At all relevant times, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein") was an adult male, approximately 52 years old.

Epstein's scheme involved the use of young girls to recruit underage girls. These underage girls were recruited ostensibly to give a wealthy man amassage for monetary compensation in his Palm Beach mansion. Epstein, upon information and belief, generally sought out economically disadvantaged underage girls from western Palm Beach County who would be enticed by the money + +being offered - generally \$200 to \$300 per "massage" session - and who were perceived as less likely to complain to authorities or have credibility if allegations of improper conduct were made. This was an important element of Epstein's plan. + +12. Epstein's plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method. The underage victim would be brought or directed to Epstein's mansion, where she would be led up a flight of stairs to a bedroom that contained a massage table in addition to other furnishings. The girl would then find herself alone in the room with Epstein, who would be wearing only a towel. He would then remove his towel and lie naked on the massage table, and direct the girl to remove her clothes. Epstein would then perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, including masturbation. + +13. Consistent with the foregoing plan and scheme, when Jane Doe was only 13 years old, she was recruited by another girl to give Epstein a massage for monetary compensation. Jane was brought to Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach. Once there, she was led up the flight of stairs to the room with the massage table. Epstein came into the room and directed Jane to remove her clothes and give him a massage. As directed by Epstein, Jane stripped to her underwear. Epstein then sexually assaulted Jane during the massage. hi addition, Epstein masturbated during the massage. Epstein then paid Jane money. + +14. As a result of this encounter with Epstein, Jane experienced confusion, shame, humiliation and embarrassment, and has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries. + +#### COUNT I Sexual Assault and Batten + +15.

Rules 12(b)(6) and 12(e), Fed.R.Civ.P. (2008). In support of his motion, Defendant states: + +## Introduction + +Defendant previously filed motions to dismiss and for more definite statement directed to the Amended Complaints filed against Defendant in this Court in JANE DOE NO. 2 (Case No. 08-CV-80119-Marra), JANE DOE NO. 3 (Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra, ), JANE DOE NO. 4 (Case No. 08-CV-80380-Marra ), and JANE DOE NO. 5 (Case No. 08-CV-80381-Marra). Defendant is also filing similar motions in the actions filed by JANE DOE NO. 6 (Case No. 08-CV-80994- Marra/Johnsn), and JANE DOE NO. 7 (Case No. 08-CV-80993-Hurley. ). The motions are directed to the Counts for Count I - "Sexual Assault and Battery," andCount III - "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422" in each + +of the respective complaints. However, there are distinctions in the six motions filed based on the complaint allegations. For example, in the previously filed four motions (Jane Doe Nos. 2 through 5), Defendant challenged the Plaintiffs' allegations as to assault in all four actions, and challenged the battery allegations in JANE DOE NOS. 2 and 3, but not in JANE DOE NOS. 4 and 5. Defendant moved to dismiss the §2422 count in all four of the JANE DOE Nos. 2 through 5 actions. As to JANE DOE NO. 6, Defendant challenges the battery allegations, but does not as to JANE DOE NO. 7 as the underlying facts of the requisite "touching" are alleged. Defendant challenges the 18 U.S.C. §2422 count in both JANE DOE NO. 6 and NO. 7. + +## Motion + +1. Counts I and III of JANE DOE NO. 6's Complaint are required to be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Rule 12(b)(6). Plaintiff has failed to allege sufficient factual allegations in the Counts and instead alleges labels and conclusions, and an attempted formulaic recitation of the elements in each Count. + +2. In the alternative or in conjunction with, Defendant seeks more definite statement of Count I and III. In Count I, the Plaintiff is required to more definitely allege what was done to her; what EPSTEIN said and did, if anything, to create fear and apprehension in Plaintiff; what was the intentional offensive or harmful contact in pleading the elements of assault and battery. In Count III, Plaintiff is required to more definitely state the underlying factual allegations to support her claim as set forth in the statute, 18 U.S.C. §2422(b) and §2455. Rule 12(e). See discussion of law below herein. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Court dismiss Counts I and III, and require Plaintiff to more definitely plead the underlying elements of her claims. + +#### Supporting Memorandum of Law Standard on Rule 12(b)(6) Motion To Dismiss + +As established by the Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp. V. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. 1955 (2007), a motion to dismiss should be granted if the plaintiff does not plead "enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Id, at 1974. Although the complaint need not provide detailed factual allegations, the basis for relief in the complaint must state "more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do." Id, at 1965. Further, "[f]actual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level ... on the assumption that all the allegations in the complaint are true (even if doubtful in fact)." Id. On a motion to dismiss, the well pleaded allegations of plaintiff's complaint are taken as true and construed in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. M.T.V. v. DeKalb County Sch. Dist., 446 F.3d 1153, 1156 (11th Cir.2006). + +Significantly, the Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp. V. Twombly abrogated the often cited observation that "a complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove not set of facts in support of his claim that would entitle him to relief." Id, (abrogating and quoting Conley 355 U.S. 41, 45-46, 78 S.Ct. 99, 102, 2 L.Ed.2d 80 (1957)). The Supreme Court rejected the notion that "a wholly conclusory statement of claim [can] survive a motion to dismiss whenever the pleadings le[ave] open the possibility that a plaintiff might later establish some 'set of [undisclosed] facts' to support recovery." Id. As explained by the Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp. supra at 1664-65: + +While a complaint attacked by a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss does not need detailed factual allegations ibid: Sanivan v. American Bd. of Psychiatry and Neurology, Inc. 40 F.3d 247, 251 (C.A.7 1994), a plaintiff's obligation to provide the "grounds" of his "entitle[ment] to relief" requires + +> more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do, see Papasan v. Allain, 478 U.S. 265, 286, 106 S.Ct. 2932, 92 L.Ed.2d 209 (1986) (on a motion to dismiss, courts "are not bound to accept as true a legal conclusion couched as a factual allegation"). Factual allegations mu§Lbgjnougbja raise a right to relief above the speculative level, see 5 C. & A. , Fed cti Procedure § 1216, pp. 235-236 (3d ed.2004) (hereinafter & ) ("ripe pleading must contain something more ... than ... a statement of facts that merely creates a suspicion (of] a legally cognizable right of action"), on the assumption that all the allegations in the complaint are true (even if doubtful in fact), see, e.g., Swierkiewicz v. Sorema Nisai ug U.S. 506, 508, n. 1, 122 S.Ct. 992, 152 L.Ed.2d 1 (2002); Neitzke v.MM 490 U.S. 319, 327, 109 S.Ct. 1827, 104 L.Ed.2d 338 (1989) (" Rule 12(b)(6) does not countenance ... dismissals bas judge's disbelief of a complaint's factual allegations"). Scheuer v. 416 U.S. 232, 236, 94 S.Ct. 1683, 40 L.Ed.2d 90 (1974) (a well-pleaded complaint may proceed even if it appears "that a recovery is very remote and unlikely"). + +Pursuant to Rule 12(e), a party may move for more definite statement of a pleading to which a responsive pleading is allowed where the pleading "is so vague or ambiguous that the party cannot reasonably frame a response." The motion is required to point out the defects and the desired details. Id. + +#### Count I — "Sexual Assault and Battery" is subject to dismissal as Plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. + +It is well settled that this Court is to apply Florida substantive law in this action. Erie R.Co. v. Tompkins, 58 S.Ct. 817 (1938). Pursuant to Florida law, although the term "assault and battery" is most commonly referred to as if it were a legal unit, or a single concept, "assault and battery are separate and distinct legal concepts, assault being the beginning of an act which, if consummated, constitutes battery." 3A FIa.Jur.2d Assault §1. An assault and battery are intentional acts. See generally, Spivey v. Battaglia 258 So.2d 815 (Fla. 1972); and Travelers Indem. Co. v. PCR, Inc., 889 So.2d 779 (Fla. 2004). + +An "assault" is an intentional, unlawful offer of corporal injury to another by force, or exertion of force directed toward another under such circumstances as to create a reasonable fear of imminent peril. See Lay v. Kremer, 411 So.2d 1347 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982). It must be premised upon an affirmative act - a threat to use force, or the actual exertion of force. See 3A Fla.Jur.2d Assault §1("The essential element of the tort of assault is the violence offered, and not actual physical contact."). + +Tort of "battery" consists of the infliction of a harmful or offensive contact upon another with the intent to cause such contact or the apprehension that such contact is imminent. Quilling v. Price, 894 So.2d 1061 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005); v. Atlantic Federal Savings & Loan 454 So.2d 52 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984)("a battery consists of the intentional infliction of a harmful or offensive contact upon the person of another"). See 3A FIa.Jur.2d Assault §1. + +With the standard of pleading established in Twomblv, supra, in the context of the elements for assault and battery, Plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Rule 12(b)(6). As to the elements of assault, here are no factual allegations as to what was said or done to Plaintiff such that it constituted an "intentional, unlawful offer of corporal injury to another by force, or exertion of force directed toward another under such circumstances as to create a reasonable fear of imminent peril." See ¶13 of Comp. The same is true for the claim of battery. Plaintiff makes the general allegation that "he (Defendant) sexually assaulted Jane." The other allegations in ¶13 pertain to what Plaintiff allegedly did. Under applicable law, Plaintiff is required to give more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action. Twomblv supra. Plaintiff is required to allege the facts + +of what was done to her; what EPSTEIN said and did, if anything, to create fear and apprehension in Plaintiff; what was the intentional offensive or harmful contact? + +As noted in the introduction and as this Court is well aware, there is more than one action brought against this Defendant attempting to allege similar sounding claims. The details as to a particular claim asserted by a particular Plaintiff are important to give this Defendant fair notice of Plaintiffs claim so he may properly respond. Accordingly, under applicable law, Plaintiff has failed to state a claim for sexual assault and battery. + +In the alternative to dismissing Count I, Defendant requests that Plaintiff be required to give more definite statement as to what was done to her; what EPSTEIN said and did, if anything, to create fear and apprehension in Plaintiff; what was the intentional offensive or harmful contact in pleading the elements of assault and battery. Rule 12(e). + +Count III — "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. 62422" - is subject to dismissal as Plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be wanted. Rule 12(b)(6). + +Count III of Plaintiffs Complaint attempts to assert a claim for "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422." In her prayer for relief, Plaintiff demands judgment against EPSTEIN "for all damages available under 18 U.S.C. §2255(a), ." Count III is required to be dismissed as Plaintiff has failed to state a claim under the statutes for which relief can be granted. + +The applicable version of these statutory provisions, (pre-2006 Amendments, as the Amended Complaint alleges a time period of "in or about 2004," ¶9), provides: + +## CHAPTER 117-TRANSPORTATION FOR ILLEGAL SEXUAL ACTIVITY AND RELATED CRIMES § 2422. Coercion and enticement + +> (a) Whoever knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual to travel in interstate or foreign commerce, or in any Territory or Possession of the United States, to engage in prostitution, or in 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 or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. + +> (b) Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States 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 not less than 5 years and not more than 30 years. + +## CHAPTER 110-SEXUAL EXPLOITATION AND OTHER ABUSE OF CHILDREN + +# § 2255. Civil remedy for personal injuries + +(a) 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 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. + +(b) Any action commenced under this section shall be barred unless the complaint is filed within six years after the right of action first accrues or in the case of a person under a legal disability, not later than three years after the disability. + +Relevant to Plaintiffs complaint, 18 U.S.C. 2255(a) creates a civil remedy for "a minor who is a victim of a violation of section ... 2422 ... of this title and who suffers personal injury as a result of such violation ... ." Plaintiff has failed to plead any factual allegations whatsoever pertaining to violations of 18 U.S.C. 2422. Rather, Plaintiff has alleged conclusory allegations simply attempting to track parts of the statutory language in the statute without underlying factual allegations pertaining to the Plaintiff and any conduct by Defendant. See ¶28 of Comp. Plaintiffs allegations, (or lack of factual + +allegations), are precisely what the standard set forth by the Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp. prohibits — Plaintiffs complaint alleges only "labels and conclusions, and a (partial) formulaic recitation of the elements." + +First, the Complaint fails to designate whether Plaintiff is relying on §2422(a) or §2422(b). Second, although the complaint does contain a partial tracking of the language in 18 U.S.C. §2422(b), it contains absolutely no factual allegations conceming the requisite "using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce" by Plaintiff to state a cause of action based on a violation of 18 U.S.C. 2422(b). As well, there are no underlying factual allegations involving this Plaintiff as to the requisite elements that a defendant knowingly persuaded, induced, enticed, or coerced any individual (Plaintiff in this case) 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 attempted to do so. See 18 U.S.C. 2422(b); i.e. with what criminal offense could Plaintiff and Defendant have been charged. Again, a Plaintiff cannot simply track the language of a statute without some underlying factual allegations to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Accordingly, Count III is required to be dismissed. + +In the alternative, Plaintiff should be required to more definitely state the underlying factual allegations to support her claim as set forth in the statute, 18 U.S.C. §2422(b) and §2455. + +## Conclusion + +As discussed above herein, under the pleading standard established in Twombly supra, and law concerning the elements of Count I and III, Plaintiff has failed to state claims upon which relief can be granted. Rule 12(b)(6). Plaintiffs complaint lacks + +underlying factual allegations and, thus, in the alternative to dismissal or in conjunction with, Plaintiff is required to more definitely state the requisite factual allegations. + +**Certificate of Service** + +I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true copy of the foregoing was electronically filed with the Clerk of the Court using CM/ECF.

Introduction and Stinunars + +Defendant's Motions to Dismiss and for More Definite Statement filed in each of the abovecaptioned cases pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(6)(6) and 12(e) essentially concede that Plaintiffs have alleged the elements of the claims asserted in Counts I and III of each pleading, but contend that more factual allegations are necessary for these claims. The pleadings at issue contain a short and plain statement of the claims showing that the Plaintiffs are entitled to relief in accordance with Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2). The specific facts sought by Defendant may properly be the subject of discovery, but are not necessary for purposes of pleading. Accordingly, Defendant's Motions are without merit and should be denied in their entirety. + +### II. Facts Plead + +The pleadings in these six cases are all similarly structured and assert the same claims. In the section entitled "Factual Allegations" each describes the plan and scheme of Defendant Epstein to recruit underage girls to his Palm Beach mansion for "massages". (Jane Doe No. 2 Amd. Compl. 10-11; Jane Doe No. 3 Amd. Comp.1 10-11; Jane Doe No. 4 Amd. Comp/.111-12; Jane Doe No. 5 Amd. Compl. 1 10-11; Jane Doe No. 6 Amd. Compl.111-12; Jane Doe No. 7 Amd. Comp1.1 11-12). The pleading then alleges that, consistent with this scheme, the Plaintiff was lured to Epstein's Palm Beach mansion to give a massage for monetary compensation. (Jane Doe No. 2 Amd. Compl. 1 12; (Jane Doe No. 3 Amd. Compl. 1 12; Jane Doe No. 4 Amd. Compl. 1 13; Jane Doe No. 5 Amd. Comp'. 1 12; Jane Doe No. 6 Amd. Comp!. 1 13; Jane Doe No. 7 Amd. Compl. 1 13). The Plaintiff was directed up a flight of stairs to a room where Epstein instructed the Plaintiff to remove her clothes and give him a massage. Epstein then masturbated and sexually assaulted the Plaintiff during this massage. (Jane Doe No. 2 Amd. Compl. 112; Jane Doe No. 3 Amd. Compl. 112; Jane Doe No. 4 Amd. Comp!. 113; Jane Doe No. 5 Amd. Compl. 112; Jane Doe No. 6 Amd. Compl. 113; Jane Doe No. 7 Amd. Compl. 113). + +Count I of the pleading in each case alleges a claim of sexual assault and battery. Count II alleges a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress, which Defendant does not seek to dismiss in his Motions before the Court. Count HI alleges a claim for coercion and enticement to sexual activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422. Defendant's Motions to Dismiss seek dismissal of Counts I and III for failure to state a claim under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(bX6), or alternatively move for a more definite statement under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(e) on these Counts. As discussed below, Plaintiffs' claims are sufficiently plead, and Defendant's Motions should be denied in their entirety. + +# III. Argument + +## A. THE STANDARD UNDER FED.R.CIV.P. 12(b)(6) DOES NOT SUPPORT DISMISSAL + +The gravamen of Defendant's Motion is that Plaintiffs' have not pled sufficient facts in support of their claims in Counts I and III. According to Defendant, the pleadings in this case do not satisfy "the standard of pleading" established in Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly 127 S.Ct. 1955 (2007). In making this argument, Defendant would extend Twomblv well beyond its intended scope. + +Twombly was an antitrust conspiracy case, in which the Court abrogated the longstanding pronouncement first made in Con 355 U.S. 41 (1957), that a complaint should not be dismissed under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(bX6) "unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim that would entitle him to relief." 127 S.Ct. at 1969. The Court noted that it did "not require heightened fact pleading of specifics, but only enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Id. at 1974 (emphasis supplied). The antitrust conspiracy claim before the Court was dismissed "[b]t:cause the plaintiffs here have not nudged their claims across the line from conceivable to plausible...." Id. + +Since Twombly, courts and commentators have grappled with the case's meaning and scope. Courts within the Eleventh Circuit have held that Twombly did not alter the standard for dismissal under Rule 12(bX6) in the typical case. See, e.g.,CBT Flint Partners, LLC v. Goodmail Systems, Inc 529 F.Supp. 2d 1376, 1379 (N.D. Ga. 2007); Coughlin v. Wal-Mart Stores East LP 2008 WL 2704381 (M.D. Fla. 2008); Capaz v. Whitaker, Weinstraub & Grizzard. M.D.S. P.A., 2007 WL 1655473 (M.D. Fla. 2007). In CBT Flint Partners the Court warned against reading the decision in Trombly too broadly: + +In my view, Trombly did not radically alter the elementary rules of civil procedure that have governed litigation in the federal courts for the past seventy years. The Court's forced retirement of Conley v. "no set of facts" language does not change the fundamental command of Rule 8 as to what a valid complaint must look like. Indeed, the Court made clear that it was not imposing a heightened pleading standard. As a general matter, I am loath to assume that the Supreme Court circumvented the normal channels for amending the Federal Rules. The Court's "new standard" was merely a specific way to articulate a solution to what it perceived to be a specific pleading problem, in a specific area of law that inflicted a high cost upon antitrust defendants. It was not a broad based new license for federal courts to ramp up pleading requirements. + +529 F.Supp. 2d at 1379 (citations omitted). + +The standard for pleading in the federal courts remains controlled by Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2), which "only requires a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief in order to give the defendant fair notice of what the claim is and the grounds upon which it rests." Capaz, 2007 WL 1655473 at \*1. While the scope of Twombly may not be entirely clear. It plainly cannot be read to turn pleadings into a discovery device, as Defendant advocates here in seeking dismissal for failure to plead detailed factual allegations. + +In Iqbal v. Hasty 490 F.3d 143 (2d Cir. 2007), the Court reviewed and analyzed in depth Twombly's "conflicting signals", and ultimately held that the Supreme Court did not impose "a universal standard of heightened fact pleading," but rather a "flexible 'plausibility standard' ". Id. at 157-158. This standard "obliges a pleader to amplify a claim with some factual allegations in those contexts where such amplification is needed to render the claim plausible." Id. (emphasis original). See also Sales v. All Florida Dialysis Services, Inc., 2007 WL 3231723 \*2 n.2 (S.D. Fla. 2007) (noting that Twomblv was inapplicable because the defendants did not raise the type of pleading deficiencies confronted in Twombly - lack of specific time, place or person involved in the alleged antitrust conspiracies). + +The instant allegations and claims cannot be compared to the speculative antitrust conspiracy alleged in Twombly. See 127 S.Ct. at 1965. There should be no doubt that the Plaintiffs' claims are plausible. Accordingly Twombley is not authority for dismissal of the pleadings in these cases. + +## II. THE ELEMENTS OF COUNT I FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT AND BATTERY ARE SUFFICIENTLY ALLEGED + +In each case, the claim in Count I is labeled "Sexual Assault and Battery." Assault and battery are closely related common law intentional torts that are often alleged together. See Herzfeld v. Herzfeld 781 So.2d 1070 (Fla.2001) (noting that plaintiff alleged intentional ton of "assault and battery" based on allegations of sexual abuse); v. Atlantic Federal Savings & Loan, 454 So.2d 52 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984) (holding that a cause of action for assault and battery cannot be based entirely on an omission). A common law assault occurs when a person "acts intending to cause a harmful or offensive contact with the person of the other, or an imminent apprehension of such contact, and the other is thereby put in such imminent apprehension". Restatement (Second) of Tons, Assault §21 (1965). "A battery consists of the infliction of a harmful or offensive contact upon another with the intent to cause such contact or the apprehension that such contact is imminent". See Paul v. Holbrook, 696 So.2d 1371 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997). See also Scelta v. Delicatessen Support Services. Inc. 57 F.Supp. 2d 1327, 1358-59 (M.D. Ha. 1999) (allegation that defendant attempted to put his hands down plaintiff's dress, and that there was an actual and intentional touching, sufficient to state a claim for battery); Hogan v. Tavzel 660 So.2d 350 (Ha. 5th DCA 1995) (tortfeasor may be liable for battery for infecting another with a sexually transmitted disease). + +Defendant does not contend that the Plaintiffs failed to allege these elements of the common law tons of assault and battery in Count I of their pleadings. Rather, Defendant argues that the pleadings fail to allege the specific facts of "what was said or done to Plaintiff". Defendant thus misconstrues Twombly. All of the Plaintiffs allege essentially the same plan and scheme of Defendant to lure underage girls to his Palm Beach mansion for "massages", leading to Defendant engaging in sexual activities with the Plaintiffs. The specific facts concerning what was said and done prior to and during the course of these "massages" is the proper subject of discovery, not the pleadings. Plaintiffs satisfy the pleading requirements of Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2), and Twombly does not require more specific fact pleading in these cases. + +## III. PLAINTIFFS SUFFICIENTLY ALLEGE A CLAIM IN COUNT III FOR VIOLATION OF 18 U.S.C. §2422 + +The pleadings in Count III closely track the language of 18 U.S.C. §2422, and thus set forth the elements of a violation of this Statute, as follows: + +(i) Allegation in Complaint. Epstein used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce or entice Jane Doe, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense; and + +(ii) 18 U.S.C. §2422(b). Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign 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... + +18 U.S.C. §2455(b); Jane Doe 2 Amd. Compl. 1 29; Jane Doe 3 Amd. Comp1.1 29; Jane Doe 4 Amd. Comp1.1 30; Jane Doe 5 Amd. Compl.1 29; Jane Doe 6 Amd. Compl. 1 28; Jane Doe 7 Amd. Compl. 1 29. Defendant does not appear to contend that Plaintiffs have failed to allege the elements of a violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422 in Count III, but instead argues that further factual allegations are necessary. As with Count I, such specific facts are the proper subject of discovery, and need not be set forth in the pleadings under Rule 8(aX2). There is no issue of plausibility concerning the Plaintiffs' claims under 18 U.S.C. §2422. Indeed, the Plaintiffs in these cases were notified by the U.S. Attorney's office that the Defendant has agreed that each Plaintiff has the same right to proceed on her federal statutory claim "as she would have had if Mr. Epstein had been tried federally and convicted of an enumerated offense." ( July 10, 2008 letter from A. Villafafia, Assistant U.S. Attorney, attached hereto as Exhibit "A"). + +Defendant also attempts to make much of a typographical error that appears in Count III in the "Wherefore" clause demanding a judgment for damages. There, the pleading inadvertently makes reference to 28 U.S.C. §2255(a) instead of 18 U.S.C. §2255(a). As is clear from the Defendants' Motions, Defendant is well aware that this is a typographical error and that the intent is to reference 18 U.S.C. §2255. In any event, this reference concerns the Plaintiffs' damages, not the elements of Plaintiff's claim set forth in the paragraphs above it.' Count III nonetheless satisfies Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(3), as the "Wherefore" clause states that Plaintiff seeks actual and compensatory damages, costs of suit, attorneys' fees and such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper. If deemed necessary, the typographical error in the "Wherefore" clause of Count III can be corrected by interlineation. It does not warrant a dismissal and repleading. + +## IV. THERE IS NO BASIS FOR DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR MORE DEFINITE STATEMENT + +A motion for more definite statement under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(e) may only be granted "if a pleading is so vague or ambiguous that a party cannot reasonably be required to frame a responsive pleading." v. Two Brothers Farm. LLC, 2008 WL 4405409 \*I (S.D. Fla. 2008) (quoting Betancourt v. Marine Cargo Mgmt., 930 F. Supp. 606, 608 (S.D. Fla. 1996)). Federal courts disfavor motions for more definite statement. Home Mgmt. Solutions. Inc. v. Prescient. Inc. 2007 WL 2412834 (S.D. Fla. 2007). Most importantly, "Defendants may not use a motion for more definite statement as a means of discovery regarding those claims." 2008 WL 4405409 at \*1. Yet that is exactly how Defendant Epstein uses his Motions for More Definite Statement. He + +' As a result, this reference in error to 28 U.S.C. 2255(a) is not set forth in a paragraph to which Defendant would be expected to frame an answer. + +seeks by these Motions specific facts which are the proper subject of discovery, not pleadings. Accordingly, Defendants Motions for More Definite Statement should be denied. + +# V.

RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS & FOR MORE DEFINITE STATEMENT + +Defendant, JEFFERY EPSTEIN, (EPSTEIN), by and through his undersigned attorneys, files his reply to Plaintiffs' Memorandum Of Law In Opposition To Motions To Dismiss, dated October 31, 2008, and states: + +Although Plaintiffs, Jane Doe Nos. 2 through 7, are separate and distinct persons, in separate and distinct actions, with separate and distinct facts and circumstances pertaining to the claims each is attempting to allege, Plaintiffs' counsel has filed a broad brush, identical response to Defendant's motions to dismiss and for more definite statement which were filed in each of the actions. As pointed out in Defendant's previously filed motions, there are factual distinctions in the actions and the allegations in Plaintiffs' attempts to assert the claims labeled as Count I — "Sexual Assault and Battery," and Count III - "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity In Violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422." It is essential that each of the actions and the respective complaints filed therein are examined and treated as separate and distinct actions in deciding the respective legal issues and positions asserted. + +Jane Doe No. 6 v. Epstein Page 2 + +As noted, Defendant's motion is directed to Count I and III of the respective complaints. Contrary to each Plaintiffs assertion, Defendant does not concede that Plaintiff has sufficiently plead the elements required to assert claims in Count I for "Sexual Assault and Battery" and in Count III pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§2422, and Defendant has not "misconstrued" the pleading standard formulated by the United States Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twomblv, 127 S.Ct. 1955 (2007). In discussing Twomblv the Eleventh Circuit in v. Fla. International Univ. 495 F.3d 1289, 1295 (11th Cir. 2007), noted - "The Supreme Court's most recent formulation of the pleading specificity standard is that 'stating such a claim requires a complaint with enough factual matter (taken as true) to suggest' the required element." In order to sufficiently allege the claim, the complaint is required to identify "facts that are suggestive enough to render [the element] plausible." 495 F.3d at 1296 (quoting Twombly , 127 S.Ct. at 1965). As stated in Defendant's motion to dismiss, Plaintiff has not met this standard requiring the pleading of facts to suggest the elements of the claims she is attempting to assert. In other words, Plaintiff is required to plead facts that suggest each element of the claim she is attempting to assert, as opposed to a generalized pleading. Accordingly, Defendant relies on the legal positions and argument in his motion, rather than reargue what has already been stated. + +Finally, the letter attached as an Exhibit to Plaintiffs response is not dispositive of the issue of whether the Plaintiff has sufficiently alleged a claim in Count III pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2422. + +Jane Doe No. 6 v. Epstein +Page 3 + +Wherefore, Defendant requests that this Court grant his motion to dismiss and for more definite statement directed to Plaintiff's Complaint. + +**Certificate of Service** + +I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true copy of the foregoing was electronically filed with the Clerk of the Court using CM/ECF.

Such issues may arise, however, as discovery continues. It is suggested that no restrictions on discovery be imposed at the outset of discovery. + +Defendant's Position: Any financial discovery, if allowed, relating to apunitive damage should be postponed until July 15, 2009.

However, the parties reserve the right to join additional parties within the deadline set forth in §I(B), if appropriate. + +### C. Proposed Time Limits + +Proposed time limits are set forth in the Discovery Plan, §I(B) above. + +# D. Proposals for the Formulation and Simplification of Issues + +Plaintiffs' Position: It would be in the interests of judicial economy and efficiency to consolidate these cases at least for purposes of discovery.

The parties however reserve the right to amend pleadings within the deadline set forth in §I(B) above. + +### F. Possibility of Obtaining Admissions of Fact and of Documents; Stipulations; Need for Advance Ruling on Admissibility of Evidence + +Plaintiffs' Position: Plaintiffs believe that Defendant Epstein's plea agreement is an admission of liability as to all Counts of the Complaint.

If the parties know early in the case how similar fact evidence will be treated at trial, discovery can be more focused and efficient. + +Defendant's Position: Defendant expects that the parties will work together to arrive at admissions as the matter progresses.

This case is set for trial on the two-week calendar commencing Monday February 8, 2010. Counsel for all parties shall appear at a calendar call commencing at 10:00 o'clock A.M. on Friday, February 5, 2010. Unless instructed otherwise by subsequent order, the trial and all other proceedings in this case shall be conducted at the U.S. Courthouse, 701 Clematis Street, Courtroom 4, Third Floor, West Palm Beach, Florida. + +### Motion Practice + +2. Every motion filed in this case will be accompanied by one proposed original order granting the motion. The order will contain an up-to-date service list of all attorneys in the case, including e-mail addresses. + +## Pretrial Schedule + +3. Pretrial discovery will be conducted in accordance with Local Rules 16.1 and 26.1 and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. No pretrial conference shall be held in this action, unless the Court determines, either sua sponte or upon motion and order, that a pretrial conference is necessary. In setting the following deadlines, the Court has considered the panics' suggested discovery schedule. Dates and other agreements between the panics not otherwise addressed herein shall be considered part of this Order. To the extent this Order conflicts with the Local Rules, this Order supercedes the Local Rules. + +Amend Pleadings/Add Parties -February 2, 2009 + +Discovery Cutoff —October 5, 2009 + +Substantive Pretrial Motions —October 23, 2009 + +Mediation Cutoff — 60 days before calendar call + +Mandatory Pretrial Stipulation -Fifteen days before calendar call + +Motions in Limine — Fifteen days before calendar call + +Responses to Motions in Limine — Ten days before calendar call + +Jury Instructions — Five days before calendar call + +Proposed Findings & Conclusions — Five days before calendar call + +Voir Dire Questions — Calendar call + +Exhibit List for Court — First day of Trial (impeachment excepted) + +Witness List for Court — First day of Trial (impeachment excepted) + +## Mandatory Pretrial Stipulation + +4. Counsel must meet at least one month prior to the beginning of the trial period to confer on the preparation of a Pretrial Stipulation in accordance with Local Rule 16.1E. + +A Pretrial Stipulation lacking substance will not be accepted. Any party causing a unilateral pretrial stipulation to be filed will be required to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed. Each attorney and each self-represented party is charged with the duty of complying with this Order. A motion for continuance shall not stay the requirement for the filing of the Pretrial Stipulation and, unless an emergency situation arises, or good cause is shown, a motion for continuance will not be considered unless it is filed at least twenty (20) days prior to the calendar call. Failure to comply with the time schedule may result in dismissal or other sanctions. + +# Consent Jurisdiction + +5. In light of the benefits offered by a trial before a magistrate judge, e.g., trial on a date certain as opposed to placement on a trial calendar, the parties are urged to consider this option. Therefore, within twenty (20) days of the entry of this order each attorney is ordered to meet with his or her client and discuss this option. Plaintiff's counsel shall monitor this process. If there is not unanimity in favor of magistrate jurisdiction, plaintiff's counsel need do nothing further. If, however, there is unanimity in favor of magistrate jurisdiction, plaintiff's counsel shall execute the form (which can be retrieved from www.flsd.uscourts.gov) entitled "Notice of Right to Consent to Disposition of a Civil Case by a United States Magistrate Judge," and forward the original, executed form to defendants' counsel. After completion by all defendants or their counsel, the original form should be forwarded to the Clerk of the Court, West Palm Beach Division. + +## Mediation + +6. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16 and Local Rule 16.2, this case is referred to mediation, to the extent not excluded by Local Rule 16.2.C, as follows: + +a. The mediation shall be completed sixty (60) days prior to the scheduled calendar call; + +b. The panics shall, within sixty (60) days hereof, agree upon a mediator and advise the Clerk's office of their choice, failing which the Clerk will designate a mediator from the list of certified mediators on a blind random basis; + +c. Plaintiff's counsel shall be responsible for coordinating the mediation conference date and location agreeable to the mediator and all counsel of record; + +d. Within five (5) days following the mediation conference, the mediator shall tile a Mediation Report indicating who attended the mediation and the result thereof. + +## Discovery Referred to Magistrate Judge + +7. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636 and the Magistrate Rules of the Local Rules of the Southern District of Florida, the above-captioned cause is referred to United States Magistrate Judge Linnea R. for appropriate disposition of all pretrial discovery motions, and all motions that relate directly to these motions, such as motions for extension of time, motions for reconsideration, motions for sanctions, and motions for mental or physical examinations. This Order does not refer any motion which requests a continuance or extension of the trial or pretrial scheduling dates. + +## Exhibits + +8. Exhibits must be pre-marked and exchanged prior to execution of the Pretrial Stipulation. Each exhibit should be marked with a sticker identifying the case number, exhibit number, and party offering the exhibit. + +## Jury Instructions and Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law + +9. In cases tried before a jury, each party shall submit joint, stipulated proposed jury instructions and a joint, stipulated proposed verdict form in hard copy form and on 3.5" diskette. All requested instructions shall be typed on a separate page, and except for Eleventh Circuit Pattern instructions, must be supported by citations of authority. Any objections to the proposed + +instructions shall be stated clearly and concisely and also shall be supported by citations of authority. + +In cases tried before the Court, each party shall file proposed Findings of Fact & Conclusions of Law in hard copy form and on 3.5" diskette.

If a case is settled, counsel are directed to inform the Court promptly at (561) 561-514- 3790 and to submit an appropriate Stipulation for Order of Dismissal, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1). Such an Order must be filed within ten (10) days of notification to the Court, or prior to the Calendar Call, whichever occurs first.

Compl. ¶ 10. + +Defendant's scheme involved the use of young girls to recruit underage girls. Compl. ¶ II. Under Defendant's plan, underage girls were recruited ostensibly to give a wealthy man a massage for monetary compensation in his Palm Beach mansion. Id. Defendant generally sought out economically disadvantaged underage girls from western Palm Beach County who would be enticed by the money being offered — generally \$200 to \$300 per "massage" session — and who were perceived as less likely to complain to authorities or have credibility if allegations of improper conduct were made. Id. This was an important element of Epstein's plan. Id. + +Defendant's plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method. Compl. ¶ 12. The underage victim would be brought or directed to Defendant's mansion, where she would be led up a flight of stairs to a bedroom that contained a massage table in addition to other furnishings. Id. The victim would then find herself alone in the room with Defendant, who would be wearing only a towel. Id. Defendant would then remove his towel, lay down naked on the massage table, and direct the girl to remove her clothes. Id. Defendant would then perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, including masturbation. Id. + +Consistent with the foregoing plan, when Plaintiff was approximately 13 years old, she was recruited by another girl to give Defendant a massage for monetary compensation. Compl. 13. Plaintiff was brought to Defendant's mansion in Palm Beach. Id. Once there, she was led up the stairs to the room with the massage table. Id. Defendant entered the room and directed Plaintiff to remove her clothes and to give him a massage. Id. As directed by Defendant, Plaintiff stripped to her underwear. Id. Defendant then sexually assaulted Plaintiff during the massage. M. In addition, Defendant masturbated during the massage. Id. Defendant then paid Plaintiff money. Id. As a result of this encounter with Defendant, Plaintiff experienced confusion, shame, humiliation, and embarrassment, and has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries. Compl. ¶ 14. + +Under Count I - Sexual Assault and Battery, the Complaint alleges as follows: Defendant made an intentional, unlawful offer of offensive sexual contact toward Plaintiff, creating a reasonable fear of imminent peril and sexual assault. Compl. ¶ 16. Defendant intentionally inflicted harmful or offensive contact on the person of Plaintiff. Compl. ¶ 17. Defendant tortiously committed a sexual assault and battery on Plaintiff. Compl. ¶ 18. Defendant's acts were intentional, unlawful, offensive and harmful. Id. Defendant's plan and scheme in which he committed such acts upon Plaintiff were done willfully and maliciously. Compl. ¶ 19. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant's assault on Plaintiff, she has suffered and will continue to suffer severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages. Compl. ¶ 20. + +Under Count II, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, the Complaint alleges as follows: + +Defendant's conduct was intentional or reckless. Compl. ¶ 22. Defendant's conduct with a minor was extreme and outrageous, going beyond all bounds of decency. Compl. ¶ 23. Defendant committed willful acts of child sexual abuse on Plaintiff. Compl. ¶ 24. These acts resulted in mental or sexual injury to Plaintiff, that caused or were likely to cause Plaintiff's mental or emotional health to be significantly impaired. Compl. ¶ 24. Defendant's conduct + +caused severe emotional distress to Plaintiff. Compl. ¶ 25. Defendant knew or had reason to know that his intentional and outrageous conduct would cause emotional distress and damage to Plaintiff, or Defendant acted with reckless disregard of the high probability of causing severe emotional distress to Plaintiff. Id. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant's intentional or reckless conduct, Plaintiff has suffered and will continue to suffer severe mental anguish and pain. Compl. ¶ 26. + +Under Count III, Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422, the Complaint alleges as follows: + +Defendant used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce or entice Plaintiff, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense. Compl. ¶ 28. As a result of Defendant's violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422, Plaintiff has suffered personal injury, including mental, psychological and emotional damages. Compl. ¶ 30. + +Defendant argues in his motion that Counts I and III of the Complaint must be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(bX6). Alternatively, Defendant seeks a more definite statement of Counts 1 and W. + +Plaintiff responds that the Court should deny the motion because the pleadings at issue contain a short and plain statement of the claims showing that Plaintiff is entitled to relief in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(aX2). Plaintiff contends that the specific facts sought by Defendant may properly be the subject of discovery, but are not necessary for purposes of pleading. + +## Standard of Review + +In deciding a motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), a court must accept all factual allegations in a complaint as true and take them in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. See Erickson v. Pardus, 127 S.Ct. 2197, 2200 (2007). To satisfy the pleading requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8, a complaint must contain a shop and plain statement showing an entitlement to relief, and the statement must "give the defendant fair notice of what the plaintiff's claim is and the grounds upon which it rests." Swierkiewicz v. Sorema N.A., 534 U.S. 506, 512 (2002) (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 8); see also Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1964 (2007); Dura Pharm., Inc. v. Broudo 544 U.S. 336, 346 (2005). This is a liberal pleading requirement, one that does not require a plaintiff to plead with particularity every element of a cause of action. Roe v. Aware Woman Ctr. for Choice, Inc., 253 F.3d 678, 683 (1 1th Cir. 2001). Instead, the complaint need only "contain either direct or inferential allegations respecting all the material elements necessary to sustain a recovery under some viable legal theory." Id. (internal citation and quotation omitted). "A complaint need not specify in detail the precise theory giving rise to recovery. All that is required is that the defendant be on notice as to the claim being asserted against him and the grounds on which it rests." v. United Food and Conun'l Workers hug Union, 866 F.2d 1380, 1384 ( 1 1th (jr. 1989). + +"While a complaint attacked by a Rule 12(bX6) motion to dismiss does not need detailed factual allegations, [ ] a plaintiff's obligation to provide the 'grounds' of his 'entitlement to relief requires more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do." Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. at 1964-65 (citations omitted). "Factual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level on the assumption that all of the complaint's allegations are true." Id. at 1965. Plaintiff must plead enough facts to state a plausible basis for the claim. Id. + +### Discussion + +Counts I alleges a claim for sexual assault and battery. Under Florida law, It is customary to refer to the term "assault and battery" as if it were a legal unit, or a single concept; however, assault and battery are separate and distinct legal concepts, assault being the beginning of an act which, if consummated, constitutes battery. 3A Fla. Jur 2d Assault §1. "'The essential element of an assault is the violence offered, and not actual physical contact,' and 'a battery is defined as an unlawful touching or striking or the use of force against the person of another with the intention of bringing about a harmful or offensive contact or apprehension thereof.' McDonald 223 So.2d 553, 555 (Fla. 2nd DCA 1969), gait'Agi 3 Fla.Jur., Assault and Battery, § 3. Assault is defined as an intentional, unlawful offer of corporal injury to another by force, or force unlawfully directed toward another under such circumstances as to create a fear of imminent peril, coupled with the apparent present ability to effectuate the attempt. Lay v. Kremer, 411 So.2d 1347, 1349 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982). A battery consists of the infliction of a harmful or offensive contact upon another with the intent to cause such contact or the apprehension that such contact is imminent. Paul v. Holbrook, 696 So.2d 1311, 1312 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997); v. Atlantic Fed. Say. & Loan Ass'n, 454 So.2d 52, 54 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984), review denied 461 So.2d 116 (Fla.1985). + +Defendant does not contend that Plaintiff failed to allege the above-listed elements of the torts of assault and battery in Count I. Instead, Defendant argues that, under the standard of + +pleading established in Twombly,Plaintiff has failed to set forth sufficient factual allegations to support the pleading. Defendant's argument, in essence, is that in a post-Twombly pleading, a heightened fact pleading of specifics is required. However Twombly did not alter the standard for dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6) in the typical case. As the Court explained in CBT Flint + +# Partners, LLC v. Goodmail Systems, Inc: + +In my view, Twombly did not radically alter the elementary rules of civil procedure that have governed litigation in the federal courts for the past seventy years. The Court's forced retirement of Conley v. MI "no set of facts" language does not change the fundamental command of Rule 8 as to what a valid complaint must look like. Indeed, the Court made clear that it was not imposing a heightened pleading standard. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. at 1974 ("[W]e do not require heightened fact pleading of specifics, but only enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face."). As a general matter, I am loath to assume that the Supreme Court circumvented the normal channels for amending the Federal Rules. Swierkiewicz v. Sorema, 534 U.S. 506, 515 (2002) ("A requirement of greater specificity for particular claims is a result that must be obtained by the process of amending the Federal Rules, and not by judicial interpretation.") (quotations omitted). Second, to the extent that Twombly might be plausibly read to alter the requirements for the sufficiency of a complaint, there should be a strong presumption in favor of narrowly confining the decision to its facts. Cohens v. Virginia, 19 U.S. 264 (1821) ( "It is a maxim not to be disregarded, that general expressions, in every opinion, are to be taken in connection with the case in which those expressions are used."). The Court's "new standard" was merely a specific way to articulate a solution to what it perceived to be a specific pleading problem, in a specific area of law that inflicted a high cost upon antitrust defendants. It was not a broad based new license for federal courts to ramp up pleading requirements. + +CBT Flint Partners, LLC v. Goodmail Systems, Inc., 529 F.Supp.2d 1376, 1379 (N.D. Ga. 2007). + +In this case, Defendant contends that the pleadings fail to allege the specific facts of "what was done to [Plaintiff];" "what Epstein said and did, if anything, to create fear and apprehension in Plaintiff'; and "what was the intentional or harmful contact?" (Mot. 5-6). As to these issues, the Complaint alleges as follows: Alone with Plaintiff in an upstairs room of + +Defendant's mansion, Defendant directed Plaintiff to remove her clothes and to give him a massage. Compl. 13. Defendant made an intentional, unlawful offer of offensive sexual contact toward Plaintiff, creating a reasonable fear of imminent peril and sexual assault. Comp!. ¶ 16. Defendant then sexually assaulted Plaintiff during the massage. Compl. 12. Defendant also masturbated during the massage. Id. Defendant intentionally inflicted harmful or offensive contact on the person of Plaintiff. Compl. ¶ 17. Defendant tortiously committed a sexual assault and battery on Plaintiff Compl. ¶ 18. Defendant's acts were intentional, unlawful, offensive and harmful. M. + +Plaintiff need not set forth more specific facts to support its allegations to satisfy the notice pleading standard under Rule 8, which requires only that a complaint must set forth a short and plain statement of the facts upon which the claim is based that is sufficient to give the defendant fair notice of what the plaintiff's claims are and the grounds upon which they rest. The parties will be afforded a liberal opportunity for discovery "to disclose more precisely the basis of both claim and defense and to define more narrowly the disputed facts and issues." Conley v. 355 U.S. 41, 48 (1957). Defendant's motion to dismiss or for a more definite statement is DENIED as to Count I. + +Counts Ill alleges a claim for coercion and enticement to sexual activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422. That statute states, in pertinent part, + +(b) Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States 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 not less than 10 years or for life. + +18 U.S.C. § 2422(b).' + +The Complaint alleges: "Epstein used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce or entice Jane Doe, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense." Am. Compl.1 28. + +First, the Complaint sufficiently alleges the element of using a facility or means of interstate commerce. See ¶ 28. More specifics are properly the subject of discovery. + +Second, Defendant argues that the Complaint fails to set forth underlying factual allegations as to the requisite elements that Defendant knowingly persuaded, induced, enticed, or coerced Plaintiff, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense. Specifically, Defendant claims that Plaintiff fails to allege with what criminal offense Defendant could have been charged. See 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b). The Complaint states a cause of action for violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422. However, Defendant's position that Plaintiff must state what part of "to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense" upon which is relying Plaintiff is well-taken. + +Rule 12(e) permits a party to move for a "more definite statement of a pleading to which a responsive pleading is allowed but which is so vague or ambiguous that the party cannot reasonably prepare a response." Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(e). As explained by another court, "[t]he claim of the plaintiff in his complaint is sufficiently definite to enable the defendant to know with + +The allegations in the Complaint closely track the language of § 2422(b), making it clear that this is the subsection upon which Plaintiff is relying. + +what it is charged, and it is reasonably able therefrom to respond whether it did the thing charged." Dennis v. Begley Drug Co. of Tennessee, Inc., 53 F.R.D. 608, 609 (E.D. Tenn. 1971). As it is written, ¶ 28 is ambiguous as to whether Plaintiff claims prostitution or another criminal offense (and if so, what offense) with which Defendant could have been charged.' The Court finds that Defendant is entitled to a more definite statement as to ¶ 28 in order to provide Defendant with sufficient notice to frame a responsive pleading. + +# Conclusion + +For the reasons stated herein, Defendant's Motion to Dismiss and Motion for More Definite Statement, Directed to Plaintiff's Jane Doe No. 6's Complaint (DE 8) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART as follows: + +- I. Defendant's motion to dismiss or for a more definite statement as to Count I is DENIED. +- 2. Defendant's motion to dismiss or for a more definite statement as to Count III is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART. Defendant's motion to dismiss is denied; however, Plaintiff must file another complaint, which includes a more definite statement as to Count III - Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 + +2 In its opposition, Plaintiff improperly seeks to rely upon a July 10, 2008 letter from A. Villafana, Assistant U.S. Attorney to Plaintiff's counsel. This letter was not referenced in nor attached to the Complaint. It is axiomatic that, at the motion to dismiss stage, the Court must consider well-pled allegations of the complaint as true and must limit its examination to the four corners of the complaint. Grossman v. Nationsbank, N.A., 225 F.3d 1228, 1231 (11th Cir. 2000). Thus, the Court will not consider the letter in ruling on the instant motion. + +U.S.C. § 2422, as explained in this Order. + +DONE AND ORDERED in at West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, + +Florida, this 12ih day of February, 2009. + +KENNETH A.

Jane Doe No. 5 is a citizen and resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and is sui juris. +- 2. This Complaint is brought under a fictitious name to protect the identity of the Plaintiff because this Complaint makes sensitive allegations of sexual assault and abuse upon a minor. + - 3. Defendant Jeffrey Epstein is a citizen and resident of the State of New York. + - 4. This is an action for damages in excess of \$50 million. +- 5. This Court has jurisdiction of this action and the claims set forth herein pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1332(a), as the matter in controversy (i) exceeds \$75,000, exclusive of interest and costs; and (ii) is between citizens of different states. + - 6. This Court has venue of this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1391(a) as a substantial + +part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred in this District. + +# Factual Allegations + +7. At all relevant times, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein") was an adult male, 52 years old. Epstein is a financier and money manager with a secret clientele limited exclusively to billionaires. He is himself a man of tremendous wealth, power and influence. He maintains his principal home in New York and also owns residences in New Mexico, St. and Palm Beach, FL. The allegations herein concern Epstein's conduct while at his lavish estate in Palm Beach. + +8. Upon information and belief, Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for underage girls. He engaged in a plan and scheme in which he gained access to primarily economically disadvantaged minor girls in his home, sexually assaulted these girls, and then gave them money. In or about 2002-2003, Jane Doe, then approximately 15-16 years old, fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims. + +9. Upon information and belief, Jeffrey Epstein carried out his scheme and assaulted girls in Florida, New York and on his private island, known as Little St. James, in St. + +10. Epstein's scheme involved the use of young girls to recruit underage girls. These underage girls were recruited ostensibly to give a wealthy man a massage for monetary compensation in his Palm Beach mansion. The girls would be contacted when Epstein was planning to be at his Palm Beach residence or soon after he had arrived there. Upon information and belief, Epstein generally sought out economically disadvantaged underage girls from western Palm Beach County who would be enticed by the money being offered - generally \$200 to \$300 per "massage" session - and who were perceived as less likely to complain to authorities or have credibility if allegations of improper conduct were made. This was an important element of Epstein's plan. + +I I. Epstein's plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method. The underage + +victim would be brought to the kitchen entrance of Epstein's mansion, where she would be introduced to , Epstein's assistant. would then bring the girl up a flight of stairs to a room that contained a massage table in addition to other furnishings, and a bathroom. The girl would then find herself alone in the room with Epstein, who would be wearing only a towel. He would then remove his towel and lie naked on the massage table, and direct the girl to remove her clothes. Epstein would then perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, including masturbation and touching the girl's vagina. + +12. Consistent with the foregoing plan and scheme, when Jane Doe was approximately 15-16 years old, she was recruited to give Epstein a massage for monetary compensation. Jane and another girl were brought to Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach, to the kitchen entrance. Once there, they were introduced to who led them up the flight of stairs to the room with the massage table. Jane and the other girl were directed by Epstein to remove their clothes and give him a massage. Jane and the other girl removed their clothes except for their panties and bras, and complied with Epstein's instructions. While on the massage table, Epstein masturbated himself and touched both girls on their vaginas with his hand and with a vibrator. + +13. After Epstein had completed the sexual assault, both girls were then able to get dressed, leave the room and go back down the stairs. Epstein gave both girls money for this "massage." + +14. As a result of this encounter with Epstein, Jane experienced confusion, shame, humiliation and embarrassment, and has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries. + +### COUNT I Sexual Assault and Batton + +15.

Parties, Jurisdiction and Venue + +- 1. Jane Doe No. 6 is a citizen and resident of the State of Florida, and is sui juris. +- 2. This Complaint is brought under a fictitious name to protect the identity of the Plaintiff because this Complaint makes sensitive allegations of sexual assault and abuse upon a minor. + - 3. Defendant Jeffrey Epstein is a citizen and resident of the State of New York. + - 4. This is an action for damages in excess of \$50 million. +- 5. This Court has jurisdiction of this action and the claims set forth herein pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1332(a), as the matter in controversy (i) exceeds \$75,000, exclusive of interest and costs; and (ii) is between citizens of different states. +- 6. Additionally, this Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1331 because Plaintiff alleges a claim under the laws of the United States. This Court has supplemental + +jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1367(a) over all other claims set forth herein which form part of the same case or controversy. + +7. This Court has venue of this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§1391(a) and 1391(b) as a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred in this District. + +# Factual Allegations + +8. At all relevant times, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein") was an adult male, approximately 52 years old. Epstein is a financier and money manager with a secret clientele limited exclusively to billionaires. He is himself a man of tremendous wealth, power and influence. He maintains his principal home in New York and also owns residences in New Mexico, St. and Palm Beach, FL. The allegations herein concern Epstein's conduct while at his lavish estate in Palm Beach. + +9. Upon information and belief, Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for underage minor girls. He engaged in a plan and scheme in which he gained access to primarily economically disadvantaged minor girls in his home, sexually assaulted these girls, and then gave them money. In or about 2004, Jane Doe, then approximately 13 years old, fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims. + +10. Upon information and belief, Jeffrey Epstein carried out his scheme and assaulted girls in Florida, New York and on his private island, known as Little St. James, in St. + +II. Epstein's scheme involved the use of young girls to recruit underage girls. These underage girls were recruited ostensibly to give a wealthy man a massage for monetary compensation in his Palm Beach mansion. Epstein, upon information and belief, generally sought out economically disadvantaged underage girls from western Palm Beach County who would be enticed by the money being offered - generally \$200 to \$300 per "massage" session - and who were perceived as less likely to complain to authorities or have credibility if allegations of improper conduct were made. This was an important element of Epstein's plan. + +12. Epstein's plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method. The underage victim would be brought or directed to Epstein's mansion, where she would be led up a flight of stairs to a bedroom that contained a massage table in addition to other furnishings. The girl would then find herself alone in the room with Epstein, who would be wearing only a towel. He would then remove his towel and lie naked on the massage table, and direct the girl to remove her clothes. Epstein would then perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, including masturbation. + +13. Consistent with the foregoing plan and scheme, when Jane Doe was only 13 years old, she was recruited by another girl to give Epstein a massage for monetary compensation. Jane was brought to Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach. Once there, she was led up the flight of stairs to the room with the massage table. Epstein came into the room and directed Jane to remove her clothes and give him a massage. As directed by Epstein, Jane stripped to her underwear. Epstein then sexually assaulted Jane during the massage. In addition, Epstein masturbated during the massage. Epstein then paid Jane money. + +14. As a result of this encounter with Epstein, Jane experienced confusion, shame, humiliation and embarrassment, and has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries. + +# COUNT I Sexual Assault and Batten? + +15. Plaintiff Jane Doe repeats and realleges paragraphs 1 through 14 above. + +16. Epstein made an intentional, unlawful offer of offensive sexual contact toward Jane Doe, creating a reasonable fear of imminent peril and sexual assault. + +17. Epstein intentionally inflicted harmful or offensive sexual contact on the person of + +Jane Doe. + +18. Epstein tortiously committed a sexual assault and battery on Jane Doe. Epstein's acts were intentional, unlawful, offensive and harmful. + +19. Epstein's plan and scheme in which he committed such acts upon Jane Doe were done willfully and maliciously. + +20. As a direct and proximate result of Epstein's assault on Jane, she has suffered and will continue to suffer severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Jane Doe No. 6 demands judgment against Defendant Jeffrey Epstein for compensatory damages, punitive damages, costs, and such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper. + +#### COUNT II Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress + +21. Plaintiff Jane Doe repeats and realleges paragraphs 1 through 14 above. + +22. Epstein's conduct was intentional or reckless. + +23. Epstein's conduct with a minor was extreme and outrageous, going beyond all bounds of decency. + +24. Epstein committed willful acts of child sexual abuse on Jane Doe. These acts resulted in mental or sexual injury that caused or were likely to cause Jane Doe's mental or emotional health to be significantly impaired. + +25. Epstein's conduct caused severe emotional distress to Jane Doe. Epstein knew or had reason to know that his intentional and outrageous conduct would cause emotional distress and damage to Jane Doe, or Epstein acted with reckless disregard of the high probability of causing severe emotional distress to Jane Doe. + +26. As a direct and proximate result of Epstein's intentional or reckless conduct, Jane Doe, has suffered and will continue to suffer severe mental anguish and pain. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Jane Doe No. 6 demands judgment against Defendant Jeffrey Epstein for compensatory damages, costs, punitive damages, and such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper. + +## COUNT III Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422 + +27. Plaintiff Jane Doe repeats and realleges paragraphs 1 through 14 above. + +28. Epstein used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce or entice Jane Doe, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense. + +29. On June 30, 2008, Epstein entered a plea of guilty to violations of Florida §§ 796.07 and 796.03, in the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County (Case nos. 2008-cf-009381AXXXMB and 2006-cf-009454AXXXMB), for conduct involving the same plan and scheme as alleged herein. + +30. As to PlaintiffJane Doe, Epstein could have been charged with criminal violations of Florida Statute §796.07(2) (including subsections (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), and (h) thereof), and other criminal offenses including violations of Florida Statutes §§ 798.02 and 800.04 (including subsections (5), (6) and (7) thereof). + +31. Epstein's acts and conduct are in violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422. + +32. As a result of Epstein's violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422, Plaintiff has suffered personal injury, including mental, psychological and emotional damages. + +33. Plaintiff hired Herman & Mermelstein.

I, Jack A. Goldberger, have personal knowledge of the matters set forth herein. I am an attorney licensed to practice in the State of Florida since 1978. I am a partner with the law firm of Atterbury Goldberger & Weiss, P.A., located at One Clearlake Centre, Suite 1400, 250 Australian Avenue South, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. + +2. My practice includes and specializes in the defense of criminal matters. I am board certified in criminal law. I have been and currently am the criminal defense attorney for JEFFREY EPSTEIN. + +3. I represented Mr. EPSTEIN in the negotiation of and entering into a Non-Prosecution Agreement with the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) for the Federal Southern District of Florida. The terms and conditions of the Non-Prosecution Agreement also entailed the entering of a Plea Agreement with the State Attorney's Office, Palm Beach County, State of Florida. (The Non-Prosecution Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as the "NPA"). + +4. By its terms, the NPA took effect on June 30, 2008. Also, pursuant to the terms of the NPA, any criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN is deferred as long as the terms and conditions of the NPA are fulfilled by EPSTEIN. + +EXHIBITIE + +5. The criminal matters against EPSTEIN remain ongoing until the NPA expires by its terms in late 2010 and as long as the USAO determines EPSTEIN has complied with those terms and conditions. The threat of criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN by USAO in the Southern District of Florida continues presently and through late 2010. + +6. Pursuant to the terms of the NPA, the USAO possesses the right to declare that the agreement has been breached, give EPSTEIN's counsel notice, and attempt to move forward with a prosecution.

In support of his motion, EPSTEIN states: + +### I. Introduction + +At the outset, EPSTEIN notes this Court's prior Order in a companion case, dated December 16, 2008, (Document 28 in CMA — Case No. 08-CV-80811-MARRAMM), in which this Court denied a motion for stay brought by Defendant's prior counsel. In that instance, Defendant's counsel requested a mandatory stay under 18 U.S.C.A. §3509(k) which the court denied. In denying the request for the stay, this Court stated that a discretionary stay was not appropriate at the time the order was entered but also stated, in part, that "Any such issues shall be resolved as they arise in the course of litigation." As discussed herein, "special circumstances" now exist which, in the "interests of justice," merit the entry of a stay of this civil + +action until the criminal matter in the 15th Judicial Circuit is "closed" in accordance with the United States Attorney's Office ("USAO") Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA") and until the NPA expires. + +Moreover, EPSTEIN was indicted by a grand jury in or around July 2006. See Exhibit "A". The Non-Prosecution Agreement is part of the record in connection with that indictment, which is signed by the State Attorney of the 15'h Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida ("SAO"). In fact, the NPA acknowledges the investigation performed by the SAO. Further, the USAO was present at the Plea hearing whereby the NPA was made part of the record. Thus, there is no question that a parallel criminal matter exists in that the SAO's case remains open and the NPA lives along side it, which places EPSTEIN under great scrutiny by the USAO. The NPA actually places an affirmative duty upon EPSTEIN to undertake discussions with the SAO to ensure compliance with the NPA. That check and balance, therefore, remains in the hands of the SAO, which has a parallel criminal proceeding. Here, the threat of prosecution is real, substantial, and present should the USAO determine that EPSTEIN somehow violated the NPA. As discussed below, because the NPA fails to define what constitutes a breach, the USAO has apparently taken it upon itself to determine whether a breach has occurred and whether to seek criminal prosecution. In fact, the USAO has already attempted to claim violations of the NPA due to, among other things, EPSTEIN defending the civil actions against him. Clearly, it is NOT simply EPSTEIN's choice as to whether he violates the NPA — that discretion apparently lies with the USAO. For this reason alone, a stay is required until the NPA expires. + +The difference between this Motion and the prior motion to stay in the companion case is solely due to the ripeness of the issues discussed herein. + +### 11. THE NPA + +By its terms, the NPA took effect on June 30, 2008 and expires by those same terms in late 2010 so long as EPSTEIN complies with the terms and conditions — violations of which remain undefined. The NPA, which remains under seal, outlines various obligations on the part of EPSTEIN including, but not limited to, pleading guilty to the Indictment and Information before the 15th Judicial Circuit, recommendations for his sentencing before the I5" Judicial Circuit, waiver of challenges to the Information filed by the SAO, waiver of right to appeal his conviction, agreement not be afforded benefits for gain time, and the agreement to not prosecute others listed thereon so long as EPSTEIN does not breach and fulfills the requirements of the NPA. + +What the NPA does not outline or define is what constitutes a breach or what act or omission constitutes a breach thereof. Therefore, the USAO apparently believes it has the discretion to make that unwritten and undefined determination, which places an unreasonable burden upon EPSTEIN in defending the civil claims in that he has no idea what the USAO will define as a breach in the event he does not assert his 5th Amendment Rights. As an example, the USAO has already claimed that EPSTEIN violated the NPA by: + +- 1. investigating the Plaintiffs (by and though his attorneys) whom brought civil suits against him for purposes of defending those civil actions; + - 2. contesting damages in this action and in the other civil actions; +- 3. making statements to the press about this Plaintiff or other Plaintiffs by and though his attorneys; and + +office. 4. using the word "jail" instead of "imprisonment" in the plea agreement with SA's + +See Exhibit "B" Goldberger Affidavit - EPSTEIN's criminal counsel. + +These allegations are silly, unfounded and alleged violations which are not defined as violations under the NPA but arrived at by the USAO. Thus, EPSTEIN is left with "Morton's Fork" in his side - the undesirable choice of taking the 5th Amendment and having a judgment (summary or otherwise) entered against him in the civil action or the undesirable choice of subjecting himself to discovery in the civil action before the NPA expires and, thus, face the possibility of criminal prosecution by the USAO based upon some illusory breach deemed by the USAO by way of information obtained through civil discovery proceedings. This is inherently unfair, the danger is clear, and the playing field is not level in light of the NPA language or lack thereof. + +As a result, the threat of criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN by the USAO continues presently and through late 2010. + +### III. Justice Requires The Entry of A Stay Because Defendant Is Being Forced To Choose Between Waiving His Sth Amendment Privilege Or Risk Losing This Civil Case And Forfeiting Other Constitutional Guarantees Of Due Process And Effective Assistance Of Counsel + +Once the NPA expires, EPSTEIN fully intends to testify to all relevant and nonobjectionable inquiries made to him in discovery be it a deposition, in interrogatories or in production requests. (Emphasis Added) However, the current circumstances are such that by testifying or responding to discovery, EPSTEIN will be required to waive his constitutional privileges, thereby subjecting himself to criminal prosecution and scrutiny by the USAO as a + +result of matters alleged in this civil action (and others before this Court and in the State of Florida 15° Judicial Circuit Court, Palm Beach County). + +The special circumstances of this action are such that a stay or continuance for a time certain is NOT prejudicial and is required to be entered so that: + +(1) EPSTEIN is not required to waive his Fifth Amendment right against selfincrimination under the United States Constitution resulting in severe prejudice to EPSTEIN in pending criminal matters; and + +(2) EPSTEIN is not forced to choose between waiving his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination or losing the civil case. + +Here, in asserting his Fifth Amendment Privilege, the Plaintiff is afforded an opportunity rarely given - that is, to put on only her evidence without any counterevidence from Defendant resulting in a judgment of liability against EPSTEIN. This is inherently unfair and precisely the special circumstances where "in the interests of justice" a stay is required. Ventura v. Brosky, 2006 WL 3392207 (S.D. Fla. 2006), citing. United States v. Lot 5, Fox Grove 23 F.3d 359 (11th Cir. 1994). In Ventura, a stay was entered where a Defendant was confronted with issue of waiving his 5th Amendment Privilege or to loose a civil case by way of motion for summary judgment. Id. Here, EPSTEIN is not requesting a mandatory stay. EPSTEIN only asks that this court recognize that "special circumstances" exists in this matter and enter a stay in the "interests of justice" and only for a specified period of time (i.e., after the NPA expires). See also Securities and Exchange Commission, 755 F.Supp. 1018, 1019 (S.D. Fla. 1990)(Defendant was in precarious position while being subject to criminal investigation and reasoning that compelling Defendant to speak by ordering an accounting of alleged illicit funds would directly + +impinge his right against self-incrimination). The court found it appropriate to grant the request for stay. (Emphasis Added). + +Citing to U.S. v. Lot 5. Fox Grove supra, the Southern District Court, Florida, in Ventura v. Broskv 2006 WL 3392207 (S.D. Fla. 2006), stated — + +The Eleventh Circuit has also created a test for these circumstances, stating that where there exists a concurrent civil and criminal proceeding, a court must stay a civil proceeding pending resolution of a related criminal prosecution when "special circumstances" so require in the "interests of justice." + +(Bold emphasis added). See also United States v. Kordel, 397 U.S. 1, 12 & n. 27, 90 S.Ct. 763, 769-70 & n.27 (1970). The Ventura Court went on to state that "situations where a defendant in both criminal and civil proceedings must choose whether to waive his privilege against selfincrimination or to lose the civil case in summary or default judgment proceedings have met this test's burden and warrant a stay." Id. The Ventura court granted the stay. Here, the 15th Judicial Circuit action lives along with the NPA. + +In making a decision to enter such a stay, the court may consider the following factors: + +- (1) the interests of the Plaintiffs in proceeding expeditiously with litigation, or any aspect of it, and the potential prejudice of Plaintiff to the delay; +- (2) the burden which any particular aspect of the proceedings may impose on the defendant; +- (3) the convenience of the court in the management of its cases, and the efficient use of judicial resources; + - (4) the interests of persons not parties to the civil litigation; and + - (5) the interest of the public in the pending civil and criminal litigation. + +See U.S. v. Pinnacle Quest International, 2008 WL 4274498 (N.D. Fla. 2008). + +First, in applying the above factors, the Plaintiff in the instant matter will not be prejudiced simply by claiming a delay in time. Second, the burden is far greater on EPSTEIN if he is forced to waive his 5th Amendment Privilege or remain silent and have a judgment entered against him or choose to testify and face criminal prosecution. Third, efficient use of judicial resources would be rendered upon a stay by way of preventing an appeal if such a stay is not entered. The Court has broad discretion to enter such a stay. Fourth, the interests of the individuals outlined in the NPA will be served because EPSTEIN's fulfillment of NPA alleged obligations is determinative upon whether the USAO prosecutes those individuals or whether the claims will be dropped upon the expiration of the NPA. Finally, the interest of the public in the pending civil and criminal cases will not be prejudiced as EPSTEIN is already serving his term whereby a plea was entered in the 15 Judicial Circuit action. + +# a. Application of the 5m Amendment + +Next, the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination "permits a person not to answer official questions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings." Edwin v. Price, 778 F.2d 668, 669 (11th Cir. 1985), clikgz Lefkowitz v. Turley, 414 U.S. 70, 77, 94 S.C. 316, 322 (1973). See also Ohio v. Reiner, 532 U.S. 17, 21, 121 S.Ct. 1252 (2001)(The Fifth Amendment privilege is also available to those who claim innocence. One of the Fifth Amendment's "basic functions ... is to protect innocent men ... `who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances."). Malloy v. Hogan, 84 S.Ct. 1489, 1495 (1964)(the Fifth Amendment's Self-Incrimination Clause applies to the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment - "[i]t would be incongruous to have different standards + +determine the validity of a claim of privilege based on the same feared prosecution, depending on whether the claim was asserted in state or federal court"); Kastigar v. U.S. 406 U.S. 441, 44445, 92 S.Ct. 1653 (1972)(The Fifth Amendment privilege "can be asserted in any proceeding, civil or criminal, administrative or judicial, investigatory or adjudicatory; and it protects against any disclosures which the witness reasonably believes could be used in a criminal prosecution or could lead to other evidence that might be so used. This Court has been zealous to safeguard the values which underlie the privilege." (Emphasis added)). + +The United States Supreme Court made it clear that the scope of the Fifth Amendment Privilege includes the circumstances as here "the act of producing documents in response to a subpoena (or production request) has a compelled testimonial aspect." United States v. Hubbell, 530 U.S. 27, 36, 120 S.Ct. 2037, 2043 (2000); Fisher v. United States 425 U.S. 391 (1976); McCormick on Evidence Title 6, Chap. 13. The Privilege Against Self-Incrimination, §138 (6th Ed.). The privilege against self-incrimination may be asserted during discovery when a litigant has "reasonable grounds to believe that the response would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against a litigant." A witness, including a civil defendant, is entitled to invoke the Fifth Amendment privilege whenever there is a realistic possibility that the answer to a question could be used in anyway to convict the witness of a crime or could aid in the development of other incriminating evidence that can be used at trial. Id; Pillsbury Company v. Conbov, 495 U.S. 248, 103 S.Ct. 608 (1983). + +Certainly, if the USAO decides to prosecute EPSTEIN for an alleged violation of the NPA, it would undoubtedly be able to use information obtained during discovery against him or use that information to aid in the development of other evidence against him at a criminal trial. + +The USAO is already claiming violations of the NPA based upon EPSTEIN defending the civil actions and, at the same time, while EPSTEIN asserts the 5th Amendment. Imagine, because that is all we can do based on the lack of wording in the NPA, what violations the USAO will assert if EPSTEIN is forced to waive his 5ih Amendment privilege to defend himself in this and the other civil actions. + +The Fifth Amendment provides, in relevant part, that "No person ... shall be compelled in any Criminal Case to be a witness against himself." Hoffman v. United States 341 U.S. 479, 486, 71 S.Ct. 814 (1951), citing v. United States, 1944, 322 U.S. 487, 489, 64 S.Ct. 1082, 1083, 88 L.Ed. 1408." The Fifth Amendment's privilege against self-incrimination is "accorded liberal construction in favor of the right it was intended to secure." "The immediate and potential evils of compulsory self-disclosure transcend any difficulties that the exercise of the privilege may impose on society in the detection and prosecution of a crime." Id., at 490; and In relM Financial Svcs. of Fla., Inc., 259 B.R. 391, 399 (M.D. Fla. 2000). The privilege not only extends to answers that would in themselves support a conviction under a criminal statute but likewise embraces those which would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute the claimant for a crime. Id, citing Blau v. United States, 1950, 340 U.S. 159, 71 S.Ct. 223. The Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination "permits a person not to answer official questions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings." Edwin v. Price, 778 F.2d at 669, citing Leflcowitz v. Turley, 414 U.S. 70, 77, 94 S.C. 316, 322 (1973). As EPSTEIN is here, "the claimant must be `confronted by substantial and `real,' and not merely trifling or imaginary, hazards of incrimination."' See generally, United States v. Apfelbaum. 445 + +U.S. 115, 128, 100 S.Ct. 948, 956, 63 L.Ed.2d 250 (1980)). See also, United States v. Neff, 615 F.2d 1235, 1239 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 447 U.S. 925, 100 S.Ct. 3018, 65 L.Ed.2d 1117 (1980)(Information is protected by the privilege not only if it would support a criminal conviction, but even if “the responses would merely ‘provide a lead or clue’ to evidence having a tendency to incriminate.’”). EPSTEIN falls under each of the above category of cases. + +The United States Supreme Court has made clear that the scope of the Fifth Amendment Privilege also encompasses the circumstance where “the act of producing documents in response to a subpoena (or production request) has a compelled testimonial aspect.” United States v. Hubbell, 530 U.S. 27, 36, 120 S.Ct. 2037, 2043 (2000); see also Fisher v. United States, 425 U.S. 391 (1976). In explaining the application of the privilege, the Supreme Court stated: + +We have held that “the act of production” itself may implicitly communicate “statements of fact.” By “producing documents in compliance with a subpoena, the witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control, and were authentic.” Moreover, as was true in this case, when the custodian of documents responds to a subpoena, he may be compelled to take the witness stand and answer questions designed to determine whether he has produced everything demanded by the subpoena. The answers to those questions, as well as the act of production itself, may certainly communicate information about the existence, custody, and authenticity of the documents. Whether the constitutional privilege protects the answers to such questions, or protects the act of production itself, is a question that is distinct from the question whether the unprotected contents of the documents themselves are incriminating. + +“The issue presented in those cases was whether the act of producing subpoenaed documents, not itself the making of a statement, might nonetheless have some protected testimonial aspects. The Court concluded that the act of production could constitute protected testimonial communication because it might entail implicit statements of fact: by producing documents in compliance with a subpoena, the witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control, and were authentic. United States v. Doe, 465 U.S., at 613, and n. 11, 104 S.Ct. 1237; Fisher, 425 U.S., at 409-410, 96 S.Ct. 1569; *id.*, at 428, 432, 96 S.Ct. 1569 (concurring opinions). See Braswell v. United States, [487 U.S.] at 104, 108 S.Ct. 2284; [*id.*] at 122, 108 S.Ct. 2284 (dissenting opinion). Thus, the Court made clear that the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination applies to acts + +that imply assertions of fact."... An examination of the Court's application of these principles in other cases indicates the Court's recognition that, in order to be testimonial, an accused's communication must itself, explicitly or implicitly, relate a factual assertion or disclose information. Only then is a person compelled to be a `witness' against himself." Doe v. United States. 487 U.S., at 209-210. 108 S.Ct. 2341 (footnote omitted). + +Finally, the phrase "in any criminal case" in the text of the Fifth Amendment might have been read to limit its coverage to compelled testimony that is used against the defendant in the trial itself. It has, however, long been settled that its protection encompasses compelled statements that lead to the discovery of incriminating evidence even though the statements themselves are not incriminating and are not introduced into evidence. Thus, a half century ago we held that a trial judge had erroneously rejected a defendant's claim of privilege on the ground that his answer to the pending question would not itself constitute evidence of the charged offense. As we explained: + +"The privilege afforded not only extends to answers that would in themselves support a conviction under a federal criminal statute but likewise embraces those which would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute the claimant for a federal crime." Hoffman v. United States, 341 U.S. 479. 486. 71 S.Ct. 814. 95 L.Ed. 1118 (1951). + +Compelled testimony that communicates information that may "lead to incriminating evidence" is privileged even if the information itself is not inculpatory. Doe v. United Stales. 487 U.S. 201. 208. n. 6. 108 S.Ct. 2341. 101 L.Ed.2d 184 (1988). It's the Fifth Amendment's protection against the prosecutor's use of incriminating information derived directly or indirectly from the compelled testimony of the respondent that is of primary relevance in this case. + +The privilege against self-incrimination may be asserted during discovery when a litigant has "reasonable grounds to believe that the response would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against a litigant." A witness, including a civil defendant, is entitled to invoke the Fifth Amendment privilege whenever there is a realistic possibility that the answer to a question could be used in anyway to convict the witness of a crime or could aid in the development of other incriminating evidence that can be used at trial. Id; Pillsbury Company + +v. Conboy, 495 U.S. 248, 103 S.Ct. 608 (1983). See also Hubbell, supra, as to what is encompassed by the phrase "in any criminal case" contained in the Fifth Amendment. + +As noted, the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination is broad. Hoffman; In re= Financial Svcs.,supra. To deny a witness the right to invoke the privilege, the judge must be perfectly clear, from a careful consideration of all the circumstances in the case, that the witness is mistaken, and that the answers cannot possibly have such tendency to incriminate. LI at 488, 399. Recognizing the breadth and magnitude of this constitutional privilege, the United States Supreme Court in discussing how a court is to analyze the application of the privilege stated — + +... It is for the court to say whether his silence is justified, Rogers v. United States, 1951, 340 U.S. 367, 71 S.Ct. 438, and to require him to answer if 'it clearly appears to the court that he is mistaken.' Temple v. Commonwealth 1880, 75 Va. 892, 899. However, if the witness, upon interposing his claim, were required to prove the hazard in the sense in which a claim is usually required to be established in court, he would be compelled to surrender the very protection which the privilege is designed to guarantee. To sustain the privilege, it need only be evident from the implications of the question, in the setting in which it is asked, that a responsive answer to the question or an explanation of why it cannot be answered might be dangerous because injurious disclosure could result. The trial judge in appraising the claim `must be governed as much by his personal perception of the peculiarities of the case as by the facts actually in evidence.' + +Hoffman,supra at 486-487. + +Hoffman and its progeny establish that "in view of the liberal construction of the provision [protecting against self-incrimination], after a witness has asserted the privilege, he should be compelled to provide the requested information only if it "clearly atmears" to the court that the witness was mistaken in his invocation of the privilege." (Emphasis added). In re Financial Svcs.,supra at 399, citing Hoffman at 486. + +In the instant case, the privilege applies as Defendant EPSTEIN "has reasonable cause to apprehend danger from a direct answer." The risk of incrimination resulting from being subject to discovery or to testify in his own defense while the NPA exists is "substantial and real" and "not trifling or imaginary haphazards of communication." See generally, In re= Financial Svcs., supra at 400. Based on the nature of Plaintiff's claims, along with the ongoing scrutiny of the USAO in the criminal matters, EPSTEIN has "reasonable grounds to believe that his responses to the discovery would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against him. Finally, in order to preserve the privilege, the privilege must be asserted or one risks the loss or waiver of this liberty ensuring protection. generally, U.S. v. .a , 846 F.2d 678, 690 (11th Cir. 1988X"First, it ignores the settled principle which requires a witness to assert his Fifth Amendment rights. A witness who testifies at any proceeding, instead of asserting his Fifth Amendment rights, loses the privilege. ... A civil deponent cannot choose to answer questions with the expectation of later asserting the Fifth Amendment."). + +Also applicable in upholding the assertion of the Fifth Amendment privilege is the guarantee of effective assistance of counsel by the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. See Yarborough v. Gentry, 124 S.Ct. 1, 540 U.S. 1, 157 L.Ed.2d 1 (2003XSixth Amendment guarantees criminal defendants effective assistance of counsel.), on remand 381 F.3d 1219. The United States Constitutional guarantees are applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. Obviously, EPSTEIN's assertion of his constitutional privileges and protections is on the advice of counsel. Again, EPSTEIN continues to face criminal prosecution by the USAO until the expiration of the NPA; under the constitutional guarantee of effective assistance of + +counsel, he is entitled to follow the recommended advice of his criminal defense attorney. See Goldberger Affidavit attached hereto. + +EPSTEIN's invocation of his constitutional protections of the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments must be upheld for the reasons set forth herein; otherwise such constitutional protections would be rendered meaningless. Thus, EPSTEIN's entitlement to a stay is ripe for determination. + +Based upon the foregoing, a stay is warranted in this action as the Defendant is being forced to choose between the assertion of his Fifth Amendment right or losing this case by judgment (summary or otherwise) or waiver of his 5al, Amendment right and face potential criminal prosecution. + +> By: ROB RT D.

We decline to issue the writ of certiorari. + +Balas and Shumate filed suit against Ruzzo and Exec, Inc., doing business as "The Boardroom." According to Balas and Shumate, The Boardroom operates ostensibly as **\*1077** a leisure spa but actually is a house of prostitution. Balas worked at The Boardroom from December 1993 until February 1996; Shumate worked there from October 1992 until March 1996. Ruzzo, the sole officer and shareholder of Exec, Inc., collected about fifty to sixty percent of each employees' earnings from performing sexual acts. + +According to Balas and Shumate, Ruzzo exerted mental and emotional control over her employees and thus she was able to exploit them as prostitutes. Ruzzo required her employees to pay her substantial sums of money to attend "metaphysical workshops" conducted by Ruzzo or persons associated with her. At the work place, the employees were required to participate in religious and quasi-religious "circles," rituals and incantations. These practices were allegedly designed to break down the personalities of the women who worked for Ruzzo and to ██████████ dependency and loyalty to herself. At one time when the earnings of a new employee were missing and believed to be stolen, Ruzzo required that the petitioners be strip searched and body cavity searched. Ruzzo caused the petitioners to believe their continued employment was dependent on their submission to these searches and that they might be arrested on felony charges if they refused to submit to the searches. + +Balas and Shumate's second amended complaint against Ruzzo contains seven counts. Count I is an action for coercion of prostitution pursuant to section 796.09, Florida Statutes. Petitioners allege the requirement that they perform sexual acts to retain their employment constitutes inducement and coercion to engage in prostitution. Count II is a claim for battery for the unwanted and offensive touching of the petitioners' bodies. Count III is a claim for false imprisonment for physically confining the pe- + +titioners against their will. Count IV alleges that respondents' actions constituted an invasion of petitioners' privacy. Count V is a claim for the intentional infliction of emotional distress. Count VI alleges a civil rights action-that respondents have violated petitioners' right to be free from crimes of violence motivated by gender within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. section 13981. Finally, count VII seeks civil remedies for criminal practices or racketeering pursuant to section 772.104, Florida Statutes. The petitioners claim that they suffered emotional pain, anguish, humiliation, insult, indignity, loss of self-esteem, inconvenience, hurt and emotional distress. They seek an award of general and punitive damages, among other relief. + +The discovery to which the petitioners are being required to respond is as follows: + +#### I. + +**Interrogatory 8:** Please advise how long have you been engaged in prostitution.... + +#### II. + +**Interrogatory 22:** State with specificity the manner in which the acts as described in your Complaint have materially affected how you interact with your husband, boyfriend, fiancée' [sic] or any other individual of the opposite sex. + +#### III. + +**Request for Production 30:** A copy of any photographs, movies or videotapes in which you performed sexual acts and/or simulated sexual acts in exchange for money or other consideration. + +#### IV. + +**Interrogatory 16:** Please list the names, addresses, telephone numbers and rates of pay for all employers for which you worked, including the + +703 So.2d 1076 +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla.

Langston*, 655 So.2d 91 (Fla.1995); *Amente v. [REDACTED]*, 653 So.2d 1030 (Fla.1995); [REDACTED] v. *Stardust Cruisers, Inc.*, 690 So.2d 743 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997). The concept of relevancy is broader in the discovery context than in the trial context and a party may be permitted to discover evidence that would be inadmissible at trial, if it would lead to the discovery of relevant evidence. *Allstate; Amente*. Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.280(b)(1) delineates the proper scope of discovery: + +*In General.* Parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, that is relevant to the subject matter of the pending action, whether it relates to the claim or defense of the party seeking discovery or the claim or defense of any other party, including the existence, description, + +nature, custody, condition, and location of any books, documents, or other tangible things and the identity and location of persons having knowledge of any discoverable matter. It is not ground for objection that the information sought will be inadmissible at the trial if the information sought appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. + +Nonetheless, the discovery of certain kinds of information may cause material injury of an irreparable nature. This includes the "cat-out-of-the-bag" material that could be used to injure another person or party outside the context of the litigation, material protected by privilege, trade secrets or work product. Discovery was never intended to be used as a tactical tool to harass, embarrass or annoy one's adversary. Rather, pretrial discovery was implemented to simplify the issues in a case, to eliminate the elements of surprise, to encourage the settlement of cases, to avoid the cost of litigation, and to achieve a balanced search for the truth to ensure a fair trial. *Elkins v. Syken*, 672 So.2d 517 (Fla.1996). + +Here the petitioners argue that the information sought to be discovered regarding prostitution and their sexual activities was propounded solely to embarrass them and to invade their right to privacy. The petitioners also claim that this information is privileged under section 796.09 and is not calculated to lead to evidence which would be admissible at trial. + +Section 796.09 provides a person with a civil cause of action for compensatory and punitive damages against anyone who coerces that person into prostitution, who coerces that person to remain in prostitution, or who uses coercion to collect or receive any part of that person's earnings derived from prostitution. In the course of litigation under this section, any transaction about which a plaintiff testifies or produces evidence does *not* subject the plaintiff to criminal prosecution or to any penalty or forfeiture. In addition, any testimony or evidence or any information produced by the plaintiff or wit- + +703 So.2d 1076 +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2375, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D169 +(Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076) + +Page 4 + +ness for the plaintiffs cannot be used against the plaintiffs or witness in any other investigation or proceeding, except one for perjury. + +Section 796.09(5) specifically provides that it is *not* a defense that the plaintiff was paid or otherwise compensated for prostitution, that the plaintiff had engaged in prostitution prior to any involvement with the defendant or that the plaintiff made no attempt to escape from the defendant. Section 796.09(6) provides that convictions for prostitution or prostitution-related offenses are *inadmissible* for the purpose of attacking the plaintiffs' credibility. + +This legislation was the result of the Florida Supreme Court Gender Bias Study Commission, which conducted an extensive investigation of prostitution in this state. The Commission's activities included interviews with law enforcement and corrections personnel, \*1079 judges, public defenders, prosecutors, drug rehabilitation counselors, social workers, medical personnel, prostitutes, clients and pimps. The Commission found prostitution to be prevalent and uniform throughout the state and law enforcement largely unable to deter it under prevailing social attitudes and judicial practices. The Commission further found that prostitutes are often victims of economic, physical, and psychological coercion, that most persons do not chose to become prostitutes, but do so to survive, and that ninety percent of street prostitutes, both adult and children, are controlled by pimps who use a variety of coercive methods to maintain this control. The Commission determined that clients and pimps are rarely prosecuted and, when prosecuted, receive light sentences; whereas prostitutes, who are mainly females, are frequently prosecuted and receive harsher treatment in the courts. The Commission recommended changes in the methods of intervention in prostitution from punitive to therapeutic, changes in the law to require more equal treatment by the courts of the prostitute in relation to the client and the pimp and to lessen the incentive to traffic in human flesh by giving the prostitute access to the judicial system without first having to be + +arrested. + +Under section 796.09, the petitioners' prior involvement in prostitution and their earnings from prostitution would be irrelevant. Hence discovery should not be permitted because such information would not be admissible at trial nor would it be reasonably calculated to lead to evidence ultimately admissible at trial. Even though the scope of discovery is generally quite broad, section 796.09 is designed to encourage prostitutes to sue their pimps. Thus the usually broad scope of discovery may be constricted so that prostitutes will not be embarrassed, harassed or hindered in their actions. + +[3] Had the petitioners brought their lawsuit against Ruzzo and The Boardroom *only* under section 796.09, evidence of petitioners' past prostitution, including with the Boardroom, and their earnings relating to such activities, may not have been discoverable. However, the petitioners filed a multi-count complaint for compensatory and punitive damages, alleging numerous causes of action against the respondents. These other causes carry no such protection from discovery. Since the information sought by discovery may be relevant or may lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in one or more of these *other* causes of action or to determination of damages, we cannot conclude that the trial court departed from the essential requirements of law in granting this discovery. *See* [REDACTED] v. *TIB Bank of the Keys*, 687 So.2d 895 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997) (by alleging fraud as well as breach of contract, purchaser placed at issue her reliance on venders' assertions, the veracity of financial documents she submitted to the vender, and the state of her mental health, including memory problems she was experiencing at the time of the alleged tortious conduct, thus deposition questions concerning her state of mind were relevant). + +Petition for Writ of Certiorari DENIED. + +THOMPSON, J., concurs. +HARRIS, J., concurs specially with opinion.HARRIS, Judge, concurring specially: + +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2375, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D169(Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076)There is a temptation in cases such as this to inquire which, the pot or the kettle, is imbued with the darker hue. Indeed that may ultimately be the question uppermost in the jurors' minds. But the issue presently before us is simply whether the pot, in order to establish the parties' comparative complexion, may discover the historical condition and the inherent characteristics of the kettle. + +We are here involved with parties that the limited record before us indicates were co-conspirators in a joint effort to violate Florida's laws against prostitution. The defendants are the owner/operators of a "social club" whose primary service is prostitution; the plaintiffs are employees of the club who provide such services. The employees are suing the owner/operators for, among other counts, taking advantage of their vulnerabilities ("coercing" them to be prostitutes) through manipulation and exploitation. In order to prepare a defense to the action, defendants have filed certain interrogatories for the employees to answer. These interrogatories\*1080 request such information as how long the employees have been engaged in prostitution; how the employees have been affected by the defendants' conduct; copies of photographs, movies, and videotapes in which the employees have performed sexual acts or simulated sexual acts; the names of previous employers and previous rates of pay; and a statement of income received from defendants. These interrogatories survived the employees' objections. I agree certiorari should be denied. + +The employees' primary cause of action is based on section 796.09(1), Florida Statutes, which provides: + +(1) A person has a cause of action for compensatory and punitive damages against: + +(a) A person who coerces that person into prostitution; + +(b) A person who coerces that person to remain in prostitution, or + +(c) A person who uses coercion to collect or receive + +any part of that person's earnings derived from prostitution. + +The employees resist discovery of their past prostitution or their past or present earning experience on the basis of subparagraph 5 of section 796.09: + +(5) It does not constitute a defense to a complaint under this section that: + +a) The plaintiff was paid or otherwise compensated for acts of prostitution; + +b) The plaintiff engaged in acts of prostitution prior to any involvement with the defendant ... + +But the question before us is not whether prior acts of prostitution (or the receipts of earnings therefrom) which might be revealed by answering the interrogatories could be used as a defense to the complaint, but rather whether evidence of such conduct or such earnings would be relevant in determining whether the employees were, in fact, "coerced" into prostitution, into remaining prostitutes, or into sharing the proceeds of their services with defendants. The relevancy of this information depends, of course, on what constitutes coercion. + +If we apply the definition of "coercion" which is commonly accepted, then the relevancy of the requested information is apparent and this appeal has no merit at all. Webster defines "coercion" as: (1) to restrain or dominate by force, (2) to compel an act or choice, or (3) to enforce or bring about by force or threat. In sexual battery cases, the legislature has adopted the common meaning of the word "coercion" and has even placed limits on it. It has provided that consent will not be recognized if submission is *coerced* by threats of force or violence *if* the victim reasonably believes the perpetrator has the present ability to execute the threat.FN1 Consent also will not be recognized if submission is *coerced* by a threat of retaliation against the victim or another *if* the victim reasonably believes that the perpetrator has the ability to execute the threat in the future.FN2 And in sexual battery cases, the legislature has vitiated what might otherwise be con- + +© 2009 Thomson Reuters/West.

Therefore, even in sexual battery cases, before coercion or exploitation will vitiate consent, the free will of the victim must be overcome by force or threat or some unfortunate circumstance suffered by the victim. + +> FNI.

Section 794.011(4)(a),(d),(e). and (0, Florida Statutes. + +But then we get to the definition of "coercion" contained in section 796.09(3): + +:3) As used in this section, the term "coercion" means any practice of dominion, restraint, or inducement for the purpose of or with the reasonably foreseeable effect of causing another person to engage in or remain in prostitution or to relinquish earnings derived from prostitution, and includes, but is not limited to: + +:a) Physical force or threats of physical force + +:b) Physical or mental torture. + +:c) Kidnapping. + +'1081 (d) Blackmail. + +,'e) Extortion or claims of indebtedness. + +',f) Threats of legal complaint or report of delinquency. + +,'g) Threat to interfere with parental rights or responsibilities, whether by judicial or administrative action or otherwise. + +:h) Promise of legal benefit. + +',I) Promise of greater financial rewards. + +'j) Promise of marriage. + +:k) Restraint of Speech or communications with others. + +',/ ) Exploitation of a condition of developmental disability, cognitive limitation, affective disorder, or substance dependency. + +:m) Exploitation of victimization by sexual abuse. + +;n) Exploitation of pornographic performance. + +:0) Exploitation of human needs for food, shelter, safety, or affection. + +The definition urged by the employees herein is the "promise of a greater financial reward." Whether the requested information is relevant to the issue of coercion in this case will depend on what the legislature intended by subsection (I) in the meaning of "coercion." + +I agree with Judge Altenbemd's thoughtful analysis in State v. Brigham, 694 So.2d 793 (1997): + +There can be no dispute that the legislature's unusual definition of "percent" is not a common dictionary definition. This is perhaps an appropriate case in which to remind ourselves of Learned Hand's famous observation that a "mature and developed jurisprudence" does not "make a fortress out of the dictionary." + +But even so. one would expect some nexus between the commonly accepted meaning of a word and the definition of that word ascribed by the legislature. If, for example, the legislature defined "canine" as including cats, although one might, jurisprudentially speaking, expect to hear a meow emanate from a Great Dane, the courts should nevertheless closely examine the legislative history to see if that is really what the legislature intended. The court in Young v. O'Keefe, 246 Iowa 1182, 69 N.W.2d 534, 537 (1955), stated this principle as follows: "But + +703 So.2d 1076 +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2375, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D169 +(Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076) + +Page 7 + +before a definition is construed so as to expand the meaning of a well-known word to include its antonym ..., the intention of the legislature to that effect must be clear." As Judge [REDACTED] observed in *Catron v. Roger Bohn, D.C., P.A.*, 580 So.2d 814, 818 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991): + +It is our primary duty to give effect to legislative intent and, if a literal interpretation of a statute leads to unreasonable results, then we should exercise our power to interpret reason and logic to it. + +\* \* \* \* \* + +Unfortunately, it is apparent that in enacting this legislation, the legislature has, without redefining the terms for the purposes of this legislation, often used terms with commonly accepted meanings for purposes at great variance from those commonly accepted meanings. + +In our case, the legislature did define the term for the purpose of the act. But because the term (coercion) as so defined can be interpreted two ways-one consistent with the commonly accepted meaning and one at variance-we should not accept the "antonym" unless such legislative intent is clear. A free will decision, even if based on a hope of financial gain, is the opposite of a coerced decision. + +The employees urge that the mere promise of a greater reward brings them within the act. But if the mere promise of a greater reward is sufficient to establish coercion, then anyone who makes a voluntary and reasoned exercise of free will motivated by the hope of economic gain has been coerced. This definition removes the element of compulsion implicit in the commonly accepted meaning of coercion and substitutes therefor the mere desire for financial gain. The employees herein assert that since they were offered "a greater financial reward" for providing the services performed by them through defendants' establishment, they were coerced into their prostitution activities. This equates the giving + +of an opportunity to make a decision with the coercion of that decision. But subsection (I) can also mean \*1082 that the promise of a greater reward is coercion *only if* such promised reward is sufficient to overcome one's natural revulsion to selling one's body for money. If there is no such revulsion, there can be no coercion. Becoming a prostitute only because one likes the hours and wages or "because it beats the heck out of working for a living" simply should not meet the test of section 796.09(1). + +At oral argument herein, it was suggested without contradiction, that at least one of the employees has a college degree and gave up a well-paying, legitimate job in order to engage in this profession for the greater reward. Section 796.09 does not appear to be a general prostitute's relief act. It is based on a report by the Gender Bias Study Commission which recommended the equalization of treatment in relation to the prostitute, the client and the "pimp." It is based on the premise that prostitutes are generally victims of economic, physical, and psychological coercion and choose prostitution in order to survive. Further, the Commission was concerned that 90 percent of the street prostitutes are controlled by "pimps" who use a variety of coercive methods to maintain control. It seems clear that the legislature was not intending to depart from the precepts of the commonly understood meaning of "coercion" and to redefine it to include both free will decisions and compelled decisions.. The interpretation urged by the employees seems at variance with the stated goal of the legislature and the Gender Bias Commission. + +Since there is no cause of action provided for one who makes a reasoned and voluntary exercise of their free will to enter or continue in the profession solely for financial rewards (assuming "coercion" is given the definition more consistent with its commonly accepted meaning and assuming that my interpretation of legislative intent is correct), coercion becomes the critical issue in the trial of such action. The interrogatories propounded by defendants appear relevant to the issue of coercion. + +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2375, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D169(Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076)This is a case of first impression based on a relatively new statute. As indicated, the legislative history of the new law suggests that the statute is designed to assist those who were forced to enter prostitution in order to keep a roof over their heads or food on their table. It does not appear to be intended to aid those who voluntarily enter the profession in order to drive a Mercedes instead of a █████. The limited record before us indicates that even beginning employees of the defendants (those who do not have an established clientele) bring in \$700 a day and can keep 50% of their earnings. Based on a five-day work week, this would reflect an income of \$87,500 a year even with a two week vacation. And the employees herein are not beginners. + +There is no indication that the legislature intended to legalize prostitution or to make it a respectable profession. It merely intended to place the prostitute on the same footing with the client and the "pimp." If a prostitute voluntarily makes the decision to participate, free from force, intimidation, or disadvantageous circumstance, then he or she is on the same footing as the other participants and should be treated the same. + +Although it might well serve a legitimate public purpose to permit the cannibalistic demise of such enterprises (and I am not unsympathetic with this view), that does not appear to be the policy behind the current statute. Therefore, in cases where coercion is not present (and this may or may not be one), the court should continue its tradition of not interceding in civil conflicts involving transactions that are either illegal or are against public policy. *See Wechsler v. Novak*, 157 Fla. 703, 26 So.2d 884 (1946); █████ v. *Ratiner*, 462 So.2d 1157, 1160 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), *rev. denied*, 472 So.2d 1182 (Fla.1985) ("An action may lie for interference with an unenforceable contract and even perhaps a voidable contract.

CRITTON, JR., ESQUIRE + +> U.S. Legal Support (561) 835-0220 + +that but I'd just like to do that. + +THE COURT: Right. And if you want to contact the other individuals saying, you know, I'm the one that's questioning whether or not these need to be before one judge. You may have a different perspective than your colleagues who are prosecuting some of the cases. + +I understand the damages. I'm not saying consolidate. I'm saying transfer. It's not a consolidation issue. Everybody gets that confused for some reason. The words are very different out of my mouth, your mouth and how they're written. + +So let me go ahead and take a gander at this. I did read it last night. I'm not sure that we need to get -- we need names? + +MR. CRITTON: Right. Well, here's what some of the issues are is that, as an example -- if I could approach the bench. + +THE COURT: Sure. + +MR. CRITTON: This is some of the information that we've obtained through discovery from some of the -- from at least in this instance, it would be this particular Jane Doe. + +THE COURT: You know who Jane Doe is I take + +it? + +MR. CRITTON: Right. + +THE COURT: You know who the Jane Doe is? + +MR. CRITTON: Yes, correct. And so this particular lady has kept in part a diary and she -- which appears to have started some time this is not in any way significant -- but some time after she learned that she could file a lawsuit. I think she's also been to Oakwood Center some time after she learned she could file a lawsuit and seek damages from Mr. Epstein. + +There's no history of this lady beforehand other than in some of the Oakwood records where she was Baker Acted, she started drinking beer at 16, she started Xanax at 16, started marijuana at 15, that she's sexually active. + +So how she has interacted -- she has a claim for emotional damages, mental pain and anguish, psychiatric-type damages. How she's interacted with friends, with family, the events in her life, school, work, her interpersonal relationships both with men and let's -- we'll use an example men here, but other individuals. She's saying that this event with Mr. Epstein, + +this sexual assault and whatever occurred during these events is that -- has caused her damage. + +And therefore damages in the case such as the emotional, mental, psychiatric-type damages are completely subjective, I mean separate and apart from any medical bills that may be -- which are clearly intangible. So these are intangible damages. And the jury is instructed, you know, you advise the greater weight of the evidence, what's fair and reasonable under the circumstances. + +So what we would have is basically this young lady's testimony as to what she claims her damages are and what the circumstances are with her situation with Mr. Epstein. She claims on page 13, you know, I love this guy, I'm dating this guy Chris. On page 15 -- + +THE COURT: Is this part of a diary for treatment? + +MR. CRITTON: I have no idea what it is. It was just produced in response to discovery. And she apparently started in, I think this is December of '08. You know I took Jay Lyntenis' girl to the zoo, had an amazing day, I love her, i.e., the girl. We have so much fun. I want a + +1 2 3 4 baby especially with him. Okay. So I know who this person is. We are all so open together, I love him and Jay and , what do I do with Chris, who is another guy in her life. + +5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 All right. This is circumstances where this young lady is saying, look, Jeffrey Epstein has ruined my life from a damage standpoint, okay. Let me depose other individuals with whom you've had a relationship. And what if it turns out -- as with some of these girls did -- is they had relationships or had escapades or circumstances with individuals, older men similar to Mr. Epstein well before Mr. Epstein. + +14 15 16 17 18 19 And this girl, I don't know one way or the other, but let's assume she had a situation where she was assaulted or molested or raped, ' that all is going to affect her emotional and her mental pain and anguish and it will all factor into evaluating damages. + +20 21 22 23 24 25 You know, it's not something that I'm going to spread around. I'm happy to keep it, you know, within the confines of the discovery of this case. But if she says every other relationship in my life has been perfect but Jeff Epstein has done this to me and it has affected + +my ability to trust men and my sexual relationships with other men, which is part of her interpersonal relationships, okay, let's talk to + +THE COURT: When does your client allege that she had her first encounter with Mr. Epstein? + +MR. : At what age? + +THE COURT: Well, what year? + +MR. CRITTON: June of '03. + +MR. : June of '03, Judge. + +MR. CRITTON: She claims from June of '03 through November of '04. + +MR. : She was I believe 16 at the beginning and ended at 17. She was a minor during all this time. + +THE COURT: June of '03 to now is six years. + +Let me hear from Mr. + +MR. : Judge, in the criminal case that was filed against Mr. Epstein, he would not have had a right to do this type of discovery and I -- if I could hand up -- + +THE COURT: They wouldn't care about the women. + +MR. : Right. Well, I mean -- + +THE COURT: This is damages. There's no - they weren't seeking damages at the time. + +MR. .: Right. And we have not alleged in the complaint or in the answers to interrogatories that her ability to have a relationship with aman has been affected by Mr. Epstein's conduct. + +We have alleged that she has been hospitalized for depression, anxiety but we have not alleged any damages concerning -- the only reason this would be relevant is if we were making a claim at her ability to have either sexual relations or to have emotional relations with men was effected by her experience with Mr. Epstein. + +So this damages' claim is just a smoke screen to attempt to get evidence to show the jury that this woman has had other consensual relationships with young men that are approximately her age what I would characterize as a slut defense. She had it coming to her because she engaged in other voluntarily consensual -- + +THE COURT: Mr. Critton wouldn't try the slut defense in my courtroom, I'm sure. + +1 2 3 MR. : Maybe not, but certainly that's the way this discovery is going. And, Judge, what -- + +4 5 THE COURT: What are the damages you think your client is seeking? + +6 7 8 10 11 12 13 MR. : She is seeking emotional distress damages for depression and anxiety and she has been hospitalized at the Oakwood Center. Her friend -- she was on the phone to a friend who called the sheriff's office because she thought she was suicidal. The sheriffs responded. They Baker Acted her that day and they took her eventually to the Oakwood Center. + +14 15 16 THE COURT: How do we know it's not intertwined with her rejection by three other men since Mr. Epstein? + +17 18 19 MR. : Well, even if it was related to her rejection by three other men -- you mean other men's rejection of her? + +20 21 22 23 THE COURT: Yeah. Well, how do you not know that? I mean you can't do it until you do discovery. Has anybody attempted to review the records from Oakwood to find out what's going on? + +24 25 MR. CRITTON: It's like a one-time visit when she was Baker Acted and then there's some + +> U.S. Legal Support (561) 835-0220 + +other -- + +THE COURT: She didn't receive treatment? + +MR. CRITTON: She received treatment for that day and she's been back a couple of times. She's on medication. Again, I don't know what or the extent but she's got -- her medical bills are de minimis. + +Again as an example, Judge, did the Court have an opportunity to look at the case that I also attached to the motion? Because there's a case that's almost on all fours with this which I attached to our motion which is called Balles versus Russo. + +THE COURT: Right. + +MR. CRITTON: It was a case where the plaintiff was sued -- the plaintiff sued the former owners of a house of prostitution. So that part is different, but within it there were a number of claims including a sexual assault claim and they sought emotional pain, humiliation and emotional distress. + +Within the complaint that was filed in this particular case, she is seeking severe emotional distress, mental anguish, humiliation, embarrassment, past and future, compensatory + +humiliation, loss of reputation, mental anguish, pain and suffering, the same type of damages. And what the Court said -- + +THE COURT: How old is she now? + +MR. : She's 21 now. + +MR. CRITTON: She's 21 now. What the Court said is, you know, if you'd only brought this claim under 796 evidence of past issues, it's not an issue. You can't use this defense for anything, but because you brought these other claims which include, you know, sexual assault and you're seeking damages for other causes of action since the information sought by discovery may be relevant or may lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in one or more of the other causes of action or determination of damages, we cannot conclude the trial court parted from essential requirements of law in granting -- + +THE COURT: So in other words, she's not only seeking -- she's seeking current emotional damage as a result of this relationship and you're trying to find out if she had prior relationships that perhaps could be intertwined with it so that it's not just Mr. Epstein's -- + +MR. CRITTON: Right. A perfect example is + +one of the cases that I have is there's ayoung lady who claims that she was molested in the past and raped, pretty significant issues, well in advance of her even meeting with Mr. Epstein. And they seem to play a large role in her psychiatric and psychological evaluation. + +We're going to come to the Court in this case as we have others and ask for a psychological evaluation of this lady, and if she was raped or if she was molested or just she had abad experience or some -- whether it was a young or old man assaulted her in some fashion, that may play a role in her damages and what -- + +THE COURT: What I'm going to allow for discovery purposes only not necessarily getting it in at the time trial are two years before her first encounter with Mr. Epstein and anything subsequent. + +MR.

She's doing it. She's the one seeking damages, and he is entitled to be able to confront other individuals to find out information that may be relevant to the damages she's seeking or she can drop the damages. That's her choice. If you seek damages, you've got to do it -- if you could put that in an order so that we have atime for him to do this. + +Just fill out an order, hand it back up to me and I'll deal with it. + +(The

Defendant further seeks an award of his reasonable expenses, including expenses, associated with the making of this motion. Rule 37, Fed.R.Civ.P. (2008); Local Gen. Rules 7.1 and 26.1 I-I (S.D. Fla. 2008). In support of his motion, Defendant states: + +### Introduction + +Prior to the filing of this motion, counsel for Defendant and counsel for Plaintiff corresponded with each other and were able to resolve some of the discovery issues related to Defendant's First Request to Produce and Plaintiffs Response thereto. By letter, dated March 3, 2009, the Plaintiff agreed to withdraw her "General Objections" set forth in her response. As well, issues as to production request no. 14 are presently + +resolved. This motion addresses those requests on which the parties were unable to come to an agreement. + +Also, Defendant has filed simultaneously with this motion a Motion To Compel directed to certain of Plaintiffs Answers to Defendant's First Set of Interrogatories, also dated January 26, 2009, and which addresses identical discovery issues.

Without waiving this objection, Plaintiff has no responsive documents in her possession. + +### Legal Argument Supporting Entitlement to Discovery Sought in No. 1 + +Plaintiff does not make a relevancy objection, but instead claims that the request is "not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence." Plaintiff also claims that the request is "overbroad" and "unduly burdensome," but fails to make any showing whatsoever how the request is overbroad or unduly burdensome as required under Rule 26(c) and Local Gen. Rule 26.1 H (S.D. Fla. (2008). On its face, the six year time period of 2002-2007 for Plaintiffs tax return's and supporting documentation is reasonable. Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint alleges that the alleged sexual abuse and exploitation of her by Defendant occurred in "2004." 2d Am. Complaint, ¶9. Plaintiff also states, without waiving her objection, that she "has no responsive objections in her possession." + +In her Answers to Defendant's First Set of Interrogatories, dated January 26, 2009, interrogatory no. 2, Plaintiff identifies one place of employment for a period of time of September, 2007 — February, 2008; she states she has been otherwise unemployed. See Exhibit D hereto for Plaintiffs answer to interrogatory no. 2. Should Plaintiff file or has filed such a tax return for such period of employment or has received any IRS documentation from her employer, Defendant is entitled to such documentation, as such information is both relevant and reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, requiring that Plaintiff's objections be overruled. + +It is well settled that relevant information is discoverable, even if not admissible at trial, so long as the discovery is reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Rule 26(b)(1), Fed.R.Civ.P.; Donahay v. Palm Beach Tours & trans. Inc. 242 F.R.D. 685 (S.D. Fla. 2007). Discoverability of such information is governed by Rule 26, Fed.R.Civ.P., pursuant to which the scope of discovery is broad. Donahay, supra, at 686, and cases cited therein. "Parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the claims or defense of any party involved in the pending action." Id. + +Plaintiff's tax returns, along with the requested supporting documentation, (for the six year period) are relevant to Plaintiffs damages claims detailed below herein. Such information would show Plaintiff's employment and earning history, as well as provide evidence as to how Plaintiff has been able to function in her daily life before, during and after the alleged incident. Was she self-sufficient? Was she able to get out of bed each morning and support herself? What type of job did she hold? One's ability to earn a + +living and be self-supporting has not only a financial component, but also an emotional/psychological/mental component. + +In her Second Amended Complaint, Plaintiff attempts to allege claims in Count I for "Sexual Assault and Battery," Count II for "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," and in Count III for "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C.A. §2422," and seeks damages pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255(a). (Plaintiff alleges diversity of citizenship as a basis for this Court's jurisdiction. 2d Am. Complaint, ¶5). Counts I and II are brought pursuant to state law. + +In her complaint, Plaintiff alleges that she has "experienced confusion, shame, humiliation and embarrassment, and has suffered severed psychological and emotional injuries;" "she has suffered and will continue to suffer severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages," and "severe mental anguish and pain." She seeks "actual" (Count III) and "compensatory damages." 2d Am. Complaint, ¶¶14, 20, 26, 32, and "Wherefore" clauses. In her answers to interrogatories no. 9, Plaintiff further states that: + +Plaintiff has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries, including without limitation, anxiety, anger, distorted and disrupted development, restlessness, distrust, self destructive behaviors, suicidal behavior, substance abuse, severe Xanax addiction beginning after her encounter with Epstein, corruption of morals, antisocial behaviors, premature teenage pregnancy, loss of normal adolescent ideals, loss of innocence. (Interrog. No. 9). + +In responding to interrogatory no. 10 which asked in part for each item of damage claimed, Plaintiff objected and stated that "discovery is ongoing and will be supplemented in accordance with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure." + +As discussed above, the tax returns, and supporting documentation, will provide direct evidence as to Plaintiffs claimed damages. Such information does not only go to + +compensatory or actual damages as alleged in the complaint, but also her emotional/psychological/mental health type damages. (Plaintiff did not answer interrogatory no. 10 regarding her items of damages as stated above). The time period will allow Defendant to compare how Plaintiff was doing in her life prior to, during, and after the alleged incident. To the extent that Plainitff has only held the one job as identified in her answers to interrogatories, Defendant is entitled to the tax documents requested. Accordingly, Plaintiffs objection is required to be overruled, and Defendant is entitled to the documents requested (to the extent they exists) for each of the years 2002-2007. + +# Production Requests Nos. 10. 11, 17, & 18 + +10.

Plaintiff further claims, without making any showing in her answer and without moving for a protective order in accordance with Rule 26(c) and Local Gen. Rule 26.1 H (S.D. Fla. 2008), that the interrogatory is "harassing,' "outrageous, offensive and is apparently posed for the purpose of intimidating Plaintiff."

Both Defendant's interrogatories and production requests seek information regarding Plaintiff's sexual conduct and history; Plaintiff raised the same objections. + +In her responses to nos. 10 and 11, Plaintiff also states that — "Without waiving this objection, none to Plaintiffs knowledge." Plaintiff's response is evasive — either the requested items exist or do not existed. Defendant is entitled to a better response specifically indicating whether the items requested in each of the production requests nos. 10 and 11 - (1) exist or do not exist; (2) are in the possession or control of Plaintiff or some other person that Plaintiff is able to identify; and (3) why Plaintiff qualifies her answer of "none" with the phrase "to Plaintiffs knowledge." (Did such items exist and Plaintiff destroyed or deleted them?) + +As to the relevance of the information sought, it is well settled that relevant information is discoverable, even if not admissible at trial, so long as the discovery is reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Rule 26(b)(1), Fed.R.Civ.P.; Donahay v. Palm Beach Tours & trans., Inc., 242 F.R.D. 685 (S.D. Fla. 2007). Contrary to Plaintiffs assertion, Rule 412 does not automatically result in a determination that such sexual history and sexual activity/behavior information is never admissible. In fact, written into the Rule are the procedures to follow in determining when such information is admissible at trial. The Advisory Committee Notes to Rule 412, Fed.R.Evid, makes clear that the procedures to determine admissibility of an alleged victim's/plaintiff's sexual conduct or activity in civil cases does not apply to discovery of such information. Rather, discoverability of such information is governed by Rule 26, Fed.R.Civ.P., pursuant to which the scope of discovery is broad. Donahay, supra, at 686, and cases cited therein. "Parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the claims or defense of any party involved in the pending action." Id. + +Rule 412, entitled "Sex Offense Cases; Relevance of Alleged Victim's Past Sexual Behavior or Alleged Sexual Predisposition," provides in relevant part - + +(a) Evidence generally inadmissible.--The following evidence is not admissible in any civil ... proceeding involving alleged sexual misconduct except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (c): + +(1) Evidence offered to prove that any alleged victim engaged in other sexual behavior. + +(2) Evidence offered to prove any alleged victim's sexual predisposition. + +(b) Exceptions.— + +(2) In a civil case, evidence offered to prove the sexual behavior or sexual predisposition of any alleged victim is admissible if it is otherwise admissible under these rules and its probative value substantially outweighs the danger of harm to any victim and of unfair prejudice to any party. Evidence of an alleged victim's reputation is admissible only if it has been placed in controversy by the alleged victim. + +(c) Procedure to determine admissibility.— + +(1) A party intending to offer evidence under subdivision (b) must- + +(A) file a written motion at least 14 days before trial specifically describing the evidence and stating the purpose for which it is offered unless the court, for good cause requires a different time for filing or permits filing during trial; and + +(B) serve the motion on all parties and notify the alleged victim or, when appropriate, the alleged victim's guardian or representative. + +(2) Before admitting evidence under this rule the court must conduct a hearing in camera and afford the victim and parties a right to attend and be heard. The motion, related papers, and the record of the hearing must be sealed and remain under seal unless the court orders otherwise. + +In confirming that Rule 412 does not control the discoverability of such information, the Advisory Committee Notes (1994 Amendments) state - + +The procedures set forth in subdivision (c) do not apply to discovery of a victim's past sexual conduct or predisposition in civil cases, which will be continued to be governed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26. In order not to undermine the + +rationale of Rule 412, however, courts should enter appropriate orders pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 (c) to protect the victim against unwarranted inquiries and to ensure confidentiality. Courts should presumptively issue protective orders barring discovery unless the party seeking discovery makes a showing that the evidence sought to be discovered would be relevant under the facts and theories of the particular case, and cannot be obtained except through discovery. In an action for sexual harassment, for instance, while some evidence of the alleged victim's sexual behavior and/or predisposition in the workplace mn erhaps be relevant, non-work place conduct will usually be irrelevant. Cf. v. McGregor Electronic Industries, Inc., 989 F.2d 959, 962- 63 (8th Cir. 1993) (posing for a nude magazine outside work hours is irrelevant to issue of unwelcomeness of sexual advances at work). Confidentiality orders should be presumptively granted as well. + +(Emphasis added). + +In accordance with Rule 412 and Rule 26, the discovery sought regarding any photos, movies, dvds, and videotapes as decscribed in requests nos. 10 and 11, and Plaintiff's sexual activity with males, as described in nos. 17 and 18, including whether she received any compensation or consideration therefore, are all relevant to Plaintiffs damages claims and the type of injury she claims she has suffered. Defendant has no other means of obtaining such information and obtaining such information through Plaintiff will better protect the confidentiality until the Court can make a determination in accordance with the procedures under Rule 412(c) whether such information will be admissible at trial. See Rule 412(c) quoted above. Defendant will agree to an order keeping the confidentiality of the information obtained through discovery. + +The evidence sought is relevant based on the facts and theories of this action. In her Second Amended Complaint, Plaintiff attempts to allege claims in Count I for "Sexual Assault and Battery," Count II for "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," and in Count III for "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C.A. §2422," and seeks damages pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255(a). (Plaintiff alleges + +diversity of citizenship as a basis for this Court's jurisdiction. 2d Am. Complaint, ¶5). Counts I and II are brought pursuant to state law. + +In her complaint, Plaintiff alleges that she has "experienced confusion, shame, humiliation and embarrassment, and "she has suffered and will continue to suffer severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages," "severe emotional distress," and "severe mental anguish and pain." She also seeks actual (Count III) and compensatory damages for her alleged injuries. 2d Am. Complaint,¶¶14, 20, 25-26, 32, and "Wherefore" clauses. In her answers to interrogatory no. 9, Plaintiff further states that: + +Plaintiff has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries, including without limitation, anxiety, anger, distorted and disrupted development, restlessness, distrust, self destructive behaviors, suicidal behavior, substance abuse, severe Xanax addiction beginning after her encounter with Epstein, corruption of morals, antisocial behaviors, premature teenage pregnancy, loss of normal adolescent ideals, loss of innocence. (Interrog. No. 9). + +In Count II, Plaintiff also alleges that Epstein's "willful acts of child sexual abuse" "resulted in mental or sexual injury that caused or were likely to cause Jane Doe's metal or emotional health to be significantly impaired." ¶24 + +Plaintiff also alleges that "Epstein's scheme involved the use of young girls to recruit underage girls." "Epstein's plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method" in the alleged recruiting of girl's to come to EPSTEIN's Palm Beach mansion and give him "massages" in exchange for money. 2 nd Am. Complaint, ¶9-12. According to the complaint allegations — "Upon information and belief Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for underage minor girls." ¶9. The "girl would be led up a flight of stairs to a bedroom that contained a massage table ... The girl would be alone with EPSTEIN; "Epstein would then perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, including + +masturbation." 2nd Am. Complaint, ¶12. Plaintiff alleges that "in 2004," "when she was only 13 years old" ... "fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims." ¶9, 13. Plaintiff alleges that "she was recruited to give Epstein a massage for monetary compensation." ¶13. She was brought to Epstein's Palm Beach mansion, and was led up a flight of stairs to a room with a massage table. ¶13. Plaintiff was directed by Epstein to remove their clothes and give Epstein a massage; "Epstein then sexually assaulted Jane during the massage. In addition, Epstein masturbated during the massage. Epstein then paid Jane money." ¶13. + +The items sought are clearly relevant to the injuries and damages claimed by Plaintiff. The nature of her claimed injuries and damages are such that Defendant is entitled to evidence which would show the nature of her relationship with males, whether she has suffered other acts of sexual misconduct, including exploitation and abuse, as alleged in her complaint, whether she suffered injury and damages as a result of the other claimed sexual misconduct with males, and whether she has willingly or not willingly engaged in sexual activity that has been photographed, or filmed by means of movie, dvd or videotapes. See United States v. Bear Stops, 997 F.2d 451 (8th Cir. 1993)(Defendant charged with sexual abuse of six year old boy was entitled to admission of evidence relating to victim's sexual assault by 3 older boys to establish alternative explanation for why victim exhibited behavioral manifestations of sexually abused child.). + +In further support of Defendant's motion, a copy of Balas v. Ruzzo, 703 So.2d 1076 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997), rev. denied, 719 So.2d 286 (Fla. 1998), is attached hereto as Exhibit A as it is on point to the discovery issues in this action, and the relevancy and + +discoverability of Plaintiff's history of sexual activity and any payment, therefore. See interrogatories 8, 22 and 30 propounded in the Balas case and footnote 1 herein. Additionally and significantly, in other pending state court civil actions against Defendant EPSTEIN attempting to assert similar claims and damages, the Circuit Court Judges have already ruled that such information is discoverable as it is relevant to the damages claims of Plaintiff. See Composite Exhibits B and C hereto. Composite Exhibit B are the Orders, dated February 23, 2009, entered in the case of A.C. v. Epstein, and Case No. 502008CA025129 MB Al, 15th Judicial Circuit, In and For Palm Beach County, State of Florida, which granted Defendant's motion to compel therein directed to discovery identical to interrogatory no. 18 above, and to requests for production nos. 17 and 18 addressed below herein. (In the A.C. case, the Plaintiff answered without objection interrogatories identical to nos. 19, 20, and 21 herein.) Composite Exhibit C is a portion the transcript from a March 3, 2009 hearing on Defendant's motion to compel discovery in the case of Jane Doe II v. Epstein, and Case No. 502008CA020614 MB AF, le Judicial Circuit Court, In and For Palm Beach County, State of Florida. Again, the Circuit Court Judge determined that the information sought is relevant to the issue of damages and, thus, discoverable. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court enter an order granting Defendant's motion to compel, overruling Plaintiff's objections, and compelling Plaintiff be to produce the items sought and/or to better respond to the requests as specified + +1 In Balas v. Ruzzo, supra, the Plaintiffs alleged a multicount complaint including claims for "coercion of prostitution" pursuant to §796.09, Fla. Stat.; for battery for the unwanted and offensive touching of petitioners' bodies; false imprisonment for physically confining the petitioners against their will; invasion of privacy; and intentional infliction of emotional distress. + +above.

We decline to issue the writ of certiorari. + +Balas and Shumate filed suit against Ruzzo and Exec, Inc., doing business as "The Boardroom." According to Balas and Shumate, The Boardroom operates ostensibly as **\*1077** a leisure spa but actually is a house of prostitution. Balas worked at The Boardroom from December 1993 until February 1996; Shumate worked there from October 1992 until March 1996. Ruzzo, the sole officer and shareholder of Exec, Inc., collected about fifty to sixty percent of each employees' earnings from performing sexual acts. + +According to Balas and Shumate, Ruzzo exerted mental and emotional control over her employees and thus she was able to exploit them as prostitutes. Ruzzo required her employees to pay her substantial sums of money to attend "metaphysical workshops" conducted by Ruzzo or persons associated with her. At the work place, the employees were required to participate in religious and quasi-religious "circles," rituals and incantations. These practices were allegedly designed to break down the personalities of the women who worked for Ruzzo and to ██████████ dependency and loyalty to herself. At one time when the earnings of a new employee were missing and believed to be stolen, Ruzzo required that the petitioners be strip searched and body cavity searched. Ruzzo caused the petitioners to believe their continued employment was dependent on their submission to these searches and that they might be arrested on felony charges if they refused to submit to the searches. + +Balas and Shumate's second amended complaint against Ruzzo contains seven counts. Count I is an action for coercion of prostitution pursuant to section 796.09, Florida Statutes. Petitioners allege the requirement that they perform sexual acts to retain their employment constitutes inducement and coercion to engage in prostitution. Count II is a claim for battery for the unwanted and offensive touching of the petitioners' bodies. Count III is a claim for false imprisonment for physically confining the pe- + +titioners against their will. Count IV alleges that respondents' actions constituted an invasion of petitioners' privacy. Count V is a claim for the intentional infliction of emotional distress. Count VI alleges a civil rights action-that respondents have violated petitioners' right to be free from crimes of violence motivated by gender within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. section 13981. Finally, count VII seeks civil remedies for criminal practices or racketeering pursuant to section 772.104, Florida Statutes. The petitioners claim that they suffered emotional pain, anguish, humiliation, insult, indignity, loss of self-esteem, inconvenience, hurt and emotional distress. They seek an award of general and punitive damages, among other relief. + +The discovery to which the petitioners are being required to respond is as follows: + +#### I. + +**Interrogatory 8:** Please advise how long have you been engaged in prostitution.... + +#### II. + +**Interrogatory 22:** State with specificity the manner in which the acts as described in your Complaint have materially affected how you interact with your husband, boyfriend, fiancée' [sic] or any other individual of the opposite sex. + +#### III. + +**Request for Production 30:** A copy of any photographs, movies or videotapes in which you performed sexual acts and/or simulated sexual acts in exchange for money or other consideration. + +#### IV. + +**Interrogatory 16:** Please list the names, addresses, telephone numbers and rates of pay for all employers for which you worked, including the + +703 So.2d 1076 +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla.

Langston*, 655 So.2d 91 (Fla.1995); *Amente v. [REDACTED]*, 653 So.2d 1030 (Fla.1995); [REDACTED] v. *Stardust Cruisers, Inc.*, 690 So.2d 743 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997). The concept of relevancy is broader in the discovery context than in the trial context and a party may be permitted to discover evidence that would be inadmissible at trial, if it would lead to the discovery of relevant evidence. *Allstate; Amente*. Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.280(b)(1) delineates the proper scope of discovery: + +*In General.* Parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, that is relevant to the subject matter of the pending action, whether it relates to the claim or defense of the party seeking discovery or the claim or defense of any other party, including the existence, description, + +nature, custody, condition, and location of any books, documents, or other tangible things and the identity and location of persons having knowledge of any discoverable matter. It is not ground for objection that the information sought will be inadmissible at the trial if the information sought appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. + +Nonetheless, the discovery of certain kinds of information may cause material injury of an irreparable nature. This includes the "cat-out-of-the-bag" material that could be used to injure another person or party outside the context of the litigation, material protected by privilege, trade secrets or work product. Discovery was never intended to be used as a tactical tool to harass, embarrass or annoy one's adversary. Rather, pretrial discovery was implemented to simplify the issues in a case, to eliminate the elements of surprise, to encourage the settlement of cases, to avoid the cost of litigation, and to achieve a balanced search for the truth to ensure a fair trial. *Elkins v. Syken*, 672 So.2d 517 (Fla.1996). + +Here the petitioners argue that the information sought to be discovered regarding prostitution and their sexual activities was propounded solely to embarrass them and to invade their right to privacy. The petitioners also claim that this information is privileged under section 796.09 and is not calculated to lead to evidence which would be admissible at trial. + +Section 796.09 provides a person with a civil cause of action for compensatory and punitive damages against anyone who coerces that person into prostitution, who coerces that person to remain in prostitution, or who uses coercion to collect or receive any part of that person's earnings derived from prostitution. In the course of litigation under this section, any transaction about which a plaintiff testifies or produces evidence does *not* subject the plaintiff to criminal prosecution or to any penalty or forfeiture. In addition, any testimony or evidence or any information produced by the plaintiff or wit- + +703 So.2d 1076 +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2375, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D169 +(Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076) + +Page 4 + +ness for the plaintiffs cannot be used against the plaintiffs or witness in any other investigation or proceeding, except one for perjury. + +Section 796.09(5) specifically provides that it is *not* a defense that the plaintiff was paid or otherwise compensated for prostitution, that the plaintiff had engaged in prostitution prior to any involvement with the defendant or that the plaintiff made no attempt to escape from the defendant. Section 796.09(6) provides that convictions for prostitution or prostitution-related offenses are *inadmissible* for the purpose of attacking the plaintiffs' credibility. + +This legislation was the result of the Florida Supreme Court Gender Bias Study Commission, which conducted an extensive investigation of prostitution in this state. The Commission's activities included interviews with law enforcement and corrections personnel, \*1079 judges, public defenders, prosecutors, drug rehabilitation counselors, social workers, medical personnel, prostitutes, clients and pimps. The Commission found prostitution to be prevalent and uniform throughout the state and law enforcement largely unable to deter it under prevailing social attitudes and judicial practices. The Commission further found that prostitutes are often victims of economic, physical, and psychological coercion, that most persons do not chose to become prostitutes, but do so to survive, and that ninety percent of street prostitutes, both adult and children, are controlled by pimps who use a variety of coercive methods to maintain this control. The Commission determined that clients and pimps are rarely prosecuted and, when prosecuted, receive light sentences; whereas prostitutes, who are mainly females, are frequently prosecuted and receive harsher treatment in the courts. The Commission recommended changes in the methods of intervention in prostitution from punitive to therapeutic, changes in the law to require more equal treatment by the courts of the prostitute in relation to the client and the pimp and to lessen the incentive to traffic in human flesh by giving the prostitute access to the judicial system without first having to be + +arrested. + +Under section 796.09, the petitioners' prior involvement in prostitution and their earnings from prostitution would be irrelevant. Hence discovery should not be permitted because such information would not be admissible at trial nor would it be reasonably calculated to lead to evidence ultimately admissible at trial. Even though the scope of discovery is generally quite broad, section 796.09 is designed to encourage prostitutes to sue their pimps. Thus the usually broad scope of discovery may be constricted so that prostitutes will not be embarrassed, harassed or hindered in their actions. + +[3] Had the petitioners brought their lawsuit against Ruzzo and The Boardroom *only* under section 796.09, evidence of petitioners' past prostitution, including with the Boardroom, and their earnings relating to such activities, may not have been discoverable. However, the petitioners filed a multi-count complaint for compensatory and punitive damages, alleging numerous causes of action against the respondents. These other causes carry no such protection from discovery. Since the information sought by discovery may be relevant or may lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in one or more of these *other* causes of action or to determination of damages, we cannot conclude that the trial court departed from the essential requirements of law in granting this discovery. *See* [REDACTED] v. *TIB Bank of the Keys*, 687 So.2d 895 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997) (by alleging fraud as well as breach of contract, purchaser placed at issue her reliance on venders' assertions, the veracity of financial documents she submitted to the vender, and the state of her mental health, including memory problems she was experiencing at the time of the alleged tortious conduct, thus deposition questions concerning her state of mind were relevant). + +Petition for Writ of Certiorari DENIED. + +THOMPSON, J., concurs. +HARRIS, J., concurs specially with opinion.HARRIS, Judge, concurring specially: + +© 2009 Thomson Reuters/West.

Weekly D169(Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076)There is a temptation in cases such as this to inquire which, the pot or the kettle, is imbued with the darker hue. Indeed that may ultimately be the question uppermost in the jurors' minds. But the issue presently before us is simply whether the pot, in order to establish the parties' comparative complexion, may discover the historical condition and the inherent characteristics of the kettle. + +We are here involved with parties that the limited record before us indicates were co-conspirators in a joint effort to violate Florida's laws against prostitution. The defendants are the owner/operators of a "social club" whose primary service is prostitution; the plaintiffs are employees of the club who provide such services. The employees are suing the owner/operators for, among other counts, taking advantage of their vulnerabilities ("coercing" them to be prostitutes) through manipulation and exploitation. In order to prepare a defense to the action, defendants have filed certain interrogatories for the employees to answer. These interrogatories\*1080 request such information as how long the employees have been engaged in prostitution; how the employees have been affected by the defendants' conduct; copies of photographs, movies, and videotapes in which the employees have performed sexual acts or simulated sexual acts; the names of previous employers and previous rates of pay; and a statement of income received from defendants. These interrogatories survived the employees' objections. I agree certiorari should be denied. + +The employees' primary cause of action is based on section 796.09(1), Florida Statutes, which provides: + +(1) A person has a cause of action for compensatory and punitive damages against: + +(a) A person who coerces that person into prostitution; + +(b) A person who coerces that person to remain in prostitution, or + +(c) A person who uses coercion to collect or receive + +any part of that person's earnings derived from prostitution. + +The employees resist discovery of their past prostitution or their past or present earning experience on the basis of subparagraph 5 of section 796.09: + +(5) It does not constitute a defense to a complaint under this section that: + +a) The plaintiff was paid or otherwise compensated for acts of prostitution; + +b) The plaintiff engaged in acts of prostitution prior to any involvement with the defendant ... + +But the question before us is not whether prior acts of prostitution (or the receipts of earnings therefrom) which might be revealed by answering the interrogatories could be used as a defense to the complaint, but rather whether evidence of such conduct or such earnings would be relevant in determining whether the employees were, in fact, "coerced" into prostitution, into remaining prostitutes, or into sharing the proceeds of their services with defendants. The relevancy of this information depends, of course, on what constitutes coercion. + +If we apply the definition of "coercion" which is commonly accepted, then the relevancy of the requested information is apparent and this appeal has no merit at all. Webster defines "coercion" as: (1) to restrain or dominate by force, (2) to compel an act or choice, or (3) to enforce or bring about by force or threat. In sexual battery cases, the legislature has adopted the common meaning of the word "coercion" and has even placed limits on it. It has provided that consent will not be recognized if submission is *coerced* by threats of force or violence *if* the victim reasonably believes the perpetrator has the present ability to execute the threat.FN1 Consent also will not be recognized if submission is *coerced* by a threat of retaliation against the victim or another *if* the victim reasonably believes that the perpetrator has the ability to execute the threat in the future.FN2 And in sexual battery cases, the legislature has vitiated what might otherwise be con- + +© 2009 Thomson Reuters/West.

Section 794.011(4)(a),(d),(e). and (f), Florida Statutes. + +But then we get to the definition of "coercion" contained in section 796.09(3): + +:3) As used in this section, the term "coercion" means any practice of dominion, restraint, or inducement for the purpose of or with the reasonably foreseeable effect of causing another person to engage in or remain in prostitution or to relinquish earnings derived from prostitution, and includes, but is not limited to: + +,a) 1 Physical force or threats of physical force + +:b) Physical or mental torture. + +:c) Kidnapping. + +\*1081 (d) Blackmail. + +,'e) Extortion or claims of indebtedness. + +'5) Threats of legal complaint or report of delinquency. + +,'g) Threat to interfere with parental rights or responsibilities, whether by judicial or administrative action or otherwise. + +:h) Promise of legal benefit. + +:1) Promise of greater financial rewards. + +,j) 1 Promise of marriage. + +:k) Restraint of Speech or communications with others. + +1,/ ) Exploitation of a condition of developmental disability, cognitive limitation, affective disorder, or substance dependency. + +:m) Exploitation of victimization by sexual abuse. + +:n) Exploitation of pornographic performance. + +:c.) Exploitation of human needs for food, shelter, safety, or affection. + +The definition urged by the employees herein is the "promise of a greater financial reward." Whether the requested information is relevant to the issue of coercion in this case will depend on what the legislature intended by subsection (I) in the meaning of "coercion." + +I agree with Judge Altenbemd's thoughtful analysis in State v. Brigham, 694 So.2d 793 (1997): + +There can be no dispute that the legislature's unusual definition of "percent" is not a common dictionary definition. This is perhaps an appropriate case in which to remind ourselves of Learned Hand's famous observation that a "mature and developed jurisprudence" does not "make a fortress out of the dictionary." + +But even so. one would expect some nexus between the commonly accepted meaning of a word and the definition of that word ascribed by the legislature. If, for example, the legislature defined "canine" as including cats, although one might, jurisprudentially speaking, expect to hear a meow emanate from a Great Dane, the courts should nevertheless closely examine the legislative history to see if that is really what the legislature intended. The court in Young v. O'Keefe, 246 Iowa 1182, 69 N.W.2d 534, 537 (1955), stated this principle as follows: "But + +703 So.2d 1076 +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2375, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D169 +(Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076) + +Page 7 + +before a definition is construed so as to expand the meaning of a well-known word to include its antonym ..., the intention of the legislature to that effect must be clear." As Judge [REDACTED] observed in *Catron v. Roger Bohn, D.C., P.A.*, 580 So.2d 814, 818 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991): + +It is our primary duty to give effect to legislative intent and, if a literal interpretation of a statute leads to unreasonable results, then we should exercise our power to interpret reason and logic to it. + +\* \* \* \* \* + +Unfortunately, it is apparent that in enacting this legislation, the legislature has, without redefining the terms for the purposes of this legislation, often used terms with commonly accepted meanings for purposes at great variance from those commonly accepted meanings. + +In our case, the legislature did define the term for the purpose of the act. But because the term (coercion) as so defined can be interpreted two ways-one consistent with the commonly accepted meaning and one at variance-we should not accept the "antonym" unless such legislative intent is clear. A free will decision, even if based on a hope of financial gain, is the opposite of a coerced decision. + +The employees urge that the mere promise of a greater reward brings them within the act. But if the mere promise of a greater reward is sufficient to establish coercion, then anyone who makes a voluntary and reasoned exercise of free will motivated by the hope of economic gain has been coerced. This definition removes the element of compulsion implicit in the commonly accepted meaning of coercion and substitutes therefor the mere desire for financial gain. The employees herein assert that since they were offered "a greater financial reward" for providing the services performed by them through defendants' establishment, they were coerced into their prostitution activities. This equates the giving + +of an opportunity to make a decision with the coercion of that decision. But subsection (I) can also mean \*1082 that the promise of a greater reward is coercion *only if* such promised reward is sufficient to overcome one's natural revulsion to selling one's body for money. If there is no such revulsion, there can be no coercion. Becoming a prostitute only because one likes the hours and wages or "because it beats the heck out of working for a living" simply should not meet the test of section 796.09(1). + +At oral argument herein, it was suggested without contradiction, that at least one of the employees has a college degree and gave up a well-paying, legitimate job in order to engage in this profession for the greater reward. Section 796.09 does not appear to be a general prostitute's relief act. It is based on a report by the Gender Bias Study Commission which recommended the equalization of treatment in relation to the prostitute, the client and the "pimp." It is based on the premise that prostitutes are generally victims of economic, physical, and psychological coercion and choose prostitution in order to survive. Further, the Commission was concerned that 90 percent of the street prostitutes are controlled by "pimps" who use a variety of coercive methods to maintain control. It seems clear that the legislature was not intending to depart from the precepts of the commonly understood meaning of "coercion" and to redefine it to include both free will decisions and compelled decisions.. The interpretation urged by the employees seems at variance with the stated goal of the legislature and the Gender Bias Commission. + +Since there is no cause of action provided for one who makes a reasoned and voluntary exercise of their free will to enter or continue in the profession solely for financial rewards (assuming "coercion" is given the definition more consistent with its commonly accepted meaning and assuming that my interpretation of legislative intent is correct), coercion becomes the critical issue in the trial of such action. The interrogatories propounded by defendants appear relevant to the issue of coercion. + +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2375, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D169(Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076)This is a case of first impression based on a relatively new statute. As indicated, the legislative history of the new law suggests that the statute is designed to assist those who were forced to enter prostitution in order to keep a roof over their heads or food on their table. It does not appear to be intended to aid those who voluntarily enter the profession in order to drive a Mercedes instead of a ██████. The limited record before us indicates that even beginning employees of the defendants (those who do not have an established clientele) bring in \$700 a day and can keep 50% of their earnings. Based on a five-day work week, this would reflect an income of \$87,500 a year even with a two week vacation. And the employees herein are not beginners. + +There is no indication that the legislature intended to legalize prostitution or to make it a respectable profession. It merely intended to place the prostitute on the same footing with the client and the "pimp." If a prostitute voluntarily makes the decision to participate, free from force, intimidation, or disadvantageous circumstance, then he or she is on the same footing as the other participants and should be treated the same. + +Although it might well serve a legitimate public purpose to permit the cannibalistic demise of such enterprises (and I am not unsympathetic with this view), that does not appear to be the policy behind the current statute. Therefore, in cases where coercion is not present (and this may or may not be one), the court should continue its tradition of not interceding in civil conflicts involving transactions that are either illegal or are against public policy. *See Wechsler v. Novak*, 157 Fla. 703, 26 So.2d 884 (1946); ██████ v. *Ratiner*, 462 So.2d 1157, 1160 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), *rev. denied*, 472 So.2d 1182 (Fla.1985) ("An action may lie for interference with an unenforceable contract and even perhaps a voidable contract. No such cause of action lies for interference with a contract *void* as against public policy [another's representation of a client obtained by a doctor/lawyer's illegal personal injury solicitation + +in the hospital] and which makes one who is a party thereto, as the appellant in the instant case, guilty of a criminal act for entering into such an agreement.") + +We are not asked in this proceeding to rule on the admissibility of the discovered information as evidence at the trial of this cause.

CRITTON, JR., ESQUIRE + +> U.S. Legal Support (561) 835-0220 + +that but I'd just like to do that. + +THE COURT: Right. And if you want to contact the other individuals saying, you know, I'm the one that's questioning whether or not these need to be before one judge. You may have a different perspective than your colleagues who are prosecuting some of the cases. + +I understand the damages. I'm not saying consolidate. I'm saying transfer. It's not a consolidation issue. Everybody gets that confused for some reason. The words are very different out of my mouth, your mouth and how they're written. + +So let me go ahead and take a gander at this. I did read it last night. I'm not sure that we need to get -- we need names? + +MR. CRITTON: Right. Well, here's what some of the issues are is that, as an example -- if I could approach the bench. + +THE COURT: Sure. + +MR. CRITTON: This is some of the information that we've obtained through discovery from some of the -- from at least in this instance, it would be this particular Jane Doe. + +THE COURT: You know who Jane Doe is I take + +it? + +MR. CRITTON: Right. + +THE COURT: You know who the Jane Doe is? + +MR. CRITTON: Yes, correct. And so this particular lady has kept in part a diary and she -- which appears to have started some time this is not in any way significant -- but some time after she learned that she could file a lawsuit. I think she's also been to Oakwood Center some time after she learned she could file a lawsuit and seek damages from Mr. Epstein. + +There's no history of this lady beforehand other than in some of the Oakwood records where she was Baker Acted, she started drinking beer at 16, she started Xanax at 16, started marijuana at 15, that she's sexually active. + +So how she has interacted -- she has a claim for emotional damages, mental pain and anguish, psychiatric-type damages. How she's interacted with friends, with family, the events in her life, school, work, her interpersonal relationships both with men and let's -- we'll use an example men here, but other individuals. She's saying that this event with Mr. Epstein, + +this sexual assault and whatever occurred during these events is that -- has caused her damage. + +And therefore damages in the case such as the emotional, mental, psychiatric-type damages are completely subjective, I mean separate and apart from any medical bills that may be -- which are clearly intangible. So these are intangible damages. And the jury is instructed, you know, you advise the greater weight of the evidence, what's fair and reasonable under the circumstances. + +So what we would have is basically this young lady's testimony as to what she claims her damages are and what the circumstances are with her situation with Mr. Epstein. She claims on page 13, you know, I love this guy, I'm dating this guy Chris. On page 15 -- + +THE COURT: Is this part of a diary for treatment? + +MR. CRITTON: I have no idea what it is. It was just produced in response to discovery. And she apparently started in, I think this is December of '08. You know I took Jay Lyntenis' girl to the zoo, had an amazing day, I love her, i.e., the girl. We have so much fun. I want a + +baby especially with him. Okay. So I know who this person is. We are all so open together, I love him and Jay and , what do I do with Chris, who is another guy in her life. + +All right. This is circumstances where this young lady is saying, look, Jeffrey Epstein has ruined my life from a damage standpoint, okay. Let me depose other individuals with whom you've had a relationship. And what if it turns out -- as with some of these girls did -- is they had relationships or had escapades or circumstances with individuals, older men similar to Mr. Epstein well before Mr. Epstein. + +And this girl, I don't know one way or the other, but let's assume she had a situation where she was assaulted or molested or raped, ' that all is going to affect her emotional and her mental pain and anguish and it will all factor into evaluating damages. + +You know, it's not something that I'm going to spread around. I'm happy to keep it, you know, within the confines of the discovery of this case. But if she says every other relationship in my life has been perfect but Jeff Epstein has done this to me and it has affected + +my ability to trust men and my sexual relationships with other men, which is part of her interpersonal relationships, okay, let's talk to + +THE COURT: When does your client allege that she had her first encounter with Mr. Epstein? + +MR. : At what age? + +THE COURT: Well, what year? + +MR. CRITTON: June of '03. + +MR. : June of '03, Judge. + +MR. CRITTON: She claims from June of '03 through November of '04. + +MR. : She was I believe 16 at the beginning and ended at 17. She was a minor during all this time. + +THE COURT: June of '03 to now is six years. + +Let me hear from Mr. + +MR. : Judge, in the criminal case that was filed against Mr. Epstein, he would not have had a right to do this type of discovery and I -- if I could hand up -- + +THE COURT: They wouldn't care about the women. + +MR. : Right. Well, I mean -- + +THE COURT: This is damages. There's no - they weren't seeking damages at the time. + +MR. =Mt: Right. And we have not alleged in the complaint or in the answers to interrogatories that her ability to have a relationship with aman has been affected by Mr. Epstein's conduct. + +We have alleged that she has been hospitalized for depression, anxiety but we have not alleged any damages concerning -- the only reason this would be relevant is if we were making a claim at her ability to have either sexual relations or to have emotional relations with men was effected by her experience with Mr. Epstein. + +So this damages' claim is just a smoke screen to attempt to get evidence to show the jury that this woman has had other consensual relationships with young men that are approximately her age what I would characterize as a slut defense. She had it coming to her because she engaged in other voluntarily consensual -- + +THE COURT: Mr. Critton wouldn't try the slut defense in my courtroom, I'm sure. + +1 2 3 MR. : Maybe not, but certainly that's the way this discovery is going. And, Judge, what -- + +4 5 THE COURT: What are the damages you think your client is seeking? + +6 7 8 10 11 12 13 MR. : She is seeking emotional distress damages for depression and anxiety and she has been hospitalized at the Oakwood Center. Her friend -- she was on the phone to a friend who called the sheriff's office because she thought she was suicidal. The sheriffs responded. They Baker Acted her that day and they took her eventually to the Oakwood Center. + +14 15 16 THE COURT: How do we know it's not intertwined with her rejection by three other men since Mr. Epstein? + +17 18 19 MR. : Well, even if it was related to her rejection by three other men -- you mean other men's rejection of her? + +20 21 22 23 THE COURT: Yeah. Well, how do you not know that? I mean you can't do it until you do discovery. Has anybody attempted to review the records from Oakwood to find out what's going on? + +24 25 MR. CRITTON: It's like a one-time visit when she was Baker Acted and then there's some + +> U.S. Legal Support (561) 835-0220 + +other -- + +THE COURT: She didn't receive treatment? + +MR. CRITTON: She received treatment for that day and she's been back a couple of times. She's on medication. Again, I don't know what or the extent but she's got -- her medical bills are de minimis. + +Again as an example, Judge, did the Court have an opportunity to look at the case that I also attached to the motion? Because there's a case that's almost on all fours with this which I attached to our motion which is called Belles versus Russo. + +THE COURT: Right. + +MR. CRITTON: It was a case where the plaintiff was sued -- the plaintiff sued the former owners of a house of prostitution. So that part is different, but within it there were a number of claims including a sexual assault claim and they sought emotional pain, humiliation and emotional distress. + +Within the complaint that was filed in this particular case, she is seeking severe emotional distress, mental anguish, humiliation, embarrassment, past and future, compensatory + +humiliation, loss of reputation, mental anguish, pain and suffering, the same type of damages. And what the Court said -- + +THE COURT: How old is she now? + +MR. : She's 21 now. + +MR. CRITTON: She's 21 now. What the Court said is, you know, if you'd only brought this claim under 796 evidence of past issues, it's not an issue. You can't use this defense for anything, but because you brought these other claims which include, you know, sexual assault and you're seeking damages for other causes of action since the information sought by discovery may be relevant or may lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in one or more of the other causes of action or determination of damages, we cannot conclude the trial court parted from essential requirements of law in granting -- + +THE COURT: So in other words, she's not only seeking -- she's seeking current emotional damage as a result of this relationship and you're trying to find out if she had prior relationships that perhaps could be intertwined with it so that it's not just Mr. Epstein's -- + +MR. CRITTON: Right. A perfect example is + +one of the cases that I have is there's ayoung lady who claims that she was molested in the past and raped, pretty significant issues, well in advance of her even meeting with Mr. Epstein. And they seem to play a large role in her psychiatric and psychological evaluation. + +We're going to come to the Court in this case as we have others and ask for a psychological evaluation of this lady, and if she was raped or if she was molested or just she had abad experience or some -- whether it was a young or old man assaulted her in some fashion, that may play a role in her damages and what -- + +THE COURT: What I'm going to allow for discovery purposes only not necessarily getting it in at the time trial are two years before her first encounter with Mr. Epstein and anything subsequent. + +MR. IIIIII: Judge, I just wanted to say on the record because I forgot to mention it, there's also -- I did state an objection to the identity of people that are unrepresented in this courtroom. They have rights too. So what I + +THE COURT: Well, my suggestion is that you send those people a letter and tell them that + +you're going to disclose them and if they have a problem with it that they come to see me before you disclose it. + +So I'm going to give you 20 days to respond to this rather than the usual five and that will give you time to put these people on notice and if they want to come visit with me and have a John Doe, I'll have aJohn Doe hearing but, you know, this is her case. She's doing it. She's the one seeking damages, and he is entitled to be able to confront other individuals to find out information that may be relevant to the damages she's seeking or she can drop the damages. That's her choice. If you seek damages, you've got to do it -- if you could put that in an order so that we have atime for him to do this. + +Just fill out an order, hand it back up to me and I'll deal with it. + +(The proceedings were concluded.) + +U.S. Legal Support (561) 835-0220 + +1 + +2 + +3 + +4 + +5 + +6 + +7 + +8 + +9 + +10 + +11 + +12 + +13 + +14 + +15 + +16 + +17 + +18 + +19 + +20 + +21 + +22 + +23 + +24

Fla. 2008). In support of his motion, Defendant states: + +### Introduction + +Prior to the filing of this motion, counsel for Defendant and counsel for Plaintiff corresponded with each other and were able to resolve some of the discovery issues related to Defendant's First Interrogatories and Plaintiffs answers and objections thereto. By letter, dated March 3, 2009, the Plaintiff agreed to withdraw her "General Objections" set forth in her response. As well, issues as to interrogatories nos. 10 and 14 are presently resolved. + +Also, Defendant has filed simultaneously with this motion a Motion To Compel directed to certain of Plaintiffs Responses to Defendant's First Request To Produce, also dated January 26, 2009, and which addresses identical discovery issues. Both motions should be determined at the same time. + +# Motion To Compel Answers to Interrogatories Nos. 18.19, 20, and 21 + +18. List separately the names, addresses and phone numbers of all males, excluding Mr. Epstein, with whom you have had sexual activity since age 10 (by year) up through your current age.

Moreover, this interrogatory is outrageous, offensive and apparently posed for the purpose of intimidating the victim. Fed.R.Evid. 412 makes any answer to this interrogatory inadmissible, and nothing in the answer could plausibly lead to discovery of admissible evidence. + +## Legal Argument Supporting Entitlement to Discovery + +Plaintiff does not make a relevancy objection, but instead claims that the requests are "not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence," claiming that such "evidence ... would not be admissible under Fed.R.Evid. 412." Plaintiff further claims, without making any showing in her answer and without moving for a protective order in accordance with Rule 26(c) and Local Gen. Rule 26.1 H (S.D. Fla. 2008), that the interrogatory is "harassing,' "outrageous, offensive and is apparently posed for the purpose of intimidating Plaintiff." + +It is well settled that relevant information is discoverable, even if not admissible at trial, so long as the discovery is reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Rule 26(b)(1), Fed.R.Civ.P.; Donahav v. Palm Beach Tours & trans., Inc., 242 F.R.D. 685 (S.D. Fla. 2007). Contrary to Plaintiffs assertion, Rule 412 does not automatically result in a determination that such sexual history and sexual activity/behavior information is never admissible. In fact, written into the Rule are the procedures to follow in determining when such information is admissible at trial. The Advisory Committee Notes to Rule 412, Fed.R.Evid, makes clear that the procedures to determine admissibility of an alleged victim's/plaintiffs sexual conduct or activity in civil cases does not apply to discovery of such information. Rather, discoverability of such information is governed by Rule 26, Fed.R.Civ.P., pursuant to which the scope of discovery is broad. Donahav, supra, at 686, and cases cited therein. "Parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the claims or defense of any party involved in the pending action." Id. + +Rule 412, entitled "Sex Offense Cases; Relevance of Alleged Victim's Past Sexual Behavior or Alleged Sexual Predisposition," provides in relevant part - + +(a) Evidence generally inadmissible.--The following evidence is not admissible in any civil ... proceeding involving alleged sexual misconduct except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (c): + +(1) Evidence offered to prove that any alleged victim engaged in other sexual behavior. + +(2) Evidence offered to prove any alleged victim's sexual predisposition. + +(b) Exceptions.— + +• + +(2) In a civil case, evidence offered to prove the sexual behavior or sexual predisposition of any alleged victim is admissible if it is otherwise admissible under these rules and its probative value substantially outweighs the danger of harm to any victim and of unfair prejudice to any party. Evidence of an alleged victim's reputation is admissible only if it has been placed in controversy by the alleged victim. + +(c) Procedure to determine admissibility.— + +(1) A party intending to offer evidence under subdivision (b) must— + +(A) file a written motion at least 14 days before trial specifically describing the evidence and stating the purpose for which it is offered unless the court, for good cause requires a different time for filing or permits filing during trial; and + +(B) serve the motion on all parties and notify the alleged victim or, when appropriate, the alleged victim's guardian or representative. + +(2) Before admitting evidence under this rule the court must conduct a hearing in camera and afford the victim and parties a right to attend and be heard. The motion, related papers, and the record of the hearing must be sealed and remain under seal unless the court orders otherwise. + +In confirming that Rule 412 does not control the discoverability of such information, the Advisory Committee Notes (1994 Amendments) state - + +The procedures set forth in subdivision (c) do not apply to discovery of a victim's past sexual conduct or predisposition in civil cases, which will be continued to be governed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26. In order not to undermine the rationale of Rule 412, however, courts should enter appropriate orders pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 (c) to protect the victim against unwarranted inquiries and to ensure confidentiality. Courts should presumptively issue protective orders barring discovery unless the party seeking discovery makes a showing that + +> the evidence sought to be discovered would be relevant under the facts and theories of the particular case, and cannot be obtained except through discovery. In an action for sexual harassment, for instance, while some evidence of the alleged victim's sexual behavior and/or predisposition in the workplacemerhaps be relevant, non-work place conduct will usually be irrelevant. Cf. v. McGregor Electronic Industries, Inc., 989 F.2d 959, 962- 63 (8th Cir. 1993) (posing for a nude magazine outside work hours is irrelevant to issue of unwelcomeness of sexual advances at work). Confidentiality orders should be presumptively granted as well. + +(Emphasis added). + +In accordance with Rule 412 and Rule 26, the discovery sought regarding Plaintiffs sexual activity with males, including whether she received any compensation or consideration therefore, in interrogatory no. 18, whether she claims other males committed sexual assault or battery on her in no. 19, whether she claims other males committed lewd and lascivious conduct to her in no. 20, and whether other males committed lewd or lascivious exhibition to her in no. 21, are all relevant to Plaintiff's damages claims and the type of injury she claims she has suffered. Defendant has no other means of obtaining such information and obtaining such information through Plaintiff will better protect the confidentiality until the Court can make a determination in accordance with the procedures under Rule 412(c) whether such information will be admissible at trial. See Rule 412(c) quoted above. Defendant will agree to an order keeping the confidentiality of the information obtained through discovery. + +The evidence sought is relevant based on the facts and theories of this action. In her Second Amended Complaint, Plaintiff attempts to allege claims in Count I for "Sexual Assault and Battery," Count II for "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," and in Count III for "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C.A. §2422," and seeks damages pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255(a). (Plaintiff alleges + +diversity of citizenship as a basis for this Court's jurisdiction. 2d Am. Complaint, ¶5). Counts I and II are brought pursuant to state law. + +In her complaint, Plaintiff alleges that she has "experienced confusion, shame, humiliation and embarrassment, and "she has suffered and will continue to suffer severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages," "severe emotional distress," and "severe mental anguish and pain." She also seeks actual (Count III) and compensatory damages for her alleged injuries. 2d Am. Complaint,¶¶14, 20, 25-26, 32, and "Wherefore" clauses. In her answers to interrogatory no. 9, Plaintiff further states that: + +Plaintiff has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries, including without limitation, anxiety, anger, distorted and disrupted development, restlessness, distrust, self destructive behaviors, suicidal behavior, substance abuse, severe Xanax addiction beginning after her encounter with Epstein, corruption of morals, antisocial behaviors, premature teenage pregnancy, loss of normal adolescent ideals, loss of innocence.

No. 9). + +In Count II, Plaintiff also alleges that Epstein's "willful acts of child sexual abuse" "resulted in mental or sexual injury that caused or were likely to cause Jane Doe's metal or emotional health to be significantly impaired." ¶24 + +Plaintiff also alleges that "Epstein's scheme involved the use of young girls to recruit underage girls." "Epstein's plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method" in the alleged recruiting of girl's to come to EPSTEIN's Palm Beach mansion and give him "massages" in exchange for money. 2nd Am. Complaint, ¶9-12. According to the complaint allegations — "Upon information and belief Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for underage minor girls." ¶9. The "girl would be led up a flight of stairs to a bedroom that contained a massage table ... The girl would be alone with EPSTEIN; "Epstein would then perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, including + +masturbation." 2nd Am. Complaint, ¶12. Plaintiff alleges that "in 2004," "when she was only 13 years old" ... "fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims." ¶9, 13. Plaintiff alleges that "she was recruited to give Epstein a massage for monetary compensation." ¶13. She was brought to Epstein's Palm Beach mansion, and was led up a flight of stairs to a room with a massage table. ¶13. Plaintiff was directed by Epstein to remove their clothes and give Epstein a massage; "Epstein then sexually assaulted Jane during the massage. In addition, Epstein masturbated during the massage. Epstein then paid Jane money." ¶13. + +The information sought is clearly relevant to the injuries and damages claimed by Plaintiff. The nature of her claimed injuries and damages are such that Defendant is entitled to evidence which would show the nature of her relationship with males, whether she has suffered other acts of sexual misconduct as alleged in her complaint, and whether she suffered injury and damages as a result of the other claimed sexual misconduct with males. See United States v. Bear Stops, 997 F.2d 451 (8th Cir. 1993)(Defendant charged with sexual abuse of six year old boy was entitled to admission of evidence relating to victim's sexual assault by 3 older boys to establish alternative explanation for why victim exhibited behavioral manifestations of sexually abused child.). + +In further support of Defendant's motion, a copy of Balas v. Ruzzo, 703 So.2d 1076 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997), rev. denied, 719 So.2d 286 (Fla. 1998), is attached hereto as Exhibit A as it is on point to the discovery issues in this action, and the relevancy and discoverability of Plaintiffs history of sexual activity and any payment, therefore. See + +interrogatories 8, 22 and 30 propounded in the Balas case and footnote 1 herein. 1 Additionally and significantly, in other pending state court civil actions against Defendant EPSTEIN attempting to assert similar claims and damages, the Circuit Court Judges have already ruled that such information is discoverable as it is relevant to the damages claims of Plaintiff. See Composite Exhibits B and C hereto. Composite Exhibit B are the Orders, dated February 23, 2009, entered in the case of A.C. v. Epstein, and a Case No. 502008CA025129 MB Al, 15th Judicial Circuit, In and For Palm Beach County, State of Florida, which granted Defendant's motion to compel therein directed to discovery identical to interrogatory no. 18 above, and to requests for production nos. 17 and 18 addressed below herein. (In the A.C. case, the Plaintiff answered without objection interrogatories identical to nos. 19, 20, and 21 herein.) Composite Exhibit C is a portion the transcript from a March 3, 2009 hearing on Defendant's motion to compel discovery in the case of Jane Doe II v. Epstein, and S Case No. 502008CA020614 MB AF, 15th Judicial Circuit Court, In and For Palm Beach County, State of Florida. Again, the Circuit Court Judge determined that the information sought is relevant to the issue of damages and, thus, discoverable. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court grant his motion to compel and award his attorney's fees and costs, associated with this motion, in accordance with Rule 37, Fed.R.Civ.P., and applicable Local Rules. + +## Rule 7.1 Certification + +In Balas v. Ruzzo, supra, the Plaintiffs alleged a multicount complaint including claims for "coercion of prostitution" pursuant to §796.09, Fla. Stat.; for battery for the unwanted and offensive touching of petitioners' bodies; false imprisonment for physically confining the petitioners against their will; invasion of privacy; and intentional infliction of emotional distress. + +I hereby certify that counsel for the respective parties communicated by letters in a good faith effort to resolve the discovery issues prior to the filing of this motion to compel. Some of the issues were resolved. + +![]()**Certificate of Service** + +I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true copy of the foregoing was electronically filed with the Clerk of the Court using CM/ECF.

Introduction + +In moving for stay, Defendant has the burden of demonstrating that, due to a parallel criminal proceeding, if he exercises his right against self incrimination he will certainly lose on summary judgment unless a stay is granted. Defendant has failed to satisfy this burden. There is no pending motion for summary judgment. There is also no criminal proceeding at this time arising from Epstein's acts against the Plaintiffs or other victims. Indeed, whether such a criminal proceeding is ever commenced is entirely within the Defendant's control, by complying with the terms of his Non-Prosecution Agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office. Defendant relies upon an amorphous possible breach of his Non-Prosecution Agreement with the U.S. Attorney, which does not give rise to the "special circumstances" necessary to warrant a stay. Finally, even if there were grounds for a stay, it would not be appropriate in these cases because Plaintiffs would be severely prejudiced by the delay occasioned by a stay. + +## II. Argument + +#### A. Defendant Has Not Demonstrated that He Faces a Certain Loss on Summary Judgment If a Stay Is Not Granted + +The Constitution doe not require a stay of civil proceedings pending the outcome of criminal proceedings involving a common defendant. Shell Oil Co. v. Altina Associates. Inc. 866 F.Supp. 536, 540 (M.D. Fla. 1994). A stay pending resolution of related criminal proceedings is warranted only when the defendant demonstrates that " 'special circumstances' so require in the `interests of justice.' " United States v. Lot 5. Fox Grove 23 F.3d 359, 365 (11th Cir. 1994). + +In the Eleventh Circuit, the "special circumstances" which may support a stay are limited. The fact that the Defendant may "risk a non-criminal disadvantage by remaining silent for fear of self incrimination in a parallel criminal proceeding does not rise to the level of an unconstitutional infringement."2 Shell Oil 866 F.Supp. at 540. Accordingly, the Defendant's right to silence is not a basis to stay the civil case pending resolution of a criminal action. Id. There is one exception applicable where a stay would be necessary to prevent an unconstitutional infringement of the + +' Defendant Epstein filed an identical Motion to Stay in the case Jane Doe v. Epstein, case no. 08- CIV 80893 MAR1a. Plaintiffs concur in the arguments made by Jane Doe's counsel in that case in opposition to Defendant's Motion. (Case no. 08-C1V 80893, DE 31). The same reasoning and arguments apply in the instant cases. Plaintiffs in this Memorandum will attempt to stream line and limit its arguments to avoid unnecessary repetition and duplication with the response in Jane Doe. + +'In this regard, The Defendant's silence by invoking the Fifth Amendment does not prohibit adverse inferences against him in the civil case. Shell Oil, 866 F.Supp. at 40.

defendant's right against self incrimination: "[T]he law in the Eleventh Circuit requires consideration of whether, as a result of invoking the privilege, the defendant faces certain loss of the civil proceeding on summary judgment if the civil proceeding were to continue." In re Financial Federation Title & Trust. Inc. 252 B.R. 834, 837 (Bankr. S.D. Fla. 2000)3 (citing United States v. Lot 5 23 F.3d at 364); accord Shell Oil 866 F.Supp. at 540 (noting that there is a "recognized exception to this general rule: the Fifth Amendment is violated when a person, who is a defendant in both a civil and criminal case, is forced to choose between waiving his privilege against selfincrimination or losing the civil case in [summary proceedings]").

The cases relied upon by Defendant are consistent with these authorities. In Ventura v. Broskv, 2006 WL 3392207 (S.D. Ha. 2006), the Court stated the rule that a stay is warranted to avoid a situation "where a defendant in both criminal and civil proceedings must choose between whether to waive his privilege against self-incrimination or to lose the civil case in summary or default judgment proceedings." Id. at \* I. Moreover, the stay in Ventura was granted on motion of the defendant Miami-Dade County Police Department because it would be prejudiced by its codefendant, a former police officer, asserting the Fifth Amendment and refusing to answer "in response to the civil Complaint and any discovery directed at him in the case." Id. Such concerns involving prejudice to a codefendant are not present here. In Securities and Exchange Comm' n v. Rehtorik 755 F.Supp. 1018 (S.D. Ha. 1990), another case relied upon by Defendant, the Court denied a stay of the case, and made clear in its holding that the defendant had not demonstrated that it would be subject to "automatic liability" on a motion for summary judgment:

'The Court in Financial Federation Title & Trust noted that the standard in the Eleventh Circuit is "more narrow and less subjective" than in other Circuits where a multi-factor test is used. M. at 837.

The defendants can exercise their Fifth Amendment rights in the face of the S.E.C.'s summary judgment motion by not presenting evidence which would implicate them in the alleged securities fraud. Though an adverse inference may be drawn due to their silence, the S.E.C. must still carry its burden of proving fraud committed by the defendants; their silence alone will not give rise to automatic liability.

As such, the defendants would not be compelled to speak. To speak or not to speak becomes, in such a case, a question of strategy rather than one of unconstitutional compulsion.

1.4. at 1020.

Accordingly, the Defendant's Motion to Stay is, at best, premature. Defendant Epstein fails to demonstrate that he is certain to lose on summary judgment if he exercises his constitutional right against self-incrimination. Indeed, there is no summary judgment motion pending. Defendant's Motion to Stay must accordingly be denied.

B. This Court Has Previously Made It Clear That a Stay is Not Warranted, and Circumstances Have Not Changed

Defendant previously moved for a mandatory stay pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3509(k). This Court denied that Motion on the grounds that there was no criminal action pending, a requirement for a stay under §3509(k). (DE 33). The Court in its Opinion also stated that a discretionary stay was not warranted:

The Court also does not believe a discretionary stay is warranted ... [T]he Court sees no reason to delay this litigation for the next thirtythree months. After all, Defendant is in control of his own destiny it is up to him (and him alone) whether the plea agreement reached with the State of Florida is breached. If Defendant does not breach the agreement, then he should have no concerns regarding his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. The fact that the U.S. Attorney (or other law enforcement officials) may object to some discovery in these civil cases is not, in an of itself, a reason to stay the civil action. Any such issues shall be resolved as they arise in the course of this litigation.

(Order Denying Motion to Stay, p. 4). In again seeking a stay, Defendant seized on the last sentence

quoted above and takes it out of context in contending that the time is now ripe for a stay. The Court stated that issues arising in the event that the U.S. Attorney or other law enforcement officials object to discovery can be resolved during the course of the litigation. (DE 33, p. 4). The Court was not inviting the Defendant to file another motion for stay later in the course of discovery. In any event, there are no changed circumstances which would warrant a different analysis and conclusion from that reached by the Court last August.

C. The Defendant Cannot Meet His Burden of Demonstrating Grounds for a Stay on the Basis of Vague Assertions of the Position of the USAO

There is no criminal prosecution pending for the acts of Epstein against any of the Plaintiffs in these civil cases. Epstein's Motion thus fails at the outset because there is no parallel criminal action.4 In any event, the Defendant vaguely asserts, without supporting documentation, that the "USAO has already attempted to claim violations of the Non-Prosecution Agreement." (Motion to Stay (DE 57), p. 2). The Defendant submits the Affidavit of his criminal attorney, Jack Goldberger, who asserts that "the USAO has taken the position on a number of occasions that it might consider" various actions by Epstein to be a breach of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. Nowhere does the Motion or this supporting Affidavit assert that the USAO has declared a breach of the Non-Prosecution Agreement, nor does it indicate that the issue of breach has been raised by either party in any court. It is therefore difficult to understand how this can be grounds for a stay. Defendant does nothing more than speculate on the intentions of the USAO. The Motion to Stay is therefore, at best, premature.

D. Plaintiffs Would Be Prejudiced by a Stay

' The cases discussing the stay issues are premised on a pending criminal action parallel to the civil proceeding. See gag, Rehtorik, 755 F.Supp. at 1019-1020; United States v. Lot 5 23 F.3d at 364 (quoting United States v. Little Al 712 F.2d 133, 136 (5th Cir. 1983)).

Because Defendant has failed to set forth circumstances that would support a stay, there is no need to proceed further. Nonetheless, Plaintiffs note that they will be severely prejudiced if a stay is granted. First, the stay requested is a lengthy one, to the end of 2010. Such a delay is simply unfair to the Plaintiffs, who are entitled to civil remedies for the wrongs that were committed by Epstein.

Additionally, the delay in discovery will be prejudicial to Plaintiffs. Investigation and discovery will become more difficult with the passage of time. The bulk of the allegations occurred in 2004-05, when the Plaintiffs were minors. Plaintiffs should not have to wait to engage in discovery. Finally, the delay occasioned by a stay would prejudice these Plaintiffs vis-a-vis other victims of Epstein who brought their claims in state court and would not be stayed, particularly if these other victims recover punitive damage judgments against Epstein before Plaintiffs have even had an opportunity to litigate their claims.

Conclusion

Based on the foregoing, Plaintiffs respectfully request that Defendant's Motions to Stay and/or Continue Action be denied in their entirety.

As to each of the ten above-styled cases, Defendant is limited to a single deposition of each Plaintiff, during which Defendant may depose the plaintiff as both a party and a witness to all other cases of a similar nature of which the plaintiff deposed is aware. Defendant should not expect to be able to re-depose any plaintiff relative to any new cases that may be filed. Therefore, Defendant should examine each plaintiff about the facts relating to all individuals of whom they are aware, regardless of whether an individual has in fact filed a claim against Defendant. In the event additional cases are filed, upon a showing of good cause, the Court will determine whether Defendant will be permitted to re-depose any of the plaintiffs as witnesses to the allegations made in those newly filed cases. + +Plaintiffs' Motion to Consolidate Cases for Purposes of Discovery is GRANTED.

Response In Opposition + +Defendant has no further objections to consolidating these cases for purposes of depositions as outlined in this Court's April 28, 2009 Order. + +However, to consolidate the cases for purposes of all "discovery" including, but not limited to, motion practice and related orders thereto will, without question, confuse many of the individual discovery issues raised not only by Epstein as to the individual Plaintiffs that have brought separate lawsuits against him, but will also confuse the individual discovery issues raised by those same individual Plaintiffs as to Epstein. This + +will undoubtedly lead to several motions to clarify certain orders which will seek explanation from the court as to how those orders affect Epstein as to each individual Plaintiff's discovery requests and vice versa (i.e., how those future orders affect the individual Plaintiffs' discovery requests directed to Epstein). + +It is important to note that each related Federal matter before this court has its very own distinct set of facts and defenses thereto. As such, the discovery served and the responses received are particular and individualized as to both Plaintiff and Defendant. As such, discovery of "all" cases for general discovery consolidation (separate and apart from depositions) will only cloud rulings on discovery and will result in more attorney labor and judicial resources, which will inevitably be spent on motions for clarification. + +Each Plaintiff and Epstein have served and will in the future serve separate requests for production, separate interrogatories, separate requests for admissions, and separate motions to compel, responses and replies addressing certain discovery issues. Obviously, both Plaintiff and Defendant will base their discovery related arguments on the particularized facts of each case, which are separate and distinct from one another. Moreover, the Plaintiffs will likely seek to retain different experts to support their individual claims. In that regard, how will a general consolidation of discovery impact discovery related to those experts' individualized opinions? + +As this court is aware, certain case management orders are in place setting the parameters of discovery. It is unclear how Plaintiffs' Motion to Consolidate and the Courts Order will handle the potential problems and any other potential discovery related issues outlined above. In fact, it appears that Jane Doe, in Case No. 08-CV- + +80893 (DE 47), has expressed her own reasons for opposing the consolidation all the cases for discovery purposes. Obviously, Jane Doe's counsel, like the undersigned, anticipates that discovery issues will present themselves if general consolidation occurs and does not want it to impact her case. In fact, the debates have already begun in light of this Court's April 29, 2009 Order and the responses filed addressing same. This provides the court with a glimpse of what will occur if general consolidation occurs, in particular, how attorney resources and judicial resources will be unnecessarily used. + +In addition, the initial style of each case should be maintained in pleadings and in orders in an effort to maintain organization and application of the rulings this court espouses for each case. Utilizing a compound multiple-type style will only confuse cases that should be kept separate for all discovery purposes. + +### II. Motion for Clarification of this Court's April 28, 2009 Order + +This Court ruled that cases 08-80119, 08-80232, 08-80380 and 08-80993 are consolidated for discovery purposes. Epstein not only objects to the court's consolidation order but seeks clarification from this Court as to how consolidation of general discovery will impact motion practice and orders in the above cases. What does the court mean when it says the above cases are consolidated "for purposes of discovery only?" How does consolidation operate? The concerns addressing general discovery consolidation are set out above and are therefore incorporated herein. Likewise, for those reasons, the court should reverse its ruling on consolidation and issue a new order maintaining the individuality of each case for discovery purposes. + +In addition, Epstein not only objects to the court's potential consolidation of case numbers 08-80381, 08-80994, 08-80811, 08-80893, 09-80469 and 09-80591 for + +general discovery purposes, but respectfully requests that this court clarify how consolidation of general discovery will impact motion practice and orders in the above cases should this court choose to consolidate same for discovery. Again, how does consolidation operate? The concerns addressing general discovery consolidation are set out above and are therefore incorporated herein. + +In short, the Motions seeking consolidation for discovery purposes only do not delineate how consolidation operates. As such, the Order granting the Motions to Consolidate for discovery purposes only does not provide any additional information addressing how consolidation will operate. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court not consolidate case numbers 08-80381, 08-80994, 08-80811, 08-80893, 09-80469 and 09-80591, that it clarify its order as to consolidation of case numbers 08-80119, 08-80232, 08-80380 and 08- 80993 (or the future consolidation of other cases) and that it reverse its April 28, 2009 ruling on general consolidation in light of the potential problems presented in this response, that an order be entered requiring the parties to utilize the style secured by the initial case filing and not a compound-case style incorporating all case styles in one particular document, and for such other and further relief a this Court deems just and proper. + +> By: ROBERT D.

EXPENSES + +Plaintiffs, JANE DOES 2-7, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby file this Memorandum in Opposition to Epstein's Motion to Compel Plaintiffs to Answer First Set of Interrogatories and for an Award of Reasonable Expenses, and state as follows: + +## I. Introduction + +Defendant Epstein served an Interrogatory (# 18) seeking to unearth explicit information on every bit of possible sexual conduct and activity in chronological order which each Jane Doe might have engaged in since age 10, including the names and phone numbers of all persons with whom they had sexual contact.' Plaintiffs properly objected to these interrogatories in that discovery on + +Plaintiffs also object to Interrogatory nos. 19, 20, and 21, served on each of them, which seek the identities and contact information of any men whom Plaintiffs' claim committed sexual assault or + +the sexual history of a childhood abuse victim is substantially limited in federal court, "courts should presumptively issue protective orders barring discovery unless the party seeking discovery makes a showing that the evidence sought to be discovered would be relevant under the facts and theories of the particular case and cannot be obtained except through discovery." See Fed. R. Evid. 412, Advisory Committee Notes to 1994 Amendments, subdivision (c). Defendant has made no such showing in his Motion to Compel to overcome this presumption. Accordingly, Defendant's Motion to Compel must be denied in its entirety. + +# H. Argument + +Epstein incorrectly argues that Fed.R.Evid 412 is strictly an evidentiary rule and that Rule 26(b) must be read exclusively to determine whether information about an abuse victim's sexual history is discoverable. The Rule 412 Advisory Committee Notes, however, instruct that Rule 412 affects not only the admissibility of evidence at trial, but must also "inform the discovery process." Barta v. City and County of Honolulu, 169 F.R.D. 132 (D. Haw. 1996). The Committee Notes state, in relevant part, as follows: + +> Courts should presumptively issue protective orders barring discovery unless the party seeking discovery makes a showing that the evidence sought to be discovered would be relevant under the + +battery, or engaged in lewd and lascivious conduct or exhibition, against them. Unlike interrogatory no. 18, which asks for information regarding all men other than Epstein with whom the Plaintiffs have had sexual activity, interrogatory nos. 19-21 are at least limited to criminal conduct. Nonetheless, these interrogatories are overbroad and unnecessarily infringe on the Plaintiffs' privacy interests, particularly since they seek identity and contact information of men other than Epstein whom Plaintiffs claim committed sexual crimes against them. As discussed infra, discovery on a victim in a case of this nature is tempered by Fed.R.Evid., 412, and, as a result, a party is not entitled to carte blanche discovery on sexual matters involving the victim. There must be a balancing of interests based on the discovery sought. Here, Defendant contends that the information it seeks in interrogatory nos. 19-21 is relevant to Plaintiffs' damages claims, but fails to state in this regard why the perpetrator's identity and contact information specifically is relevant and should be discoverable. This discovery should not therefore be allowed. + +facts and theories of the particular case and cannot be obtained except through discovery. + +Nowhere in Defendant's Motion is it explained how or why this presumption should be overcome. It is well established under Fed.R.Evid. 412 that a victim's past sexual behavior is wholly irrelevant to the credibility of her testimony, and that her prior and subsequent sexual activity with third parties has no bearing on the issue of whether she consented to or complied with the sexual acts charged. ee United States v. M, 472 F.2d 909, 919 (5th Cir. 1973).Virgin Islands v. , 634 F.Supp. 933, 936-37 (D. V.I. 1986) (policy of rule disallowing evidence to show character of assault victim); Dept. of Professional Regulation v. Wise 575 So.2d 713 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991) (holding that evidence of sexual relations with a person other than an accused is not relevant). One commentator has noted that once the identity of persons and similarity of circumstances are removed, "probative value all but disappears." See Ordover, Admissibility of Patterns of Similar Sexual Conduct: The Unlamented Death of Character for Chastity, 63 Cornell L. Rev. 96, 106 (1977). The discovery at issue is not limited to sexual contact involving similar circumstances, and is therefore lacking in probative value. Defendant fails in his Motion to demonstrate otherwise. + +Defendant's argument that Rule 412 is merely an evidentiary rule that should be disregarded in discovery disputes has been routinely rejected in federal courts. See tg" Barta v. City and County of Honolulu, 169 F.R.D. 132 (D. Haw. 1996) (granting protective order pursuant to Rule 412 to prevent a sexual battery and harassment victim from having to disclose off-duty sexual contacts with persons other than defendant in discovery); Herron v. Eastern Industries. Inc. 2007 WL 2781211 (N.D. Fla. Sept. 19, 2007); Gibbons v. Food Lion, Inc. 1999 WL 33226474 (M.D. Fla. Feb. 19, 1999); P.J. Herchenroeder v. John Univ. Applied Physical Lab, 171 F.RD. 179 (D. Md. 1997) (looking at both Rule 26 and Rule 412 in resolving discovery motion); v. 166 F.R.D. 500 (D. N.M. 1996) (explaining that lallthough the present motion arises in the context + +of discovery under Rule 26, the Court must remain mindful of Rule 412 and its implications); Stalnaker v. Kmart Cora., 1996 WL 397563 (D. Kan. 19%) (noting that Rule 412 "is applicable and has significance in deciding certain discovery motions"). + +As the above-referenced cases make abundantly clear, childhood sexual abuse cases are not garden-variety litigation subject to traditional broad discovery concerning a victim's sexual history. Rule 412 is designed to protect victims of sexual misconduct from undue embarrassment and intrusion into their private affairs. See Fed R.Evid. 412. The committee notes explain that the Rule is also intended to prevent "sexual stereotyping that is associated with public disclosure of intimate sexual details and the infusion of sexual innuendo into the factfinding process." Rule 412, Advisory Committee Notes to 1994 Amendments. Common sense dictates that requiring a sexual abuse victim to disclose the intimate details sought by Epstein during the discovery process — which then would presumably lead to additional discovery of the victim's other sexual partners — would be at least as embarrassing and intrusive during the discovery process as it would be if the victim were questioned about these facts at trial, if not more. Thus, in order to carry out its purpose, Rule 412 "must inform the discovery process" and the Court "must impose certain restriction on discovery to preclude inquiry into areas which will clearly fail to satisfy the balancing test" set forth in Rule 412. See Barta v. City and County of Honolulu, 169 F.R.D. at 135. + +In Barta, the Court confronted this issue in the context of a discovery motion in a civil case. 169 F.R.D. at 133. A former employee brought a sexual harassment and battery claim against her former employer and individual employees. Id. The defendants asked questions at deposition which delved into the plaintiff's sexual conduct outside the workplace. Id. at 134. The Court did not allow these questions and wait until trial to determine admissibility. Id. at 135. Instead, the Court sustained the plaintiff's objections. Id. The Court based its decision on Fed.R.Evid. 412. Id. + +Although noting that Rule 412 controls the admissibility of evidence, the Court explained that it must also apply Rule 412 to "impose certain restrictions on discover),to preclude inquiry into areas which will clearly satisfy the balancing test of 412(b)(2)..." Id. Thus, the Court concluded that the defendants should not be permitted to inquire into the plaintiff's conduct while she was off-duty, outside the workplace, and which did not involve the same defendants. The same rationale should apply here. The Defendant should not be permitted to seek intimate details of Plaintiff's sexual conduct throughout her life — particularly if it did not involve similar criminal circumstances such as those involving Epstein. + +Defendant attached three Florida state court orders to its Motion, two of which are trial court decisions. These cases do not serve as precedent for this Court, and in any event, they are not persuasive. Unlike state courts, federal courts must focus on the interplay between Fed.R.Evid. 412 and Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b), and in this regard must be concerned with embarrassment to the victim and protection of her privacy. Indeed, it does not appear that an analogous argument was made in any of the state court cases relied upon by Defendant. Furthermore, the discovery in Balas v. Russo, 703 So.2d 1076 (Ha. 3d DCA 1997) was far narrower than that which is at issue here. It was limited to asking plaintiffs for their employment history (which admittedly included prostitution), employment records, electronic recording of the conduct which was the subject of the complaint, and a description of her damages. 703 So.2d 1077-78. At no time were the plaintiffs in Balas asked to disclose their entire sexually history beginning at age 10. Id. Thus, the three state court cases cited in the Motion are not helpful to the Defendant, and should not deflect attention from the burden placed on the party in federal court seeking discovery of a victim's other sexual contacts. + +Finally, Defendant's request for attorney's fees and costs is completely unwarranted. The present motion and response involve good-faith, timely and well-founded objections by Plaintiffs to over-reaching and harassing discovery efforts. Accordingly, Defendant's request for award of reasonable expenses should be denied. + +### Conclusion + +Based on the foregoing, Plaintiffs respectfully request that Defendant Epstein's Motions to Compel Plaintiffs to Answer First Set of Interrogatories and for an Award of Reasonable Expenses be denied in their entirety. + +Dated: May 6, 2009 Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Adam D.

EPSTEIN'S MOTION TO COMPEL RESPONSE TO FIRST REQUEST TO PRODUCE, OVERRULE OBJECTIONS AND FOR AN AWARD OF REASONABLE EXPENSES + +Plaintiffs, JANE DOES 2-7, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby file this Memorandum in Opposition to Epstein's Motion to Compel Response to First Request to Produce, Overrule Objections, and for an Award of Reasonable Expenses, and state as follows: + +# I. Introduction + +Defendant Epstein served a Request for Production, which includes (Request #s 10, 11, 17 and 18) requests that seek to unearth all recordings and depictions of every instance of sexual conduct and activity which each Jane Doe might have engaged and documents evidencing the names and contact information of each sexual partner over the past nine years. Plaintiffs properly objected to these Requests, in that discovery on the sexual history of a childhood abuse victim is substantially limited in federal court; "courts should presumptively issue protective + +orders barring discovery unless the party seeking discovery makes a showing that the evidence sought to be discovered would be relevant under the facts and theories of the particular case and cannot be obtained except through discovery." See Fed. R. Evid. 412, Advisory Committee Notes to 1994 Amendments, subdivision (c). Defendant has made no such showing in his Motion to Compel to overcome this presumption. Accordingly, Defendant's Motion to Compel must be denied in its entirety. + +Defendant also seeks in Request #1 "all tax returns and supporting documentation" dating back to 2002. Plaintiffs properly objected to this harassing and burdensome request, which is not reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence in the present sexual abuse case, particularly since Plaintiffs are not making a lost wages or lost income claim. Plaintiffs have already disclosed their entire employment history and the request at issue is far broader than necessary to determine Plaintiffs' employment or earnings history. + +# II. Argument + +Initially, it must be brought to the Court's attention that Epstein's request for depictions or recordings of the plaintiff engaged in sexual or simulated sexual activity since the year 2000 includes materials which are unlawful for anyone to possess, particularly a registered sex offender such as Epstein. The notion that a registered sex offender is seeking child pornography should disturb this Court as much as it irks the Plaintiffs. + +Epstein incorrectly argues that Fed.R.Evid 412 is strictly an evidentiary rule and that Rule 26(b) must be read exclusively to determine whether information about an abuse victim's sexual history is discoverable. The Rule 412 Advisory Committee Notes, however, instruct that Rule 412 affects not only the admissibility of evidence at trial, but must also "inform the discovery process." Barta v. City and County of Honolulu, 169 F.R.D. 132 (D. Haw. 19%). The Committee Notes state, in relevant pan, as follows: + +Courts should presumptively issue protective orders barring discovery unless the party seeking discovery makes a showing that the evidence sought to be discovered would be relevant under the facts and theories of the particular case and cannot be obtained except through discovery. + +Nowhere in Defendant's Motion is it explained how or why this presumption should be overcome. It is well established under Fed.R.Evid. 412 that a victim's past sexual behavior is wholly irrelevant to the credibility of her testimony, and that her prior and subsequent sexual activity with third parties has no bearing on the issue of whether she consented to or complied with the sexual acts charged. See United States v. t 472 F.2d 909, 919 (5th Cir. 1973); Virgin Maris v. , 634 F.Supp. 933, 936-37 (D. V.I. 1986) (policy of rule disallowing evidence to show character of assault victim); Dept. of Professional Regulation v. Wise 575 So.2d 713 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991) (holding that evidence of sexual relations with a person other than an accused is not relevant). One commentator has noted that once the identity of persons and similarity of circumstances are removed, "probative value all but disappears." Ordover, Admissibility of Patterns of Similar Sexual Conduct: The Unlamented Death of Character for Chastity, 63 Cornell L. Rev. 96, 106 (1977). The discovery at issue is not limited to sexual contact involving similar circumstances, and is therefore lacking in probative value. Defendant fails in his Motion to demonstrate otherwise. + +Defendant's argument that Rule 412 is merely an evidentiary rule that should be disregarded in discovery disputes has been routinely rejected in federal courts. See, e.g., Barta v. City and County of Honolulu 169 F.R.D. 132 (D. Haw. 1996) (granting protective order pursuant to Rule 412 to prevent a sexual battery and harassment victim from having to disclose off-duty sexual contacts with persons other than defendant in discovery); Herron v. Eastern Industries. Inc. 2007 WL 2781211 (N.D. Ha. Sept. 19, 2007); Gibbons v. Food Lion, Inc. 1999 WL 33226474 (M.D. Fla. Feb. 19, 1999). P.J. Herchenroeder v. John Univ. Applied Physical Lab, 171 F.RD. 179 (D. Md. 1997) (looking at both Rule 26 and Rule 412 in resolving discovery motion); v. Zabihi, 166 F.R.D. 500 (D. N.M. 19%) (explaining that "[ajlthough the present motion arises in the context of discovery under Rule 26, the Court must remain mindful of Rule 412 and its implications); Stalnaker v. Kmart Corp. 1996 WL 397563 (D. Kan. 1996) (noting that Rule 412 "is applicable and has significance in deciding certain discovery motions"). + +As the above-referenced cases make abundantly clear, childhood sexual abuse cases are not garden-variety litigation subject to traditional broad discovery concerning a victim's sexual history. Rule 412 is designed to protect victims of sexual misconduct from undue embarrassment and intrusion into their private affairs. See Fed R.Evid. 412. The committee notes explain that the Rule is also intended to prevent "sexual stereotyping that is associated with public disclosure of intimate sexual details and the infusion of sexual innuendo into the factfinding process." Rule 412, Advisory Committee Notes to 1994 Amendments. Common sense dictates that requiring a sexual abuse victim to disclose the intimate details and recordings sought by Epstein during the discovery process — which then would presumably lead to additional discovery of the victim's other sexual partners — would be at least as embarrassing and intrusive during the discovery process as it would be if the victim were questioned about these facts at trial, if not more. Thus, in order to carry out its purpose, Rule 412 "must inform the discovery process" and the Court "must impose certain restriction on discovery to preclude inquiry into areas which will clearly fail to satisfy the balancing test" set forth in Rule 412. See Barta v. City and County of Honolulu, 169 F.R.D. at 135. + +In Barta the Court confronted this issue in the context of a discovery motion in a civil case. 169 F.R.D. at 133. A former employee brought a sexual harassment and battery claim against her former employer and individual employees. Id. The defendants asked questions at deposition which delved into the plaintiff's sexual conduct outside the workplace. Id. at 134. The Court did not allow these questions and wait until trial to determine admissibility. Id. at 135. Instead, the Court sustained the plaintiff's objections. Id. The Court based its decision on Fed.R.Evid. 412. Id. Although noting that Rule 412 controls the admissibility of evidence, the Court explained that it must also apply Rule 412 to "impose certain restrictions on discovery to preclude inquiry into areas which will clearly satisfy the balancing test of 4 I 2(b)(2)..." Id. Thus, the Court concluded that the defendants should not be permitted to inquire into the plaintiffs conduct while she was off-duty, outside the workplace, and which did not involve the same defendants. The same rationale should apply here. The Defendant should not be permitted to seek intimate details and recordings of Plaintiff's sexual conduct throughout her life. + +Defendant attached three Florida state court orders to its Motion, two of which are trial court decisions. These cases do not serve as precedent for this Court, and in any event, they are not persuasive. Unlike state courts, federal courts must focus on the interplay between Fed.R.Evid. 412 and Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b), and in this regard must be concerned with embarrassment to the victim and protection of her privacy. Indeed, it does not appear that an analogous argument was made in any of the state court cases relied upon by Defendant. Furthermore, the discovery in Balas v. Russo, 703 So.2d 1076 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997) was far narrower than that which is at issue here. It was limited to asking plaintiffs for their employment history (which admittedly included prostitution), employment records, electronic recording of the conduct which was the subject of the complaint, and a description of her damages. 703 So.2d + +1077-78. At no time were the plaintiffs in Balas asked to disclose their entire sexually history beginning at age 10. Id. Thus, the three state court cases cited in the Motion are not helpful to the Defendant, and should not deflect attention from the burden placed on the party in federal court seeking discovery of a victim's other sexual contacts. + +With regard to Request #1 for "all tax returns and supporting documentation", the Defendant has not (and cannot) show how these documents are conceivably relevant. Plaintiffs are not making a claim for lost income or wages. See Exhibit "A". Moreover, Plaintiffs have disclosed their entire employment history and agreed to execute authorizations allowing Defendant to obtain their employment personnel records. Given the nature of the claim involving sexual assault, it is inconceivable how the tax returns, W-2s, and 1099s, and all other "supporting documentation" could be relevant. Cases in which the plaintiff has been ordered to produce tax returns is limited to situations involving transactions or in which the plaintiff is seeking to recover lost wages, lost profits, royalty payments, or similar relief. See Bellose v. Universal Tile Restoration 2008 WL 2620735 (S.D. Fla. June 30, 2008)• United States v. Certain Real Property ,444 F.Supp.2d 1258 (S.D. Ha. 2006). The instant case involving sexual assault is readily distinguishable and the mere filing of a lawsuit does not place all of one's income and earnings at issue. Further, if it is Plaintiff's employment history or earnings that Defendants are seeking to discover, a request for all "supporting documentation" pertaining to their tax returns is overbroad and far more burdensome than necessary to acquire this information. + +Finally, Defendant's request for attorney's fees and costs is completely unwarranted. The present motion and response involve good-faith, timely and well-founded objections by Plaintiffs to over-reaching and harassing discovery efforts. Accordingly, Defendant's request for award of reasonable expenses should be denied. + +# Conclusion + +Based on the foregoing, Plaintiffs respectfully request that Defendant's Motion to Compel Response to First Request to Produce, Overrule Objections, and for an Award of Reasonable Expenses be denied in their entirety. + +Dated: May 6, 2009 Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Adam D.

OF DISCOVERY. OR ALTERNATIVELY, MOTION TO DISMISS SUA SPONTE, WITH INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM OF LAW' + +Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN ("Epstein" or "Defendant"), by and through his undersigned attorneys, hereby requests that this Court enter an order identifying in the style of this case the complete legal name of the Plaintiff, JANE DOE #6 ("JANE DOE"), to substitute her complete legal name in this case in place of "JANE DOE" and, equally important, allowing Defendant to identify her in various subpoenas that Epstein must serve so Epstein can defend this case or, alternatively, Motion to Dismiss Entire Action Sua Sponte. In support, Mr. Epstein states as follows: + +2Several of the discovery responses attached to this Motion and to the companion "Motions to Identify" filed in other related matters are markedly different. Therefore, each requires the court's attention on an individual basis. + +## I. Motion And Incorporated Memorandum Of Law + +## a. Background + +1. On September 11, 2008, Plaintiff filed this action against Epstein. + +2. On February 27, 2009, Plaintiff filed her Amended Complaint (DE 18) against Epstein, which alleges three causes of action against him: Count I — Sexual Assault and Battery; Count II — Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress; and Count III — Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422. + +3. The Amended Complaint appears to raise both Federal and Florida State substantive issues (DE 18). + +4. Plaintiff alleges, among other things, that she is entitled to money damages pursuant to 18 U.S.C.A. §2422 and 2255 (in the wherefore clause) and by virtue her claims that Epstein sexually battered her and caused her emotional distress. Plaintiff alleges separate counts against Mr. Epstein, on which he must conduct discovery to defend this case. + +5. In particular, JANE DOE claims, in Count I for sexual battery, that she has and will suffer ". . .severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages." ¶20, Am. Comp. DE 18. In Count II for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, plaintiff claims entitlement to recover for the impairment to her "mental and emotional health," ¶24, Am. Comp., DE 18, and ". . .severe emotional distress. . ." and ". . .severe mental anguish and pain. . . ." ¶¶25, 26, Am. Comp., DE 18. In Count III for Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422, plaintiff claims entitlement to recover for ". . . personal injury, including mental, psychological and emotional damages" ¶32, Am. Comp., DE 18. Plaintiff also claims entitlement to "punitive damages" and "actual and compensatory damages." DE 18. See also Exhibit "A", Interrogatory Response Number 9. + +6. Epstein has a constitutional due process right to defend himself and to seek the production of information that will assist in his defense of the allegations in the Amended Complaint. In this case, Plaintiffs counsel objected to Epstein serving subpoenas on Plaintiffs treating physicians and other third parties. Thus, this motion seeks to identify JANE DOE in the style of this case, to identify JANE DOE in various third-party subpoenas for discovery purposes and, alternatively, to dismiss this entire action sua sponte. The undersigned's experience in "Jane Doe" lawsuits is that once a Plaintiff is identified, other individuals come forward in the discovery phase with information which often directly contradicts allegations as to the events and damages. For instance, witnesses may testify that Plaintiff was paid by others for similar sexual acts she claims Mr. Epstein forced upon her or that she willingly participated in certain act(s) that would negate or lessen her damages. This goes directly to Plaintiffs damage claim. + +7. Likewise, subpoenas must be issued to third-party treaters and current and former employers, and those subpoenas will seek to obtain records related directly to Plaintiffs claims and her damages (i.e., her claim for severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages" and loss of self-esteem as referenced above). Cherenfant v. + +Nationwide Credit, Inc., 2004 WL 5315889 (S.D. Fla. 2004)(order allowing discovery of medical records consistent with Plaintiff's allegations in complaint). This too goes directly to Plaintiffs damage claims. Medical providers, employers, co-employees, etc...have direct and relevant personal knowledge and observations regarding damages, i.e., emotional state, activities, self-esteem, etc.... + +8. Fed.R.Civ.Pro. 26 allows for broad discovery. Epstein is not required to rely solely on Plaintiffs discovery responses in defending this case, nor is Epstein required by any statute or law to rely only upon what Plaintiff produces in discovery or may obtain from her own medical treaters through her counsel, and to then provide to Epstein only after Plaintiff has reviewed same. In certain related state court actions involving Epstein, the undersigned offered to serve certain subpoenas on the medical treaters and other third-parties with full name, date of birth and Plaintiffs social security number (last four digits), but agreed that the subpoenas filed with the clerk would be redacted. Several attorneys agreed to this procedure in those cases. In Federal Court, subpoenas are not filed with the clerk. Thus, in this matter, the undersigned offered to serve the third-party subpoenas with plaintiffs full name, date of birth and social security number (last four digits) and would agree to redact any identifying information on any documents filed with this court if that ultimately became necessary. As discussed below, Plaintiffs counsel did not agree. Further, Plaintiffs counsel claims a HIPPA complaint protective order is necessary. Such is not the case when a Plaintiff places her mental, emotional, psychological and + +physical condition at issue. + +9. Moreover, when an order from the court is attached to the Subpoena, treaters and other third parties produce the records and show up to the depositions with the records requested because the deponent knows what to bring by virtue of knowing the identity of the Plaintiff. + +10. Epstein's counsel intends to serve and depose witnesses duces tecum. If Epstein is not permitted to identify JANE DOE, how will any deponent know who the parties are and what to bring to the deposition pursuant to the duces tecum? Further, how will Epstein be able to defend the claims. Just like the Plaintiff, Epstein is entitled to due process. + +11. While it is within the sound discretion of this court to allow a party to proceed anonymously, Plaintiff should not attempt to utilize that discretion as a shield from legitimate and necessary discovery. Epstein has a fundamental due process right to conduct discovery. + +# b. Motion To Identify JANE DOE In Style Of This Case + +12. As discussed below, Epstein has fundamental due process right to defend himself in this civil litigation. While JANE DOE travels under a pseudonym, various newspaper articles identifying Epstein have been released discussing the alleged claims against him. Allowing JANE DOE to litigate this matter under a pseudonym is preventing Epstein from defending this suit including, but not limited to, preventing him from locating individuals that may have information about this lawsuit and information about JANE DOE that may discredit her allegations and/or lessen the monetary damages she seeks to recover. It is the undersigned's experience that once identified, witnesses begin to come forward. See supra. + +13. In Doe v. Lepley 185 F.R.D. 605 (D. Ct. NV 1999), a sexual harassment case, the court reasoned that there is no express or implied right to bring an action anonymously. Id. at 606. Moreover, Fed. R. Civ. P 10(a) requires that the complaint include the names of the parties. Id. When Plaintiffs are permitted to proceed anonymously, the court must employ a balancing test to decide if the plaintiff has a substantial privacy interest that outweighs the presumption of openness in judicial proceedings. Id., citing, Doe v. M, 951 F.2d 320, 323 (11th Cir. 1992)(requiring complaint to include the names of the parties serves more than administrative convenience, it protects the public's legitimate interests in knowing all the facts involved, including the identity of the parties — thus denying request to proceed anonymously). The factors include: + +- a. whether the plaintiff is challenging governmental activity; +- b. whether the party defending the suit would be prejudiced; +- c. whether the plaintiff is required to disclose information of utmost intimacy; +- d. whether the plaintiff is compelled to admit an intention to engage in illegal conduct, thereby risking criminal prosecution; +- e. whether the Plaintiff would risk suffering injury if identified; +- f. whether the interests of children are at stake; and +- g. whether there are less drastic means of protecting the legitimate interests of either party. + +Doe v. =, 951 F.2d at 323. + +Plaintiff does not fall under any of the factors. Moreover, even if she did meet one of the factors, "[t]he fact that [a] Doe [Plaintiff] may suffer some personal embarrassment, standing alone, does not require the granting of a request to proceed under a pseudonym." Id; see also Doe v. Rostker, 89 F.R.D. 159 (N.D. Calif. 1981). Any substantial privacy interests JANE DOE has must outweigh the customary and constitutionally embedded presumption of openness to judicial proceedings. Doe v. , 951 F.2d at 323• Doe v. Berqstron, 2009 WL 528623 (C.A.9(Or.))(denying request to proceed anonymously in civil action by Plaintiff where Plaintiffs arrest, prosecution and acquittal were matters of public record). + +14. In Sweetland v. State, 535 So.2d 646 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988), the court reasoned that the purpose of discovery is to eliminate the likelihood of surprise and to insure a fair opportunity to prepare for trial. Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.280(b)(1)• see also Surf Drugs. Inc., v. Vermette, 236 So.2d 108, 111 (Fla. 1970)(stating that the rules of discovery should be afforded broad and liberal treatment to effectuate their purpose), citing Hickman v. Taylor 329 U.S. 495, 501, 507 (1947). + +15. Next, the right to go to court to resolve disputes is a fundamental right. D.R. Lakes. Inc. v. Brandsmart U.S.A. of West Palm Beach 819 So.2d 971 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002). All litigants are afforded an equal opportunity. Lingle v. Dion, 776 So.2d 1073 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001). The Florida Constitution establishes the right commonly known as access to courts. Mitchell v. Moore, 786 So.2d 521 (Fla. 2001). Courts shall be open to any person for the redress of any injury and justice shall be administered without sale, denial or delay. Art. I, §21, Fla. Const.; 10A Fla. Jur. 2d, Constitutional Law, §360. + +16. If Jane Doe's name is not disclosed and identified, Mr. Epstein will not be afforded his fundamental right to fairly litigate this dispute and prepare for trial. Accordingly, Epstein requests that JANE DOE be identified by her legal name in the pleadings. + +# c. Motion To Identify JANE DOE In Third-Party Subpoenas + +17. While discovery in this matter is underway; Epstein is effectively being denied due process rights by Plaintiff's counsel from conducting broad, open and liberal discovery in that Plaintiff's counsel has objected to, among other things, Epstein identifying JANE DOE in various third-party subpoenas to her medical providers and other third parties. + +18. The undersigned must serve subpoenas on medical doctors to obtain medical information on JANE DOE's alleged psychological and physical damages as same goes to the heart of Epstein's defenses and Plaintiff's damages. Plaintiff is claiming emotionaUpsychological damages. See Exhibit "A", Interrogatory Response Number 9. Therefore, Epstein is entitled to know her psychological condition(s) before and after the alleged incident(s) she references in the Amended Complaint. In particular, JANE DOE alleges specific disorders as a result of Epstein's alleged conduct — ". . . [S]evere psychological and emotional injuries. . .anxiety, anger, distorted and disturbed development, restlessness, distrust, self destructive behaviors, suicidal behaviors, substance abuse, severe Xanax addiction. . .corruption of morals, antisocial behaviors. . .loss of normal adolescent ideals and loss on innocence.)." (Emphasis Added). + +Id. Epstein is also entitled to know, among other things, whether she had any physical complaints or whether there was ever any evidence of physical battery on JANE DOE's body from the acts she complains of in the Amended Complaint The need to serve third-party subpoenas on medical doctors is a basic discovery need related to the claims alleged by JANE DOE for which Plaintiffs counsel refuses to compromise. Balas v. Ruzzo 703 So.2d 1076 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997), rev. denied, 719 So.2d 286 (Fla. 1998)(discoverability of Plaintiffs history of sexual activity is relevant to damages); United States v. Bear Stops 997 F.2d 451 (8th Cir. 1993)(deals with "admissibility of other acts of sexual abuse by individuals other than the defendant to explain why a victim of abuse exhibited behavioral manifestations of a sexually abused child.") If Plaintiff saw a psychologist or other physician during or after the time periods she claims she was assaulted by Epstein but either did not discuss or did discuss the incidents (or lack thereof) would be directly relevant to her damage claims. Plaintiff seeks physical and emotional/mental personal injury type damages, and the Epstein must conduct his own discovery thereon. See supra. No valid discovery objections or exemptions exist preventing necessary and reasonable discovery. To hold otherwise prevents Mr. Epstein from preparing and defending this matter. + +19. In defending this lawsuit, Mr. Epstein should be permitted broad discovery, whether admissible at trial or not. Fed.R.Civ.Pro. 26 provides, in pertinent part, that "parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action." Plaintiffs counsel's refusal to identify JANE DOE in the third-party subpoenas referenced above is prejudicing Mr. Epstein by virtue of preventing discovery all together, which is in complete contradiction of the discovery rules and Epstein's substantive due process rights. + +20. In addition, subpoenas must also be served upon various local and state institutions in order to determine what crimes, if any, JANE DOE has committed (i.e., crimes that involve dishonesty and/or false statement). Obviously, this goes directly to the heart of JANE DOE's damages she claims ". . . [S]evere psychological and emotional injuries. . .anxiety, anger, distorted and disturbed development, restlessness, distrust, self destructive behaviors, suicidal behaviors, substance abuse, severe Xanax addiction. . .corruption of morals, antisocial behaviors. . .loss of normal adolescent ideals and loss on innocence.)" — caused by Epstein or other events in her life) for which a jury is entitled to hear about at trial, and certified records must be obtained from the clerk should JANE DOE answer certain questions regarding her crimes incorrectly. See Exhibit "A". + +21. Epstein is entitled to know whether Jane Doe committed and/or was charged with any crimes. If Jane Doe was charged with crimes, Epstein is entitled to obtain certified copies of those crimes Plaintiff may have committed for purposes of discovery and impeachment. Questions will be asked regarding those crimes (e.g., Have you been convicted of a crime of dishonesty or false statement? If so, how many times? Have you been convicted of a felony? If so, how many times?) To hold otherwise would not only prevent broad discovery but would ultimately result in reversible error at any trial. + +#### II. Conclusion + +22. Epstein requests the following relief: + +- a. That JANE DOE be identified by her legal name in the style of this case; +- b. That Epstein be granted leave to identify JANE DOE by her legal name in Third-Party Subpoenas (but not file them in Court or, if required, in a redacted form); and +- c. That, on an alternative basis, this court dismiss this action Sua Sponte until such time as JANE DOE identifies herself in the style of this matter. Doe v. Rostker, 89 F.R.D.at 163. + +WHEREFORE, Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein, respectfully requests that this Court enter said order granting the relief requested above, and for such other and further relief as this Court may deem just and proper. + +> By: ROBERT D.

Introduction + +In moving for stay, Defendant has the burden of demonstrating that, due to a parallel criminal proceeding, if he exercises his right against self incrimination he will certainly lose on summary judgment unless a stay is granted. Defendant has failed to satisfy this burden. There is no pending motion for summary judgment. There is also no criminal proceeding at this time arising from Epstein's acts against the Plaintiffs or other victims. Indeed, whether such a criminal proceeding is ever commenced is entirely within the Defendant's control, by complying with the terms of his Non-Prosecution Agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Jeffrey Epstein's Reply to Plaintiff's Response In Opposition To Defendant's Motion To Stay And/Or Continue Action For Time Certain With Incorporated Memorandum Of Law + +Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, (hereinafter "EPSTEIN") by and through his undersigned attorneys, hereby files his Reply to Plaintiffs Response In Opposition to Defendant's Motion to Stay and/or Continue Action, and states: + +# I. Introduction and Argument + +Plaintiffs Response in Opposition challenging the stay should not prevail when 5th Amendment principles are at issue and when there exists a real, substantial and not remote possibility that Epstein may face criminal prosecution by the United States Attorneys' Office ("USAO") if the USAO unilaterally determines that Epstein somehow violated that certain Non-Prosecution Agreement dated June 30, 2008 ("NPA") and/or if Epstein is forced to waive those e Amendment rights and participate in civil discovery in order to defend this civil action. + +Epstein should not be confronted with the substantial risk of loosing this civil action by virtue of asserting his 5th Amendment privileges. Despite Plaintiffs contention, Epstein's Motion does not concentrate solely on the fact that the pleadings are not at + +the summary judgment stage. The motion also concentrates on Epstein's risk of loosing this entire civil action as a result of Epstein invoking his 5th Amendment rights. Severino v. Klvtie's Developments, Inc., 2008WL 1782637, \*2 (D. Colo)(recognizing that a stay is appropriate under similar circumstances as in the instant case). see also infra. + +In fact, waiver of Epstein's 5th Amendment privileges should not be compelled to defend this civil action (and could be remedied by areasonable stay), especially when civil discovery may lead to the USAO unilaterally declaring aviolation of the NPA. + +The USAO has already unilaterally claimed that EPSTEIN violated the NPA by, among other things, "investigating the Plaintiffs (by and though his attorneys) whom brought civil suits against him for purposes of defending those civil actions" and "by contesting damages in this action and in the other civil actions." See Motion to Stay and Jack Goldberger Affidavit attached thereto as Exhibit "B". Thus, these are not vague assertions as Plaintiff claims. How can Epstein truly defend these matters and be afforded his due process rights when to do so might result in the USAO claiming abreach of the NPA? The fact is that he cannot. Notwithstanding the allegations against Epstein, this Court has an obligation to ensure his due process rights are upheld in both the civil and criminal contexts. + +Next, in her response, Plaintiff claims that a stay should not be entered because aparallel criminal proceeding against Epstein does not exist. Not only is Plaintiffs theory incorrect for reasons set out herein and in the Epstein's Motion to Stay, but her response ignores the significant fact that a stay may be issued in light of an ongoing investigation. It is clear from the NPA and Jack Goldberger's Affidavit (attached to the + +Motion to Stay) ". . .that the criminal matters against Epstein remain ongoing until the NPA expires by its terms in late 2010. . ., and the threat of criminal prosecution against Epstein by the USAO continues presently and through late 2010: See Jack Goldberger's Affidavit, ¶5 (attached to the Motion to Stay). In fact, the FBI refused to provide information regarding this case and other related cases filed against Epstein ". . .stating the materials are at this time exempt from disclosure because they are in an investigative file, i.e., the matter is still an ongoing criminal investigation." See Jack Goldberger's Affidavit, ¶7 (attached to the Motion to Stay) + +Additionally, Plaintiffs response downplays the fact that civil discovery may result in the USAO claiming abreach of the NPA. Epstein wishes to vigorously defend this case and others filed against him; however, he does not wish to risk waiver of his 5th Amendment privileges, at least before the NPA expires or any investigation is closed. + +Further, Plaintiff adopts the arguments set forth in Jane Doe's Response to the Motion to Stay filed in 08-CIV-80893, which asserts that the NPA is not attached to Epstein's Motion to Stay. The Court has a copy of the NPA. While it may be sealed, this Court may review same, in camera. As such, Plaintiffs Best Evidence argument (as adopted in the instant response) is entirely misplaced and should be disregarded. + +## a. Justice Requires The Entry of A Stay + +As set out in the Motion to Stay, once the NPA expires, EPSTEIN intends to testify to all relevant and non-objectionable inquiries made to him in discovery be it a deposition, in interrogatories or in production requests. However, the current circumstances are such that by testifying or responding to discovery, EPSTEIN will be + +required to waive his constitutional privileges, thereby subjecting himself to scrutiny by the USAO as a result of matters alleged in this civil action (and others before this Court and in the State of Florida 15th Judicial Circuit Court, Palm Beach County). + +When an ongoing criminal investigation exists, courts have granted motions to stay civil proceedings. In St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company v. U.S., 24CI.Ct 513(1991), the court held that staying acivil action for 6-9 months was reasonable in light of a pending criminal investigation so long as the movant met certain elements (see infra) and the stay was not immoderate or unreasonable. Taking into consideration the Motion to Stay and this Reply as well as facts alleged by Plaintiff in her operative pleading against Epstein, it is clear that Epstein has met the elements of St. Paul Fire necessary for this Court to enter a stay: + +- 1. Epstein has made a clear showing, by direct or indirect proof, that the issues in the civil action are "related" as well as "substantially similar" to the issues in the criminal investigation. +- 2. Epstein has made a clear showing of hardship or inequity if required to go forward with this civil case while the NPA and/or the ongoing investigation exist. (see supra and see also Motion to Stay and attached affidavit of Jack Goldberger, Esq. discussing Epstein's 5th Amendment Rights and how those rights affect this civil litigation — see supra); and +- 3. Epstein, in light of the stays granted by other courts, has shown that a stay in the instant matter until late 2010 (the date the NPA expires) and the likely date any ongoing investigation will be closed is not immoderate or unreasonable. + +St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company v. U.S., 24CI.Ct at 515-16; see also Wilson v. National Association of Letter Carriers, 2006WL 3791313, \*1 (E.D. La. 2006)(granting motion to stay civil proceeding for 2 years and 7 months pending + +criminal investigation)• Ostrow v. U.S., 1986 WL 6855, \*1 (M.D. Fla.)(recognizing a defendant's constitutional rights and allowing for a stay of the civil case until the criminal aspects/investigation of Defendant's companion case are closed). + +Here, Epstein is not required to "contemplate an in haec verba iron-clad comparison of separate issues by direct proof." St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company v. U.S., 24 CI.Ct at 516. Instead, a reading of the complaint, the NPA (in camera), the pleadings in support of and against Epstein's Motion to Stay along with other pleadings in the clerk's file, makes it clear that the facts in the instant matter and those in the ongoing investigation are "related" and/or "substantially similar." Id. As such, permitting this civil action to go forward would create a hardship on Epstein in that he will be forced to invoke his 5th Amendment Privilege and risk loosing this case by virtue of not being able to present evidence, or waive that right and risk a potential criminal prosecution. Eastwood v. U.S., 2008 WL 5412857, \*1 (E.D. Tenn.))("When a party to a civil action is subject to criminal proceedings and/or investigations that relate to such civil action, courts will often stay the civil proceeding so as to prevent the use of civil discovery and evidentiary procedures to obtain evidence for use in the criminal matter). Id. Courts will also stay a civil case to preserve 5th Amendment rights. Id. Further, a comparison of Fed.R.Civ. Pro. 26 may expand the rights of criminal discovery beyond the limits of Fed.R.Crim.Pro. 16(b). Epstein satisfies the requirements to stay this action as set forth in St. Paul Fire and in Eastwood, including the similarity of issues underlying the civil litigation and ongoing criminal investigation. As such, a stay should + +be entered in the instant matter. See also U.S. v. \$75,020.00 In United States Funds. et al., 2009 WL 1010359 (M.D. G.a. 2009). + +#### III. Conclusion and Request for Relief + +Based upon the foregoing, Epstein is entitled to a full stay of this proceeding (and other related matters) until such time as the NPA expires and until the ongoing investigation by the USAO is closed (i.e., until late 2010). Alternatively, in an effort to protect Epstein's 5th Amendment and his due process rights in connection with defending these civil matters, this court should enter a stay of any discovery directed to Epstein and strike this case from the trial docket until the NPA and the ongoing investigation are both concluded and/or expired. In this manner, Plaintiffs investigation and discovery as to third parties will continue and will not be delayed. Epstein is invoking his 5th Amendment rights in the first place, which means that objections to discovery and deposition questions are being asserted so as not to waive those 5th Amendment rights. Once the NPA and the ongoing investigation terminate, this court could allow additional time for Plaintiff to complete Epstein's deposition and discovery directed to him, and then set this case on the Court's most available docket. Despite Plaintiff's contentions, Epstein's 5th Amendment rights and his due process rights associated therewith and in connection with defending this civil case should trump any civil claim for money damages when it comes to timing. Eastwood v. U.S., 2008WL 5412857, \*6 (reasoning that a stay is warranted when the risk to an individual's constitutional rights is magnified). + +WHEREFORE, Epstein requests the following relief set forth above, and for such other and further relief as this court deems just and proper. + +![]()**Certificate of Service** + +I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true copy of the foregoing was electronically filed with the Clerk of the Court using CM/ECF.

In support of his motion, EPSTEIN states: + +**I. Introduction** + +At the outset, EPSTEIN notes this Court's prior Order, dated December 16, 2008, (Document 28), in which this Court denied a motion for stay brought by Defendant's prior counsel. In that instance, Defendant's counsel requested a mandatory stay under 18 U.S.C.A. §3509(k) which the court denied. In denying the request for the stay, this Court stated that a discretionary stay was not appropriate at the time the order was entered but also stated, in part, that "Any such issues shall be resolved as they arise in the course of litigation." As discussed herein, "special circumstances" now exist which, in the "interests of justice," merit the entry of a stay of this civil action until the criminal matter in the 15th Judicial Circuit is "closed" in + +accordance with the United States Attorney's Office ("USAO") Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA") and until the NPA expires. + +Moreover, EPSTEIN was indicted by a grand jury in or around July 2006. See Exhibit "A". The Non-Prosecution Agreement is part of the record in connection with that indictment, which is signed by the State Attorney of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida ("SAO"). In fact, the NPA acknowledges the investigation performed by the SAO. Further, the USAO was present at the Plea hearing whereby the NPA was made part of the record. Thus, there is no question that a parallel criminal matter exists in that the SAO's case remains open and the NPA lives along side it, which places EPSTEIN under greatscrutiny by the USAO. The NPA actually places an affirmative duty upon EPSTEIN to undertake discussions with the SAO to ensure compliance with the NPA. That check and balance, therefore, remains in the hands of the SAO, which has a parallel criminal proceeding. Here, the threat of prosecution is real, substantial, and present should the USAO determine that EPSTEIN somehow violated the NPA. As discussed below, because the NPA fails to define what constitutes a breach, the USA() has apparently taken it upon itself to determine whether abreach has occurred and whether to seek criminal prosecution. In fact, the USAO has already attempted to claim violations of the NPA due to, among other things, EPSTEIN defending the civil actions against him. Clearly, it is NOT simply EPSTEIN's choice as to whether he violates the NPA — that discretion apparently lies with the USAO. For this reason alone, a stay is required until the NPA expires. + +The difference between this Motion and the prior motion to stay is solely due to the ripeness of the issues discussed herein. + +### H. THE NPA + +By its terms, the NPA took effect on June 30, 2008 and expires by those same terms in late 2010 so long as EPSTEIN complies with the terms and conditions — violations of which remain undefined. The NPA, which remains under seal, outlines various obligations on the part of EPSTEIN including, but not limited to, pleading guilty to the Indictment and Information before the 15'h Judicial Circuit, recommendations for his sentencing before the 15th Judicial Circuit, waiver of challenges to the Information filed by the SAO, waiver of right to appeal his conviction, agreement not be afforded benefits for gain time, and the agreement to not prosecute others listed thereon so long as EPSTEIN does not breach and fulfills the requirements of the NPA. + +What the NPA does not outline or define is what constitutes abreach or what act or omission constitutes abreach thereof. Therefore, the USAO apparently believes it has the discretion to make that unwritten and undefined determination, which places an unreasonable burden upon EPSTEIN in defending the civil claims in that he has no idea what the USAO will define as abreach in the event he does not assert his 5th Amendment Rights. As an example, the USAO has already claimed that EPSTEIN violated the NPA by: + +- 1. investigating the Plaintiffs (by and though his attorneys) whom brought civil suits against him for purposes of defending those civil actions; + - 2. contesting damages in this action and in the other civil actions; +- 3. making statements to the press about this Plaintiff or other Plaintiffs by and though his attorneys; and + +4. using the word "jail" instead of "imprisonment" in the plea agreement with SA's office. + +See Exhibit "B" Goldberger Affidavit - EPSTEIN's criminal counsel. + +These allegations are silly, unfounded and alleged violations which are not defined as violations under the NPA but arrived at by the USAO. Thus, EPSTEIN is left with "Morton's Fork" in his side - the undesirable choice of taking the 5h Amendment and having a judgment (summary or otherwise) entered against him in the civil action or the undesirable choice of subjecting himself to discovery in the civil action before the NPA expires and, thus, face the possibility of criminal prosecution by the USAO based upon some illusory breach deemed by the USAO by way of information obtained through civil discovery proceedings. This is inherently unfair, the danger is clear, and the playing field is not level in light of the NPA language or lack thereof + +As a result, the threat of criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN by the USAO continues presently and through late 2010. + +### III. Justice Requires The Entry of A Stay Because Defendant Is Being Forced To Choose Between Waiving His 51h Amendment Privilege Or Risk Losing This Civil Case And Forfeiting Other Constitutional Guarantees Of Due Process And Effective Assistance Of Counsel + +Once the NPA expires, EPSTEIN fully intends to testify to all relevant and nonobjectionable inquiries made to him in discovery be it a deposition, in interrogatories or in production requests. (Emphasis Added) However, the current circumstances are such that by testifying or responding to discovery, EPSTEIN will be required to waive his constitutional privileges, thereby subjecting himself to criminal prosecution and scrutiny by the USAO as a + +Page 5 + +result of matters alleged in this civil action (and others before this Court and in the State of Florida 15th Judicial Circuit Court, Palm Beach County). + +The special circumstances of this action are such that a stay or continuance for a time certain is NOT prejudicial and is required to be entered so that: + +(1) EPSTEIN is not required to waive his Fifth Amendment right against selfincrimination under the United States Constitution resulting in severe prejudice to EPSTEIN in pending criminal matters; and + +(2) EPSTEIN is not forced to choose between waiving his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination or losing the civil case. + +Here, in asserting his Fifth Amendment Privilege, the Plaintiff is afforded an opportunity rarely given - that is, to put on only her evidence without any counterevidence from Defendant resulting in ajudgment of liability against EPSTEIN. This is inherently unfair and precisely the special circumstances where "in the interests of justice" a stay is required. Ventura v. Brosky, 2006WL 3392207 (S.D. Fla. 2006), citing United States v. Lot 5, Fox Grove, 23F.3d 359 (11th Cir. 1994). In Ventura, astay was entered where a Defendant was confronted with issue of waiving his 5th Amendment Privilege or to loose a civil case by way of motion for summary judgment. Id. Here, EPSTEIN is not requesting a mandatory stay. EPSTEIN only asks that this court recognize that "special circumstances" exists in this matter and enter a stay in the "interests of justice" and only for a specified period of time (i.e., after the NPA expires). See a\_122 Securities and Exchange Commission, 755F.Supp. 1018, 1019 (S.D. Fla. 1990)(Defendant was in precarious position while being subject to criminal investigation and reasoning that compelling Defendant to speak by ordering an accounting of alleged illicit funds would directly + +Page 6 + +impinge his right against self-incrimination). The court found it appropriate to grant the request for stay. (Emphasis Added). + +Citing to U.S. v. Lot 5, Fox Grove supra, the Southern District Court, Florida, in Ventura v. Brosky 2006 WL 3392207 (S.D. Fla. 2006), stated — + +The Eleventh Circuit has also created a test for these circumstances, stating that where there exists a concurrent civil and criminal proceeding, a court must stay a civil proceeding pending resolution of a related criminal prosecution when "special circumstances" so require in the "interests of justice." + +(Bold emphasis added). au also United States v. Kordel, 397 U.S. I, 12 & n. 27, 90 S.Ct. 763, 769-70 & n.27 (1970). The Ventura Court went on to state that "situations where a defendant in both criminal and civil proceedings must choose whether to waive his privilege against selfincrimination or to lose the civil case in summary or default judgment proceedings have met this test's burden and warrant a stay." Id. The Ventura court granted the stay. Here, the 15'h Judicial Circuit action lives along with the NPA. + +In making a decision to enter such a stay, the court may consider the following factors: + +- (I) the interests of the Plaintiffs in proceeding expeditiously with litigation, or any aspect of it, and the potential prejudice of Plaintiff to the delay; +- (2) the burden which any particular aspect of the proceedings may impose on the defendant; +- (3) the convenience of the court in the management of its cases, and the efficient use of judicial resources; + - (4) the interests of persons not parties to the civil litigation; and + - (5) the interest of the public in the pending civil and criminal litigation. + +Page 7 + +See U.S. v. Pinnacle Ouest International, 2008 WL 4274498 (N.D. Fla. 2008). + +First, in applying the above factors, the Plaintiff in the instant matter will not be prejudiced simply by claiming a delay in time. Second, the burden is far greater on the EPSTEIN if he is forced to waive his 56 Amendment Privilege or remain silent and have a judgment entered against him or choose to testify and face criminal prosecution. Third, efficient use of judicial resources would be rendered upon a stay by way of preventing an appeal if such a stay is not entered. The Court has broad discretion to enter such a stay. Fourth, the interests of the individuals outlined in the NPA will be served because EPSTEIN's fulfillment of NPA alleged obligations is determinative upon whether the USAO prosecutes those individuals or whether the claims will be dropped upon the expiration of the NPA. Finally, the interest of the public in the pending civil and criminal cases will not be prejudiced as EPSTEIN is already serving his term whereby a plea was entered in the 15 Judicial Circuit action. + +# a. Application of the 5th Amendment + +Next, the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination "permits a person not to answer official questions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings." Edwin v. Price, 778 F.2d 668, 669 (11th Cir. 1985), citin Lefkowitz v. Turley, 414 U.S. 70, 77, 94 S.C. 316, 322 (1973). See also Ohio v. Reiner, 532 U.S. 17, 21, 121 S.Ct. 1252 (2001)(The Fifth Amendment privilege is also available to those who claim innocence. One of the Fifth Amendment's "basic functions ... is to protect innocent men ... 'who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances."); Malloy v. Hogan, 84 S.Ct. 1489, 1495 (1964)(the Fifth Amendment's Self-Incrimination Clause applies to the states through the Due Process + +Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment - "(ilt would be incongruous to have different standards determine the validity of a claim of privilege based on the same feared prosecution, depending on whether the claim was asserted in state or federal court."); Kastigar v. U.S., 406 U.S. 441, 444-45, 92 S.Ct. 1653 (1972XThe Fifth Amendment privilege "can be asserted in any proceeding, civil or criminal, administrative or judicial, investigatory or adjudicatory; and it protects against any disclosures which the witness reasonably believes could be used in a criminal prosecution or could lead to other evidence that might be so used. This Court has been zealous to safeguard the values which underlie the privilege." (Emphasis added)). + +The United States Supreme Court made it clear that the scope of the Fifth Amendment Privilege includes the circumstances as here "the act of producing documents in response to a subpoena (or production request) has a compelled testimonial aspect." United States v. Hubbell, 530 U.S. 27, 36, 120 S.Ct. 2037, 2043 (2000); see L2 Fisher v. United States, 425 U.S. 391 (1976); McCormick on Evidence, Title 6, Chap. 13. The Privilege Against Self-Incrimination, §138 (6th Ed.). The privilege against self-incrimination may be asserted during discovery when a litigant has "reasonable grounds to believe that the response would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against a litigant." A witness, including a civil defendant, is entitled to invoke the Fifth Amendment privilege whenever there is a realistic possibility that the answer to a question could be used in anyway to convict the witness of a crime or could aid in the development of other incriminating evidence that can be used at trial. Id; Pillsbury Company v. Conboy, 495 U.S. 248, 103 S.Ct. 608 (1983). + +Certainly, if the USAO decides to prosecute EPSTEIN for an alleged violation of the NPA, it would undoubtedly be able to use information obtained during discovery against him or + +Page 9 + +use that information to aid in the development of other evidence against him at a criminal trial. The USAO is already claiming violations of the NPA based upon EPSTEIN defending the civil actions and, at the same time, while EPSTEIN asserts the 5th Amendment. Imagine, because that is all we can do based on the lack of wording in the NPA, what violations the USAO will assert if EPSTEIN is forced to waive his 5th Amendment privilege to defend himself in this and the other civil actions. + +The Fifth Amendment provides, in relevant part, that "No person ... shall be compelled in any Criminal Case to be a witness against himself." Hoffman v. United States, 341 U.S. 479, 486, 71 S.Ct. 814 (1951), citing v. United States, 1944, 322 U.S. 487, 489, 64 S.Ct. 1082, 1083, 88 L.Ed. 1408." The Fifth Amendment's privilege against self-incrimination is "accorded liberal construction in favor of the right it was intended to secure." "The immediate and potential evils of compulsory self-disclosure transcend any difficulties that the exercise of the privilege may impose on society in the detection and prosecution of a crime." Id., at 490; and In re Financial Svcs. of Fla.. Inc., 259 B.R. 391, 399 (M.D. Fla. 2000). The privilege not only extends to answers that would in themselves support a conviction under a criminal statute but likewise embraces those which would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute the claimant for a crime. Id citing Blau v. United States 1950, 340 U.S. 159, 71 S.Ct. 223. The Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination "permits a person not to answer official questions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings." Edwin v. Price, 778 F.2d at 669, citing Lefkowitz v. Turley, 414 U.S. 70, 77, 94 S.C. 316, 322 (1973). As EPSTEIN is here, "the claimant must be 'confronted by substantial and `real,' and not merely + +trifling or imaginary, hazards of incrimination."' See generally United States v. Apfelbatun, 445 U.S. 115, 128, 100 S.Ct. 948, 956, 63 L.Ed.2d 250 (1980)). See also, United States v. Neff, 615 F.2d 1235, 1239 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 447 U.S. 925, 100 S.Ct. 3018, 65 L.Ed.2d 1117 (1980XInformation is protected by the privilege not only if it would support a criminal conviction, but even if "the responses would merely `provide a lead or clue' to evidence having a tendency to incriminate."). EPSTEIN falls under each of the above category of cases. + +The United States Supreme Court has made clear that the scope of the Fifth Amendment Privilege also encompasses the circumstance where "the act of producing documents in response to a subpoena (or production request) has a compelled testimonial aspect." United States v. Hubbell 530 U.S. 27, 36, 120 S.Ct. 2037, 2043 (2000)• see also Fisher v. United States 425 U.S. 391 (1976). In explaining the application of the privilege, the Supreme Court stated: + +We have held that "the act of production" itself may implicitly communicate "statements of fact." By "producing documents in compliance with a subpoena, the witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control, and were authentic." Moreover, as was true in this case, when the custodian of documents responds to a subpoena, he may be compelled to take the witness stand and answer questions designed to determine whether he has produced everything demanded by the subpoena. The answers to those questions, as well as the act of production itself, may certainly communicate information about the existence, custody, and authenticity of the documents. Whether the constitutional privilege protects the answers to such questions, or protects the act of production itself, is a question that is distinct from the question whether the unprotected contents of the documents themselves are incriminating. + +"The issue presented in those cases was whether the act of producing subpoenaed documents, not itself the making of a statement, might nonetheless have some protected testimonial aspects. The Court concluded that the act of production could constitute protected testimonial communication because it might entail implicit statements of fact: by producing documents in compliance with a subpoena, the witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control, and were authentic. United States v. Doe, 465 U.S., at 613, and n. 11, 104 S.Ct. 1237; Fisher, 425 U.S., at 409-410. 96 S.Ct. 1569; id., at 428, 432, 96 S.Ct. 1569 + +Page 11 + +(concurring opinions). See Braswell v. United States. 1487 U.S.,1 at 104. 108 S.Ct. 2284; f id..I at 122. 108 S.Ct. 2284 (dissenting opinion). Thus, the Court made clear that the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination applies to acts that imply assertions of fact."... An examination of the Court's application of these principles in other cases indicates the Court's recognition that, in order to be testimonial, an accused's communication must itself, explicitly or implicitly, relate a factual assertion or disclose information. Only then is a person compelled to be a 'witness' against himself." Doe v. United States. 487 U.S., at 209-210, 108 S.Ct. 2341 (footnote omitted). + +Finally, the phrase "in any criminal case" in the text of the Fifth Amendment might have been read to limit its coverage to compelled testimony that is used against the defendant in the trial itself. It has, however, long been settled that its protection encompasses compelled statements that lead to the discovery of incriminating evidence even though the statements themselves are not incriminating and are not introduced into evidence. Thus, a half century ago we held that a trial judge had erroneously rejected a defendant's claim of privilege on the ground that his answer to the pending question would not itself constitute evidence of the charged offense. As we explained: + +"The privilege afforded not only extends to answers that would in themselves support a conviction under a federal criminal statute but likewise embraces those which would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute the claimant for a federal crime." Hoffman v. United States. 341 U.S. 479, 486, 71 S.Ct. 814, 95 L.Ed. 1118 (1951). + +Compelled testimony that communicates information that may "lead to incriminating evidence" is privileged even if the information itself is not inculpatory. Doe v. United States. 487 U.S. 201. 208. n. 6, 108 S.Ct. 2341. 101 L.Ed.2d 184 (1988). It's the Fifth Amendment's protection against the prosecutor's use of incriminating information derived directly or indirectly from the compelled testimony of the respondent that is of primary relevance in this case. + +The privilege against self-incrimination may be asserted during discovery when a litigant has "reasonable grounds to believe that the response would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against a litigant." A witness, including a civil defendant, is entitled to invoke the Fifth Amendment privilege whenever there is a realistic possibility that the answer to a question could be used in anyway to convict the witness of a crime or could aid in + +the development of other incriminating evidence that can be used at trial. Id; Pillsbury Company v. Conboy, 495 U.S. 248, 103 S.Ct. 608 (1983). See also, Hubbell supra, as to what is encompassed by the phrase "in any criminal case" contained in the Fifth Amendment. + +As noted, the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination is broad. Hoffman; In re Financial Svcs., supra. To deny a witness the right to invoke the privilege, the judge must be perfectly clear, from a careful consideration of all the circumstances in the case, that the witness is mistaken, and that the answers cannot possibly have such tendency to incriminate. Id at 488, 399. Recognizing the breadth and magnitude of this constitutional privilege, the United States Supreme Court in discussing how a court is to analyze the application of the privilege stated — + +... It is for the court to say whether his silence is justified, Rogers v. United States, 1951, 340 U.S. 367, 71 S.Ct. 438, and to require him to answer if 'it clearly appears to the court that he is mistaken.' Temple v. Commonwealth 1880, 75 Va. 892, 899. However, if the witness, upon interposing his claim, were required to prove the hazard in the sense in which a claim is usually required to be established in court, he would be compelled to surrender the very protection which the privilege is designed to guarantee. To sustain the privilege, it need only be evident from the implications of the question, in the setting in which it is asked, that a responsive answer to the question or an explanation of why it cannot be answered might be dangerous because injurious disclosure could result. The trial judge in appraising the claim 'must be governed as much by his personal perception of the peculiarities of the case as by the facts actually in evidence.' + +Hoffman, supra at 486-487. + +Hoffman and its progeny establish that "in view of the liberal construction of the provision [protecting against self-incrimination], after a witness has asserted the privilege, he should be compelled to provide the requested information only if it "clearly appears" to the court + +Page 13 + +that the witness was mistaken in his invocation of the privilege." (Emphasis added). In re MI Financial Svcs.,supra at 399, .gr Hoffman, at 486. + +In the instant case, the privilege applies as Defendant EPSTEIN "has reasonable cause to apprehend danger from a direct answer." The risk of incrimination resulting from being subject to discovery or to testify in his own defense while the NPA exists is "substantial and real" and "not trifling or imaginary haphazards of communication." See generally, In re Financial Svcs., supra at 400. Based on the nature of Plaintiff's claims, along with the ongoing scrutiny of the USAO in the criminal matters, EPSTEIN has "reasonable grounds to believe that his responses to the discovery would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against him. Finally, in order to preserve the privilege, the privilege must be asserted or one risks the loss or waiver of this liberty ensuring protection. See generally, U.S. v.M, 846 F.2d 678, 690 (11th Cir. 1988)("First, it ignores the settled principle which requires a witness to assert his Fifth Amendment rights. A witness who testifies at any proceeding, instead of asserting his Fifth Amendment rights, loses the privilege. ... A civil deponent cannot choose to answer questions with the expectation of later asserting the Fifth Amendment."). + +Also applicable in upholding the assertion of the Fifth Amendment privilege is the guarantee of effective assistance of counsel by the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. See Yarborough v. Gentry 124 S.Ct. 1, 540 U.S. 1, 157 L.Ed.2d 1 (2003)(Sixth Amendment guarantees criminal defendants effective assistance of counsel.), on remand 381 F.3d 1219. The United States Constitutional guarantees are applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. Obviously, EPSTEIN's assertion of his constitutional privileges and protections is on the advice of counsel. Again, EPSTEIN continues to face criminal prosecution by the USAO + +until the expiration of the NPA; under the constitutional guarantee of effective assistance of counsel, he is entitled to follow the recommended advice of his criminal defense attorney. See Goldberger Affidavit attached hereto. + +EPSTEIN's invocation of his constitutional protections of the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments must be upheld for the reasons set forth herein; otherwise such constitutional protections would be rendered meaningless. Already and recently, Defendant EPSTEIN in his Response and Objections to discovery, attached hereto as Exhibit "C", has been required to assert, on advice of counsel, his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, along with his constitutional rights afforded under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. Thus, EPSTEIN's entitlement to a stay is ripe for determination. + +Based upon the foregoing, a stay is warranted in this action as the Defendant is being forced to choose between the assertion of his Fifth Amendment right or losing this case by judgment (summary or otherwise) or waiver of his 5th Amendment right and face potential criminal prosecution. + +By: ROBERT D.

GOLDBERGER, ESQUIRE + +STATE OF FLORIDA ) SS COUNTY OF PALM BEACH ) + +BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally appeared having personal knowledge and being duly sworn, deposes and says: + +1. I, Jack A. Goldberger, have personal knowledge of the matters set forth herein. I am an attorney licensed to practice in the State of Florida since 1978. I am a partner with the law firm of Atterbury Goldberger & Weiss, P.A., located at One Clearlake Centre, Suite 1400, 250 Australian Avenue South, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. + +2. My practice includes and specializes in the defense of criminal matters. I am board certified in criminal law. I have been and currently am the criminal defense attorney for JEFFREY EPSTEIN. + +3. I represented Mr. EPSTEIN in the negotiation of and entering into a Non-Prosecution Agreement with the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) for the Federal Southern District of Florida. The terms and conditions of the Non-Prosecution Agreement also entailed the entering of a Plea Agreement with the State Attorney's Office, Palm Beach County, State of Florida. (The Non-Prosecution Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as the "NPA"). + +4. By its terms, the NPA took effect on June 30, 2008. Also, pursuant to the terms of the NPA, any criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN is deferred as long as the terms and conditions of the NPA are fulfilled by EPSTEIN. + +EXHIBIT + +5. The criminal matters against EPSTEIN remain ongoing until the NPA expires by its terms in late 2010, and as long as the USAO determines EPSTEIN has complied with those terms and conditions. The threat of criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN by USAO in the Southern District of Florida continues presently and through late 2010. + +6. Pursuant to the terms of the NPA, the USAO possesses the right to declare that the agreement has been breached, give EPSTEIN's counsel notice, and attempt to move forward with a prosecution. As of the date of this Affidavit, the USAO has taken the position on a number of occasions that it might consider the following actions by EPSTEIN to be a breach of the NPA. + +- Investigation by EPSTEIN (by and through his attorneys) of this Plaintiff and the other Plaintiffs in other pending civil cases for purposes of defending the civil actions; +- EPSTEIN's contesting damages in this action and other civil actions. +- EPSTEIN or his legal representatives making statements to the press about this Plaintiff or the other Plaintiffs. +- Using the word "jail" instead of "imprisonment" in the plea agreement with the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office. + +7. EPSTEIN, through counsel, submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for documents relating to this and the other cases; the FBI denied the request stating the materials are at this time exempt from disclosure because they are in an investigative file, i.e. the matter is still an ongoing criminal investigation. + +8. The NPA expires in late 2010. + +FURTHER THE AFFIANT SAYETH NAUGHT + +![]()STATE OF FLORIDA +COUNTY OF PALM BEACH + +I hereby Certify that on this day, before me, an officer duly authorized to administer oaths and take acknowledgments, personally appeared Jack A.

Further Defendants objects to the production as overly broad and seeking information that is neither relevant to the subject matter of the pending action nor does it appear to be reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.

is before the Court upon the motions filed in several cases by Defendant + +Jeffrey Epstein to Stay and/or Continue the Action for Time Certain Based on Parallel Civil and Criminal Proceedings. See, e.g., docket entry 51 in C.M.A. v. Epstein and =, case no. 08- 80811 (attached). Epstein moves for a stay until the expiration of the Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA") with the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) because, he claims, the USAO has taken the position that he is violating the NPA by defending the civil actions filed against him. Therefore, he argues that he cannot defend the civil actions without subjecting himself to criminal prosecution. + +While the Court recognizes that the United States is not a party to these actions and is not obligated to comment on this matter, the position of the United States would greatly assist the Court in resolving the merits of these motions to continue/stay the case. Accordingly, the Court requests that the United States provide its position on the matter. The Court would appreciate the governments position within 15 days if possible. If the United States is unwilling to state its position, the Court would also appreciate being so advised. + +DONE AND ORDERED in at West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida, this 14th day of May, 2009 + +> KENNETH A.

PIKE, ESQUIRE + +STATE OF FLORIDA SS COUNTY OF PALM BEACH ) + +PERSONALLY APPEARED before the undersigned Notary Public, Michael J. Pike, Esq., who after being sworn states the following: + +1. My name is Michael Pike, and I am one of the attorneys assigned to this matter. Burman, Critton, Luttier and Coleman, LLP, Robert D. Critton, Jr., Esq., J. Michael Burman, Esq., and I represent Jeffrey Epstein. I have knowledge of the facts outlined in the Motion to Strike Cases from Current Trial Dockets and/or Motion to Continue Cases and/or Motion to Modify Trial and Scheduling Orders ("Motion to Strike"). I have fully read the Motion, and I personally drafted the Motions and Replies to various discovery responses identified by docket entry in the Motion to Strike. + +2. The information set forth in the Motion to Strike is true and accurate in that the undersigned law firm, on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein, has attempted in good faith to obtain discovery in preparation for trial and in accordance with this Court's Order Setting Trial Date and Discovery Deadlines, Referring Case to Mediation and Referring Discovery Motions to the United States Magistrate Judge. + +3. Unfortunately, due to the Plaintiff's delays, objections to relevant discovery and refusal to allow Jeffrey Epstein to identify Plaintiffs in other Third-Party Subpoenas, the undersigned has a good faith belief that it will be impossible to complete discovery pursuant to the Court's Scheduling Order. In fact, as outlined in the Motion to Strike, it is abundantly clear that Jeffrey Epstein has not been afforded any meaningful discovery and cannot properly prepare the cases for trial. It will also be impossible to satisfy the remaining schedules referenced in the Motion. + +4. In short, Plaintiffs have refused and/or failed to produce any + +meaningful discovery and/or answer any meaningful discovery responses. As a result, the undersigned has not had an opportunity to depose any individuals that may have information about the allegations made by Plaintiffs. + +5. Next, as stated in the Motion to Strike, Plaintiffs' counsel refuses to allow the undersigned law firm to identify Plaintiffs by their true legal names in the style of the case and/or identify the Plaintiffs in any third party subpoenas, which has effectively prevented the undersigned law firm from obtaining any meaningful discovery about the Plaintiffs and/or the damages they seek. As stated in the Motion to Strike, Brad has agreed to such a procedure relative to third party subpoenas. + +6. As a result, good cause has been shown to continue the actions or modify the schedules. Therefore, the cases should be struck from the current trial dockets, continued to the next available trial dockets or, alternatively, the discovery schedules and other related schedules outlined in the Court's Scheduling Orders should be modified as requested in the Motion. Without the granting of the Continuance and/or a Modified Scheduling Order, Mr. Epstein's due process rights will be violated in that he will not be able to prepare and properly defend the cases for trial. This will substantially prejudice Jeffrey Epstein. + +FURTHER THE AFFIANT SAYETH NAUGH + +STATE OF FLORIDA COUNTY OF PALM BEACH Mich YI J.

In support, EPSTEIN states: + +## I. Procedural Background and Argument' With Incorporated Memorandum of Lawl + +1. C.M.A. was filed on February 23, 2008. C.M.A. filed her First Amended Complaint on February 10, 2009. (C.M.A. DE 39-40). Epstein's Motion to Dismiss same was filed on March 12, 2009. (C.M.A. DE 47). The Motion to Dismiss remains outstanding. + +2. Jane Doe (80893) was filed on August 13, 2008. On April 17, 2009, Jane Doe filed her First Amended Complaint. + +3. The Jane Doe 2-7 cases were filed between February 6, 2008 and September 10, 2008. Jane Does 2-7 filed their Second Amended Complaints on February 2009. + +4. Pursuant to the court's Orders Setting Trial And Discovery Deadlines, Referring Case To Mediator And Referring Discovery Motions To U.S. Magistrate Judge (the + +In an effort not to repeat certain legal arguments set out in various Motions and Replies referenced below and identified herein by Docket Number, those motions and replies, with legal arguments, are specifically incorporated herein by reference. + +"Trial Orders"), these matters are currently set on this court's Trial Dockets commencing January 25, 2010, February 8, 2010 and February 22, 2010. + +5. Pursuant to the Trial Orders, discovery cutoff is August 2009 for C.M.A. and Jane Does 2-5, and October 2009 for Jane Doe and Jane Does 6-7. Substantive pretrial motions must be completed in August 2009 for C.M.A. and Jane Does 2-5, and October 2009for Jane Doe and Jane Does 6-7. Mediation must be completed on November 2009for Jane Does 2-5, and December 2009 for C.M.A., Jane Doe and Jane Does 6-7. Finally, Expert discovery must be completed on June 29, 2009 for C.M.A. + +6. As to C.M.A., Jane Doe and Jane Does 2-7, each has objected to relevant discovery. C.M.A. has even refused to produce certain information that she agreed to produce in discovery. The foregoing delay tactics has prevented Epstein from conducting meaningful discovery in order to defend these matters and prepare for trial. At this juncture, Plaintiffs wish for Epstein to try this case without any discovery whatsoever. See infra. + +7. For example, in adiligent effort to obtain discovery, Epstein filed substantive motions addressing C.M.A.'s objections to discovery, and those motions remain outstanding? See (C.M.A. - DE 54 — Motion to Compel Responses to First Request to Produce and First Set of Interrogatories and DE 70 — Epstein's Reply to Plaintiff's Opposition Motion thereto). Epstein's Motion to Compel (C.M.A. DE 54) and Reply + +The same discovery requests were served upon Jane Doe and Jane Does 2-7. Substantive Motions to Compel seeking production of similar information in those cases were filed and remain outstanding. See Jane Doe DE 27 & 28and Jane Doe 2-7 (specifically, Jane Doe 2 — DE 67-68, Jane Doe 3 — DE 59-60, Jane Doe 4 - DE 74-75, Jane Doe 5 — DE 69-70, Jane Doe 6 - DE 24-25. and Jane Doe 7 — DE 26-27). Those Motions are incorporated herein by reference. + +(C.M.A. DE 70) are incorporated herein by reference. The Motion and the Reply seek basic and elementary discovery. For instance, the Motion and the Reply seek: + +- a. individual and/or joint income tax returns and supporting documentation including W-2 and 1099 forms for 2002-2007 and, as well as all records or documentation relative to the Plaintiff's earnings for the current year; +- b. All bills/expenses from any medical doctor, chiropractor, psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health counselors (including any members of the healing arts and related , i.e. drugs, prescriptions, etc.) you claim you incurred as a result of the injuries which are or may be the subject matter of this lawsuit; +- c. All medical reports and/or records from doctors, physicians, (including psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health counselors), hospitals, drug or alcohol facilities or any other person or entity who has rendered treatment to or examined you for any reason after the incident(s) which is the subject matter of this lawsuit; +- d. the names, business addresses, telephone and cell phone numbers, dates of employment, immediate supervisor (name and address) and rates of pay regarding all employers, including selfemployment, for whom you have worked in the past 10 years; this includes listing all sources of income you have received. Answer this question by year, i.e. 1998 — 2009; and +- e. the names, addresses and phone numbers of all males, excluding Mr. Epstein, with whom you have had sexual activity since age 10 (by year) up through your current age. Describe the nature of sexual activity, the date(s) and whether you received money or other consideration from the person. + +(DE 54 & 70) + +8. C.M.A. objected to producing the tax information requested in 4(a) above, which will show where C.M.A. worked, and she also speciously objected to the companion interrogatory (4(d) above) wherein she refuses to identify where she worked for the requested time period. Epstein needs the requested information so his attorneys can + +conduct the appropriate discovery on C.M.A.'s supervisors and co-workers (and others that may be identified during those depositions) in connection with the allegations C.M.A. has made against Epstein in her 89-page Amended Complaint. By virtue of C.M.A. and the other Plaintiffs concealing the above information, Epstein has been prevented from conducting any meaningful discovery, including the taking of any depositions of C.M.A.'s supervisors, co-workers, acquaintances, friends and other third parties. + +9. As stated above, Jane Doe and Jane Does 2-7 made similar objections which are the subject of various Motions to Compel. Epstein needs this information to defend the Plaintiffs' allegations and to prepare for trial. + +10.Next, C.M.A. concedes in her Opposition Motion to Discovery (DE 62) that Epstein is entitled to the information set out in 4(b) & (c) above; however, C.M.A. refuses to produce the information and/or allow the undersigned to list C.M.A.'s full name, date of birth and last four digits of her social security number in any third-party subpoenas in order to obtain those records.3 While this case was filed by C.M.A. on February 23, 2008, Epstein has been prevented from deposing any of the individuals that treated Plaintiff at one time or another.4 This results directly from C.M.A.'s tactics to delay and prevent meaningful discovery in hopes that C.M.A. will be able to prevent Epstein from putting on any evidence in defense of his case. The remaining Plaintiffs + +3 Attorney, Brad , in case number 08-CIV-080893, agreed to such a procedure. Counsel for Jane Does 2-7, Stuart Mermelstein, refuses to agree to such a procedure and, therefore, continues to substantially delay discovery. Note, many of the Plaintiffs are witnesses in the related cases. Therefore, Plaintiffs' discovery delays negatively effect the progress and trial preparation of each case. + +This same argument applies to Jane does 2-7. + +have the same exact goal. Epstein cannot defend this matter with the element of unfair and prejudicial "surprise" is ever so present. Schearbrook Land and Livestock Company v. U.S. et. al, 124 F.R.D. 221 (M.D. Fla. 1988). + +11.ln an effort to move these cases forward and obtain meaningful discovery, Epstein filed his Motion to Compel and Motion to Compel and/or Identify CMA (and Jane Does 2-7) in the Style of this Case and Motion to Identify Them in Third-Party Subpoenas ("Motions to Identify"). The Motions to Identify are incorporated herein by reference and, for the court's edification, same remain outstanding. Should this Court grant the Motions to Identify, Epstein will be able to obtain discovery he does not currently have in his possession and will be able to take certain depositions of individuals that have yet to be identified.5 Based upon the court's consolidation order, the motion to identify equally applies to C.M.A. and the other Plaintiffs. + +12. Plaintiffs must be identified in other third-party subpoenas (unrelated to those discussed above concerning medical treatment) in order for Epstein to conduct meaningful discovery. Epstein's right to conduct discovery and confront the witnesses has, up through today's date, been unreasonably and unduly restricted as a result of Plaintiffs' delay tactics. + +13. Finally, the information sought in number 4(e) above has not been produced by C.M.A. or the remaining Plaintiffs, despite the case law favoring production. United + +5 In a state court matter filed against Epstein, E.W. v. Epstein, Case No.: 50.2008-CA-028058 XXXXMB AD, the undersigned learned through discovery that the Plaintiff in that case worked at Platinum Gold, Curves Cabaret, Platinum Showgirls, Cheetah, Diamond Dolls, Vegas Cabaret, Spearmint Rhino, T's Lounge, Pure Platinum, Solid Gold, and The Body Shop. Substantial discovery will take place in that matter of E.W.'s co-workers, supervisors and others that may have information regarding the claims she asserted against Epstein. Epstein should be afforded that same right in the instant matters. + +States v. Bear Stops, 997F.2d 451 (8th Cir. 1993); Balas v. Ruzzo 703So.2d 1076 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997), rev. denied, 719 So.2d 286 (Fla. 1998). The information sought in 4(e) is relevant and discoverable even if not admissible at trial. See Motion to Compel and Reply (C.M.A. DE 54 & 70). Once Plaintiffs are required to fully answer the interrogatories, the answers may yield (at alater deposition or through paper discovery): (a) the names of individuals that may have information about Plaintiffs that negate the allegations in their Complaints, (b) how certain acts alleged in their Complaints materially affected their relationships with others or how those acts did not have such an affect on those relationships, and (3) whether Plaintiffs suffered from disorders (e.g., C.M.A.'s claims of bi-polar disorder and manic depression) as a result of other sexual acts prior to the acts alleged in the Complaints. Here, evidence of Plaintiffs' sexual activity with others may show that those sexual activities (which could include assaults once delineated) produced the behaviors that, for instance, C.M.A. attributes to Epstein (e.g., bi-polar and manic depression disorders). Accordingly, answers to the above discovery requests go the heart of Plaintiffs' damages or lack thereof. + +14. Further, pursuant to this Courts Order (C.M.A. DE 68 and in the related matters), Epstein is permitted only to take the Plaintiffs' depositions one time, both as a witness in the other related matters and as aplaintiff in their particular matters. As a result, the discovery schedule coupled with Plaintiffs' delay tactics and the Order (DE 68) is forcing Epstein to take each of the Plaintiffs' depositions without the benefit of other discovery and depositions of individuals that may have knowledge of the claims asserted by Plaintiffs. As such, in the event Plaintiffs produce information after their depositions, + +this Court's order (DE 68) and the Federal Rules effectively prevent Epstein from taking Plaintiffs' depositions a second time. This is inherently unfair and prejudicial to Epstein. + +# a. Memorandum of Law + +15.Modifying a trial order and the deadlines/schedules thereunder is within the sound discretion of this court. Under the circumstances outlined above, failure to strike these cases from the current docket, continue the trials, and/or to modify the court's scheduling order will prejudice Epstein. Epstein has diligently attempted to comply with the Court's scheduling order but has effectively been prevented from doing so in light of the Plaintiffs' delay tactics during discovery. See supra; Fed.R.Civ.Pro. 16(b)(4); Altadis USA, Inc. v. NPR, Inc., 2004 WL 444533 (M.D. Fla.)(granting motion to extend discovery and continue trial). + +16. Epstein has shown good cause to obtain a continuance of the trial of this matter and, as well, has shown good cause in order for this court to modify the scheduling order. Fed.R.Civ.Pro. 16(b)(4)("A [scheduling order] may be modified only for good cause and with the judge's consent."). Epstein's counsel has complied with Local Rule 7.6 of the U.S. Southern District by executing and providing the attached Affidavit. Exhibit "A". Epstein cannot, despite his diligence, timely complete discovery by the times outlined in the current scheduling order as a result of the Plaintiffs' delay tactics. Thus, as outlined above, failure to strike these cases from the docket, continue this case to the next available docket and to extend the discovery schedule and remaining deadlines will prejudice Epstein. Epstein has simply not been given the opportunity to obtain and/or conduct any meaningful discovery, which violates Epstein's constitutional + +due process right to defend himself and to seek the production of information that will assist in his defense of the allegations in respective complaints. Plaintiffs cannot reasonably expect Epstein to try these matters with having only been afforded the opportunity to take the deposition of one Plaintiff and not conduct any meaningful discovery on others. + +WHEREFORE, Epstein, through his counsel, requests that this court enter and Order: + +- a. striking these cases from the current trial docket; +- b. continuing the trials of these matters and setting same on new trial dockets at least three months after the current trial dates; or, alternatively, +- c. modifying the current trial schedule to allow for an additional 3 months from the currently set date within which to complete discovery, an additional 2 months from the currently set date within which to complete all substantive pretrial motions, an additional month from the currently set date within which to mediate this matter; and an additional month to complete the remaining deadlines under each of the Court's Trial Orders; and +- d. for such other and further relief as this co deems just and proper. + +By: ROBERT ON, JR., ESQ.

Enlargement of Time to Respond to Defendant's Motion to Compel and/or Identify Jane Doe in the Style of this Case and Motion to Identify Jane Doe in Third Party Subpoenas for Purposes of Discovery, or Alternatively Motion to Dismiss Sua Sponte, and state as follows: + +- I. Defendant Epstein filed his Motion to Compel and/or Identify Jane Doe in the Style, a al., in the cases brought by Jane Does No. 2-7 ("Does 2-7") on May 5 and 6, 2009. Under S.D.Fla.L.R. 7.1(C), Does No. 2-7' response is due on May 22, 2009. + - 2. Plaintiffs request an additional twenty (20) days to respond to the Motion to + +Compel and/or Identify Jane Doe in the Style, et al. This request for enlargement of time of twenty (20) days is necessitated primarily by Plaintiffs desire to have the psychiatric expert who examined the Plaintiffs consider the issue of their public identification and, if appropriate, submit an expert declaration in response to the relief sought in the Defendant's Motion. The enlargement of time requested is sought to provide the expert with adequate time to perform this work. + +3. Additionally, Plaintiffs' counsel has conflicts with other cases and matters which necessitate additional time for a response, including, without limitation, a special set hearing and upcoming trial in John Doe 6 v. Diocese of Orlando, case no. 48-2005-010138-0, Ninth Judicial Circuit for Orange County, Florida; and an upcoming deadline to file Appellant's initial Brief in Jane Doe v. Florida International University Board of Trustees case no. 3D09-414, Florida Third District Court of Appeals. + +4. Plaintiffs' counsel has conferred with Defendant's counsel, Robert Critton and Michael Pike, regarding this request for extension of time. While Defendant's counsel represented that Defendant would consent to an extension of time of one (1) week, until May 29, 2009, Defendant opposes any further extension of time. The grounds stated by Defendant's counsel for opposing the extension of time requested concern the relief sought in Defendant's Motion to Strike Cases from the Current Trial Docket, filed on May 19, 2009. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs Jane Doe Nos. 2-7 respectfully request an enlargement of time until June 11, 2009 to file their response to Defendant's Motion to Compel and/or Identify Jane Doe in the Style, et at, and for such other and further relief this Court deems just and proper. + +Dated: May 21, 2009 Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Stuart S.

STAY IDE 991 + +Comes now the United States, by and through the undersigned Assistant United States Attorney, and files this response to the Court's Order requesting the position of the United States on Defendant Jeffrey Epstein's Motion to Stay Proceedings [DE 99]. For the reasons set forth below, it is the United States' position that a stay of the proceedings is not necessary and was not contemplated by the Non-Prosecution Agreement between the United States and Defendant Jeffrey Epstein. + +### ISSUE PRESENTED + +The United States is not a party to these lawsuits and, accordingly, is not fully aware of the scope of the proceedings, the range of arguments presented by counsel, and any correspondence or oral communications between the parties in these civil suits. Based on the information presented by the Court and a review of Defendant Jeffrey Epstein's Motion to Stay and/or Continue Action for Time Certain Based on Parallel Civil and Criminal Proceedings with Incorporated Memorandum of Law (Court File No. 08-CV-80811- MARRA/JOHNSON DE 51-1), and responses thereto filed by various plaintiffs in their suits, the undersigned understands that the Court has requested the position of the United States on the following issue: + +Are there "special circumstances" that require the imposition of a stay of the civil proceedings in the "interests of justice" until the "expiration" of the Non-Prosecution Agreement ["NPA"] between the United States and Epstein? + +By filing this response, the United States does not make itself a party to this litigation and takes no position with respect to the outcome of any of the civil suits; nor does the United States take any position regarding Defendant Epstein's performance of his obligations pursuant to the NPA. The United States also declines to comment on Defendant Epstein's representations regarding past allegations of violations of the NPA by Epstein. The United States files this response solely as amicus curiae at the Court's request and does not waive any procedural or statutory bars to suit. + +# I. STANDARD FOR IMPOSING A DISCRETIONARY STAY + +#### A. The Defendant Must Show that the Assertion of His Fifth Amendment Privilege Against Self-Incrimination Would Automatically Result in the Entry of Summary Judgment Against Him. + +"The decision whether or not to stay civil litigation in deference to parallel criminal proceedings is discretionary.... A movant must carry a heavy burden to succeed in such an endeavor." Microfinancial, Inc. v. Premier Holidays Internal'!, Inc., 385 F.3d 72, 77 (1st Cir. 2004) (citations omitted). When a defendant facing possible criminal liability invokes his Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination in connection with civil litigation, a court can stay discovery or the entire civil case. v. Jenne, 2007 WL 624286 \*1 (S.D. Fl. Feb. 23, 2007) (Cooke, J.). "However, `the Constitution does not require a stay of civil proceedings pending the outcome of related criminal proceedings. Forcing an individual to risk non-criminal disadvantage by remaining silent for fear of self incrimination in a parallel criminal proceeding does not rise to the level of an unconstitutional infringement?" Id. (quoting Shell Oil Co. v. Altina Assocs., Inc., 866 F. Supp. 536, 540 (M.D. Fl. 1994)). + +As this Court has previously explained: + +The law regarding stays of civil actions is well-settled in the Eleventh Circuit. In United States v. Lot 5, Fox Grove, Alachua County, Fla, 23 F.3d 359, 363- 65 (11th Cir. 1994) ("Lot 5"), the Court articulated the following principles of law with respect to a stay of a civil action pending resolution of a related criminal action: + +[Al blanket assertion of the privilege is an inadequate basis for the issuance of a stay. Rather, a court must stay a civil + +proceeding pending resolution of a related criminal prosecution only when "special circumstances" so require in the "interests of justice." The court may deny a stay so long as the privilege's invocation does not compel an adverse judgment against the claimant. + +[T]he standard set by the Eleventh Circuit as to when a stay should be granted to prevent unconstitutional infringement is more narrow. The law in the Eleventh Circuit requires consideration of whether, as a result of invoking the privilege, the defendant faces certain loss of the civil proceeding on summary judgment if the civil proceeding were to continue. Lot 5, 23 F.3d at 364; Pervis v. State Farm Fire & Casualty Co., 901 F.2d 944 (1 1 th Cir. 1990). Under this standard, Movants must show that invocation of the privilege in the instant matter will result in certain loss by automatic summary judgment. United States v. Two Parcels of Real Property, 92 F.3d 1123, 1129 (11th Cir. 1996); Pervis, 901 F.2d at 946-47. This must be an actual adverse judgment, and not "merely the loss of the defendant's most 'effective defense.' Securities & Exchange Comm. v. lncendy, 936 F. Supp. at 955 (S.D. H. 1996); Shell Oil Co., 866 F. Supp. at 540-41. + +Court-Appointed Receiver of Lancer Mgt. Group LLC v. Lauer, 2009 WL 800144 (S.D. Fl. Mar. 25, 2009) (Marra, J.). + +Thus, before reaching the relative benefit and prejudice to each of the parties caused by staying the cases, the Court must determine whether, if defendant Epstein were to invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination' and the Court were to allow an adverse inference to be drawn therefrom, an adverse judgment against Epstein would be automatically compelled. The United States respectfully submits that it would not. + +'It appears from a brief review of some of Epstein's discovery responses that Epstein has made a blanket assertion of the privilege. For example, Epstein has asserted his Fifth Amendment privilege in response to a plaintiff's request to produce the NPA and the United States' list of identified victims although these documents were provided to Epstein by the United States. + +From a review of the Complaints filed by the plaintiffs in these cases, it appears that some have filed claims based upon Title 18, United States Code, Section 2255, some have filed claims based upon common law torts, and some have filed a combination of the two. Under general principles of tort law, a plaintiff is required to prove: (1) that the defendant committed a bad act; (2) that the plaintiff suffered damages; and (3) that the damages were caused by the defendant's bad act. To succeed on a claim under 18 U.S.C. § 2255, a plaintiff must show: (I) that the plaintiff is a person who, while a minor, was a victim of an enumerated offense committed by the defendant; (2) that the person suffered personal injury as a result of that violation; and (3) the amount of damages she sustained. + +Epstein's assertion of his Fifth Amendment privilege could result in the drawing of a negative inference only as to the first element under both of these claims. Therefore, to succeed on summary judgment (or at trial), the plaintiffs would still have to prove that they suffered personal injury/damages as a result of the defendant's bad act. Cf. In re Financial Federated Title & Trust, Inc., 252 B.R. 834, 838 (S.D. Fl. Bank. Ct. 2000) (Stay not warranted in bankruptcy proceeding where criminal indictment was pending because negative inference related only to defendant's receipt of allegedly fraudulent transfers, but "Trustee must still carry the burden of proving all of the elements of his complaint for fraudulent transfers . includ[ing] fraudulent intent, insolvency, and financial condition at the time of the transfers to the Defendants."). + +While Epstein may believe that his arguments and proof as to the first element are his "most effective defense," that alone is insufficient to warrant the imposition of a stay of the litigation. There are two other items for the Court to consider in deciding this issue. First, pursuant to the terms of the NPA, as to those victims identified by the United States, Epstein has already made a concession that they are victims of an enumerated offense committed by Epstein. Thus, this inference is drawn not due to his invocation of the right against selfincrimination but due to his entry into a contractual agreement with the United States for which the identified victims are third-party beneficiaries.2 Second, in Lot 5, the Eleventh Circuit pointed out the wealth of evidence other than the defendant's testimony that could be used to defeat a liability claim. See Lot 5, 23 F.3d at 364 ("Thus, Claimant's assertion that only her own testimony could vindicate her is groundless; other participants to the illegal acts that gave rise to the forfeiture were available to testify at trial. Claimant's failure to indicate with precision why she did not use other parties' testimony to substantiate her defense was fatal."). For example, Epstein could mount a defense using effective cross-examination, telephone records, travel records, documents within the possession of the plaintiffs or third parties, and/or the testimony of third parties to rebut the plaintiffs' proof. + +'The United States notes that it is not aware of the identities of all of the plaintiffs in the civil suits. To the extent that any are not "identified victims" under the NPA, this contractual provision would not apply.

B. Additional Factors to Consider in Balancing the Prejudice to the Parties

If the Court is persuaded that the negative inference drawn from Epstein's assertion of his Fifth Amendment privilege would result in an automatic grant of summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, then the Court must engage in a balancing of equities in determining whether there are "special circumstances" warranting the imposition of a stay "'to prevent a party from suffering substantial and irreparable prejudice." Securites and Exchange Comm'n v. Incendy, 936 F. Supp. 952, 956 (S.D. FL 1996) (quoting S.E.C. v. First Financial Group of Texas, Inc., 659 F.2d 660, 668 (5th Cir. 1981) (add'/ citations omitted).

Examples of "special circumstances" provided by the Supreme Court in [United States v. Kordel] are: (1) if the Government brought the civil action solely to obtain evidence for its criminal prosecution, (2) if the Government failed to advise the defendant in the civil proceeding that it contemplates his criminal prosecution; (3) if the defendant is without counsel or reasonably fears prejudice from adverse pretrial publicity or other unfair injury; or (4) any other special circumstances indicating unconstitutionality or even impropriety.

Incendy at 956 (citing United States v. Kordel, 397 U.S. 1, 11 (1970)). See also Securities and Exchange Comm'n v. 261 Fed. Appx. 259, 263 (11th Cir. 2008) ("[N]o `special circumstances' existed in this case warranting a stay, as there is no record evidence suggesting the Government had brought the civil case solely to obtain evidence for the criminal prosecution or that the criminal case against [defendant] was unconstitutional or inappropriately instituted.").

No "special circumstances" exist here. First, unlike and Incendy, the United States Government is not a party to the civil litigation. Each suit is brought on behalf of an

individual plaintiff represented by private counsel. Some of those plaintiffs are adverse to the United States and have filed suit against the Government based upon its handling of the criminal case against Epstein. (See In re Jane Doe Litigation, Court File No. 08-80736-Civ-Marra.) There has been no allegation, and certainly no showing, that the civil litigation is a ruse to obtain discovery on behalf of the criminal investigation.

As some of the plaintiffs have mentioned, one purpose of the NPA was to place the identified victims in the same position where they would have been if Epstein had been convicted after trial of an offense enumerated in 18 U.S.C. § 2255. (See, e.g., Court File No. 08-CV-80119 DE 49-2.) If Epstein had proceeded to trial and been convicted, those victims would have been entitled to restitution and to file suit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255, and would have been entitled to the same sorts of discovery that they now seek. None of the plaintiffs has contacted the United States about passing on materials gathered through discovery to any criminal investigators or about seeking discovery that would be relevant only to the criminal proceedings, rather than to their individual cases. If Epstein has legitimate concerns that the civil discovery process is being abused in some way, he can ask the Court for a protective order limiting the scope of discovery or its distribution. Furthermore, if at some time in the future, Epstein were the subject of a criminal indictment and he alleged that the evidence to be used against him was gathered improperly, he could file a motion to suppress or to dismiss the indictment in that criminal action. See, e.g., United States, ex. rel. Westrick v. Second Chance, 2007 WL 1020808 \*4 (D.D.C. Mar. 31, 2007) (Defendant in civil False Claims Act suit moved to stay civil action pending criminal

investigation where no indictment had been returned. The district court denied the motion, noting that while "allowing civil discovery to proceed may afford the government [who was the real party in interest in the civil case] the opportunity to gain evidence that it may not be entitled to under the more restrictive criminal discovery rules, if and when discovery becomes necessary, protective orders and other remedial measures may be taken.") (citations omitted).

By entering into the NPA, with its explicit discussion of 18 U.S.C. § 2255, Epstein acknowledged that the United States was trying to protect the victims' rights to restitution and that civil claims would likely follow. Epstein did not bargain for a stay of those proceedings. Instead, both parties received benefits and gave consideration for the bargain that was struck — while Epstein is faced with answering discovery requests that he would not face during criminal proceedings, he also is entitled to the identification of and extensive discovery from the victims, which he would not have received in the criminal case. Based upon a review of the discovery requests he has promulgated thus far, it appears that Epstein is taking full advantage of this benefit and if a criminal case were ever filed, he would, no doubt, seek to use that information in his defense.'

'With respect to the other "special circumstances" mentioned in Incendy, the government obviously advised Epstein of the potential for criminal charges, and that knowledge led to the negotiation of the NPA. Epstein also has a number of attorneys listed on the Service List for the civil cases and has retained a similarly large number of attorneys to handle the criminal investigation and negotiation of the NPA. Epstein alleges a fear of adverse publicity, but as the plaintiffs have pointed out, during the course of the state and federal criminal investigations, Epstein's personal publicist distributed stories to the press impugning the credibility of the victims and other witnesses and averring that the victims' allegations of abuse were made solely to extract money from the defendant. In the context of some of the civil suits currently pending, Epstein has asked the Court

Unlike and Incendy, Epstein also has not been criminally indicted. In some districts, this alone is virtually dispositive. See, e.g.. Sterling Nat'l Bank v. A-I Hotels Internat'l, 175 F. Supp. 2d 573, 576-77 (S.D.N.Y. 2001) ("district courts in this Circuit `generally grant the extraordinary remedy of a stay only after the defendant seeking a stay has been indicted.'" (quoting Citibank, N.A. v. 1993 WL 481335 \*1 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 18, 1993) (add'/ citations omitted). As one court explained:

the consensus that a party seeking a stay bears a heavier burden when he has not yet been indicted derives logically from the balancing test set out by the courts of appeals that have considered the question. When a defendant has been indicted, his situation is particularly dangerous, and takes a certain priority, for the risk to his liberty, the importance of safeguarding his constitutional rights, and even the strain on his resources and attention that makes defending satellite civil litigation particularly difficult, all weigh in favor of his interest. Moreover, if the potential prejudice to the defendant is particularly high post-indictment, the prejudice to the plaintiff of staying proceedings is somewhat reduced, since the criminal litigation has reached a crisis that will lead to a reasonably speedy resolution. Furthermore, at that stage in the criminal proceeding, the contours of the indictment will provide the Court with a reasonable basis for determining the extent of the threat to the defendant's Fifth Amendment rights, and the likely extent and timing of the criminal litigation.

Pre-indictment, these factors must be balanced significantly differently. Though many of the same risks to the civil defendant are present, the dangers are at least somewhat more remote, and it is inherently unclear to the Court just how much the unindicted defendant really has to fear. Conversely, the delay imposed on the plaintiff is potentially indefinite. There is no telling how complicated the government's investigation may be, whether the allegations of the particular civil plaintiff are merely the tip of an iceberg that will result in a lengthy and open-ended investigation, what priority the government assigns to the investigation, whether it will result in charges that will have to

to unseal the victims' names so that he may make use similar press efforts to impugn their credibility.

be litigated, or how time-consuming the resulting criminal case will be. Under these circumstances, the likelihood that a civil party can make the necessary showing to obtain the "extraordinary" remedy of a stay is inevitably much reduced.

Sterling Nat'l Bank, 175 F. Supp. 2d at 577 (internal citations omitted).

The First Circuit has noted that the decision whether to grant a stay "is highly nuanced ... [and] involves competing interests. Balancing these interests is a situation-specific task, and an inquiring court must take a careful look at the idiosyncratic circumstances of the case before it." Microfinancial, supra, 385 F.3d at 78. Epstein's case is more idiosyncratic than most.

As the Court aptly noted in its Order denying Epstein's first motion to stay the civil proceedings, Epstein has not been indicted and there are no criminal proceedings pending against him.' The resurrection of criminal proceedings against Epstein lies entirely within Epstein's own hands, by performing or not performing under the terms of the NPA. This tips the balance of equities even further in favor of the plaintiffs. Epstein makes allegations that the U.S. Attorney's Office has unfettered discretion in determining breaches of the NPA, but this is no different than in any contractual setting. If one party believes that there has been a breach, it may seek the remedy set forth in the contract. If the other party believes that

'Epstein points to provisions requiring him to maintain certain evidence "inviolate" as proof that the grand jury investigation is still active. These provisions are meant only to insure that easily destroyed evidence identified through the investigation, such as computer equipment, that is still in Epstein's control, will still be available to investigators if Epstein does, in fact, breach the NPA. Epstein is well aware that litigation concerning those matters have been removed from the Court's docket, at the insistence of the United States, because it fully halted its investigation in accordance with the terms of the NPA.

there has been no breach, it has a remedy at law or equity. In this situation, Epstein would be entitled to seek dismissal of the indictment. See United States v. Beeks, 167 Fed. Appx 777 (1 1 th Cir. 2006); United States v. 138 Fed. Appx. 965 (9th Cir. 2005); United States v. , 393 F.3d 540 (5th Cir. 2004).

Epstein argues that because he is seeking a finite period of delay — until the time that he asserts that the NPA "expires" — and that, thereafter, he will promptly provide full and complete responses to all discovery, the harm to the plaintiffs is de minitnis. With all respect, this overlooks a number of obvious issues. First, if a stay is imposed until Epstein's proposed "expiration date," it affords Epstein one of two incentives: (a) to delay any intended breach until a time when he believes that the United States has no remedy and then to breach the agreement with impunity (Le, to use the NPA as a shield and a sword); or (b) to delay the civil litigation as long as possible (until shortly before the "expiration" of the NPA), and then, after criminal charges have been filed, to seek a mandatory stay of the civil cases until the criminal case is resolved. Thus, contrary to the assertions of Epstein, the delay is not limited but, instead, is "potentially indefinite," as Sterling Bank warns. If the U.S. Attorney's Office were to proceed criminally, the litigation would likely be very lengthy, and would result in an even greater delay to the plaintiffs.5

5The United States also notes that this finite termination to Epstein's exposure to potential criminal consequences is illusory. The NPA addresses only certain victims identified during the course of the government's investigation. To the extent that any of the plaintiffs who have already filed suit against Epstein do not fall within that group, the NPA does not address potential charges based upon crimes committed against them. The NPA also does not bind any other state or federal prosecutor from pursuing charges for criminal acts committed within their jurisdiction(s). The federal statute of limitations for offenses against children is ten years or the life of the child,

The factors to consider include: "(i) the interests of the civil plaintiff in proceeding expeditiously with the civil litigation, including the avoidance of any prejudice to the plaintiff should a delay transpire; (ii) the hardship to the defendant, including the burden placed upon him should the cases go forward in tandem; (iii) the convenience of both the civil and criminal courts; (iv) the interests of third parties; . (v) the public interest[;] (vi) the good faith of the litigants (or the absence of it) and (vii) the status of the cases." Microfinancial, 385 F.3d at 78 (citations omitted).

In considering those factors, the United States respectfully recommends to the Court that all of the factors weigh against a stay. In making its decision, the Court should consider that, unlike all of the cases cited herein, Epstein seeks to stay not one suit involving a single plaintiff, but more than a dozen suits filed by individual plaintiffs. Each of those plaintiffs, in turn, impliedly asserts that she is a "crime victim" with the "right to full and timely restitution" and the "right to proceedings free from unreasonable delay." 18 U.S.C. § 3771(a)(6) & (7). As noted above, one of the purposes of the NPA was to provide these rights to victims identified in the Government's investigation. Thus, this factor weighs more heavily for the plaintiffs than in the average civil dispute as it embodies both the plaintiffs' and the public's interests. The victims who were identified in the government investigation, by and large, were without financial assets and had significant counseling needs that could

whichever is longer. 18 U.S.C. § 3283. Thus, for Epstein (or any other person accused of sexually abusing children) to "wait out" any chance of criminal liability, the court would have to stay civil litigation until all of the plaintiffs have died.

be remedied through obtaining restitution from Epstein. In addition to those needs, they have legitimate concerns about memories fading, witnesses becoming unavailable, and dissipation of Epstein's assets while the matter is stayed. On the other hand, while the potential harm to the defendant normally weighs in the defendant's favor, in this case, Epstein has significant control over whether the criminal investigation remains in abeyance and whether criminal charges are ever filed.

CONCLUSION

In accordance with the Court's Order, the United States hereby submits that it is not aware of any "special circumstances" that warrant staying all of the civil cases pending the "expiration" of the NPA.

Exposure of Plaintiffs to the public disclosure of their identity and the resultant shame and humiliation accompanying their sexual exploitation is wholly unnecessary and premature, and may cause further damage. Plaintiffs respectfully assert that this Court should first decide the threshold issues of retroactivity and calculation of damages. Plaintiffs, and all other victims of Defendant who have filed an action against Defendant in federal court, will have to litigate these two following threshold issues being reviewed by the Court in the C.M.A. action against Defendant (Case No. 08-CV-80811-MARRA/ 1) whether the most recent version of the statute, which provides for a minimum recovery of \$150,000 (instead of the previous minimum of + +Plaintiffs respectfully file this Reply in the consolidated action, as the issue at hand pertains to discovery issues. + +\$50,000) applies to cases arising from incidents predating the 2006 amendment to the statute; and 2) whether the applicable minimum amount is recoverable per incident and/or per count, or per victim. Defendant has attempted to force settlements on any victims as possible without considering the possibility that the minimum amount recoverable under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 is \$150,000 per count and/or per incident. Much of this Court's caseload will be alleviated once the Court resolves these issues related to the minimum recovery; at that point, many of Defendant's victims will likely agree to settle for the minimum statutory damages to which they are entitled, thus obviating Defendant's specified need to destroy his victims' anonymity and expose them to further harm and humiliation. + +2. This Court has discretion to deny Defendant's Motion to Compel and/or Identify Plaintiffs in Third Party Subpoenas for Purposes of Discovery. See Doe v. Stegall, 653 F.2d 180, 184 (5th Cir. Aug. 10, 1981)2 ("Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(c) vests in the trial court discretion over litigants' requests for protection from 'annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense' in the discovery process.") (internal quotation omitted). As more fully discussed in Plaintiffs' Response to Defendant's Motion to Stay, which is adopted and incorporated herein, Defendant waived his right to contest liability in actions filed pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255. Thus, third party discovery is relevant only if Plaintiffs seek recovery of damages in excess of the statutory minimum. Additionally, if and when the parties are ready to proceed with discovery from non-party sources, the Court can put numerous measures in place to maximize Plaintiffs' anonymity. At the outset, Defendant can obtain records from + +2 In Bonner v. City of Prichard. 661 F.2d 1206, 1209 (11th Cir. 1981) (en banc). this circuit adopted as binding precedent all decisions of the former Fifth Circuit handed down before October 1, 1981. + +various non-party sources through Plaintiffs' counsel, who can demonstrate and certify that they have obtained the very records being sought, or through an independent special who could be given releases by Plaintiffs to obtain such records on behalf of Defendant to eliminate any question of authenticity or completeness. If Defendant nevertheless insists on conducting his own third-party discovery (needlessly increasing the cost of litigating these actions and causing unnecessary delay), subpoenas seeking documents from sources such as health care providers or employers should not disclose the type of action or identify Defendant. Because of the highly-publicized nature of Defendant's crimes as well as his designation as a sexual offender, the mere mention of Defendant's name in any subpoena or deposition notice will automatically expose the subject Plaintiff as one of Defendant's victims and may result in unnecessary public humiliation. Similarly, records custodian depositions do not require the disclosure of the nature of the action and/or the identity of the defendant in the action.3 + +3. Defendant's only purpose in opposing Plaintiffs' motions is harassment. Defendant's intentions are clear. He seeks to destroy these young women by outing them as being among his many victims, a pattern of behavior consistent with his status as a designated sex offender. Defendant openly admits to his desire to reveal the victims' names in newspapers so that individuals in their community can come forward to assault their credibility and tarnish their reputations (and, as a result, their dignity). See Defendant's Response in Opposition to Motion to Proceed Anonymously (DE# 5) at 16 ("[O]nce the Plaintiff is identified, other individuals come forward in the discovery phase with information which often directly contradicts allegations as to the events and + +3 Depending upon claims of Plaintiffs, certain documents will be relevant.

For instance, witnesses may testify that Plaintiff was paid by others for similar sexual acts she claims Mr. Epstein forced upon her or that she willingly participated in certain acts(s) that would negate or lessen her damages"). Each of Defendant's victims whom undersigned counsel represents continues to experience trauma and humiliation associated with sexual abuse. See Ellen Bass & Laura M, The Courage to Heal: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse 3 (4th ed. 2008) ("The long-term effects of child sexual abuse can be so pervasive that it's sometimes hard to pinpoint exactly how the abuse affected you. It can permeate everything: your sense of self, intimate relationships, sexuality, parenting, working, even your sanity.")4 The U.S. Supreme Court in Coker v. Georgia, 433 U.S. 584, 597 (1977), discussed the grave nature of the crimes at issue in the cases against Defendant, stating: + +[Rape] is highly reprehensible, both in a moral sense and in its almost total contempt for the personal integrity and autonomy of the female victim ... Short of homicide, it is the "ultimate violation of self." + +Defendant committed crimes constituting the "ultimate violation of self" against minors. Because of the disdainful nature of these types of crimes, courts, including the Eleventh Circuit, "have carved out a limited number of exceptions to the general requirement of disclosure, which permit plaintiffs to proceed anonymously." Roe v. Aware Woman Or. for Choice, Inc., 253 F.3d 678, 685 (11th Cir. 2001) (internal citation omitted). "The + +4 Although some Plaintiffs no longer live in the Palm Beach area, this should not undermine Plaintiffs' need for anonymity. As the Court in Doe No. 2 v. Kolko, 242 F.R.D. 193, 197 (E.D.N.Y. 2006) (internal citation omitted), points out, "flit is now possible to 'determine whether a given individual is a party to a lawsuit in federal court anywhere in the country by the simplest of computer searches, to access the docket sheet of any such case electronically, and ... that entire case files will be accessible over the Internet." Given the ease with which the public could access court files in these cases, it is reasonable that Plaintiffs' fears extend beyond ostracism in the Palm Beach community. The Palm Beach Post is available online all over the world. In addition, many of Plaintiffs' family members remain in the Palm Beach area and remain unaware of their daughter/granddaughter/niece's involvement in Defendant's sordid child sex exploitation enterprise. Furthermore. Plaintiffs are exposed to harassment through social networking sites such as Faccbook and MySpace as well as other forms of online harrassment. + +ultimate test for permitting a plaintiff to proceed anonymously is whether the plaintiff has a substantial privacy right which outweighs the customary and constitutionally-embedded presumption of openness in judicial proceedings." Id. (internal quotation and citation omitted). + +4. Cases regarding sexual assault are the paradigmatic examples of the type of highly sensitive and personal matter that warrant a grant of anonymity. See Doe No. 2 v. Kolko, 242 F.R.D. 193, 195-98 (E.D.N.Y. 2006) (adult plaintiff, who, many years later, alleged that he was sexually abused by rabbi at private Jewish school when he was a child, was entitled to proceed anonymously because he feared retaliation and ostracism from his community); Doe v. 202 F.R.D. 173, 176 (E.D. Pa. 2001) (sexual assault victim granted use of pseudonym); Doe v. M, 105 F. Supp. 2d 40, 44 (E.D.N.Y. 1999) (victim of assault, molestation, and sexual abuse granted anonymity because victim otherwise psychologically and emotionally unable to proceed with action); Roe v. Borup, 500 F. Supp. 127, 130 (ED. Wis. 1980) ("It is beyond argument that [a suit involving charges of sexual abuse of a child] is a highly sensitive issue"; thus, plaintiffs were entitled to use fictitious names in prosecuting the suit); see also Doe v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield United of Wis., 112 F.3d 869, 872 (7th Cir. 1997) ("[F]ictitious names are allowed when necessary to protect the privacy of children, rape victims, and other particularly vulnerable parties or witnesses."). The intensely personal nature of sexual exploitation creates an unusual case, and, in such a case, the general policy of full disclosure should give way to a policy of protecting privacy in a very private matter. This protection is especially necessary when the Court is dealing with young women who recently were sexually abused as minors. + +5. Defendant is using the threat of publicity to attempt to intimidate victims to cause them not to file suit or to settle their claims for the absolute minimum in order for them to avoid being held up to public ridicule and hostility. His intention to attack the victims is at the heart of the protection afforded by numerous rape shield statutes, of which Defendant and his counsel are surely aware. In 1994, Congress amended the Federal Rules of Evidence to promote the strong social policy of protecting a victim's privacy and encouraging victims of crime to come forward. "The reason for extending Rule 412 to civil cases is equally obvious. The need to protect alleged victims against invasions of privacy, potential embarrassment, and unwarranted sexual stereotyping, and the wish to encourage victims to come forward when they have been sexually molested do not disappear because the context has shifted from a criminal prosecution to a claim for damages or injunctive relief." Fed. R. Evid. 412 advisory committee's note. Rule 412 now provides that, in civil trials in federal court involving alleged sexual misconduct, evidence that the victim engaged in other sexual behavior or evidence offered to prove any alleged victim's sexual predisposition can be admitted only in unusual circumstances, none of which apply to Plaintiffs' cases. Fed. R. Evid. 412 (a), (b). "The rule aims to safeguard the alleged victim against the invasion of privacy, potential embarrassment and sexual stereotyping that is associated with public disclosure of intimate sexual details and the infusion of sexual innuendo into the factfinding process. By affording victims protection in most instances, the rule also encourages victims of sexual misconduct to institute and to participate in legal proceedings against alleged offenders." Fed. R. Evid. 412 advisory committee's note; see also Michigan v. Lucas, 500 U.S. 145, 149-50 (1991) (Rape shield statutes represent the valid legislative determination that victims of rape and + +attempted rape "deserve heightened protection against surprise, harassment, and unnecessary invasions of privacy."); United States v. Elbert, 561 F.3d 771, 776-77 (8th Cir. 2009) (evidence that child plaintiffs had previously engaged in prostitution was rightfully excluded in federal sex trafficking suit); Stephens v. M, 13 F.3d 998, 1010 (7th Cir. 1994) (Cummings, C.J., dissenting) ("The Indiana rape shield statute furthers laudable and pragmatic goals. It protects victims from needless exposure of their sexual past conduct; [and] ensures that the focus of rape trials remains the guilt or innocence of the accused rather than the sexual history of the complainant."); United States v. Kasto, 584 F.2d 268, 271-72 n.3 (8th Cir. 1978) ("[U]nchastity of a victim has no relevance whatsoever to [the victim's] credibility as a witness. Such a proposition would `necessarily imply the absurd (corollary) that the extramarital sexual history of a female witness would be admissible to impeach her credibility in any case in which she testified.") (internal citation omitted). Procedural protections such as the rape shield statutes reduce the embarrassment and anguish of trial, encouraging victims to report sexual offenses and offendors. "Without the protection provided by rape shield statutes, victims may find trial an ordeal not worth enduring." Stephens, 13 F.3d at 1010 (Cummings, C.J., dissenting) (quoting 124 Cong. Rec. HI1944 (1978) (statement of Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman)); see Fed. R. Evid. 412 advisory committee's note ("Too often in this country victims of rape are humiliated and harassed when they report and prosecute the rape. ... [R]ape trials become inquisitions into the victim's morality, not trials of the defendant's innocence or guilt ...."). Indeed, "many [victims] find the trial almost as degrading as the rape itself." Fed. R. Evid. 412 advisory committee's note. + +6. In addition, Congress enacted the Child Victims' and Child Witnesses' Rights Act (18 U.S.C. § 3509) in an effort to provide protection for victims who, while minors, were victims of physical abuse, sexual abuse, or sexual exploitation, or who have witnessed a crime committed upon another. One of the primary protections provided by the statute is the restriction on the disclosure of the name of, or other information concerning, the victim. See 18 U.S.C. § 3509(d)(3) (2008). Further, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3509(d)(2), "[a]l' papers to be filed in court that disclose the name of or any other information concerning a child shall be filed under seal without necessity of obtaining a court order." + +7. Indeed, numerous states, including Florida and New York, have enacted laws to protect the anonymity of sexual assault victims. See Fla. Stat. §§ 794.024, 794.026 (2008); N.Y. Civ. Rights Law § 50-b (McKinney 2009). In 1994, the Florida Legislature passed The Crime Victims Protection Act. The legislative stated purpose for passage of the Act was "to protect the identity of victims of sexual crimes." Ha. AGO 2003-56, 2003 WL 22971082 (Dec. 15, 2003) ("[T]he Legislature intended to make the identity of a victim of a sexual crime confidential in a court record or proceeding.") Under Florida Section 794.024 of the Florida Statutes, court records that identify the name and/or address of a victim of a sexual crime are presumed to be confidential and exempt from public access. Id. That statute further imposes criminal and civil liability for the disclosure or communication of information identifying the victim of a sexual crime. Ha. AGO 2003-56, 2003 WL 22971082 (citing Fla. Stat. §§ 794.024, 794.026 (2008)). Similarly, upon approving New York's rape shield law, then Governor Mario stated, "[S]exual assault victims have unfortunately had to endure a terrible + +invasion of their physical privacy. They have a right to expect that this violation will not be compounded by a further invasion of their privacy." 1991 N.Y. Sess. Laws page nos. 2211-12, quoted in Kolko, 242 F.R.D. at 196 (internal citations omitted). + +8. Finally, Defendant should be estopped from outing his victims. Plaintiffs attempted to utilize the process established by the Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA") with the reasonable expectation that a specific purpose of the NPA was to allow Defendant's victims to maintain anonymity, only to be subjected to deliberate and unreasonable delays and Defendant's failure to engage in meaningful, good faith settlement discussions. This left Plaintiffs no choice but to file suit. Under these circumstances, Defendant should be estopped from seeking to lift anonymity. + +9. Many of Defendant's victims are awaiting this Court's decision regarding whether they will be allowed to proceed anonymously before making the difficult decision as to whether to pursue their claims against Defendant. All of Defendant's victims and any future victims of sexual exploitation must know that they can protect what remains of their personal dignity when appealing to the Federal Courts for justice. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully move this Court to grant Plaintiffs' Motion to Proceed Anonymously and to deny Defendant's Motion to Compel and/or Identify Jane Doe No. 101 and Jane Doe No. 102 in Third-Party Subpoenas for Purposes of Discovery. + +Date: May 29, 2009 + +Respectfully submitted, + +PODHURST ORSECK, P.A.

IN THE ALTERNATIVE. TO UNSEAL THE NONPROSECUTION AGREEMENT + +Pursuant to Rule 5.4 of the Local Rules of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Plaintiffs Jane Doe No. 101 and Jane Doe No. 102 (together, the "Plaintiffs") by and through their undersigned attorneys, hereby file this Motion For Leave to File Plaintiffs Jane Doe No. 101 and Jane Doe No. 102's Response in Opposition to Defendant's Motion to Stay and/or Continue Action for Time Certain Based on Parallel Civil and Criminal Proceedings With Incorporated Memorandum of Law Under Seal, and, as grounds, state as follows: + +I. Undersigned counsel seek to file this Response in Opposition to Defendant Jeffrey Epstein's Motion to Stay under seal in order to abide by this Court's August 21, 2008 Order to Compel Production and Protective Order entered in Case No. 08-80736- CIV-MARRa (the "Protective Order"). The Protective Order prohibits Plaintiffs from disclosing the Non-Prosecution Agreement (the "NPA") or its terms to any third party. The sealed document should be maintained under seal for the duration of this Court's August 21, 2008 Protective Order. + +2. Undersigned counsel recognize that this Court has previously unsealed documents referring to the NPA. We seek to comply with the Protective Order for this new and independent filing in an abundance of caution, until directed otherwise by the Court. + +3. If this Court denies Plaintiffs' instant motion, Plaintiffs seek appropriate disclosure of the NPA pursuant to this Court's recent order in Case No. 08-80736-CIV-MARRa (DE #36) denying Plaintiffs Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2's motion to unseal the NPA. As stated in that Order, the NPA has not been filed with the Court. Plaintiffs Jane Doe No. 101 and Jane Doe No. 102 would then have "a specific tangible need to be relieved of the restrictions" of the Protective Order because consideration of the terms of the NPA is necessary for this Court to resolve Defendant's Motion to Stay. + +WHEREFORE, + +I. Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court to enter an Order granting Plaintiffs Jane Doe No. 101 and Jane Doe No. 102 the right to file under seal their Response in Opposition to Defendant's Motion to Stay and/or Continue Action for Time Certain Based on Parallel Civil and Criminal Proceedings With Incorporated Memorandum of Law. + +2. In the alternative, Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court to unseal the Non-Prosecution Agreement in order to allow Plaintiffs to concretely respond to Defendant's Motion to Stay. + +3. Finally, Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court to grant such other and further relief to which this Court finds the Plaintiff otherwise entitled. + +Date: May 29, 2009 + +Respectfully submitted, + +PODHURST ORSECK, P.A.

Plaintiffs have not, and will not, engage in any name-calling. For purposes of Plaintiffs Jane Doe No. 101 and Jane Doe No. 102's Motion for a No-Contact Order ("Motion"), it does not matter whether "many of the alleged victims . were or are admitted prostitutes, dancers at strip clubs . . . or have criminal records or warrants for their arrests . . .," Def.'s Resp. 4, or whether they were living in a monastery or planning on becoming nuns, lawyers, or judges. This matter is quite simple: The allegations are that, when these victims were minors, Defendant sexually exploited, abused, molested, and/or battered them. Regardless of the victims' character or Defendant's character, it is obvious that Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, a 55-year-old designated sexual offender and convicted felon, should have no contact with his victims. + +2. Defendant makes much ado that one victim allegedly telephoned Jack Goldberger's office to complain that Mr. Goldberger was holding up the matter. Def's Resp. 5. We have no reason to doubt the truth of that statement by defense counsel. Unsurprisingly, a 21-year-old homeless, ill, and desperate victim who had waited for settlement funds for seven weeks regretfully may have called Mr. Goldberger's office; but whether she did so has nothing to do with Plaintiffs' Motion. Likewise, if Defendant attempts to telephone undersigned counsel to complain or have any other contact with undersigned counsel, undersigned counsel will handle the matter as professionally as Jack Goldberger did—by refusing to speak to the opposing party. + +3. The troublesome part of Defendant's position is his counsel's statement in the attached correspondence that, pursuant to Rule 4-4.2 of the Rules of Professional Conduct, "parties to a matter may communicate directly with each other ...." In this case, Plaintiffs' counsel are concerned that Defendant or his agents may assert that alleged right, and we vehemently disagree that they should have that prerogative in these Plaintiffs' cases. No legal justification exists for Defendant or his agents to have any direct communications with victims whom Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, sexually exploited, abused, molested, and/or battered. + +In his Response, see Def.'s Resp. 4, and in his letter, counsel for Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, professes that "it is not Mr. Epstein's intention to have any direct contact with [our] clients." This statement poses two significant problems. First, it leaves the door open for Defendant's investigator(s) or other agent(s) to contact the victims. Such contact would not be direct and would not be inconsistent with his professed intention to refrain from direct contact with his victims. See, e.g., v. All State Home Mortgage, Inc., No. 08-3564, 2009 WL 1391527, at \*1 (6th Cir. May 15, 2009) (intimidation of plaintiffs-loan officers with contentious relationship with defendant-mortgage company + +through threatening phone calls by defendant's employees considered indirect contact in violation of no-contact order in civil suit claiming violation of Fair Labor Standards Act); Commonwealth v. = 661 N.E. 2d 666, 666-67 (Mass. App. Ct. 1996) (defendant's anonymous delivery of flowers to victim considered indirect contact in violation of nocontact order). Second, Defendant's counsel does not state that Defendant will not have any contact with his victims. He merely states Defendant's intentions. Unfortunately, the last five months is replete with other incidents in which Defendant, through his counsel, has stated his intentions and thereafter changed his mind. Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, feels free—and actually is free—to change his mind and his stated intentions. His victims deserve more than that. Because they are traumatized and fearful, they require for their security a firm, unambiguous commitment that Defendant will not directly or indirectly contact either of them; considering the situation, any secure commitment is attainable only via a Court order. Plaintiffs cannot emotionally afford to be in a position in which Defendant can unilaterally change his mind. + +4. In the event that Defendant wants to be present at the deposition of a Plaintiff or at a Court hearing where a Plaintiff is to attend, the Court can easily resolve such situations at that time. Meanwhile, the sole purpose of Defendant's refusal to agree to not contact these Plaintiffs is to leave them intimidated and in fear of being in the presence of the man who has sexually exploited, abused, molested, and/or battered them. One would think that, instead, Defendant would have voluntarily agreed with Plaintiffs' prior request to have no contact directly or indirectly, including through his agents, and would want to demonstrate to the Court that he will not contact his victims; his refusal to stay away from them is nothing short of disturbing. + +5. Although not requested, if Defendant's counsel seeks some type of reciprocity, Plaintiffs' counsel would agree in writing, and would not oppose a Court order prohibiting Plaintiffs from contacting Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein. It is obvious to undersigned counsel that there should be absolutely no contact between the parties to these lawsuits. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs request this Court to enter an Order prohibiting Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, and/or his agents from directly or indirectly contacting them. + +Dated: June 4, 2009. + +Respectfully submitted, + +PODHURST ORSECK, P.A.

AND MOTION TO IDENTIFY JANE DOE IN THIRD-PARTY SUBPOENAS FOR PURPOSES OF DISCOVERY, OR ALTERNATIVELY, MOTION TO DISMISS "SUA SPONTE", WITH INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM OF LAW + +Plaintiffs, JANE DOES 2-7, hereby serve their Response to Defendant's Motion to Compel and/or Identify Plaintiffs in the Style of this Case and Motion to Identify Jane Doe in Third-Party Subpoenas for Purposes of Discovery, or Alternatively, Motion to Dismiss "Sua Sponte", With Incorporated Memorandum of Law, and state as follows: + +- 1. The lawsuits filed by JANE DOES 2-7 involve private, intimate facts pertaining to their own childhood sexual abuse and exploitation by Defendant Jeffrey Epstein. + +2. Jane Does 2-7 filed their suits under a pseudonym' to prevent public disclosure of the private, highly sensitive and intimate facts pertaining to their sexual assaults, and the public association of their identities with Defendant Epstein and these assaults. + +3. Dr. Gilbert Kliman,' a well-known forensic psychiatrist with an expertise in the field of child trauma, has met with and evaluated each of Jane Does 2-7 and opined that public disclosure of their real names would create a substantial risk to them of further psychological harm. See Exhibit "A", Declaration of Gilbert Kliman, M.D. + +4. Dr. Kliman opines as follows: + +Releasing names of the plaintiffs to the public will reenact experiences of powerlessness and helplessness in the face of a boundary violation. Repetition and reenactment represent central features of Criterion B in the DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder trauma. In effect, release of their identity and public intrusion into their personal life represents a reenactment of the shame of sexual traumatization. Repetition and reenactment are central pathologies that afflict sexual trauma survivors. + +Victims of sexual abuse often rely upon some form of dissociation, splitting or denial, as a defensive means to manage overwhelming affects associated with the sexual trauma. Each of the plaintiff girls has employed some variation of this defense, both during the massages and then subsequently following disclosure of the abuse. Primitive, maladaptive responses of this nature will become additionally reinforced as a result of public disclosure. + +Another aspect of the plaintiffs' experience, which is recognized by DSM-IV-TR, is that the trauma was associated with human design factors (such as cruel intention to do harm, rape, torture). Trauma of this origin has a tendency to produce more "severe or long lasting" posttraumatic stress disorder than natural events (DSM IV TR p. 464). A policy of deliberate revelation of the names of the victims would reinforce the sense of design, pattern and policy of human intentions. + +It is my opinion, with a reasonably high degree of medical certainty that the defense motion to allow public disclosure of the plaintiffs' identity is clinically + +1 Defendant and his counsel are aware of the real names of Jane Does 2-7. + +2 A copy of the curriculum vitae of Dr. Gilbert Kliman is attached hereto as Exhibit "B". + +and ethically a wrongful plan. The act of revealing their identity against their wishes places the plaintiffs at risk, in the best of circumstances, of suffering an aggravation of existing diagnostic concerns. It is more probable than not that releasing personal identities will an exacerbation and magnification of symptoms lending to increased risk of revictimization and retraumatization. + +Exhibit "A", II 13-15, 21 + +5. Given the private nature of the allegations in this lawsuit and the serious risk of harm to the mental health of Jane Does 2-7 if a public disclosure of their identities were required. Jane Does 2-7 should be permitted to continue using a pseudonym in this lawsuit. + +6. Notably, in one of the cases consolidated for purposes of discovery, Jane Doe v. Jeffrey Epstein, Case No. 08-80893, this Court recognized the harm likely to result from public disclosure of the victims' identities in these cases, and allowed the Plaintiff in that case to "proceed in this action under the pseudonym 'Jane Doe' ", by Order dated October 6, 2008. + +7. Jeffrey Epstein sets forth no facts to support his bare contention that Jane Does 2- 7 use of a pseudonym in these proceedings interferes with his "constitutional due process right." Ste Motion to Compel, p. 3. Defendant and his counsel know the identities of these Plaintiffs. + +8. Defendant also requests the Court's permission to use the real names of Jane Does 2-7 in various third-party subpoenas for discovery purposes. Defendant does not identify any of the entities or persons to whom he intends to send subpoenas. An order granting the relief requested without limitations would essentially nullify Jane Does 2-7's right to proceed anonymously. Jane Does 2-7 therefore object to the issuance of third-party subpoenas, and submit that Defendant can obtain the discovery he seeks by alternative means that will preserve the confidentiality of the Jane Does 2-7's identities. + +9. If this Court were to permit third party subpoenas or records custodian depositions using the existing captions and identifying Jane Does 2-7 in the body of the subpoena by their names, due to publicity surrounding the Defendant's crimes, then Jane Does 2- 7 would effectively be revealed as abuse victims in these cases against Defendant Epstein. Any subpoenas or notices to third parties therefore should not disclose the type of action or the Defendant's identity. There are alternatives which would preserve Jane Does 2-7's anonymity and be more efficient and cost-effective at the same time. For instance, Defendant can obtain records from various non-party sources through Plaintiffs' counsel, who can certify that they have obtained the records through authorizations signed by Jane Does 2-7. Another means to obtain non-party records concerning Plaintiffs is the appointment of a special =, who would verify authenticity and completeness of the records. + +10. Finally, Jeffrey Epstein's request that this Court order a "sua sponte" dismissal is illogical. Sua spank means "[w]ithout prompting or suggestion; on its own motion." Black's Law Dictionary 1437 (7th ed.1999). Thus, the definition of sua sponte does not fit these circumstances, because the Court is being prompted by Epstein's Motion. Velchez v. Carnival Corp" 331 F.3d 1207 (11th Cir. 2003). In any event, there is no basis or authority to support a dismissal of these cases. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 respectfully request that (i) this Court deny Defendant's Motion to Compel and/or Identify Plaintiffs in the Style of this Case and Motion to Identify Jane Doe in Third-Party Subpoenas for Purposes of Discovery, or Alternatively, Motion to Dismiss "Sua Sponte", in its entirety; (ii) Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 be permitted to continue using their pseudonyms in this litigation; (iii) this Court order that records from non-parties relating to Jane Does 2-7, including medical and employment records, only be obtained through Plaintiffs' counsel by means of signed authorizations that do not include the caption or identify Epstein as the party seeking records, or alternatively, appoint a special to obtain the records, who would verify authenticity and completeness of the records; and (iv) all other relief this Court deems just and appropriate. + +# MEMORANDUM OF LAW + +#### I. PLAINTIFFS JANE DOES 2-7 SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO PROCEED ANONYMOUSLY IN THIS CASE DUE TO THE SENSITIVE, PRIVATE NATURE OF THE UNDERLYING FACTS AND THE RISK OF PSYCHOLOGICAL HARM TO THE PLAINTIFFS + +Federal courts permit a party to proceed under a pseudonym when special circumstances warrant anonymity. See, e.g., Roe v. Aware Woman Ctr. for Choice, Inc., 253 F.3d 678, 685-87 (11th Cir.2001); Does I thru XXIII v. Advanced Textile Corp., 214 F.3d 1058, 1068-69 (9th Cir.2000); James v. Jacobson, 6 F.3d 233, 238-39 (4th Cir.1993); EW v. New York Blood Center, 213 F.R.D. 108, 110-12 (E.D.N.Y.2003); Javier v. =-Botello, 211 F.R.D. 194, 196 (W.D.N.Y.2002); Doe v. 105 F.Supp.2d 40, 43.44 (E.D.N.Y.1999); Doe v. United Servs. Life Ins. Co., 123 F.R.D. 437, 439 (S.D.N.Y.1988). Sexual assault victims are a paradigmatic example of those entitled to a grant of anonymity. See Doe No. 2 v. Kolko, 242 F.R.D. 193 (ED. N.Y. 2006); Doe v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield United of Wisc., 112 F.3d 869, 872 (7th Cir.1997) ("fictitious names are allowed when necessary to protect the privacy of ... rape victims, and other particularly vulnerable parties or witnesses"); see also Doe v. City of Chicago, 360 F.3d 667, 669 (7th Cir. 2004). + +The decision whether to allow a plaintiff to proceed anonymously is within the court's discretion. See Aware Woman Or., 253 F.3d at 684; Javier, 211 F.R.D. at 195; EW, 213 F.R.D. at 110. As set forth above, this Court exercised its direction in one of the consolidated cases, Jane Doe v. Jeffrey Epstein, Case No. 08-80893, to allow a plaintiff to proceed under the pseudonym "Jane Doe" in an Order dated October 6, 2008. + +Courts will permit a party to proceed under a pseudonym where "the party's need for anonymity outweighs prejudice to the opposing party and the public's interest in knowing the party's identity." Does I Thru XXIII, 214 F.3d at 1068; see Javier, 211 F.R.D. at 195; EW, 213 F.R.D. at 111; As set forth herein, the balancing test in this case weighs in favor of permitted plaintiff to continue to proceed anonymously: + +> In undertaking this balance, courts have considered such facts as (1) whether the plaintiff is suing the government or a private person; (2) whether the plaintiff would be compelled to disclose intimate information; (3) whether plaintiff would be compelled to his or her intention in engage in illegal conduct, thereby risking criminal prosecution; (4) whether the plaintiff would risk injury if identified; (5) whether the party defending against a suit brought under a pseudonym would thereby be prejudiced; (6) the ages of the parties whose identity is to be suppressed; (7) the extent to which the identity of the litigant has been kept confidential; (8) whether, because of the purely legal nature of the issues presented or otherwise, there is an atypically weak public interest in knowing the litigants' identities; and (9) the public interest in guaranteeing open access to proceedings without denying litigants access to the justice system. + +Doe v. Del Rio 241 F.R.D. 154, 157 (S.D. N.Y. 2006) + +The public has a strong interest in protecting the identities of sexual assault victims so that other victims will not be deterred from reporting such crimes. See Doe v. , 202 F.R.D. 173, 176 (E.D.Pa.2001) (granting anonymity to sexual assault victim); Doe No. 2 v. KoIlw, 242 F.R.D. 193 (E.D. N.Y. 2006). That is particularly true in these consolidated cases where there are numerous victims with similar claims. Although these cases have gained considerable media attention, there appears to be little public interest in knowing the specific identity of each of the victims. + +With regard to the second factor, courts have granted anonymity to protect against disclosure of a wide range of issues involving matters of the utmost intimacy, including sexual assault. See, e.g., Aware Woman Ctr., 253 F.3d at 685 (abortion); EW, 213 F.R.D. at II I (infection with hepatitis B); Doe v. 202 F.R.D. 173, 176 (E.D.Pa.2001) (sexual assault victim); , 105 F.Supp.2d at 42 (sexual assault victim); WGA v. Priority Pharmacy, Inc., 184 F.R.D. 616, 617 (E.D.Mo.1999) (status as AIDS patient); Doe v. United Servs. Life Ins. Co., 123 F.R.D. 437, 439 (S.D.N.Y.1988) (sexual orientation); see also Blue Cross, 112 F.3d at 872 (recognizing rape victims as entitled to anonymity). It cannot be reasonably denied that a person's sexual history — especially during their childhood — is an intimate fact. When the childhood sexual history includes criminal sexual contact by an adult, the facts are even more intimate and personal. In the electronic age in which we live, these concerns are heightened. As federal courts have recognized in this context, it is now possible to "determine whether a given individual is a party to a lawsuit in federal court anywhere in the country by the simplest of computer searches, to access the docket sheet of any such case electronically, and ... that entire case files will be accessible over the Internet." Doe v. City of New York, 201 F.R.D. 100, 102 (S.D.N.Y.2001) (denying anonymity where any injury was purely reputational and case did not involve private or intimate matter); see EW, 213 F.R.D. at 112-13. + +As Dr. Kliman explains in his Declaration, disclosure of Jane Does 2-7's identities will place these Plaintiffs "at-risk of having their personal lives scrutinized by friends, extended family, spouses, children, fellow students, employers and fellow employees, the media and general public. This type of exposure humiliates many victims and represents another betrayal of trust. Public exposure places the plaintiffs at further risk of stigmatization, shame and retraumatization." See Exhibit "A" at 1 3. Dr. Kliman also finds it of no consequence that some of the plaintiffs are now legally adults in that "[d)ue to traumatization the plaintiffs are arrested in their development, and even those who are now legally adult are arrested in part to adolescent + +aspects of psychology." Id. at 1 4 + +The policy of protecting victims of sexual misconduct from undue embarrassment and disclosure of their private affairs is firmly established in Fed.R.Evid. 412. The protections of Rule 412 are designed to "encourage victims of sexual misconduct to institute and participate in legal proceedings against alleged offenders." (Committee Notes to 1994 Amendment). Likewise, many states in this country, including Florida and New York, have similarly enacted laws to protect the anonymity of sexual assault victims. See Fla. Stat. §§794.024, 794.026 (2008); N.Y. Civil Rights Law § 50-b (McKinney 2009). In 1994, the Florida Legislature passed The Crime Victims Protections Act. The legislative stated purpose for the Act was "to protect the identity of victims of sexual crimes." Fla. AGO, 2003-56, 2003 WL 22971082 (Dec. 15, 2003). Under §794.024, Florida Statutes, court records that identify the name and/or address of a victim of a sexual crime are presumed to be confidential and exempt from public access. Id. Similarly, upon approving New York's rape shield law, then Governor Mario stated, "sexual assault victims have unfortunately had to endure a terrible invasion of their physical privacy. They have a right to expect that this violation will not be compounded by a further invasion of their privacy." 1991 McKinney's Sessions Laws of N.Y., at 2211-2212 (quoted in Deborah S. v. Diorio, 153 Misc.2d 708, 583 N.Y.S.2d 872 (N.Y.Ciry Civ.Ct.1992)); see also Coker v. Georgia, 433 U.S. 584, 597, 97 S.Ct. 2861, 53 L.Ed.2d 982 (1977) ("Short of homicide, [rape] is the ultimate violation of self'). + +As to the fourth factor of risk injury, Dr. Kliman has evaluated Jane Does 2-7, and has concluded that the childhood sexual abuse at issue has caused features of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including shame, guilt, helplessness, and powerlessness. See Exhibit "A" at 11 4-7. Dr. Kliman further states, "it is more probable than not that releasing personal identities + +will an exacerbation and magnification of symptoms lending to increased risk of revictimization and retraumatization." Id. at 1 21. Thus, this is not a case analogous to those cited by defendant in which the plaintiffs were merely at risk of "personal embarrassment." Instead, there is a genuine and immediate risk of psychological harm. + +None of the cases cited by Defendant where courts denied a plaintiff's request for anonymity involved victims of childhood sexual assault or evidence of emotional or psychological harm that would result from disclosure of the plaintiff's identity. See Doe v. Hartz, 52 F.Supp.2d 1027 (N.D.Iowa 1999); Doe v. Shakur, 164 F.R.D. 359 (E.D.N.Y.1996); Doe v. Bell Atlantic Bus. Sys. Servs., 162 F.R.D. 418 (D.Mass.1995); Doe v. Univ. of Rhode Island, 28 Fed.R.Serv.3d 366, 1993 WL 667341 (D.R.I. Dec. 28, 1993). + +As to the factor of prejudice, the Defendant does not identify how his ability to conduct discovery or impeach Jane Does 2-7's credibility has been or will be impaired if these Plaintiffs are permitted to proceed under a pseudonym. See EW, 213 F.R.D. at 112, M, 105 F.Supp.2d at 44-45. Other than the need to make redactions and take measures not to disclose these Plaintiffs' identities, Defendant will not be hampered or inconvenienced merely by Plaintiffs' anonymity in court papers. As set forth above, Defendant already knows their true identities. See Aware Woman Center, 253 F.3d at 687 (no prejudice where plaintiff offered to disclose her name to defendant); EW, 213 F.R.D. at 112; , 105 F.Supp.2d at 44-45. + +## II. DEFENDANT SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO USE THE REAL NAMES OF JANE DOES 2-7 IN THIRD-PARTY SUBPEONAS EXCEPT FOR THOSE ISSUED TO PERSONS WHOM PLAINTIFFS HAVE ALREADY DISCLOSED THEIR SEXUAL ABUSE + +As for the use of Jane Does 2-7's real names in subpoenas issued to non-parties, a party may obtain discovery of any non-privileged matter that is relevant to a claim or defense of any party. Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b)(1). However, a district court may limit discovery "for good cause shown" by making "any order which justice requires to protect a party or person from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense," including that the discovery not be had or that it be had only by a method other than that selected by the party seeking discovery. Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(c). Jane Does 2-7 have articulated a specific and substantial harm from disclosure of their identities. + +If this Court were to permit Defendant to issue third-party subpoenas containing Jane Doe 2-7's real names, the identity of the Defendant, and/or facts pertaining to the nature of the case to whomever Defendant wants, it would be akin to requiring these Plaintiffs to use their real name in the pleadings. Instead, Jane Does 2-7 propose to voluntarily execute authorizations (which would not contain the case names or the identity of the Defendant) to allow Defendant to obtain education, employment, and medical records to be used for purposes of this litigation only.3Alternatively, Defendant can obtain the records through a special who would verify authenticity and completeness of the records. Either of these approaches would not only place Jane Does 2-7 at less risk of psychological harm, but would also be more cost-effective and efficient. + +# CONCLUSION + +Based on the foregoing, Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 respectfully request that Defendant's Motion to Compel and/or Identify Plaintiffs in the Style of this Case and Motion to Identify Jane Doe in Third-Party Subpoenas for Purposes of Discovery, or Alternatively, Motion to Dismiss "Sua Sponte" be denied in its entirety, and that Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 be permitted to continue using their pseudonyms in this litigation. Additionally, to avoid public disclosure of the Plaintiffs identities in non-party records discovery, Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 request that such + +3 Defendant and Plaintiff have previously agreed that education records can be obtained in this + +discovery be obtained either through Plaintiffs' counsel by means of written authorizations, or by the appointment of a special + +Dated: June 8, 2009 + +Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Adam D.

JOINDER IN PLAINTIFFS' JANE DOES 101 AND 102'S MOTION FOR NO-CONTACT ORDER + +Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 join in Plaintiffs Jane Does 101 and 102's Motion for No-Contact Order, filed May 22, 2009, and state as follows: + +- I. Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 incorporate and adopt the facts set forth in the pending Motion for No-Contact Order. Additionally, Plaintiffs offer additional facts in support of the Motion for a No-Contact Order, as set forth below. +- 2. Upon information and belief, Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 were all identified on the victims list provided to Defendant Epstein's counsel in connection with the Non-prosecution Agreement, and each has been identified as victims to Defendant Epstein in their pending + +actions. In June 2008, Palm Beach Circuit Court Judge Pucillo ordered Defendant Epstein "not to have any contact, direct or indirect," with any of his victims. Judge Pucillo clarified that forbidden "indirect" contact included, but was not limited to, text messages, emails, telephone calls, or messages through third parties. As detailed herein, Jane Does 4 and 7 have been contacted on multiple occasions by at least one person representing that she is cooperating with and communicating on behalf of Defendant Epstein. In these contacts, the Plaintiffs/victims were threatened and harassed. + +3. As with other Plaintiffs, Jane Does 4 and 7 were first introduced to Defendant Epstein by Hayley , who was a high school friend. I + +4. had had contact with these Plaintiffs on several occasions in which she represented to Plaintiffs Jane Doe 4 and 7 that she is cooperating with Defendant Epstein's attorneys and that she is being financially supported by Defendant Epstein. Moreover, has told these Plaintiffs specifically that she is communicating on behalf of Defendant Epstein. + +5. During these contacts, made disparaging comments to the Plaintiffs and also sent disturbing text messages to Jane Doe No. 4. In one text, specifically stated, "I just met with my lawyer today and I'm finally done with the Epstein case. LOL. I knew you were suing Jeffrey all along and I've learned so much about you in the meantime. LOL." Jane Doe 4 understood this to mean that had exchanged private information about Jane Doe 4 with Defendant Epstein and his attorneys. Since February, 2009, Jane Doe 4 has continued to receive text messages from that are sometimes harassing and other times seek information about Jane Doe 4's private life, her lawsuit against Defendant Epstein, and/or her lawyer's strategy. + +was named in at least one civil case against Mr. Epstein as a co-defendant. See Jane Doe v. Epstein, case no. 50-2008-CA-0065996, Palm Beach County Circuit Court. brought multiple underage girls to Epstein in addition to Jane Does 4 and 7. + +6. On one occasion, approached Jane Doe 7 and disclosed that she was cooperating with Defendant Epstein's defense, and that she (M) agreed that she would testify against Jane Doe 7 and the other plaintiffs to make sure that none of the Plaintiffs ever received any money from Defendant Epstein, making clear that her testimony would not be truthful to achieve this end. She also made disparaging comments to Jane Doe 7, accusing her of ruining Defendant Epstein's reputation. + +7. The very possibility of any contact with Epstein or his agents, including M, causes anxiety and distress particularly to Jane Doe 4 and 7, as well as the other Plaintiffs. A nocontact order should prevent further harassment of the Plaintiffs by Epstein and his agents, including, but not limited to, Hayley + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7, respectfully join Plaintiffs Jane Does 101 and 102 in moving this Court to enter an order granting Plaintiffs' Motion for a No Contact Order prohibiting the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, from any contact or communication with Plaintiffs, either directly or indirectly, except through Plaintiffs' attorneys of record for the duration of the Order. + +Dated: June 8, 2009 Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Adam D.

Defendants in civil actions. — "... a civil defendant who raises an affirmative defense is not precluded from asserting the privilege [against self- + +incrimination], because affirmative defenses do not constitute the kind of voluntary application for affirmative relief' which would prevent a plaintiff bringing a claim seeking affirmative relief from asserting the privilege. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court deny the relief sought by Plaintiff. + +## Affirmative Defenses + +1. As to all counts, Plaintiff actually consented to and was a willing participant in the acts alleged, and therefore, her claims are barred, or her damages are required to be reduced accordingly. + +2. As to all counts alleged, Plaintiff actually consented to and participated in conduct similar and/or identical to the acts alleged with other persons which were the sole or contributing cause of Plaintiffs alleged damages. + +3. As to all counts, Plaintiff impliedly consented to the acts alleged by not objecting, and therefore, her claims are barred, or her damages are required to be reduced accordingly. + +4. As to all counts, Defendant reasonably believed or was told that the Plaintiff had attained the age of 18 years old at the time of the alleged acts. + +5. As to all counts, Plaintiff's claims are barred as she said she was 18 years or older at the time. + +6. As to all counts, Plaintiff's alleged damages were caused in whole or part by events and/or circumstances completely unrelated to the incident(s) alleged in the complaint. + +7. Plaintiffs claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. + +8. As to Plaintiffs claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault & Battery," and Count II — "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," such claims are subject to the limitations as set forth in §768.72, et seq., Florida Statutes. + +9. As to Plaintiff's claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault & Battery," and Count II — "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," such claims are subject to the constitutional limitations and guideposts as set forth in BMW of North America v. Gore, 116 S.Ct 1589 (1996); Philip Morris USA v. M, 127 S.Ct. 1057 (2007); State Farm v. , 123 S.Ct 1513 (2003); v. Liqqet Group. Inc., 945 So.2d 1246 (Fla. 2006). The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Florida's Constitution, Art. I, §§2 and 9, prohibit the imposition of grossly excessive or arbitrary punishments + +10.As to Plaintiffs claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault & Battery," and Count II — "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," the determination of whether or not Defendant is liable for punitive damages is required to be bifurcated from a determination of the amount to be imposed. + +11.Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action for sexual assault and/or battery under Count I. + +12.As to Count III, Plaintiff has failed to plead a cause of action as she does not and can not show a violation of a predicate act under 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2005). + +13.As to Count III, the version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 in effect at the time of the alleged conduct applies, and, thus, the presumptive minimum damages amount should Plaintiff prove the elements of such claim is \$50,000, and not subject to any multiplier. + +14.As to Count III, application of the amended version of 18 U.S.C. §2255, effective July 27, 2006, would be in violation of the legal axiom against retroactive application of an amended statute, and also in violation of such constitutional principles, including but not limited to, the "Ex Post Facto" Clause, U.S. Const. Article I, §9, cl. 3, §10, cl. 1, and procedural and substantive due process, U.S. Const. 14th Amend., 5th Amend. The statute in effect during the time of the alleged conduct applies. + +15.As to Count III, application of the amended version of 18 U.S.C. §2255, effective July 27, 2006, is prohibited pursuant to the vagueness doctrine and the Rule of Lenity. A criminal statute is required to give " 'fair warning ... in language that the common world will understand, of what the law intends to do if a certain line is passed. To make the warning fair, so far as possible the line should be clear.' " United States v. Lanier, 520 U.S. 259, 265, 117 S.Ct. 1219, 137 L.Ed.2d 432 (1997) (quoting McBoyle v. United States 283 U.S. 25, 27, 51 S.Ct. 340, 75 L.Ed. 816 (1931)) (omission in original). The "three related manifestations of the fair warning requirement" are: (1) the vagueness doctrine bars enforcement of a statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application; (2) the canon of strict construction of criminal statutes, or rule of lenity, ensures fair warning by so resolving ambiguity in a criminal statute as to apply it only to conduct clearly covered; (3) due process bars courts from applying a novel construction of a criminal statute to conduct that neither the statute nor any prior judicial decision has fairly disclosed to be within its scope. + +16. The applicable version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 creates a cause of action on behalf of a "minor." Plaintiff had attained the age of majority at the time of filing this action, and accordingly, her cause of action is barred. + +17. Because Plaintiff has no claim under 18 U.S.C. §2255, this Court is without subject matter jurisdiction as to all claims asserted. + +18.Application of the 18 U.S.C. §2255, as amended, effective July 27, 2006, is in violation of the constitutional principles of due process, the "Ex Post Facto" clause, and the Rule of Lenity, in that in amending the term "minor" to "person" as to those who may bring a cause of action impermissibly and unconstitutionally broadened the scope of persons able to bring a §2255 claim. + +19. 18 U.S.C. §2255 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment under the U.S. Constitution, and thus Plaintiffs claim thereunder is barred. + +20. 18 U.S.C. §2255 violates the constitutional guarantees of procedural and substantive due process. Procedural due process guarantees that a person will not be deprived of life, liberty or property without notice and opportunity to be heard. Substantive due process protects fundamental rights. Accordingly, Plaintiffs cause of action thereunder is barred. + +WHEREFORE Defendant requests that this Court deny the relief sought by Plaintiff. + +Robert D. Critton, Jr. Attorney for Defendant Epstein + +**Certificate of Service** + +I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true copy of the foregoing was electronically filed with the Clerk of the Court using CM/ECF.

Rule 15(a), Fed.R.Civ.P. (2009); Loc. Gen. Rules 7.1, 15.1 (S.D. Fla. 2009): + +1. Pursuant to Rule 15(a)(2), Fed.R.Civ.P., a party may amend his pleading "only with the opposing party's written consent or the court's leave. The court should freely give leave when justice so requires." Plaintiff's counsel has consented in writing to Defendant's proposed amendments set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Plaintiffs written consent to the amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit B. + +2. It is well settled that leave to amend is liberally granted where, as here, there is no resulting prejudice. The liberal allowance of pleading amendments is a "recognition that controversies should be decided on the merits whenever practicable." See generally, 27A Fed.Proc., Lawyers Ed. §62.273. Generally; freely allowed (2008). "In the absence of any apparent or declared reason--such as undue delay, bad faith or dilatory motive on the part of the movant, repeated failure to cure deficiencies by amendments previously allowed, undue prejudice to the opposing party by virtue of allowance of the amendment, futility of amendment, etc.—the leave sought should, as the rules require, be 'freely given.' " Foman v. 371 U.S. 178, 182, 83 S.Ct. 227, 9 L.Ed.2d 222 (1962). + +3. In the instant case, Defendant only amended his affirmative defenses. This is the first amendment sought by Defendant. Defendant's original Answer and Affirmative Defenses to Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint was recently filed with this Court on April 2, 2009. Recently certain constitutional issues have come to the forefront in other litigation filed against EPSTEIN based on similar allegations regarding the 18 U.S.C. §2255 claim and the punitive damages claim. Accordingly, Defendant seeks to add affirmative defenses directed to those claims. See affirmative defenses in Exhibit A hereto. + +4. There will be no resulting prejudice to Plaintiff should leave to amend be granted. Defendant has not unduly delayed this matter in seeking the amendments. Defendant by written correspondence sought Plaintiffs permission to amend. As noted, Plaintiff agreed in writing to the amendments. See Exhibit B hereto. + +5. Accordingly, Defendant is entitled to the amendments sought. Upon this Court entering the order granting Defendant's motion to amend, he will file and serve the Amended Answer and Affirmative Defenses to Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint. Loc. General Rule 15.1 (S.D. Fla. 2009). + +WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Court enter an order granting Defendant's motion to amend. + +## Rule 7.1 Certification + +I hereby certify that Defendant's counsel communicated in writing with Plaintiffs counsel regarding this motion to amend.

As to all counts, Plaintiff actually consented to and was awilling participant in the acts alleged, and therefore, her claims are barred, or her damages are required to be reduced accordingly. + +2. As to all counts alleged, Plaintiff actually consented to and participated in conduct similar and/or identical to the acts alleged with other persons which were the sole or contributing cause of Plaintiffs alleged damages. + +3. As to all counts, Plaintiff impliedly consented to the acts alleged by not objecting, and therefore, her claims are barred, or her damages are required to be reduced accordingly. + +4. As to all counts, Defendant reasonably believed or was told that the Plaintiff had attained the age of 18 years old at the time of the alleged ads. + +5. As to all counts, Plaintiff's claims are barred as she said she was 18 years or older at the time. + +6. As to all counts, Plaintiffs alleged damages were caused in whole or part by events and/or circumstances completely unrelated to the incident(s) alleged in the complaint. + +7. Plaintiffs claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. + +8. As to Plaintiffs claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault & Battery," and Count II — "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," such claims are subject to the limitations as set forth in §768.72, et seq., Florida Statutes. + +9. As to Plaintiffs claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault & Battery," and Count II — "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," such claims are subject to the constitutional limitations and guideposts as set forth in BMW of North America v. Gore, 116S.Ct 1589 (1996); Philip Morris USA v. MI 127 S.Ct. 1057 (2007); State Farm v. NMI, 123 S.Ct 1513 (2003); v. Liqqet Group, Inc., 945 So.2d 1246 (Fla. 2006). The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Florida's Constitution, Art. I, §§2 and 9, prohibit the imposition of grossly excessive or arbitrary punishments + +10.As to Plaintiff's claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault & Battery," and Count II — "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," the determination of whether or not Defendant is liable for punitive damages is required to be bifurcated from adetermination of the amount to be imposed. + +11. Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action for sexual assault and/or battery under Count I. + +12.As to Count III, Plaintiff has failed to plead acause of action as she does not and can not show a violation of a predicate act under 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2005). + +13.As to Count III, the version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 in effect at the time of the alleged conduct applies, and, thus, the presumptive minimum damages amount should Plaintiff prove the elements of such claim is \$50,000, and not subject to any multiplier. + +14.As to Count III, application of the amended version of 18 U.S.C. §2255, effective July 27, 2006, would be in violation of the legal axiom against retroactive application of an amended statute, and also in violation of such constitutional principles, including but not limited to, the "Ex Post Facto" Clause, U.S. Const. Article I, §9, cl. 3, §10, cl. 1, and procedural and substantive due process, U.S. Const. le Amend., 5th Amend. The statute in effect during the time of the alleged conduct applies. + +15.As to Count III, application of the amended version of 18 U.S.C. §2255, effective July 27, 2006, is prohibited pursuant to the vagueness doctrine and the Rule of Lenity. Acriminal statute is required to give '"fair warning ... in language that the common world will understand, of what the law intends to do if a certain line is passed. To make the warning fair, so far as possible the line should be clear.' " United States v. Lanier, 520U.S. 259, 265, 117 S.Ct. 1219, 137 L.Ed.2d 432 (1997) (quoting McBovle v. United States 283 U.S. 25, 27, 51 S.Ct. 340, 75 L.Ed. 816 (1931)) (omission in original). The "three related manifestations of the fair warning requirement" are: (1) the vagueness doctrine bars enforcement of a statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application; (2) the canon of strict construction of criminal statutes, or rule of lenity, ensures fair warning by so resolving ambiguity in a criminal statute as to apply it only to conduct clearly covered; (3) due process bars courts from applying anovel construction of a criminal statute to conduct that neither the statute nor any prior judicial decision has fairly disclosed to be within its scope. + +16. The applicable version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 creates a cause of action on behalf of a "minor." Plaintiff had attained the age of majority at the time of filing this action, and accordingly, her cause of action is barred. + +17. Because Plaintiff has no claim under 18 U.S.C. §2255, this Court is without subject matter jurisdiction as to all claims asserted. + +18.Application of the 18 U.S.C. §2255, as amended, effective July 27, 2006, is in violation of the constitutional principles of due process, the "Ex Post Facto" clause, and the Rule of Lenity, in that in amending the term "minor" to "person" as to those who may bring a cause of action impermissibly and unconstitutionally broadened the scope of persons able to bring a §2255 claim. + +19. 18 U.S.C. §2255 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 1491 Amendment under the U.S. Constitution, and thus Plaintiffs claim thereunder is barred. + +20. 18 U.S.C. §2255 violates the constitutional guarantees of procedural and substantive due process. Procedural due process guarantees that a person will not be deprived of life, liberty or property without notice and opportunity to be heard. Substantive due process protects fundamental rights. Accordingly, Plaintiffs cause of action thereunder is barred. + +WHEREFORE Defendant requests that this Court deny the r f sought by Plaintiff. + +Robert D.

MOTION TO COMPEL ANSWERS TO PLAINTFF'S FIRST REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION + +Plaintiff Jane Doe, hereby moves this Court for an order compelling defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, to answer her first request for production or, in the alternative, to prove that his invocation of his Fifth Amendment privilege is proper. Jane Doe also requests production of a privilege log. + +Jane Doe has propounded 16 requests for production, including such straightforward requests as requests for production of: + +Request No. 1: Copies of all telephone records; + +Request No. 2: Photos of the inside of your home located at 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Florida, that depict the room(s) where massages took place (including massage table). + +Request No. 10: Correspondence between Epstein and federal prosecutors; + +Request No. 12: Personal tax returns; + +Request No. 13: Photocopies of Epstein's passport; + +Request No. 14: A statement of net worth; and + +Request No. 16: Medical records. + +In response to each and every one of these requests, Epstein has given the following response (with only minor variations here and there): + +Defendant is asserting his U.S. constitutional privileges. I intend to respond to all relevant questions regarding this lawsuit, however, my attorneys have counseled me that at the present time I cannot select authenticate, and produce documents relevant to this lawsuit and I must accept this advice or risk losing my Sixth Amendment right to effective representation. Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights under the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments as guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Drawing an adverse inference under these circumstances would unconstitutionally burden my exercise of my constitutional rights, would be unreasonable, and would therefore violate the Constitution. + +This Court should order Epstein to provide all of the requested information or, in the alternative, prove that his Fifth Amendment invocations are valid. It is for the court, not the claimant, to determine whether the hazard of incrimination is justified. United States v. Argomaniz, 925 F.2d 1349, 1355 (11th Cir. 1991). "A court must make a particularized inquiry, deciding, in connection with each specific area that the + +questioning party wishes to explore, whether or not the privilege is well-founded." Id. Typically this is done in an in camera proceeding wherein the person asserting the privilege is given the opportunity "to substantiate his claims of the privilege and the district court is able to consider the questions asked and the documents requested by the summons." Id. + +Here Epstein has made boilerplate invocation of the Fifth Amendment to each and every request propounded by Jane Doe, including for example the request for correspondence with federal prosecutors and for production of federal tax returns. This obviously is not a request with Fifth Amendment implications, as the information has already been fully disclosed to the Government. + +For all these reasons, the Court should compel Epstein to answer the requests or provide a particularized justification for his Fifth Amendment invocation with regard to each request. + +Epstein's "cut and paste" response to the request for production also blatantly disregards the requirements for invoking privilege under the Court's local rules. Local rule 26.1.G very specifically requires the preparation of a privilege log with respect to all documents and oral communications (among other things) that are withheld on the basis of privilege. Epstein has failed to prepare such a log, making it impossible for Jane Doe to effectively challenge his generic assertions. Indeed, with respect to a few requests, Epstein has stated: "Further, the request may include information subject to work product or an attorney-client privilege." Of course, the whole purpose of forcing a defendant to prepare a privilege log is to force the defendant to decide whether or not + +information is privileged. An assertion that something "may" be privileged is obviously woefully deficient. The Local Rules do not permit this tactic, and Epstein should be (at a minimum) promptly required to produce a privilege log. + +For all these reasons, the Court should compel Epstein to provide a privilege log and to answer the interrogatories or provide a particularized justification for his Fifth Amendment invocation with regard to each request. + +It should be noted that (with minor exceptions) the only grounds on which Epstein can refuse to answer the request for production is proof of a valid Fifth Amendment privilege. This the only objection Epstein has asserted (with minor exceptions). As a result, any other objections to production are deemed waived. See Local Rule 26.1G.3.(a) ("Any ground [for an objection] not stated in an objection within the time provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or any extensions thereof, shall be waived."). + +# SPECIFIC REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION + +For the convenience of the court — and in compliance with Local Rule 26.1 H (party filing motion to compel shall list specific requests in succession) — Jane Doe's requests for production and Epstein's objections are as follows: + +Request No. 1: Copies of all telephone records in your or your attorney's possession from 2002 through 2005 that in any way relate to you (including all phone lines owned by you or that were used to contact girls for the purposes of scheduling massages for you.) + +Defendant is asserting his U.S. constitutional privileges. I intend to respond to all relevant questions regarding this lawsuit, however, my attorneys have counseled me that at the present time I cannot select authenticate, and produce documents relevant to this lawsuit and I must accept this advice or risk losing my Sixth Amendment right to effective + +representation. Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights under the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments as guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Drawing an adverse inference under these circumstances would unconstitutionally burden my exercise of my constitutional rights, would be unreasonable, and would therefore violate the Constitution. + +Request No. 2: All massage appointment books, diaries, computer calendars or scheduling entities, scheduling books or any other writing or correspondence that contains the names of any of the girls that were called, contacted, scheduled or who otherwise went to your home located at 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Florida, for the purpose of giving you a massage. + +Defendant is asserting his U.S. constitutional privileges.

Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights under the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments as guaranteed by the United States Constitution.

and every one of these questions, Epstein has given the following response: + +In response, Defendant asserts his U.S. constitutional privileges as specified herein. I intend to respond to all relevant discovery regarding this lawsuit, however, my attorneys have counseled me that I cannot provide answers to any discovery relevant to this lawsuit and I must accept this advice or risk losing my Sixth Amendment right to effective representation. Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights under the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments as guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Drawing an adverse inference under these circumstances would unconstitutionally burden my exercise of my constitutional rights, would be unreasonable, and would therefore violate the Constitution. + +This Court should order Epstein to answer all of the requests for admission or, in the alternative, prove that his Fifth Amendment invocations are valid. It is for the court, not the claimant, to determine whether the hazard of incrimination is justified. United States v. Argomaniz, 925 F.2d 1349, 1355 (11th Cir. 1991). "A court must make a particularized inquiry, deciding, in connection with each specific area that the questioning party wishes to explore, whether or not the privilege is well-founded." Id. Typically this is done in an in camera proceeding wherein the person asserting the privilege is given the opportunity "to substantiate his claims of the privilege and the + +district court is able to consider the questions asked and the documents requested by the summons." Id. + +Here Epstein has made boilerplate invocation of the Fifth Amendment to each and every question propounded by Jane Doe, including for example a request that he admit that his net worth is more than \$500 million. It is not apparent how admitting his net worth is incriminating in the circumstances of this case. In any event, the Fifth Amendment does not operate in this fashion. It is Epstein's obligation to explain his claims on a "question-by-question basis." Id. + +The only issue before the Court is Epstein's Fifth Amendment privilege. Epstein has only asserted a Fifth Amendment objection to production. As a result, any other objections to production are deemed waived. See Local Rule 26.1G.3.(a) ("Any ground [for an objection] not stated in an objection within the time provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or any extensions thereof, shall be waived."). + +# SPECIFIC REQUESTS FOR ADMISSION + +For the convenience of the court — and in compliance with Local Rule 26.1 H (party filing motion to compel shall list specific requests in succession) — Jane Doe's requests for admission are as follows: + +- 1. Your net worth is greater than \$10 million. +- 2. Your net worth is greater than \$50 million. +- 3. Your net worth is greater than \$100 million. +- 4. Your net worth is greater than \$500 million. +- 5. Your net worth is greater than \$1 billion. + +6. Since being incarcerated you have, directly or indirectly (through the services or assistance of other persons), conveyed money or assets in an attempt to insulate or protect your money or assets from being captured in any civil lawsuits filed against you. + +7. You own or control, directly or indirectly, real estate property in the Caribbean. + +8. You own or control, directly or indirectly, real estate property in foreign countries. + +9. In the last 2 years you have transferred assets and/or money and/or financial instruments to countries outside the United States. + +10. You have provided financial support to the modeling agency MC2. + +11. You have committed sexual assault against Plaintiff, a minor. + +12. You committed battery against Plaintiff. + +13. You digitally penetrated Plaintiff when she was a minor. + +14. You offered Plaintiff more money contingent upon her having sex with your or giving you oral sex. + +15. You intended to harm Plaintiff when you committed these sexual acts against her. + +16. You knew Plaintiff was under the age of 16 when you sexually touched and fondled her. + +17. You intend to hire investigators to intimidate and harass Plaintiff during this litigation. + +18. You were engaged in the act of trafficking minors across state or country borders for the purposes of sex or prostitution between 2000 and the present. + +- 19. You coerced Plaintiff into being a prostitute and remaining in prostitution. +- 20. You are guilty of the following offenses against Jane Doe: +- A.

You are moving significant financial assets overseas, outside of the direct territorial reach of the U.S. and Florida Courts. +- 22.

+Plaintiff Jane Doe, hereby moves this Court for an order compelling defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, to answer her first set of interrogatories or, in the alternative, to prove that his invocation of his Fifth Amendment privilege is proper. + +Jane Doe has propounded 23 interrogatories, including such straightforward requests as: + +Interrogatory No. 2: Describe financial assets that are under your control, directly or indirectly, including interests in corporations or other business entities. + +Interrogatory No. 3: Describe which financial assets listed in your answer to interrogatory #2 are located outside the 50 states of the United States and where they are located. + +Interrogatory No. 4: Describe your net worth, including income and expenses for 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. + +Interrogatory No. 5: Describe any real property in which you have a total or partial interest, either directly or indirectly. + +Interrogatory No. 7: Describe any transfer of assets under your control, either directly or indirectly, to locations outside the 50 United States in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. + +Interrogatory No. 8: Describe, with specificity, your travel to locations outside the 50 states of the United states in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, including your dates of travel, location to which you traveled and persons that accompanied you in each such travel. + +Interrogatory No. 11: Have you heard or do you know about any statement or remark (verbal or written) made by or on behalf of any party to this lawsuit, other than yourself, concerning any issue in this lawsuit? If so, state the name and address of each person who heard or read it, and the date, time, place and substance of each statement or remark. + +Interrogatory No. 12: Do you intend to elicit testimony of witnesses other than Plaintiff regarding any statements she has ever made? If so, what statements do you + +intend to produce through testimony? Through which witness do you intend to elicit such statement? And for what purpose do you intend to admit such statement? + +Interrogatory No. 23: State the facts upon which you rely for each affirmative defense in your answer. + +In response to these interrogatories, Epstein has given the following response (with only slight variations on the overbreadth objection): + +Defendant is asserting specific legal objections to the interrogatories as well as his U.S. constitutional privileges. I intend to respond to all relevant questions regarding this lawsuit, however, my attorneys have counseled me that I cannot provide answers to any questions relevant to this lawsuit and I must accept this advice or risk losing my Sixth Amendment right to effective representation. Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights under the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments as guaranteed by United States Constitution. Drawing an adverse inference under these circumstances would unconstitutionally burden my exercise of my constitutional rights, would be unreasonable, and would therefore violate the Constitution. In addition to and without waiving his constitutional privileges, Defendant objects as the interrogatory is so overbroad and, thus, seeks information that is neither relevant to the subject matter of the pending action nor does it appear reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. + +This Court should order Epstein to answer all of these interrogatories or, in the alternative, prove that his Fifth Amendment invocations are valid. It is for the court, not the claimant, to determine whether the hazard of incrimination is justified. United States v. Argomaniz, 925 F.2d 1349, 1355 (11th Cir. 1991). "A court must make a particularized inquiry, deciding, in connection with each specific area that the questioning party wishes to explore, whether or not the privilege is well-founded." Id. Typically this is done in an in camera proceeding wherein the person asserting the privilege is given the opportunity "to substantiate his claims of the privilege and the + +district court is able to consider the questions asked and the documents requested by the summons." Id. + +Here Epstein has made boilerplate invocation of the Fifth Amendment to each and every question propounded by Jane Doe, including for example the question: Do you intend to elicit testimony of witnesses other than Plaintiff regarding any statements she has ever made? This obviously is not an interrogatory with Fifth Amendment implications. Nor is Epstein's claim that this interrogatory is somehow "overbroad" or "not calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence" even facially plausible. + +Epstein's "cut and paste" response to the interrogatories also blatantly disregards the requirements for invoking privilege under the Court's local rules. Local rule 26.1.G very specifically requires the preparation of a privilege log with respect to all documents and oral communications (among other things) that are withheld on the basis of privilege. Epstein has failed to prepare such a log, making it impossible for Jane Doe to effectively challenge his generic assertions. The Local Rules do not permit this tactic, and Epstein should be (at a minimum) promptly required to produce a privilege log. + +For all these reasons, the Court should compel Epstein to answer the interrogatories or provide a particularized justification for his Fifth Amendment invocation with regard to each request. + +It should be noted that the only two grounds on which Epstein can refuse to answer the interrogatories are either proof of a valid Fifth Amendment privilege or proof + +of a valid overbreadth objection. These are the only two objections Epstein has asserted. As a result, any other objections to production are deemed waived. See Local Rule 26.1G.3.(a) ("Any ground [for an objection] not stated in an objection within the time provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or any extensions thereof, shall be waived."). + +# SPECIFIC INTERROGATORIES + +For the convenience of the court — and in compliance with Local Rule 26.1 H (party filing motion to compel shall list specific requests in succession) — Jane Doe's interrogatories are as follows: + +- 1. What is the full name and Florida address of the person answering these interrogatories, and, if applicable, the person's official position or relationship with the party to whom the interrogatories are directed? + +[Note: This is the only interrogatory Epstein answered in any way.] + +- 2. Describe financial assets that are under your control, directly or indirectly, including interests in corporations or other business entities. + +Defendant is asserting specific legal objections to the interrogatories as well as his U.S. constitutional privileges. I intend to respond to all relevant questions regarding this lawsuit, however, my attorneys have counseled me that I cannot provide answers to any questions relevant to this lawsuit and I must accept this advice or risk losing my Sixth Amendment right to effective representation.

The parties having agreed and the Court having carefully considered the motion and being otherwise fully advised in the premises. + +It is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiffs' Motion (DE # 114) is GRANTED as follows: + +A.1 Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, and such employees and agents (currently under his control) and his attorneys are directed to take every reasonable step to preserve any evidence, resulting from the October 25, 2005 search of his home as set forth in this Court's order (DE #151-2; DE #20 in Case 9:08 -CV-80804-KAM) previously entered. + +A.2 Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, and such employees and agents (currently under his control) and his attorneys are directed to take every reasonable step to preserve any evidence relevant to these cases that have been filed in federal court or that may lead to the discovery of admissible evidence relevant to these cases which includes, documents, data, and tangible things, including, writings; records; files; correspondence; digital or chemical process photographs (including negatives); reports; memoranda; calendars; diaries; minutes; electronic messages; voicemail; email; telephone message records or logs; computer and network activity logs; hard drives; backup data; removable computer storage media, such as tapes, disks, and cards; printouts; document image files; web pages; databases; spreadsheets; software; books; ledgers; journals; orders; invoices; bills; vouchers; checks; statements; worksheets; summaries; compilations; computations; charts; diagrams; graphic presentations; drawings; films; charts; video, phonographic, tape, or digital recordings or transcripts thereof; drafts; jottings; and notes. Information that serves to identify, locate, or link such material, such as file inventories, file folders, and indices, is also included. Specifically, Defendant must preserve the following evidence as defined herein: records of phone communications; records of domestic and international travel, including travel in Defendant's private airplanes; former and current employee records; tax returns; any document evidencing payment by Defendant of U.S. currency and/or merchandise to each person on the list provided by the United States Attorney's Office ("USAO list"); any evidence stored in Defendant's storage unit; all photographs of the interior and exterior of Defendant's Palm Beach residence as it appeared in 1998 through October 2005; any diary, log, memo pad, calendar, or other writing which reflected the date that each person on the USAO list visited Defendant's residence; any diary or document wherein each person on the USAO list wrote regarding any visit(s) to Defendant's residence; all documents sent by the Palm Beach Police Department ("PBPD"), the FBI, the USAO, or the Palm Beach State Attorney's Office ("PBSAO") to the defendant; and all computers used by Defendant and/or such agents and employees (currently under his control) to the extent the computers have evidence relating to these cases. The time period for the preservation of evidence shall be 1998 - 2002 as it relates to Jane Doe 102; and 2002 through October 25, 2005 as it relates to other persons on the USAO list. + +B. "Evidence" is defined as any document or information that is in the possession, custody or control of the defendant as of the date of this order and that is relevant to these cases or that may lead to the discovery of evidence relevant to these cases. The duty to preserve evidence extends to documents, data, and tangible things in the possession, custody, and/or control of Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, and such employees or agents (currently under his control) or attorneys who possess materials reasonably anticipated to be subject to discovery in these actions. Counsel for the Defendant shall be directly responsible only to the extent they are in possession or control of evidence. Counsel shall provide a copy of this Order to the Defendant and to those employees or agents whom defense counsel knows or has reason to believe may have evidence. + +C. "Preservation" is to be interpreted broadly to accomplish the goal of maintaining the integrity of all documents, data, and tangible things reasonably anticipated to be subject to discovery in these actions under Rules 26, 45, and 56(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. + +D. If an objection or privilege is raised, the parties may raise the issue with this Court in a timely fashion and shall preserve the evidence in question pending resolution by the Court. An agreement to preserve evidence and this Order is not a waiver of any existing or future right to object to production or any constitutional or evidentiary basis. + +E. The parties, without leave of Court, may agree in writing that certain documents or categories of evidence need not be preserved as otherwise required by this Order. If such agreement is reached, such agreement is effective upon signing and without further order of this Court. + +F. If this Court determines that evidence has been wrongfully destroyed or lost in violation of this Order, it may impose appropriate sanctions based upon motion and an evidentiary hearing, if necessary. + +G. Each party shall bear its own costs for complying with this Order. + +DONE AND ORDERED inill at West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida, this of , 2009. + +> KENNETH A.

Life Care Plans & Testimony + +## DECLARATION OF GILBERT KLIMAN, M. D. + +June 4, 2009 + +## RE: EXPECTATION OF HARM FROM DISCLOSING THE PLAINTIFFS' IDENTITIES IN DOES V JEFFREY EPSTEIN + +- 1. I, Gilbert W. Kliman, M.D., of 2105 Divisadero Street, San Francisco, California, CA. Physicians License G55912, declare the following under penalty of perjury: +- 2. I have been retained by plaintiffs' law firm, Mermelstein & Horowitz, to give expert testimony. If called as a witness, I would testify truthfully and competently concerning my psychiatric findings about each of the plaintiffs' alleged experiences of sexual abuse, and the enduring effects that I find each of the young women have suffered as a direct result of the sexual acts perpetrated by the defendant. +- 3. I have been asked to respond to the Defense motion, which requests that some of the plaintiffs, who are now adults, should be publicly named. It is my opinion that involuntary public disclosure will result in the plaintiffs experiencing revictimization, albeit by a justice system that is designed to protect them. If their identities are released, the victims will be at-risk of having their personal lives scrutinized by friends, extended family, spouses, children, fellow students, employers and fellow employees, the media and general public. This type of exposure humiliates many victims and represents another betrayal of trust. Public exposure places the plaintiffs at further risk of stigmatization, shame and retraumatization. +- 4. Due to traumatization the plaintiffs are arrested in their development, and even those who are now legally adults are arrested in part to adolescent aspects of psychology. +- 5. The plaintiffs do not hold their heads high with pride for having been sexually controlled by Mr. Epstein. They hold their heads low with shame. The internal life of a typical adolescent, into late adolescence and early adult years in the best of circumstances, usually involves generous proportions of self-consciousness, shame, selfabsorption and self-doubt and self-blame about sexual acts. + +![](_page_0_Picture_12.jpeg) + +6. Clinically harmful levels of shame, self-consciousness, self-doubt and self-blame are even more prominent among victims of molestations than among the general population. + +7. Molested teenagers are particularly vulnerable to wrongful manipulations and special clinical harms from the experiences of shame and humiliation. In fact, shame and efforts to cope with it played an underlying role in the harm to each plaintiff. Each was lured into Mr. Epstein's sexual lair with the promise of overcoming bodily and sexual shame by earning money and bettering their lot in life. The defendant capitalized on their sexual naiveté, insecurities and effort to better themselves, and he worked hard to overcome their shame at his enlistment of them in his selfish gratifications. + +8. The defendant who wishes to make their identities public is one whom the criminal justice system has already determined is a person who has already committed a crime of child molestation. That surely means he has already exploited and manipulated the girls' state of adolescent sexuality, including their embarrassment, awkwardness and bodily self-consciousness. He perverted their nascent and developing moral structures by posing as a generous, avuncular mentor who could coach them about their bodies, sex and love. + +The exploitation of adolescent bodies, sex and love is – from a psychoanalytic point of view – an influence on the developing moral conscience of the children, as well as on their sexual urges. Now the ravaging of their internal and private moral conscience is intended by the perpetrator to be made a public ravaging. + +9. Among sexual trauma victims, the insidious and destructive persistence of shame, humiliation and associated self-blame is well-documented (Finkelhor and [REDACTED], 1985). Stigmatization, as experienced by a sexual trauma victim, has especially painful and pathologic consequences. Shame lingers and becomes integrated within the adolescent victim's malleable emerging identity, character structure and self image. Moral clarity is distorted. Perceptions of self-blame and guilt are magnified. The impact of shame lends to cultivating a self image of being "spoiled goods." + +10. Stigmatization following sexual trauma results in long-term risks that can negatively shape multiple facets of adult development: sexual, emotional, interpersonal and vocational. Stigmatization, which is generally to be avoided among psychiatric patients, increases risks among those – as in our plaintiffs as a group – who experience clinical depression and self-destructive behaviors: drug use, criminal activity, even prostitution. + +Stigmatization following abuse is associated with delinquency due to increased anger and affiliation with deviant peers (Feiring et al., 2007). + +11. Shame and guilt are important dimensions of both complex and single event, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms of shame are associated with feelings of helplessness and powerlessness, which each of the plaintiffs endorsed experiencing in relation to Mr. Epstein. + +12. The DSM-IV-TR recognizes both powerlessness and helplessness as requisite parts of the traumatic experience in Criterion A for the diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder trauma ( Seligman, recent Past President of the American Psychological Association, coined relevant terms of "learned helplessness and "Loss of Personal Locus of Control." See Seligman, M.P. 1975: Helplessness, Depression, Development and Death. W. H. Freeman, San Francisco). The teenaged girls suffered the loss of personal locus of control to a much more experienced, sexually aggressive, powerful and dominant, manipulative perpetrator. + +13. Releasing names of the plaintiffs to the public will reenact experiences of powerlessness and helplessness in the face of a boundary violation. Repetition and reenactment represent central features of Criterion B in the DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder trauma. In effect, release of their identity and public intrusion into their personal life represents a reenactment of the shame of sexual traumatization. Repetition and reenactment are central pathologies that afflict sexual trauma survivors. + +14. Victims of sexual abuse often rely upon some form of dissociation, splitting or denial, as a defensive means to manage overwhelming affects associated with the sexual trauma. Each of the plaintiff girls has employed some variation of this defense, both during the massages and then subsequently following disclosure of the abuse. Primitive, maladaptive responses of this nature will become additionally reinforced as a result of public disclosure. + +15. Another aspect of the plaintiffs' experience, which is recognized by DSM-IV-TR, is that the trauma was associated with human design factors (such as cruel intention to do harm, rape, torture). Trauma of this origin has a tendency to produce more "severe or long lasting" posttraumatic stress disorder than natural events (DSM IV TR p. 464). A policy of deliberate revelation of the names of the victims would reinforce the sense of design, pattern and policy of human intentions. + +16. Negative expectations about significant activities are noted in DSM-IV-TR, as part of Criterion C. Symptoms of foreshortened future are characteristic of a traumatized individual's clinical course (C4). They expect revictimization. They expect bad outcomes (C7) in their social, educational, vocational, relational plans. They arc hypervigilant (Criterion D4) for further trauma, and this affects lifestyle choices and future planning. Hypervigilance is part of the arousal set of criteria. Public disclosure of the victims' identity will aggravate existing symptoms of hypervigilance. + +17. The DSM-IV-TR diagnostic category of "chronic" is justified for each of the plaintiffs. Scientific literature shows that the prognostic consequences of PTSD and residual effects may last for decades (U.S. Dept. of Health, 2005; Issues in Child Abuse Prevention Number 9 Autumn] 998: Long-term Effects of Child Sexual Abuse, Paul E Mullen and Jillian Fleming). The lasting impact upon character, identity and moral development will probably affect long-term influences upon adult development. It is more probable than not that stigmatization associated with public disclosure of the + +plaintiffs' identities will intensify the scope, nature and severity of the chronic symptom course. + +18. In addition to PTSD, shame and humiliation themselves have also been associated with causing clinical depression. Coexisting PTSD and clinical depression places the plaintiff's at increased risk for re-victimization and high risk sexual behaviors (e.g., sexually transmitted disease, premature pregnancy, rape) (Nelson, 2002), and at greater risk to victimize others (Filipas and Ullman, 2006; Desai, Centers for Disease Control, 2002) who are in their control. Studies have also shown that chronic symptoms of PTSD, in association with a single episode of Major Depressive Disorder, can produce lifetime adjustment difficulties, which include suicidality (Oquendo et al, 2005; Dube et al, CDC, 2001; Rohde, J. Am. Acad. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry 2005). The plaintiffs will be additionally vulnerable to these clinical outcomes, if they suffer the stigmatization and humiliation associated with public disclosure of their identities. + +19. Alternative hypothesis: I have applied the evidence shown from examination and testing of the plaintiffs and relevant observations and information from other professionals while testing an alternative hypothesis: that no harm would result from public disclosure of the plaintiffs' identities. During the evaluations with the six plaintiffs, I used generally acceptable criteria for establishing whether a DSM-IV-TR disorder occurred. I established that there were provable and diagnosable injuries, primarily posttraumatic stress disorder and comorbid depression. Based upon these diagnostic signs, it is more probable than not, that exposing the plaintiff's identity to the public is not a trivial concern or one without substantial clinical repercussions. I believe that most child, adolescent and adult psychiatrists would share the opinion that additional psychiatric injury will result from such exposure. + +20. However, consider for the sake of argument, that my diagnostic conclusions are incorrect, notwithstanding having fulfilled standard psychiatric evaluation procedures of taking a history from multiple sources, videotaping and transcribing my initial interview, and reviewing available medical and legal documents. Even if this was the case, and my diagnostic conclusions were faulty, I believe that multiple experts, even those who may now propose publication of the victims' names, would still come to a conclusion that the plaintiffs suffered sexual abuse, and in some cases, multiple acts of ongoing abuse, at the hands of Jeffery Epstein. Even without developing a subsequent disorder, there is much clinical evidence and scientific literature showing likelihood of substantial psychiatric harm to these sexually abused plaintiffs. + +21. To form these conclusions, I have used my extensive experience in forming these opinions. That experience is both as a treating child psychiatrist and separately as a forensic psychiatrist. I have treated hundreds of minor patients, as well as additionally evaluated hundreds of children and adolescents who have suffered sexual abuse. I have made long term followups of many of the children and have treated many adults who have been molested as adolescents. It is my opinion, with a reasonably high degree of medical certainty that the defense motion to allow public disclosure of the plaintiffs' identities is clinically and ethically a wrongful plan.

Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 are proceeding with a Jane Doe pseudonym as this case involves facts of the utmost intimacy and there is a genuine risk of psychological harm if their identities are disclosed. See Exhibit "A" (Declaration of Gilbert Kliman, M.D.) (See also DE 144, Jane Does' 2-7 Response to Defendant's Motion to Compel Identity, et al.). + +2. Despite the obvious need for Plaintiffs to have their identities protected, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein has employed investigators who have made repeated contacts with exboyfriends, former employers, and others who know nothing of the underlying facts of the case. These investigators have contacted such nonparties asking them for extensive personal information about a Plaintiff, such as names and contact information of former boyfriends and other friends and acquaintances in the Plaintiff's community. + +3. The Defendant's repeated contacts with these nonparties is harassing and designed to intimidate the Plaintiffs. The purpose and intent of these contacts is to brand the Plaintiffs as alleged sexual abuse victims to their families, friends and communities. + +4. A Motion is pending in which this Court is being asked to determine whether and how Defendant may obtain discovery from nonparties. (DE 91, 144). Defendant's investigative efforts improperly circumvent the issues in the pending Motion, and only serve to highlight the need for this Court to implement appropriate protective measures to prevent Defendant from harassing, intimidating, and intruding unnecessarily into the personal lives of the Plaintiffs. + +5. While it is not unusual for a defendant to use appropriate means to obtain records from former employers and others referenced in a plaintiff's discovery responses, it is not customary for a defendant to retain private investigators to make personal contact with these individuals. Indeed, this practice is particularly inappropriate in a sexual abuse case where these nonparties are unaware of the underlying abuse. Plaintiffs have a well-grounded fear that the investigators will use the opportunity of their contacts with these nonparties to "out" the Plaintiffs' as alleged childhood sexual abuse victims of Jeffrey Epstein. (See Kliman Decl., Exh. "A" hereto). + +6. As an example of the investigators' intimidation tactics, three of Defendant's investigators recently called the former employer of Jane Doe 4 on repeated occasions over a two-day period, asking personal questions about her, including the name and telephone number of her ex-boyfriend. See Exhibit "B", Declaration of Jane Doe 4. + +7. Similarly, one of Defendant's investigators contacted the former employer of Jane Doe 6. See Exhibit "C", Declaration of Jane Doe 6. + +8. Them is no basis for Defendant or his multiple investigators to make repeated personal contacts with former employers and ex-boyfriends to ask personal questions about a Plaintiff. It is apparent that these contacts are not designed to obtain relevant information, but rather are intended to intimidate the Plaintiffs and to reveal that they are childhood sexual abuse victims. + +9. Accordingly, Plaintiffs request the entry of a protective order that would prevent Defendant, his attorneys and investigators from making ex pane contacts concerning this litigation with nonparties who have no knowledge that a Plaintiff was a childhood sexual abuse victim of Jeffrey Epstein. + +10. This Court has discretion to enter a protective order designed to protect a party from, among other things, annoyance or embarrassment. Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(c). As set forth above, given the investigators' conduct, a protective order is appropriate to prevent unnecessary intrusion into the Plaintiffs' personal lives and divulgation of Plaintiffs in their communities as childhood sexual abuse victims. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7, respectfully request that this Court grant Plaintiffs' Motion for Protective Order, as follows: (i) order Defendant, his attorneys and investigators to cease making ex pane contacts with nonparties identified in plaintiffs' discovery + +responses, such as, for example, former employers; (ii) order Defendant, his attorneys and investigators to cease making ex parte contacts with nonparties found during the course of discovery or investigation who know the Plaintiff or live in her community, such as, for example, current and former boyfriends and family friends of the Plaintiffs; (iii) order Defendant, his attorneys and investigators to cease making ex parte contacts with nonparties who otherwise know one of the Plaintiffs personally but who are unaware that she is an alleged victim of childhood sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein; and (iv) grant all such other relief this Court deems just and appropriate. + +# CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL RULE 7.1.A.3 + +Undersigned counsel has conferred with Defendant's counsel in a good faith effort to resolve the issues raised in this motion, and has been unable to do so, as Defendant's counsel has advised that Defendant opposes this motion. + +Dated: July 29, 2009 Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Adam D.

OF LAW + +Third Party Witness, Igor Zinoview's, ("Mr. Zinoview") by and through his undersigned attorney, moves this Court pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c) for a protective order regarding his deposition and as grounds therefore would state: + +1. As reflected on the affidavit of Igor Zinoview, attached as Exhibit A, he works for Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein ("Mr. Epstein') as a driver and bodyguard. He did not know Mr. Epstein before November of 2005. He first became employed by Mr. Epstein in November of 2005. + +2. Additionally, Mr. Zinoview would testify as set forth on his affidavit, that at no time has he discussed with Mr. Epstein any issues involving Mr. Epstein's criminal case nor any of the cases or issues involved with civil plaintiffs. + +3. In many of the depositions, counsel for L.M. and E.W., has asked them as witnesses to assume certain facts about which they have no knowledge, and he then asks their opinions about certain facts. See Exhibit B -Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions. + +4. There is no information which Mr. Zinoview has relating to the facts and circumstances surrounding any of the pending civil cases, in that none of their allegations directed to Mr. Epstein extend beyond September of 2005. Therefore whatever information Mr. Zinoview may have, postdates that time. + +5. Regarding the scope of discovery, Judge Linnea noted in her October 28, 2009 Omnibus Order (DE #377), "[w]hile the scope of discovery is broad, it is not without limits. Washington v. & Williamson Tobacco 959 F.2d 1566, 1570 (11th Cir. 1992). ... Courts have long held that `[w]hile the standard of relevancy [in discovery] is a liberal one, it is not so liberal as to allow a party to roam in the shadow zones of relevancy and to explore matter (sic) which does not presently appear germane on the theory that it might conceivably become so.' Food Lion Inc. v. United Food & Commercial Workers Intern. Union, 103 F.3d 1007, 1012-13 (CA. D.C. 1997) (string cite omitted)." + +6. Rule 26(c), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, provides that, "[a] party or any person from whomn discovery is sought may move for a protective order in the court where the action is pending.... The court may, for good cause, issue an order to protect a party or person from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense, including one or more of the following: (A) forbidding the disclosure or discovery;" + +7. As set forth in his affidavit, Mr. Zinoview cannot possibly have any knowledge or information that is presently germane to this action. Accordingly, the Court should enter a protective order prohibiting his deposition. + +WHEREFORE, third-party witness moves this court for a protective order pursuant to Rule 26(c), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, that his deposition not take place or the questioning be limited. + +> By: JACK ALAN GOLDBERGER ESQ.

At numerous depositions, Plaintiffs counsel has repeatedly asked argumentative and harassing questions that are irrelevant and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. + +2. In particular, Plaintiffs counsel has asked questions that improperly sought to illicit lay opinions from fact witnesses, asked questions regarding witnesses' feelings towards Mr. Epstein and their beliefs regarding media reports of this case, asked whether they would leave their children with Mr. Epstein and asked whether they would go back to work for Mr. Epstein assuming the media reports were accurate, among other things. These questions and the responses thereto will never be admissible. They are argumentative, irrelevant and seek speculative answers and inadmissible lay opinions. + +EXHIBIT + +LM v. Epstein Case No. 502008CA028051XXXXMBAB Epsteln's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions Page 2 of 9 + +3. For example, in the deposition of Larry Visoski, one of Mr. Epstein's pilots, Plaintiffs counsel asked the following questions seeking to obtain Mr. Visoski's beliefs and opinions on Plaintiffs allegations: + +> Q. All right. When you read in the newspapers the allegations that Mr. Epstein was involved with numerous underage girls for sexual reasons, were you surprised? + +A. I didn't believe it. + +Q. Do you believe it today? + +A. I don't believe it. + +Q. You don't believe that Jeffrey Epstein was involved with underage girls in a sexual way? + +MR. CRITT0N: Form. + +THE WITNESS: You're asking for my opinion, and I don't think my opinion is relevant in that matter. + +BY MR. + +Q. I think it's relevant. Can you just tell me whether today you believe that Jeffrey Epstein has engaged in sex with underage girls? + +MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation, irrelevant, always. + +THE WITNESS: It's irrelevant. + +BY MR. + +Q. I need an answer. + +A. I don't believe he had sex with underage women. + +Q. Or engaged in any sexual acts with underage women? + +MR. CRITTON: Form. + +1,M v. Epstein, Case No. 502008CA028051XXXXMBAB Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions Page 3 of 9 + +THE WITNESS: No. + +BY MR. + +Q. You think that this is just a story that a bunch of underage women have made up? + +A. Speculation. + +\* \* \* + +Q. Then we'll handle the question this way: If you were to believe based on information and evidence that Mr. Epstein engaged in sex or some form of sex acts with people of the age range of 12, 13, 14, 15 years old, would you continue your employment with Mr. Epstein? + +MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation. + +THE WITNESS: I would certainly be speculating and I have to discuss it with my wife long and hard. I don't think I could give you a correct and honest answer at this time. + +See Excerpts of Deposition of Larry Visokski at 66-67; 181-82 (attached as composite Exhibit A). Other examples of similar improper questions are included in Exhibit A. + +4. Not only do these questions seek improper lay opinions, Plaintiffs counsel asked Mr. Visoski his belief as to the truth of hearsay newspaper articles. The foregoing questions are obviously Irrelevant, argumentative and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. + +5. Moreover, whether Mr. Visoski would continue working for Mr. Epstein if Plaintiff's allegations are true has absolutely no relevance to any claim or defense in this case. The questions are simply improper and meant to harass and embarrass the M v Fnstein + +Case No. 50200BCA028051XXXXMBAB + +Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions + +Page 4 of 9 + +witness. + +6. Mr. Visoski was questioned for over four hours and much of the time was wasted on irrelevant and harassing questions. + +7. Plaintiffs counsel asked similar questions at the deposition of Larry Eugene another one of Mr. Epstein's pilots: + +> Q. Certainly you've read certain newspaper articles about the allegations, police reports, otherwise, the allegations that occurred or have been alleged to have occurred at his Palm Beach mansion, correct? + +A. Uh-huh. + +Q. Correct? + +A. Correct. + +Q. Given the nature of those allegations, would you leave your daughter of 17, 16, 15 years old with Mr. Epstein alone? + +MR. PIKE: Form. Move to strike. + +A. Yes. + +• \* • • + +Q. And despite pleading guilty to procuring underage girls for the purposes of sex, you still feel comfortable leaving a 13, 14, 15-year-old girl around him? + +MR. PIKE: Form. Move to strike. + +A. Yes. I mean, with my daughter, yes. I don't know how he behaves around anybody else. I just know that the respect that he showed me, I feel safe with my daughter. + +Q. And have you read in detail the reports as to what happened at his house with the girls? + +isv. Eostelq + +Case No. 502008CA028051XXXXMBAB + +Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions + +Page 5 of 9 + +A. Only — + +MR. PIKE: Form. + +A. — what's been in the newspapers and published. + +Q. If you read and hear testimony given - well, I can tell you now - testimony has been given in this case that what happens is: A 13 or 14 year old is led upstairs by herself, told to get naked, he lays down on his back, there is a brief massage before he turns over, exposes himself erect, masturbates while he tells this 13 or 14 year old to pinch his nipples as hard as she can while he inserts his fingers into their vagina and ejaculates all over them before saying, "Take your money and leave." + +MR. PIKE: Form. Move to strike. + +BY MR. + +Q. Okay? Then, "You can continue to come back for \$200 every time or every girl you bring me within your age group and I get to do this again, I pay you \$200 per person." If that is the testimony -- + +MR. PIKE: Form. + +Q. — that what happens behind closed doors with him, do you still feel comfortable leaving a13 or 14 year old in a room with Jeffrey Epstein? + +MR. PIKE: Form. + +A. If that, in fact, is what actually happened, no. + +Q. [Would you] go back - considering what you've read and what you may or may not believe - would you go back to working for Jeffrey Epstein? + +MR. PIKE: Form. + +A. I can't say. I still work for him on a maintenance - to + +La v. Epstein + +Case No. 502008CA028051XXXXMBAB + +Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions + +Page 6 of 9 + +maintain the airplanes and stuff like that, so. + +See Excerpts of Deposition of Larry Eugene at 135-36; 175-76; 184 (attached as composite Exhibit B). + +8. Again, whether Mr. would work for Mr. Epstein "considering what [he has] read and what [he] may or may not believe" (i.e. considering hearsay media accounts and inadmissible lay opinion) has no bearing on the instant case. + +9. In addition, questions regarding whether Mr. would leave his children alone with Mr. Epstein could have only been meant to harass and embarrass Mr. Ma Nevertheless, Mr. testified that he would leave his children with Mr. Epstein. As Plaintiffs counsel was obviously not happy with the answer to this question, he proceeded to press Mr. with inflammatory statements until he got the answer he wanted. + +10. Plaintiffs counsel has also asked the same improper line of questions in other witnesses' depositions. + +11. The above-cited questions exceed the bounds of permissible discovery; they have absolutely no relevance to this case. Accordingly, the Court should enter a protective order prohibiting such questions and should sanction Plaintiffs counsel if such inappropriate questions are asked at future depositions. + +12. Regarding the scope of discovery, Judge Linnea noted in her October 28, 2009 Omnibus Order,' u[w]hile the scope of discovery is broad, it is not + +1 The Omnibus Order (DE #377) was entered in the federal companion case Jane Doe No. 2 v, Epstein Case No. 08-CIV-80119 MARR4 ! in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida. + +LM v. Epstein Case No. 502008CAD28051X=MBAB Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions Page 7 of 9 + +without limits. Washington v. a& Williamson Tobacco 959F.2d 1566, 1570 (11th Cir. 1992). ... Courts have long held that '[w]hile the standard of relevancy [in discovery] is a liberal one, it is not so liberal as to allow a party to roam in the shadow zones of relevancy and to explore matter (sic) which does not presently appear germane on the theory that it might conceivably become so.' Food Lion. Inc. Y. United Food & Commercial Workers Intern. Union, 103F.3d 1007, 1012-13 (C.A. D.C. 1997) (string cite omitted)." See also Capco Properties, LLC v. Monterry Gardens of Pinecrest Condo. 982So. 2d 1211, (Fla. 3d DCA 2008) (holding that discovery in civil cases must be relevant to the subject matter of the case and must be admissible or reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence) Morton Plant Hospital Ass'n, Inc. v. Shahbas, 960So. 2d 820, 824 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007) (holding that "discovery should be denied when it has been established that the information requested is neither relevant to any pending claim or defense nor will it lead to the discovery of admissible evidence," citing Tanchel v. Shoemaker, 928So. 2d 440, 442 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006)). + +13. As illustrated above, the questions are simply not germane to any pending claim or defense nor will they lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Whether Mr. Visoski believes or disbelieves the media accounts of this case, or whether Mr. would leave his children with Mr. Epstein is not relevant and cannot conceivably lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. + +14. The Court should curtail these inappropriate lines of questions and enter a protective order prohibiting them. + +15. Rule 1.280(c), Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, provides the Court with + +LM v. Epstein Case No. 502008CA028051XX)0MBAB Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit inappropriate Deposition Questions Page 8 of 9 + +the power to "make any order to protect a party or person from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression or undue burden or expense that justice requires including ... (4) that certain matter not be inquired into, or that the scope of the discovery be limited to certain matters." + +16. Accordingly, Epstein requests the Court enter a protective order prohibiting Plaintiffs counsel from asking witnesses' questions regarding opinions and beliefs regarding media articles and the allegations in this case and whether they would leave their children with Epstein or questions of a similar nature, and limiting the scope to the witnesses personal knowledge regarding matters relevant to the claims and defenses in this case. See Shahbas, 960 So. 2d at 824. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, respectfully requests the Court enter a protective order prohibiting Plaintiffs counsel from asking witnesses' questions regarding opinions and beliefs regarding media articles and the allegations in this case and whether they would leave their children with Epstein or questions of a similar nature, and limiting the scope to the witnesses personal knowledge regarding matters relevant to the claims and defenses in this case and grant any additional relief the Court deems just and proper. + +#### Certificate of Service + +IHEREBY CERTIFY that a true copy of the foregoing was sent by fax and U.S. Mail to the following addressees on this 3rd day of November, 2009: + +Brad Esq.

the record about -- well, we'll do it this way --
6 MR. REINHART: Do it at the end, after we get
him -- whatever you want. It's your show.
7 MR. [REDACTED]: Okay. There were -- I don't
even think Mr. Willits is aware of this. There was
a subpoena duces tecum for this witness, as well as
the previous witness, which was another pilot, Dave
Rogers, and that duces tecum was to bring the
flight logs related from 1998 through 2005. What
was produced at the previous deposition were flight
logs from 2002 through 2005, and now Mr. Reinhart
has agreed to produce the remainder of the flight
logs requested, those going from 1998 through 2002.
8 MR. REINHART: Correct. They're pilot logs,
not flight logs. There are other records we
indicated are corporate records, and with those you
have to deal with Mr. Critton.

You think that this Is Just a story that a 6 bunch of underage women have made up? + +7 A. Speculation. • + +8 MR. CRITTON: Objection. Now it's + +9 argumentative.

CRITTON: Form. + +23 THE. WITNESS: What I believe doesn't matter in + +24 this ease, does it? + +25 + +66 + +1 Q. All r'ight. When you read in the newspapers 2 the allegations that Ms. Epstein was involved with 3 numerous underage girls for sexual reasons, were you 4 surprised? + +5 A. I didn't believe it. + +6 Q. Do you believe it today? + +7 A. I don't believe it. + +8 Q. You don't believe that Jeffrey Epstein was 9 involved with underage girls in a sexual way? + +10 MR. CRITTON: Form. + +11 THE WITNESS: You're asking for my opinion, 12 and I don't think my opinion is relevant In that 13 matter. + +14 BY MR. + +15 Q. I think It's relevant Can you just tell me 16 whether today you believe that Jeffrey Epstein has + +1? engaged in sex with underage girls? + +18 MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation, Irrelevant, 19 always. + +20 THE WITNESS: It's Irrelevant. + +21 BY MR. + +22 Q. I need an answer. + +23 A. I don't believe he had sex with underage + +24 women. + +25 0. Or engaged in any sexual acts with underage + +68 + +1 BY MR.MMIS: + +2 Q. I need an answer. Do you believe it? Do you 3 believe these girls made this up? + +4 MR. CRITTON: Form. + +S MR. REINHART: I'm going to Instruct him not 6 to answer. Move on. + +7 MR.-: Is there a privilege that we're 8 asserting? + +9 MR. REINHART: No, It's irrelevant. It's 10 harassment and not likely to lead to discoverable 11 evidence. + +12 Ma' . I'm going to-put on the record + +13 right now that it is — we are allowed discovery 14 into a RICO count. We are also allowed discovery + +15 Into the intent of Mr. Epstein In developing a 16 criminal enterprise designed to sexually exploit + +17 and sexually abuse underage girls. We beHave that 18 In doing so, he associated Intentionally with + +19 people of similar beliefs that sex with underage + +20 girls is okay, and that there have been many 21 discussions with this witness, as well as many + +22 other witnesses with -- to insure his protection 23 from law enforcement that they not answer these + +24 specific questions. And thus, the opinions and + +25 bolters of all of these witnesses that we are + +alleging associated with this criminal enterprise are certainly reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. And If you're still Instructing the witness, based on that proffer, not to answer any of these questions, yin going to continue to ask the questions and you can instruct him not to answer and we can go to the B Court. MR. REINHART: My response is to his opinion whether people making allegations in this case are colluding or making up astory is irrelevant to what you just said. So I am going to instruct him not to answer any question that goes to his opinion of someone else's motivation or the truth of facts to which he has no knowledge. So yes, I'm instructing him not to answer, MR. CRITTON: Let me add in my part, Is that I think — you're certainly not only capable to ask questions with regard to what his personal knowledge is, and if he knows something or he has reasonable basis for it; certainly you are entitled to that information. I think yotve asked those questions and he's given you straightforward answers as to what he knew or what he didn't know under those circumstances. And as to what his + + a 0. le an opinion. and I believe that he has not. O. Okay. Isn't It true that at some point In lime you learned that Jeffrey Epstein hes — strike that. MR. CRITTON: When you &0melet/ get to a good place to break, will you let us know? MR.-: Let's break now. (A break was had at 11:28 a.m.) BY MR. MEM: Q. PR right. Eighteen years of being a pilot for Jeffrey Epstein and In terms of being able to name somebody that you would say you've observed with Jeffrey Epstein and would classify that person as Jeffrey Epstein's friend, can you name anybody? A. Nadia. Sarah: Just people that we see routinely on the airplane. O. That's people you see routinely in the last live to ten years, right? A Yes. Q. Prior to that time, anybody that youVe noticed as Jeffrey Epstein's friend may be Ghistaine Maxwell? A. What time frame? O. Is that a person that at some point In time + +thoughts are on something which he has no factual basis or even an assumption to know one way or another is irrelevant. That's ultimately for a fact-finder in this case. SWhile its interesting, it's argumentative and I don't think he's —1 mean, do It on a question-by-question basis. If he has knowledge, that's great, but to argue your case with this witness or any other witness doesn't serve a purpose and I think Is, you know — I think Ws not a good use of our time, I'll put d that way. But you know, you can go ahead and ask. MR. I can ask the question and if the witness is being Instructed not to answer, we'll let a Judge decide whether he needs to answer the question and whether it's discoverable or not. MR. REINHART: Absolutely. Make your record. BY MR. a O. Do you have any reason to believe that Jeffrey Epstein engaged In sexual activity with underage women? A. I have no reason to believe. O. Okay. So es you sit here today, based on your 18 years of knowledge, experience and observation of Jeffrey Epstein, is a your belef that he has not had sex or engaged in sexual attruity with underage women? + +you world classify as Jeffrey Epstein's friend? A. I would classify il. I don't know If His true. O. But Mars only because they were on the airplane together? A. Yes. O. Do you know what Jeffrey Epstein does for a Wig In you 18 years of observing and tacking with Jeffrey Epstein? A. No. O. No idea? A. No. O. Ever asked Nm? A. No, actually. O. Ever been curious? A. Sure. O. Ever:done anything to satisfy that curiosity? A. If you mean Google It, not really, actually. I mean. I really have not. Q. Okay. So in 18 years of traveling and being the plot and driving — and taking this person. Jeffrey Epstein, from one property In New York to New Mexico and Florida and around the world, you have no Idea what he does in terms of how he makes money? A. Noah . + +wpr laren...ssw• - + + .3 f. + +MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: No. + +BY MR. + +O. If you had been aware that Mr. Epstein was and by this — this Is more In the form of a hypothetical, and that I'm not going.to suggest to you It's a fact that he was. But If you had been aware that every single day Jeffrey Epstein's goal was to locate underage girls (or the purposes of sex, and either have sex with them on the airplane or at some other designation that you were destination that you were traveling him to, would you have continued to pilot those planes? + +AT MR. CRITTON: Form. + +THE WITNESS: You said It was hypothetical? + +BY MR. O. Illill&pothellical. A. Why would I want to answer that? Because you're being hypothetical. Imoan, It would obviously ;3 be wrong. + +:4 Q. Sure. Well, a hypothetical question la a IS legal question that I'm allowed to ask. + +1 A. Okay. 0. And I'm Just asking you if you did have knowledge that Jeffrey Epstein was having sex with little girls either on the plane or al a place that you were taking him to or from on adaily basis, that's what he did, would you have continued to be his Not? MR. CRITTON: Lel me object. Object to the oform. its argumentative. it has no more value than assuming he was chopping up bodies or anybody was chopping up bodies in the plane you're frying. What difereme does it make? Form. MR. What difference does II make In a case about him having sex with Rae girls? I'm not going to argue with you about it. Votive staled your objection. MR. CRITTON: Exactly. It's an argumentative question. MR. NM I'm not going to argue with you about it. MR. CRITTON: You're arguing with him about now. MR No, I'm asking him the hypothetical. BY MR. 0. Can you answer that? Would you have continuer + +to be a pilot for somebody who's traveling to and from destinations with the goal of having sex with underage girls? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: It could be any person. It doesn't have to be Jeffrey Epstein, then, right? BY MR. MIMI O. True. A. No, I wouldn't pilot an airplane if there was wrongdoing going on. Q. That you knew about? A. That I knew you about, sure. Q. Me reading this complaint to you, is this the first time you've heard these allegations — A. Yes. Q. — against Mr. Epstein? A. Yes. + +, + +which he pled guilty le — MR. CRITTON; Form. MR. REINHART: Can we for purposes of your ohypothetical, Whet facts do you want Km to assume are true? You said the facts to which he pled guilty, but the witness already said he doesn't know what he pled guilty to. He knows the charge he doesn't know the facts. BY MR. Q. So9cllatlon of prostitution of a minor, somebody under the age of 18. MR. That's the charge, right. solicitation of prostitution of a rnkior? MR. CRITTON: No. I think you've got it wrong. Ill object to the form. MR. Okey. 1/ BY MR. CL Then wait handle the question tNs war If you were to believe based on information and evidence that Mr. Epstein engaged in sex or some roam of sex act with people of the age range of 12, 13, 14,15 years old, would you continue your employment with Mc. Epstein? MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation. THE WITNESS: I would certainly be speculating + +182' + +and I have to discuss it with my wife long and • hard. I don't think I could give you a correct and honest answer at this time. BY MR. O. O1., the agegations that have been made in this case, Is Ills something that you have discussed with anyone other than your attorney? A. No, not really. Only from the fact that theyre allegations and there's stil a lot more work, I'm sure, to be discovered. MR. CRITTON: Let me put on there, for the -- If this deposition li not typed — and we request it — I'd like at least this portion where Mr. last question back about five pages worth. SO Just it you could mark it from this page back about five pages. II nobody requests the deposition, rd just like those five pages. MR. I'm going to request the deposition, so... MR. CRITTON: Okay.

REPLY TO ROTHSTEIN ROSENFELDT ADLER'S P.A.'S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S EMERGENCY MOTION FOR ORDER FOR THE PRESERVATION OF EVIDENCE IDE 4051 SAS TO JANE DOE v. EPSTEIN CASE NO.: 08-CIV- 80893) + +Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein"), by and through his undersigned attorneys, hereby files his Reply to Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler P.A.'s ("RRA") Response to Defendant's Emergency Motion for Order for the Preservation of Evidence [DE 405], and states: + +1. It now appears that the Honorable Herbert Stettin ("Mr. Stettin") is the sole individual, as the Chief Restructuring Officer, in charge of RRA assets, including electronic and paper records. There also appears to be no objection to the entry of the preservation order consistent with his fiduciary/trustee duties for RRA, although certain documents may no longer exist within his possession. + +2. Par. 4 of the response reflects that some 40 plus boxes of documents were obtained by the Department of Justice from search warrants served on the offices of RRA; "it is believed that the Department of Justice also sequestered about (13) boxes of documents related to this [Epstein] case." In fact there are three Epstein cases which have been brought by the RRA firm, one being in federal court, two in state court. Mr. Stettin confirms Defendant's belief that there are serious ethical and potentially criminal issues that may impact Plaintiffs' ability to pursue their cases. + +3. Unfortunately, time is critical with regard to this case in that there are deadlines to Disclose Experts and Exchange Reports by October 29, 2009 (but Plaintiff has not seen her expert, has no report and only made herself available for the Defendant's exam on November 13, 2009), deposition discovery deadline is November 28, 2009 and a calendar call of February 19, 2010 for the February 22, 2010 trial docket. While the undersigned understands that Mr. Stettin may be working expeditiously to deal with critical and pressing needs of stabilizing the firm, a delay of 45 days for his deposition (which has been set in the state court case in the 15th Judicial Circuit Court, Palm Beach County, State of Florida, L.M. v. Epstein, Case No. 502008CA028051XXXXMB AB, not the case subludice) will place his deposition sometime during the first 15 days of January, after every pre-trial deadline has expired. + +4. If in fact there has been inappropriate and/or illegal conduct associated with the prosecution of this case by RRA or any of its attorneys or by the Plaintff herself, which might result in sanctions, dismissal or other remedy, Defendant Epstein will be severely prejudiced. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant Epstein request that the court's preservation order be made permanent, which does not seem inconsistent with Mr. Stettin's position as expressed by his lawyers but deny the relief sought for delaying the deposition unless the court is disposed to modify the current scheduling deadlines and trial date that exist in this case. + +By: Robert D. ritton, Jr. .

Third party witness, Igor Zinoview, seeks to have this Court enter an order preventing his deposition from going forward at all, or, in the alternative, limiting the scope of permissible questioning during same. Mr. Zinoview's deposition is presently scheduled to be taken on December 18, 2009. +- 2. Mr. Zinoview has been employed by Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, as his "driver, bodyguard, and trainer" since November of 2005. See Affidavit of Igor Zinoview + +(D.E. 402) dated November 9, 2009. Mr. Zinoview argues that his deposition should not go forward as scheduled because Defendant Epstein has never discussed nor attempted to discuss with him "any facts or information related to any legal matters in which he [Jeffrey Epstein] is involved." Id. From Mr. Zinoview's vague assertion springs the bold yet erroneous argument that "Mr. Zinoview cannot possibly have any knowledge or information that is presently germane to this action." + +3. It should initially be noted that a "complete prohibition of a deposition is an extraordinary measure which should be resorted to only in rare occasions." Jennings v. Family Management, 201 F.R.D. 272 (D.D.C. 2001); See also, Salter v. Upjohn Co., 593 F.2d 649, 651 (59) Circ. 1979)(It is very unusual for trial court to prohibit the taking of a deposition altogether, and absent extraordinary circumstances, such order would likely be in error.)• Inv. Properties Intern., Ltd. v. IOS, Ltd., 459 F.2d. 705, 708 (2d Circ. 1972)("an order to vacate a notice of taking deposition is generally regarded as both unusual and unfavorable . . . "). Neither Mr. Zinoview's conclusory affidavit nor his Motion provide anything even approaching the "extraordinary circumstances" necessary to justify the entry of order precluding his deposition from going forward at all. + +4. Additionally, Mr. Zinoview's vague assertion that he and Defendant Epstein have never discussed any facts or information related to any legal matters that Mr. Epstein is involved in does not give rise to requisite "extraordinary circumstances" either. Detweiler Bros, Inc. v John Graham and Company, 412 F.Supp. 416 (E.D. Wash, 1976)(Plaintiff could not properly seek to prohibit defendant from deposing plaintiff's employee via a protective order on grounds that employee had no knowledge of matters at issue.) See also 8 Fed. Prac. & Proc. Civ. §2037, and "A witness ordinarily cannot escape examination by denying knowledge of any relevant facts, since the party seeking to take the deposition is entitled to test the witness's lack of knowledge.") + +5. The undersigned, as well as counsel for all of the other victims of Jeffrey Epstein, are entitled to question and challenge Mr. Zinoview on his purported lack of knowledge. Mr. Zinoview and plaintiffs' counsel very well might have a difference of opinion on what constitutes "facts and information related to any legal matters" in which Defendant Epstein is involved. The victims of Jeffrey Epstein ought not to be forced to accept Mr. Zinoview's opinion as to what constitutes "facts and information related to any legal matters" involving Jeffrey Epstein. Instead, plaintiffs should be able to explore these relevant matters directly with Mr. Zinoview, rather than being forced to rely on his twenty seven (27) word claim of lacking any knowledge. + +6. Additionally, Mr. Zinoview worked for Defendant Epstein during portions of the Palm Beach Police Department's months' long investigation which spanned from March 15, 2005 through February 2006 into the illegal sexual contact committed by Defendant Epstein against these minor plaintiffs. Accordingly, Mr. Zinoview certainly might have direct knowledge about what was going on in and around the Epstein residence during the time period in which he was employed by Defendant Epstein as his "driver, bodyguard, and trainer" while his employer was being investigated by law enforcement. Given the Defendant's voracious invocation of his Fifth Amendment privilege, the plaintiffs have consistently been denied the opportunity to seek any relevant information directly from Defendant Epstein himself. Rather, plaintiffs have been forced to build their cases against Mr. Epstein by other discovery methods, including deposing his employees who may have relevant information. + +7. Third party witness Igor Zinoview has failed to meet his very high burden of establishing "extraordinary circumstances." Mr. Zinoview has failed to demonstrate the "good cause" required by Rule 26(c) to protect a person from "annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense" to overcome the liberal scope of permissible discovery. The above proposed lines of inquiry of Mr. Zinoview are certainly reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Accordingly, to the extent that it seeks to preclude his deposition from going forward at all, Mr. Zinoview's Motion should be denied + +8. Next, Mr. Zinoview also seeks to prevent questions being posed to him wherein he is first asked to "assume certain facts about which he has no knowledge," and then be asked about his "opinions about certain facts." First, it remains to be seen exactly what facts about which Mr. Zinoview has no knowledge. Second, Mr. Zinoview's opinions and beliefs about the factual matters surrounding plaintiffs' claims are relevant to exploring any potential bias and prejudice in favor of his employer and against Defendant Epstein's victims. For example, if Mr. Zinoview believes that these plaintiffs are simply inventing their claims against his employer that they were sexually victimized by Defendant Epstein while they were minor children, it very well might impact his impartiality as a witness. Third, the undersigned has no present intention of engaging in this line of questioning unless the proverbial "door" has been opened by Mr. Zinoview first. Lastly, counsel for Mr. Zinoview is certainly free to invoke the privileges afforded to him by the applicable procedural rules should he feel that his client is being asked inappropriate questions during the deposition. + +9. In conclusion and for the reasons cited above, Mr. Zinoview's Motion For Protective Order should be denied in its entirety. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, respectfully requests that this Court deny Third Party Igor Zinoview's Motion For Protective Order. + +Respectfully submitted, + +/s/Jack P ■ + +**JACK SCAROLA** + +**Florida Bar No. 169440** + +**JACK P.** + +**Florida Bar No.: 0547808** + +**Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley, P.A.** + +**2139 Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard** + +**West Palm Beach, Florida 33409** + +**Phone: (561) 686-6300** + +**Fax: (561) 383-9456** + +**Attorneys for Plaintiff** + +## CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE + +I HEREBY CERTIFY that on November 281h, 2009, I electronically filed the foregoing document with the Clerk of Court using CM/ECF.

The issuing court must enforce this duty and impose an appropriate sanction — which may include lost earnings and reasonable attorney's fees — on a party or attorney who fails to comply. + +**(2) Command to Produce Materials or Permit Inspection.****(A) Appearance Not Required.** A person commanded to produce documents, electronically stored information, or tangible things, or to permit the inspection of premises, need not appear in person at the place of production or inspection unless also commanded to appear for a deposition, hearing, or trial. + +**(B) Objections.** A person commanded to produce documents or tangible things or to permit inspection may serve on the party or attorney designated in the subpoena a written objection to inspecting, copying, testing or sampling any or all of the materials or to inspecting the premises — or to producing electronically stored information in the form or forms requested. The objection must be served before the earlier of the time specified for compliance or 14 days after the subpoena is served. If an objection is made, the following rules apply: + +(i) At any time, on notice to the commanded person, the serving party may move the issuing court for an order compelling production or inspection. + +(ii) These acts may be required only as directed in the order, and the order must protect a person who is neither a party nor a party's officer from significant expense resulting from compliance. + +**(3) Quashing or Modifying a Subpoena.****(A) When Required.** On timely motion, the issuing court must quash or modify a subpoena that: + +- (i) fails to allow a reasonable time to comply; +- (ii) requires a person who is neither a party nor a party's officer to travel more than 100 miles from where that person resides, is employed, or regularly transacts business in person — except that, subject to Rule 45(c)(3)(B)(iii), the person may be commanded to attend a trial by traveling from any such place within the state where the trial is held; +- (iii) requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter, if no exception or waiver applies; or +- (iv) subjects a person to undue burden. + +**(B) When Permitted.** To protect a person subject to or affected by a subpoena, the issuing court may, on motion, quash or modify the subpoena if it requires: + +- (i) disclosing a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information; +- (ii) disclosing an unretained expert's opinion or information that does not describe specific occurrences in dispute and results from the expert's study that was not requested by a party; or +- (iii) a person who is neither a party nor a party's officer to incur substantial expense to travel more than 100 miles to attend trial. + +**(C) Specifying Conditions as an Alternative.** In the circumstances described in Rule 45(c)(3)(B), the court may, instead of quashing or modifying a subpoena, order appearance or production under specified conditions if the serving party: + +- (i) shows a substantial need for the testimony or material that cannot be otherwise met without undue hardship; and +- (ii) ensures that the subpoenad person will be reasonably compensated. + +**(d) Duties in Responding to a Subpoena.****(1) Producing Documents or Electronically Stored Information.** These procedures apply to producing documents or electronically stored information: + +**(A) Documents.** A person responding to a subpoena to produce documents must produce them as they are kept in the ordinary course of business or must organize and label them to correspond to the categories in the demand. + +**(B) Form for Producing Electronically Stored Information Not Specified.** If a subpoena does not specify a form for producing electronically stored information, the person responding must produce it in a form or forms in which it is ordinarily maintained or in a reasonably usable form or forms. + +**(C) Electronically Stored Information Produced in Only One Form.** The person responding need not produce the same electronically stored information in more than one form. + +**(D) Inaccessible Electronically Stored Information.** The person responding need not provide discovery of electronically stored information from sources that the person identifies as not reasonably accessible because of undue burden or cost. On motion to compel discovery or for a protective order, the person responding must show that the information is not reasonably accessible because of undue burden or cost. If that showing is made, the court may nonetheless order discovery from such sources if the requesting party shows good cause, considering the limitations of Rule 26(b)(2)(C). The court may specify conditions for the discovery. + +**(2) Claiming Privilege or Protection.****(A) Information Withheld.** A person withholding subpoenad information under a claim that it is privileged or subject to protection as trial-preparation material must: + +- (i) expressly make the claim; and +- (ii) describe the nature of the withheld documents, communications, or tangible things in a manner that, without revealing information itself privileged or protected, will enable the parties to assess the claim. + +**(B) Information Produced.** If information produced in response to a subpoena is subject to a claim of privilege or of protection as trial-preparation material, the person making the claim may notify any party that received the information of the claim and the basis for it. After being notified, a party must promptly return, sequester, or destroy the specified information and any copies it has; must not use or disclose the information until the claim is resolved; must take reasonable steps to retrieve the information if the party disclosed it before being notified; and may promptly present the information to the court under seal for a determination of the claim. The person who produced the information must preserve the information until the claim is resolved. + +**(e) Contempt.** The issuing court may hold in contempt a person who, having been served, fails without adequate excuse to obey the subpoena. A nonparty's failure to obey must be excused if the subpoena purports to require the nonparty to attend or produce at a place outside the limits of Rule 45(c)(3)(A)(ii). \ No newline at end of file

NON-PARTY, JEAN LUC BRUHNEL'S RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF JANE DOE'S MOTION FOR AN ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND FOR SIQR COMPEL AND INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM F JAW + +Non-party Jean Luc Bruhnel hereby files his Response to Plaintiff, Jane Doe's Motion for an Order to Show Cause and for an Order to Compel and Incorporated Memorandum of Law which was filed on March 10, 2010. (DE#483). Plaintiffs counsel seeks to compel M r. Bruhnel, a citizen who is not a party to the instant action, to sit for a deposition that was canceled and for which he has never been re-noticed. This motion is premature at best, and frivolous. + +While visiting New York, Mr. Bruhnel was served with a Subpoena and Notice of Videotape Deposition in this matter.' As a courtesy, undersigned counsel for Mr. Bruhnel + +' Please see Exhibit A, annexed hereto and incorporated by reference. + +agreed to produce Mr. Bruhnel for deposition in Florida on November 3, 2010 for the convenience of the parties because Mr. Bruhnel had plans to travel to Florida at that time. The videotape deposition was accordingly canceled. Two new deposition notices were then e-mailed to counsel for Bruhnel, both of which emanated from related cases in Florida Circuit Court, with no additional notice emanating from the instant matter before this Court. 2 That scheduled deposition was then canceled by agreement of the parties, who mutually agreed that plaintiff's counsel's secretary would call counsel for Mr. Bruhnel to reset the deposition. + +Neither plaintiff's counsel nor his secretary called to reschedule the deposition until January, 2010. In the intervening time, all depositions in the myriad related matters had been canceled, upon information and belief, due to the scandal involving plaintiff's counsel's previous law partner. Further, Mr. Bruhnel had left the United States with no firm plan to return, which was conveyed to plaintiff's counsel during a telephone conversation in January. + +Mr. Bruhnel's counsel attempted to secure firm dates on which Mr. Bruhnel would be traveling to the United States, but was unable to do so. Undersigned counsel accordingly informed planitiff's counsel that she could not secure any firm dates. When plaintiff's counsel insisted that Mr. Bruhnel provide deposition dates, plaintiff's counsel was informed that Mr. Bruhnel could not be compelled to return to the United States. Undersigned counsel told plaintiff's counsel that there were appropriate mechanisms through which he could secure Mr. + +2 Please see Exhibit B, annexed hereto and incorporated by reference. + +Bruhnel's testimony abroad pursuant to Florida, Federal and International law. Indeed, undersigned counsel directed plaintiff's counsel to the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure and the Hague Convention, each of which provide specific mechanisms for the securing of testimony abroad. + +Plaintiff's counsel has never served Mr. Bruhnel or undersigned counsel with a re-notice for deposition since the cancellation of the prior scheduled depositions, and has never attempted to avail himself of proper legal procedures to secure M r. Bruhnel's testimony abroad. Further, contrary to plaintiff's counsel's Certification to this court, plaintiff's counsel never conferred with undersigned counsel for Mr. Bruhnel regarding the instant Order to Show Cause and for an Order to Compel. + +## MEMORANDUM OF LAW + +As stated above, the previously scheduled depositions were canceled by agreement of the parties herein and Mr. Bruhnel has never been re-noticed for deposition. The motion currently before the court is therefore premature and frivolous. Regardless, it is respectfully noted that the Court lacks authority to compel Mr. Bruhnel to return to the United States for deposition. Indeed, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure specifically decline to confer upon the Court the power to compel foreign nationals to appear before it. See Fed. Rules Civ.Proc. Rule 45. 28 USC 1783. + +The Florida Rules of Civil Procedure and the Hague Convention, however, have each + +adopted procedural rules to facilitate the deposition of a non-party foreign national. Indeed, The Uniform Foreign Depositions Act, as adopted by Florida in section 92.251 ("UFDL") provides a road map for litigants seeking to secure evidence from foreign non-party witnesses, stating + +(2) Whenever any mandate, writ or commission is issued out of any court of record in any other state, territory, district, or foreign jurisdiction, or whenever upon notice or agreement it is required to take the testimony of a witness or witnesses in this state, witnesses may be compelled to appear and testify in the same manner and by the same process and proceeding as may be employed for the purposes of taking testimony in proceedings pending in this state. + +§ 92.251 Florida statutes. + +Thus, whenever a Florida litigant desires to depose a witness residing in another state, that litigant must first secure the appointment of a commissioner from the court where the litigation originates. See Freedom Newsnaners, Inc.. 507 So.2d 1180 (Fla 2d DCA 1987), at 1183. The foreign litigant may then apply to the court having personal jurisdiction over the witness for the process necessary to secure the attendance of the witness. Id. (citing Travelers Indem. Co. v. •, 388 So.2d 648 (Fla. 5th DCA 1980)). See Greenlight Financial Services. Inc. v. Union America M orig.. Inc. 971 So.2d 983 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008). This may be done through mechanisms provided via The Hague Convention, to which France is a signatory. Given that several cases are currently pending in Florida Circuit Court that are related to the instant matter, plaintiff may avail herself of this mechanism to secure Mr. Bruhnel's testimony, but has chosen not to. Accordingly, there has been no malfeasance herein by Mr. Bruhnel or his counsel, only nonfeasance by plaintiffs counsel. + +Plaintiff's counsel has misrepresented to this court that he spoke to Mr. Bruhnel's counsel about this motion prior to filing it with the Court. Undersigned counsel for Mr. Bruhnel was never notified in any manner that any such motion was being prepared or filed. + +Plaintiff's counsel has further misrepresented to this Court that undersigned counsel for Mr. Bruhnel stated that Mr. Bruhnel, "has been out of this country since prior to the New Year with no plans to return." In fact, undersigned counsel has consistently told Plaintiff's counsel that she was unaware of M r. Bruhnel's travel schedule and that she did not know when Mr. Bruhnel planned to return to this country. + +WHEREFORE, JEAN LUC BRUHNEL, a non-party to the instant matter, and undersigned counsel for Mr. Bruhnel, respectfully request that the Court DENY plaintiffs Motion for an Order to Show Cause and an Order to Compel in its entirety. Mr. Bruhnel and undersigned counsel further respectfully request that the Court impose sanctions and attorney's fees incurred in the defense of Plaintiffs frivolous motion, and for whatever further relief this Court deems appropriate. + +Dated: March 12, 2010 + +Respectfully submitted, + +TAMA BETH KUDM AN, P.A.

Epstein's scheme involved the use of young girls to recruit underage girls. These underage girls were recruited ostensibly to give a wealthy man a massage for monetary compensation in his Palm Beach mansion. Epstein, upon information and belief, generally sought out economically disadvantaged underage girls from western Palm Beach County who would be enticed by the money being offered - generally \$200 to \$300 per "massage" session - and who were + +perceived as less likely to complain to authorities or have credibility if allegations of improper conduct were made. This was an important element of Epstein's plan. + +12. Epstein's plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method. The underage victim would be brought or directed to Epstein's mansion, where she would be led up a flight of stairs to a bedroom that contained a massage table in addition to other furnishings. The girl would then find herself alone in the room with Epstein, who would be wearing only a towel. He would then remove his towel and lie naked on the massage table, and direct the girl to remove her clothes. Epstein would then perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, including masturbation. + +13. Consistent with the foregoing plan and scheme, when Jane Doe was only 13 years old, she was recruited by another girl to give Epstein a massage for monetary compensation. Jane was brought to Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach. Once there, she was led up the flight of stairs to the room with the massage table. Epstein came into the room and directed Jane to remove her clothes and give him a massage. As directed by Epstein, Jane stripped to her underwear. Epstein then sexually assaulted Jane during the massage. In addition, Epstein masturbated during the massage. Epstein then paid Jane money. + +14. As a result of this encounter with Epstein, Jane experienced confusion, shame, humiliation and embarrassment, and has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries. + +### COUNT I Sexual Assault and Battery + +15.

Plaintiff Jane Doe repeats and realleges paragraphs 1 through 14 above. + +28. Epstein used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce or entice Jane Doe, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense. + +29. On June 30, 2008, Epstein entered a plea of guilty to violations of Florida §§ 796.07 and 796.03, in the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County (Case nos. 2008-cf-00938 1 AXXXMB and 2006-cf-009454AXXXMB), for conduct involving the same plan and scheme as alleged herein. + +30.

Okay. When, when she drops you off at the 23 house or when -- + +24 A. She gets dropped off. + +25 Q. I'm sorry, right. When E.W. gets dropped + +1 A. She told me to tell him I was older in the car 2 on the way there. + +3 Q. Okay. But at, at your place -- + +4 A. No. + +5 Q. -- as you're changing clothes and putting 6 on makeup, she just said you need to look older? + +7 A. Yes. + +8 Q. And did you say why do I have to look 9 older? + +10 A.

She said I need to look older. She didn't 17 say, say specifically who or + +18 Q. Well, the record is going to reflect but 19 you remember now that she said you just need to look 20 older? + +21 A. Yes. + +22 Q. Okay. So, you changed clothes. You put 23 on makeup and what happened next? + +24 A. She -- we left and went to the front of the 25 neighborhood and she called a cab. + +1 Q. You went to the front of the neighborhood? + +2 A. Yes. + +3 Q. And do you remember anyone being in your 4 house with you? + +5 A. I don't remember. + +6 Q. Okay. Do you remember why you went to the 7 front of the neighborhood as distinct from just 8 having a cab come to your, to your home? + +9 A. Because I live next to the office and 10 everybody would know if I was getting picked up by a 11 cab. + +12 Q. So what? Why didn't you want anybody to 13 know that you were getting picked up by a cab? + +14 A. Because I'm 13 getting into a cab. I mean + +15 Q. Okay. And you knew that, you knew back 16 when you were 13 getting in, picked up by a cab in 17 front of your house was a problem? + +18 A. Yeah. + +19 Q. And it would create everybody asking a lot 20 of questions? + +21 A. Yeah. + +22 Q. So, if you knew that getting in a cab was 23 a problem and maybe something you shouldn't have 24 done, why were you getting into a cab willing to go 25 in a cab with E.W. to go give someone a massage or + +1 A. No, I didn't say that. + +2 Q. You could have though? + +3 A. I could have. + +4 MR. HOROWITZ: Form. + +5 BY MR. CRITTON: + +6 Q. And so you voluntarily, at least at Jane 7 Doe's house, on the phone with E.W., and getting 8 ready after E.W. came to your house and now getting 9 in the cab, four different times and you had the 10 opportunity to say, I'm not interested, true? + +11 A. True. + +12 Q. And each time you said, okay, I will go; 13 that is you made a voluntary and consensual decision 14 to go with E.W.? + +15 A. Yes. + +16 Q. So, now you're riding over in the cab. 17 And did E.W. at some point tell you where you're 18 going? + +19 A. I don't remember. + +20 Q. Did she tell the cab driver where to go? + +21 A. I guess. She had to have. + +22 Q. But did you hear her say it? + +23 A. I don't remember. + +24 Q. How long was the cab ride? + +25 A. Like 20 minutes, 25 minutes. I don't know. + +1 Q. And where did you, where did the cab 2 ultimately go? + +3 A. Some house over the bridge. + +4 Q. Had you been to Palm Beach before? + +5 A. Not before then, no. + +6 Q. Other than this one occasion have you been 7 back to Palm Beach? + +8 A. Yes. + +9 Q. For what purpose? + +10 A. My husband does, he used to do drywall. My 11 boyfriend used to do drywall and his jobs that used to 12 be on Palm Beach Island. + +13 Q. Okay. Where, where was it, on the north 14 end, the middle? + +15 A. I don't really remember. + +16 Q. Okay. Did you ever go back near or show 17 him where Mr. Epstein's house was at any time? + +18 A. No. I don't even remember where it's at. + +19 Q. When you -- so, during the 20-minute car 20 ride or cab ride that you took to Mr. Epstein's 21 house -- well, you didn't know it was Mr. Epstein -- 22 to where you were going. + +23 Let me start again. During the 20-minute 24 cab ride that you had from Tavares Cove, the front 25 of Travares Cove to where E.W was taking you, did + +[ you talk to her? + +2 3 A. She told me I had to say I was older and that's about it. I really -- I didn't talk. + +4 Q. Okay. + +5 A. I don't remember. + +6 Q. Did she tell you how old you had to say + +7 you were? + +8 A. No, she never told -- + +9 Q. Did she know how old you were? + +10 A. Huh? Did she know? + +11 Q. Did E.W. know how old you were? + +12 A. I don't know. She might have. + +13 14 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Sir, now would probably be a good time -- + +15 MR. CRITTON: All right. + +16 17 18 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: -- to change the tape. Going off the record at 4:01. This marks the end of Tape 2. + +19 (A brief recess was held.) + +20 21 22 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We're back on the record at 4:02 p.m. This marks the beginning of Tape 3. + +23 MR. HOROWITZ: Are you all right? + +24 25 THE WITNESS: Yeah, it sucks. I've got to stay up for another five hours, six hours. + +1 a massage was? + +2 A. I mean in movies, or I mean, anything that you 3 could see a spa, a massage is the same thing pretty 4 much. + +5 Q. Okay. Had you ever seen someone get a 6 massage other than in a movie? + +7 A. No, I've never seen front-to-front, 8 face-to-face massage, no. + +9 Q. Have you ever seen -- meaning -- okay. 10 All you had seen is someone rubbing someone's back 11 in the movies? + +12 A. Yes. + +13 Q. You've seen them rubbing people's legs, 14 and -- + +15 A. No. + +16 Q. -- their buttocks and their thighs and 17 stuff like that? + +18 A. No. + +19 Q. All right. + +20 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Excuse me, you're 21 covering up the microphone. + +22 THE WITNESS: II, I'm sorry. + +23 BY MR. CRITTON: + +24 Q. Did you ask E.W. during the 20-minute cab 25 ride what the massage was going to consist of? + +1 A. No. + +2 Q. Okay. When she told you it was a man, did 3 you ask his age? + +4 A. No. + +5 Q. Did you ask who was going to be present? + +6 A. No. + +7 Q. Did you ask whether she was going to be 8 present? + +9 A. No. I just assumed she was. + +10 Q. Okay. Why did you assume she was? + +11 A.

When E.W. told you that it was, tell him + +1 you're older and it was a man, did you then ask any 2 questions and say, wait a minute, who is the person, 3 what's his age, what do I have to do, where are we 4 going? + +5 A. No. + +6 Q. Who will be there? + +7 A. No, I didn't ask any questions. + +8 Q.

I don't want to get involved? + +21 A. I don't remember what I was thinking, no. + +22 Q. Well, you, you could, you realized at any 23 point until basically you started giving a massage, 24 you could have said, sorry, this isn't for me, I 25 want to go home, right? + +1 THE WITNESS: I was scared out of my mind 2 once I left, so, no, I didn't ask her anything. + +3 BY MR.

Plaintiff JANE DOE NO. 6's Amended Complaint [D.E. 18], dated February 27, 2009, attempts to assert three causes of action. Count I and Count II, respectively, attempt to allege state law claims under Florida law for "Sexual Assault and Battery," and "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress." Count III, which is the subject of this motion, is entitled "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra + +Page 3 + +§2422," and attempts to assert a claim pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255. (Plaintiff JANE DOE NO. 6 shall be referred to as "JD6" or "Jane" or "Jane Doe." Plaintiffs Amended Complaint shall be referred to as "Am Comp," and is attached hereto as Exhibit A.). + +2. According to the allegations - "In or about 2004, Jane Doe, then approximately 13 years old, fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims." [Am Comp, 19]. Plaintiff had one encounter with Epstein. (Id). Plaintiff further alleges that — + +..., when Jane Doe was approximately 13 years old, she was recruited by another girl to give Epstein a massage for monetary compensation. Jane was brought to Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach. Once there, she was led up the flight of stairs to the room with the massage table. Epstein came into the room and directed Jane to remove her clothes and give him a massage. As directed by Epstein, Jane stripped to her underwear. Epstein then sexually assaulted Jane during the massage. In addition, Epstein masturbated during the massage. Epstein then paid Jane money. [Am Comp, ¶13]. + +3. Material to this motion, in attempting to assert a claim in Count III pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255, Plaintiff alleges in material part that — + +- 28. Epstein used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce or entice Jane Doe, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense. +- 29. On June 30, 2008, Epstein entered a plea of guilty to violations of Florida §§796.07 and 796.03, in the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County (Case Nos. ...), for conduct involving the same plan or scheme as alleged herein. + - 30. As to Plaintiff Jane Doe, Epstein could have been charged with criminal violations of Florida Statute §796.07(2Xincluding subsections (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), and (h) thereof), and other criminal offenses including violations of Florida Statutes §§798.02 and 800.04 (including subsections (5), (6) and (7) thereof). + - 31. Epstein's acts and conduct are in violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422. + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 4 + +- 32. As a result of Epstein's violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422, Plaintiff has suffered personal injury, including mental, psychological and emotional damages. + +4. In the "WHEREFORE" clause of Count III, Plaintiff "demands judgment against Jeffery Epstein for all damages available under 18 U.S.C. §2255(a), ." See Am Comp, Count III, Exhibit A hereto. + +5. In trying to assert a violation of the federal criminal statute 18 U.S.C. 2422 as the requisite predicate act for a claim pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255(a)1, Plaintiff generally tracks the language of subsection (b) of 18 U.S.C. 2422 (eff. Apr. 30, 2003), which states in relevant part — + +(b) Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States 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 not less than 5 years and not more than 30 years. + +See endnote 2 for complete text of statute. + +(See endnote 1 hereto for full text of 18 U.S.C. §2255, the version that applied in 2004, and the amended version effective July 27, 2006.) + +6. Epstein never, using a facility or means of interstate commerce, knowingly persuaded, induced or enticed JD6, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempted to do so. (Deposition Testimony of JD6, taken February 17, 2010, See pages referenced below herein). A copy of the referenced deposition pages is attached hereto as Exhibit B. See endnote 2 for full text of 18 U.S.C. §2422.2 + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 5 + +7. JD6 testified that she went to EPSTEIN's Palm Beach mansion one time on August 8, 2004. (JD6 Deposition, p. 82, lines 14-23). (She remembers this date because it was her friend Melissa's birthday. Id, p. 250, lines 21-25). + +8. Regarding how the one encounter came about, JD6 testified that she knew Jane Doe (a Plaintiff in another case filed against Epstein) through a mutual friend, "Melissa." (Id, pp. 230-31). During the relevant time period, JD6 "got along with Jane Doe" and considered her a friend. (Id, pp. 239-40). According to JD6, Jane Doe is older than JD6 by 2 or 3 years so Jane Doe was 16 or 17 when JD6 was 14. (Id, p. 244). + +9. JD6 further testified that through "casual conversation" she heard "something about her (Jane Doe) going somewhere to make money." (Id, p. 244-45). JD6 overheard another girl (and Plaintiff in another case filed against Epstein), E.W., and Jane Doe talking about it. (Id, p. 245). "She (E.W.) asked me if I wanted to make some money doing a massage." (p. 248). JD6 "told her yeah." (p. 249, lines 1-2). E.W. told JD6 that she would make \$200 and that she would call JD6 before they were going to go. (p. 249, lines 14-25, p. 250, lines, 1-2). E.W. did not say anything other than that JD6 would make \$200 giving a massage and that she would call JD6 the night before. (p. 250, lines 13-17). JD6 and E.W. were at Jane Doe's house when E.W. first asked her. (p. 251). E.W. didn't tell JD6 anything about the massage and what to expect and JD6 did not ask. (Id, p. 252-53). + +10. According to JD6, she gave E.W. her home number and E.W. called her. (Id, p. 254, lines 3-12). E.W. "asked me if I want to go and that she would be at my house the next morning. She was going to get dropped off and that's it. ... she asked for me. I got on the phone. She was like, hey, this is E.W., are you still up for that and I was like, + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 6 + +yeah." (Id, p. 256, lines 1-16). JD6 did not ask E.W. where they were going or whom would be given the massage. (p. 256, lines 17-24). During the phone call, nothing else was discussed or communicated between E.W. and JD6 other than being paid to give a massage to someone. (Id, pp. 256-58.) + +II. E.W. was dropped off at JD6's home the next morning by someone unknown. (JD6 Deposition, p. 259, lines 13-24). E.W. told JD6 to change her clothes to look older. JD6 did not ask why. (Id, p. 264). E.W. called a cab to pick them up at the front of JD6's neighborhood. (Id, p. 265). The 20 minute cab ride took them to "some house over the bridge." (Id, p. 269, lines 24-25, p. 270, lines 1-3). During the ride, E.W. told JD6 "to say I was older and that was about it. I (JD6) really, I didn't talk." (Id, p. 271, lines 1-3). Again, no details other than it was going to be a massage were discussed during the cab ride. (Id, p. 273, p. 274, lines 24-25, p. 275, 276). JD6's understanding of what a massage was — "rubbing someone's back." (Id, p. 273, lines 23-24). + +12. E.W. and JD6 were dropped off at Epstein's Palm Beach mansion. E.W. "just walked in" the house. (JD6 Deposition, p. 280). After the one time encounter with Epstein, JD6 and E.W. walked from Epstein's Palm Beach home to CityPlace in West Palm Beach. (Id, p. 308, lines 10-25). Eventually, JD6 and E.W., after learning that their friend, Melissa, had been in a car accident that same day, got on a bus at CityPlace and went to Melissa's house. (Id, p. 309). + +13. There is no testimony or pleading allegations that JD6 ever had any communications with EPSTEIN via the telephone, cell-phone, computer, e-mails, or texting. (JD6 Deposition, p. 302, lines 1-12). There is no testimony or complaint allegations that JD6 ever traveled anywhere with EPSTEIN. See Exhibit B hereto. + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 7 + +14. JD6's date of birth is September 3, 1990. (JD6 Deposition, p. 7, lines 6-8). The original Complaint [D.E. 1] in this matter was filed on September 11, 2008. Thus, JD6 was 18 years old at the time this suit was filed. + +### Summary Judgment Standard + +Summary judgment is proper under Rule 56(c)(2), Fed.R.Civ.P, when there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Celotex v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 2552, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986). Pursuant to Rule 56(b), "a party against whom relief is sought may move, with or without supporting affidavits, for summary judgment on all or part of the claim." + +As stated by the Supreme Court in Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322-323, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 2552 (1986) + +... summary judgment is proper "if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law." In our view, the plain language of Rule 56(c) mandates the entry of summary judgment, after adequate time for discovery and upon motion, against a party who fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to that party's case, and on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial. In such a situation, there can be "no genuine issue as to any material fact," since a complete failure of proof concerning an essential element of the nonmoving party's case necessarily renders all other facts immaterial. The moving party is "entitled to a judgment as a matter of law" because the nonmoving party has failed to make a sufficient showing on an essential element of her case with respect to which she has the burden of proof. + +## Discussion of Law as Applied to Undisputed Material Facts Showing that EPSTEIN Is Entitled to Sunman, Judgment as a Matter of Law. + +I. The version of 18 U.S.C. &225S in effect at the time the purported conduct took place applies to the Plaintiff's 42255 claim against EPSTEIN, not the version as amended and effective July 27,2006. + +The applicable version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 provides — + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 8 + +### PART I--CRIMES + +#### CHAPTER 110--SEXUAL EXPLOITATION AND OTHER ABUSE OF CHILDREN § 2255.

The referenced statutes are all federal criminal statues contained in Title 18 of the United States Code. Thus, in order to sustain a cause of action under §2255, a plaintiff is required to prove all the elements of one of the statutory enumerated criminal predicate acts. See Gray v. Darby, 2009 WL 805435 (E.D. Pa. Mar. 25, 2005), requiring evidence to establish predicate act under 18 U.S.C. §2255 to state cause of action. + +I. A. The statute in effect during the time the alleged conduct occurred applies to each of the Plaintiff's claim brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255 — not the amended version which became effective on July 27, 2006. See endnote 1 for complete statutory text in effect prior to July 27, 2006 and as amended. + +Plaintiff in her complaint asserts that the alleged conduct by EPSTEIN occurred + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 9 + +prior to the amended version of §2255 taking effect. JD6 alleges `in or about 2004, Jane Doe, then approximately 13 years old," as the period of time during which the conduct at issue occurred. Based on JD6's deposition testimony, she had one encounter with EPSTEIN on August 8, 2004. Thus, it is undisputed Epstein's conduct occurred prior to §2255's amendment, effective July 27, 2006. + +Under applicable law, the statute in effect at the time of the alleged conduct applies. See U.S. v. Scheidt, Slip Copy, 2010 WL 144837, fn. 1 (E.D.Cal. Jan. II, 2010); U.S. v. Reno, 2009 WL 2579103, fn. 1 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 19, 2009); U.S. v. Ferenci, 2009 WL 2579102, fn. I (E.D. Cal.

In each of these cases, the referenced footnote states — + +Prior to July 27, 2006, the last sentence in Section §2255(a) read "Any person as described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$50,000 in value." Under the civil statute, the minimum restitution amount for any violation of Section 2252 (the predicate act at issue) is \$150,000 for violations occurring after July 27, 2006 and \$50,000 for violations occurring prior to \$50,000. + +Even with the typo (the extra "\$50,000") at the end of the quoted sentence, it is clear that the Court applied the statute in effect at the time of the alleged criminal conduct constituting one of the statutorily enumerated predicate acts, which is consistent with applicable law discussed more fully below herein. + +It is an axiom of law that "retroactivity is not favored in the law."

I, §§ 9-10, prohibit legislatures from singling out disfavored persons and meeting out summary punishment for past conduct. See, e.g., *United States v.

Quoting from the "Background and Need For Legislation" portion of the House Report No. 105-557, 11-16, H.R. 3494, of which 18 U.S.C. §2255 is included, is described as "the most comprehensive package of new crimes and increased penalties ever developed in response to crimes against children, particularly assaults facilitated by computers."

Senatorial Comments in amending §2255 in 2006 confirm that the creation of the presumptive minimum damage amount is meant as an additional penalty against those who sexually exploit or abuse children. 2006 WL 2034118, 152 Cong. Rec. 58012- 02. Senator Kerry refers to the statutorily imposed damage amount as "penalties." Id. + +The cases of U.S. v. Siegel, supra (11th Cir. 1998), and U.S. v. M, supra (3d Cir. 1998), also support Defendant's position that application of the current version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 would be in clear violation of the Ex Post Facto Clause. In Siegel, the Eleventh Circuit found that the Ex Post Facto Clause barred application of the Mandatory Victim Restitution Act of 1996 (MVRA) to the defendant whose criminal conduct occurred before the effective date of the statute, 18 U.S.C. §3664(f)(1XA), even though the guilty plea and sentencing proceeding occurred after the effective date of the statute. On July 19, 1996, the defendant Siegel pleaded guilty to various charges under 18 U.S.C. §371 and §1956(a)(1)(A), (conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, and laundering of money instruments; and money laundering). He was sentenced on March 7, 1997. As part of his sentence, Siegel was ordered to pay \$1,207,000.00 in restitution under the MVRA which became effective on April 24, 1996. Pub.L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214, 1229-1236. The 1996 amendments to MVRA required that the district court must order restitution in the full amount of the victim's loss without consideration of the defendant's ability to pay. Prior to the enactment of the MVRA and under the former 18 U.S.C. §3664(a) of the Victim and Witness Protection Act of 1982 (VWPA), Pub.l. No. + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 14 + +97-291, 96 Stat. 1248, the court was required to consider, among other factors, the defendant's ability to pay in determining the amount of restitution. + +When the MVRA was enacted in 1996, Congress stated that the amendments to the VWPA "shall, to the extent constitutionally permissible, be effective for sentencing proceedings in cases in which the defendant is convicted on or after the date of enactment of this Act [Apr. 24, 1996]." Siegel,supra at 1258. The alleged crimes occurred between February, 1988 to May, 1990. The Court agreed with the defendant's position that 1996 MVRA "should not be applied in reviewing the validity of the court's restitution order because to do so would violate the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution. See U.S. Const. art 1, §9, cl. 3." + +The Ex Post Facto analysis made by the Eleventh Circuit in Siegel is applicable to this action. In resolving the issue in favor of the defendant, the Court first considered whether a restitution order is a punishment. Id, at 1259. In determining that restitution was a punishment, the Court noted that §3663A(a)(1) of Title 18 expressly describes restitution as a "penalty." In addition, the Court also noted that lajlthough not in the context of an ex post facto determination, ... restitution is a `criminal penalty meant to have strong deterrent and rehabilitative effect.' United States v. Twitty 107 F.3d 1482, 1493 n. 12 (11th Cir.1997)." Second, the Court considered "whether the imposition of restitution under the MVRA is an increased penalty as prohibited by the Ex Post Facto Clause." Id, at 1259. In determining that the application of the 1996 MVRA would indeed run afoul of the Constitution's Ex Post Facto Clause, the Court agreed with the + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 15 + +majority of the Circuits that restitution under the 1996 MVRA was an increased penalty.' "The effect of the MVRA can be detrimental to a defendant. Previously, after considering the defendant's financial condition, the court had the discretion to order restitution in an amount less than the loss sustained by the victim. Under the MVRA, however, the court must order restitution to each victim in the full amount." Id, at 1260. See also U.S. v. 162 F.2d 87 (3'd Circuit 1998). + +In the instant cases, in answering the first question, it is clear that that imposition of a minimum amount of damages, regardless of the amount of actual damages suffered by a minor victim, is meant to be a penalty or punishment. See statutory text and House Bill Reports, cited above herein, consistently referring to the presumptive minimum damages amount under §2255 as "punishment" or "penalties." According to the Ex Post Facto doctrine, although §2255 is labeled a "civil remedy," such label is not dispositive; "if the effect of the statute is to impose punishment that is criminal in nature, the ex post facto clause is implicated." See generally, Roman Catholic of Oakland v. Superior Court, 28 Cal.Rptr.3d 355, at 360, citing Kansas v. Hendricks, 521 U.S. 346, 360-61 (1997). The effect of applying the 2006 version of §2255 would be to triple the amount of the presumptive minimum damages to a minor who proves the elements of her §2255 claim. The fact that a plaintiff proceeding under §2255 has to prove a violation of a criminal statute and suffer personal injury to recover damages thereunder, further supports that the imposition of a minimum amount, regardless of a victim's actual + +The Eleventh Circuit, in holding that "the MVRA cannot be applied to a person whose criminal conduct occurred prior to April 24, 1996," was "persuaded by the majority of districts on this issue." "Restitution is a criminal penalty carrying with it characteristics of criminal punishment." Siegel, supra at 1260. The Eleventh Circuit is in agreement with the Second, Third, Eighth, Ninth, and D.C. Circuits. See U.S. v. Futrell 209 F.3d 1286, 1289-90 (11'" Cir. 2000). + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra + +Page 16 + +damages sustained, is meant and was enacted as additional punishment or penalty for violation of criminal sexual exploitation and abuse of minors. + +Accordingly, this Court is required to apply the statute in effect at the time of the alleged criminal acts. Not only is there no language in the 2006 statute stating that it is to apply retroactively, but further, such application of the 2006 version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 to acts that occurred prior to its effective date would have a detrimental and punitive effect on Defendant by tripling the presumptive minimum of damages available to a plaintiff, regardless of the actual damages suffered.2 + +I. C. As discussed above, 18 U.S.C. §2255 was enacted as part of the criminal statutory scheme to punish and penalize those who sexually exploit and abuse minors, and thus, the Ex Post Fact Clause prohibits a retroactive application of the 2006 amended version. Even if one were to argue that the statute is "civil" and the damages thereunder are "civil" in nature, under the analysis provided by the United States Supreme Court in Lanclizraf v. USI Film Products, 511 U.S. 244, 114 S.Ct. 1483 (1994), pertaining to civil statutes, not only is there no express intent by Congress to apply the new statute to past conduct, but also, the clear effect of retroactive application of the statute would be to increase the potential liability for past conduct from a minimum of \$50,000 to \$150,000, and thus in violation of the constitutional prohibitions against such application. As noted, 18 U.S.C. §2255 is entitled "Civil remedy for personal injuries." Notwithstanding this + +2 In other filed civil actions attempting to assert §2255 claims against EPSTEIN, some plaintiffs also propose that the minimum damage amount is to apply on a per violation basis; the absurdity of such position is further magnified when one considers that the presumptive damages amount was tripled to \$150,000 by the 2006 amendment. Based on some plaintiffs' position, that amount would be multiplied even further based on the number of violations (along with injury) that she could prove. Clearly, the result is an unconstitutional increase in either a penalty or civil liability. + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra + +Page 17 + +label, the statute was enacted as part of the criminal statutory scheme to punish those who sexually exploit and abuse minors. Regardless of the actual damages suffered or proven by a minor, as long as a minor proves violation of a specified statutory criminal act under §2255 and personal injury, the defendant is held liable for the statutory imposed minimum. + +Although there does not exist any definitive ruling of whether the damages awarded under §2255 are meant as criminal punishment or a civil damages award, Defendant is still entitled to a determination as a matter of law that the statute in effect at the time of the alleged criminal conduct applies. + +As explained by the Landgraf court, supra at 280, and at 1505,3 + +When a case implicates a federal statute enacted after the events in suit, the courts first task is to determine whether Congress has expressly prescribed the statute's proper reach. If Congress has done so, of course, there is no need to resort to judicial default rules. When, however, the statute contains no such express command, the court must determine whether the new statute would have retroactive effect, i.e., whether it would impair rights a party possessed when he acted, increase a party's liability for past conduct, or impose new duties with respect to transactions already completed. If the statute would operate retroactively, our traditional presumption teaches that it does not govern absent clear congressional intent favoring such a result. + +Here, there is no clear expression of intent regarding the 2006 Act's application to conduct occurring well before its enactment. Clearly, however, as discussed in part B herein, the presumptive minimum amount of damages of \$150,000 was enacted as a punishment or penalty upon those who sexually exploit and abuse minors. See discussion of House Bill Reports and Congressional background above herein. The amount triples + +3 In 1-andzrat the United States Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeals and refused to apply new provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 to conduct occurring before the effective date of the Act. The Court determined that statutory text in question, §IO2, was subject to the presumption against statutory retroactivity. + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 18 + +the previous amount for which a defendant might be found liable, regardless of the amount of actual damages a plaintiff has suffered and proven. The new statute imposes a substantial increase in the monetary liability for past conduct. + +As stated in Landgraf, "the extent of a party's liability, in the civil context as well as the criminal, is an important legal consequence that cannot be ignored." Courts have consistently refused to apply a statute which substantially increases a party's liability to conduct occurring before the statute's enactment. Landgraf, supra at 284-85. Even if plaintiff were to argue that retroactive application of the new statute "would vindicate its purpose more fully," even that consideration is not enough to rebut the presumption against retroactivity. Id, at 285-86. "The presumption against statutory retroactivity is founded upon sound considerations of general policy and practice, and accords with long held and widely shared expectations about the usual operation of legislation." Id. + +Accordingly, as a matter of law, this Court is required to apply the version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2004) in effect at the time of the alleged conduct by EPSTEIN directed to Plaintiff. + +#### H.

The referenced statutes are all federal criminal statues contained in Title 18 of the United States Code. In her complaint, Plaintiff partially tracks the language of 18 U.S.C. §2422(b) and cites generally to §2422 in an attempt to assert a claim under 18 U.S.C. §2255. (Am Com, ¶28, 31-32). None of the State of Florida criminal statutes referenced by Plaintiff are a requisite predicate act required to prove a claim under 18 U.S.C. §2255. (See ¶29-30 of Am Comp.). + +Thus, in order to sustain a cause of action under §2255, Plaintiff is required to prove all the elements of one of the statutory enumerated predicate acts. See Gray v. Darby, 2009 WL 805435 (E.D. Pa. Mar. 25, 2005), requiring evidence to establish predicate act under 18 U.S.C. §2255 to state cause of action. As noted above, Plaintiff is relying on §2422 of Title 18, and tracks the language of subsection (b) of that statute. There is no evidence whatsoever of EPSTEIN "using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States 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, ... . " + +In order to show a violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422(b), four elements must be proven: (1) use of a facility of interstate commerce; (2) to knowingly persuade, induce, entice, or + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 21 + +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. U.S. v. 410 F.3d 1235, 1245 (10th Cir. 2005); U.S. v. Munro, 394 F.3d 865, 869 (10th Cir. 2005); U.S. v. Kave, 451 F.Supp.2d 775, 782-83 (E.D. Va. 2006). The undisputed material facts show that EPSTEIN and JD6 never communicated at any time on any subject via the telephone, Internet, texting, e-mails, or other form of electronic communication. JD6 testified that she found out about getting \$200 for a massage through "casual conversation" from another girl. JD6 decided she want to earn \$200 for a massage and initiated the contact with E.W. after overhearing E.W. and Jane Doe talk about it. The only thing discussed with E.W. was the giving of a massage for \$200. No other type of activity or conduct was discussed. There was no communication by any means in which sexual activity or illicit sexual conduct was brought up with Epstein. There is no testimony or complaint allegations that JD6 travelled anywhere with EPSTEIN by car or otherwise. (See Statement of Facts, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13). + +Thus, there was no (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. See for e.g., U.S. v. 506 F.3d 140, 150-51 (2d Cir. 2007). In a defendant was convicted of violating §2422(b) where he initiated contact with girl he believed was a minor in an intemet chat room called "I Love Older Men," repeatedly made sexual advances toward girl and her "friend," asked them for their pictures, steered the conversation toward sexual activities, described the acts that he would engage in with them, tried to set up a meeting with both of them, and appeared + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 22 + +for a meeting with condoms and a Viagra pill in his car. Thus, the Circuit court agreed had the requisite intent to violate § 2422(b). The Circuit Court determined that a reasonable juror could also have found that the defendant took a substantial step beyond mere preparation when he arrived at the meeting place with two condoms and a Viagra pill in his car. See also U.S. v. Munro 394 F.3d 865, 870 (10th Cir.2005)(Defendant convicted of attempting to persuade a minor to engage in sexual acts by using computer connected to the intemet, under §2422(b), where chat room communications included defendant asking "girl" about her sexual history, her virginity, her experience wit oral sex, and the possibility of making a movie together; defendant further told "girl" about his desire to perform oral sex on her.); U.S. v. Barlow, 568 F.3d 215 (5th Cir. 2009). See also U.S. v. Kave, 451 F.Supp.2d 775, supra, where defendant engaged in lengthy "chat room" communications of a sexual nature with individual he believed was a 13 year old boy, described what he was going to do with 13 year old, and traveled to the home of the 13 year old. + +Thus, because the evidence (JD6's own sworn testimony) establishes that there was no violation of §2422(b), an essential element of Plaintiff's 18 U.S.0 §2255 claim asserted in Count III is missing. The claim fails as a matter of law and Defendant is entitled to the entry of summary judgment on the claim. Summary judgment is proper under Rule 56(c)(2), Fed.R.Civ.P, when there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Celotex v. Catrett. 477 U.S. 317, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 2552, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986).

JD6's own testimony establishes that EPSTEIN never used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce, entice, or coerce her to engage in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempting to do so. 18 U.S.C. §2422(b). Under the undisputed material facts, JD6 cannot show a violation of the enumerated predicate act, §2422(b) on which she relies, in order to prove her claim pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255; thus, an essential element of her §2255 cannot be established, entitling Defendant to the entry of summary judgment on Count III. + +#### III. The Version of 18 U.S.C. 2255 In Effect When The Predicate Acts Allegedly Were Committed Allowed Only "Minors" To File Suit. + +The Amended Complaint is predicated on conduct that occurred in August of 2004. JD6's date of birth is September 3, 1990. (See Statement Facts above). The original Complaint in this matter was filed on September 11, 2008. Thus, JD6 was 18 years old at the time this suit was filed and no longer a minor. (The age of majority under both federal and state law is 18 years old. See 18 U.S.C. §2256(1), defining a "minor" as "any person under the age of eighteen years;" and §1.01, Definitions, Fla. Stat., defining "minor" to include "any person who has not attained the age of 18 years.") + +From 1999 to July 26, 2006, 18 U.S.C. § 2255(a) provided: + +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 + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 24 + +\$50,000 in value. + +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. Garner, 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 pre-July, 2006 version of the statute, only minors could initiate suit. + +The recent case of U.S. v. Baker, 2009 WL 4572785, \*7-8 (E.D. Tx Dec. 7, 2009), in discussing the restitution under 18 U.S.C. §2255 noted that when the statute was amended in 2006 — "Masha's Law increased the minimum damages amount from \$50,000 to \$150,000 and broadened the language of section 2255 to allow adults to recover for damages sustained while they were a minor." The plain reading of the statute + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 25 + +makes clear that prior to the 2006 amendment, the remedy was created for the benefit of minors who suffered sexual exploitation as a result of violation of a statutorily enumerated criminal act(s). + +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: + +(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. + +18 U.S.C. § 2255 (2006) (emphasis added). + +The contrast between the prior and 2006 versions of § 2255 is stark. The 2006 law replaces each of the prior law's uses of the term "minor" with the term "person." Where the 2006 law does refer to a "minor," it changes the prior law's present-tense references ("is") to past-tense references ("was"). And the 2006 law's new language now makes clear that, unlike the prior statute, those victimized while under the age of 18 may + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 26 + +sue after they turn 18. Given that amendments must be interpreted "to have real and substantial effect," 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. + +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—explained: + +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 now, and that is ridiculous. It makes sure that recovery on the part of a minor can take place when they become an adult.... + +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. + +152 Cong. Rec. S8012-02 at S8016 (July 20, 2006) (statement of Sen. Kerry) (emphasis added). Courts typically give special weight to the statements of a bill's sponsor, Corley v. U.S. 129 S.Ct. 1558, 1569 (Apr. 6, 2009) ("[A] sponsor's statement to the full Senate carries considerable weight.").4There is no basis to depart from that rule here. + +4Similarly, the official summary prepared by the Congressional Research Service ("CRS") explained that Masha's Law "Nevises 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 + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 27 + +It thus is no answer that the pit-amended 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 prior version of § 2255(b). See 18 U.S.C. § 2255(6) (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. , 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. + +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 disability shall be paid ....") (emphasis added); id. § 783 ("Funds payable under sections 781 to 785 of this title to minors or to persons under legal disability shall + +\$150,000 the minimum level of damages."

Courts have long consulted official CRS summaries to assess legislative intent, see, e.g., Rettig v. Pension Ben. Guar. Corp., 744 F.2d 133, 145 & n.7 (D.C. Cir. 1984); PIRECTV Inc, v, Cignarella No. Civ.A 03-2384, 2005 WL 1252261 at '7 (D.N.J. May 24, 2005); Clohessv v. St. Francis Hosp. & Healthcare No. 98-C-4818, 1999 WL 46898 \*2-4'3 (N.D. III. Jan. 28, 1999), and there is good reason to do so. By design, CRS summaries are intended to "objectively describe() the measure's ... effect upon ... current law" so that Congress can make informed judgments about the impact of proposed bills.

Given the rule "against reading a text in a way that makes part of it redundant," Nat'l Assn 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. + +Accordingly, Defendant is entitled to summary judgment determining that the applicable version of §2255 allows for a minor to pursue the remedy thereunder. JD6 was 18 years old at the time she instituted this action, no longer a minor. + +### Conclusion + +Thus, under the undisputed material facts and applicable law, Defendant is entitled to the entry of summary judgment determining that (1) the version of 18 U.S.C. + +Case No. 08-CV-80994-Marra-M + +Page 29 + +§2255, effective 1999 to Jul. 26, 2006, the period of time during which EPSTEIN's alleged conduct occurred, applies to Plaintiff's claim brought pursuant to §2255; (2) JD6's own testimony establishes that EPSTEIN never used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce, entice, or coerce her to engage in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempting to do so. 18 U.S.C. §2422(b). Her testimony and the allegations of the complaint also show that EPSTEIN never traveled interstate with the specific intent of engaging in sexual activity with her. 18 U.S.C. 2423(b) and (e). Under the undisputed material facts, JD6 cannot show a violation of the enumerated predicate acts on which she relies, in order to prove her claim pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255; thus, an essential element of her §2255 cannot be established, entitling Defendant to the entry of summary judgment on Count III; and (3) the version of 18 U.S.C. § 2255 in effect when the predicate acts allegedly were committed allow only "minors" to file suit. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court enter the summary judgments sought herein.

2-8 ("Plaintiffs"), by and through undersigned counsel, file this Memorandum in Response to Defendant's Rule 4 Appeal of the Magistrate Judge's Orders (DE 480 and DE 513) directing Defendant to produce his income tax returns, as follows: + +# Introduction + +Defendant appeals the Magistrate Judge's Orders (DE 480 and DE 513) compelling Defendant to produce income tax returns and related forms and schedules. He fails, however, to demonstrate that the Magistrate Judge's decision as to tax returns is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. The applicable case law establishes that the tax returns are not protected from discovery by the Fifth Amendment privilege under the act of production doctrine, or alternatively, that they fall within the "required records" exception to the Fifth Amendment privilege. + +The tax returns are indisputably relevant in these cases, particularly as to Plaintiff's claims for punitive damages, and given the Defendant's invocation of the Fifth Amendment in blanket fashion to all requests for net worth discovery, there is a compelling need for this discovery. Even if Plaintiffs could not demonstrate a compelling need for the tax returns in discovery, under applicable Eleventh Circuit precedent and reported cases in this District, Plaintiffs would be entitled to this discovery under the broad relevance standard of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b). Finally, there is no basis to delay this discovery, as the tax returns are relevant to punitive damages, which is an important, current issue in these cases. For the reasons set forth herein, Plaintiff's request that the Magistrate Judge's Orders as to Defendant's tax returns be affirmed and that Defendant be ordered to produce the tax return discovery requested by Plaintiffs. + +### Argument + +### I. DEFENDANT HAS BURDEN TO SHOW THAT MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S ORDER IS CLEARLY ERRONEOUS OR CONTRARY TO LAW + +In seeking reversal of the Magistrate Judge's Order as to discovery of tax returns, it is the Defendant's burden to show that the order is "clearly erroneous or contrary to law". 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1). Absent such a showing, the Magistrate Judge's decision "shall not be disturbed." Emmisive Energy Corp. v. Novatac, Inc., 2009 WL 2834841 •I (S.D. Fla. 2009). In the instant appeal, Defendant has not shown that the Magistrate Judge's Order to produce tax returns is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. + +### II. THE ACT OF PRODUCTION OF TAX RETURNS IS NOT PROTECTED BY THE FIFTH AMENDMENT PRIVILEGE + +The Plaintiffs served the following document request in discovery, to which Defendant asserted the Fifth Amendment privilege: + +Request No. 1: All Federal and State income tax returns, including all W-2 forms, 1099 forms and schedules, for tax years 2003-2008. + +The Magistrate Judge rejected the Defendant's privilege assertion as to tax returns. (De 480, pp. 8-9). In so holding, the Magistrate Judge applied the act of production doctrine set forth in + +Fisher v. United States 425 U.S. 391, 410 (1976) and United States v. Hubbell 530 U.S. 27, 35- 36 (2000). As noted by the Magistrate Judge, "Defendant cannot reasonably and in good faith argue that in producing these documents to Plaintiff he will somehow be incriminating himself." (Order, p. 9). Yet, Defendant argues just that. In Hubbell the Supreme Court made express reference to tax returns in discussing documents that cannot be protected by the Fifth Amendment privilege under the act of production doctrine: + +> [T]he fact that incriminating evidence may be the byproduct of obedience to a regulatory requirement, such as filing an income tax return, maintaining required records, or reporting an accident, does not clothe such required conduct with the testimonial privilege. + +120 U.S. at 2043, 530 U.S. at 35 (footnotes omitted) (emphasis supplied). Accord United States v. Hammes 3 F.3d 1081, 1083 (7th Cir. 1993) ("[w]e reject [defendant's] compulsory selfincrimination claim because the government may use voluntarily filed tax returns against a defendant without violating the Fifth Amendment"). See also Garner v. United States, 96 S.Ct. 1178, 424 U.S. 648 (1976) (holding that disclosures in tax returns are not compelled incriminations and may be used as evidence in criminal prosecution)• Ebay. Inc. v. Digital Point Solutions. Inc. 2010 WL 147967 \*8 (N.D. Cal. 2010) (holding that a person cannot incriminate himself by turning over a document already in the government's possession); Federal Savings and Loan Ins. Corp. v. Hardee, 686 F. Supp 885 (N.D. Fla. 1988) (holding that personal income tax returns and supporting schedules are not protected by the "act of production" doctrine under Fisher). + +As an alternative to finding that the Fifth Amendment privilege does not apply because the act of producing documents is not testimonial and communicative, courts have invoked the "required records" exception to the act of production doctrine. See Federal Saving & Loan Ins. Corp. v. Rodrigues 717 F. Supp. 1424, 1427 (N.D. Cal 1988) ("required records" exception is a distinct basis to deny Fifth Amendment privilege alternative to the "foregone conclusion" rationale under Fisher). The "required records" exception defeats the Fifth Amendment privilege where: "(I) because of the public aspect of the required records the individual admits little of significance by their production; and (2) by doing business in an area where the government requires record keeping, an individual may be deemed to have waived the Fifth Amendment privilege as to the production of those records." In re Grand Jury Subpoena 21 F.3d 226, 229 (8th Cir. 1994). + +Defendant contends that the "required records" exception does not apply to tax returns because they cannot be accessed by the public. This is wrong, however, as the "required records" exception requires only that there be "public aspects" to the documents at issue. Id. Numerous courts that have addressed this precise issue have found that tax returns have "public aspects". See Rodrigues, 717 F. Supp. at 1426-27 (citing cases); accord Doe v. United States, 711 F.2d 1187, 1191 (2d Cir. 1983).1 Accordingly, the "required records" exception applies to the production of tax returns. In Rodrigues the Court denied the Fifth Amendment privilege for the act of producing tax returns under the "required records" exception, noting that "records filed with a public body pursuant to a valid regulatory scheme have been held to have public aspects." Id. at 1427. Accordingly, the fact that federal tax returns cannot be accessed by the general public does not aid the Defendant. Accord Resolution Trust Corp. v. =, 794 F. Supp. 1, 3 (D.D.C. 1992). + +Thus, there are two alternative grounds for holding that Defendant's assertion of the Fifth Amendment privilege to production of tax returns is invalid: (1) the tax returns are in the + +' Defendant further appears to argue that the "required records" exception should be limited to "highly regulated business (e.g., physicians)", citing In re Dr. John Doe 97 F.R.D. 640, 641-643 (S.D.N.Y. 1982). In Dr. John Doe, however, the Court held contrary to Defendant's assertion and consistent with the case law cited herein stating, "[w]e agree that some of these records (e.g. W-2 and other tax forms) may indeed fall within the required records exception." Id. at 644 (ordering that Dr. Doe comply with subpoena for W-2 forms). + +possession of the government, their existence is a foregone conclusion, and there is no risk of "implicit authentication" by Defendant's production of these documents; or (2) tax returns fall within the "required records" exception to the act of production doctrine, and are thus not protected by the Fifth Amendment. Under either of these grounds, the Defendant's tax returns are not privileged and must be produced in discovery. + +### II. THERE IS NO HEIGHTENED BURDEN FOR DISCOVERY OF TAX RETURNS + +Defendant asserts that there is a heightened burden on a party seeking discovery of tax returns, requiring that party to show not only relevance, but also that "a compelling need for the tax returns exists because the information contained therein is not otherwise available." (Appeal, p. 24). However, in the Eleventh Circuit this heightened burden has been rejected. "[Title Eleventh Circuit does not require a showing of compelling need before tax information may be obtained by a party in discovery." Bellosa v. Universal Tile Restoration. Inc. 2008 WL 2620735 (S.D. Fla. 2008) (citing Maddow v. Procter & Gamble Co. 107 F.3d 846 (11th Cir. 1997)); accord U.S. v. Certain Real Property 444 F.Supp. 2d 1258 (S.D.FIa. 2006)• Platypus Wear. Inc. v. Clarke Modet & Co., 2008 W.L. 728540 (S.D. Fla. 2008); Preferred Care Partners Holding Corp. v. Humana. Inc. 2008 WL 4500258 (S.D. Ha. 2008); Ruskin Co. v. Greenheck Fan Corp. 2009 WL 383349 (S.D. Fla. 2009). Significantly, in both Preferred Care and Ruskin the Court affirmed the decision of a Magistrate Judge rejecting a higher standard for production of tax returns, holding that, despite an arguable split of authority, 2the Magistrate Judge's decision was not "contrary to law." Id. Likewise, the Magistrate Judge's decision in this case compelling + +'Defendant relies upon Pendlebury v. Starbucks Coffee Co. 2008 WL 2105024 (S.D. Fla. 2005) and Dunkin Donuts. Inc. v. Mary's Donuts, Inc. 2001 WL 34079319 (S.D. Fla. 2001), in which the Court applied the higher standard. These cases do not consider the Eleventh Circuit's opinion in Maddow and the federal judges in this District over the past five years since Pendlebury have consistently rejected the "compelling need" standard for production of tax returns. See cases cited above.

production of tax returns is consistent with authority in this District and the Eleventh Circuit, and thus should be affirmed.

III. EVIDENCE OF DEFENDANT'S FINANCIAL STATUS AND HISTORY IS RELEVANT TO PUNITIVE DAMAGES, AMONG OTHER ISSUES

Defendant does not go so far as to contend that the discovery of his tax returns is not relevant under Fed.R.Civ.P. 26. Defendant only argues that the Magistrate Judge did not address the relevancy standard in her Order. (Appeal, p. 25). As a result, Defendant does nothing to show that the Magistrate Judge's Order as to tax returns is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. In any event, it is abundantly clear that Defendant's financial status and history are relevant to punitive damages, among other issues in these cases, and in this regard the Defendant's tax returns are pertinent and discoverable. Tennant v. Charlton 377 So.2d 1169 (Ha. 1979) (holding that party may obtain tax returns for purposes of net worth discovery on issue of punitive damages). See also State v. O'Malley, 53 S.W. 3d 623 (Mo. App. 2001) ("[i]t is well settled that when a plaintiff seeks punitive damages against a defendant, evidence of the defendant's financial status is both relevant and admissible"); Interstate Narrow Fabrics. Inc. v. Century USA. Inc 2004 WL 444570 (M.D. N.C. 2004) (holding that tax returns are relevant to the jury's determination of the amount of punitive damages to award); E.J. Lavino & Co. v. Universal Health Services, Inc., 1991 WL 275767 (ED. Pa. 1991) ("[m]ost courts that have considered this issue have held that a plaintiff seeking punitive damages may discovery information pertaining to a defendant's net worth").

Defendant further argues that he should not have to produce his tax returns until "it becomes apparent" that "punitive damages will be an issue." (Appeal, p. 26). This argument ignores Florida law on punitive damages. It is well established that "punitive damages are always recoverable in intentional tort cases where malice is one of the essential elements of the

ton." Ciamar Marcay. Inc. v. Monteiro Da Costa 508 So.2d 1282 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987) (emphasis supplied). "In Florida it is clear that an act of intentional assault and battery committed without legal justification supplies proof of malice." Joab, Inc. v. Thrall, 245 So.2d 291 (Fla. 3d DCA 1971). Therefore, it is clear in this intentional tort case that punitive damages are an issue. As this Court knows, Defendant Epstein is alleged to have perpetrated a plan and scheme to sexually molest dozens of underage teenage girls.;

Even assuming that the "compelling need" standard were applicable for discovery of tax returns, clearly in this case there is a compelling need. Defendant has provided no net worth discovery, asserting a blanket Fifth Amendment privilege.4Defendant nonetheless contends that there exists an "alternative" - not to discovery of the necessary information, but through his offer to "stipulate" to a net worth in the nine figures. Of course, a stipulation requires the consent of the parties and there is no agreement in this case on the Defendant's net worth. Defendant cannot unilaterally by fiat claim a certain net worth for purposes of tria1.5 The law is well established that a jury may determine punitive damages "by exacting from [the defendant's] pocketbook a sum of money which, according to his financial ability, will hurt, but not

3Defendant's reliance on Gallina v. Commerce and Industry Ins. 2008 WL 3895918 (M.D. Fla. 2008) is misplaced. Gallina is an insurance bad faith case and does not involve a claim of punitive damages against an intentional tortfeasor. Moreover, in the present case it would make no sense to have a different "stage" for punitive damages discovery or trial.

4 "[T]he burden to identify an alternative source of the information lies with the resisting party." Interstate Narrow Fabrics, 2004 WL 444570 at \*2. Here, Epstein's blanket Fifth Amendment privilege assertion to all net worth discovery makes it clear that there is a compelling need for any net worth discovery not protected by the Fifth Amendment privilege.

5 Defendant relies upon Myers v. Central Florida Investment, Inc., 592 F.3d 1201 (11th Cir. 2010) for its "stipulation" argument. In Myers, however, the district court heard testimony regarding each of the defendant's net worth. There was no unilateral statement of net worth in Myers as Defendant wishes to create in the instant case. To the extent that Defendant relies upon the Court's holding in Myers regarding the reasonableness of the trial court's award of punitive damages, the issue of reasonableness is determined by the particular facts and circumstances of the case and the discussion in Myers of this issue has no relevance here. Id.

bankrupt." loth. Inc. v. Thrall 245 So.2d 291 (Fla. 3d DCA 1971) (emphasis supplied). Plaintiffs are therefore entitled to discovery on the Defendant's real net worth so that the jury will be in a position to make an award that "will hurt". In any event, it seems beyond dispute that Defendant's tax returns are relevant and discoverable, either under a straight relevance test under Fed.R.Civ.P. 26 or a heightened "compelling need" standard.

Conclusion

Based on the foregoing, the Magistrate Judge's Orders as to Defendant's production of tax returns in response to Plaintiffs' document request no. I are not clearly erroneous and not contrary to law. As a result, the Magistrate Judge's Orders as to production of tax returns should be affirmed. Plaintiffs respectfully request that the documents responsive to Plaintiffs' document request no. I be ordered to be produced forthwith.

In support, Defendant states as follows: + +1. As this Court is well aware, these cases have been consolidated for discovery. However, on April 1, 2010, Plaintiff's counsel, Spencer Kuvin, filed C.L. v. Epstein, Case No. 10-80447-cv-Marra\_, and that case has not been consolidated with the other related cases for purposes of discovery. + +2. On April 20, 2010, Mr. Kuvin served Maritza Milagros Vasquez with a subpoena for deposition, which is set to occur tomorrow. See Exhibit "A". However, this Notice and subpoena for deposition must be stricken/quashed as Mr. Kuvin, on behalf of his client, has failed to comply with Fed.R.Civ.P. 26 (d). That rule states, in pertinent part, that: "[a] party may not seek discovery from any source before the parties have conferred as required by Rule 26(f). . . ." Mr. Kuvin, on behalf of his client, has not complied with Rule 26(f) and, therefore, the subpoena for deposition must be stricken/quashed and a Protective Order should be entered pursuant to Rule 26(c) forbidding the deposition from occurring for non-compliance with the applicable rules. In Varo, Inc. v. Litton Systems, Inc., 129 F.R.D. 139, 141 (N.D. TX 1989), the court held that one cannot be compelled to comply with awithdrawn subpoena. Id. Likewise, the court here cannot compel Maritza Milagros Vasquez to attend any deposition when the subpoena itself is invalid, especially when it will require those involved in these matters to incur substantial attorneys' fees. + +3. Next, Mr. Brad counsel for Jane Doe, cross-noticed Maritza Milagros Vasquez's deposition in Jane Doe (#08-80893 - Exhibit "B"), which matter is already set for trial in July 2010. Discovery concluded on May 31, 2010 see DE 531). Accordingly, the cross notice served by Jane Doe must be stricken/quashed and a protective order entered because the subpoena itself in invalid due to C.L.'s counsel's failure to comply with Rule 26(d) and discovery in Jane Doe (80893) has concluded. + +#### Rule 7.1 Certification + +Ihereby certify that counsel for the respective parties communicated by e-mail in a good faith effort to resolve the issues set forth above prior to the filing of this Motion and none of the issues were resolved. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court enter an order granting Defendant's motion for protective order and motion to quash. Defendant further requests that this Court award his attorney's fees and costs associated with this motion, in accordance with Rule 37, Fed.R.Civ.P. and applicable Local Rules and specifically: + +- a. Quash CL's subpoena attached as Exhibit "A"; + +- b. Quash and/or strike Jane Doe's cross notice as to Exhibit "A" because Exhibit "A" is invalid and discovery has concluded in Jane Doe; +- c.
