I. Introduction
A. Affiant
I.
I have been a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") since
2012. As such, I am a "federal law enforcement officer" within the meaning of Federal Rule of
Criminal Procedure 41(aX2)(C), that is, a government agent engaged in enforcing the criminal
laws and duly authorized by the Attorney General to request a search warrant. I have been
employed by the FBI for three and a half years. and I am currently assigned to investigate violations
of criminal law relating to the sexual exploitation of children. I have gained expertise in this area
through classroom training and daily work related to these types of investigations. As part of my
responsibilities, I have been involved in the investigation of sex trafficking cases, and have been
involved in search warrants for physical premises.
2.
I make this Affidavit in support of an application pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal
Rules of Criminal Procedure for a second warrant to search the premises specified below (the
"Subject Premises") for the purpose of seizing the items and information described in
Attachment A. This affidavit is based upon my personal knowledge; my review of documents and
other evidence; and my conversations with other law enforcement personnel. Because this

affidavit is being submitted for the limited purpose of establishing probable cause, it does not include all the facts that 1 have learned during the course of my investigation. Where the contents of documents and the actions, statements, and conversations of others are reported herein, they are reported in substance and in part, except where otherwise indicated. B. The Subject Premises 3. The Subject Premises are particularly described as a multi-story, single-family residence located at 9 East 71st Street. New York, New York. and include all locked and closed containers found therein. As detailed further herein, the Subject Premises is believed to be owned. possessed and controlled by JEFFREY EPSTEIN, a target subject of this investigation. A photograph of the front entrance to the Subject Premises is included below: C. The Target Subject and the Subject Offenses 4. The Target Subject of this investigation is JEFFREY EPSTEIN. 5. For the reasons detailed below. I believe that there is probable cause to believe that the Subject Premises contain evidence, fruits. and instrumentalities of violations of Title 18. United 2 2017 08.02 EFTA00257725
Page 37 / 70
States Code, Section 1591 (sex trafficking of minors); and Title 18, United States Codc, Section 371 (sex trafficking conspiracy) (the "Subject Offenses") by the Target Subject. 11. Probable Cause and the First Warrant A. Probable Cause Regarding the Target Subject's Commission of the Subject Offenses 6. On or about July 2. 2019, a grand jury in this District returned an Indictment charging JEFFREY EPSTEIN with the Subject Offenses. A copy of the Indictment is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated by reference. B. Probable Cause Justifying Search of the Subject Premises The Indictment and Victim-1 7. As set forth in Exhibit A, from at least in or about 2002, up to and including at least in or about 2005, JEFFREY EPSTEIN sexually abused multiple minor girls in the Southern District of New York and elsewhere. During that time and continuing to the present, EPSTEIN possessed and controlled the Subject Premises, which is described in Exhibit A as "the New York Residence." 8. As further set forth in paragraphs 8 through 10 of Exhibit A, from at least in or about 2002, up to and including at least in or about 2005, EPSTEIN sexually abused numerous minor victims at the Subject Premises. In particular, and as alleged in the Indictment, when a victim arrived at the Subject Premises, she would be escorted to a room inside the Subject Premises with a massage table, where she would perform a massage on EPSTEIN. 3 2017.08.02 EFTA00257726
Page 38 / 70
. Following each encounter, EPSTEIN or one of his employees or associates paid the victim in cash. 9. As set forth in paragraphs 12 through 13 of Exhibit A, to furtherfacilitate his ability to Mink minor giris in New York, JEFFREY EPSTERsl asked.andenticedzertain:ofhis victims.to recruit additional minor girls to perform "massages" and similarly engage in sex acts with, EP . When a vial wouldirecruit another minor girl for EPSTEIN, he:pai &both the victim- recniter arid the new victim hundreds of dollars in cash. EPSTEIN knew that his victims were unditage, including because certain victims tadhim:their age. • 1:0. One Of the victims identified inparagraph 22 ofExhibit A is Victim I. As:part of the FBI's investigation of13PSTEIN, other law enforcemeM•officers have interviewed Victim-1! I Imo* from my conversations with other law enforcementofficers who have interviewed Victim- 1, thin Victim-1 has provided the following information, in substanceandirt.part • al Between approximately 2002 and. 2005, EPSTEIN sexually abused Victim-1 on multiple occasions in the Subject Premises. This sexual abuse all occurred when Victim-1 was undii the age of 18. b. During that sante period, Victim-1 observertmultipleiloors of the SubjectPremises and numerous individual rooms within the Subject Premises. Victim,1 has .provided detailed In Meetings with the Government, Victim-1 has disclosed that, approximately a decade ago, she committed marriage fraud in order to obtain a green card and, subsequently, U.S. citizenship. She has .also disclosed personal substance abuse, primarily involving the abuse of prescription drugs, during various periods between the early 2000s and 2019. Victim-1 has also disclosed haVing worked for approximately a year at a "happy-ending" massage parlor, perfonning paid sex acts. Victim-1 is currently pursuing a civil damages claimagainst EPSTEIN for his sexual abuse of her. Infontation provided by Victim-1 has proven reliable and has been corroborated by independent eVideIce, including documents and records obtained during the investigation and the accounts of aid :victims whom Victim-1 has never met. 4 2017.(ig.02 EFTA00257727
Page 39 / 70
descriptions of certain aspects of the interior of the Subject Premises, including Victim-I's memory of specific details regarding the layout, furnishings, decorations, and floor pattern of various areas within the Subject Premises. c. In particular, Victim-1 observed that a bathroom in the residence contained what appeared to be a bust of a human torso (the "Torso"). Victim-1 believed that the Torso was possibly a type of sex toy. d. In addition, Victim-1 recalled observing what appeared to be a taxidermied dog in a living space in the Subject Premises. e. Victim-1 recalled that EPSTEIN typically abused her in a room she described as a "massage room," (the "Massage Room"), which contained a massage table, and was decorated with artwork depicting naked women, hung on walls that appeared to be adorned with fabric. f. Victim-1 has not been in the Subject Premises since approximately 2005. The July 6. 2019 Search Warrant of the Subject Premises 11. On or about July 6, 2019, the Honorable United States Magistrate Judge, signed a search warrant authorizing a search of the Subject Premises. The search warrant is attached as Exhibit B and incorporated by reference herein. 12. At approximately 6 p.m. on or about July 6, 2019, law enforcement officers (the "Search Team") commenced executing the search warrant at the Subject Premises; I joined the Search Team thereafter. While inside the Subject Premises, I observed the following, among other things: a. Inside a closet within the entryway to a bathroom in the Subject Premises; I observed what appear to be two busts of femalethuman torsos, from their upper pelvis to the neck. In addition, inside the bathroom, I observed a third bust, which appears to depict a female body 5 2017,08.02 EFTA00257728
Page 40 / 70
froni the ribcage to the clavicle (collectively, (the "Busts"). The Busts do not appear to be designed for lige as sex toys, and appear instead to be artwork. Nevertheless, based on my conversations with law enforcement officers who have interviewed Victim-1, I have/earned that the Busts appear to be generally consistent with Victim-l's description of observing the Torso in EPSTEIN's bathroom in the Subject Premises. Accordingly, there is probable cause to'believe that the Busts are corroborating evidence of Victim-l's description of the'Subject Premises. b. Inside the Subject Premises, I observed a room that, based on my conversations with law enforcement officers who have interviewed Victim-1, appears to be consistent with Victim-1's descriptions of the Massage Room. The room contained a table covered with a sheet, and appears to be a massage table. The walls appear to be covered in a type of felt-like tapestry fabric;. I further observed two paintings and three photographs hanging on the walls of the Massage Rook: The paintings and photographs depict nude females. One of the photographs appears to depict a nude girl. Based on my training and experience investigating crimes involving thesexual exploitation' f children, the girl appears to be approximately 15 to 20 years-old. c. Inside the Subject Premises, inside a closet adjacent to a bathroom, I observed a shelf that appears to contain several black binders, with labele on the spine of each binder. In paieular, one of the binders is marked with a series of labels, one of which reads: "PB Girls." Given that the Indictment charges EPSTEIN with participating in a conspiracy to engage in sex traffi6king of minor girls in both Palm Beach, Florida and New York, I believe that "PB Girls" may refer to minor victims in Palm Beach, Florida. d. Inside the Subject Premises, in what appears to be EPSTEIN's office, on or about the second floor of the Subject Premises, I observed what appears to be a taxidennied dog (the "Dog"). Based on my conversations with law enforcement officers who have interviewed 6 2017.d.02 EFTA00257729
