photographs include MAXWELL clothed with other clothed females who appear to be 
approximately between the ages of 16 and 22. 
29. 
Among the photographs on the Seized Discs, the Reviewing Agents identified 
partially-nude photographs of a young girl, labeled with an associated name that matched a 
particular individual ("Individual-1"). After identifying those photographs, the Government was 
advised by Individual-1's counsel that Individual-1 recalls the month and year during which she 
believes those partially-nude photographs were taken, and also the location where they were taken, 
and that she was 17 years old at the time. 
30. 
Following the initiation of the FBI's review of the Seized Discs, on or about July 
II, 2019, the Honorable Henry B. Pitman, United States Magistrate Judge, signed another search 
warrant authorizing another search of the New York Residence and specifically authorizing the 
seizure and search of electronic devices and storage media inside the New York Residence for 
evidence of the Original Subject Offenses (the "Fourth Search Warrant"). The Fourth Search 
Warrant is attached as Exhibit F and incorporated by reference herein. 
31. 
Later on July 11, 2019, the Search Team executed the Fourth Search Warrant at the 
New York Residence. Based on my conversations with members of the Search Team, I have 
learned the following, among other things, regarding the execution of the Fourth Search Warrant: 
a. 
During the July 11, 2019 execution of the Fourth Search Warrant inside the 
New York Residence, the Search Team found that the Safe described above was empty and, in 
particular, that the collection of discs and hard drives described in paragraphs 24(c)-(f), above, that 
the Search Team had not seized during its prior search of the New York Residence on July 7, 2019, 
had been removed.

b. 
After discovering that the Safe was empty, the Search Team spoke with an 
employee who worked at the New York Residence (the "Employee"). During that conversation, 
the Employee told the Search Team that after the completion of the prior search on July 7, 2019, 
the Employee had been instructed by a third party ("the Third Party") to take the contents of the 
Safe out of the New York Residence and deliver those items to the Third Party. The Employee 
further told the Search Team that after receiving that instruction, the Employee packed the contents 
of the Safe into two suitcases and delivered those suitcases to the Third Party. The Employee 
provided the Search Team with the Third Party's contact information. 
c. 
The Search Team then contacted the Third Party. During the ensuing 
conversation, the Third Party confirmed receipt of two suitcases from the Employee but also told 
the Search Team that the Third Party had not opened the suitcases or touched or tampered with 
their contents. The Third Party also agreed to deliver the two suitcases to the Search Team. 
d. 
Later on July 11, 2019, and consistent with the conversation described 
above, the Third Party met the Search Team outside of the New York Residence and provided 
them with the two suitcases described above, one of which was blue and one of which was black. 
Consistent with standard law enforcement protocol, the Search Team conducted an inventory of 
both suitcases before taking custody of them. While taking an inventory of the blue suitcase, the 
Search Team discovered, among other items, Subject Device-3. These items, including Subject 
Item-3, appeared to be the same items observed in the Safe by the Search Team during the July 7, 
2019 search of the New York Residence. 
32. 
On or about July 14, 2019, the Honorable Kevin Nathaniel Fox, United States 
Magistrate Judge, signed a search warrant authorizing the search of Subject Device-1, Subject 
Device-2, and Subject Device-3 for evidence of the Original Subject Offenses (the "Fifth Search 
22 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00091475
Page 23 / 102
Warrant"). The Fifth Search Warrant is attached as Exhibit G and incorporated by reference 
herein. 
33. 
Based on my personal participation in the searches of the New York Residence, as 
well as my conversations with other law enforcement agents who participated in those same 
searches, and my review of documents prepared by other law enforcement agents who participated 
in those same searches, I have learned that during the July 11, 2019 search of the New York 
Residence: 
a. Subject Device-4 was recovered from in a cardboard box along the right wall of a 
room on the first floor of the New York Residence, and has been assigned internal 
FBI barcode number E6515034.

Search of the Virgin Islands Residence 
34. 
Based on my review of property records, I believe that JEFFREY EPSTEIN has 
been the owner of the Virgin Islands Residence since at least in or about 1998. In particular, it 
appears that an entity named "L.S.J., LLC" held title to the Virgin Islands Residence from in or 
about 1998. In or about 2011, L.S.J., LLC transferred title to the Virgin Islands Residence to an 
entity named "Nautilus, Inc.," for $10. On the transfer paperwork, EPSTEIN signed as the "sole 
member" of L.S.J., LLC and as the "president and sole beneficial owner" of Nautilus, Inc. 
27 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00091480
Page 28 / 102
35. 
In addition, I believe that up until his arrest, the Virgin Islands Residence was 
JEFFREY EPSTEIN's principal residence. In particular, I have reviewed sex offender registration 
data, and have learned that, on or about June 17, 2019, EPSTEIN listed the Virgin Islands 
Residence as his primary residence. At the time of EPSTEIN's arrest on or about July 6, 2019, I 
and other law enforcement officers conducted an inventory search of EPSTEIN's personal effects, 
and observed that EPSTEIN was carrying a driver's license that listed the Virgin Islands Residence 
as EPSTEIN's home address. 
36. 
Based on my participation in this investigation, I have reason to believe that 
EPSTEIN and his co-conspirators committed and/or maintained evidence of the Original and 
Additional Subject Offences in and around the Virgin Islands Residence. Some of the evidence 
of that conduct was recovered from the New York Residence. In particular, as described above, 
compact discs seized from the New York Residence contain approximately thousands of nude or 
partially nude photographs of girls or young women, many of which are in sexually suggestive 
poses. Certain of these images appear to have been taken at a tropical location, and/or were labeled 
"LSJ" either in the image file name, or on the compact disc that contained the image. Based on 
the foregoing, I believe that a portion of the foregoing photographs appear to have been taken at 
the Virgin Islands Residence. In addition, I have learned that some of the file names are marked 
"U" which are the initials of 
a Target Subject of the ongoing investigation. 
As set forth below, I and other law enforcement agents have interviewed Individual-I,4 who has 
In or about November 2019, Individual-1 filed a civil lawsuit against EPSTEIN's estate seeking 
damages for the conduct described in this affidavit. Information provided by Individual-1 has been 
corroborated by independent evidence, including other witness statements and travel records, and 
has proven reliable.

reported that 
photographed her at the Virgin Islands Residence. Accordingly, 
I believe that a portion of these photos may have been taken by 
37. 
Further, based on my conversations with law enforcement agents who have 
conducted an initial review of the Seized Discs, I have learned the following: 
a. Many of the photographs appear to be labeled with file names that include "LSJ," 
which I believe stands for Little St. James, which is the name of the Virgin Islands Residence. 
b. As discussed above, photographs seized from the New York Residence appear to 
depict nude or partially nude young girls, and a portion of those photos appear to have been taken 
at the Virgin Islands Residence, based on the fact that (i) some of the photos appear to have been 
taken in a tropical location, and (ii) some of the file names of the photographs and/or the labels 
on the discs containing the files of nude or partially nude young girls in a tropical location are 
marked "LSJ," i.e., the Virgin Islands Residence. 
c. Among the photographs seized from the New York Residence, the Reviewing 
Agents identified partially-nude photographs of a young girl, labeled with the name of Individual-
1. The photographs appear to depict Individual-1 on a beach in what appears to be a tropical 
location similar to the landscape of the Virgin Islands Residence. 
38. 
In or about August 2019, I participated in an interview of Individual-1, with her 
counsel present. Based on my personal observations, I believe that the photographs described in 
Paragraph 29 depict Individual-1. I have also spoken with another law enforcement agent who 
interviewed Individual-1 on a separate occasion in or about July 2019, with her counsel present. 
During the course of these interviews, Individual-1 stated, in sum an substance that she met 
EPSTEIN in 2003 when she was approximately 17, and that she travelled to several of EPSTEIN's 
properties, including properties in New Mexico, Florida, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, i.e., the 
29 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00091482
Page 30 / 102
Virgin Islands Residence, before she turned 18. EPSTEIN paid for the trips, and would give 
Individual-1 money and gifts while she traveled with him. During these trips, EPSTEIN sexually 
abused and assaulted Individual-1 on approximately four different occasions, all of which occurred 
before she turned 18. Individual-1 reported that EPSTEIN raped her during two of these incidents. 
Indivdual-1 recalled that one or more of these instances of sexual abuse occurred on the Virgin 
Islands Residence. Individual-1 further reported that, when she was approximately 17, 
asked to photograph her, and did in fact photograph Individual-1 at the Virgin Islands 
Residence. 
39. 
In or about August 2019, I and another law enforcement officer interviewed an 
individual ("Individual-21 who regularly performed work for JEFFREY EPSTEIN as a contractor 
at the Virgin Islands Residence from approximately 1999 to 2005 or 2006. Individual-2 reported 
that, on several occasions, Individual-2 observed photographs of what appeared to be nude or 
partially nude young girls in several locations throughout the main residence of the Virgin Islands 
Residence. Individual-2 recalled a photograph depicting 
and two girls, all three 
of whom were topless; Individual-2 estimated that the two girls in the photograph appeared to be 
approximately 15 or 16 years old. Individual-2 knew 
to be EPSTEIN's assistant at that 
time. 
40. 
Based on my review of flight logs from a private jet owned by JEFFREY EPSTEIN, 
I have learned that 
traveled to the U.S. Virgin Islands at least approximately 
once a month between October 2001 and November of 2005. These records do not include any 
travel 
may have taken on commercial airlines. 
30 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00091483
Page 31 / 102
41. 
In or about October 2019, I and another law enforcement officer interviewed 
another individual ("Individual-3")5 who travelled at JEFFREY EPSTEIN's invitation to the 
Virgin Islands Residence on multiple occasions in or about 2006 and 2007 when Individual-3 was 
approximately 21 years old. Individual-3 reported that EPSTEIN sexually assaulted Individual-3 
on multiple occasions at the Virgin Islands Residence. Individual-3 also reported that during at 
least some of her visits to the Virgin Islands Residence, GHISLAINE MAXWELL was present at 
the Virgin Islands Residence. On multiple occasions at the Virgin Islands residence, MAXWELL 
instructed Individual-3 and other young women to engage in sex acts with EPSTEIN. Among 
other things, MAXWELL provided Individual-3 and other young women with specific instructions 
regarding how to perform oral sex on EPSTEIN. MAXWELL told Individual-3 that Individual-3 
was only at the Virgin Islands Residence to sexually please EPSTEIN. Individual-3 further 
reported that some of the sex acts she engaged in with EPSTEIN involved other females who 
appeared young and may have been under the age of 18, but whose age Individual-3 did not know. 
42. 
Based on my review of flight logs from a private jet owned by JEFFREY EPSTEIN 
for the years 1998 through 2006, I have learned that GHISLAINE MAXWELL travelled to the 
U.S. Virgin Islands at least approximately four times in 1998, eleven times in 1999, five times in 
2000, eight times in 2001, seven times in 2002, five times in 2003, two times in 2004, one time in 
2005, and one time in 2006. These records do not include any travel MAXWELL may have taken 
on commercial airlines. 
5 In or about August 2020, Individual-3 filed a civil lawsuit against EPSTEIN's estate seeking 
damages for the conduct described in this affidavit. Information provided by Individual-3 has been 
corroborated by independent evidence, including other witness statements and travel records, and 
has proven reliable. 
31 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00091484
Page 32 / 102
43. 
For all of these reasons, I am aware that 
and GHISLAINE 
MAXWELL have both spent significant time at the Virgin Islands Residence, among JEFFREY 
EPSTEIN's various other properties, and that evidence of their involvement, and potentially the 
involvement of other co-conspirators, in the Subject Offenses may be located at the Virgin Islands 
Residence. In particular, flight logs from EPSTEIN's private jet reflect that the individual 
identified in the Indictment as "Employee-3" traveled to the U.S. Virgin Islands on approximately 
nine separate occasions. These records do not include any travel Employee-3 may have taken on 
commercial airlines. As set forth in the Indictment, Employee-3 scheduled victims' encounters 
with EPSTEIN. 
44. 
On or about August 11, 2019, United States Magistrate Judge Ruth Miller of the 
District of the Virgin Islands signed a warrant authorizing the search of the Virgin Islands 
Residence for fruits, evidence and instrumentalities of the Original Subject Offenses (the "Sixth 
Search Warrant"). The Sixth Search Warrant is attached as Exhibit H, and incorporated by 
reference herein. The next day, other law enforcement agents and I executed the Virgin Islands 
Warrant at the Virgin Islands Residence. 
45. 
Based on my personal participation in the August 12, 2019 search of the Virgin 
Islands Residence, as well as my conversations with other law enforcement agents who 
participated in that same search, and my review of documents prepared by other law enforcement 
agents who participated in that same search, I have learned that during the August 12, 2019 search 
of the Virgin Islands Residence: 
a. Subject Device-36 was recovered from a desk in the main residence on the island. 
b. Subject Device-37 was recovered from a desk in the main residence on the island. 
c. Subject Device-38 was recovered from a desk in the main residence on the island.

z. Subject Device-61 was found on a server rack in a shed on the island. 
aa. Subject Device-62 was recovered on a file cabinet next to a desk in a cabana on the

46. 
On or about September 12, 2019, the Honorable James L. Cott, United States 
Magistrate Judge, signed a warrant authorizing the search of Subject Device-37 through Subject 
Device-63 for fruits, evidence, and instrumentalities of the Original Subject Offenses 
(the "Seventh Search Warrant"). The Seventh Search Warrant is attached as Exhibit I, 
and incorporated by reference herein. 
The Initial Search of the Subject Devices 
47. 
I know from my personal involvement in this investigation, as well as my 
conversations with other law enforcement agents, that pursuant to the Fourth Search Warrant, the 
Fifth Search Warrant, and the Seventh Search Warrant—which, collectively, authorized the search 
of all of the Subject Devices for evidence of the Original Subject Offenses—the FBI has 
undertaken a multi-step process to review all of the data from all of the Subject Devices. First, the 
FBI extracted data from all of the Subject Devices. This process involved multiple months of work 
by technical specialists at the FBI to access the data on the devices and convert the data into a 
reviewable format. Second, at the request of attorneys for JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the United States 
Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has conducted a privilege review of the 
extracted data as it has been received from the FBI. Third, as data has been cleared through the 
privilege review, it has then been reviewed by the case team. That review has involved both the 
examination of individual documents and the application of search terms for particular keywords 
through the data. 
34 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00091487
Page 35 / 102
48. 
I know from my personal involvement in this investigation, as well as my 
conversations with other law enforcement agents, that during the third stage of the above-described 
search process, the case team identified within the data extracted from the Subject Devices 
electronic communications that involve GHISLAINE MAXWELL as either a sender or recipient, 
but which do not include JEFFREY EPSTEIN as a sender or recipient. For example, I have 
reviewed the following communications contained in the data extracted from the Subject Devices: 
a. In an email sent to MAXWELL on or about February 7, 2004, an individual 
("Individual-4") asked for details regarding the payments MAXWELL would provide to 
Individual-4 in exchange for Individual-4 identifying "beautiful, talented young women ... to train 
/ work with" EPSTEIN. Individual-4 further noted, "i have a couple of girls in mind, so let me 
know what arrangement we will have, and i will do my best to help." Based on my training, 
experience, and participation in this investigation, I believe that in this email Individual-4 was 
discussing with MAXWELL the recruitment of young females to engage in sex acts with 
EPSTEIN. 
b. In an email sent to MAXWELL on or about August 16, 2002, an individual 
("Individual-5") asked MAXWELL, "Have you found me some new inappropriate friends?" 
Based on my training, experience, and participation in this investigation, I believe that in this email 
Individual-5 was asking whether MAXWELL had found any young females to engage in sex acts 
with Individual-5. 
c. In an email sent to MAXWELL on or about February 28, 2002, Individual-5 
discussed an upcoming trip that MAXWELL was helping to arrange for Individual-5. In that same 
email, Individual-5 wrote, "As for girls well I leave that entirely to you and [another individual]!" 
Based on my training, experience, and participation in this investigation, I believe that in this email 
35 
2017.08.02 
EFTA00091488
Page 36 / 102
Individual-5 was discussing MAXWELL's attempts to arrange for young females to engage in sex 
acts with Individual-5. 
d. In an email that MAXWELL sent to Individual-5 on March 3, 2002, MAXWELL 
informed Individual-5 that she was trying to arrange, "some 2 legged sight seeing (read intelligent 
pretty fun and from good families)" for Individual-5 on an upcoming trip. Based on my training, 
experience, and participation in this investigation, I believe that in this email MAXWELL was 
discussing her attempts to arrange for young females to engage in sex acts with Individual-5. 
49. 
I further know from my personal involvement in this investigation, as well as my 
conversations with other law enforcement agents, that the ongoing investigation into JEFFREY 
EPSTEIN and his associates has revealed that on multiple occasions, and as recently as August 8, 
2019, EPSTEIN changed his will to adjust bequests to his co-conspirators, including 
and GHISLAINE MAXWELL. Specifically, in February 2019, EPSTEIN's will 
bequeathed a $10,000,000 annuity to 
and forgave any loans EPSTEIN had made to 
. EPSTEIN's February 2019 will did not mention MAXWELL. On August 8, 2019, 
EPSTEIN amended his February 2019 will to, among other things, change the bequests to 
and MAXWELL. In particular, the August 2019 will bequeathed $10,000,000 to 
MAXWELL and forgave any loans EPSTEIN had made to 
bequest to 
50. 
I further know from my personal involvement in this investigation that as the FBI's 
investigation continued, the case team uncovered new evidence regarding GHISLAINE 
MAXWELL's participation in the Additional Subject Offenses, some of which is detailed above. 
51. 
In light of the MAXWELL communications observed in the data extracted from 
the Subject Devices, as well as the new evidence of MAXWELL's participation in the Subject

Offenses obtained since EPSTEIN's death, I now seek, out of an abundance of caution, the 
requested warrant to broaden the scope of the search of the Subject Devices. In particular, and out 
of an abundance of caution, this application seeks to expand the scope of the search of the Subject 
Devices to include the Additional Subject Offenses, to specifically permit the search for documents 
relating to MAXWELL, and to permit a search of documents dated between the earliest known 
abuse of a minor victim in 1994 through Epstein's most recent revision of his will on August 8, 
2019. 
B. Probable Cause Justifying Further Search of the Subject Devices for Evidence 
of the Additional Subject Offenses 
52. 
Based on my training, experience, and participation in this investigation, I believe 
that there is probable cause that evidence of the Additional Subject Offenses, such as photographs 
of EPSTEIN's victims and co-conspirators and communications involving EPSTEIN's co-
conspirators, including GHISLAINE MAXWELL and 
will be found on the 
Subject Devices. In particular, information provided by Individual-1, who traveled across state 
lines at EPSTEIN's invitation and with whom EPSTEIN engaged in sex acts at the Virgin Islands 
Residence while Individual-1 was a minor, confirms that EPSTEIN engaged in conduct relevant 
to the Additional Subject Offenses at the Virgin Islands Residence. Similarly, information 
provided by Minor Victim-1, who similarly traveled across state lines at EPSTEIN's invitation 
with whom EPSTEIN engaged in sex acts at the New York Residence, as well as information 
provided by the other victims identified in the Indictment, confirms that EPSTEIN engaged in 
conduct relevant to the Additional Subject Offenses at the New York Residence. In addition, 
photographs on the Seized Discs recovered during the search of the New York Residence depict 
other young and partially nude girls photographed at multiple locations, including the Virgin 
Islands Residence, which suggests that EPSTEIN brought some girls to the Virgin Islands

Residence and that, consistent with the account provided by Individual-1 and other victims 
identified in the Indictment, EPSTEIN likely sexually abused them at the Virgin Islands Residence 
and maintained evidence of that abuse there on the Subject Devices, all of which would be relevant 
to the Additional Subject Offenses. Moreover, evidence of co-conspirators' presence at the New 
York Residence and/or the Virgin Islands Residence at times when victims were abused, including 
photographs, may also be found on the Subject Devices. Similarly, there is probable cause to 
believe that evidence of victims' and/or co-conspirators' travel arrangements, contact information, 
and communications, including those of 
Devices. 
53. 
Moreover, though the sexual abuse described in the Indictment occurred principally 
between approximately 2002 and 2005, and although the abuse described by Minor Victim-1 
occurred principally between 1994 and 1997, as evidence recovered from the New York Residence 
including the Seized Discs makes clear, EPSTEIN continued to maintain substantial evidence of 
the Original and Additional Subject Offenses up until the time he was arrested in 2019. Indeed, 
as described above, in addition to the Seized Discs, EPSTEIN continued to maintain a "massage 
room" complete with a massage table and various sex toys. Accordingly, there is probable cause 
to believe that the Subject Devices, which were seized from a residence where EPSTEIN and his 
co-conspirators committed the Additional Subject Offenses, will similarly contain evidence of the 
Additional Subject Offenses. 
54. 
In addition, I believe that evidence of the Additional Subject Offenses may be 
located on the Subject Devices because (i) the Virgin Islands Residence was the location of 
multiple photo shoots of young girls; (ii) the Virgin Islands Residence appears to have been, for 
the last several years and up until the time of his arrest, EPSTEIN's primary residence; and (iii) 
38 
and MAXWELL, will be located on the Subject

given its location, the Virgin Islands Residence is JEFFREY EPSTEIN's most private residence. 
Therefore, given that EPSTEIN has maintained evidence of the Original and Additional Subject 
Offenses in the New York Residence, he is likely to have similarly maintained some of that 
evidence in the Subject Devices maintained at the Virgin Islands Residence. Moreover, given that 
there is probable cause to believe that JEFFREY EPSTEIN and others, including 
and GHISLAINE MAXWELL, conspired to commit the Original and Additional 
Subject Offenses, evidence of EPSTEIN's involvement in trafficking, enticing, and transporting 
minors would also be relevant to the investigation of, and any future charges against, other 
members of the conspiracy, such as 
and MAXWELL. 
55. 
According to international flight records that I have reviewed, a private jet owned 
and utilized by EPSTEIN has traveled to or from the U.S. Virgin Islands at least on or about April 
14, 2019; May 5, 2019; May 18, 2019; and June 11, 2019. Accordingly, there is probable cause 
to believe that EPSTEIN was present at the Virgin Islands Residence a short time before the 
recovery of the Subject Devices. 
56. 
Based on my training and experience in investigating individuals who engage in 
sex trafficking, enticement, and transportation of minors, such individuals often maintain 
photographs of their victims, and/or other erotic images of minors, at their residences. Individuals 
who engage in such offenses often hoard such images in the privacy of their residences. In 
particular, data related to their illegal activity is often stored on their computers. 
57. 
In my training and experience, individuals who store nude and/or sexually 
suggestive photographs of minors on compact discs or other external storage devices typically 
access those images from computers and other electronic devices in order to view those images, 
39

and individuals who store such materials on compact discs typically store similar files on other 
computing devices and storage devices. 
58. 
Like individuals engaged in any other kind of activity, individuals who engage in 
sex trafficking, enticement, and transportation of minors store records relating to their illegal 
activity and to persons involved with them in that activity on electronic devices such as the Subject 
Device. 
Such records can include, for example, logs of online communications with co-
conspirators; email correspondence; contact information of co-conspirators, including telephone 
numbers, email addresses, and identifiers for instant messaging and social medial accounts; travel 
records for victims and/or co-conspirators; payment records for victims and/or co-conspirators; 
and/or photographs of victims and/or co-conspirators. Individuals engaged in criminal activity 
often store such records in order to, among other things, (1 ) keep track of co-conspirator's contact 
information; (2) keep a record of illegal transactions for future reference; (3) remain in contact 
with co-conspirators and victims; (4) enable payment of co-conspirators and victims; and (4) store 
exploitative photographs for future sexual gratification. 
59. 
Computer files or remnants of such files can be recovered months or even years 
after they have been created or saved on an electronic device such as the Subject Devices. Even 
when such files have been deleted, they can often be recovered, depending on how the hard drive 
has subsequently been used, months or years later with forensics tools. Thus, the ability to retrieve 
from information from the Subject Devices depends less on when the information was first created 
or saved than on a particular user's device configuration, storage capacity, and computer habits. 
60. 
Based on the foregoing, I respectfully submit there is probable cause to believe that 
evidence of the Target Subjects' commission of the Additional Subject Offenses is likely to be 
found on the Subject Devices.
