(Pending) Title: ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ; OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE Synopsis: 
EC requesting New York Division to conduct interview of ROBERT 
COUTURIER Details: In October 2009, Miami Division opened an 
obstruction of justice case against ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ. RODRIGUEZ was 
the previous house manager and butler to Palm Beach County resident 
JEFFREY EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN was the subject of child prostitution, 31E 
matter, worked by Miami Division beginning in 2006. Investigation of 
EPSTEIN revealed that he brought underage girls to his home to perform 
massages and paid them to engage in sex acts with himself and one 
another. The U.S. Attorney's Office entered into a non-prosecution 
agreement with EPSTEIN where EPSTEIN pled guilty tO state offenses in 
Florida state court. EPSTEIN was sentenced to a period of state prison 
followed by community supervision as a registered sex offender. 
EPSTEIN completed his community supervision in July 2010. EPSTEIN's 
victims filed suit against EPSTEIN in state and federal court seeking 
damages in civil litigation. During the discovery process, RODRIGUEZ 
was deposed by attorney BRADLEY EDWARDS who represented several of the 
victims. After his deposition, RODRIGUEZ contacted EDWARDS and advised 
that he had lists of additional victims that he had not previously 
disclosed to law enforcement during the criminal investigation or 
after being served with a subpoena in the civil case. RODRIGUEZ 
advised he would not turn the information over to the attorney but 
instead wanted monetary compensation. In November 2009, RODRIGUEZ 
attempted to sell the information to a UCE for $50,000.00, which 
resulted in the above captioned case. Approximately three weeks ago, 
information was provided to Miami Division, PBCRA, that ROBERT 
COUTURIER, an interior designer and architect based in New York, was 
hired by EPSTEIN for remodeling and design services at EPSTEIN's

residence located in the Virgin Islands. COUTURIER reportedly designed 
a bedroom in EPSTEIN's island residence with decor and furniture 
appropriate for teenage girls, with pink furnishings and bunk beds. In 
addition, COUTURIER reported seeing EPSTEIN in the company of what 
appeared to be an underage girl. It is unclear whether the underage 
girl with EPSTEIN was observed at the Virgin Island residence or at 
EPSTEIN's Palm Beach County home. EPSTEIN and COUTURIER may be 
currently involved in civil litigation against one another for 
services COUTURIER provided. It is requested that New York Division 
interview COUTURIER regarding work and services he performed for 
EPSTEIN and COUTURIER's observation of potential underage girls in 
EPSTEIN's company. Descriptive Data: Main Subject Name - Last:
