in New York City were used to house young models. 
Edwards, who has sued Epstein on behalf of several women claiming to be victims of sex abuse by 
Epstein, was told MC2 brought underage girls in from all over the world, promising them modeling 
contracts 
'Epstein and Brunel would then obtain a visa for these girls, then would charge the underage girls rent."

agency MC2. a company for which Epstein provides financial support," the documents say

filings

to return. But according to the court papers, Brunel was staying with Epstein in Palm Beach during that 
period 
The court filings describe Brunel as one of Epstein's closest pals. 
Regarding Maxwell, the documents refer to sworn testimony by Epstein's former house manager, Alfredo 
Rodriguez, explaining how Maxwell took photos of girls without the girls' knowledge, "kept the images on

England one day before a scheduled deposition in Edwards' case against Epstein. Despite that 
assertion. Maxwell was captured in a photo for OK magazine, attending the wedding of Chelsea Clinton

the friendship abruptly ended .. . 
"Epstein's personal phone directory from his computer contains e-mail addresses for Clinton along with 
21 phone numbers for him 
and what appears to be Clinton's personal numbers.' the court papers say. 
Allegations in the documents say Epstein threatened victims — including Edwards' client Jane Doe —
despite no-contact orders in effect

Behind Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's 
Sweetheart Deal 
by Conchita Sarnoff 
& Lee Aitken 
March 25 2011 l 7 17am 
Documents obtained by The Daily Beast reveal how pedophile hedge fund mogul Jeffrey Epstein 
escaped a hefty jail sentence despite overwhelming evidence of sex crimes with dozens of young 
girls. Conchita Sarnoff and Lee Aitken on how the fear and intimidation experienced by victims 
during pre-trial proceedings, combined with a ferocious, protracted campaign to undermine the 
prosecution, culminated in a set of charges that became a virtual slap on the wrist. 
It is proving difficult for hedge fund manager and registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to avoid the glare of media 
scrutiny - British tabloids most recently cried foul over the shabby royal comportment of Prince Andrew in agreeing to 
be the guest of an acknowledged pedophile. But the larger mystery surrounding Epstein, who completed a 13-month 
sentence for soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2010. has remained unsolved. How did the hedge fund mogul 
manage to finesse the kinds of sex-crime allegations typically associated with a hefty prison sentence'? 
For the first time, the U S attorney who oversaw the Epstein prosecution in Florida's Southern District is commenting 
publicly on the case, in a letter released exclusively to The Daily Beast. This letter, along with other correspondence 
unearthed in our reporting, sheds new light on the no-holds-barred battle waged by Epstein's lawyers to evade the full 
exercise of prosecutorial power 
Some of the most shocking allegations against Epstein surfaced only after the conclusion of an FBI probe, in civil suits 
brought by his victims: for example, the claim that three 12-year-old French girls were delivered to him as a birthday 
present. But the feds did identify roughly 40 young women. most of them underage at the time. who described being

lured to Epstein's Palm Beach home on the pretense of giving a "massage" for money, then pressured into various sex 
acts. as well as the "Balkan sex slave" Epstein allegedly boasted of purchasing from her family when she was just 14.
More recently, a big cash payment from Marl on Sunday coaxed one of Epstein's main accusers out of anonymity to 
describe what she claims were her years as a teenage sex toy. This victim, 
. produced a photo of 
herself with Prince Andrew in 2001 and reported that Epstein paid her 515.000 to meet the prince. Then 17 years old. 
she claims that she was abused by Epstein and "loaned" to his friends from the age of 15. 
serious state felony charges or else prepare 
Sex crimes of the kind 
alleges took place typically carry a term 
of 10 to 20 years in federal prison. Yet when all was said and done. 
Epstein served his scant year-plus-one-month in a private wing of the 
Palm Beach jail and was granted a 16-hour-per-day free pass to leave 
the premises for work. A Daily Beast examination into the inner 
workings of the Epstein defense strategy reveals how the fear and 
intimidation experienced by victims during pre-trial proceedings, 
combined with a ferocious, protracted campaign to undermine the 
prosecution - summed up as "the best defense is an all-star offense" -
culminated in a set of charges that became a virtual slap on the wrist for 
the globe-trotting financier.
Fear and intimidation experienced by victims 
during pre-trial proceedings, combined with a 
ferocious, protracted campaign to undermine the 
prosecution, culminated in a set of charges that 
became a virtual slap on the wrist. 
-Over the past weeks. I have read much regarding Mr. Jeffrey Epstein," 
are words opening an extraordinary letter written by R Alexander 
Acosta. who served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida 
during Epstein's criminal investigation. Mr. Acosta goes on to detail how. 
in 2005, a young girl first brought sex-crime allegations to the Palm 
Beach Police Department, which sought felony charges against Epstein. 
Subsequently, however, the State Attorney agreed to charge him only 
with one count of aggravated assault with no intent to commit a felony,' 
Acosta writes. He notes that such a charge would have resulted in no 
jail time, no registration as a sexual offender, and no responsibility for 
restitution to Epstein's underage victims 
Frustrated by the State Attorney's decision, the police referred the case 
to the FBI, which handed it to the U.S. Attorney General's office. After 
reviewing the charges, federal prosecutors *agreed that the state charge 
was insufficient.' Acosta writes. In a script that could have been lifted 
from Law and Order, his team gave Epstein two choices "plead to more 
for a federal felony trial 
The next passage is where things really get interesting "What followed was 
a year-long assault on the prosecution and the prosecutors." Epstein had assembled a world-class legal team, 
including Alan Dershowitz, Kenneth Starr. and Roy Black (best known for having defended William Kennedy Smith 
against rape charges in Palm Beach ) 'One member of the defense team warned me that the office's excess zeal in 
forcing a good man to serve time in jail might be the subject of a book if we continued,- Acosta writes. In his view, 
excessive zeal more aptly described the actions in Epstein's camp -Defense counsel investigated individual 
prosecutors and their families." seeking to unearth personal issues that might lead to disqualification of members of 
Acosta's team. The defense also "often failed to negotiate in good faith. They would obtain concessions as part of a

negotiation and agree to proceed, only to change their minds and appeal 
the office's position to Washington.' 
Undeterred, Acosta stuck to his position that Epstein must agree to the three 
criteria he had laid out: jail time. registration as a sex offender, and 
restitution to victims. 
Acosta's account is supported by a second document obtained by The Daily 
Beast - a five-page letter written by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ann Mane 
Villafana to another of Epstein's lawyers. Jay Lefkowitz. during the period 
when both sides were hammering out the eventual plea agreement "The 
indictment was postponed for more than five months to allow you and Mr. 
Epstein's other attorneys to make presentations to the office to convince the 
office not to prosecute.' Villafana writes, conjuring the degree of pushback 
apparently central to the team's strategy 'Those presentations were 
unsuccessful.- Villafana also mentions her efforts to insure that Epstein 
would serve time in a federal -prison camp- and not a state prison, which 
would be a far rougher environment. particularly for a child molester 
Villafana marshals these facts in the process of strenuously disputing apparent charges of misconduct by the defense: 
"I continued to work with you in a professional manner even after I learned that you had been proceeding in bad faith 
for several weeks - thinking that . . . you would 'fool' our office into letting Mr. Epstein plead to a non-registerable 
offense " 
At another point in her letter, Villafana refers to an apparent allegation of self-dealing in the selection of an outside 
attorney who would represent the 40-odd victims identified in the FBI probe. In a somewhat unusual arrangement, 
Epstein agreed not to contest his liability in any civil suits brought by these victims — and in fact to pay for lawyers to 
represent them. In her letter. Villafana denies any personal interest in the choice of attorney and goes on to say. 'your 
attacks on me and on the victims establish why I wanted to find someone whom I could trust with safeguarding the 
victims' best interests in the face of intense pressure from an unlimited number of highly skilled and well paid 
attorneys.' 
Responding to a request for comment on Acosta's account of events. Roy Black wrote The Daily Beast on Thursday 
that, 1 can't reply to a letter I haven't received. . . I can't give a reasoned response without examining the files and being 
able to refresh my recollection of events that occurred years ago.- Black went on. 1 do not believe any of the things 
you mention occurred except for the fact we did exercise our right to appeal to the Department of Justice to determine 
if a federal crime had been committed.' (Other Epstein attorneys contacted by The Daily Beast did not respond. The 
U.S Attorney's office for the Southern District of Florida had no comment.) 
Why did Acosta decide to voice his opinions now9 In part. he clearly is reacting to ongoing criticism that Epstein's puny 
punishment did not fit his crimes Some may feel that the prosecution should have been tougher.' Acosta writes 
'Evidence that has come to light since 2007 may encourage that view. Many victims have since spoken out...physical 
evidence has since been discovered." 
Acosta may also have chosen to come forward now because, on Monday. attorneys for a number of those victims filed 
suit under the Victims Crimes Rights Act to challenge the -non-prosecution agreement" that ultimately resulted from all 
the wrangling. claiming that they were not consulted. The U.S. Attorney's office, now led by Wifredo A. Ferrer, has 
indicated it will file a response to the suit on April 7 
In his letter. Acosta also takes issue with the way Epstein's sentence was carried out "Although the terms of 
confinement in a state prison are a matter appropriately left to the State of Florida...without doubt. the treatment that 
he received while in state custody undermined the purpose of a jail sentence " Indeed. Epstein's brief confinement 
likely reinforced a perception that he had merely succumbed to a nuisance suit. Such a gross misapprehension would 
help account for the apparent ease with which Epstein has rejoined the ranks of a social elite. Katie Couric. Woody

Allen, and George Stephanopoulos, among others. attended a dinner party he hosted for Prince Andrew in December, 
and New York authorities seem to be either unaware or unconcerned that his Upper East Side home is within 1.000 
feet of an Episcopal pre-school, in violation of sex-offender laws. 
Yet a source tells The Daily Beast that Epstein's legal troubles may not be over. It is possible that, as an outgrowth of 
the 2007 Florida investigation. federal investigators are now looking into allegations of money laundering and other 
financial misdeeds Villafana notes at the end of her letter to Lefkowitz. "You accuse me of broadening the scope of the 
investigation without any foundation for doing so by adding charges of money laundering and violations of a money 
transmitting business to the investigation. Again. I consulted with the Justice Department's Money Laundering Section 
about my analysis the duty officer agreed with my analysis."
