+ **Subject:** Issue raised by Epstein's defense team
10
+
11
+ On Friday, Mr. Epstein's defense team argued for the first time that the state charge contained in the Non-Prosecution Agreement does not apply to the facts of his case. As an ethical matter, the Office does not want a defendant to plead guilty to a crime that he did not commit; however, we are not experts in the interpretation of the Florida Criminal Code, so we look to you for guidance. To assist, I have listed the statute below and summarize the arguments of Mr. Epstein's attorneys. I also have included the factual proffer that Ms. Belohlavek requested so you can determine whether, in your opinion, there is a sufficient factual basis for a plea.
12
+
13
+ Fl. Stat. 796.03 states: "A person who procures for prostitution, or causes to be prostituted, any person who is under the age of 18 years commits a felony of the second degree . . ."
14
+
15
+ Fl. Stat. 777.011 states: "Whoever commits any criminal offense against the state, whether felony or misdemeanor, or aids, abets, counsels, hires, or otherwise procures such offense to be committed, and such offense is committed or is attempted to be committed, is a principal in the first degree and may be charged, convicted, and punished as such, whether he or she is or is not actually or constructively present at the commission of such offense."
16
+
17
+ Mr. Epstein's counsel state that Section 796.03 applies only to procuring a minor to engage in a sex act with a third party, not with the defendant himself, relying on Kobel v. State, 745 So.2d 979, 982 (Fla. 4{sup}`th` DCA 1999), and Register v. State, 715 So.2d 274, 278 (Fla. 1{sup}`st` DCA 1998). They also assert that a commercial motive must be shown.
18
+
19
+ Please consider whether the following facts are sufficient to prove a violation of Section 796.03, when read in conjunction with Section 777.011:
20
+
21
+ From at least as early as 2001 through October 2005, the defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, procured at least 30 identified minor females between the ages of 14 and 17 in Palm Beach County to come to his home in Palm Beach to engage in sexual conduct in exchange for money. In particular, the defendant would pay females, including minors, \$200 to recruit other females, including minors, to come to his house to engage in sexual activity. The minors who were procured would receive between \$200 and \$1,000 depending upon the type of sexual activity that they engaged in. Several victims have stated that, when they were unwilling to engage in sexual activity with the defendant, the defendant would ask them to bring other girls instead, and promised to pay them \$200 for each girl whom they brought. Mr. Epstein would regularly ask his recruiters to find new girls for him because he wanted "fresh faces."
22
+
23
+ In some instances, the defendant did not know the correct age of the minor female who was procured as a prostitute, but in more than half of the instances he did. For example, the defendant purchased gifts for some girls for their 18th birthdays, promised to send them on trips when they turned 18, talked with them about activities at their high schools; and provided transportation for those who could not drive.
24
+
25
+ The sexual activity the defendant engaged in with the minor females included: requiring minor females to perform topless or nude massages while the defendant masturbated himself; fondling the breasts and vaginas of the minor females; digital penetration of the vaginas of minors; the use of a massaging device on the vaginas of minors; requiring a minor female to pose for nude photographs; requiring minor females to watch others (including the defendant) engage in sexual intercourse; requiring minor females to fondle the breasts of the defendant's adult female companion; performing oral sex on minor females; requiring minor females to perform oral sex on the defendant's adult female companion; and sexual intercourse with minor females. There are four minor females who engaged in vaginal intercourse with the defendant in exchange for money. None of the minor females who was brought to Mr. Epstein's house had ever engaged in prostitution prior to being procured by one of Mr. Epstein's recruiters.

48
+ Dear Lanna:
49
+
50
+ I was just informed that a case disposition conference has been set in the Epstein case on January 7, 2008. Our agreement with Mr. Epstein contemplated a simultaneous plea and sentencing for October (or, as we later agreed, November), followed by Mr. Epstein self-surrendering to begin serving his sentence not later than January 4, 2008. From your last e-mail, it appeared that the judge was under the impression that Mr. Epstein could not be sentenced before January 2008. We are hoping that Judge McSorley would consider conducting the simultaneous plea and sentencing some time before January 4, 2008, so that Mr. Epstein can comply with the terms of our agreement and begin serving his sentence on January 4, 2008.
51
+
52
+ I also would appreciate it if you could send me a copy of the plea agreement, the Information that you plan to file (if it hasn't been filed already), and any factual proffer or other documents related to the plea. Please also let me know the date and time of the plea and sentencing so that someone from our office can attend and insure Mr. Epstein's compliance with the terms of his federal non-prosecution agreement.
53
+
54
+ If you need any information regarding the federal investigation, or if you have any questions about the terms of the federal non-prosecution agreement, please do not hesitate to contact me at the number below or Marie in the West Palm Beach office.

79
+ Good evening. I am the ASA with the Epstein case in Palm Beach County. The negotiated settlement is a definite go. A difficulty arose last week at a conference with the judge on the case. She wants the plea and sentence to occur concurrently; not a plea with a sentencing at a later date. Therefore, the case was set for the first week of January, but the plea and sentence will definitely occur before the January 4th date that was agreed on by all for the sentencing.

+ Mr. Epstein's counsel state that Section 796.03 applies only to rocuring a minor to engage in a sex act with a third party, not with the defendant himself, relying on Kobel 745 So.2d 979, 982 (Fla. 4a' DCA 1999), and Register v. State. 715 So.2d 274. 278 (Fla. DCA 1998). They also assert that a commercial motive must be shown. Please consider whether the following facts are sufficient to prove a violation of Section 796.03, when read in conjunction with Section 777.011.
104
+
105
+ From at least as early as 2001 through October 2005, the defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, procured at least 30 identified minor females between the ages of 14 and 17 in Palm Beach County to come to his home in Palm Beach to engage in sexual conduct in exchange for money. In particular, the defendant would pay females, including minors, \$200 to recruit other females, including minors, to come to his house to engage in sexual activity. The minors who were procured would receive between \$200 and \$1,000 depending upon the type of sexual activity that they engaged in. Several victims have stated that, when they were unwilling to engage in sexual activity with the defendant, the defendant would ask them to bring other girls instead, and promised to pay them \$200 for each girl whom they brought. Mr. Epstein would regularly ask his recruiters to find new girls for him because he wanted "fresh faces."
106
+
107
+ In some instances, the defendant did not know the correct age of the minor female who was procured as a prostitute, but in more than half of the instances he did. For example, the defendant purchased gifts for some girls for their 18th birthdays, promised to send them on trips when they turned 18, talked with them about activities at their high schools; and provided transportation for those who could not drive.
108
+
109
+ The sexual activity the defendant engaged in with the minor females included: requiring minor females to perform topless or nude massages while the defendant masturbated himself; fondling the breasts and vaginas of the minor females; digital penetration of the vaginas of minors; the use of a massaging device on the vaginas of minors; requiring a minor female to pose for nude photographs; requiring minor females to watch others (including the defendant) engage in sexual intercourse; requiring minor females to fondle the breasts of the defendant's adult female companion; performing oral sex on minor females; requiring minor females to perform oral sex on the defendant's adult female companion; and sexual intercourse with minor females. There are four minor females who engaged in vaginal intercourse with the defendant in exchange for money. None of the minor females who was brought to Mr. Epstein's house had ever engaged in prostitution prior to being procured by one of Mr. Epstein's recruiters.

+ Dear Lanna:
128
+
129
+ I was just informed that a case disposition conference has been set in the Epstein case on January 7, 2008. Our agreement with Mr. Epstein contemplated a simultaneous plea and sentencing for October (or, as we later agreed, November), followed by Mr. Epstein self-surrendering to begin serving his sentence not later than January 4, 2008. From your last e-mail, it appeared that the judge was under the impression that Mr. Epstein could not be sentenced before January 2008. We are hoping that Judge McSorley would consider conducting the simultaneous plea and sentencing some time before January 4, 2008, so that Mr. Epstein can comply with the terms of our agreement and begin serving his sentence on January 4, 2008.
130
+
131
+ I also would appreciate it if you could send me a copy of the plea agreement, the Information that you plan to file (if it hasn't been filed already), and any factual proffer or other documents related to the plea. Please also let me know the date and time of the plea and sentencing so that someone from our office can attend and insure Mr. Epstein's compliance with the terms of his federal non-prosecution agreement.
132
+
133
+ If you need any information regarding the federal investigation, or if you have any questions about the terms of the federal non-prosecution agreement, please do not hesitate to contact me at the number below or Marie in the West Palm Beach office.

151
+ Good evening. I am the ASA with the Epstein case in Palm Beach County. The negotiated settlement is a definite go. A difficulty arose last week at a conference with the judge on the case. She wants the plea and sentence to occur concurrently; not a plea with a sentencing at a late? date. Therefore, the case was set for the first week of January, but the plea and sentence will definitely occur before the January 4th date that was agreed on by all for the sentencing.
152

153

+ Hi Jeff—Only one obsessive thought last night. When you talk to Lanna, you might want to convince her that (assuming she agrees wi h is) the evidence in the state case is enough to support the charge, especially the taped statement of and others who talked about recruiting other girls. I definitely do not want Epstein's camp to use is as an excuse to view all of our evidence, then withdraw from the plea, and then go to trial.

+ It was a pleasure meeting you on Friday, as well as the agents. Let's plan for me to be in Florida on the 23i0 and 24th and I will get the remaining 302s at that time. As for meeting with the girls. I am available the entire week of the 28th and will leave it to the agents to make arrangements with the girls and let me know when to come down.
6

7
+ From what I could tell during the meeting on Friday, I am guessing that you have already done everything that we need to do and obtained whatever evidence that we need to have. It's probably just a matter of doubling back to make sure that everything is still 'fresh' and. in this case, making sure that things have not begun to vanish. I will be able to speak more definitively once I've made a bigger dent in the materials that you sent back with me.

Except for a lunchtime dental appointment on Tuesday the 22thl, I will be around all week, and I will keep my schedule open as much as possible.

16

17
+ I will ask them to talk with all of the girls and to do more in-depth interviews with those victims for whom they only did short interviews before and to update the evidence summary chart for all of the victims. Speaking with Virginia in Australia and the girls in New York are the next priorities. We also need to "audit" the grand jury responses to see what it missing.
18

19
+ I will start working on revising the indictment taking into account your suggestions and ■ suggestions. 1 also want to do an application to get the tax returns for all of the defendants, since pstein's corporations have refused to obey the grand jury subpoenas.

+ Hi Drew - I hear that you are coming into the fray. I haven't heard fro ne from your office yet about a meeting. I just wanted to remind you that Braden and I talked about the case a few times and she was a great help.
438

439
+ I am hoping to get all the evidence back from tomorrow, so I will have everything back up here in West Palm by Friday morning. I am meeting with the agents and group supervisor on Friday afternoon for a strategy session. Any chance my CEOS colleague can participate? At least by phone?

19

20
+ One girl broke down sobbing so that we had to stop the interview twice within a 20 minute span. She regained her composure enough to continue a short time, but she said that she was having nightmares about Epstein coming after her and she started to break down again, so we stopped the interview.
21

22
+ The second girl, who has a baby girl of her own, told us that she was very upset about the 18 month deal she had read about in the paper. She said that 18 months was nothing and that she had heard that the girls could get restitution, but she would rather not get any money and have Epstein spend a significant time in jail.
23

+ The FBI's victim-witness coordinator attended and she has arranged for counseling for several of the girls.

+ Hi I won't even tell you about how today is starting off badly on this case (politics, of course, not facts . ut, in any event, the word is that CEOS is going to undertake an "independent review" of the case and meet with Epstein's attorneys some time next week. My supervisor is finishing the review of the indictment package and I know she caught some typos. When I finish those revisions, I will e-mail to you the entire indictment package, and you can find out what Drew wants to look at. I have one real concern, however. As you know, there are several girls that are still unknown to the defense. I want to avoid si possibility that those names might be disclosed. Should I redact the names of all of the girls from the pros memos that I send to you?

+ Jay,
14

15
+ The Section Chief of DOJ's Child Exploitation Obscenity Section (CEOS) notified me today that he will review the matter involving your client Jeffrey Epstein. The Section Chief has indicated that he is ready to proceed immediately, and I understand you are in the process of providing him this week with a summary of issues to be reviewed, and expect to meet with him next week.
16
+
17
+ The Section Chief also indicated that you would be calling this Office regarding the upcoming March 3, 2008 court date in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, in and for Palm Beach County. As you know, the Agreement entered into by your client originally provided that the United States
18
+
19
+ Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida (this Office) would defer prosecution if your client pled guilty to enumerated state charges by October 26, 2007. Since then, that date has been postponed for a number of reasons. At this juncture, it would not be reasonable to keep the current March 3'd date as a deadline for compliance with the Agreement. That said, this Office is very concerned about additional delays. Despite this concern, I want to assure you that if counsel for Mr. Epstein meets with CEOS next week (the week of March 3rd), this Office will extend the time for compliance with the Agreement to provide CEOS time to engage in a thorough review.
20
+
21
+ It goes without saying that in the event that CEOS decides that a federal prosecution should not be undertaken against Mr. Epstein, this Office will close its investigation. However, should CEOS disagree with Mr. Epstein's position, Mr. Epstein shall have one week to abide by the terms and conditions of the September 24, 2007 Agreement as amended by letter from United States Attorney Acosta to Jay Lefkowitz.

19
+ Hi all - I wanted to update you on a couple of new developments in the Epstein case. First, Jeff Herman is supposed to give a press conference today announcing the filing of a third lawsuit against Epstein. That case also involves a victim whom we are no longer referring to in the indictment [Drew - tell that to the defense.] Herman seems to have latched onto the group which, as discussed in my third addendum to the pros memo, we ave a rea y decided to forego for the most part.
20
+
21
+ Drew - Since I am not certain of the scope of your meeting, I do not know how critical it is for you to see the new facts developed in the supplemental pros memos (you reviewed the initial pros memo from May of last year). If you would like the supplements, please let me know. The legal theories have remained the same.
22
+
23
+ I also wanted to call to everyone's attention the three-year statute of limitations in Florida for the state solicitation offenses. The statute will run for all the victims this summer. Once it runs we cannot insist on a state court plea to a new charge. It also means that the state cannot charge the crimes related to the victims discovered after the initial investigation. We have asked the Palm Beach Police Department to forego presenting thdse charges for state prosecution in deference to our prosecution. If we do not intend to go forward, it is imperative that we communicate that to the Police Department as soon as possible so they can present those victims for state prosecution.
24
+
25
+ I have reserved time with the grand jury on the 18th. I had hoped to present the indictment at that time, but in light of IIIMMOIcommunication with I will push it off until the 25th. I would still like to start the presentation on the 18th so we aren't accused of rushing the grand jury. So; I hope that the final indictment packet will be approved by that date.

+ Thank you for the update. On the statute of limitations, it doesn't matter for the pending charges because they were indicted in time, it just matters to adding new charges.
130

131

132

133
+ 1. 1. Copy of [REDACTED] deposition transcript
134

137

138

+ And maybe you can ask him why there will be a press conference?

+ Eli — Don't worry, I have decided to just wait to see your result. I think the state charges don't fit the crime anyw y, and I have the tapes of the grand jury presentation, where the Assistant State Attorney crossexamined the victims instead of simply presenting the case. (The defense doesn't know that we have those tapes.) The State's handling of the case was one of the reasons why we looked into this in the first place.

+ As I mentioned earlier, I will be out next week. Starting on late Tuesday or Wednesday, I should be able to check e-mail, so feel free to contact me that way. My cell phone is 561 601-2301, and you can reach Nesbitt on her cell phone at 954 553-3471.

17
+ I I i Here is the info that I have. Jeopardy attaches at the start of the presentation of evidence at trial, so that show not be an issue.
18

19
+ The bigger problem is the statute of limitations. A defendant can waive his right to challenge the statute under Florida law. but I don't think that Epstein will be willing to do so.
20
+
21
+ At this point he also could demand a speedy trial. Once he has done so, if the trial is not held very quickly. he can move for "discharge." Once -discharged." Epstein cannot be prosecuted on the crime charged or any other crimes that could have been charged as a result of the same conduct or criminal episode. The State cannot avoid this bar by filing a "Nolle Prosequi" and then trying to re-file the same or different charges based on the same conduct or criminal episode.

34
+ Hi [REDACTED] – The state indictment is related to two girls. One of those girls is included in the federal indictment, the other is not. The state indictment charges solicitation of adult prostitution, it does not charge any child exploitation offense, despite the fact that, under Florida law, neither lack of knowledge of age nor affirmative misrepresentation of age by the victim is a defense.
35
+
36
+ The victim from the state case who is referenced in the federal indictment told Epstein her true age and he engaged in full sexual intercourse with her a few days shy of her 18{sup}`th` birthday. For that birthday, he gave her a series of gifts, including lingerie. The other 18 girls named in the current indictment are not part of the state indictment.
37
+
38
+ The state case currently has a trial date set for July. Before we got involved, the police were told that Epstein was going to plead to a misdemeanor and get no jail time. (That is one of the reasons why they asked the FBI to step in.) Since the federal investigation began, Epstein's counsel have continued the case repeatedly on the basis that they cannot resolve that case until the federal case is resolved. As part of the non-prosecution agreement that the Office put together with Epstein, the federal case was supposed to be resolved if Epstein agreed to three main terms: (1) he had to plead to a state offense for which sex offender registration was required, specifically, the procurement of minors to engage in prostitution; (2) he had to agree to an 18-month term of incarceration; and (3) he had to agree to pay restitution and damages to the victims. After the agreement was signed, he then tried to escape all three requirements.
39
+
40
+ He objected to pleading to the state charge, claiming that the facts did not apply, and asked to plead to a non-registrable offense instead. When we responded that there were four other registrable offenses where the facts certainly fit, those were rejected because (1) they required registration and (2) the state sentencing guidelines for those offenses were too high.
41
+
42
+ He tried to arrange to get out on work release, which would allow him to "work" anywhere he liked during the day and sleep in a halfway house, rather than a jail, at night. When he learned that sex offenders
43
+
44
+ weren't allowed to be a part of the work release program, he started complaining about the jail time. He now wants to get a "suspended sentence" and/or home confinement, instead.
45
+
46
+ He complained that he should be able to fully litigate the issues of liability and damages with regard to the third term of the agreement, despite his agreement directly to the contrary.
47
+
48
+ With respect to the current status of the state case, other than the new trial date, all that I know is that Epstein is now subpoenaing victims for depositions who are not included in the state indictment. (Under Florida law, defense counsel are allowed to depose witnesses, including victims, prior to trial.) He seems to be trying to use that process to get information about the federal investigation. I do not know whether Epstein's misdemeanor deal is back on the table because the defense demanded that we have no contact with the State Attorney's Office, so I haven't spoken with the ASA in over 6 months.
49
+
50
+ I wish I had more information to give you. If you would like me to reach out to either the local detective on the state case or the Assistant State Attorney, please let me know. Or, if you would like their contact info, I can forward that to you, too.
51

186
+ Ili Here is the info that I have. Jeopardy attaches at the start of the presentation of evidence at trial. so that should not be an issue.
187
+
188
+ The bigger problem is the statute of limitations. A defendant can waive his right to challenge the statute under Florida law. but I don't think that Epstein will be willing to do so.
189
+
190
+ At this point he also could demand a spee4' trial. Once he has done so, if the trial is not held very quickly. he can move for "discharge." Once -discharged," Epstein cannot be prosecuted on the crime charged or any other crimes that could have been charged as a result of the same conduct or criminal episode. The State cannot avoid this bar by filing a "Nolle Prosequi" and then trying to re-file the same or different charges based on the same conduct or criminal episode.

217
+ Hi — The state indictment is related to two girls. One of those girls is included in the federal indic c . e other is not. The state indictment charges solicitation of adult prostitution, it does not charge any child exploitation offense, despite the fact that, under Florida law, neither lack of knowledge of age nor affirmative misrepresentation of age by the victim is a defense.
218
+
219
+ The victim from the state case who is referenced in the federal indictment told Epstein her true age and he engaged in full sexual intercourse with her a few days shy of her 18th birthday. For that birthday, he gave her a series of gifts, including lingerie. The other 18 girls named in the current indictment are not part of the state indictment.
220
+
221
+ The state case currently has a trial date set for July. Before we got involved, the police were told that Epstein was going to plead to a misdemeanor and get no jail time. (That is one of the reasons why they asked the FBI to step in.) Since the federal investigation began, Epstein's counsel have continued the case repeatedly on the basis that they cannot resolve that case until the federal case is resolved. As part of the non-prosecution agreement that the Office put together with Epstein, the federal case was supposed to be resolved if Epstein agreed to three main terms: (I) he had to plead to a state offense for which sex offender registration was required, specifically, the procurement of minors to engage in prostitution; (2) he had to agree to an I8-month term of incarceration; and (3) he had to agree to pay restitution and damages to the victims. After the agreement was signed, he then tried to escape all three requirements.
222
+
223
+ He objected to pleading to the state charge, claiming that the facts did not apply, and asked to plead to a non-registrable offense instead. When we responded that there were four other registrable offenses where the facts certainly fit, those were rejected because (I ) they required registration and (2) the state sentencing guidelines for those offenses were too high.
224
+
225
+ He tried to arrange to get out on work release, which would allow him to "work" anywhere he liked during the day and sleep in a halfway house, rather than a jail, at night. When he learned that sex offenders weren't allowed to be a pan of the work release program, he started complaining about the jail time. He now wants to get a "suspended sentence" and/or home confinement, instead.
226
+
227
+ He complained that he should be able to fully litigate the issues of liability and damages with regard to the third term of the agreement, despite his agreement directly to the contrary.
228
+
229
+ With respect to the current status of the state case, other than the new trial date, all that I know is that Epstein is now subpoenaing victims for depositions who are not included in the state indictment. (Under Florida law, defense counsel are allowed to depose witnesses, including victims, prior to trial.) He seems to be trying to use that process to get information about the federal investigation. I do not know whether Epstein's misdemeanor deal is back on the table because the defense demanded that we have no contact with the State Attorney's Office, so I haven't spoken with the ASA in over 6 months.
230
+
231
+ I wish I had more information to give you. If you would like me to reach out to either the local detective on the state case or the Assistant State Attorney, please let me know. Or, if you would like their contact info, I can forward that to you, too.
232

+ III — The state indictment is related to two girls. One of those girls is included in the federal ind . e other is not. The state indictment charges solicitation of adult prostitution, it does not charge any child exploitation offense, despite the fact that, under Florida law, neither lack of knowledge of age nor affirmative misrepresentation of age by the victim is a defense.
477
+
478
+ The victim from the state case who is referenced in the federal indictment told Epstein her true age and he engaged in full sexual intercourse with her a few days shy of her lit birthday. For that birthday, he gave her a series of gifts, including lingerie. The other 18 girls named in the current indictment are not part of the state indictment.
479
+
480
+ The state case currently has a trial date set for July. Before we got involved, the police were told that Epstein was going to plead to a misdemeanor and get no jail time. (That is one of the reasons why they asked the FBI to step in.) Since the federal investigation began, Epstein's counsel have continued the case repeatedly on the basis that they cannot resolve that case until the federal case is resolved. As part of the non-prosecution agreement that the Office put together with Epstein, the federal case was supposed to be resolved if Epstein agreed to three main terms: (I) he had to plead to a state offense for which sex offender registration was required, specifically, the procurement of minors to engage in prostitution; (2) he had to agree to an I8-month term of incarceration; and (3) he had to agree to pay restitution and damages to the victims. After the agreement was signed, he then tried to escape all three requirements.
481
+
482
+ He objected to pleading to the state charge, claiming that the facts did not apply, and asked to plead to a non-registrable offense instead. When we responded that there were four other registrable offenses where the facts certainly fit, those were rejected because (I) they required registration and (2) the state sentencing guidelines for those offenses were too high.
483
+
484
+ He tried to arrange to get out on work release, which would allow him to "work" anywhere he liked during the day and sleep in a halfway house, rather than a jail, at night. When he learned that sex offenders weren't allowed to be a part of the work release program, he started complaining about the jail time. He now wants to get a "suspended sentence" and/or home confinement, instead.
485
+
486
+ He complained that he should be able to fully litigate the issues of liability and damages with regard to the third term of the agreement. despite his agreement directly to the contrary.
487
+
488
+ With respect to the current status of the state case, other than the new trial date, all that I know is that Epstein is now subpoenaing victims for depositions who are not included in the state indictment. (Under Florida law, defense counsel are allowed to depose witnesses, including victims, prior to trial.) He seems to be trying to use that process to get information about the federal investigation. I do not know whether Epstein's misdemeanor deal is back on the table because the defense demanded that we have no contact with the State Attorney's Office, so I haven't spoken with the ASA in over 6 months.
489

490

+ Hi Drew — Sorry to bother you. I know you had mentioned that you might have some questions for me after your meeting. I am going to be out most of the day tomorrow and then back on Friday and then I will be out for a week, so I wanted to get stuff to you before I leave. Do you need anything from me or the investigators?

79

80
+ Hi Drew — FYI — There was an article in Sunday's Palm Beach Post about Epstein's state case. Epstein's attorney is quoted as saying that Epstein is being "treated more harshly because he is wealthy."
81
+
82
+ I am leaving on a three-week vacation in around 5 weeks, and I wanted to have the case at least past the discovery phase by the time I left, so I would really like to present the indictment to the grand jury a week from tomorrow (since Jeff promised them a week from the time of your decision). Has the DAAG made a decision? Any chance it will happen today?
83

84

+ Hi Jeff — I like it. especially all of the quotes of their language. I just changed a few spacing issues, but I wanted to leave the substantive edits up to you.
16
+
17
+ - I. In your listing of attorneys, I didn't know if you wanted to add Mr. Starr's name up there (I know it is mentioned later), as well as adding "former U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis, and noted criminal defense attorneys Roy Black and Marty Weinberg (I need to check on his name)"
18
+ - 2. Under "The Negotiation Phase," you say that one of the options Epstein was presented with was a Rule I I plea to a federal charge, but that isn't correct. At that time, Alex was unwilling to do a Rule I I plea, so we were left with trying to find federal charges that he could plead to that resulted in the agreed imprisonment term. Maybe write: "In order to achieve this result, the parties considered two alternatives, a plea to federal charges that limited Epstein's sentencing exposure, or, as suggested by you, a plea to state charges encompassing Epstein's conduct." [Much later. Alex changed his mind, but by that time, Epstein's crew was on the "he didn't do anything wrong" bandwagon.)
19
+ - 3. Under "Delay," you may want to quote the language of the agreement. which clearly DID NOT contemplate a staggered plea and sentencing. [The true reason why they didn't plead on the November date was because the judge would have remanded him on that date, rather than let him stay out until January. Quite simply, this was not our problem, we have always maintained that the state court judge
20
+
21
+ should do her own thing. so it wasn't a legitimate reason for further delay, but it essentially would have eliminated Epstein's plan to never spend a day in jail.)
22
+
23
+ - 4. In your conclusion, you may want to make one specific term explicit: "Therefore, as I proposed in my email to you on February 25, 2008, you shall have until , to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including plea, sentence, and incarceration, as modified by the USA's December 19'h letter to Ms. Sanchez.-
24
+ - 5. Not substantive, but I feel the need to defend my "grammar honor" so I know that you, Andy, and Alex (as well as defense counsel) all think that I have made up the word "registrable," but, according to The Oxford American Dictionary, the adjective form of "register" is "registrable."

+ Hi karen. Lucky you. You get to be the contact person re epstein while I am gone. I just talked to Jeff and bob. They are getting ready to send out the letter to lefkowitz regarding the plea deal. The letter tells epstein's people to communicate only with you and me. I asked IPPOwto call ME and tell her what is going on. So she can lose her mind with him. I am sure that you enjoyed reading lefkowitz's email where he refers to our last call with him and starr as alex shunting them off to members of alex's staff. Lovely

+
20
+ Two alleged victims of Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse have filed court papers seeking to unseal an agreement under which federal prosecutors agreed not to pursue federal charges against Epstein.
21
+
22
+ The deferred prosecution agreement, reached between the U.S. Attorney's Office and Epstein's lawyers before he pleaded guilty to state felony charges, is under seal in Epstein's state criminal case.
23
+
24
+ Epstein, 55 is serving 18 months in jail in the state case. He pleaded guilty June 30 to two felony counts: soliciting prostitution and procuring a person under 18 for prostitution.
25
+
26
+ Under the agreement, federal prosecutors agreed to defer any prosecution on federal charges until 90 days after Epstein completes all requirements of his sentence. If he abides by all court
27
+
28
+ Aside from the criminal case, there are nine federal and six state lawsuits pending against the Manhattan money manager. All contain similar allegations: Epstein, through his employees and assistants, brought minor girls to his Palm Beach home at 358 El Brillo Way for erotic massages and sometimes sex.
29
+
30
+ Representing victims Jane Doe No. I and Jane Doe No. 2, Hollywood attorney Brad Edwards asked the court to unseal the agreement so he can effectively represent his clients. He said he wants to be able to confer with other victims, their attorneys and the National Alliance of Victims' Rights Attorneys on strategy.
31
+
32
+ "The victims can find no legitimate basis for the document to be sealed," Edwards wrote.
33
+
34
+ In his response filed Wednesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney sought to keep the agreement sealed.
35
+
36
+ "The non-prosecution agreement has never been filed under seal in federal court," and "the government accuratel described the provisions of the agreement at the time the responses were filed with the court," wrote.
37
+
38
+ On Aug. 14, U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra ruled that the non-prosecution agreement should be unsealed for Edwards and any of the victims who want to see it.
39
+
40
+ But the ruling bars Edwards and anyone else who sees the document from disclosing the terms to anyone.
41
+
42
+ Edwards also asked the agreement be unsealed because "the government has inaccurately described the agreement."
43
+
44
+ Edwards referred to an earlier filing by Assistant U.S. Attorney stating that the agreement contains a provision to protect the victims and that the victims were told of that language in October 2007.
45
+
46
+ "Having now reviewed the non-prosecution agreement, the government's response to the victims' motion and the accompanying sworn declaration are simply untrue," Edwards wrote. "... The government should be required to correct its previously filed pleadings to accurately recount the non-prosecution agreement that it reached with Epstein."
47
+
48
+ In the government's response,. wrote that, since the document is under seal in state court, the motion to unseal it in federal court is irrelevant.
49
+
50
+ "The parties who negotiated the agreement, the United States Anorney1Oflice and Jeffrey Epstein, determined that the agreement should remain confidential," wrote.
51
+
52
+ He also dismissed the claim that Edwards needs to unseal the agreement in order to confer with other victims and their attorneys, because Marra's ruling "provides for a very simple procedure to allow other victims and their lawyers to see the agreement."
53
+
54
+ contends Edwards' assertion that the government inaccurately described the agreement is merit less.
55
+
56
+ lie explained that there's been an ongoing dispute between Epstein's attorneys and the government about what comprises the agreement.
57
+
58
+ The government believes there are three parts to the agreement executed in September 2007, October 2007 and December 2007; while Epstein's lawyers contend the agreement only consists of parts one and two.
59
+
60
+ Victim notification letters and earlier court filings contain language from part three,. wrote. Because Epstein's lawyers believe the agreement consists only of parts one and two, those were the portions disclosed to Edwards, said in his court filing.
61
+
62
+ "The fact that an erroneous disclosure was inadvertently made to one petitioner after Epstein had already entered his guilty plea ... does not create an injury where one did not exist before," wrote.

31
+
32
+ ## Terms of the Agreement:
33
+
34
+ - 1. Epstein shall plead guilty (not nob contendere) to the Indictment as currently pending against him in the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County (Case No. 2006-cf-009495A)OCXMB) charging one (1) count of solicitation of prostitution, in violation of Fl. Stat. § 796.07. In addition, Epstein shall plead guilty to an Information filed by the State Attorney's Office charging Epstein with an offense that requires him to register as a sex offender, that is, the solicitation of minors to engage in prostitution, in violation of Florida Statutes Section 796.03;
35
+ - 2. Epstein shall make a binding recommendation that the Court impose a thirty (30) month sentence to be divided as follows:
36
+ - (a) Epstein shall be sentenced to consecutive terms of twelve (12) months and six (6) months in county jail for all charges, without any opportunity for withholding adjudication or sentencing, and without probation or community control in lieu of imprisonment; and
37
+ - (b) Epstein shall be sentenced to a term of twelve (12) months of community control consecutive to his two terms in county jail as described in Term 2(a), supra.
38
+ - 3. This agreement is contingent upon a Judge of the 15th Judicial Circuit accepting and executing the sentence agreed upon between the State Attorney's Office and Epstein, the details of which are set forth in this agreement.
39
+ - 4. The terms contained in paragraphs 1 and 2, supra, do not foreclose Epstein and the State Attorney's Office from agreeing to recommend any additional charge(s) or any additional term(s) of probation and/or incarceration.
40
+ - 5. Epstein shall waive all challenges to the Information filed by the State Attorney's Office and shall waive the right to appeal his conviction and sentence, except a sentence that exceeds what is set forth in paragraph (2), supra.
41
+ - 6. Epstein shall provide to the U.S. Attorney's Office copies of all
42
+
43
+ proposed agreements with the State Attorney's Office prior to entering into those agreements.
44
+
45
+ - 7. The United States shall provide Epstein's attorneys with a list of individuals whom it has identified as victims, as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2255, after Epstein has signed this agreement and been sentenced. Upon the execution of this agreement, the United States, in consultation with and subject to the good faith approval of Epstein's counsel, shall select an attorney representative for these persons, who shall be paid for by Epstein. Epstein's counsel may contact the identified individuals through that representative.
46
+ - 8. If any of the individuals referred to in paragraph (7), supra, elects to file suit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255, Epstein will not contest the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida over his person and/or the subject matter, and Epstein waives his right to contest liability and also waives his right to contest damages up to an amount as agreed to between the identified individual and Epstein, so long as the identified individual elects to proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C. § 2255, and agrees to waive any other claim for damages, whether pursuant to state, federal, or common law. Notwithstanding this waiver, as to those individuals whose names appear on the list provided by the United States, Epstein's signature on this agreement, his waivers and failures to contest liability and such damages in any suit are not to be construed as an admission of any criminal or civil liability.
47
+ - 9. Epstein's signature on this agreement also is not to be construed as an admission of civil or criminal liability or a waiver of any jurisdictional or other defense as to any person whose name does not appear on the list provided by the United States.
48
+ - 10. Except as to those individuals who elect to proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C. § 2255, as set forth in paragraph (8), supra, neither Epstein's signature on this agreement, nor its terms, nor any resulting waivers or settlements by Epstein are to be construed as admissions or evidence of civil or criminal liability or a waiver of any jurisdictional or other defense as to any person, whether or not her name appears on the list provided by the United States.
49
+ - 11. Epstein shall use his best efforts to enter his guilty plea and be
50
+
51
+ sentenced not later than October 26, 2007. The United States has no objection to Epstein self-reporting to begin serving his sentence not later than January 4, 2008.
52
+
53
+ 1. 12. Epstein agrees that he will not be afforded any benefits with respect to gain time, other than the rights, opportunities, and benefits as any other inmate, including but not limited to, eligibility for gain time credit based on standard rules and regulations that apply in the State of Florida. At the United States' request, Epstein agrees to provide an accounting of the gain time he earned during his period of incarceration.
54
+ 2. 13. The parties anticipate that this agreement will not be made part of any public record. If the United States receives a Freedom of Information Act request or any compulsory process commanding the disclosure of the agreement, it will provide notice to Epstein before making that disclosure.
55
+
56
+ Epstein understands that the United States Attorney has no authority to require the State Attorney's Office to abide by any terms of this agreement. Epstein understands that it is his obligation to undertake discussions with the State Attorney's Office and to use his best efforts to ensure compliance with these procedures, which compliance will be necessary to satisfy the United States' interest. Epstein also understands that it is his obligation to use his best efforts to convince the Judge of the 15th Judicial Circuit to accept Epstein's binding recommendation regarding the sentence to be imposed, and understands that the failure to do so will be a breach of the agreement.
57
+
58
+ In consideration of Epstein's agreement to plead guilty and to provide compensation in the manner described above, if Epstein successfully fulfills all of the terms and conditions of this agreement, the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], or [REDACTED]. Further, upon execution of this agreement and a plea agreement with the State Attorney's Office, the federal Grand Jury investigation will be suspended, and all pending federal Grand Jury subpoenas will be held in abeyance unless and until the defendant violates any term of this agreement. The defendant likewise agrees to withdraw his pending motion to intervene and to quash certain grand jury subpoenas. Both parties agree to maintain their evidence, specifically evidence requested by or directly related to the grand jury subpoenas that have been issued, and including certain computer equipment, inviolate until all of the terms of this agreement have been satisfied. Upon the successful completion of the terms of this agreement, all outstanding grand jury subpoenas shall be deemed withdrawn.
59
+
60
+ By signing this agreement, Epstein asserts and certifies that each of these terms is material to this agreement and is supported by independent consideration and that a breach of any one of these conditions allows the United States to elect to terminate the agreement and to investigate and prosecute Epstein and any other individual or entity for any and all federal offenses.
61
+
62
+ By signing this agreement, Epstein asserts and certifies that he is aware of the fact that the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States provides that in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial. Epstein further is aware that Rule 48(b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure provides that the Court may dismiss an indictment, information, or complaint for unnecessary delay in presenting a charge to the Grand Jury, filing an information, or in bringing a defendant to trial. Epstein hereby requests that the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida defer such prosecution. Epstein agrees and consents that any delay from the date of this Agreement to the date of initiation of prosecution, as provided for in the terms expressed herein, shall be deemed to be a necessary delay at his own request, and he hereby waives any defense to such prosecution on the ground that such delay operated to deny him rights under Rule 48(b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to a speedy trial or to bar the prosecution by reason of the running of the statute of limitations for a period of months equal to the period between the signing of this agreement and the breach of this agreement as to those offenses that were the subject of the grand jury's investigation. Epstein further asserts and certifies that he understands that the Fifth Amendment and Rule 7(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure provide that all felonies must be charged in an indictment presented to a grand jury. Epstein hereby agrees and consents that, if a prosecution against him is instituted for any offense that was the subject of the grand jury's investigation, it may be by way of an Information signed and filed by the United States Attorney, and hereby waives his right to be indicted by a grand jury as to any such offense.
63
+
64
+
65
+
66
+
67
+ By signing this agreement, Epstein asserts and certifies that the above has been read and explained to him. Epstein hereby states that he understands the conditions of this Non-Prosecution Agreement and agrees to comply with them.

+ **Subject:** Epstein -- Rule 6(e) issue
2
+
3
+ Good afternoon, everyone.
4
+
5
+ Well, I still have not received everything that Epstein intends to produce, but I have reviewed about 60 pages worth of documents. Most are letters and emails related to the negotiation of the non-prosecution agreement and Epstein's post-agreement efforts to have the office or the Justice Department set aside the non-prosecution agreement and let him walk without any punishment (by alleging misconduct by myself, [REDACTED], the Palm Beach Police Department, etc.). [REDACTED]
6
+
7
+ There are copies of grand jury subpoenas and letters related to grand jury subpoenas that were send to some of Epstein's employees who were represented by attorneys who also represented Epstein. There are some cases that say that grand jury subpoenas themselves, and the identities of grand jury witnesses are confidential as per Rule 6(e). However, Rule 6(e)'s confidentiality requirements do not extend to the witnesses/subpoenaed party. Thus, the subpoenaed party could have made the subpoena and correspondence available to Epstein and, now that it is in Epstein's custody, the civil plaintiff can obtain the documents from Epstein also without running afoul of Rule 6(e).
8
+
9
+ If you would like me to file an emergency pleading with the Court seeking to stop the production of the 6(e) material, I can do so, but I don't think it will succeed. [REDACTED] – **Can one of you advise?** Epstein's counsel is producing the documents at the close of business today.
10
+
11
+ Thank you.

9
+ Gentlemen:
10
+
11
+ This Office has completed a thorough review of the U.S. Attorney's handling of the matter involving your client, Jeffrey Epstein. We have received and reviewed your letters of May 19, June 3 and June 19, 2008, the attachments to the June 19 letter, as well as your submissions to the Criminal Division and the U.S. Attorney's Office. Additionally, we have reviewed an extensive set of materials provided by the U.S. Attorney's Office and conferred with a number of highly experienced Department attorneys about this matter. The Deputy Attorney General has also been briefed.
12
+
13
+ As you know, the Department of Justice vests considerable discretion in its U.S. Attorneys, and the Deputy Attorney General will intervene in only the most unusual of circumstances. We do not believe such intervention is warranted here. Even if we were to substitute our judgment for that of the U.S. Attorney, we believe that federal prosecution of this case is appropriate. Moreover, having reviewed your allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, and the facts underlying them, we see nothing in the conduct of the U.S. Attorney's Office that gives us any reason to alter our opinion.
14
+
15
+ Sincerely,
16
+
17

+ #### DEFENDANT JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S MOTION TO DISMISS THE FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT OR, IN THE ALTERNATIVE, FOR A MORE DEFINITE STATEMENT
16
+
17
+ Defendant JEFFREY EPSTEIN, by and through his undersigned counsel, moves to dismiss or, alternatively, for a more definite statement of, the First Amended Complaint. Fed. R. Civ. RR. 12(b)(6) & 12(e) (2009); Loc. Rule 7.1 (S.D. Fla. 2009). In support, Defendant states:
18
+
19
+ ## Pleading Standard & Summary of Argument
20
+
21
+ The First Amended Complaint ("FAC") alleges claims under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 that explicitly incorporate, and thus necessarily require Plaintiff to prove that Defendant is guilty of violating, specific criminal prohibitions set forth in Title 18 of the U.S. Code. While the Supreme Court has held that every complaint "'must contain something more than a statement of facts that merely creates a suspicion of a legally cognizable right of action," Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544. 555 (2007), and just last week made clear that "Twombly expounded the pleading standard for 'all civil actions' and not just pleadings made in the context of an antitrust dispute," Ashcroft v. Iqbal, No. 07-1015 (U.S. May 18, 2009) (slip op. at 20) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 1), the need to enforce these pleading requirements is especially acute in this context. After all, the defendant in a § 2255 action is essentially being put on trial for violating criminal laws, and the statutory penalty is obviously and intentionally punitive.

23
+ unlawfully-harmed-me accusation" before allowing plaintiffs to launch a fishing expedition for evidence of possible crimes, lqbal, slip op. at 14 (citing Thvombly, 550 U.S. at 555), but essential that the accused be given "'such a statement of the facts and circumstances as will inform [him] of the specific offense ... with which he is charged," including a "specific identification of fact[s]" required to establish "fully, directly, and expressly, without any uncertainty or ambiguity, ... all the elements nececsary to constitute the offence." Russell v. United States, 369 U.S. 749, 764-65 (1962) (quoting United States v. Hess, 124 U.S. 483, 487 (1888); United States v. Carll, 105 U.S. 611, 612 (1881)). The FAC does not come close to discharging that burden.
24
+
25
+ A. The applicable version of § 2255 only permits "minors" to sue: "Any minor who is a victim of a violation of [certain criminal statutes] and who suffers personal injury as a result of such violation may sue." 18 U.S.C. § 2255(a) (2003) (emphasis added). Yet the FAC affirmatively admits that Plaintiff is over the age of 18. See FAC 1 18 ("Plaintiff was first brought to Defendant's mansion in or about the spring of 2003, when she was merely 17 years old."). Plaintiff is bound by that admission, and the FAC must be dismissed with prejudice. Best Canvas Prods. & Supplies, Inc. v. Ploof Truck Lines. Inc., 713 F.2d 618, 621 (11th Cir. 1983) ("[A] party is bound by the admissions in his pleadings.").
26
+
27
+ B. Nor is Plaintiff the "victim of a violation" of a predicate criminal statute within the meaning of § 2255. 18 U.S.C. § 2255(a). In our system of justice, those accused of "violating" a criminal statute are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a criminal court. With due respect to the courts that have concluded otherwise, it defies common sense to think that Congress intended to invert that fundamental legal norm, and the legislative history of § 2255 expressly confirms that Congress intended to condition § 2255 actions on an antecedent criminal conviction. The FAC therefore must be dismissed because it does not—and cannot allege that Defendant has been convicted of a predicate criminal offense.
28
+
29
+ absence of a predicate conviction, the FAC not only fails to meet the modest pleading standards elucidated by Twombly and Iqbal, but—even taken as true—would not establish a legally "plausible" claim that Plaintiff is a victim of any predicate criminal offense giving rise to a § 2255 cause of action. See Iqbal, slip op. at 15 (explaining that every civil complaint must state "a plausible claim for relief," and that "where the well-pleaded facts do not permit the court to infer more than the mere possibility of misconduct, the complaint has alleged—but it has not `shown'—`that the pleader is entitled to relief.") (quoting Fed. It. Civ. P. 8(aX2)).
30
+
31
+ k Finally, Plaintiffs attempt to multiply the penalties recoverable under § 2255(a) by pleading six separate counts is inconsistent with the language and structure of § 2255. The law allows for a single action predicated on any and all predicate criminal acts, and entitles the plaintiff only to a single recovery of actual damages (subject only to a presumptive minimum).

+ ## I. THE COMPLAINT MUST BE DISMISSED BECAUSE PLAINTIFF IS NOT A MINOR.
34
+
35
+ #### A. The Version of 18 U.S.C. § 2255 In Effect When The Predicate Acts Allegedly Were Committed Allowed Only "Minors" To File Suit.
36
+
37
+ The FAC is predicated exclusively on acts that allegedly occurred in 2003. FAC ¶ 18 ("Plaintiff was first brought to Defendant's mansion in ... the spring of 2003."); id. ¶ 19 ("Defendant thereafter lured [Plaintiff] to [his home] on at least one and perhaps two other occasions in the spring and/or summer of 2003."). At that time, 18 U.S.C. § 2255(a) provided:
38
+
39
+ Any minor who is a victim of a violation of [certain specified federal statutes] and who suffers personal injury as a result of such violation may sue in any appropriate United States District Court and shall recover the actual damages such minor sustains and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee. Any minor as described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$50,000 in value.
40
+
41
+ It is well settled that in interpreting a statute, the court's inquiry begins with the text and structure of the law. CBS, Inc. v. Prime Time 24 Venture, 245 F.3d 1217, 1222 (11th Cir. 2001) ("We begin our construction of [a statutory provision] where courts should always begin the process of legislative interpretation, and where they often should end it as well, which is with the words of the statutory provision.") (quoting Harris v, Gamer, 216 F.3d 970, 972 (11th Cir. 2000) (en bane)) (first alteration omitted). In this case, the plain text of the 2003 statute is both clear and unmistakable. It allowed only minors (or the representative of a then-minor, see Fed R. Civ. P. 17(c)) to initiate suit under § 2255. It provided only that "any minor ... may sue" and that "any minor ... shall recover the actual damages such minor sustains" as a result of the predicate acts. Id. (emphasis added). The law's use of the present tense further underscored its limited scope: It spoke of "any minor who is a victim," provided that "such minor ... shall recover" damages arising from the underlying offense, and stated that "any minor ... shall be deemed" to have sustained at least \$50,000 in damages. Id. (emphasis added). Where the statute's words are unambiguous—as the are here--the "judicial inquiry is complete." Merritt v, Dillard Paper Co., 120 F.3d 1181, 1186 (11th Cir. 1997) (citation omitted)). Under the 2003 version of the statute, only minors could initiate suit.
42
+
43
+ To the extent there is any ambiguity in the text—and there is none—the law's legislative history further underscores Congress's intent to limit the right of action to minors: "Current law provides for a civil remedy for personal injuries resulting from child pornography offenses. This section expands the number of sex offenses in which a minor may pursue a civil remedy for personal injuries resulting from the offense." H.R. Rep. 105-557, at 23 (1998), as reprinted in 1998 U.S.C.C.A.N. 678, 692. And perhaps most telling, Congress amended § 2255 in 2006 three years after the alleged misconduct in this case supposedly took place—to make the civil action available to persons who had turned 18 by the time they filed suit:
44
+
45
+ (a) In general.—Any person who, while a minor, was a victim of a violation of section 2241(c), 2242, 2243, 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, 2260, 2421, 2422, or 2423 of this title and who suffers personal injury as a result of such violation, regardless of whether the injury occurred while such person was a minor, may sue in any appropriate United States District Court and shall recover the actual damages such person sustains and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee. Any person as described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$150,000 in value.
46
+
47
+ 18 U.S.C. § 2255 (2006) (emphasis added).
48
+
49
+ The contrast between the 2003 and 2006 versions of § 2255 is stark. The 2006 law replaces each of the 2003 law's uses of the term "minor with the term "person." Where the 2006 law does refer to a "minor," it changes the 2003 law's present-tense references ("is") to past-tense references ("was"). And the 2006 law's new language now makes clear that, unlike the 2003 statute, those victimized while under the age of 18 may sue after they turn 18. Given that amendments must be interpreted "to have real and substantial effect," Stone v. I.N.S., 514 U.S. 386, 397 (1995), there can be no doubt that Congress recognized the prior statute's strict limitations and for the first time expanded the right of action to adults.
50
+
51
+ Indeed, the history of the 2006 amendments clearly shows that Congress intended to change the law, not merely to clarify it. Those amendments were made by § 707 of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, Pub. L. No. 109-248, 120 Stat. 587, 650 (2006), and are known as "Masha's Law." As Senator Kerry—the author of Masha's Law-e xplained:
52
+
53
+ What Masha's law does, and what is incorporated in here, is it changes "any minor" to "any person," so that if a minor is depicted in photographs pornographically that are distributed over the Internet, but by the time the abuser is caught, the minor is an adult, they can still recover. They cannot listbv and that is ridiculous. It makes sure that recovery on the part of a minor can take place when they become an adult....
54
+
55
+ Although I don't think there is any price too high to cost an individual who would take advantage of a minor, I think it is only appropriate to ... make sure that reaching the age of adulthood does not exempt someone from recovery. It is a tribute to continuing to do what this bill does, and that is look after the protection of minors and ensure that those who violate them are caught and punished and have to pay to the maximum extent.

60

62
+
63
+ It thus is no answer that the 2003 statute's limitations clause provided that "in the case of a person under a legal disability, [the complaint may be filed] not later than three years after the disability," 18 U.S.C. § 2255(b) (2003), such that the unamended version of the law implicitly must have permitted victims to sue even after they turned 18. That interpretation not only would render Masha's Law superfluous; it would make Masha's Law's internally redundant, because Masha's Law retained the "legal disability" language from the 2003 version of § 2255(b). See 18 U.S.C. § 2255(b) (2006). In short, the retained "legal disability" language in § 2255(b) of the 2006 statute would be entirely redundant were it construed to do implicitly what the law elsewhere did expressly. In these circumstances, the traditional rules against surplusage and redundancy apply with double force. See, e.g., Duncan v. Walker, 533 U.S. 167, 174 (2001). The "legal disability" language in § 2255(b) should be interpreted to reference classic legal disabilities like insanity, mental disability, or imprisonment—not age.
64
+
65
+ Indeed, that is precisely how Congress typically uses the term "legal disability": most federal statutes that use the term make clear that it doesn't include age. See, e.g., 25 U.S.C. § 590c ("A share or interest payable to enrollees less than eighteen years of age or under legal

67
+ Similarly, the official summary prepared by the Congressional Research Service ("CRS") explained that Masha's Law Itievises provisions allowing victims of certain sex-related crimes to seek civil remedies to: (I) allow adults as well as minors to sue for injuries; and (2) increase from \$50,000 to \$150,000 the minimum level of damages." Official Summary of Pub. Law No. 109.248 (July 27, 2006), as reprinted at http://thornas.loc.gov/cgi-bintbdquerylz?d109:11R04472:®®®L&summ2=m& (emphasis added) (last visited May 10, 2009). Courts have long consulted official CRS summaries to assess legislative intent, see. e.g., &nig v. Pension Ben. Guar. Com. 744 F.2d 133, 145 & n.7 (D.C. Cr. 1984); DIRECTV Inc. v. Cigoarella No. Civ.A 03-2384, 2005 WL 1252261 at \*7 (D.NJ. May 24, 2005); Clohessv v. St Francis Host & Healthcare No. 98-C-4818, 1999 In 46898'2-•3 (ND. III.

70
+
71
+ Needless to say, Congress would not have had to address age expressly in any of these statutes if the term "legal disability" necessarily included one's status as a minor; instead, Congress's mere use of the term "legal disability" already would account for a would-be plaintiffs minority status. Given the rule "against reading a text in a way that makes part of it redundant," Nat'l Ass'n of Home Builders v. Defenders of Wildlife, 551 U.S. 644 (2007) (citing TRW Inc. v. Andrews, 534 U.S. 19, 31 (2001)), and the canon that "where words are employed in a statute which had at the time a well-known meaning ... in the law of this country, they are presumed to have been used in that sense," Standard Oil Co. v. United States, 221 U.S. 1, 59 (1911), § 2255's reference to "legal disability" can only be interpreted as a reference to classic disabilities like insanity or mental incapacity, but not age.
72
+
73
+ But this Court need not even reach that issue in this case. Regardless of whether § 2255(b) would allow a minor to sue within three years of turning 18, that carve-out would not help Plaintiff in this case. After all, she openly admits that she was 17 years-old in 2003. FAC 11 18, 19. That means that she was either 22 or 23 when she filed this case in April 2009—at least a titll year beyond the three-year period set forth in § 2255(b), regardless of how the "legal disability" language in that subsection of the statute is construed. In short, and under any reasonable interpretation of the law, the version of the statute in effect at the time of the alleged criminal conduct giving rise to this suit would preclude Plaintiff from maintaining this action.
74
+
75
+ ## B. Masha's Law Does Not Apply To This Case.
76
+
77
+ The presumption against retroactivity and the Ex Post Facto clause preclude application of Masha's Law in this case, where the alleged predicate conduct was completed before 2006.
78
+
79
+ ## 1. Congress Did Not Intend To Apply Masha's Law Retroactively.
80
+
81
+ It is axiomatic that "retroactivity is not favored," Bowen v. Georgetown Univ. Hosp., 488 U.S. 204, 208 (1988), and the "traditional presumption teaches that [an amended statute] does not govern absent clear congressional intent favoring such a result." Landgraf v. USI Film Prods., 511 U.S. 244, 280 (1994). As the Supreme Court has explained, this presumption
82
+
83
+ embodies a legal doctrine centuries older than our Republic. Elementary considerations of fairness dictate that individuals should have an opportunity to know what the law is and to conform their conduct accordingly; settled expectations should not be lightly disrupted. For that reason, the "principle that the legal effect of conduct should ordinarily be assessed under the law that existed when the conduct took place has timeless and universal appeal." Kaiser Alum. & Chem. Corp. v. Bonjorno, 494 U.S. 827, 855 (1990) (Scalia, J., concurring).
84
+
85
+ Id. at 265 (footnote omitted). Courts therefore apply the statute in effect at the time of the underlying conduct unless there is a clear statement that an amendment should apply retroactively to pre-enactment conduct. See, e.g., Hughes Aircraft Co. v. United States ex rel. Schumer, 520 U.S. 939, 952 (1997) ("Given the absence of a clear statutory expression of congressional intent to apply the 1986 amendment to conduct completed before its enactment, we ... hold that, under the relevant 1982 version of the [statute], the District Court was obliged to dismiss this action.").
86
+
87
+ There is no clear indication that Congress intended Masha's Law to apply retroactively. Unlike the many cases in which Congress has specified that a particular amendment applies in proceedings "commenced on or after the date of enactment," Tello v. Dean Witter Reynolds,. Inc., 410 F.3d 1275, 1283 (11th Cir. 2005) (collecting examples), Masha's Law was subject only to a standard effective date provision that sheds no light on its retroactivity. See Landgraf, 511 U.S. at 1493 ("A statement that a statute will become effective on a certain date does not even arguably suggest that it has any application to conduct that occurred at an earlier date.").
88
+
89
+ Far more important, the only expression of congressional intent regarding retroactivity strongly suggests that Congress did not intend Masha's Law to apply retroactively. As set forth above, Masha's Law was enacted as part of the Adam Walsh Act. The centerpiece of that Act was an expanded sex-offender registry ("SORNA") intended to bolster tracking of convicted sex offenders. See Pub. L. 109-248 §§ 1-155, 120 Stat. 587, 590-611 (2006). To effectuate SORNA, Congress provided that offenders must register "before completing a sentence of imprisonment with respect to the offense giving rise to the registration requirement, or not later than 3 business days after being sentenced" if no prison term was imposed. 42 U.S.C. § 16913(b). It also imposed penalties on offenders who fail to register. See 18 U.S.C. § 2250(a). At the same time, and of particular relevance in this case, Congress recognized that applying SORNA to past offenders would raise retroactivity concerns. It therefore addressed retroactivity expressly:
90
+
91
+ The Attorney General shall have the authority to specify the applicability of the requirements of this subchapter to sex offenders convicted before July 27, 2006 or its implementation in a particular jurisdiction, and to prescribe rules for the registration of any such sex offenders.
92
+
93
+ 42 U.S.C. § 16913 (d).
94
+
95
+ While Congress clearly provided that SORNA could be applied retroactively, it did not do so with respect to Masha's Law. As the Supreme Court and the Eleventh Circuit have long observed, "'where Congress includes particular language in one section of a statute but omits it in another section of the same Act, it is generally presumed that Congress acts intentionally and purposefully in the disparate inclusion or exclusion."' United States v. Jordan, 915 F.2d 622, 628 (11th Cir. 1990) (quoting Rodriguez v. United States, 480 U.S. 522, 525 (1987) (itself quoting Russello v. United States, 464 U.S. 16, 23 (1983))). There is no basis for departing from that rule. Given the strong evidence that Congress did not intend retroactively to apply Masha's Law, the 2003 version of § 2255 supplies the governing law.
96
+
97
+ ## 2. The Ex Post Facto Clause Bars Application Of Masha's Law.
98
+
99
+ Even if Congress did intend Masha's Law to apply retroactively, doing so would violate the Ex Post Facto clause. U.S. CONST. art. 1, § 9, cl. 3. As the Eleventh Circuit has explained:
100
+
101
+ [The] Constitution provides that "[n]o Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed" by Congress. U.S. Const. art. I, § 9, cl. 3. A law violates the Ex Post Facto Clause if it "'applies to events occurring before its enactment and disadvantages the offender affected by it' by altering the definition of criminal conduct or increasing the punishment for the crime." Lynce v. Mathis, 519 U.S. 433, 441 (1997) (quoting Weaver v. Graham 450 U.S. 24, 29 (1981)).
102
+
103
+ United States v. Siegel 153 F.3d 1256, 1259 (11th Cir. 1998) (emphasis added; internal alterations omitted). Even though this case nominally involves a civil cause of action, the Ex Post Facto Clause is triggered both because Masha's Law dramatically increased the penalties for predicate criminal violations and because its retroactive application would revive Defendant's exposure to penalties that previously had become barred as a matter of law.
104
+
105
+ ### a. Retroactive Application Of Masha's Law Would Increase The Penalties For Violating The Predicate Criminal Statutes.
106
+
107
+ While the 2003 statute provided that "[a]ny minor ... shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$50,000," 18 U.S.C. § 2255 (2003) (emphasis added), Masha's Law trebles the minimum statutory damages by providing that plaintiffs "shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$150,000." Id. (2006) (emphasis added). As a result, the enhanced monetary penalties provided by Masha's Law "increas[e] the punishment for the crime," Lvnce, 519 U.S. at 441, and make "the punishment for crimes committed before its enactment `more onerous' than the punishment would have been under the unamended statute. Id. at 442 (quoting Weaver, 450 U.S. at 36). Those penalties are the direct consequence of a defendant's commission of a predicate criminal offense and form a deliberate part of the punishment for that crime. See, e.g., 134 Cong. Rec. S372-01 (Feb. 1, 1998) (statement of Sen. Grassley) ("(T]he sanctions provided for in my bill, such as ... the amended civil remedy section ... provide much needed criminal enforcement tools.") (emphasis added); 152 Cong. Rec. S8012-02 at 58016 (July 20, 2006) (statement of Sen. Kerry) ("[Masha's Law] raises from \$50,000 to \$150,000 the penalty ... if, in fact, someone ... is caught and convicted.") (emphasis added). Accordingly, Masha's Law cannot lawfully be applied in this case.
108
+
109
+ The Eleventh Circuit's decision in United States v. Siegel, 153 F.3d 1256 (11th Cir. 1998), is virtually on point. hi Siegel the defendant pleaded guilty to charges under 18 U.S.C. § 371 and § 1956(aX1)(A) that arose out of actions taken he took between February 1, 1988 and May 1, 1990. Id. at 1259. Under the restitution statute in effect when the crimes were committed ("VWPA"), courts had discretion "to order `that the defendant make restitution to any victim of the offense!" Id. at 1259 (citing 18 U.S.C. § 3663 (1985)). But that discretion was limited: "In exercising this discretion, the court was required to consider `the amount of the loss sustained by any victim as a result of the offense, the financial resources of the defendant, the financial needs and earning ability of the defendant and the defendant's dependents, and such other factors as the court deems appropriate,' before fixing the amount of the restitution, if any, that the defendant was required to pay." Id. at 1260 (citing 18 U.S.C. § 3664(a) (1985)).
110
+
111
+ Before Siegel pleaded guilty in July 1996, Congress passed the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act ("MVRA"). Id. at 1258-59 (citing Pub. L. No. 104-132, § 211). That law mandated the award of full restitution without regard to the defendant's economic circumstances. Id. at 1260. Congress expressly made those changes "effective for sentencing proceedings in cases in which the defendant is convicted on or after April 24, 1996." Id. at 1258 (quoting statute; alteration omitted). The district court applied MVRA at Siegel's sentencing and ordered him to pay restitution totaling \$1,207,000 without considering his inability to do so. Id. at 1258. The Eleventh Circuit reversed, holding that MVRA "cannot be applied to a person whose criminal conduct occurred prior to [its effective date]." Id. at 1260. It explained:
112
+
113
+ At the time [of sentencing], the amended VWPA thus had the potential to increase the amount of restitution they would have to pay, from an amount set by the court by taking into account appellants' financial circumstances, to full restitution.
114
+
115
+ Accordingly, if the court determines that the VWPA should apply to this case, it must use the old version to avoid running afoul of the Ex Post Facto Clause.
116
+
117
+ Id. (quoting United States v. Baggett, 125 F.3d 1319, 1322 (9th Cir. 1997)).
118
+
119
+ This case is indistinguishable from Siegel. As in Siegel, Masha's Law caused "a substantive change ... to [defendant]'s detriment," by trebling the minimum statutory penalty payable to the victim of a predicate crime. Id. at 1260. As in Siegel, Masha's Law thus has "the potential to increase the amount of restitution [defendants] would have to pay" to victims of a predicate crime. Id. Accordingly, and as in Siegel, Masha's Law cannot be applied where the predicate criminal conduct allegedly occurred prior to the amended statute's effective date.
120
+
121
+ It is no answer that the law at issue in Siegel provided "restitution" to the victim of a criminal offense while this statute provides "damages" to the victim of a criminal offense; by definition, damages paid by an offender to the victim of a criminal offense are restitution. See Black's Law Dict. (8th ed. 2004) (defining restitution as "[c]ompensation for loss; esp., full or partial compensation paid by a criminal to a victim."). Indeed, the case for applying a post facto principles is even stronger here than in Siegel: While MVRA mandated the award of actual damages to the victim, Masha's Law mandates the payment of at least \$150,000 to the victim even if the victim did not actually sustain \$150,000 in damages. See 18 U.S.C. § 2255 (2006) ("Any [victim] shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than 8150,000 in value.") (emphasis added). Given its obviously penal nature, there is little wonder why Senator Kerry repeatedly described Masha's Law as increasing "the penalty" for persons convicted of a predicate crime. 152 Cong. Rec. 58012-02, 58016 (July 20, 2006) (statement of Sen. Kerry).
122
+
123
+ Because applying the 2006 amendments would increase the punishment for violating a predicate criminal statute, Masha's Law cannot lawfully be applied in this case
124
+
125
+ - b. Retroactively Applying Masha's Law Impermissibly Would Revive Defendant's Exposure To Previously Barred Penalties For His Alleged Violation Of The Predicate Criminal Statutes.
126
+
127
+ Perhaps more important, the Er Post Facto clause precludes application of Masha's Law here because it would revive Defendant's exposure to penalties that previously had become barred by operation of law—no matter their amount. As set forth above, the 2003 statute allowed only "minors" to file suit. Because Plaintiff was 17 when the predicate offenses allegedly were committed, she could have sought the statutory penalty under the 2003 version of § 2255. Once Plaintiff turned 18, however, she lost her ability to sue. That extinguished Defendant's exposure to penalties for his alleged crimes. Applying Masha's Law thereby would revive Defendant's exposure to penalties in direct contravention of the Er Post Facto clause.
128
+
129
+ The Supreme Court's decision in California v. Stogner, 539 U.S. 607 (2003), perfectly illustrates the point. In Stogner, the defendant was charged in 1998 based on sex crimes that he allegedly committed between 1955 and 1973. While the original three-year statute of limitations for those offenses long had lapsed, a California law purported to "revive" stale claims by authorizing the filing of charges within one year of a new police report alleging past child sexual abuse. 539 U.S. at 609-10 (discussing Cal. Penal Code Ann. § 803(g) (2003)). The defendant moved unsuccessfully to dismiss the indictment, and later appealed to the Supreme Court.
130
+
131
+ That Court reversed, explaining that "the new statute threatens the kinds of harm that ... the Ex Post Facto Clause seeks to avoid," because its revival of previously barred claims would subject the defendant to penalties for criminal conduct "after the State has assured `a man that he has become safe from its pursuit," and thus would "deprive the defendant of the `fair warning' that might have led him to preserve exculpatory evidence." 539 U.S. at 611 (quoting Falter v United States, 23 F.2d 420, 426 (2d Cir. 1928) (Hand, J.) and Weaver, 450 U.S. at 28). More important, the Court observed, California's revival of otherwise barred claims fell squarely within a category of ex post facto laws condemned by the Supreme Court's seminal ex post facto decision, Calder v. Bull—namely, laws providing for "punishments, where the party was not, by law, liable to any punishment." Id. at 612 (quoting Calder, 3 Dall. 386, 391 (1798)).
132
+
133
+ The second category—including any "law that aggravates a crime, or makes it greater than it was, when committed," describes California's statute as long as those words are understood as Justice Chase understood them—i.e., as referring to a statute that "intlict[s] punishments, where the party was not, by law, liable to any punishment." After (but not before) the original statute of limitations had expired, a party such as Stogner was not "liable to any punishment." California's new statute therefore "aggravated" Stogner's alleged crime, or made it "greater than it was, when committed," in the sense that, and to the extent that, it "inflicted punishment" for past criminal conduct that (when the new law was enacted) did not trigger any such liability.
134
+
135
+ Id. at 613 (quoting Calder, 3 Dail. at 391) (internal citations omitted). The Court held that the Ex Post Facto clause precludes the revival of claims predicated on past crimes.
136
+
137
+ The precise concerns animating Stogner are present in this case. As in Stogner, Defendant was liable to punishment" under § 2255 before Plaintiff turned 18, but once she attained that age, he no was longer "liable to punishment" under § 2255 for his alleged commission of the predicate crimes against her. And as in Stogner retroactively applying Masha's Law in a manner that would revive Defendant's exposure to statutory penalties would "aggravate" his alleged crimes "in the sense, and to the extent that, it `inflicted punishment' for past criminal conduct that (when the new law was enacted) did not trigger any such liability." Id. (quoting Calder, 3 Dail. at 391). At bottom, then, well-settled retroactivity and ex post facto principles preclude application of Masha's Law to Defendant's alleged pre-enactment conduct.
138
+
139
+ # C. The MC Must Be Dismissed Because Plaintiff Concededly Is Not A Minor.
140
+
141
+ As the FAC makes clear, Plaintiff was 17 in the spring of 2003, and she thus was either 22 or 23 when she filed this suit in April 2009. FAC ¶ 18. Because Masha's Law cannot lawfully be applied to the alleged conduct in this case, and because the prior statute provided that only "minors" may sue, the FAC must be dismissed with prejudice.
142
+
143
+ ## IL THE FAC MUST BE DISMISSED BECAUSE DEFENDANT HAS NOT BEEN CONVICTED OF A PREDICATE OFFENSE.
144
+
145
+ Even if Plaintiff were entitled to maintain this suit—and without regard to which version of § 2255 applies—the FAC still would fail as a matter of law because it does not (and cannot
146
+
147
+ consistent with Rule 11) allege that Defendant is guilty of "a violation" of a predicate statute. See 18 U.S.C. § 2255(a) (2003 & 2006) (plaintiff must be "a victim of a violation of [certain federal statutes]"). As set forth below, the plain text of the statute and its legislative history demonstrate that § 2255 is conditioned on a prior federal conviction. Because Defendant has never been convicted of a predicate federal offense, the FAC must be dismissed.
148
+
149
+ ## A. The Statute Requires Proof Of A Prior Federal Conviction.
150
+
151
+ By its plain terms, § 2255 only permits "a victim of a violation" of certain federal criminal statutes to seek statutory penalties. See 18 U.S.C. § 2255(a) (2003 & 2006). Given the presumption of innocence that animates our system of criminal justice, Congress's reference to "a victim of a violation" of a criminal statute can only be interpreted to require proof that the defendant has been convicted of a predicate federal offense against the plaintiff. After all, an individual accused of "violating" a criminal statute is deemed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It would turn that principle upside down if plaintiffs could sue in the absence of an antecedent criminal conviction. Given that "Congress is understood to legislate against a background of common-law adjudicatory principles," Astoria Fed. Say. & Loan Assn. v. Solimino, 501 U.S. 104, 108 (1991), "the courts may take it as given that Congress has legislated with an expectation that the principle will apply except 'when a statutory purpose to the contrary is evident.'" Id. (quoting Isbrandtsen Co. v. Johnson 343 U.S. 779, 783 (1952)).
152
+
153
+ In this case, however, the Court need not take anything "as given." Even if the statute's language were not clear—which it is—§ 2255's legislative history confirms that Congress intended to require a prior criminal conviction. While the history accompanying the wage of the original 1986 statute is sparse--§ 2255 was inserted with little debate into an omnibus appropriations bill for 1987, see Pub. L No. 99-500, 100 Stat. 1783 (1986)—the 1998 and 2006 extensions of § 2255 produced clear statements regarding Congress's intent. In 1998, for instance, Congress added additional predicate statutes to § 2255. Senator Grassley, who wrote
154
+
155
+ the amendments, explained that "the sanctions provided for in my bill, such as ... the amended civil remedy section [would] provide much needed criminal enforcement tools" against convicted offenders. 134 Cong. Rec. 5372-01 (Feb. 1, 1998) (statement of Sen. Grassley). Not surprisingly, the House Report accompanying that legislation used classic terms associated with an adjudicated conviction in order to make clear that the bill targeted those convicted of the predicate crimes: "It is the intention of the Committee that only the offender who perpetrated the offense against the minor is liable for damages under this section." H.R. Rep. 105-557, P.L. 105-314: Protection of Children From Sexual Predators Act of 1998, at 23 (emphasis added).
156
+
157
+ The legislative history of Masha's Law is even more explicit:
158
+
159
+ What Masha's law does, and what is incorporated in here, is it ... makes sure that recovery on the part of a minor can take place when they become an adult, whether or not the guilty person is incarcerated. It raises from \$50,000 to \$150,000 the penalty for which that individual can be recompensated if in fact,, someone who depicts that picture and puts it on the Internet and uses them & caught and convicted.
160
+
161
+ 152 Cong. Rec. S8012-02 at S8016 (July 20, 2006) (statement of Sen. Kerry). These references could hardly be clearer: for the statute to apply, the defendant must be arrested, tried, and found "guilty"—the "penalty" is available only "if, in fact, someone ... is caught and convicted." Id. As noted above, courts give special weight to the statements of a bill's sponsor. Corley, 129 S.Ct. at 1569. Given these clear statements from Senator Kerry, the only plausible conclusion is that § 2255 requires proof of an antecedent criminal conviction.
162
+
163
+ That having been said, we do recognize that two district courts have held that plaintiffs may pursue a § 2255 action even without a prior conviction. Smith v. Husband. 376 F. Supp. 2d 603 (E.D. Va. 2005); Doe v, Liberatore, 478 F. Supp. 2d 742 (ED. Pa. 2007). But with due respect, these decisions overlook the relevant legislative history set forth above and rely instead on legislative history that is at best inapposite, and at worst irrelevant. In particular, Smith and Liberatore (which itself rested entirely on Smith) hinge on two pieces of legislative history relating to unenacted drafts of the legislation. See Smith, 376 F. Supp. 2d at 610-12• Liberatore, 478 F. Supp. 2d at 754-55.
164
+
165
+ First, both courts found it significant that § 2255 initially was proposed as an amendment to the civil RICO statute, and in particular that an early draft of the legislation allowed "[a]ny person injured (1) personally by reason of a violation of [RICO] if such injury results from an act indictable under sections 2251 and 2252 of this title (relating to sexual exploitation of children) ... [to] sue therefor." Smith, 276 F. Supp. 2d at 611 (quoting 132 Cong. Rec. E1983-01 (June 5, 1986) (statement of Rep. Siljander during extension of remarks)); Liberatore, 478 F. Supp. 2d at 755 (relying on Smith, 276 F. Supp. 2d at 611). As Smith concluded, "[t]his language ... indicates that it was not Congress's intent that a conviction under the other sexual exploitation statutes be a prerequisite to the initiation of a civil suit for damages," because the draft bill grounded the cause of action on "an act indictable' under the statute" instead of one that actually produced an indictment and conviction. Smith, 276 F. Supp. 2d at 612.
166
+
167
+ Smith's analysis draws precisely the wrong conclusion from this unenacted draft language. After all, the law Congress actually passed did not contain the language on which Smith and Liberatore relied. Instead, it allowed only by minors injured by an actual "violation" of the predicate statutes to sue—not those who merely alleged that a defendant could have been indicted (but was neither indicted nor convicted) for conduct that allegedly breached those statutes. It is odd to treat the removal of language from draft legislation as proof that the enacted bill carried the same meaning. Instead, courts draw the opposite inference. Russello 464 U.S. at 23-24 ("Where Congress includes limiting language in an earlier version of a bill but deletes it prior to enactment, it may be presumed that the limitation was not intended.").
168
+
169
+ Smith and Liberatore also relied on excerpts from a CRS report analyzing another early draft of the legislation. Smith, 376 F. Supp. 2d at 611 (citing 132 Cong. Rec. E3242-02 (Sept. 23, 1986) (statement of Rep. Green during extension of remarks)); see also Liberatore, 478 F. Supp. 2d at 755 (citing Smith). According to Smith, the CRS report stated that "violations are to be determined by a preponderance of the evidence. Successful plaintiffs are entitled to recover the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee, from those found guilty of a violation." Id. (quoting 132 Cong. Rec. E3242-02 (Sept. 23, 1986)). Smith thus held that "Whe analysis of that proposed draft indicated that a violation under § 2255 was to be proven only by a preponderance of the evidence," and "indicates that 18 U.S.C. § 2255 was intended to provide a remedy ... without requiring a criminal conviction." Id. at 611-12.
170
+
171
+ Set aside that Congress eventually deleted from the bill the preponderance-of-theevidence standard discussed in the CRS report; while that alone renders this portion of the CRS report irrelevant, the key point here is that Smith's analysis of the report is flawed on its own terms. To begin with, the fact that draft's proposed preponderance-of-the-evidence standard does not remotely prove that Congress sought to permit § 2255 actions in the absence of a predicate criminal conviction. To the contrary, requiring a prior criminal conviction is perfectly consistent with such a standard, since the plaintiff in a § 2255 case could simply introduce proof of the prior conviction and thereby discharge her burden of proving a violation under a preponderance-of-the-evidence standard. As a result, the (never adopted) preponderance-of-theevidence standard on its own sheds no light on the question.
172
+
173
+ Moreover, the Smith court overlooked the key line in its quotation from the CRS report namely, the report's statement that the draft version of § 2255 would allow plaintiffs to recover penalties from "'those found guilty of a violation.'" Smith, 376 F. Supp. 2d at 611 (emphasis added) (quoting 132 Cong. Rec. E3242-02 (Sept. 23, 1986) (statement of Rep. Green during extension of remarks)). Needless to say, civil courts do not find defendants "guilty"—only criminal courts do. On this point, the report's explicit reference to adjudicated guilt in connection with the statute's use of the term "violation" provides clear and obvious evidence that Congress intended to require proof of a criminal violation as a precondition to suit.
174
+
175
+ Finally—and perhaps most important—Smith's selective quotation from the CRS report omitted key language showing Congress's intent to require proof of an antecedent criminal conviction. Quoted in its entirety, the relevant portion of the CRS report explained:
176
+
177
+ For purposes of this section, violations are to be determined by a preponderance of the evidence. Successful plaintiffs are entitled to recover the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee, from those found guilty of a violation. Proposed § 2250(d) states that a defendant found guilty in any criminal proceeding brought by the United States under this chapter is estopped from denying the essential allegations of the criminal offense in any subsequent civil proceeding. Since the standard of proof in criminal cases, "beyond a reasonable doubt," is stronger than the "preponderance of the evidence" standard contained in proposed § 2255, this relieves the plaintiff from having to establish those facts which have already been proven under a higher standard of proof in a finalized criminal proceeding.
178
+
179
+ 132 Cong. Rec. E3242-02 (Sept. 23, 1986) (statement of Rep. Green) (emphasis added).
180
+
181
+ As the omitted language makes clear, the whole point of the proposed preponderance-ofthe-evidence standard was that it would work hand-in-glove with the draft legislation's estoppel provision in order to ensure that plaintiffs would not have to replicate proof of guilt after the defendant was convicted in a prior criminal case. Thus, to the extent the draft bills that eventually led to § 2255 have any bearing on the meaning of the language that Congress actually enacted, the legislative history relied upon by Smith and Liberatore makes clear that Congress intended to authorize a "subsequent civil proceeding" only after a defendant had been convicted "beyond a reasonable doubt ... in a finalized criminal proceeding." Id. (emphasis added).
182
+
183
+ At bottom, the plain text and legislative history clearly show that § 2255 authorizes an action only after the defendant has been convicted of violating a predicate criminal statute.
184
+
185
+ ## B. Defendant's Plea To Certain State-Law Offenses Is Insufficient To Authorize Suit Under 18 U.S.C. § 2255.
186
+
187
+ The FAC seeks to overcome this hurdle by asserting that Defendant "entered pleas of 'guilty' to various Florida state crimes involving the solicitation of minors for prostitution and the procurement of minors for the purposes of prostitution [and therefore] is in the same position
188
+
189
+ as if he had been tried and convicted of the sexual offenses committed against Plaintiff and, as such, must admit liability unto Plaintiff." FAC 124. While it generally is true that a complaint's allegations must be taken as true, "unwarranted deductions of facts or legal conclusions masquerading as facts will not prevent dismissal." Oxford Asset Mgnt., Ltd. v. Jaharis, 297 F.3d 1182, 1188 (11th Cir. 2002). Courts likewise may take note of public-record materials subject to judicial notice—even if those materials were not attached to the Complaint. Id. (citing cases).
190
+
191
+ The key point, then, is that Defendant's plea to two single-count charges under Florida law (one involving solicitation of prostitution — without regard to the prostitute's age — and one involving procurement of a minor for prostitution) does not remotely establish that Defendant committed any offense against Plaintiff much less that Defendant was convicted of violating any predicate federal statute that can give ground liability under § 2255. The official Florida judgment of conviction contains no reference to Plaintiff. See Exh. A. The official transcript of Defendant's plea colloquy makes clear that the state-law offenses to which he pleaded guilty took place in 2004 and 2005—years after the events alleged to give rise to this case.
192
+
193
+ THE COURT: State, please give me a factual basis.
194
+
195
+ MS. BELOHLAVEK: In 069454 CF AMB, between August 1, 2004 and October 31, 2005, the defendant in Palm Beach County did solicit or procure someone to commit pros[titution] on three or more occasions. And in 08 CF 9381 CF AMB between August 1, 2004 and October 9, 2005, the defendant did procure a minor under the age of 18 to commit prostitution in Palm Beach County also.
196
+
197
+ Exh. B at 41-42; compare id. with FAC 9 18 ("Plaintiff was first brought to Defendant's mansion in or about the spring of 2003.1 (emphasis added) and FAC ¶ 19 ("Defendant thereafter lured [Plaintiff] to [his home] on at least one and perhaps two other occasions in the spring and/or summer of 2003.") (emphasis added). These official records are subject to judicial notice, see, e.g., Coney v. Smith, 738 F.2d 1199, 1200 (11th Cir. 1984) (citing Moore v. Estelle, 526 F.2d 690, 694 (5th Cir. 1976)), and this Court can and should take note of them. Oxford Asset Mgnt., 297 F.3d at 1188.
198
+
199
+ But even if Defendants' state-law pleas did involve state-law offenses against Plaintiff which they did not—§ 2255 only authorizes suit based on predicate convictions under certain federal statutes: "Any minor who is a victim of a violation of section 2241(c), 2242, 2243, 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, 2260, 2421, 2422, or 2423 of this title ... may sue." 18 U.S.C. § 2255 (2003 & 2006). Needless to say, a conviction under Florida law is not a conviction under federal law, and there is no basis for accepting Plaintiffs assertion that Defendant's Florida pleas put him "in the same position as if he had been tried and convicted of the sexual offenses committed against Plaintiff and, as such, must admit liability unto Plaintiff." FAC ¶ 24. To reiterate, this Court may not accept "unwarranted deductions of facts or legal conclusions masquerading as facts" Oxford Asset Mgnt., 297 F.3d at 1188 (citing Fernandez-Montes, 987 F.2d at 284), and Plaintiffs contrary assertions "will not prevent dismissal." Id.
200
+
201
+ Because Plaintiff has not alleged—and cannot allege—that Defendant has been convicted of committing a predicate federal criminal offense against her, the FAC must be dismissed.
202
+
203
+ ### III. COUNT ONE OF THE FAC MUST BE DISMISSED BECAUSE IT DOES NOT PLEAD A VIOLATION OF 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b).
204
+
205
+ Count I of the FAC asserts a cause of action under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 predicated on a claim that Defendant violated 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b). As set forth above, this Count is legally unsustainable for the simple reason that Defendant has never been convicted of an offense under 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b). Supra at § II. In the alternative, Count I must be dismissed because the FAC does not make factual allegations that, even if true, would establish that Defendant violated § 2422(b) or that Plaintiff is the victim of such a violation. That statute provides:
206
+
207
+ Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate ... commerce ... knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual who has not attained the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title and imprisoned.
208
+
209
+ As the statute's text makes clear, the essence of this crime is the misuse of an interstate facility to communicate prohibited things—that is, the using of a means or facility of interstate commerce to persuade, induce, entice or coerce a person known by the defendant to be a minor to engage in prohibited sexual conduct—rather than the sexual conduct itself. As a result, the communication (the inducement of a known minor to engage in prohibited sexual conduct) must occur through the interstate facility (the mail, phone, or intemet)—not thereafter—and the scienter element must be present while the facility is being used. See United States v. Murrell, 368 F.3d 1283, 1286 (11th Cir. 2004) ("[T]he government must first prove that [Defendant], using the Internet, acted with a specific intent to persuade, induce, entice, or coerce a minor to engage in unlawful sex.") (emphasis added); United States v, Davis, 165 Fed. Appx. 586, 588 (10th Cir. 2006) ("[T]he government must show: `(1) use of a facility of interstate commerce; (2) to knowingly persuade, induce, entice, or coerce; (3) any individual who is younger than 18; (4) to engage in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempting to do so.") (quoting United States v. Thomas, 410 F.3d 1235, 1245 (10th Cir. 2005)).
210
+
211
+ A simple example illustrates this point. Suppose that a "John" walks to a downtown area where prostitutes are known to gather. He approaches several women, and asks each one how old she is. The first few women state that they are 18, but eventually one states that she is 16. The "John" then threatens to call the police unless she has intercourse with him. She does so; he pays her \$200 and walks away. There is no question that the "John" has knowingly solicited (and, indeed, coerced) prostitution from a minor in violation of state law. But there also is no question that the "John" cannot be convicted under 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b), because he did not use a facility of interstate commerce to coerce the victim: he merely talked to her in person. This point helps explain why the Eleventh Circuit recently noted that federal law "does not criminalize all acts of prostitution (a vice traditionally governed by state regulation)." United States v. Evans 476 F.3d 1176, n.1 (11th Cir. 2007); see also Offense Instruction 80, Eleventh
212
+
213
+ Circuit Pattern Jury Instructions—Criminal (2003) (instructing jury that it must find beyond reasonable doubt that "the Defendant knowingly used [the mail] [a computer] [describe other interstate facility as alleged in indictment] to attempt to persuade, induce, entice [or coerce] an individual under the age of eighteen (18) to engage in sexual activity") (emphasis added).
214
+
215
+ While the statute is unambiguous on this point, it bears note that this plain-text reading of the law finds additional support in the law's legislative history. Congress first enacted § 2422(b) as part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to combat sexual predators who solicit minors over the Internet. See H.R. Conf. Rep. No. 104-458, at 193 (1996) (expressing "the need for Congress to take effective action to protect children and families front online harm") (emphasis added); see also United States v. Searcy, 418 F.3d 1193, 1197 (11th Cir. 2005) (noting that Congress enacted § 2422(b) "after the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing regarding child endangerment via the Internet) (emphasis added). Prior to that time, § 2422 targeted only inducements to travel across state or national borders: "Whoever knowingly persuades, induces, entices or coerces any individual to travel in interstate or foreign commerce ... to engage in prostitution or any [criminal] sexual activity ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both." 18 U.S.C. § 2422 (1995). With no nexus to use of an interstate instrumentality, the existing law did nothing to address the problem of internet predators, whose conduct might have nothing to do with interstate or transnational travel.
216
+
217
+ Accordingly, when Congress added § 2422(b), it borrowed the predecessor statute's language about knowing persuasion, and—with an eye to online communications—criminalized the use of an interstate facility to knowingly persuade a minor to engage in otherwise unlawful conduct. Congress clearly was aiming at the use of the interne. to recruit minors into unlawful sexual activity—not in-person solicitation. See, e.g., 144 Cong. Rec. H4491-03, H4491 (statement of Rep. McCollum) (June 11, 1998) ("H.R. 3494 targets pedophiles who stalk children on the Internet. It prohibits contacting a minor over the Internet for the purposes of engaging in illegal sexual activity.").
218
+
219
+ This simple point is dispositive. The FAC never alleges that Defendant "persuade[d], induce[d], entice[d], or coerce[d]" Plaintiff to engage in prohibited sexual conduct "using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce." 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b). It does not allege that Defendant ever mailed Plaintiff anything, much less that he coerced her to engage in prohibited sexual activity by doing so. It does not allege that Defendant ever called or textmessaged Plaintiff, much less that he coerced her to engage in prohibited sexual activity by doing so. It does not allege that Defendant ever e-mailed or instant-messaged Plaintiff, much less that he coerced her to engage in prohibited sexual activity using any intemet technology.
220
+
221
+ To the contrary, the FAC alleges that Defendant's efforts to induce Plaintiff to engage in prohibited sexual conduct took place exclusively in person, without any use of an interstate means or facility. The FAC alleges that "in or about the spring of 2003," Plaintiff "was recruited by one of Defendant's agents to give Defendant a massage for compensation," and that Defendant's agent "drove [Plaintiff] to [Defendant's] mansion." FAC S 18. After she allegedly was led to the massage room, the FAC alleges that a topless woman "with dark hair [and] an accent ... tried to coax Plaintiff to remove her shirt." Id. Defendant entered the room, and eventually asked Plaintiff to massage his buttocks. Id. He then allegedly "ordered Plaintiff to remove her clothes," "began masturbating and fondling her breasts," and "asked her to do more," but "she adamantly declined." Id. She allegedly was paid \$200, and then driven away by Defendant's agent. Id. Plaintiff further alleges that she was "lured" to the mansion "on at least one and perhaps two other occasions in the spring and/or summer of 2003," but provides no details regarding those alleged encounters. Id. ¶ 19. Given the lack of any claim that Defendant used the mail, phone, or intemet to induce Plaintiff to engage in prohibited sexual conduct—and the FAC's admission that all alleged inducements and solicitations occurred in person, without use of an interstate instrumentality—Count One must be dismissed because it fails to provide
222
+
223
+ factual allegations that, if true, would show that Plaintiff is the victim of a violation of § 2242(b).
224
+
225
+ To be sure, Plaintiff does allege that "Defendant or an authorized agent would call and alert Defendant's assistants shortly before or after he arrived at his Palm Beach residence," FAC ¶ I I —just like any professional would alert his or her administrative assistant that he or she was coining to town. But Congress has not made that a crime, and even if Defendant's assistants later "would seek out economically disadvantaged and underage girls from West Palm Beach," id., it cannot reasonably be said that Defendant was "using the mail or any facility or means of interstate ... commerce [to] knowingly persuade[], induce[], entice[], or coerce[ a minor] to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity." 18 U.S.C. § 2242(b). Again, the statute only prohibits online or telephonic contact with minors—not with one's secretary.
226
+
227
+ Nor is it sufficient that Plaintiff baldly asserts that Defendant "traveled to his mansion in Palm Beach for the purpose of luring minor girls," and "used the telephone to contact these minor girls for the purpose of coercing them into acts of prostitution." 18 U.S.C. § 2242(b). These bald allegations cannot survive a motion to dismiss. See Jabal, slip op. at 14 ("Threadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by mere conclusory statements, do not suffice."); Twombly, 550 U.S. at 561 (it is not enough that "the pleadings le[ave] open the possibility that a plaintiff might later establish some set of undisclosed facts to support recovery") (quotation and alteration omitted). And even if they could, these unsupported claims do not demonstrate that this Plaintiff is entitled to relief: whether or not Defendant ever used to phone to contact some minor, a bare allegation that he called someone, sometime, does not remotely establish that he called Plaintiff—much less that he used the phone to coerce Plaintiff into engaging in prohibited sexual contact.
228
+
229
+ The bottom line is that Plaintiff would have alleged that Defendant called her and induced her over the phone to commit a prohibited sex act if she could, and she would have done so with at least the same amount of detail with which she has alleged the single encounter she
230
+
231
+ describes. But she hasn't—because she can't—and Count I must be dismissed with prejudice.
232
+
233
+ ## IV. COUNT TWO MUST BE DISMISSED BECAUSE IT DOES NOT PLEAD A VIOLATION OF 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b).
234
+
235
+ Count II of the FAC asserts a cause of action under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 predicated on a claim that Defendant violated 18 U.S.C. § 2423(6). Again, as set forth above, this Count is legally unsustainable for the simple reason that Defendant has never been convicted under § 2423(b). Supra at § II. In the alternative, Count II still must be dismissed because the FAC does not make factual allegations that, even if true, would establish that Defendant violated § 2423(b) or that Plaintiff is the victim of such a violation.
236
+
237
+ As a threshold matter, however, it bears note that the FAC's factual allegations arc so vague that it cannot be determined which version of 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b) even applies to this Count. Prior to April 30, 2003,18 U.S.C. § 2423(b) provided that:
238
+
239
+ A person who travels in interstate commerce, or conspires to do so, or a United States citizen or an alien admitted for permanent residence in the United States who travels in foreign commerce, or conspires to do so, for the purpose of engaging in any sexual act (as defined in section 2246) with a person under 18 years of age that would be in violation of chapter 109A if the sexual act occurred in the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 15 years, or both.
240
+
241
+ 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b) (2002) (emphasis added). On April 30, 2003, the Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to end the Exploitation of Children Today Act of 2003, or "PROTECT Act," Pub. L. No. 108-21, 117 Stat. 650, became effective, and § 2423 was amended to read:
242
+
243
+ A person who travels in interstate commerce or travels into the United States, or a United States citizen or an alien admitted for permanent residence in the United States who travels in foreign commerce, for the purpose of engaging in any illicit sexual conduct with another person shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both.
244
+
245
+ 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b) (2003) (emphasis added).
246
+
247
+ The obvious problem is that Plaintiff has not pleaded the dates on which the alleged travel or resulting sexual activity occurred. She merely alleges that she "was first brought to Defendant's mansion in or about the spring of 2003," FAC ¶ 18, and that she later was "lured ... to the Epstein mansion on at least one and perhaps two other occasions in the spring and/or summer of 2003." Id. ¶ 19. Since these vague allegations leave open the possibility that the alleged predicate conduct could have occurred either before or after the PROTECT Act's effective date, it is impossible to determine what law governs. No matter how generously one construes the pleading standards, they at least require allegations that are sufficiently precise to permit the Court to determine what law governs. Yet without alleging any specific dates, the FAC falls well short of that mark and ought to be dismissed for that reason alone.
248
+
249
+ Under either version of the statute, however, the key point is that § 2423 does not prohibit interstate travel that merely happens to result in illicit sexual conduct. Instead, the courts repeatedly have held that the statute applies only if the defendant's dominant motive for interstate travel was to engage in unlawful sexual activity. See, e.g., United States v. Tvkarsky, 446 F.3d 458, 471 (3d Cir. 2006) ("[T]he government must show that the criminal sexual act was a dominant purpose of the trip, not a merely incidental one.") (citing United States v. Hayward, 359 F.3d 631, 638 (3d Cir. 2004)) (emphasis added). That interpretation of the law is obviously correct. While § 2423(b) is relatively new—it first was enacted as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, Pub. L. No. 103-322, 108 Stat 1796, 2037—it was added to the Mann Act (first passed in 1910) and uses the identical "for the purpose of language set forth in the original version of that statute. See 18 U.S.C. § 2423(a) (1986). Accordingly, courts addressing § 2423(b) have relied on longstanding case law interpreting the Mann Act's use of the statutory phrase. See, e.g., United States v. Garcia-Lopez, 234 F.3d 217, 220 n.3 (5th Cir. 2000); United States v. yang, 128 F.3d 1065, 1069-70 (7th Cir. 1997); United States v. Ellis, 935 F.2d 385, 389-90 (1st Cir. 1991); see also United States v. Hoschouer, 224 Fed. Appx. 923, 926-27 (11th Cir. 2007) (unpublished opinion); cf. Gustafson v. Allovd Co.. Inc., 513 U.S. 561, 570 (1995) ("[W]e adhere[' to the normal rule ... that "identical words used in different parts of the same act are intended to have the same meaning.") (quotation and citation omitted).
250
+
251
+ Two Mann Act cases are particularly apt. In Hansen v. Half, 291 U.S. 559 (1934), the Government charged the defendant with violating the Mann Act after she returned to the country with a man with whom she was having "illicit relations." Id. at 561. Despite the fact that the woman intended to "continue her irregular and improper conduct [after] returning," the Court held that she had not violated the Act: "People not of good moral character like others, travel from place to place and change their residence. But to say that, because they indulge in illegal or immoral acts, they travel for that purpose, is to emphasize that which is incidental and ignore what is of primary significance." Id. at 562-63. Likewise, in Mortensen v. United States, 322 U.S. 369 (1944), defendants were convicted after two women they employed as prostitutes at their Nebraska brothel traveled to Utah and back, where they resumed their unlawful activities. Id. at 372. Again, the Supreme Court reversed: "An intention that the women or girls shall engage in the conduct outlawed by [the Mann Act] must be found to exist before the conclusion of the interstate journey and must be the dominant motive of such interstate movement. And the transportation must be designed to bring about such result." Id. at 374.
252
+
253
+ The FAC does not remotely allege that Defendant's dominant motive for traveling to Palm Beach "in or about the spring of 2003" was to engage in unlawful sexual activity. FAC ¶ 18. Instead, as the FAC makes clear, Defendant is a successful businessman who maintains homes and properties around the world. Id. q 8. Even if the FAC's fanciful allegations regarding Defendant's conduct while at those homes were true, the FAC does not remotely allege that his dominant motive for travel was to engage in illicit sexual acts (much less that he traveled with the dominant purpose of engaging in illicit activities with Plaintiff) or that his travel was specifically "designed to bring about such a result." Mortenson, 322 U.S. at 374. As lqbal and Twombly make clear, plaintiffs cannot withstand a motion to dismiss by baldy asserting that an offense occurred and holding out hope that they "might later establish some set of undisclosed
254
+
255
+ facts" to support the claim. Instead, each element must be supported by an adequate factual allegation. Twombly, 550 U.S. at 561; see also Iqbal, slip op. at 14 ("The plausibility standard ... asks for more than a sheer possibility that a defendant has acted unlawfully. Where a complaint pleads facts that are `merely consistent with' a defendant's liability, it `stops short of the line between possibility and plausibility of `entitlement to relief."') (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 557 (alteration in original)).
256
+
257
+ Indeed, Twombly itself supplies an excellent parallel. Plaintiffs there alleged that the defendants engaged in coordinated activities that violated the antitrust laws, and asserted that defendants thus must have agreed to restrain trade. As the Court observed, however, plaintiffs' otherwise specific allegations of parallel conduct were as likely innocent as they were consistent an agreement to restrain trade:
258
+
259
+ [Ain allegation of parallel conduct and a bare assertion of conspiracy will not suffice. Without more, parallel conduct does not suggest conspiracy, and a conclusory allegation of agreement at some unidentified point does not supply facts adequate to show illegality. Hence, when allegations of parallel conduct are set out..., they must be placed in a context that raises a suggestion of a preceding agreement, not merely parallel conduct that could just as well be independent.
260
+
261
+ Id. at 556-57.
262
+
263
+ So too here. The mere fact that Defendant traveled between his residences and allegedly engaged in illicit conduct while at his homes hardly suggests that the dominant purpose of his travel was to engage in illicit sexual activity. Instead, Defendant's travel is equally consistent with the truth: that his vast business operations and charitable activities required frequent travel, and that any sexual activity—legal or not—that occurred was incidental to the legitimate purposes that motivated his trips. See, e.g., Hansen, 291 U.S. at 562-63 ("[TJo say that, because [persons) indulge in illegal or immoral acts, they travel for that purpose, is to emphasize that which is incidental and ignore what is of primary significance."). Without more, the FAC thus fails to allege facts that, even if true, would establish that Defendant engaged in the sort of sex
264
+
265
+ tourism that violates 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b), or that Plaintiff herself is the victim of such an offense. See Twombly, 550 U.S. at 557. Count II muse be dismissed.
266
+
267
+ ## V. COUNT THREE MUST BE DISMISSED BECAUSE IT DOES NOT PLEAD A VIOLATION OF 18 U.S.C. § 2251.
268
+
269
+ Count III of the FAC asserts a cause of action under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 predicated on allegations that Defendant violated 18 U.S.C. § 2251. Again, as set forth above, this Count is legally unsustainable for the simple reason that Defendant has never been convicted under § 2251. Supra at § II. In the alternative, Count III still must be dismissed because the FAC does not make factual allegations that, even if true, would establish that Defendant violated 18 U.S.C. § 2251 or that Plaintiff is the victim of such a violation.
270
+
271
+ Yet again, Plaintiff's failure adequately to plead the dates on which the alleged predicate conduct occurred makes it impossible to detennine which version of § 2251 applies in this case. Prior to April 30, 2003, § 2251 provided that:
272
+
273
+ Any person who employs, uses, persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any minor to engage in ... any sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing any visual depiction of such conduct, shall be punished ... if such person knows or has reason to know that such visual depiction will be transported in intestate or foreign commerce or mailed, if that visual depiction was produced using materials that have been mailed, shipped, or transported in interstate or foreign commerce by any means, including by computer, or if such visual depiction has actually been transported in interstate or foreign commerce or mailed.
274
+
275
+ 18 U.S.C. § 2251 (2002) (emphasis added). As with § 2423(b), however, Congress made significant changes to the statute when the PROTECT Act became effective on April 30, 2003:
276
+
277
+ My person who employs, uses, persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any minor to engage in ... any sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing any visual depiction of such conduct or for the purpose of transmitting a live visual depiction of such conduct, shall be punished ... if such person knows or has reason to know that such visual depiction will be transported or transmitted using any means or facility of interstate or foreign commerce or in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce or mailed, if that visual depiction was produced or transmitted using materials that have been mailed, shipped, or transported in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce by any means, including by computer, or if such visual depiction has actually been transported or transmitted using any means or facility of interstate or foreign commerce or in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce or mailed.
278
+
279
+ 18 U.S.C. § 2251 (2003) (emphasis added; underscored to denote amended text).
280
+
281
+ Under either version, however, Count III must be dismissed because Plaintiff fails to plead that Defendant's dominant motive for enticing her to engage in sexual conduct was to produce images of that conduct; that Defendant actually produced an image of Plaintiff; or that Defendant either knew that the resulting images would be transported in interstate commerce or actually transported or transmitted those photographs in interstate commerce. Instead, the FAC alleges only that Defendant displayed photos of other women in his homes and on his computer, see FAC at ¶¶ 14 & 16, and "may have taken lewd photographs of Plaintiff ... and may have transported lewd photographs of Plaintiff ... to his other residences and elsewhere using a facility or means of interstate and/or foreign commerce." Id. ¶¶ 16 & 34 (emphasis added).
282
+
283
+ Those speculative assertions are insufficient to sustain Plaintiff's burden at the pleading stage. In our legal system, defendants cannot properly be subjected to the burden and expense of discovery—and the accompanying pressure to settle��based on claims that they "may have" done something wrong. Instead, "the complaint's allegations must plausibly suggest that the plaintiff has a right to relief, raising that possibility above a speculative level; if they do not, the plaintiffs complaint should be dismissed." James River Ins. Co. v. Ground Down Ena'a, Inc., 540 F.3d 1270, 1274 (11th Cir. 2008) (citation and quotation omitted); see also Iqbal, slip op. at 15 (complaint must be dismissed "where the well-pleaded facts do not permit the court to infer more than the mere possibility of misconduct") (emphasis added); Bawa v. U.S., No. C 07- 00200 WHA, 2007 WL 1456040, \*5 (N.D. Cal. May 17, 2007) (dismissing complaint alleging that defendant "may have played a substantial role" in the underlying crime).
284
+
285
+ Plaintiff has not remotely alleged that a crime actually was committed, and if she could have done so in good faith, there is little doubt that she would have. Having failed to push her claims from the realm of the possible into the realm of the plausible, there is no basis for allowing Plaintiff to proceed. Count III must be dismissed with prejudice.
286
+
287
+ ## VI. COUNTS FOUR AND FIVE MUST BE DISMISSED BECAUSE THEY DO NOT PLEAD VIOLATIONS OF 18 U.S.C. §§ 2252(aX1) OR 2252A(aX1).
288
+
289
+ Count IV of the FAC asserts a cause of action under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 predicated on allegations that Defendant violated 18 U.S.C. § 2252(aX1). Count V of the FAC asserts a cause of action under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 predicated on allegations that Defendant violated 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(1). Again, as set forth above, these Counts are legally unsustainable for the simple reason that Defendant has never been convicted under § 2252(aXI) or § 2252A(a)(1). Supra at § II. In the alternative, Counts IV and V still must be dismissed because the FAC does not make factual allegations that, even if true, would establish that Defendant violated either statute or that Plaintiff is a victim of such a violation. By its plain terms, § 2252(aX1) provides:
290
+
291
+ Any person who ... knowingly transports or ships using any means or facility of interstate or foreign commerce ... any visual depiction, if ... the producing of such visual depiction involves the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct and ... such visual depiction is of such conduct ... shall be punished as provided in subsection (b) of this section.
292
+
293
+ 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(1) (2002 & 2003) (emphasis added). Similarly, the pre- and post-PROTECT Act versions of § 2252A(aX1) provide:
294
+
295
+ Any person who ... knowingly mails, or transports or ships in interstate or foreign commerce by any means, including by computer, any child pornography ... shall be punished as provided [by law].
296
+
297
+ 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(aX1) (2002 & 2003) (emphasis added). In turn, the term "child pornography" was defined both pm- and post-PROTECT Act, and in relevant part, as:
298
+
299
+ any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, picture, or computer or computer-generated image or picture... of sexually explicit conduct, where ... the production of such visual depiction involves the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
300
+
301
+ 18 U.S.C. § 2256(8) (2002 & 2003).
302
+
303
+ As with Count III, however, the MC does not remotely allege that Plaintiff is a victim of a violation of §§ 2252(aX1) or 2252A(aX1). Instead, the FAC alleges only that Defendant
304
+
305
+ displayed photos of other unidentified women in his homes and on his computer, see FAC at 111 14 & 16, and "may have taken lewd photographs of Plaintiff ... with his hidden cameras and may have transported lewd photographs of Plaintiff ... to his other residences and elsewhere using a facility or means of interstate and/or foreign commerce." FAC ¶1 16, 38, 43 (emphasis added). Again, it simply is not enough to allege that Defendant "may have" done something wrong: "the complaint's allegations must plausibly suggest that the plaintiff has a right to relief, raising that possibility above a speculative level; if they do not, the plaintiff's complaint should be dismissed." James River Ins. Co., 540 F.3d at 1274 (citation and quotation omitted); see also lqbal, slip op. at 15 (holding the a complaint must be dismissed "where the well-pleaded facts do not permit the court to infer more than the mere possibility of misconduct") (emphasis added). Because the FAC only speculates that Defendant "may have" committed a crime, and because Plaintiff surely would have charged that Defendant actually committed a crime if she had a good-faith basis for doing so, Counts IV and V must be dismissed with prejudice.
306
+
307
+ ### VII. COUNT SIX MUST BE DISMISSED BECAUSE 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(g) WAS NOT ENACTED UNTIL 2006.
308
+
309
+ Count VI of the FAC asserts a cause of action under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 predicated on allegations that Defendant violated 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(g). Again, as set forth above, this Count is legally unsustainable for the simple reason that Defendant has never been convicted under § 2251. Supra at § H. In the alternative, Count VI still must be dismissed because § 2252A(g) was not enacted until 2006—three years after the alleged conduct underlying this case took place. See Pub. L. 109-248, Title VII, § 701, July 27, 2006, 120 Stat. 614, 647. As set forth above, supra § I.B.2, the Ex Post Facto Clause flatly precludes the application of new statutes to conduct completed prior to the statute's enactment, and there is any event no indication that Congress intended to apply this provision of the Adam Walsh Act retroactively to completed conduct. See supra § 1.8.1 (noting that Congress expressly made certain provisions of the Adam Walsh Act retroactive, but not others). Thus, while Plaintiff has not adequately pleaded a violation of § 2252A(g) in the first place, there is no lawful basis under which she could assert a cause of action predicated on that statute. Count VI must be dismissed with prejudice.
310
+
311
+ ## VIII. ANY SURVIVING COUNTS SHOULD BE MERGED INTO A SINGLE COUNT.
312
+
313
+ While we respectfully submit that none of the FAC's counts are viable and that each should be dismissed with prejudice, this Court should require the merger of all claims into a single count to the extent it rejects the foregoing analysis and allows more than one count to proceed. Contrary to Plaintiff's attempt to multiply her recovery by asserting six separate counts, § 2255 creates a single cause of action with a single penalty for all violations of a predicate offense, not separate causes of action and separate recoveries on a "per violation" basis. We have not found a single precedent where a § 2255 plaintiff has been allowed to assert claims on a "per violation" basis—each of the prior cases (including the prior cases involving this defendant in this Court) involved a single count predicated on multiple alleged violations of predicate criminal statutes. See Tilton v. Playboy Entertainment Grotto. Inc., 554 F.3d 1371 (11th Cir. Jan. 15, 2009); Smith, 428 F. Supp. 2d at 432; Doe, 478 F. Supp. 2d at 754; Doe No. 2 v. Epstein, 2009 WL 383332 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 12, 2009); Poe No. 3 v. Epstein, 2009 WL 383330 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 12, 2009); Doe No. 4 v. Epstein, 2009 WL 383286 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 12, 2009); and Poe No. 5 v. Epstein 2009 WL 383383 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 12, 2009).
314
+
315
+ There is no basis for indulging Plaintiff's contrary approach. Instead, the plain language and structure of the statute foreclose Plaintiff's unprecedented approach. First, the order of the two sentences establishing the statutory penalty under § 2255(a) demonstrate that Congress did not mean to allow for a minimum mandatory recovery in the amount of \$50,000 for each predicate violation. The first sentence provides that "[a]ny person who ... suffers personal injury as a result of such violation ... shall recover the actual damages such person sustains and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee." 18 U.S.C. § 2255(a) (emphasis added).
316
+
317
+ Then, in recognition of the fact that damages in these cases may be hard to prove, the second sentence provides for recovery of a minimum amount: "Any minor as described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$50,000." Id. Together, these provisions indicate that Congress intended to provide restitution to victims—that is, to award them "actual damages"—but that where actual damages were less than \$50,000 or otherwise impossible to prove, the statute would guarantee a lump-sum, make-whole penalty of \$50,000 for all injuries sustained as a result of the predicate acts.
318
+
319
+ Moreover, the fact that Congress did not expressly provide for damages on a "per violation" basis further underscores the fact that Congress sought to provide only a lump-sum recovery for all injuries sustained by a victim. After all, while Congress knows exactly how to provide for damages on a "per violation" basis when it wants to, it did not do so here. See, e.g., 18 U.S.C. § 216 (authorizing a "civil action ... against any person who engages in conduct constituting an offense under" specified sections of the bribery, graft, and conflicts of interest statutes, and authorizing "a civil penalty of not more than \$50,000 for each violation or the amount of compensation which the person received or offered for the prohibited conduct, which ever amount is greater") (emphasis added); see also 18 U.S.C. § 49; 18 U.S.C. § 1034; 18 U.S.C. § 2318. As the Eleventh Circuit repeatedly has explained, "where Congress knows how to say something but chooses not to, its silence is controlling." Delgadq\_v. United States Att'y Gen., 487 F.3d 855, 862 (11th Cir. 2007) (quoting CBS. 245 F.3d at 1226 (itself quoting Griffith, 206 F.3d at 1394 with citation and quotations omitted))) (alteration omitted).
320
+
321
+ Because the statute provides a single cause of action with a single remedy, this Court should order Plaintiff to merge all surviving claims—if any—into a single count.
