Re: Jeffrey Epstein

Dear Mr. Krischer:

I write to you to confirm our meeting with Lanna on June 14, 2006. It is our hope that in light of the recent developments in this case which we have set forth in our letter of June 5, 2006, our meetings, and herein, in particular the fact that there is no sex alleged, this case can be disposed of with, at most, an informal agreement, or more appropriately, no charges being filed at all.

the struk of some powle remain over passing is called

As you know, it was only at the June 1, 2006 meeting, after eight months of investigation, that you and I both learned, for the very first time, and I believe to our collective disbelief, that the allegation of the girl did not raise the slightest hint of actual sex. Up until that point, we had all been laboring under the assumption this girl had alleged multiple sexual encounters with my client. In fact, as you are aware, it was with this in mind that we hired slightest Slattery, a highly respected polygraph expert, who unequivocally confirmed our client's long held position both that there was no sex and that the girl clearly stated she was 18 years old. Since, we now know with certainty that there are in fact no allegations of sex, and no sex occurred between my client and this girl, I would ask you to consider your previous statements to the effect that you would not bring a "touching case" – NO sex, NO charge – in fashioning an appropriate resolution to this matter.

As we have discussed many times, the girl's credibility is highly questionable and has been severely undermined by her actions over the past few months in: (1) repeatedly changing her age on her web page (first 17, then 16, then 15) and posting graphic nude and suggestive photographs of herself; (2) boasting about shoplifting, underage drinking,

smoking, and having sex; (3) being observed by the police as clearly on drugs; and, (5) running away to an unsafe drug location. With this background, it has certainly taken a while to sort things out, but, the agreed to facts of this case are that: (1) this girl, was driven to my clients' home with the express and sole purpose of providing a topless massage; (2) she told my client she was 18 years old; (3) she received her agreed upon two hundred dollars; (4) before leaving she wrote down her phone number and stated next time she wanted to bring her twin sister along; (5) my client never saw her again; and, most importantly (6) no sex occurred. It was only several MONTHS later, that we are led to believe, one of her parents, both of whom have criminal records for fraud, contacted the police.

Finally, as you consider your options, I quite frankly think it unfair to give much weight to the pressure being brought to bear by law enforcement. Their comments which have been brought to my attention certainly indicate, at a minimum, a lack of objectivity. With all this in mind, I believe that it is only just, especially now that we are both certain there was no sex involved, that your office opt NOT to prosecute this case. However, given the totality of the circumstances, coupled with the fact that a "Google search" is now a "forever" reference on any job application, I believe that the girls involved, my client, and all concerned would be better served with at worst an informal resolution of this matter. Certainly it seems preferable to filing a charge that we all currently concede would likely not succeed if brought to trial. I appreciate the personal attention you have given to this matter, and look forward to you response.

Re: Jeffrey Epstein

Dear Ms. Belohlavek:

As a follow up to our meeting of June 1, 2006, held in an attempt to resolve this matter, we write to address the following issues which have arisen: (1) the risk, were the client to plead to aggravated assault in Florida, that he might be subject to sex-offender registration statutes in other jurisdictions, now or in the future; (2) the nature of the charge of felony "aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony," and how it does not reflect the allegations herein; and, (3) whether a felony conviction itself is justified based on the available evidence.

At the outset of our June 1, 2006 meeting, we were mindful that an understanding had been reached with prior counsel. It was reached, however, with the clear and joint understanding that the client would not be subjected to sex offender registration requirements in any state or foreign jurisdiction. Moreover, the limited time provided did not allow for an opportunity to conduct an even cursory investigation or research into the ramifications. Were any charge to be brought, having now learned of the serious danger a plea to felony aggravated assault presents with regard to sex offender registration, coupled with the facts presented at our meeting and outlined below, we strongly believe that a plea to misdemeanor solicitation is the more appropriate resolution. As we discussed, this could include an agreed upon allocution, as we are mindful of your concern about labeling the girls "prostitutes." In this regard, as we discussed, the law and relevant statute are clear that the complaining witness need not be a "prostitute" in order to satisfy the elements of the offense.

I. An Aggravated Assault Conviction Might Subject the Client to Sex-Registration

There is a likely risk that a plea to aggravated assault, F.S.A. § 784.021(1)(b), will expose the client to registration obligations under the Megan's Law statutes, either as currently written, or as likely to be amended or expanded in the future, in a number of jurisdictions, including, but not limited to, ones where he lives, works, or spends time. This is true regardless of whether the plea expressly specifies that the felony he had the intent to commit was lewd and lascivious behavior under F.S.A. § 800.04 or sexual battery under F.S.A. § 794.011.

As my client is a full time resident of the Virgin Islands, the most immediate and obvious unintended result of a plea to felony aggravated assault is the possible registration in his place of residency. The Virgin Islands statute, 14 V.I.C. § 1722 et seq., is very broad, imposing a duty to register upon a "person convicted ... on or after July 1, 1994 of a criminal offense against a minor". 14 V.I.C. § 1722(a) (emphasis added). Under § 1722 (c), "a person convicted ... in a federal, military or foreign court shall have the same duty to register as any other person under this statute." Failure to register is a crime. 14 V.I.C. § 1722(d). Further, while the Virgin Islands registry is currently accessible only to law enforcement, there are ongoing discussions about opening it to the public. See, Virgin Islands Daily News, May 15, 2006, at http://www.virginislandsdaily news.com/index.pl/article_home?id=17296624.1

Under current law, a plea to aggravated assault will also likely subject the client to registration in his secondary domicile of New York. The list of registrable offenses in New York under the Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) is a long one, which continues to grow. In 1999, eight new offenses were added to the list of registrable offenses, and again on March 11, 2002, seven new offenses were added.

A non-exhaustive search has identified two other jurisdictions in which the client would appear to be subject to registration requirements simply on the basis of a plea, in Florida, to aggravated assault - Oklahoma and Montana.

Oklahoma requires the registration of persons convicted of assault with intent to commit a felony, in violation of 21 Okl. St. Ann. § 681 "if the offense involved sexual assault." See, 57 Okl. St. Ann. § 582 (A). Oklahoma law requires the registration, too, of persons convicted of an offense outside the jurisdiction which, if committed in the state, would constitute a registrable offense. 57 Okl. St. Ann. § 582(B).

Likewise, Montana requires registration of both sexual offenders and violent offenders. "Violent offenders" include persons convicted of any violent offense, which is expressly defined to include "aggravated assault" under MCA 45-05-202, or "any violation of a law of another state ... reasonably equivalent" to that crime. MCA 46-23-502(9).

AW OFFICES OF P.C. GERALD

June 5, 2006 Page 3

In New York, a person must register as a sex offender if they are required to register in the jurisdiction of conviction or, if convicted in a foreign jurisdiction, his conviction there meets "all the essential elements" of New York's enumerated sexual offenses. See, N.Y. Corr. Law §§ 168-1(2)(a)(1), (d), (3). In spite of the statutory reference to "essential elements," some New York courts have looked at the facts underlying the offense of conviction, rather than the formal elements of the offense, in determining whether registration is required. Each finding that a defendant was required to register on the basis of the underlying conduct even though the essential elements test was not satisfied. See, People v. Burden, 6 Misc.3d 1033(a)(Sup. Ct. Bronx Cty. 2005); People v. Millan, 189 Misc.2d 419, 730 N.Y.S.2d 392 (Sup. Ct. N.Y. Cty. 2001).

The same serious concern arises in other states, including California and Colorado, which authorize courts to look behind the plea, and beyond the formal elements of the offense of conviction, and enable them on a case by case basis to determine if registration is required.

Like New York, California requires an individual to register if they are required to register in the state of conviction, or pursuant to CA Penal Code § 290(a)(2)(D)(I) if that individual "... since July 1, 1944, has been, or is hereafter convicted in any other court, including any state, federal, or military court, of any offense that, if committed or attempted in this state, would have been punishable as one or more of the offenses described in subparagraph (A)". The wording of the statute leaves open the possibility that, in determining whether the offense would have been punishable as one or more of the registrable offenses, one looks at the underlying facts, and not at the formal elements of the crime to which the defendant pled. The registrable California offenses include commission of "any lewd or lascivious act ... upon or with the body of child" where the child is "14 or 15 years" of age and "that person is at least 10 years older than the child" "with the intent of arousing, appealing to, or gratifying the lust, passions, or sexual desires of that person or the child". CA Penal Code § 288(a), (c) (1). Thus, an aggravated assault plea may subject the client to a registration requirement in the State of California.

Colorado likewise has a very broad statute. It requires an individual to register within five business days of becoming a temporary or permanent resident of the state, if, among other things, the person has been convicted in Colorado or any other state of an offense involving sexual behavior (or an attempt, solicitation or conspiracy to commit such an offense), or if they are required to register in another state or jurisdiction for a sex offense. C.R.S.A. §§ 16-22-103, 16-22-108.

With regard to Florida, as you know, it is reasonably clear that under Florida's current version of Megan's Law, a plea to aggravated assault would not subject the client to registration in Florida since it is not included among the state's enumerated "sexual offender" offenses. See

Public Fiedore Faguest to 9002991-NOL

Ms. Lanna Belohlavek June 5, 2006 Page 4

F.S.A. §§ 943.0435, 784.021. However, the offense of sexual battery is on the list, as well as the charge of lewd and lascivious behavior, so there is no assurance that, in the future, a Florida prosecutor or court will not take the position that, where the aggravated assault is combined with what some states have labeled a "sexually motivated intent" registration is required.

Moreover, as you indicated at our meeting, there is no guarantee that the Florida legislature will not expand the category of persons subject to Megan's law, and expressly make persons convicted of aggravated assault subject to the law, especially where the felony the actor had the intent to commit is a sexual offense, and the victim is a minor. The trend today is towards expansion, not contraction, of these kinds of statutes, and as you noted, Florida will be no exception. See, e.g., "Sex Offenders; No More Escaping Registration," 36 McGeorge L. Rev 822 2005 (Over the last twenty years expanded registration requirements, enhanced penalties for failure to register, and public notification provisions have enlarged the scope of sex offender registration laws); see news articles of just this past week infra describing many of the proscriptions being adopted around the nation. And, the ex post facto clause stands as no significant bar. See were v. Doe, 538 U.S. 84 (2003) (upholding Alaska Sex Offender Registration Act against a challenge that its application to persons whose offenses were committed prior to its enactment would violate the ex post facto clause). If this trend continues, as it likely will, the client will almost certainly be subject to sex offender registration.

Even if the client is not and will never be subject to registration requirements under Florida's laws, a plea to aggravated assault under the circumstances of this case could subject him to Megan's Law requirements in other jurisdictions. Thus, if the client pleads guilty to the proposed aggravated assault charge, there is a grave risk that under existing state and Virgin Islands law – quite apart from future expansion or expansive construction of those laws – he will be subject to sex offender registration requirements and/or criminal exposure for failure to register. There is an even graver risk still that there will be future expansion of the statutes or expansive construction of them that will mean he is covered or arguably so. See. e.g., Cherry Sex Offender Ordinance Upheld, Courier Post, June 1, 2006, at http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060601/NEWS01/606010389/1 006;2 More States Move to Use GPS Tracking of Sex Offenders, Fox News, May 31, 2006, at

<sup>2 This article discusses a decision handed down by a municipal court judge in New Jersey during the course of our meeting. That decision upheld a zoning restriction on sex offenders living within 2500 feet of schools, buy, playgrounds, public libraries, or day care centers. While other jurisdictions' zoning laws carrently restrict such individuals from living within 1000 feet of these institutions, were they to follow the lead of Charry 10, New Jersey, the client would most certainly be faced with the added burdens of selling his residences and moving in order to be in compliance with the law.

Indeed, as you recognized during our meeting, many people who were advised by competent counsel to plead guilty to offenses when registration was not required have now been horrified to find themselves subjected to registration laws enacted or expanded after their guilty pleas, without any recourse. See, 1999 v. Doe, supra, 538 U.S. 84. Finally, although there is some risk that even a plea to a misdemeanor charge could trigger registration in some jurisdictions, our research suggests that this risk is considerably lower for a misdemeanor plea than for a felony plea.

II. Aggravated Assault is Generally Considered A Violent Felony And Does Not Apply to the Facts of This Case

Assault is generally considered an act of force. It "create[s] in the victims a well founded fear of imminent violence." Velasquez v. State, 654 So. 2d 1227, 1228 (Fla.2d DCA 1995). The general public is certainly not aware of Florida's unique nuanced definition. Indeed, as you will agree, in common usage, aggravated assault, on its face sounds inherently violent. Thus, at the very least, most people will consider an aggravated assault charge, even of the "intent to commit a felony" variety, to be a violent crime. In this regard, undifferentiated aggravated assault is one of only four crimes listed in the FBI's Uniform Crime Report "violent crime" category.3

More importantly, as noted, this crime clearly does not reflect what allegedly occurred since there has been no suggestion that a threat of serous bodily harm was made or a deadly weapon used. In addition, most pleas are "downward" – the defendant agrees to waive his right to trial in return for the prosecution's offer of a downward departure in charging or sentencing. Further, in the typical case a plea involves crimes that bear a close resemblance to the underlying events. The facts herein, obviously do not support a charge of aggravated assault, thus a plea to same would be inappropriate.

<sup>3 The UCR divides its statistics into three major categories: violent crimes, property crimes, and hate crimes. "Violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assuult." "Violent Crime," Crime in the United States, 2004, at http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius\_04/offenses\_reported/violent\_crime/index.htm].

Ms. Lanna Belohlavek June 5, 2006 Page 6

III. Since the Meeting on February 16, 2006 When Misdemeanor Charges Were Initially discussed, the State's Case has Gotten Considerably Weaker

At the February 16, 2006 meeting, you suggested the Office was investigating a felony and you indicated you would consider pleading it down to a misdemeanor. As you are aware, since then much has happened which makes the alleged case considerably weaker and undermines the credibility of the witnesses upon which it was based. Indeed as you already know the following information has come to light severely damaging the reliability of the witnesses: (i). background, including a history of theft, confessions and repeated denials of stealing from employers and customers, lying about her age, sexual promiscuity, and boastful admission of drug use, underage drinking, sexual prostitution; (ii) activity, shoplifting, exaggeration of her income (at least $250,000), representing herself naked on a website and as 17 years old, then 16, then 15, only changing it to her truthful age, coincidentally four days before the last scheduled grand jury. In addition, as you have acknowledged, she was found in an inappropriate place in Georgia after the police were called when she ran away from home. This is separate and apart from the Florida police report presented to you, detailing her being dropped off by the local drug dealer at 5:45 a.m., only two days after returning to West Palm Beach, and being described by the officer as clearly on drugs; and (iii) both of _____ parents' criminal history of fraud.

In stark contrast to this is the fact that, as we indicated at the meeting, the client has passed both a rigorous lie detector test, conducted by the most highly qualified expert we could find, one whose reputation is beyond reproach, and provided you copies of two psycho-sexual evaluations prepared by experts that you have agreed are well-recognized and accepted by the State.

IV. Conclusion

Under the circumstances of this case a plea to felony aggravated assault is both unwarranted and presents a grave risk the client will be brandished a sex offender, bearing the attendant burdens inherent with that classification. In light of this, and the credibility issues presented by the complaining witnesses, combined with the client's two psycho-sexual evaluations and lie detector tests, we believe that at the very most, a misdemeanor plea to solicitation is appropriate.

The Virgin Islands statute, 14 V.I.C. § 1722 et seq., is very broad, imposing a duty to register upon a "person convicted ... on or after July 1, 1994 of a criminal offense against a minor". 14 V.I.C. § 1722(a) (emphasis added). Under § 1722 (c), "a person convicted ... in a federal, military or foreign court shall have the same duty to register as any other person under this statute." Failure to register is a crime. 14 V.I.C. § 1722(d). Further, while the Virgin Islands registry is currently accessible only to law enforcement, there are ongoing discussions about opening it to the public. See, Virgin Islands Daily News, May 15, 2006, at http://www.virginislandsdaily news.com/index.pl/article_home?id=17296624.1

Under current law, a plea to aggravated assault will also likely subject the client to registration in his secondary domicile of New York. The list of registrable offenses in New York under the Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) is a long one, which continues to grow. In 1999, eight new offenses were added to the list of registrable offenses, and again on March 11, 2002, seven new offenses were added.

<sup>1 A non-exhaustive search has identified two other jurisdictions in which the client would appear to be subject to registration requirements simply on the basis of a plea, in Florida, to aggravated assault - Oklahoma and Montana.

Oklahoma requires the registration of persons convicted of assault with intent to commit a felony, in violation of 21 Okl. St. Ann. § 681 "if the offense involved sexual assault." See, 57 Okl. St. Ann. § 582 (A). Oklahoma law requires the registration, too, of persons convicted of an offense outside the jurisdiction which, if committed in the state, would constitute a registrable offense. 57 Okl. St. Ann. § 582(B).

Likewise, Montana requires registration of both sexual offenders and violent offenders. "Violent offenders" include persons convicted of any violent offense, which is expressly defined to include "aggravated assault" under MCA 45-05-202, or "any violation of a law of another state ... reasonably equivalent" to that crime. MCA 46-23-502(9).

Ms. Lanna Belohlavek June 5, 2006 Page 3

In New York, a person must register as a sex offender if they are required to register in the jurisdiction of conviction or, if convicted in a foreign jurisdiction, his conviction there meets "all the essential elements" of New York's enumerated sexual offenses. See, N.Y. Corr. Law §§ 168-1(2)(a)(I), (d), (3). In spite of the statutory reference to "essential elements," some New York courts have looked at the facts underlying the offense of conviction, rather than the formal elements of the offense, in determining whether registration is required. Each finding that a defendant was required to register on the basis of the underlying conduct even though the essential elements test was not satisfied. See, People v. Burden, 6 Misc.3d 1033(a)(Sup. Ct. Bronx Cty. 2005); People v. Millan, 189 Misc.2d 419, 730 N.Y.S.2d 392 (Sup. Ct. N.Y. Cty. 2001).

The same serious concern arises in other states, including California and Colorado, which authorize courts to look behind the plea, and beyond the formal elements of the offense of conviction, and enable them on a case by case basis to determine if registration is required.

Like New York, California requires an individual to register if they are required to register in the state of conviction, or pursuant to CA Penal Code § 290(a)(2)(D)(I) if that individual "... since July 1, 1944, has been, or is hereafter convicted in any other court, including any state, federal, or military court, of any offense that, if committed or attempted in this state, would have been punishable as one or more of the offenses described in subparagraph (A)". The wording of the statute leaves open the possibility that, in determining whether the offense would have been punishable as one or more of the registrable offenses, one looks at the underlying facts, and not at the formal elements of the crime to which the defendant pled. The registrable California offenses include commission of "any lewd or lascivious act ... upon or with the body of child" where the child is "14 or 15 years" of age and "that person is at least 10 years older than the child" "with the intent of arousing, appealing to, or gratifying the lust, passions, or sexual desires of that person or the child". CA Penal Code § 288(a), (c) (1). Thus, an aggravated assault plea may subject the client to a registration requirement in the State of California.

Colorado likewise has a very broad statute. It requires an individual to register within five business days of becoming a temporary or permanent resident of the state, if, among other things, the person has been convicted in Colorado or any other state of an offense involving sexual behavior (or an attempt, solicitation or conspiracy to commit such an offense), or if they are required to register in another state or jurisdiction for a sex offense. C.R.S.A. §§ 16-22-103, 16-22-108.

With regard to Florida, as you know, it is reasonably clear that under Florida's current version of Megan's Law, a plea to aggravated assault would not subject the client to registration in Florida since it is not included among the state's enumerated "sexual offender" offenses. See

Page 18 of 131

Ms. Lanna Belohlavek June 5, 2006 Page 4

F.S.A. §§ 943.0435, 784.021. However, the offense of sexual battery is on the list, as well as the charge of lewd and lascivious behavior, so there is no assurance that, in the future, a Florida prosecutor or court will not take the position that, where the aggravated assault is combined with what some states have labeled a "sexually motivated intent" registration is required.

Moreover, as you indicated at our meeting, there is no guarantee that the Florida legislature will not expand the category of persons subject to Megan's law, and expressly make persons convicted of aggravated assault subject to the law, especially where the felony the actor had the intent to commit is a sexual offense, and the victim is a minor. The trend today is towards expansion, not contraction, of these kinds of statutes, and as you noted, Florida will be no exception. See, e.g., "Sex Offenders; No More Escaping Registration," 36 McGeorge L. Rev 822 2005 (Over the last twenty years expanded registration requirements, enhanced penalties for failure to register, and public notification provisions have enlarged the scope of sex offender registration laws); see news articles of just this past week infra describing many of the proscriptions being adopted around the nation. And, the ex post facto clause stands as no significant bar. See v. Doe, 538 U.S. 84 (2003) (upholding Alaska Sex Offender Registration Act against a challenge that its application to persons whose offenses were committed prior to its enactment would violate the ex post facto clause). If this trend continues, as it likely will, the client will almost certainly be subject to sex offender registration.

Even if the client is not and will never be subject to registration requirements under Florida's laws, a plea to aggravated assault under the circumstances of this case could subject him to Megan's Law requirements in other jurisdictions. Thus, if the client pleads guilty to the proposed aggravated assault charge, there is a grave risk that under existing state and Virgin Islands law – quite apart from future expansion or expansive construction of those laws – he will be subject to sex offender registration requirements and/or criminal exposure for failure to register. There is an even graver risk still that there will be future expansion of the statutes or expansive construction of them that will mean he is covered or arguably so. See, e.g., Cherry Sex Offender Ordinance Upheld, Courier Post, June 1, 2006, at

http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060601/NEWS01/606010389/1 006;2 More States Move to Use GPS Tracking of Sex Offenders, Fox News, May 31, 2006, at http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,196455,00.html; Sex Offenders Sue City Over Park, Pools

<sup>2 This article discusses a decision handed down by a municipal court judge in New Jersey during the course of our meeting. That decision upheld a zoning restriction on sex offenders living within 2500 feet of schools, playgrounds, public libraries, or day care centers. While other jurisdictions' zoning laws currently restrict such individuals from living within 1000 feet of these institutions, were they to follow the lead of Cherry , New Jersey, the client would most certainly be faced with the added burdens of selling his residences and moving in order to be in compliance with the law.

Indeed, as you recognized during our meeting, many people who were advised by competent counsel to plead guilty to offenses when registration was not required have now been horrified to find themselves subjected to registration laws enacted or expanded after their guilty pleas, without any recourse. See, v. Doe,supra, 538 U.S. 84. Finally, although there is some risk that even a plea to a misdemeanor charge could trigger registration in some jurisdictions, our research suggests that this risk is considerably lower for a misdemeanor plea than for a felony plea.

IL Aggravated Assault is Generally Considered A Violent Felony And Does Not Apply to the Facts of This Case

Assault is generally considered an act of force. It "create[s] in the victims a well founded fear of imminent violence." Velasquez v. State 654 So. 2d 1227, 1228 (Fla.2d DCA 1995). The general public is certainly not aware of Florida's unique nuanced definition. Indeed, as you will agree, in common usage, aggravated assault, on its face sounds inherently violent. Thus, at the very least, most people will consider an aggravated assault charge, even of the "intent to commit a felony" variety, to be a violent crime. In this regard, undifferentiated aggravated assault is one of only four crimes listed in the FBI's Uniform Crime Report "violent crime" category.;

More importantly, as noted, this crime clearly does not reflect what allegedly occurred since there has been no suggestion that a threat of serous bodily harm was made or a deadly weapon used. In addition, most pleas are "downward" — the defendant agrees to waive his right to trial in return for the prosecution's offer of a downward departure in charging or sentencing. Further, in the typical case a plea involves crimes that bear a close resemblance to the underlying events. The facts herein, obviously do not support a charge of aggravated assault, thus a plea to same would be inappropriate.

The UCR divides its statistics into three major categories: violent crimes, property crimes, and hate crimes. "Violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault." "Violent Crime," Crime in the United States, 2004, at hnn://vAvw.tbi.eov/ucr/cius 04/offenses_reported/violent crime/index.html.

III. Since the Meeting on February 16, 2006 When Misdemeanor Charges Were Initially discussed, the State's Case has Gotten Considerably Weaker

At the February 16, 2006 meeting, you suggested the Office was investigating a felony and you indicated you would consider pleading it down to a misdemeanor. As you are aware, since then much has happened which makes the alleged case considerably weaker and undermines the credibility of the witnesses upon which it was based. Indeed as you already know the following information has come to light severely damaging the reliability of the witnesses: (i) _ background, including a history of theft, confessions and repeated denials of stealing from employers and customers, lying about her age, sexual promiscuity, and prostitution; (ii) _ boastful admission of drug use, underage drinking, sexual activity, shoplifting, exaggeration of her income (at least $250,000), representing herself naked on a website and as 17 years old, then 16, then 15, only changing it to her truthful age, coincidentally four days before the last scheduled grand jury. In addition, as you have acknowledged, she was found in an inappropriate place in Georgia after the police were called when she ran away from home. This is separate and apart from the Florida police report presented to you, detailing her being dropped off by the local drug dealer at 5:45 a.m., only two days after returning to West Palm Beach, and being described by the officer as clearly on drugs; and (iii) both of Saige's parents' criminal history of fraud.

In stark contrast to this is the fact that, as we indicated at the meeting, the client has passed both a rigorous lie detector test, conducted by the most highly qualified expert we could find, one whose reputation is beyond reproach, and provided you copies of two psycho-sexual evaluations prepared by experts that you have agreed are well-recognized and accepted by the State.

LAW OI?K(t OF GERALD 13. Lraroouirr, P.G.

Ms. Lanna Belohlavek June 5, 2006 Page 7

/1! Conclusion

Under the circumstances of this case a plea to felony aggravated assault is both unwarranted and presents a grave risk the client will be brandished a sex offender, bearing the attendant burdens inherent with that classification. In light of this, and the credibility issues presented by the complaining witnesses, combined with the client's two psycho-sexual evaluations and lie detector tests, we believe that at the very most, a misdemeanor plea to solicitation is appropriate.

On 11/24/05 at about 21:49 hours I went to 411 Court in reference to a suspicious person. I met with Court in reference to a who stated she has two juvenile daughters. Tonight she noticed they went across the street to a vacant house with some boys. When she went to check on them she caught the boys drinking alcohol. She knew the boys were juveniles so she took the alcohol (tequila) from them she said a couple of the boys ran off. Juvenile one got in his silver Mitsubishi and went to the end of the street. He then stopped infront of her house. The juvenile stated he wanted his tequila back and he would come back at midnight.

is concerned juvenile one might return and damage her guests vehicles. Mrs. asked her juveniles who the subject was and they were unfamiliar. I gave Mrs. a case card. I returned into service with no further incident. I informed morning watch of this address for an extra patrol for tonight only.

Narrative

While on patrol, I was dispatched to a missing person call at 411 Court. I arrived and made contact with the caller/mother of the missing juvenile female, [________]. She stated her juvenile daughter left yesterday for school, and had not returned. _______]. She had spoken with her daughter around 1900 and she was going to the high school basketball game. Later on that night, some of the juveniles's friends called the mother and informed her they had not seen the juvenile at the game.

When the juvenile didn't return this morning, said she became worried and started to contact some of her daughter's friends. They told her they heard she was handing hanging around with Mr. Byron Elrod in an area known as "The Cut" which is located off Old Donaldson and Highway 140. "The Cut" is a known drug area in the county. I completed a missing person's checklist and obtained a recent picture of the juvenile. I called Detective and informed her of the situation. The mother did not want a juvenile complaint filed. I issued I is a case card and asked her to call if she found any more information regarding her daughter. D/S Ballard and I left the residence and returned to service.

After patrolling Old Donaldson Rd and the Crissler Street area, we were unable to locate any additional information as to the whereabouts of the female. Around 1200, I received a telephone call from _______ stating that she had found her daughter, and she was located at Gregory Lane Apartments off Bells Ferry Rd. The mother told me a friend of the family was going to pick the female up, and escort her back to the parents house. I told ______ to call 911 when her daughter returned and a deputy would be sent out to check on the well being of the juvenile.

When the juvenile returned Sgt Thompson met with the juvenile and parents at the house. The Juvenile stated she had been drinking and had done some drugs last night, and that she had been scared to call her parents. She then went to a friends house located at Gregory Lane Apartments and spent the night.

Ms. Lanna Belohlavek Assistant State Attorney 401 North Dixie Highway West Palm Beach, FL 33401

Dear Lanna:

Guy has asked me to provide you with the research on why it makes a difference whether Mr. Epstein pleads "nolo contendere" or "guilty". As you can see from the enclosed statute, a plea of "nolo contendere" is not admissible as an "admission against interest" in a subsequent civil case. A plea of guilty – even a so-called "best interest" plea of guilty – is admissible. That is the only real legal difference. If you need anything further, please do not hesitate to call me or Guy.

Sincerely,

  1. You have agreed to allow Mr. Epstein to enter a Guilty Best Interest Plea. Additionally, you have agreed to review authority I provide concerning the effect a "guilty" plea has on a civil matter and in good faith consider allowing Mr. Epstein to plea "No Contest."

Regarding, the supervised contact, your letter refers to an 2) "approved" adult. In our meeting today, you did not mention that the supervisor had to be approved. I agree that the supervision must be by an adult, other than , with knowledge of the underlying facts. Additionally, I need to confirm that Mr. Epstein may be with his goddaughter without supervision.

  1. You agreed not to object to my selecting a duly licensed and -if approved experienced psychologist to conduct the evaluation.

I accept the provision for payment of the cost of investigation for the 4) Palm Beach Police Department as long as the cost is reasonable.

Recarey Detective Palm Beach Police Department 345 S. County Road Palm Beach, FL 33480

Re: Epstein matter

Dear Detective Recarey:

I am sending you this letter in response to the serious concern you raised at our meeting regarding an alleged claim that one of our investigators had misrepresented himself as a police officer and in fact had actually attempted to impersonate you. As I told you neither I nor my client would ever tolerate any such conduct on the part of our investigators. With that in mind, I immediately began an inquiry of our staff, and believe that the contemporaneous notes taken by our investigator, while attempting to interview

will provide the necessary explanation for your thoroughly justified consternation. It will also, I believe, provide a more troublesome and telling illustration of her character. At our meeting, you may recall, I also advised you that our investigation had discovered at least one of her web sites and I am enclosing some examples. You will note that she, herself, has chosen to go by the nickname of "pimp juice" and the site goes on to detail, including photos, her apparent fascination with marijuana. This will come as no surprise to you as I'm sure you are already aware of her recent Palm Beach arrest for both possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

The following raw notes were taken by investigators (one who suffers from a quite distinct speech impediment, making, therefore, a truly innocent claim of impersonation virtually impossible). Both of them have many years experience in conducting defense investigations and debriefing witnesses. They are both well versed in the law and extremely sensitive to any potential allegations of wrongdoing especially from witnesses who may have their own agendas. In this instance, they were instructed to take statement verbatim because we feared that she, an accomplished drama student, might try to mislead them as successfully as she had misled others. They were instructed to ask detailed questions to further elucidate her previous pronouncements regarding the extreme lengths she would go to as she put it "to be rich, no, I mean really, really rich". But as you will read, they never got a chance to ask even a single question, and could not for a moment be thought of, as attempting to misrepresent themselves as police officers. In fact even though, they are both well prepared and seasoned investigators, they were quite shocked at the overwhelming, non-stop barrage of profanity being hurled at them at a furious pace and volume from what initially appeared

only to be a young woman of slight build and soft demeanor. The following is an excerpt from the investigator's report detailing her extremely short but none the less pungent statements;

"11.21.2005, my partner, Steve Kiraly, and I traveled to Orange Park (Jacksonville), Florida, in order to attempt to interview The purpose of having two people present was to act as witnesses as to whatever might have been said by """ during the course of our interview.

I told her that we would like to speak with She said there was no there. I said there must be because her Jeep was parked out front. She then said, "I'm sorry, you mean "" and I said yes. then came to the door. The following conversation took place.

As you can gather from this, we believe her to be the source of your concern.

Our other, but we believe, less likely alternative source for the potential misunderstanding could be a close friend of Miss ______ named ______ who goes by the more outlandish self chosen moniker and complete web name of "______ Fucking _____", whose web page I also enclose.

In the event that the source of the allegation is neither of the two women mentioned above, if you would provide me with the name of the person, or persons, making the claim, I will check with the relevant investigators and follow through until we are satisfied that we have gotten to the bottom of this matter.

I trust the information provided in this letter is helpful to you as we all try to bring this difficult period to a close.

Re: Jeff Epstein Third Party Attorney Fee Payment

Dear Ms. Belohlavek:

As you know I represent Mr. Jeff Epstein. Mr. Epstein's house manager, Yanush Banasiak, was asked to speak with your office regarding the matter that I represent Mr. Epstein on. In anticipation of Mr. Banasiak's meeting with your office he decided to retain legal counsel. Yesterday, he met with and retained, attorney Michael Salnick, who will be attending Mr. Banasiak's statement in your office today at 1:30 p.m.

Since your questioning of Mr. Banasiak concerns information that he may have that arises out of his employment with Mr. Epstein, Mr. Epstein will be paying Mr. Banasiak's attorneys fees. I felt it important to notify you of this third party attorney fee payment structure and confirm that you have no objection. Mr. Epstein would like to wire the payment for Mr. Salnick's representation to Mr. Salnick as soon as possible. Therefore, I would appreciate your getting back to me today on this issue.

Very truly yours.

We saw one or two
14 young ones in the last year.

All the time it was in his room.
Sometimes

07/26/17 Page 89 of 131 Pudic Records Request No.: 17-295

Page 10 1 it was in the balcony of his quarters. His room has a 2 wraparound balcony facing the pool. So the massages were 3 in the balcony outside in the sun, or inside in his 4 bathroom or her bathroom. S Q. Would you set up the room for the massages? 6 A. Many times. Yes, he will tell me, Set up 7 the room inside my bathroom or in the bedroom or in 8 Elaine's bathroom, or outside on the balcony. And I 9 would go and set up or my wife would go and set up the 10 table. 11 We had a table in every room of the house, 12 the massage tables, for the different guests. Because 13 not only he got massages, all the other guests got 14 massages too. So we have a table -- massage table in 15 basically every room, guest room. 16 0.

Page 11 1 in the house -- and then there's another door going into 2 his room. So it was a long corridor. So everything was 3 closed and nobody saw anything. 4 Q. Would you clean up after? 5 A. Once in a while, yes, I did. Most of the 6 times I did. I did the cleanup. 7 Q. Did it appear as if there was going to be 8 more than one massage going on in the room? 9 A. More than one massage? I don't know. It 10 was massages. There was massages, because it was a hot 11 oil, and it was -- you know this vibrator, the neck 12 vibrators with the long handles. And towels, a lot of 13 towels. We used a lot of towels in the house. Used like 14 maybe 40, 50 towels a day, because every time he go in 15 into the pool, it was two or three towels. Everything 16 had to be cleaned up. I went most of the time to pick up 17 the room and get it ready. 18 Q. Did it ever appear to you that more went on 19 in the room other than a massage? 20 A. I just imagine. I never saw anything. But 21 I imagine there was more than I never saw anything 22 because it was closed doors. It was never done outside. 23 Q. Based on the cleanup? 24 A. Based on the cleanup -- at the end, I 25 cannot say there was. At the end, it was a few times

You make that decision.
16 And he says, If you hire a lawyer, you make
17 that decision.
18 And we feel that was important for us.
I
19 don't want to be involved with this thing.

He suggested that.

Page 19 1 our meeting? 2 A. No, no. 3 Q. Were you to have any contact with him at 4 any time after our meeting? 5 A. If I will have a contact? I have no reason 6 for it. I have no reason to call Jeffrey or anybody 7 else. This is over, I hope. 8 Q. Well, Mr. Alessi, this is basically an 9 ongoing investigation, so obviously anything that we 10 discuss hopefully will stay between us. Because it is 11 still ongoing, I wouldn't want this out until the 12 investigation is complete. 13 A. It's not going anywhere. Even my kids 14 don't know it. 15 Q. He contacted you after you called 16 Mr. Epstein? 17 A. Yes. 18 When I call him and I said, Jeffrey, what's 19 going on? 20 He said, John, I don't know what's going 21 on. There's an investigation against me. 22 So then I said, Whew, thank God. I don't 23 know what's happening. 24 And then he says, I have an investigator 25 that is investigating, the same thing the police

6 it was Virginia.
It was how many?
Virginia, Lana.
7 It was also a young girl, but she was not a
8 massage therapist.
She came to the house as a friend, I
9 think.
I don't think she was a massage therapist.
Her
10 name was as a matter of fact, she's in a soap opera
11 now, she's a star.
Just give me a minute.
12 Nadya Jorlin, J-O-R-L-I-N.
13 There also were men masseuses.
14 Q.
There were men too?
15 A.
A few.
Not that many.
A
There were men.
16 few.
I can't remember.
17 Allison.
There was an Allison.
There was
18 a Dina.
I think every name girls' names.
In
19 eleven years, I cannot remember.
20 That's fine.
Q.
21 A.
There were girls coming and going.
There
22 were girls traveling with him as massage therapists.
23 They would travel with him all over the world, because he
24 was in the plane, he got massages on the plane,
25 because I know because I used to supply the oils and

Page22 1 the towels for the plane. 2 Q. Would you clean his plane too? 3 A. No, no. 4 Q. Did you ever travel with him anywhere? 5 A. No, no. 6 Q. When he went to New York or Arizona or his 7 private island? 8 A. I've been on his island. I've been as a 9 guest, as a vacation. We just took vacations, and I went 10 to his island in the Caribbean. And I've been in New 11 Mexico. I've been at his house in London. But not as a 12 worker, just vacation. 13 Q. As a vacation? 14 A. Uh-huh. 15 We went to New Mexico for -- it was kind of 16 a symposium about how to clean homes. It was this lady 17 who make -- teach all the house people, housemen, and 18 they invited us to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to teach us how 19 to clean homes. That was kind of stupid. 20 Q. How he wanted it to be cleaned? 21 A. Yes. We didn't get that much. 22 Q. Can you think of anything that I haven't 23 asked you that might be relevant to this? 24 A. I can't think of anything. Basically it's 25 the same questions that the other investigator asked me.

I can't think of stuff I 6 did last week. 7 A. It's been a long time. 8 Q. If by any chance you are contacted again by 9 his investigator again for any more questions or anything 10 or any packages that he may deliver to you -- 11 A. They have to go to Mr. Murrell. 12 Q. I was going to say, have him contact your 13 attorney. 14 MR. MURRELL: Packages? Are we expecting a 15 delivery of something? 16 DET. RECAREY: No. I'm just saying -- 17 MR. MURRELL: Okay. Just making sure there 18 wasn't something I didn't know about. 19 DET. RECAREY: I.e., gifts, et cetera. 20 That kind of thing. 21 THE WITNESS: No. 22 DET.
