A51 Letter from Jack A. Goldberger to NYS Sex Offender Registry Regarding Florida Registration Level applicable to Jeffrey E. Epstein, dated August 12, 2010 A51-A52 ACTERBURY GOLDBERGER ' JOSEPH R ATTERBURY ' 1 JACK A. GOLDBERGER ' JASON S.WEISS ' Board Certified Crimoal TrialAttorney I Member cd New Jersey & Florida Bars August 12, 2010 New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services Sex Offender Registry 4 Tower Place Albany, N.Y. 12203 RE: Jeffrey E. Epstein To Whom It May Concern: The undersigned represented Jeffrey E. Epstein in the investigation that lead to his entry of a guilty plea on June 30, 2008 to a felony charge in the State of Florida that required sex offender registration. The purpose of this letter is to clarify the level of registration that was applicable to Mr. Epstein's case Under Florida's registration scheme there are two levels of registration available based on a risk assessment. Florida characterizes these two levels as sexual predator and sexual offender. The sexual predator designation is obviously the more serious classification. Mr. Epstein, based on the offense on which his guilty plea was entered, was classified as a sexual offender, Florida's lowest level of sexual registration. In fact, within the sexual offender designation there are two sub-levels of reporting requirements. One classification requires reporting to the local Sheriffs Office twice a year and one requires reporting four times a year. In Mr. Epstein's case he is required to report at the lowest level, two times per year. Accordingly, under the Florida registration scheme, Mr. Epstein's registration requirements are at the lowest level for a person for whom registration is required. During the incarcerative portion of Mr. Epstein's sentence, he was allowed to participate in the Sheriffs Office work release program, an option thatwould not have been available to him had he been at a higher registration level. Additionally, while Mr. Epstein was in probationary status, he was allowed to travel on a limited basis for business purposes. This would not have been available to him had he been classified as a sexual predator. One Clearlake Centre.

A53 Letter from Martin G. Weinberg to NYS Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders Regarding Risk Level and Designation Determination for Jeffrey Epstein, dated August 16, 2010 [pp. A53-A571 MARTIN G. WEINBERG, P.C. ATTORNEY • LAW 20 PARK PLAZA, SUITE 1000 BOSTON. MASSACHUSETTS 02116 FAX August 16, 2010 New York State Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders 4 Tower Place Albany, New York 12203-3764 Re: Jeffrey Epstein NYSID # O51909 • Dear Sir or Madam: EMAIL ADDRESSES: This letter and the accompanying materials are submitted to the Board pursuant to its notice of August 2, 2010, concerning the risk level and designation determination to be made with respect to Jeffrey Epstein. Their purpose is to demonstrate to the Board that, based upon Mr. Epstein's history and personal characteristics, the circumstances of the offense which triggered the registration requirement, his acceptance of responsibility, his successful completion of his sentence and subsequent supervision, and the extraordinary unlikelihood of his ever again reoffending, the appropriate risk level designation is level I. Overview Mr. Epstein, who is presently 58 years old, is a successful and respected financial advisor who also founded and heads a philanthropic organization, the C.O.U.Q. Foundation, Inc. which funds medical, educational, and advanced scientific research. The offense which led to the requirement that he register as a sex offender in Florida, which in turn triggered this state's reporting requirement, ended almost five years ago and involved an exchange of money and consensual conduct with a young woman who, for all but a few months of the prostitution offense charged, was M. the age of 17. Notably, as addressed in greater detail, infra, the conduct which occurred after reached the age of 17 would not even have been a misdemeanor under the cognate New York statute at the time the offense was committed. Mr. Epstein pled guilty to that offense in the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County, Florida, and has fully and sincerely accepted responsibility for his conduct. There have been no subsequent incidents of criminal misconduct of any description. EFTA00232619

A54 Florida has classified Mr. Epstein as its lowest level sex offender, with the lowest level of reporting requirement, as verified by the attorney who represented Mr. Epstein in the Florida proceedings: Under Florida's registration scheme there are two levels of registration available based on a risk assessment. Florida characterizes these two levels as sexual predator and sexual offender. The sexual predator designation is obviously the more serious classification. Mr. Epstein, based on the offense on which his guilty plea was entered was classified as a sexual offender, Florida's lowest level of sexual registration. In fact, within the sexual offender designation there are two-sub-levels of reporting requirements. One classification requires reporting to the local Sheriff's Office twice a year and one requires reporting four times a year. In Mr. Epstein's case, he is required to report at the lowest level, two times per year. Accordingly, under the Florida registration scheme, Mr. Epstein's registration requirements are at the lowest level for a person for whom registration is required. Letter of Jack A. Goldberger, Esq., Ex. A. That Florida authorities did not — and do not — believe that Mr. Epstein presented a risk of reoffense is evidenced not just by Mr. Epstein's lowest-level reporting designation but also by the fact that he was permitted, while serving his sentence in the West Palm Beach County Jail, to leave the jail on a daily basis on work release for most of the period of his 13-month incarceration and that during his subsequent year of community control supervision (a probationary-typesentence), both the court and his probation officer agreed to permit him to travel outside Florida for business purposes on a significant number of occasions. He has now completed his year of community control supervision, having fully complied with all the requirements and obligations imposed on him. In addition, Mr. Epstein has participated in therapy with a clinical psychologist, Stephen R. Alexander, Psy. D., who, based on his evaluation of, and therapy sessions with, Mr. Epstein and his long experience as a forensic psychologist, attests that Mr. Epstein presents no threat to the community and that the risk of his reoffending is "negligible": Since my initial assessment of Mr. Epstein he has been extremely cooperative with all of the services provided to him. He has spent a great deal of time and energy focusing on his behavior and the attitudes, beliefs and expectations that undergird his approach to life. He has examined his priorities and undergone a comprehensive self-exploration on more than one occasion, primarily because of the vast changes that have occurred in his life and the upheaval these events have caused. Throughout it all Mr. Epstein has remained willing to focus on himself and how to turn even the most dire personal circumstances into productive experiences to the fullest extent possible. In my opinion Mr. Epstein has been highly cooperative with and benefited from the treatment provided. Relying upon my 25 years of experience as a forensic psychologist and the plethora of data gathered by me, 1 state with confidence that Mr. Epstein poses no threat to himself or the community. It is abundantly clear that he has learned his lesson and the probability of his reoffending is negligible. Mr. 2 EFTA00232620

A55 Epstein poses no threat to either himself or the general community, and he requires no additional intervention or treatment for his no-risk/low-risk status to be maintained into the future. Letter of Stephen R. Alexander, Psy. D., submitted herewith as Ex. B.' All of these circumstances — Mr. Epstein's low-risk classification in Florida, the state where the offense was committed, the low-risk assessment inherent in the decisions of Florida authorities responsible for the protection of the community, who knew him first-hand, to admit him to work release during his period of incarceration and to permit him to travel outside of Florida during his period of community control supervision, Dr. Alexander's well-supported judgment that Mr. Epstein presents little or no risk of reoffense, the fact that the offense ended almost five years ago, and there has been no subsequent criminal misconduct of any kind, and the fact that Mr. Epstein is a mature, responsible, professional adult who uses neither alcohol nor drugs all support the conclusion that the supervision which accompanies a level I designation will more than suffice to serve the purposes of SORA. That conclusion is supported by the calculation of Mr. Epstein's risk assessment guidelines score. The Conduct Underlying the Offense Triagerinz the Florida Registration Requirement Would For the Most Part Not Even Have Been a Registerable Offense in New York. Had the Conduct Occurred in New York The offense which required Mr. Epstein to register as a sex offender in the state of Florida was a violation of Fla. Stat. §796.03, which criminalizes procuring a rson under the age of 18 (the age of consent in Florida) for prostitution, specifically, here, one ''=" The nearest New York cognate among the registerable offenses listed in N.Y. Correction Law §168-a is N.Y. Penal Law §230.04 (patronizing a prostitute). The information to which Mr. Epstein pled guilty charged that the offense occurred between AusLst 1, 2004, and October 9, 2005, see Information, Ex. C, that latter date being the day before M's 18th birthday: Thus, for almost all of the duration of the charged offense, M. was over the age of 17, and the wholly consensual conduct in exchange for money which occurred between the two would not even have been a registerable offense in New York. See §168-a(2XaXi)(§230.04 a registerable offense only if "person patronized" is in fact under 17 years old). Indeed, at the time of the offense at issue, the conduct which occurred after M. turned 17 years of age would not even have been a crime under that statute if the conduct had taken place in New York? Mr. Epstein's offense ranks among the least serious of those which trigger the requirement of SORA registration. The single Florida offense which required registration involved ' Dr. Alexander's CV is included in Ex. B. 2 In 2007, §230.04 was amended to extend its coverage to prostitution offenses involving individuals of any age, not just those under the age of 17, as the statute was written when Mr. Epstein's offense was committed in 2004-05. Under §230.04 as written in 2004-05, the offense, to the extent that M. was in the last three months of her 16th year, would only have been a misdemeanor had it been committed in New York. 3 EFTA00232621

A56 only one woman, and there was no force or violence involved at any time, nor did M. suffer from any mental disability, mental incapacity, or physical helplessness. The points attributable to the Current Offense factors (factors 1-7) total less than 70. Criminal History Prior to the offense at issue Mr. Epstein had no prior criminal history whatsoever. Mr. Epstein's date of birth i and he was, accordingly, more than twenty years of age when the offense at issue was committed. Mr. Epstein does not use alcohol or illegal drugs and has no history of either drug or alcohol abuse. Accordingly, Mr. Epstein should be scored at zero for the Criminal History factors (factors 8-11). Post-Offense Behavior On June 30, 2008, Mr. Epstein pled guilty to the offense which subjected him to the requirement that he register as a sex offender in Florida and has fully accepted responsibility for hit conduct. Mr. Epstein served approximately 13 months in a West Palm Beach County jail (rather than in a state correctional facility). During most of his period of confinement, from October 10, 2008, through July 22, 2009, the date of his release, Mr. Epstein participated in the jail's work release program, see Letter of Deputy K. Smith, Ex. D, which permitted him to leave the jail in the morning six days a week for his place of employment, the Florida Science Foundation, and return in the evening. That Mr. Epstein satisfactorily complied with the requirements of the program is evidenced by the fact that he remained in the work release program up to the time of his release from custody. After his release on July 22, 2009, Mr. Epstein was subject to a one-year period of community control, which required, among other conditions, that he maintain contact with the probation office as required, that he be confined to his residence during the hours when he was not working or performing public service, that he not leave his county of residence without the consent of his probation officer, that he commit no further violations of the law, and that he maintain employment. During Mr. Epstein's period of community control from July 22, 2009, through July 21, 2010, he was permitted by the court, with the assent of his probation officer and without opposition by the state's attorney, to travel (including overnight stays) to New York and to the Virgin Islands for business purposes on a number of occasions, thus demonstrating a substantial level of trust by both the court and his supervising probation officer in Mr. Epstein's ability to refrain from unlawful conduct of any kind and to conform his conduct to the terms of his community control order and to the orders authorizing his travel, which he did on every such occasion? Mr. Epstein successfully completed his term of community control on July, 21, 2010, see Florida Department of Corrections Termination of Supervision notice, Ex. F, having at all times fully complied with all obligations and restrictions imposed upon him. Mr. Epstein has never refused or been expelled from any treatment since the time of his sentencing (factor 12(2)). See pages 2-3, supra. Based on his professional expertise and the ' One such travel order is attached as Ex. E. EFTA00232622
Page 707 / 1120
A57 substantial time he has spent with Mr. Epstein, Dr. Alexander is able to state unequivocally that Mr. Epstein has learned his lesson, that he presents no threat to the community, and that there is negligible risk that he will ever reoffend. Accordingly, Mr. Epstein should be scored at zero for the Post-Offense Behavior factors (factors 12-13). Release Environment Factor 14 contemplates that the risk level assessment will be made, as required under New York law, prior to the offender's release from incarceration. Here, as the preceding section shows, Mr. Epstein was released from jail more than a year ago and was subject to close supervision for a period of one year afterwards. During the same time, he continued to meet with Dr. Alexander. The score for factor 14 should, accordingly, be zero. Mr. Epstein maintains a vacation residence in Manhattan, which he owns, as well as residences in Florida and the Virgin Islands. Mr. Epstein's interactions in connection with both his employment and philanthropic work are with adult business professionals, scientists, and educators. There is nothing in either Mr. Epstein's living or employment situations which could even remotely be considered "inappropriate." The score on factor 15 too should be zero. Overrides None of the listed factors are of any relevance or applicability to Mr. Epstein's risk level designation. Conclusion It Based on all the relevant factors, Mr. Epstein should be classified as a level I sex offender. Even should the Board somehow conclude that Mr. Epstein's risk assessment guidelines score exceeds 70, the circumstances addressed in this letter differentiate this case so markedly from the norm of level 2 sex offenders that the Board should recommend a level I classification, as it is empowered to do under the Sex Offender Guidelines. The ultimate issue is the risk that the offender will reoffend, and the information provided to the Board with this letter persuasively demonstrates that such a risk is virtually nonexistent in this case. 5 EFTA00232623

A65 RE: JEFFREY E EPSTEIN NYSID #: 0S1909 DATE: 8/23/2010 CASE SUMMARY This assessment is based upon a review of the inmate's file which may include but is not limited to the pre-sentence investigation, prior criminal history and post-offense behavior. Jeffrey Epstein is a 57-year-old sex offender who pled guilty in the state of Florida on 6/30/2008 to two felony sex offenses, Procuring a Person Under I g for Prostitution and Felony Solicitation of Prostitution. He was sentenced tot 2 months in jail followed by 12 months of Community Control. It would appear he was convicted in London England of Unlawful Possession of an Offensive Weapon, a Sword Stick, and was sentenced to a Conditional Discharge on 1/4/1973. Regarding the instant offense, Epstein was approximately 51 years of age on or about the year 2005 when he sexuallyassaulted numerous females between the approximate ages of 14 and 17. Most of the victims were recruited by one of Epstein's female employees from a local high school in the Palm Beach Florida area. Some of the female participants were age 18 or older. The contact included vaginal intercourse, mouth to vagina sodomy, the touching of the breasts and vagina, placing his fingers inside the vagina and Epstein using a vibrator on the victim's vaginal area. The available police reports from the Palm Beach Police Department include conversations with numerous female victims who in most cases, did not know Epstein when they were victimized. Most of the females were embarrassed to speak with police regarding what had happened to them while they were at Epstein's home. Sworn statements were taken from at least five victims and seventeen witnesses concerning massages and unlawful sexual activity that took place at the residence of Jeffrey Epstein. Most of the victims were paid at least $200.00 each time they performed a massage. The victims were told they would be giving Epstein a massage and they were escorted to his bedroom. Most victims noted numerous pictures of naked young females, (some of the photos depicted females who would be -- eventually interviewed by police), on display throughout the home. The offender would enter the room only wearing a towel. In most cases he would remove the towel and ask the victim to remove her clothing. In some cases he would masturbate into a towel while receiving a massage. In other cases he would touch the breasts or vagina of the victim with his hands or use the vibrator. One 14 year old.described how Epstein touched her vaginal area with a vibrator and thereafter, when contacted by law enforcement, she had to identify the offender through the use of a photo array. Another 16-year-old victim described giving Epstein massages for two years and at times, he grabbed her buttocks and caressed her butt cheeks as she gave him a massage. Another 16-year-old described going to the offender's home at least 100 times. He would touch her breasts, insert his fingers into her vagina and sometimes use the vibrator on her while masturbating. He would also pay this underage victim to have sex with a female friend while he watched. Occasionally, he would join both girls and perform oral sex on both. This 16-year-old victim described for police how one time, Epstein turned her over on t Triaasaa,, talk, and y alp I Iv bui‘amed, "NO: tic blooml and subsetptently-apotogized-for his actions. The offenders conduct while on Community Control will be considered satisfactory and he does not have a history of substance abuse. Based upon his plea of guilty, Epstein will be credited with accepting responsibility for his actions. He will be scored for sexual and deviate sexual intercourse, forcible compulsion, numerous victims and their ages, a continued course of sexual misconduct, a prior misdemeanor conviction in England absent specific information, for his stranger relationship to most victims and for establishing a relationship with these underage girls for the purpose of victimization. The Board acknowledges correspondence received from the offender's attorney. EFTA00232631
