Jeffrey Epstein 
Dear Ms. 
and Mr. 
 
ONE 
FACSIMILE 
The following outlines the talking points we intend to cover in today's meeting. 
The events at issue occurred in 2004 and 2005. The matter was investigated during the 
course of nearly a year beginning in March 2005 by the Palm Beach County Police Department 
(PBPD). 
As will be discussed in detail below, it appears that a PBPD detective formed a view 
early on as to the criminality of the conduct of Jeffrey Epstein (Epstein). That view tainted both 
the determination of what to include in the Police Report' and led the PBPD to ignore evidence 
that did not support the initial conclusion of the investigating officers, including ignoring 
material evidence supplied to the State Attorney by defense counsel. 
We understand that the PBPD has sought your intervention in this matter; we also believe 
that the misleading and inaccurate reports of the PBPD may well have affected how you view the 
A copy of the unredacted Police Report, to which we make reference throughout the letter, is provided at 
Tab I. Note, pages 81 - 87 are taken from the redacted Police Report because we do not have an 
unredacted copy of these pages. Other documents cited herein, all of which were provided to you 
previously, are annexed in successive Tabs.

matter and whether you believe it warrants federal intervention. We respectfully submit that 
there is no basis for the exercise of federal jurisdiction here. The conduct at issue is entirely 
local and subject to State prosecution under the State's standards and policies. And indeed, as 
you know, Epstein has been indicted for felony charges relating to this matter. That indictment is 
still pending. 
Moreover, key elements that are necessary to support the invocation of federal 
jurisdiction in this area are wholly lacking. As we detail below, the evidence will not support a 
determination that Epstein knew or believed that any of the women was under the age of 18. 
Indeed, the witness_state=ts1  demonstrate that the opposite is true. As 
herself 
told the PBPD: 
] told me to say I was 18 because 
said ... if you're not 
then he [Epstein] won't really let you in his house. So I said I was 18". Nor is there any 
evidence whatever that any of the women traveled in interstate commerce for the purpose of 
engaging in prohibited sexual activity or that Epstein ever traveled in interstate commerce for the 
purpose of engaging in prohibited sexual activity — the clear predicates for any federal violation. 
Neither is there any reason to breach the Petite Policy in favor of the discretionary exercise of 
federal jurisdiction: there has been a full investigation that has resulted in a prosecution by State 
authorities on charges deemed appropriate and that the facts will support. And, even if a case 
could be made, and the exercise of federal jurisdiction were warranted, the extraordinary forensic 
barriers to a successful prosecution, including the need to use witnesses who themselves have 
provided sworn statements that contradict key elements of any prosecution, compel that no case 
be brought. In fact, we believe the State's choice in which charges to pursue was informed by 
the significant credibility problems of the potential witnesses. 
I. 
The Facts Will Not Support a Charge Under Federal Statutes 
Governing Sexual Conduct 
Although to date the federal statutes Epstein may have violated have not been identified, 
nevertheless, there are certain key elements common to the statutes governing sexual conduct 
that we believe present insurmountable hurdles to any federal prosecution. We are, of course, 
prepared to provide further explication of why particular statutes are inapplicable to the conduct 
alleged here once the statutes you believe may apply have been specified. 
2 We are prepared to provide copies of all recordings if requested them.

1. Epstein Did Not Know or Believe Any Women Were Under 18 Years of Atte. 
Each of the potential statutes requires that the government prove that Epstein knew or 
believed a particular woman was under 18 (or in some instances, under 16), at the time of the 
events at issue. Epstein did not. There is substantial evidence, found in the sworn statements of 
the women themselves, that to the extent any were in fact under the age of 18, each affirmatively 
lied about her age because she knew that Epstein would not "let [her] into his house" if she were 
under 18. Evidence also supports that Epstein took affirmative steps to ensure that every woman 
was at least 18 years of age. In fact, many were indisputably over the age of 18.3

then he won't really let you in his house. So I said I was 18. 
As I was giving him a massage, he's like, how old are you? 
And then I was like 18. But I kind of said it really fast 
because I didn't want to make it sound like I was lying or 
anything. (Statement of 3/15/05). 
Q: Did he ask you your age? 
A: Yeah, I told him I was 18. (Sworn Statement of 10/05/05).

Even as to those women with respect to whom there is no explicit evidence of their being 
at least 18 at the time or having made affirmative misrepresentations of being so, each was 
introduced to Epstein through either 
or others,6 who instructed the women to say they 
were 18 even if they were not. Thus, proof of this critical element would be lacking. 
2. No Travel Was For the Purpose of Engaging in Prohibited Sexual Activity. 
Federal law criminalizes travel for the purpose of knowingly engaging in unlawful sexual 
activity with minors. United States' Hayward, 359 F.3d 631, 638 (3d Cir. 2004); United States 
I 7jikarsky, 446 F.3d 458, 471 (3d Cir. 2006). This is the highest level of culpability in the four 
tier hierarchy of culpability that the Model Penal Code uses. "The different levels in this 
hierarchy are commonly identified, in descending order of culpability, as purpose, knowledge, 
recklessness, and negligence. .. [A] person who causes a particular result is said to act 
purposefully if 'he consciously desires that result, whatever the likelihood of that result 
happening from his conduct." United Stalest Bailey, 444 U.S. 394, 404 (1980), quoting United 
States' United States Gypsum Co., 438 U.S. 422, 445 (1978).7
The Supreme Court has repeatedly interpreted this language to require that the illegal 
activity be the dominant motive for the travel. See, e.g., Mortensen' United States, 322 U.S. 
369, 373 (1944) (". ..an intention that the women or girls shall engage in the conduct outlawed 
by Section 2 must be found to exist before the conclusion of the interstate journey and must be 
the dominant motive of such interstate movement") (emphasis supplied); Hawkins' United 
States, 358 U.S. 74, 79 (1958) ("[T]he only factual issue in the case was whether petitioners 
dominant purpose in making the trip was to facilitate her practice of prostitution.. .); Cleveland 
I United States, 329 U.S. 14, 20 (1946) ("There was evidence ... that the unlawful purpose was 
the dominant motive."). 
There is no basis for concluding that Epstein's paramount or dominant purpose in going 
to Palm Beach on any occasion was to engage in proscribed sexual activity, even if we assume 
that some such conduct occurred while he was there. Epstein's interstate travel was motivated 
6 As 
said, "Like I said, some bring friends who bring friends". Statement of 10/3/03. 
7 Indeed, a 2003 change in the law, redefining the mens rea necessary for a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2423 
with respect to international travel, left untouched the standard for domestig travel, and thus underscores 
the strict standard needed for a prosecution in this area. See United Stalest Clark, 435 F.3d 1100, 1104-
05 (9th Cir. 2006).

by his need to be outside of New York for tax reasons. That was the principal purpose of his 
travel: to be certain not to be present in New York in excess of half of each year. That he chose 
Florida as his destination was a function of his decision made long ago to maintain a home there, 
which also was not motivated by any desire to or intention to engage in prohibited sexual 
activity. Epstein has maintained a connection to Florida for nearly 30 years, the last seventeen as 
a homeowner. Prior to that Epstein rented homes in the area. Epstein's parents also lived there 
for years and, before his mother's death in 2004, especially during the four years of illness that 
led to her death (his father died earlier), Epstein frequently traveled to see her. Since their 
deaths, he has traveled to Florida specifically to visit their graves. Epstein's brother, too, 
maintains a home in Palm Beach County. 
Indeed, Epstein has been traveling there regularly, integrating into the Palm Beach 
community. He was a member of The Breakers Club from 1993 to 2006. He maintains bank 
accounts in Florida, including accounts at the First Bank of the Palm Beaches, in which bank he 
had an ownership interest, as well. He holds a concealed weapons permit from the State of 
Florida; maintains the corporate records of his two airplanes in Florida, which airplanes receive 
virtually all of their scheduled maintenance work in Florida; has titled and registered twelve 
automobiles in Florida, as well as his boat; the majority of all demonstrations and inspections of 
new aircraft and boats have been done in Florida; until recently has maintained a driver's license 
in Florida; and he employs pilots who reside in Florida. So ensconced in Florida is he that his 
regular physician is based in Florida and most medical procedures he has had performed over the 
years have been done in Florida. Foundations he controls have donated generously and regularly 
to Ballet Florida during the period from 2000 to 2007. 
Epstein also uses his home in Florida for meeting regularly with important business 
contacts, many of whom either live or maintain residences in the Palm Beach area. Beginning in 
2003 and continuing through most of 2004, Epstein also traveled frequently to Florida to 
negotiate the purchase of the Abraham Gosman Estate, which was finally sold at auction in 
November 2004. Although, Epstein was ultimately outbid, nearly a dozen trips to Florida were 
made in direct pursuit of his offer. 
In furtherance of these activities — being out of New York for in excess of half of each 
year, visiting his mother and brother, meeting with business associates, and negotiating the 
purchase of the Gosman Estate — Epstein made 65 separate trips to Florida in 2004 and 20058.

Having massages were entirely incidental to the purpose of his travel to Florida. And 
given the other purposes of his travel to Florida, the act of going there cannot itself give rise to 
any inference of an improper purpose. Indeed, it can be demonstrated that Epstein typically 
spent between one third and one half his time at his home in Florida. 
Likewise, there is no evidence that any of the women traveled in interstate commerce for 
the purpose of engaging in the conduct alleged. Though the Police Report suggests that one of 
the witnesses, Alfredo Rodriquez, claimed that one or more of the women in question traveled on 
Epstein's plane, a careful reading of the interview itself shows that the detective confused 
Epstein's assistants, his girlfriend, and her friends, all of whom are indisputably over the age of 
18, with the women at issue here. More to the point, even if Rodriquez did so claim, the flight 
records and the statements of the pilots show conclusively that none of these women ever 
traveled in interstate commerce on any of Epstein's planes to engage in any of the conduct 
alleged. 
3. There Was No Intent To Eneage in the Conduct at the Time of the Travel. 
Even assuming arguendo that any travel occurred for the purpose of getting massages 
from women, there is no evidence that at the time he was traveling to Florida Epstein had 
planned to engage in the conduct with a person he knew or believed was under 18. Thus, even if, 
once in Florida, Epstein purposefully engaged in a proscribed act (which is denied), that purpose 
arose long after his travel to Florida was complete, while a particular massage with a particular 
masseuse was in progress. 
It is for these reasons that no prosecution would lie for the conduct alleged to have 
occurred with 
. According to the Police Report (at 13-15) 
a woman 
evidently in fact under 16 at the time of the events, met with Epstein on only one occasion. The 
evidence is that at the time he traveled to Florida, E stein ltad no knowledge that he would see 
anyone at all, let alone knowledge that he would see
 , or any person whom he knew or 
believed was under 16. Thus, whatever the evidence shows occurred during the time 
was in Epstein's home, any case would be fatally flawed because there is no evidence Epstein 
traveled in interstate commerce with any intention of meeting 
Similarly, there is no evidence that at the time he was traveling to Florida on any 
particular occasion he intended to engage in prohibited activity with any other person whom he 
knew or believed was under 18.

Statements in the Police Report that Have No Factual Basis or Are 
Contradicted by the Record 
We have reviewed recordings of many of the interviews (conducted in person or by 
telephone) and controlled calls cited in the Police Report. We have compared them to the 
statements purporting to summarize them in the Police Report and Probable Cause Affidavit.9 In 
instance after instance, we find material statements in the Police Report attributed to these sworn 
recorded statements that either simply were not said, or in some instances, are flatly contradicted, 
by the witness who purportedly made the statement. We highlight the most significant ones

Police Report at 40: "Epstein had purchased I 
I from her family in 
Yugoslavia ... [and] bragged he brought her to the United States to be his 
Y 
lavian sex slave". No such statement is made by M, who refers to 
as Epstein's "girlfriend" and refers offhandedly to other women 
in the home as "slaves". 
III. Material Omissions from the Police Report 
In addition to the misstatements in the Police Report and Probable Cause Affidavit as to 
the evidentiary record, there were also material °Missions, both of facts known to the PBPD and 
also of facts not known by the PBPD though known by the State's Attorney. In the latter 
instance, the lack of knowledge was the result of the PBPD's refusal to receive the evidence. 
Thus, anyone relying on the Police Report or Probable Cause Affidavit would have a skewed 
view of the facts material to this matter. Examples follow. 
1. 
The Video Surveillance Equipment Located in Epstein 'c Office and Garage. Both 
the Police Report (at 43) and the Probable Cause Affidavit (at 18) make particular 
mention of the "discovery" of video surveillance equipment (or "covert cameras" as 
they are called) in Epstein's garage and library/office. Inclusion of this information 
insinuates a link between the equipment and the events at issue: the Probable Cause 
Affidavit notes (at 18) that "on the first floor of the [Epstein] residence I [Detective 
I found two covert cameras hidden within clocks. One was located in the 
garage and the other located in the library area on a shelf behind Epstein's desk ... 
The computer's hard drive was reviewed which showed several images of 
and other witnesses that have been interviewed. All of these images appeared 
to come from the camera positioned behind Epstein's desk". 
Clearly omitted from both the Police Report and the Probable Cause Affidavit is the 
fact that the PBPD, and specifically Detective M, 
knew about the cameras since 
the cameras were installed in 2003, with the help of the PBPD, to address the theft 
of cash from Epstein's home. This fact is detailed in a Palm Beach Police Report 
prepared in October 2003 detailing the thefts, the installation of video equipment, the 
video recording capturing Alessi (then Epstein's house manager) "red handed", and 
the incriminating statements made by Alessi when he was confronted at the time. See

Polygraph Examination and
 On May 2, 2006, Epstein submitted to a 
polygraph examination by 
Slattery, a highly respected polygraph examiner 
who is regularly used by the State Attorney. The examination was done at a time 
when we were told that the sole focus of the investigation was the conduct with 
A copy of the Report is annexed at Tab 4. 
Epstein was asked (a) whether he had "sexual contact with 
'; (b) 
whether he "in anyway threaten[ed] 
"; (c) whether he was tolc. 
"that she was 18 years old"; and (d) whether he "believed 
was 18 years old". As set forth in the Report of the examination, the term 
"sexual contact" was given an extremely broad meaning in order to capture any 
inappropriate conduct that could have occurred.14 The results of the examination
confirmed that (i) no such conduct occurred; (ii) Epstein never threatened 
(iii) 
told Epstein she was 18 years old; and (iv) Epstein believed 
was 18 years old. Though the results of the examination were given to the PBPD and 
a meeting scheduled for the PBPD to meet with the polygraph examiner to satisfy 
itself as to the bona fides of the exam, representatives of the PBPD refused to attend 
the meeting and no information concerning the fact of the exam or the results 
appeared in the Police Report or the Probable Cause Affidavit. 
3. 
Broken "Sex Toys" in Epstein Trash. The Police Report details the police finding 
in Epstein's trash what is described as broken pieces of a "sex toy" and that this 
"discovery" purportedly corroborated witness statements. Omitted from both the 
Police Report and the Probable Cause Affidavit is the fact that during the course of 
executing the search warrant in Epstein's home, the police discovered the other piece 
of that key "sex toy" and realized it was in fact only the broken handle of a salad 
server. Though "sex toys" play a prominent role in the Police Report and Probable 
Cause Affidavit, the Police Report was never amended to reflect the discovery of this 
new and highly relevant evidence. 
4. 
Meetings with the State Attorney's Office. On multiple occasions, attorneys 
representing Epstein met with prosecutors and investigators in the State Attorney's 
Office. Though there is vague reference to one or more meetings with counsel (see, 
14 The definition included: "sexual intercourse, oral sex acts (penis in mouth or mouth on vagina), finger 
penetration of the vagina, finger penetration of the anus, touching of the vagina for sexual gratification 
purposes, touching of the penis for sexual gratification purposes, masturbation by or to another, touching 
or rubbing of the breasts, or any other physical contact involving sexual thoughts and/or desires with 
another person".

e.g., Police Report at 64, 87), virtually no information provided or evidence turned 
over to them regarding the alleged witnesses is included in the Police Report or 
Probable Cause Affidavit. Instead, there are misleading or false references to such 
me.i
s. For example, the briefest reference is made to a conversation Detective 
had on June 1, 2006, with 
regarding a meeting earlier that 
day between representatives of the State Attorney's Office and defense attorney Jack 
Goldberger (Police Report at 87). Omitted are the facts of the meeting (Police Report 
at 87): In addition to the presence of other defense counsel, there was in attendance 
both Slattery, who administered the polygraph examination, and a psychiatrist who 
had performed a rigorous psycho-sexual evaluation of Epstein and who concluded 
that Epstein not unhealthy and posed no danger. Both experts were made available 
for questioning by the State Attorney and the PBPD; unfortunately, the PBPD refused 
to attend the meeting. Nor is there any mention of the presentation made by defense 
counsel in which the claims being made with respect to 
(then the sole 
focus of any potential prosecution) were rebutted. 
5. 
Failure to Consider Exculpatory or Impeaching Evidence. Other exculpatory and 
impeaching evidence known by the PBPD was omitted from the Police Report and 
Probable Cause Affidavit by, in our view, manipulating the date the ah
lation was 
allegedly closed. According to the Police Report (at 85), Detective 
"explained [to I 
that the PBPD had concluded its case in December 
of 2005". That assertion, which is false, conveniently resulted in the omission of all 
information adduced subsequent to that date. Thus, though the Police Report in fact 
contains information obtained after December 2005, the PBPD purported to justify its 
refusal to consider, or even to include, in the Police Report, the Probable Cause 
Affidavit or what it released to the public, all the exculpatory and impeaching 
evidence presented on behalf of Epstein, most of which was provided after December 
2005. That evidence is listed below. 
6. 
Unreported Criminal Histories and Mental Health Problems of the Witnesses 
Relied on in the Police Report and Probable Cause Affidavit. Evidence obtained 
concerning the witnesses relied upon to support the Probable Cause Affidavit casts 
significant doubt on whether these witnesses are sufficiently credible to support a 
finding of probable cause, let alone to sustain what would be the prosecution's burden

of proof at a trial." Though such evidence was submitted to the PBPD, none of it 
was included in the Police Report or the Probable Cause Affidavit. 
a. Juan Alessi: While the Police Report (at 57) and the Probable Cause Affidavit (at 
21) contain assertions by Alessi which allegedly support the bringing of a criminal 
charge, omitted is the evidence revealing Alessi's evident mental instability; prior 
criminal conduct against Epstein; and bias towards Epstein. 
• 
Juan Alessi Admitted Burglarizing Epstein's Home and Mental 
Health Issues. As detailed above (at 12-13), in 2003, Alessi was filmed 
taking money from Epstein's home. After being caught on videotape 
unlawfully entering Epstein's home and stealing cash from a briefcase, 
Alessi admitted to the PBPD that he entered the house unlawfully on 
numerous occasions, stealing cash and attempting to steal Epstein's 
licensed hand ur

suicide. Though this information was known 
by Detective 
at the time the Police Report and Probable Cause 
Affidavit were prepared, and is clearly material to any determination of 
credibility, it was omitted. 
b. 
was the source of the vast majority of the 
serious allegations made a ainst Epstein. While the Police Report and Probable 
Cause Affidavit rely on 
numerous assertions, there are two significant 
problems w'
 that reliance. First there is no mention of material admissions 
made by MI during her interview, as well as on her MySpace webpage 
(discovered by defense investigators and turned over to the State Attorney). A 
copy of the webpage is annexed at Tab 5. Second, all but omitted from the Police 
Report is any reference to the facts known about her by the PBPD, specifically, 
that at the time 
was making these assertions she had been arrested by the 
PBPD and was being prosecuted for possession of marijuana and drug 
paraphernalia. A copy of the Police Report documenting 
arrest is

Admits Voluntary Sexual Conduct With Epstein, 
Refuses to Disclose the Disposition of the Monies She Earned and 
Lies About Being "Given" a Csit
y Epstein: Detective 
failed 
to include in the Police Report 
admission that on one occasion she 
engaged in sexual conduct 
stein's girlfriend as her birthday "gift" 
to Epstein. Nor does Detective 
include the fact that ■ 
flatly 
refused to discuss with him the disposition of the thousands of dollars she 
said she was given by Epstein, or that she falsely claimed not to use drugs, 
despite her MySpace entries that scream "I can't wait to buy some 
weed!!!! 
 Detective 
was aware the car had been rented, not 
purchased, and only month to month for two months. While 
fanciful claim that she was given a car appears in the Police Report, it is 
never corrected. 
• 
Was Arrested for Possession of Marijuana and Drug 
Paraphernalia. As noted, on September 11, 2005, 
was arrested for 
possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. See Tab 6. In response 
to this arrest, 
"came forward" (as the Probable Cause Affidavit 
implies at 10-11), claiming she had knowledge of "sexual activity taking 
place" at Epstein's residence and misconduct by Epstein. (This "coming 
forty r " ppears no where in the Police Report.) Thus, it becomes clear 
that 
assertions of misconduct by Epstein were motivated by a desire 
to avoid the repercussions of her own criminal conduct, which should have 
been taken into account when assessing her credibility as a witness.

Steals From a 
Secret Store. An investigation

the defense revealed that in late 2005 
was employed at a 
Secret store in Florida. Three days after 
her marijuana case was terminated,. was caught by a store manager as 
attempted to leave the store with merchandise in her purse, the 
security tag still attached. See Incident Report annexed at Tab 7. Seeing 
the manager, ■ 
claimed "someone is trying to set me up". Following an 
internal investigation, which disclosed additional thefts from both the store 
and a customer, she was fired. In a recorded interview, ■ 
admitted to 
stealing and asserted that her reason for doing so was that "she was not 
getting paid enough". This information and supporting documentation

announced that she "... forgot to let everyone

EVERYTHING!!! ... I got so fed up in that office that I handed the Loss 
Prevention lady back my keys and walked out". This information and 
supporting documentation was provided by the defense to the PBPD, but 
was not included in the Police Report or Probable Cause Affidavit.

Was 18 at the Time She Alleges to Have Engaged in 
Sexual Conduct with Epstein. Epstein denies he ever had sex with IF 
However, even if he did, evidence, in the form of a credit card receipt, 
was presented to the PBPD and the State Attorne
ffice which confirms 
that any such encounter occurred at a time when 
was already 18 years 
of age. (Indeed, it is our understanding that it was this information, 
combined with a theft report of her employer that highlighted her lack of 
credibility, that led the State Attorney to conclude that 
was neither 
credible nor a proper complainant.) This information, though known to 
the PBPD, was omitted from the Police Report or the Probable Cause 
Affidavit.

• 
Lies, Alleging Defense Investigators Impersonated 
Police Officers. During the course of the investigation, the defense was 
notified that an unidentified witness claimed that defense investigators had 
impersonated police officers in an effort to get her statement. The defense 
subsequently concluded that these accusations were made by 
(A 
reference to this accusation was included in the Police Report (at 67) and 
the Probable Cause Affidavit). Defense counsel immediately questioned 
the investigators and learned the accusation was baseless; the investigators 
ave 
a business card clearly identifying them as private investigators. 
initially declined to speak to the investigators because she said she 
"does not speak to cops", to which the investigators responded they were 
not "cops". Despite having this information from defense counsel, the 
PBPD failed to include it in the Police Report or Probable Cause Affidavit, 
instead citing only 
claims. 
While the Police Report and Probable Cause Affidavit contain 
numerous assertions intended to negate 
admission she told Epstein she 
was 18, omitted from these documents is reference to 
MySpace 
webpage, where she affirmatively represented to the world that she was 18, 
thereby corroborating her lie to Epstein. A copy of 
MySpace webpage

has a history of running away/turning up missing from 
her parents' various homes; of using drugs and alcohol; and of associating 
with unsavory individuals. For example, a Palm Beach County Sheriff's 
Office Report (annexed at Tab 10) details how only two days after she 
returned to Florida to live with her father, on March 31, 2006, police were 
called to the home in response to her father's report that she and her twin 
sister were missing. The Police Report describes her as "under the 
influence of a narcotic as [she] could barely stand up, [her] eyes were 
bloodshot, and [her] pupils were diluted [sic]". It further documents that 
and her sister had stayed out all night and were returned home 
by a "drug dealer". This event coincided with 
having been 
found at an "ina ro riate location" by Georgia police in response to a 
call about 
disappearance. Although this information, material 
to determining credibility, was provided by the defense and known to the
