Tammie is with "Special Programs" — they handle prisons, nursing homes, police departments. She is fabulous and you two would get along great. She and I worked together at the firm in Minneapolis, then she went to a firm in DC and then to DOJ. I think she has been there for around 7 years. She is a Deputy Chief now, I think. Thank you for the vote of confidence with Epstein. I am trying to focus on the fact that he would have gotten a complete walk if I wasn't so hard-headed. A.

Billionaire pleads to Fla. prostitution charge TIIE ASSOCIATED PRESS WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- New York billionaire Jeffrey Epstein has pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from underage girls in South Florida. Circuit Judge Deborah Dale PucIllo sentenced the 55-year-old money manager Monday to 18 months in the Palm Beach County jail, followed by a year of house arrest. He will also be designated a sex offender. Epstein was arrested two years ago. Authorities allege he paid several girls under the age of 18 $200 to $300 each in return for naked massages at his Palm Beach home that sometimes became sexual. He also faces state and federal lawsuits flied by several women over similar allegations. Tracking: 725 EFTA00194291

(USAFLS) Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 5:36 PM To: jason@scvan.org Subject: Epstein Investigation Hi Jason — Sorry we missed each other today. 1 wanted to inform you and (through you) your clients, of the resolution of the federal investigation of Mr. Epstein. He plead guilty today in state court to one charge of felony solicitation of prostitution and one charge of procurement of minors to engage in prostitution. He received 18 months' imprisonment to be followed by 12 months of community control with home confinement. He also must register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life. His agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office also required him to make certain concessions regarding possible civil suits brought by the victims. I was hoping to discuss this with you over the telephone. I also wanted to confirm the names of the victims whom you represent, and I wanted to see if you are in a position either to represent the victims in connection with such litigation or if you can refer them to someone who could perform that task, if the victims ask for recommendations. Let's talk tomorrow in more detail. Thank you. Please treat this e-mail as confidential. A. Marie Villafana Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.
