Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) From: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 3:08 PM To: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS) Subject: RE: Questions Hi Jeff— Sorry. I have an indictment going tomorrow so I haven't had a chance to work on the notice yet, but, yes, I planned to use the 12/19 language. I am going to start working on that right now. As to filing the indictment under seal with the state court, I really think this is walking too close to a 6(e) violation, and since the state judges up here don't like us too much, Judge McSorley would probably order it unsealed which would cause huge problems, both in terms of Rule 6(e) and because the public reaction will be — if the US had the evidence to prosecute all of these counts, which is he skating with 18 months? I haven't heard anything from Roy or anyone else. Let me think about ways other than contacting the State Attorney's Office to accomplish our goals. A. Marie Villafana Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S. Australian Ave, Suite 400 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 Phone 561 209-1047 Fax 561 820-8777 From: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS) Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 2:53 PM To: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) Subject: Questions 1. Can we file the proposed indictment under seal with the State Court judge? The agreement states that the parties anticipate that this agreement will not be made part of any public record. 2. Was your suggestion to prepare a notice to victims incorporating the language of the 12/19 letter? Tracking: eat EFTA00194197

Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) From: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 3:45 PM To: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS); Senior, Robert (USAFLS) Cc: Atkinson, Karen (USAFLS) Subject JE I am just reading through all of the new submissions. I don't know which makes me angrier, all of the blatant lies, or Matt Menchel telling them (Lilly, no doubt), that I am "unsupervisable." Jeff, I'm sorry I got you into this. On another, ironic, note. Today, Epstein's lawyers are filing motions to stay the four federal lawsuits against Epstein, under 18 USC 3509(k), which states: "If, at any time that a cause of action for recovery of compensation for damage or injury to the person of a child exists, a criminal action is pending which arises out of the same occurrence and in which the child is the victim, the civil action shall be stayed until the end of all phases of the criminal action and any mention of the civil action during the criminal proceeding is prohibited." I guess it saves me the trouble of filing the motion after we indict. And, for the record, I still haven't met Bert O., and he is neither EJ's "law partner" nor his "law school roommate." A. Marie Villafalla Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S. Australian Ave, Suite 400 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 Phone 561 209-1047 Fax 561 820-8777 Tracking: EFTA00194199

(ODAG) (SMO) Subject: Re: Epstein Thanks John. Original Message From: Roth, John (ODAG) (SMO) To: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS); Senior, Robert (USAFLS) Cc: Soffer, Gil M. (ODAG) (SMO) Sent: Fri Jun 20 09:01:18 2008 Subject: FW: Epstein FYI. Gil and I have finished our review. Even if we were to substitute our judgment for yours, we believe that this case is one that is appropriately in federal court. We also see nothing in the conduct of the USAO that gives us any reason to doubt that the case is being handled professionally. We briefed the DAG on it yesterday and he agrees. The attached late submission throws a slight wrinkle into this, but I think we can still satisfy your timetable. I have asked Starr and Lefkowitz for an electronic version of whatever he is going to send, to be sent this morning. I am going to schedule a telephone conference for this afternoon or this evening to let them know, but I thought you should know so you can start planning. Please don't reach out to defense counsel until we let them know. From: Kenneth Starr [mailto:kstarr@kirkland.com] Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2008 9:11 PM To: Roth, John (ODAG) Cc: Jay Lefkowitz; Ken.Starr@Pepperdine.edu Subject: Re: Epstein Dear Mr. Roth, As you have requested, we are sending our supplemental submissions and binder of materials to the Department for delivery tomorrow. Attached here is our introductory letter. I will be traveling abroad next week and kindly ask that you contact my colleague in this matter, Jay Lefkowitz, by email or by telephone at 202-446-4970. Kind regards. 882 EFTA00194205
