FD-350 (Rev. 5-8.81) • • Mount Clippin• in Space Below) Suit accuses jailed tycoon of sex crime Jeffrey Epstein is in the county stockade. BaPENCER-WENDEL Post Stqff Writer WEST PALM BEACH — The line of civil law- suits against billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein has grown again, with the filing of at least the 12th claim. by a young woman who also says she was lured to his Palm Beach mansion as a teen and sexually abused. Prominent Miami at- torney Robert Josefsberg filed the most recent federal lawsuit last week, on behalf of the Jane Doe • 101 who allegedly visited Epstein a few times while 17 years old and was paid $200 at least once for her time there, according to the complaint The lawsuit mirrors facts alleged in other suits: that Epstein had a predilection for teenage girls, identified poor, vulnerable ones and lured them to his home via other young women. The teens describe as- cending a staircase lined with nude photographs of young girls and to the spa room where Epstein would appear in a small towel. Miami attorney Adam Horowitz, who repre- sents six other Jane Does, said Monday that the cases are still in the "discovery" process, with plaintiffs request- ing from Epstein phone records, pictures, videos. Horowitz said Epstein is refusing to turn over the materials, citing a Fifth Amendment right not to do so. "Stonewalling and delaying," Horowitz said. "Fin not surprised." Horowitz said he has asked US. District Judge Kenneth Marra to order Epstein to turn over the information. A local attorney for Epstein, Jack Goldberger, did not respond to a re- quest seeking comment. Epstein was jailed in July 2008 following a plea deal where he was sentenced to 18 months in jail for solicitation of prostitution and procur- ing a person under the age of 18 for prostitu- tion and must register as a sex offender. He is serving his sentence at the Palm Beach County Stockade, according to jail records, and is due 0 (I) del Cip pos .coin Jailed Palm Beecher.

I (Rev. 5-8.81) • • Mount Cliz Ding in Space Below) Women want sex plea deal unsealed Their attorneys will ask a judge to open Jeffrey Epstein's records. By iSPENdER-WENDEL Pam each Post Staff Writer WEST PALM BEACH - When wealthy money manager Jeffrey Epstein of Palm Beach pleaded guilty last year to pro- curing teens for prostitution, his case detoured around local and state rules regarding the sealing of court documents. At a plea conference on the state charges, a judge, a defense lawyer and a pros- • ecutor huddled at the bench and decided that a deal Epstein Epstein had struck with federal prosecu- tors to avoid charges should be sealed, according to a transcript of the hearing And so it was. But Florida rules of judicial admin- istration, as well as rules of the Palm Beach County court system, require public notification that a court document has been or will be sealed, meaning kept from public view. The 'rules also require a judge to find a significant reason to seal, See EPSTEIN, 4A ► See past coverage of Jeffrey Epstein's sex scandals.

a. • + 4A THE PALM BEACH POST • WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 2009 Public has right to know details of deal, Post attorney will claim lo• EPSTEINfrons IA such as protecting a trade secret or a compelling gov- ernment interest Yet no notification or reason occurred in Epstein's case, according to court records. Epstein's own attorneys, in federal filings, have referred to his confiden- fial deferred prosecution agreement with the US. attorney's office, struck in September 200Z as "un- precedented" and "highly unusual." And it was "a significant • inducement' for Epstein to accept the state's deal, observed the state judge who accepted his plea, County Judge Deborah Dale Pucillo. Epstein now faces at least a dozen civil lawsuits in federal and state courts filed by young women who said they had sex with him and now are seeking damages. Attorneys for some of those women want his agreement with federal prosecutors unsealed and will ask Circuit Judge Jef- frey Colbath to do so today "It is against public policy for these documents to be have been sealed and hidden from public scrutiny. As a member of the public, E.W. has a right to have these documents unsealed," wrote former Circuit Judge Bill Berger, now in private practice and representing one of the women. The Palm Beach Post also will ask Colbath to unseal the agreement Post attor- ney Deanna Sliullman will argue that the public has a right to know the specifics of Epstein% deal. According to various media accounts, Epstein moved in circles that in- cluded President Clinton, Donald 'frump and Prince Aridrew. "International Moneyman of Mystery," de- clared a 2002 New York mag- azine profile of Epstein. Epstein, 56, is in the Palin Beach County Stock- ade, serving an 18-month sentence after pleading guilty nearly a year ago to felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring teenagers for prostitution. He is allowed out from 7 am. to U pm., escorted a deputy, said Palm B County Sheriff% Office spokeswoman Teri Barbera. During a Palm Beach Police Department in- vestigation, five victims and 17 witnesses gave statements. They told of young women brought by his assistants to Epstein's mansion on El Brillo Way for massages and sexual activity, and then being paid afterward. At Epstein's plea confer- ence last year, his attorney, Jack Goldberger, and then-Assistant State At- torney Lanna Belohlavek approached Pucillo in a sidebar conference. Pucillo, who had left the bench nine years earlier, was filling in temporarily as a senior judge. • According to a transcript Goldberger told Pucillo that Epstein had entered a con- fidential agreement with the US. attorney's office in which federal prosecu- tors brokered not pursuing charges against him if he pleaded guilty in state court. Pucillo then said she wanted a sealed copy of the agreement filed in his case, and Goldberger concurred that he wanted it sealed. Belohlavek later signed off on it The Florida Supreme Court has expressed "seri- ous cobcenf and launched an all-out inquiry into seal- ing procedures across the state following media re- ports in 2006 of entire cases being sealed and disappear- ' ing from court records. "The public's cionstitu- tional right of access to court records must remain invio- late, and this court is. fully committed to safeguarding this right"justices wrote in their final report Epstein% office on Thiesday referred any questions to Goldberger, who declined to comment Pucillo also has declined to comment ®wsen_spencer_wendel€ybpostcom EFTA01072732

(Mount Clipping in Space Elebw) Judge rules Epstein attorneys can subpoena abortion records By JANE MUSGRAVE Palm Beach Post Staff Miter WEST PALM BEACH —In a decision that could spark a constitutional showdown over privacy rights, a judge 'Ilmsday gave lawyers rep- resenting multimillionaire sex offender Jeffrey Ep- stein the right to subpoena abortion records from women who are seeking millions in damages from the part-time Palm Beach resident Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Donald Hafele said the records could help Epstein rebut the women's claims that they suffered psychologi- cal ills after being, paid to give him sexually-charged massages at his Palm Beach mansion when they were as young as 14. • Hafele told EpsteinS at torneys they couldn't go on a fishing expedition. The medical records, he said, can't be sought until the women are asked whether they have ever had an abortion, how many and' where. Flirther, he said, the records would not be Epstein The judge says the records would not be made public. made publ c and might not be admissible during trial. But, he said, since the women claim Epstein, now 57, is responsible for their emotional distress, his attorneys can explore the impact of other events. Medical records,' Hafele said, are a better source of information than a persons memory. Attorney Louis Silver, who represents the Presi- dential Women's Health Center, a West Palm Beach clinic where abortions are performed, warned Hafele that he was stepping on shaky constitutional grounds. "These records are protected by our consti- tutional right of privacy," he said, referring' to the Florida Constitution. After the. hearing, Sil- ver said an appeal won't be necessary until Epstein at- torneys seek the records. In another ruling Wednesday, Hafele also said that videos from depositions in the state cases can't be released without a court order. The ruling came after Epstein attorney Robert Critton complained that a video of Epstein being asked whether he had an "egg- shaped" penis became a youtube.com sensation. It first appeared on The Palm Beach Post Web site. Critton blamed attorney Spencer Kuvin for releas- ing it Kuvin said it was public record. The civil suits began mounting after Epstein agreed to plead guilty to two state charges: procur- ing a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution. He served 13 months of an 18-month sentence. As part of the deal brokered with federal prosecutors, he agreed not to contest the accusations in the civil lawsuits. He can argue the women don't deserve the millions they are seeking.

Rodriguez, born in 1951., had told police that he waked for Epstein as a butler; chauffeur, chef and houstian! sometimes pick- ing Uf and cleaning sex toys left behind after Epstein fin- ished his encounters with the underage girls. According to the affidavit Rodriguez met the under- cover agent and produced a small bound book and several sheets of legal paper, which he told the agent he had tak- en from Epstein's home while employed there in 2004 and 2005. Rodriguez then began counting his $50,000 payoff. He was stopped, detained on the spot and questioned by agents, according to the See EPSTEIN, Mi ► Information could have altered case 10. EPSTEINfrom //3 affidavit Rodriguez told agents of witness- ing nude girls whom he believed to be underage at Epstein's pool area, of knowing that his former employ- er was having sex with underage girls, and of viewing underage por- nography on computers in Epsteink home. • • Special Agent Christina Pryor wrote that later review of the papers and book Rodriguez handed over revealed information "that would have been extremely useful in investigating and prosecuting the case, including names and contact information of material witnesses and additional victims." L , "Had those items been produced in response to inquiries of state law enforcement officers or the Special \ Agents, their contents would have been presented to the federal grand jury" Pryor wrote. The information allegedly with- held by Rodriguez may have been a tipping point in the controversial probe of Epstein. Federal prosecu- tors ended up striking an extraor- dinary deal with Epstein and his top-flight lawyers: agreeing to recall grand jury subpoenas if Epstein pleaded guilty to prostitution- related felonies in state court, which he ultimately did. Epstein received an 18-month jail sentence. He served 13 months and was allowed to leave the jail most waking hours of the day. An attorney for Rodriguez, Assis- tant Federal Public Defender Dave Brannon, declined to comment on his behalf An unnamed government witness mentioned in the affidavit is likely one of the attorneys representing women in a gaggle of current civil lawguits against Bp.Lein. • The affidavit outlines how the unnamed witness had deposed Rodriguez, who denied having docu- ments, then received a call from Rodriguez later offering to sell for $50,000 the "Holy GraiL" "Rodriguez explained that the information contained hundreds of additional victims and their phone numbers from diverse geographic locations including New York, New Mexico and Paris," according to the affidavit Rodriguez is scheduled to be ar- raigned in federal court Monday. Also in the affidavit are the reasons Rodriguez cited to the un- named witness for why he withheld the lists from investigators: He con- sidered it his property and should be compensated for it, and he feared the target of the federal investiga- tion, Epstein, would make him dis- c apiakotherwise harm him. • pri.datc.O.1 3 / 6 -A4,44- 1 Oitiipolz?

Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Barre and His Sex Den - The Daily Bee Page 1 of 3 i The Billionaire Pedophile's Sex Den HEAD THIS SKIP THAT BLOGS & STORIES PRINT by Conchita Sarnoff July 22.2010 I 11:46pm The Daily Beast reveals new details about the twisted sex life of Jeffre Epstein and his penchant for underage girls. on his massages, sex toys, and questionable deals. Also: • Nude images of young girls were scattered around the house and the bathroom soap was shaped like sex organs • Staff trolled for fresh recruits to make sure Epstein had two or three massage appointments each day • The house manager has been sentenced to a longer prison term than Epstein—for trying to sell notes regarding massage appointments • Epstein gave S1 million to his friend Jean Luc Brunel when he was starting the modeling agency MC2 • According to a former bookkeeper, young girls were brought to the U.S. by MC2—often from Eastern Europe—then traveled on Epstein's private jets Jeffrey Epstein's loyal friends say that his prosecution was unduly harsh, rather than outrageously lenient. They insist that his sexual habits, although obsessive and unusual, were mostly legal and essentially harmless. As the police records attest, the girls brought to El Brillo Way were routinely told they could "say no" at any time during a massage as Epstein escalated contact in a step-by-step assault that was remarkably similar in every victim's statement: First she would be asked to remove her shirt, then her pants. He would attempt to fondle her buttocks and breasts as he masturbated, then bring out a large vibrator. There was sometimes of ital enetration, and the more willing girls were lured into full-blown sexual relations with both Epstein and who was referred to in press accounts and police reports as Epstein's live-in "sex slave." A former bookkeeper in the Miami office, who also arranged visas for girls traveling to the U.S., confirmed that MC2 girls became frequent guests on Epstein's private jets. It's true that some underage girls may have lied about their age, and some came to the house voluntarily several times—although, according to Florida statutes, none of that has any bearing on the criminality of the contact, particularly if the girl was 16 or younger. But what is particularly disturbing about this case—judging by arrangements at the Palm Beach house—is that Epstein, a billionaire hedge-fund manager, organized his life around this sexual compulsion in an open and methodical way that suggests he felt he was beyond the law. Billionaire Pedophile Goes Free According to police who executed a search warrant, the house was decorated with large, framed photos of nude young girls, and similar images were found stashed in an armoire and on the computers seized at the house (although police found only bare cables where other computers had been). Some bathrooms were stocked with soap in the TIC- O1m— to gO&A. http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-07-22/jeffrey-epstein-pedophile-billi... 7/23/2010 EFTA01072743

Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Bil ionaire and His Sex Den - The Daily Be. Page 2 of 3 shape of sex organs, and various sex toys, such as a "twin torpedo' vibrator and creams and lubricants available at erotic specialty shops, were stowed near the massage tables set up in several rooms upstairs. E stein also enlisted his staff in the predatory activity, and four Lesley Groff, and in the FBI investigation. The Non Prosecution Agreement stipulated that they would not be charged. According to police reports and sworn statements in the civil suits, all four women, among their other duties, worked to ensure that an appointment book for twice- or thrice-daily 'massages" was stocked with fresh recruits. Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late Czechoslovakian-born press baron Robert Maxwell, who was for many years Epstein's live-in partner, also recruited young girls. Since his 13-month sentence for soliciting prostitution with a minor, Epstein has settled more than a dozen lawsuits brought by underage girls. Seven victims reached a last-minute deal last week, days before a scheduled trial; each received well over $1 million—an amount that will hardly dent Epstein's $2 billion net worth. The victims told police they waited in the kitchen to be called upstairs for a massage, and the house chef often gave them a bite to eat. House manager Alfredo Rodriguez said in his sworn statement that a maid named Lupita, who was a devout Catholic, wept when she complained to him about cleaning up after the massage sessions, picking up soiled towels and putting away the sex toys. And she was upset that a photo of Epstein with the pope hung next to one of him with a young girl. Ironically, Rodriguez, who ran the house on El Grillo Way in 2004 and 2005, ended up being sentenced to more jail time than his boss as a result of the complex investigation into Epstein's activities. He was fired, he says, for inadvertently drawing police attention to one of the girls when she arrived at the house unannounced to collect money. He saw an unfamiliar 'beater" in the driveway one evening and called 911. When he left Epstein's employ, Rodriguez took away some notes and emails about massage appointments as 'protection* against his own prosecution, and failed to produce them during the Palm Beach Police Department's initial investigation. Unable to get work as a house manager elsewhere in South Florida, he says, Rodriguez later tried to sell this "golden nugget"—his term—for $50,000, to be used in the victims' civil suits. Unfortunately, he made the offer to an undercover cop, and was subsequently charged with "obstruction of official proceedings" for withholding information that could have advanced the criminal investigation of Epstein—which by that point had been settled in a plea deal. Rodriguez was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison (Epstein was allowed to serve 13 months in the Palm Beach county Jail), and now awaits an additional sentence on Aug. 24 in federal court In Miami for transporting firearms, another deal he says he made to pay the bills after he lost his Job. In a deposition given for the civil suits, Rodriguez testified that he was instructed to always have $2,000 in cash on hand, so that he could pay both the girls who gave massages and recruiters such as who brought them to the house. He also testified that Epstein made large contributions to the Palm Beach Police Department, and in return was given PBPD baseball hats to put on the dashboard of his various cars to avoid being stopped or ticketed by local police. Retired Police Chief Michael Reiter, in his own deposition, acknowledged that, In addition to earlier donations to the police department (which are fairly common in well-heeled Palm Beach), Epstein had recently given the department $100,000 for some sophisticated equipment. The police were still researching the purchase when Epstein came under suspicion, and Reiter ordered the money retumed. (Guy Frostin, one of Epstein's local attorneys, told police that Epstein also gave $100,000 to the Florida Ballet for massages, because he was 'very passionate' about massages being "therapeutically and spiritually" beneficial. Yet victims told police they had no massage training.) Perhaps most disturbing, in terms of possible sex trafficking, was Epstein's relationship with Jean Luc Brunel, owner of the MC2 modeling agency. According to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, an alleged victim said that Epstein, Maxwell, Brunel, Rodriguez, and "deliberately engaged in a pattern of racketeering that involved luring minor children through MC2, mostly girls under the age of 17, to engage in sexual play for money' (Which would amount to trafficking.) Brunel is a 50-plus French playboy who was formerly part owner of Karin, a Paris-based modeling agency. He lives in New York and South Beach, Florida, and owns 85 percent of MC2, which has offices in New York, Miami, and Tel http://www.thedailybeastcom/blogs-and-stories/2010-07-22/jeffrey-epstein-pedophile-billi... 7/23/2010 EFTA01072744

CBS reporter Craig Pyes, who Investigated MC2 for a 60 Minutes broadcast several years ago, is quoted In Michael Gross' book about the modeling industry, Bad and Beautiful. Pyes told the author that Brunel "ranks among the sleaziest people in the fashion Industry. We're talking about a conveyor belt, not a casting couch. Hundreds of girls were not only harassed but molested." Now The Daily Beast has teamed that Epstein had made a $1 million wire transfer to Brunel's offshore bank account in September 2004, just as he was setting up MC2. Whether this was a gift or a loan or a backdoor Investment in the new venture is unknown. A French citizen who managed to avoid giving evidence in the Epstein investigation, Brunel declined to comment on any of this, as does Fuller. Asked in April of Brunel's activities, Epstein said "I'm 100 percent convinced that he doesn't traffic children? (Brunel has never been charged.) An American fashion designer who booked her girls through MC2 says they were very young and very beautiful; many were from Eastern Europe and spoke tittle English. A former bookkeeper in the agency's Miami office, who also arranged visas for girls traveling to the U.S., confirmed that MC2 girls became frequent guests on Epstein's private jets. Pilot logs obtained in the civil suits show that some of the named plaintiffs were on the flight manifests. Other times, the pilot would just list the other passengers plus "female."
