By LARRY KELLER Palm Beach Post Ste Writer WEST PALM BEACH - A former Palm Beach Community College student who police say procured underage girls to give Jeffrey Epstein sexual massages at his Palm Beach mansion, and Epstein's personal assis- tant have been sued along with Epstein over their alleged conduct The girl behind the lawsuit was 14 years old when she contends he engaged in sexual conduct with her after she went to his water front home in 2005 to give him a massage. Her lawsuit, filed under the name Jane Doe,. seeks unspecified damages from Epstein for sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

FD-350'/Rev. 5.8-81) • Palm Beacher pleads in sex case Jeffrey Epstein will serve Ph years on teen solicitation charges. By LARRY KELLER Palm Booth Post Staff Writer WEST PALM BEACH — He lives in a Palm Beach water- front mansion and has kept company with the likes of President Clinton, Prince An- drew and Donald Thump, but investment banker Jeffrey Ep- stein will call the Palm Beach County Jail home for the next 18 months. Epstein, 55, pleaded guilty Monday to felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution. After serving 18 months in jail, he will be under house arrest for a year. And he will have a lifelong obligation to register as a sex offender. He must submit to an HIV test within 48 hours, with the results • being pro- vided to his victims or their parents. As part of the plea deal; federal investigators agreed to drop their investigation of Epstein, which they had taken to a grand jury, two law enforcement sources said. • Epstein was indicted two years ago after an D.-month investigation by Palm Beach police They received a complaint from a relative of a 14-year-old girl who had given Epstein a naked mas- sage at his five-bedroom, 7,234-square-foot, $8.5 million Intracoastal home.

• Epstein faces civil lawsuits; more clients may be added 10. EPSTEIN from IA were several other girls brought in 2004 and 2005 to an upstairs room at the home for similar massages and sexual touching. The indictment charged Epstein only with felony so- licitation of prostitution. The state attorney's office later added the charge of procue ing underage girls for that purpose. Prosecutor Lanna Be-. lohlavek said of the plea: "I took into consideration the length the trial would have been and witnesses having to testify" about sometimes embarrassing incidents.

JEFFREY HERMAN Attorney who represents alleged victims, commenting on the plea The judge was skeptical but agreed to it. Epstein's legal woes don't end with Monday's plea. There are four pending fed- eral civil lawsuits and one in state court related to his behavior. At least one woman has sued him in New York, where he owns a 51,000- square-foot Manhattan man- sion. "It's validation of what we're saying in the civil cases," said Miami attorney Jeffrey Herman, who repre- sents the alleged victims in the federal lawsuits. West Palm Beach attorney Ted Leopold represents one al- leged victim in a civil suit in state court. He said he antici- pates amending that lawsuit to add "a few other clients" as well. In the criminal case, po- lice went so far as to scour Epstein's trash and conduct surveillance at Palm Beach International Airport, where they watched for his private jet so they would know when he was in town. They con- cluded that Epstein paid girls $200 to $300 each after the massage sessions. Heidi Fleiss," , now 22, told police a ou er efforts in recruiting girls for Epstein. There was probable cause to charge Epstein with un- lawful sex acts with .a minor and lewd and lascivious mo- lestation, police concluded. The state attorney's of- fice said questions about the girls' credibility led it to take the unprecedented step of presenting the evidence against Epstein to a grand jury, rather than directly charging him. Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter was furious with State Attorney Barry Krischer, saying in a May 2006 letter that the prosecu- tor should disqualify himself. "I continue to find your office's treatment of these cases highly unusual," he wrote. He then asked for and got a federal investigation. Epstein hired a phalanx of high-priced lawyers—includ- ing Harvard law professor and author Alan Dershowitz — and public relations people who questioned Reiter's com- petence and the victims' truthfulness. In addition to mansions in Palm Beach and Manhat- tan, Epstein owns homes in New Mexico and the Virgin Islands. He's a frequent con- tributor to Democratic Party candidates. He also donated $30 million to Harvard in 2003. Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer returned a $50,000 campaign contribu- tion from Epstein after his indictment, then resigned this year during his own sex scandaL And the same Palm Beach Police Department that vigorously investigated Epstein returned his $90,000 donation for the purchase of a firearms simulator. Stafftotiter Eliot Igeinberg and staff researcher Michelle Quig- ley contributed to this story. 0 latry Icellerepbpost.com EFTA01072625

FD•350 (Rev. 5.8.81) (Indicate page, name of newspaper, city and state.) ount Cl"n in S Below Rich man fought the law — and he mostly won Thro years after a grand jury indicted him on a felony charge of solicitation of prostitution, Jeffrey Epstein finally admitted that he lured a teenage girl to his $8.5 mil- lion, 13,000-square-foot Palm Beach mansion for sex. A week ago, the 55-year-old investment banker be- gan ser'ing 18 months in jail. But that plea deal — guilty of felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution — does not account for all five of the girls, one as young as 14, who alleged that Epstein sexually abused them. And why is Epstein serving his term in the overcrowded Palm Beach County Jail and not a state prison, where inmates are sent if their sentences are longer than one year? The slow, dissatisfy- ing resolution of the case sends a message to the public that there's a dif- ferent system of justice for the wealthy who hire high-powered lawyers. Epstein's legal team includ- ed West Palm Beach defense attor- ney Jack Goldberger, Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz, who defended OJ. Simpson against murder charges, and Kenneth Starr, the prosecutor who pursued then-President Bill Clinton for lying about sex with young women. Palm Beach police spent 11 months investigating Epstein be- fore State Attorney Barry Krischer sent the case to a grand jury, in- stead of charging Epstein so the man who once boasted of accepting only billionaire clients could face a trial. The police had taken a high school transcript, class schedules and phone messages from Epstein Why is Jeffrey Epstein in jail, and not prison? home that showed he knew the girls were underage. Yet Mr. Krischer was more swayed by Epstein's law- yers, who attempted to impugn the girls' character by showing they had chatted on myspace.com about smoking marijuana and drinking He should have let a jury decide whether the victims — and Epstein —were credible. Ultimately, one charge against Epstein finally reflected the age of one victim, and the plea agreement left Epstein labeled a sex of- fender. With that additional charge, if Epstein had been convicted at a trial, he could have been sentenced to anything from probation to 15 years in prison, Assis- tant State Attorney Lanna Belohlavek said, adding that the recommended guideline sentence was 21 months. Epstein also won't have to cer- tify to the court that he is receiv- ing counseling typically required of sex offenders, because he has a private psychiatrist. But without court supervision, who will ensure Epstein is in fact being treated? The plea deal also drops a federal investigation of Epstein. If a federal investigation was warranted, how does dropping it before completion benefit the public? Epstein preyed on girls and de- nied it. For three years, his wealth and the influence of his lawyers bought him the protection the state attorney owed to the victims.

Richard Johnson hardiobasanenypost tom With Paula Froelich 8IIIHoIlmann Corynne Stelndler and Marianne Garvey July 21, 2008 — THREE young women Suing billionaire Jeffrey Epstein for sex abuse at his Palm Beach mansion want a federal judge to quash the plea deal he made with the state of Florida to serve 18 months in jail in exchange for admitting he solicited a 14-year-old hooker. Their lawyer, Brad Edwards, has asked US District Judge Kenneth Marra to toss the deal - which included an agreement that Epstein's wouldn't face federal prosecution, which could have led to a longer jail term - because they weren't consulted on it. Marra has asked for more information before he rules. Epstein's rep, Howard Ruben stein, said, "The lawsuit has absolutely no merit. They're just looking for money. These women have lied repeatedly, and in no way shape or form were they victims. They were at his place freely and voluntarily.
