a voting infraction. 
Maybe it was inevitable that religion would come into the case. Peggy Siegal says Epstein's two big 
charitable causes are science and Israel. His Brooklyn homies Dershowitz and Rubenstein are also major 
Israel supporters. Dershowitz has written a book about lingering anti-Semitism in elite life. Now throw 
in the fact that the Palm Beach police asked at least three of the girls whether they had noticed whether 
Epstein was circumcised. "I asked ... if she knew what being circumcised meant," the officer stated in 
regard to the 14-year-old. 
Of course, that might be evidence. But other details in the police narrative seem to derive more from 
Edgar Allan Poe's psychological tragedies than from Philip Roth's sociological comedies. Epstein is 
licensed in Florida to carry a concealed weapon—he has a Glock—and a shower on the first floor was 
given over to a gun safe. One girl said his chest was so pumped up he appeared to be on steroids. He had 
a Harley next to the many black Mercedeses, but his Florida license was expired. Now he was licensed 
in the Virgin Islands and gave his "permanent residence" as the same address as Island Yachts. 
Notwithstanding the room on the first floor with floor-to-ceiling books, the general aura is cold and 
joyless and lonely, that of a man in his fifties den inr,h. 1.11,nself 
over completely to the 
sensual life, with the help ofM 
and 
Next: Epstein maintains he's done nothing wrong. 
The police narrative has overtones of a man avoiding all connection or intimacy. For years, Epstein had 
had a companion in a woman who could take him on if any woman could: Ghislaine Maxwell, the 
daughter of Robert Maxwell, the British newspaper baron, a Jew born in Czechoslovakia, who died 
mysteriously off his yacht in 1991. The British tabloids say that Epstein reminded Maxwell of her father 
and that she brought him into a Continental world. The Broadway and movie producer Jonathan Farkas 
says he and his wife used to double-date with the couple. Maxwell spent time at the Palm Beach house, 
and the police narrative says that she even hired an assistant-cum-masseuse for Epstein. But that was 
five years ago, and the girl was 23, at a local college. Maxwell never showed up in all the surveillance, 
only her stationery. 
Epstein's activities seem to have devolved in recent years. Juan Alessi, his longtime houseman, told 
police that toward the end of his employment, the girls were "younger and younger," and he often had to 
wash off vibrators and "a long rubber penis" left in the sink. The next houseman, Alfredo Rodriguez, 
said that he found the sex toys he had to wash "scattered on the floor." 
No need to worry about dirty laundry, if there's someone to do it. 
The U.S. attorney's investigation put Epstein in a bind. If the Feds brought a case and he lost, he would 
be imprisoned for a mandatory minimum ten-year sentence. Given the choice, it appears that Epstein 
will not gamble on a trial but make a deal with the state attorney on the prostitution charge.

For the city that never sleeps 
Not that he is likely to admit that he did anything wrong. Throughout his ordeal, Epstein maintained the 
air that there was nothing sordid about his actions. His wealth seems to have endowed him with utter 
shamelessness, the emperor's new clothes with an erection. Even Alan Greenspan has lately raised the 
moral questions brought on by the gap between the rich and poor: The poor will begin to feel that the 
social contract was not made in good faith. Epstein's friends say that on this matter, he has a 
philosophical position. 
"Fundamentally," Wolff says, "it's about math. That on a macro level it inevitably happens that the rich 
get richer. And then at seine level the rich get richer on a geometric basis. Jeffrey's point is that this 
whole issue is—it's just mathematics at this point. This is the nature of a successful economy. The more 
successful the economy is, and that would be the goal of everybody, a successful economy, the greater 
the discrepancy actually is." 
There is no better place to observe how Epstein's mathematics work than Palm Beach. The only signs of 
life are crews of Spanish-speaking laborers on teetering ladders clipping the high hedges, not far from 
Bulgari and Valentino and Tiffany. It is a few miles on the other side of the bridge to where the girls 
came from, the shabby sprawl of West Palm Beach, with trailer parks, boys crouched on motor scooters, 
and pickup trucks under sun tents. I 
house is on an unpaved mad by an irrigation ditch. 
An attractive blonde in her forties answers the door wearing pistachio Capri pants, and promptly slams 
it. "We have absolutely no comment about the Epstein case." 
Driving home with their $500, 
said to the 14-year-old that if they did this every Saturday they'd 
be rich. and it's understandable t at a teenager in West Palm Beach might feel that way. The coldest 
stories in the police narrative are about money and service. Maria Alessi. the previous houseman's wife, 
said she had cleaned house and shopped for Epstein for eight years and never had a direct conversation 
with him. He made it clear that he did "not want to encounter the Alessis during his stay in Palm 
Beach." One girl said that when she had sex with Epstein she closed her eyes and thought about cash. 
"In my mind, I'm like. 'Oh my God, when this is over you're getting so much money." 
Jose Lambiet says the case went forward in Palm Beach despite the efforts of the dream team because of 
community rage arising from the class issues in the ease-Epstein found the girls not from his own 
fancy neighborhood but from the struggling suburbs. 
He has never shown a glimmer of understanding that a high-school girl could be damaged by a powerful 
50-year-old's demands, or that some of the girls were already emotionally damaged. For someone who 
could dream anything, it seems a little small.
