Details: 
In October 2009, Miami Division opened an obstruction of 
justice case against 
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, 
was deposed by attorney 
who represented several of the victims. After his deposition, 
contacted 
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. 
advised he would not turn 
the information over to the attorney but instead wanted monetary 
compensation. In November 2009, 
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 
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.
