UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

CASE NO.: 09-80469-CIV-MARRA
|

VS.
|

JEFFREY EPSTEIN

PLAINTIFF'S COUNSEL'S RESPONSE TO COURT'S ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
|
| 13 |
+
Plaintiff's counsel responds to the Court's Order to Show Cause, and states:
|
| 14 |
+
Plaintiff's counsel apologizes to the Court for a failure to finalize a Joint
|
| 15 |
+
Scheduling Conference Report and Order and to file same with the Court in accordance
|
| 16 |
+
with the Court's Order.
|
| 17 |
+
The parties did exchange a number of drafts of the Joint Scheduling Report
|
| 18 |
+
and proposed Order but despite efforts to finalize it did not do so. There was some delay
|
| 19 |
+
in effecting service on Defendant
|
| 20 |
+
who is believed to have been avoiding
|
| 21 |
+
service, and this accounts for part of the delay in filing the Report and Proposed Order,
|
| 22 |
+
although it certainly does not excuse it.
|
| 23 |
+
The parties have been involved in settlement discussions for some time, and
|
| 24 |
+
reached a resolution of the claims in this and the State court companion case this week,
|
| 25 |
+
and all claims have been resolved. Defendant has filed a Joint Stipulation and proposed
|
| 26 |
+
Order indicating the resolution of this case.

BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally appeared
|
| 10 |
+
having personal knowledge and being duly sworn, deposes and says:
|
| 11 |
+
I, Jack A. Goldberger, have personal knowledge of the matters set
|
| 12 |
+
forth herein. I am an attorney licensed to practice in the State of Florida since
|
| 13 |
+
1978. I am a partner with the law firm of Atterbury Goldberger & Weiss, P.A.,
|
| 14 |
+
located at One Clearlake Centre, Suite 1400, 250 Australian Avenue South, West
|
| 15 |
+
Palm Beach, FL 33401.
|
| 16 |
+
2.
|
| 17 |
+
My practice includes and specializes in the defense of criminal
|
| 18 |
+
matters. I am board certified in criminal law. I have been and currently am the
|
| 19 |
+
criminal defense attorney for JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
|
| 20 |
+
3.
|
| 21 |
+
I represented Mr. EPSTEIN in the negotiation of and entering into a
|
| 22 |
+
Non-Prosecution Agreement with the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) for
|
| 23 |
+
the Federal Southern District of Florida. The terms and conditions of the Non-
|
| 24 |
+
Prosecution Agreement also entailed the entering of a Plea Agreement with the
|
| 25 |
+
State Attorney's Office, Palm Beach County, State of Florida. (The Non-
|
| 26 |
+
Prosecution Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as the "NPA").
|
| 27 |
+
By its terms, the NPA took effect on June 30, 2008. Also, pursuant
|
| 28 |
+
to the terms of the NPA, any criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN is deferred
|
| 29 |
+
as long as the terms and conditions of the NPA are fulfilled by EPSTEIN.
|
| 30 |
+

Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 63-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/25/2009 Page 2 of 3
|
| 34 |
+
5.
|
| 35 |
+
The criminal matters against EPSTEIN remain ongoing until the
|
| 36 |
+
NPA expires by its terms in late 2010, and as long as the USAO determines
|
| 37 |
+
EPSTEIN has complied with those terms and conditions. The threat of criminal
|
| 38 |
+
prosecution against EPSTEIN by USAO in the Southern District of Florida
|
| 39 |
+
continues presently and through late 2010.

Pursuant to the terms of the NPA, the USAO possesses the right to
|
| 42 |
+
declare that the agreement has been breached, give EPSTEIN's counsel notice,
|
| 43 |
+
and attempt to move forward with a prosecution. As of the date of this Affidavit,
|
| 44 |
+
the USAO has taken the position on a number of occasions that it might consider
|
| 45 |
+
the following actions by EPSTEIN to be a breach of the NPA.
|
| 46 |
+
• Investigation by EPSTEIN (by and through his attorneys) of this Plaintiff
|
| 47 |
+
and the other Plaintiffs in other pending civil cases for purposes of
|
| 48 |
+
defending the civil actions;
|
| 49 |
+
• EPSTEIN's contesting damages in this action and other civil actions.
|
| 50 |
+
• EPSTEIN or his legal representatives making statements to the press
|
| 51 |
+
about this Plaintiff or the other Plaintiffs.
|
| 52 |
+
• Using the word "jail" instead of "imprisonment" in the plea agreement with
|
| 53 |
+
the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office.
|
| 54 |
+
7.
|
| 55 |
+
EPSTEIN, through counsel, submitted a Freedom of Information
|
| 56 |
+
Act request to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for documents relating to
|
| 57 |
+
this and the other cases; the FBI denied the request stating the materials are at
|
| 58 |
+
this time exempt from disclosure because they are in an investigative file, i.e. the
|
| 59 |
+
matter is still an ongoing criminal investigation.

| 15 |
+
ORDER AGAINST SECOND DAY OF DEPOSITION OF PLAINTIFF
|
| 16 |
+
EXTENDING PAST SEVEN HOURS IN THE AGGREGATE,
|
| 17 |
+
AND INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM OF LAW
|
| 18 |
+
Plaintiff, Jane Doe No. 4, by and through undersigned counsel, hereby files this Motion
|
| 19 |
+
for Protective Order Against Second Day of Deposition of Plaintiff Extending Past Seven Hours
|
| 20 |
+
in the Aggregate, and Incorporated Memorandum of Law, as follows:
|
| 21 |
+
Introduction
|
| 22 |
+
Plaintiff Jane Doe filed a similar Motion for Protective Order on October 29, 2009
|
| 23 |
+
seeking relief from Defendant taking her deposition for a second day. (DE 378). Plaintiff Jane
|
| 24 |
+
Doe No. 4 seeks essentially the same relief limiting her deposition to seven hours, and,
|
| 25 |
+
accordingly, Jane Doe No. 4 joins in Jane Doe's Motion for Protective Order. As discussed
|
| 26 |
+
below, a deposition of Jane Doe No. 4 longer than seven hours in the aggregate would be
|
| 27 |
+
contrary to Fed.R.Civ.P. 30(d)(1), S.D.Fla.L.R. 26.1(K), and this Court's Consolidation Order.
|
| 28 |
+
(DE 98).

Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 392 Entered on FLSD Docket 11/03/2009 Page 2 of 7
|
| 33 |
+
Background
|
| 34 |
+
2.
|
| 35 |
+
Pursuant to Court Order, Plaintiff Jane Doe No. 4's deposition was taken on
|
| 36 |
+
October 27, 2009.
|
| 37 |
+
The deposition lasted from approximately 11:00 a.m. until 6:04 p.m.
|
| 38 |
+
Defendant's counsel stopped his questioning at that time, stating that he had another
|
| 39 |
+
appointment.
|
| 40 |
+
3.
|
| 41 |
+
Defendant has subsequently demanded that Jane Doe No. 4 appear for a second
|
| 42 |
+
day of deposition. The parties have tentatively agreed that this second day of deposition will
|
| 43 |
+
take place on November 17, 2009.
|
| 44 |
+
4.
|
| 45 |
+
Plaintiffs' counsel has calculated the aggregate time Jane Doe No. 4 has spent in
|
| 46 |
+
deposition thus far, deducting time spent in breaks, and has determined that Plaintiff Jane Doe
|
| 47 |
+
No. 4 has spent five hours and thirty five minutes in deposition. This calculation has been
|
| 48 |
+
provided to Defendant's counsel, and has not been disputed.
|
| 49 |
+
5.
|
| 50 |
+
For the reasons set forth below, Jane Doe No. 4 should not be required to
|
| 51 |
+
complete her deposition for a period longer than one hour and twenty five minutes. This will
|
| 52 |
+
provide Defendant with an aggregate total of seven hours deposition time of Jane Doe No. 4.
|
| 53 |
+
Discussion
|
| 54 |
+
Rule 30(d)(1), Fed.R.Civ.P., provides a limit on the time that may be taken for a
|
| 55 |
+
6.
|
| 56 |
+
deposition:
|
| 57 |
+
Unless otherwise stipulated or ordered by the court, a deposition is
|
| 58 |
+
limited to one day of seven hours.
|
| 59 |
+
The Court must allow
|
| 60 |
+
additional time consistent with Rule 26(d)(2) if needed to fairly
|
| 61 |
+
examine the deponent ...
|
| 62 |
+
Consistent with Fed.R.Civ.P. 30(d)(1), S.D.Fla.L.R. 26.1(K) provides that "lu]nless otherwise
|
| 63 |
+
authorized by the Court or stipulated by the parties, a deposition is limited, under Fed.R.Civ.P.
|
| 64 |
+
30(d) to one day of seven hours."

Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 392 Entered on FLSD Docket 11/03/2009 Page 3 of 7
|
| 69 |
+
7.
|
| 70 |
+
This one day, seven hour limit was waived under the Court's Consolidation Order
|
| 71 |
+
for circumstances that are not present in the deposition of Jane Doe No. 4. Specifically, the
|
| 72 |
+
Court's Order consolidating cases dated May 14, 2009 (DE 98) waives the seven hour limit so
|
| 73 |
+
that the multiple Plaintiffs' attorneys in these cases may have an adequate opportunity to
|
| 74 |
+
question witnesses with regard to each particular Plaintiff:
|
| 75 |
+
For depositions, Local Rule 26.1K (limiting deposition time to one
|
| 76 |
+
day of seven hours) is waived so as to allow each party an
|
| 77 |
+
adequate opportunity to develop fully the record as it may relate to
|
| 78 |
+
that party. However, this waiver shall not be construed as
|
| 79 |
+
authority for any party to take unnecessarily long depositions, or
|
| 80 |
+
abuse the process. Any abuses of this waiver shall result in the
|
| 81 |
+
imposition of appropriate sanctions against the offending party.
|

(Order, p. 4, 9l 8) (emphasis supplied).
|
| 83 |
+
8.
|
| 84 |
+
This waiver does not apply to the deposition of a Plaintiff taken by the Defendant.
|
| 85 |
+
Defendant's counsel is the only attorney asking questions at this deposition. There are two other
|
| 86 |
+
Plaintiffs' attorneys attending the deposition, one of which has appeared by telephone. It is
|
| 87 |
+
unlikely that either of these Plaintiffs' attorneys will ask questions of Jane Doe No. 4 because
|
| 88 |
+
nothing in the testimony indicates that their clients had any contact with Jane Doe No. 4.
|
| 89 |
+
Plaintiffs' counsel may have some questions of Jane Doe No. 4 in the nature of clarification of
|
| 90 |
+
testimony, but Jane Doe No. 4's counsel does not seek to use any part of Defendant's seven hour
|
| 91 |
+
aggregate for purposes of those questions, which will be brief and be made at the end of the
|
| 92 |
+
deposition.
|
| 93 |
+
Separate and apart from the time limit for depositions under the federal and local
|
| 94 |
+
rules, the questioning of Jane Doe No. 4 thus far has been argumentative, hostile, badgering and
|
| 95 |
+
abusive.
|
| 96 |
+
Substantial portions of the questioning have not related to any legitimate discovery
|
| 97 |
+
purpose. For example, the first exhibit marked by Defendant's attorney at the deposition was the
|
| 98 |
+
3
|
| 99 |
+
|
| 100 |
+
|
| 101 |
+
Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 392 Entered on FLSD Docket 11/03/2009 Page 4 of 7
|
| 102 |
+
Proposal for Settlement that Defendant's counsel served earlier in the case. Defendant's attorney
|
| 103 |
+
badgered Jane Doe No. 4 regarding this Proposal for Settlement, questioning whether she
|
| 104 |
+
received and understood Defendant's settlement proposal. Such a line of questioning is highly
|
| 105 |
+
improper and plainly not designed to lead to admissible testimony or the discovery of admissible
|
| 106 |
+
evidence. As another example, Jane Doe No. 4 testified early in her deposition that the first three
|
| 107 |
+
massages approximately she gave to Jeffrey Epstein were not sexual and she did not remove any
|
| 108 |
+
clothes. Beginning with approximately the fourth massage, during her junior year of high school
|
| 109 |
+
when she was 16 years old, she was asked progressively to remove more clothes and engage in
|
| 110 |
+
more activities of a sexual nature. Over approximately a two-year period, she would engage in
|
| 111 |
+
massages in which she was naked and sexual activity occurred approximately twice a week
|
| 112 |
+
during periods in which Epstein was in Palm Beach. She made it clear early in her testimony
|
| 113 |
+
that she did not recall the exact dates in which these massages occurred. Despite this,
|
| 114 |
+
Defendant's counsel engaged in flurries of identical questions demanding exact dates, berating
|
| 115 |
+
and badgering the witness, on repeated occasions throughout the course of the deposition. As
|
| 116 |
+
demonstrated by these examples, a substantial portion of the deposition thus far has consisted of
|
| 117 |
+
abusive questioning and not legitimate discovery.'
|
| 118 |
+
' There are other instances of abuse by Defendant's counsel at Jane Doe No. 4's deposition.
|
| 119 |
+
S.D.Fla.L.R. 30.1(A)(5) defines abusive deposition conduct to include the following:
|
| 120 |
+
Questioning that unfairly embarrasses, humiliates, intimidates, or
|
| 121 |
+
harasses the deponent, or invades his or her privacy absent a clea
|
| 122 |
+
tatement on the record explaining how the answers to suc
|
| 123 |
+
questions will constitute, or lead to, competent evidence admissible
|
| 124 |
+
at trial.
|
| 125 |
+
At the present time, Plaintiff's attorneys have not yet received the copy of the transcript of Jane
|
| 126 |
+
Doe No. 4's deposition taken on October 27, 2009. Upon receipt, Plaintiff's attorney will file the
|
| 127 |
+
transcript to demonstrate the abusive practices engaged in by Defendant's attorney.
|
| 128 |

Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 392 Entered on FLSD Docket 11/03/2009 Page 5 of 7
|
| 132 |
+
10. This is not a commercial case, in which the questioning must necessarily be
|
| 133 |
+
focused on numerous complex commercial documents. In Dunkin Donuts, Inc. v. Mary's
|
| 134 |
+
Donuts, Inc., 206 F.R.D. 518 (S.D.Fla. 2002), the Court allowed the Plaintiff to depose the
|
| 135 |
+
Defendant's accountant and corporate representative for an additional seven hours because it was
|
| 136 |
+
a complex commercial case involving seven years of commercial activity and 10,000 pages of
|
| 137 |
+
documents. Id. at 522. See also Pace v. City of Palmetto, 2007 WL 470477 (S.D.Fla. 2007)
|
| 138 |
+
(granting a party one hour additional deposition time because the deponent had not read
|
| 139 |
+
documents in advance, and was taking an inordinate amount of time during the deposition to read
|
| 140 |
+
documents). The nature of this case, for damages arising from sexual misconduct, does not
|
| 141 |
+
warrant a deposition in excess of seven hours.
|
| 142 |
+
11.
|
| 143 |
+
Under Fed.R.Civ.P. 30(d)(1), S.D.Fla.L.R. 26.1(K) and the Court's Consolidation
|
| 144 |
+
Order (DE 98), it is the Defendant's burden to demonstrate why more than seven hours of
|
| 145 |
+
deposition time is necessary for a particular Plaintiff. Not only can Defendants not make such a
|
| 146 |
+
demonstration, the deposition of Jane Doe No. 4 emphatically demonstrates that more than seven
|
| 147 |
+
hours of deposition time would only provide Defendant with a license for abuse, which is plainly
|
| 148 |
+
part and parcel of Defendant's strategy to intimidate and harass the Plaintiffs in these cases.
|
| 149 |
+
12.
|
| 150 |
+
Plaintiff Jane Doe No. 4 is willing to sit for a second day of deposition for a
|
| 151 |
+
period of no longer than one hour and twenty five minutes, giving Epstein an aggregate of seven
|
| 152 |
+
hours of deposition time. Under the circumstances, any more deposition questioning will clearly
|
| 153 |
+
be abusive. This additional one hour twenty five minutes of deposition time is more than enough
|
| 154 |
+
time for Defendant to complete any remaining legitimate questions of Jane Doe No. 4.
|
| 155 |
+
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests a protective order consistent with
|
| 156 |
+
Fed.R.Civ.P. 30(d)(I) and S.D.Fla.L.R. 26.1(K), as well as this Court's Consolidation Order,

|
| 72 |
+
grounds:

| 73 |
+
1) On Wednesday, June 10, 2009, undersigned counsel, his wife and two granddaughters
|
| 74 |
+

|
| 75 |
+
opportunity for his two high school granddaughters to visit colleges in the Northeast. Counsel is
|
| 76 |
+
scheduled to return to South Florida on Tuesday, June 16".
|
| 77 |
+
2) Counsel is very appreciative and supportive of the Court's scheduling a hearing on the
|
| 78 |
+
Defendants' Motion to Stay. That hearing was scheduled (within the last 3 hours) for Friday,
|
| 79 |
+
June 12" at 10:00 a.m., right in the middle of Robert Josefsberg's reunion visit.
|
| 80 |
+
3) If Robert Josefsberg cannot attend, Jane Doe 101 and 102 will be well represented by
|
| 81 |
+
co-counsel who can and will appear in person at said hearing on June 12, 2009. However,
|
| 82 |
+
Robert Josefsberg is lead counsel and would prefer to be present during said hearing.
|
| 83 |
+
4) In the event that this hearing cannot be rescheduled for June 4, 5, 8 or 9", or June 17",
|
| 84 |
+
18"' or 19", Robert Josefsberg requests permission to appear at said June 12th hearing by
|
| 85 |
+

|
| 86 |
+
WHEREFORE, Robert Josefsberg requests the relief requested above.

INTERVENOR EPSTEIN'S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR A SUPPLEMENTAL
|
| 11 |
+
PROTECTIVE ORDER
|
| 12 |
+
Now comes Intervenor, Jeffrey Epstein, who moves that this Honorable Court
|
| 13 |
+
issue a supplemental Protective Order that would expand the limited Protective Order
|
| 14 |
+
allowed in its decision Granting in Part and Denying in Part the Intervenors' Motion for a
|
| 15 |
+
Protective Confidentiality Order. [D.E. 255 at 4]. The purpose of the proposed
|
| 16 |
+
supplement to the previously ordered Protective Order is to require that any party would
|
| 17 |
+
be required to file under seal any portion of the plea negotiation correspondence between
|
| 18 |
+
the Government and Epstein's counsel, whether offered as an exhibit or quoted from in
|
| 19 |
+
the content of a pleading or motion. Such a redacted filing would in all other respects be
|
| 20 |
+
filed as a public filing unless subject to other orders of the Court, and each party would
|
| 21 |
+
reserve the right to move to unseal any redacted pleading or sealed exhibit. After
|
| 22 |
+
consultation with their counsel, both the Plaintiffs and the Government do not oppose the
|
| 23 |
+
allowing of this Motion.

DECLARATION OF GILBERT KLIMAN, M. D.

June 4, 2009
|
| 11 |
+
RE: EXPECTATION OF HARM FROM DISCLOSING THE PLAINTIFFS' IDENTITIES
|
| 12 |
+
IN DOES V JEFFREY EPSTEIN
|
| 13 |
+
1. I, Gilbert W. Kliman, M.D., of 2105 Divisadero Street, San Francisco, California,
|
| 14 |
+
CA. Physicians License G55912, declare the following under penalty of perjury:
|
| 15 |
+
2. I have been retained by plaintiffs' law firm, Mermelstein & Horowitz, to give expert
|
| 16 |
+
testimony. If called as a witness, I would testify truthfully and competently concerning
|
| 17 |
+
my psychiatric findings about each of the plaintiffs' alleged experiences of sexual abuse,
|
| 18 |
+
and the enduring effects that I find each of the young women have suffered as a direct
|
| 19 |
+
result of the sexual acts perpetrated by the defendant.
|
| 20 |
+
3. I have been asked to respond to the Defense motion, which requests that some of the
|
| 21 |
+
plaintiffs, who are now adults, should be publicly named. It is my opinion that
|
| 22 |
+
involuntary public disclosure will result in the plaintiffs experiencing revictimization,
|
| 23 |
+
albeit by a justice system that is designed to protect them. If their identities are released,
|
| 24 |
+
the victims will be at-risk of having their personal lives scrutinized by friends, extended
|
| 25 |
+
family, spouses, children, fellow students, employers and fellow employees, the media
|
| 26 |
+
and general public. This type of exposure humiliates many victims and represents another
|
| 27 |
+
betrayal of trust. Public exposure places the plaintiffs at further risk of stigmatization,
|
| 28 |
+
shame and retraumatization.
|
| 29 |
+
4. Due to traumatization the plaintiffs are arrested in their development, and even those
|
| 30 |
+
who are now legally adults are arrested in part to adolescent aspects of psychology.
|
| 31 |
+
5. The plaintiffs do not hold their heads high with pride for having been sexually
|
| 32 |
+
controlled by Mr. Epstein. They hold their heads low with shame. The internal life of a
|
| 33 |
+
typical adolescent, into late adolescence and early adult years in the best of
|
| 34 |
+
circumstances, usually involves generous proportions of self-consciousness, shame, selfabsorption and self-doubt and self-blame about sexual acts.
|
| 35 |
+
|
| 36 |
+

Case 9:09-cv-80469-KAM Document 34-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/08/2009 Page 2 of 5
|
| 40 |
+
6. Clinically harmful levels of shame, self-consciousness, self-doubt and self-blame are
|
| 41 |
+
even more prominent among victims of molestations than among the general population.
|
| 42 |
+
7. Molested teenagers are particularly vulnerable to wrongful manipulations and special
|
| 43 |
+
clinical harms from the experiences of shame and humiliation. In fact, shame and efforts
|
| 44 |
+
to cope with it played an underlying role in the harm to each plaintiff. Each was lured
|
| 45 |
+
into Mr. Epstein's sexual lair with the promise of overcoming bodily and sexual shame
|
| 46 |
+
by earning money and bettering their lot in life. The defendant capitalized on their sexual
|
| 47 |
+
naiveté, insecurities and effort to better themselves, and he worked hard to overcome
|
| 48 |
+
their shame at his enlistment of them in his selfish gratifications.
|
| 49 |
+
8. The defendant who wishes to make their identities public is one whom the criminal
|
| 50 |
+
justice system has already determined is a person who has already committed a crime of
|
| 51 |
+
child molestation. That surely means he has already exploited and manipulated the girls'
|
| 52 |
+
state of adolescent sexuality, including their embarrassment, awkwardness and bodily
|
| 53 |
+
self-consciousness. He perverted their nascent and developing moral structures by posing
|
| 54 |
+
as a generous, avuncular mentor who could coach them about their bodies, sex and love.
|
| 55 |
+
The exploitation of adolescent bodies, sex and love is - from a psychoanalytic point of
|
| 56 |
+
view - an influence on the developing moral conscience of the children, as well as on
|
| 57 |
+
their sexual urges. Now the ravaging of their internal and private moral conscience is
|
| 58 |
+
intended by the perpetrator to be made a public ravaging.
|
| 59 |
+
9. Among sexual trauma victims, the insidious and destructive persistence of shame,
|
| 60 |
+
humiliation and associated self-blame is well-documented (Finkelhor and
|
| 61 |
+
Stigmatization, as experienced by a sexual trauma victim, has especially painful and
|
| 62 |
+
pathologic consequences. Shame lingers and becomes integrated within the adolescent
|
| 63 |
+
victim's malleable emerging identity, character structure and self image. Moral clarity is
|
| 64 |
+
distorted. Perceptions of self-blame and guilt are magnified. The impact of shame lends
|
| 65 |
+
to cultivating a self image of being "spoiled goods."
|
| 66 |
+
10. Stigmatization following sexual trauma results in long-term risks that can negatively
|
| 67 |
+
shape multiple facets of adult development: sexual, emotional, interpersonal and
|
| 68 |
+
vocational. Stigmatization, which is generally to be avoided among psychiatric patients,
|
| 69 |
+
increases risks among those - as in our plaintiffs as a group - who experience clinical
|
| 70 |
+
depression and self-destructive behaviors: drug use, criminal activity, even prostitution.
|
| 71 |
+
Stigmatization following abuse is associated with delinquency due to increased anger
|
| 72 |
+
and affiliation with deviant peers (Feiring et al., 2007).
|
| 73 |
+
11. Shame and guilt are important dimensions of both complex and single event,
|
| 74 |
+
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms of shame are associated with feelings of
|
| 75 |
+
helplessness and powerlessness, which each of the plaintiffs endorsed experiencing in
|
| 76 |
+
relation to Mr. Epstein.
|
| 77 |
+
|
| 78 |
+
|
| 79 |
+
Case 9:09-cv-80469-KAM Document 34-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/08/2009 Page 3 of 5
|
| 80 |
+
12. The DSM-IV-TR recognizes both powerlessness and helplessness as requisite parts of
|
| 81 |
+
the traumatic experience in Criterion A for the diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder
|
| 82 |
+
Seligman, recent Past President of the American Psychological
|
| 83 |
+
Association, coined relevant terms of "learned helplessness and "Loss of Personal Locus
|
| 84 |
+
of Control." See Seligman, M.P. 1975: Helplessness, Depression, Development and
|
| 85 |
+
Death. W. H. Freeman, San Francisco). The teenaged girls suffered the loss of personal
|
| 86 |
+
locus of control to a much more experienced, sexually aggressive, powerful and
|
| 87 |
+
dominant, manipulative perpetrator.
|
| 88 |
+
13. Releasing names of the plaintiffs to the public will reenact experiences of
|
| 89 |
+
powerlessness and helplessness in the face of a boundary violation. Repetition and
|
| 90 |
+
reenactment represent central features of Criterion B in the DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of'
|
| 91 |
+
posttraumatic stress disorder trauma. In effect, release of their identity and public
|
| 92 |
+
intrusion into their personal life represents a reenactment of the shame of sexual
|
| 93 |
+
traumatization. Repetition and reenactment are central pathologies that afflict sexual
|
| 94 |
+
trauma survivors.
|
| 95 |
+
14. Victims of sexual abuse often rely upon some form of dissociation, splitting or denial,
|
| 96 |
+
as a defensive means to manage overwhelming affects associated with the sexual trauma.
|
| 97 |
+
Each of the plaintiff girls has employed some variation of this defense, both during the
|
| 98 |
+
massages and then subsequently following disclosure of the abuse. Primitive,
|
| 99 |
+
maladaptive responses of this nature will become additionally reinforced as a result of
|
| 100 |
+
public disclosure.
|
| 101 |
+
15. Another aspect of the plaintiffs' experience, which is recognized by DSM-IV-TR, is
|
| 102 |
+
that the trauma was associated with human design factors (such as cruel intention to do
|
| 103 |
+
harm, rape, torture). Trauma of this origin has a tendency to produce more "severe or
|
| 104 |
+
long lasting" posttraumatic stress disorder than natural events (DSM IV TR p. 464). A
|
| 105 |
+
policy of deliberate revelation of the names of the victims would reinforce the sense of
|
| 106 |
+
design, pattern and policy of human intentions.
|
| 107 |
+
16. Negative expectations about significant activities are noted in DSM-IV-TR, as part of
|
| 108 |
+
Criterion C. Symptoms of foreshortened future are characteristic of a traumatized
|
| 109 |
+
individual's clinical course (C4). They expect revictimization. They expect bad outcomes
|
| 110 |
+
(C7) in their social, educational, vocational, relational plans. They are hypervigilant
|
| 111 |
+
(Criterion D4) for further trauma, and this affects lifestyle choices and future planning.
|
| 112 |
+
Hypervigilance is part of the arousal set of criteria. Public disclosure of the victims'
|
| 113 |
+
identity will aggravate existing symptoms of hypervigilance.
|
| 114 |
+
17. The DSM-IV-TR diagnostic category of "chronic" is justified for each of the
|
| 115 |
+
plaintiffs. Scientific literature shows that the prognostic consequences of PTSD and
|
| 116 |
+
residual effects may last for decades (U.S. Dept. of Health, 2005; Issues in Child Abuse
|
| 117 |
+
Prevention Number 9 Autumn1998: Long-term Effects of Child Sexual Abuse, Paul E
|
| 118 |
+
Mullen and Jillian Fleming). The lasting impact upon character, identity and moral
|
| 119 |
+
development will probably affect long-term influences upon adult development. It is
|
| 120 |
+
more probable than not that stigmatization associated with public disclosure of the
|
| 121 |
+
3
|
| 122 |
+
|
| 123 |
+
|
| 124 |
+
Case 9:09-cv-80469-KAM Document 34-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/08/2009 Page 4 of 5
|
| 125 |
+
plaintiffs" identities will intensify the scope, nature and severity of the chronic symptom
|
| 126 |
+
course.
|
| 127 |
+
18. In addition to PTSD, shame and humiliation themselves have also been associated
|
| 128 |
+
with causing clinical depression. Coexisting PTSD and clinical depression places the
|
| 129 |
+
plaintiff's at increased risk for re-victimization and high risk sexual behaviors (e.g.,
|
| 130 |
+
sexually transmitted disease, premature pregnancy, rape) (Nelson, 2002), and at greater
|
| 131 |
+
risk to victimize others (Filipas and Ullman, 2006; Desai, Centers for Disease Control,
|
| 132 |
+
2002) who are in their control. Studies have also shown that chronic symptoms of PTSD,
|
| 133 |
+
in association with a single episode of Major Depressive Disorder, can produce lifetime
|
| 134 |
+
adjustment difficulties, which include suicidality (Oquendo et al, 2005; Dube et al, CDC,
|
| 135 |
+
2001; Rohde, J. Am. Acad. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry 2005). The plaintiffs will be
|
| 136 |
+
additionally vulnerable to these clinical outcomes, if they suffer the stigmatization and
|
| 137 |
+
humiliation associated with public disclosure of their identities.
|
| 138 |
+
19. Alternative hypothesis: I have applied the evidence shown from examination and
|
| 139 |
+
testing of the plaintiffs and relevant observations and information from other
|
| 140 |
+
professionals while testing an alternative hypothesis: that no harm would result from
|
| 141 |
+
public disclosure of the plaintiffs' identities. During the evaluations with the six
|
| 142 |
+
plaintiffs, I used generally acceptable criteria for establishing whether a DSM-IV-TR
|
| 143 |
+
disorder occurred. I established that there were provable and diagnosable injuries,
|
| 144 |
+
primarily posttraumatic stress disorder and comorbid depression. Based upon these
|
| 145 |
+
diagnostic signs, it is more probable than not, that exposing the plaintiff's identity to the
|
| 146 |
+
public is not a trivial concern or one without substantial clinical repercussions. I believe
|
| 147 |
+
that most child, adolescent and adult psychiatrists would share the opinion that additional
|
| 148 |
+
psychiatric injury will result from such exposure.
|
| 149 |
+
20. However, consider for the sake of argument, that my diagnostic conclusions are
|
| 150 |
+
incorrect, notwithstanding having fulfilled standard psychiatric evaluation procedures of
|
| 151 |
+
taking a history from multiple sources, videotaping and transcribing my initial interview,
|
| 152 |
+
and reviewing available medical and legal documents. Even if this was the case, and my
|
| 153 |
+
diagnostic conclusions were faulty, I believe that multiple experts, even those who may
|
| 154 |
+
now propose publication of the victims' names, would still come to a conclusion that the
|
| 155 |
+
plaintiff's suffered sexual abuse, and in some cases, multiple acts of ongoing abuse, at the
|
| 156 |
+
hands of Jeffery Epstein. Even without developing a subsequent disorder, there is much
|
| 157 |
+
clinical evidence and scientific literature showing likelihood of substantial psychiatric
|
| 158 |
+
harm to these sexually abused plaintiffs.
|
| 159 |
+
21. To form these conclusions, I have used my extensive experience in forming these
|
| 160 |
+
opinions. That experience is both as a treating child psychiatrist and separately as a
|
| 161 |
+
forensic psychiatrist. I have treated hundreds of minor patients, as well as additionally
|
| 162 |
+
evaluated hundreds of children and adolescents who have suffered sexual abuse. I have
|
| 163 |
+
made long term followups of many of the children and have treated many adults who
|
| 164 |
+
have been molested as adolescents. It is my opinion, with a reasonably high degree of
|
| 165 |
+
medical certainty that the defense motion to allow public disclosure of the plaintiffs'
|
| 166 |
+
identities is clinically and ethically a wrongful plan. The act of revealing their identities
|
| 167 |
+
against their wishes places the plaintiffs at risk, in the best of circumstances, of suffering
|
| 168 |
+
4
|

|
| 172 |
+
an aggravation of existing diagnostic concerns. It is more probable than not that releasing
|
| 173 |
+
personal identities will
|
| 174 |
+
an exacerbation and magnification of symptoms lending to
|
| 175 |
+
increased risk of revictimization and retraumatization.
|
| 176 |
+
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the
|
| 177 |
+
foregoing statements are true and correct, and that this declaration was executed at San

A.

+
Sixteen.
|
| 75 |
+
l. Which would have been -- what year was
|
| 76 |
+
that?
|
| 77 |
+
A. I think it was, I don't remember, but I
|
| 78 |
+
think it was when I was 16.
|
| 79 |
+
l. Let's see, you were a senior --
|
| 80 |
+
A.
|
| 81 |
+
A sophomore.
|
| 82 |
+
e.
|
| 83 |
+
-- you were 17 when you were a senior,
|
| 84 |
+
right?
|
| 85 |
+
A.
|
| 86 |
+
It might have been my sophomore or junior
|
| 87 |
+
year. I don't remember.
|
| 88 |
+
e.
|
| 89 |
+
Sophomore or junior year in high school?
|
| 90 |
+
A.
|
| 91 |
+
Yeah.
|
| 92 |
+
e. And where did you have that abortion?
|
| 93 |
+
A. I don't remember what the place was
|
| 94 |
+
called, The Pres -- Pres --
|
| 95 |
+
l. Presidential Women's Clinic?

$300, I think.
|
| 150 |
+
Was that the first time you were pregnant?
|
| 151 |
+
A. Yeah.
|
| 152 |
+
l. And would you agree with me, that age 16
|
| 153 |
+
to have to go have an abortion was traumatic to you?
|
| 154 |

MR. MERMELSTEIN: Objection to form.
|
| 155 |

THE WITNESS: Yeah.

You registered under your real name?

e.
|
| 213 |
+
A.
|
| 214 |

Who paid for it?
|
| 215 |
+
Now, I, I assume at some point in your
|
| 216 |
+
life somebody explained to you what birth control
|
| 217 |
+
A. Yeah.
|
| 218 |
+
l. After you aborted one child, didn't you
|
| 219 |
+
use birth control to keep from getting pregnant?
|
| 220 |
+
A. Yeah, I did. I was using birth control.
|
| 221 |
+
e. And so, obviously, if you had the baby,
|
| 222 |
+
your first baby if you were pregnant at 16 --
|
| 223 |
+
A. I wasn't using birth control then.
|
| 224 |
+
MR. MERMELSTEIN: How about letting him
|
| 225 |
+
finish. Let him finish.

|
| 26 |
+
Defendants Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn, Co-Executors of the Estate of Jeffrey
|
| 27 |
+
E. Epstein (the "Co-Executors")', respectfully submit this Statement On Plaintiff Jane Doe's
|
| 28 |
+
("Plaintiff") Application to Proceed Anonymously (ECF No. 31) (the "Application").
|
| 29 |
+
I. The Co-Executors Have Never Opposed The Right Of Alleged Victims To Maintain
|
| 30 |
+
Anonymity And Do Not Do So Here.
|
| 31 |
+
The Co-Executors have never sought to prevent any alleged victim of Mr. Epstein from
|
| 32 |
+
proceeding anonymously; they do not do so here. To the contrary, after Mr. Epstein's death, the
|
| 33 |
+
Co-Executors established and funded in its entirety the independently administered Epstein
|
| 34 |
+
Victims' Compensation Program, which gave Mr. Epstein's alleged victims the opportunity to
|
| 35 |
+
resolve their claims in complete confidence if they so desired.? The Program ultimately awarded
|
| 36 |
+
nearly $125 million to approximately 150 eligible claimants.?
|
| 37 |
+
Nevertheless,
|
| 38 |
+
in this unique situation, the Co-Executors have determined that it is
|
| 39 |
+
appropriate to bring to the Court's attention material facts not contained in Plaintiff's Application,
|
| 40 |
+
so that the Court can rule on it with the benefit of all relevant information, as follows: (1) Plaintiff
|
| 41 |
+
(2) Plaintiff has,
|
| 42 |
+
and (3) Plaintiff has
|
| 43 |
+
' The captions in Plaintiff's Notice of Motion to Proceed Anonymously (ECF No. 29), Memorandum of Law in
|
| 44 |
+
Support of Plaintiff's Application to Proceed Anonymously (ECF No. 31), and the Declaration of Daniel J. Kaiser
|
| 45 |
+
(ECF No. 30) list more than two dozen defendants who are not parties to this action. Plaintiff's Complaint (ECF No.
|
| 46 |
+
1), which has not been amended, was brought only against Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn, in their capacities
|
| 47 |
+
as executors of the Estate of Jeffrey E. Epstein. Accordingly, this Statement is filed on behalf of the Co-Executors
|
| 48 |
+
only.
|
| 49 |
+
2 No claimant who participated in the Program is bound by any rules of confidentiality—to the contrary, they are free
|
| 50 |
+
to tell their stories publicly.
|

proceed under a pseudonym, the Second Circuit considers at least ten non-exhaustive factors

PLAINTIFF JANE DOE'S MOTION TO COMPEL ANSWERS TO PLAINTFF'S FIRST
|
| 81 |
+
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION
|
| 82 |
+
Plaintiff Jane Doe, hereby moves this Court for an order compelling defendant,
|
| 83 |
+
Jeffrey Epstein, to answer her first request for production or, in the alternative, to prove
|
| 84 |
+
that his invocation of his Fifth Amendment privilege is proper. Jane Doe also requests
|
| 85 |
+
production of a privilege log.
|
| 86 |
+
Jane Doe has propounded 16 requests for production, including such
|
| 87 |
+
straightforward requests as requests for production of:
|
| 88 |
+

|
| 89 |

+
Case 9:09-cv-80656-KAM Document 38 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/10/2009 Page 5 of 16
|
| 92 |
+
Request No. 1: Copies of all telephone records;
|
| 93 |
+
Request No. 2: Photos of the inside of your home located at 358 El Brillo Way,
|
| 94 |
+
Palm Beach, Florida, that depict the rooms) where massages took place (including
|
| 95 |
+
massage table).
|
| 96 |
+
Request No. 10: Correspondence between Epstein and federal prosecutors;
|
| 97 |
+
Request No. 12: Personal tax returns;
|
| 98 |
+
Request No. 13: Photocopies of Epstein's passport;
|
| 99 |
+
Request No. 14: A statement of net worth; and
|
| 100 |
+
Request No. 16: Medical records.
|
| 101 |
+
In response to each and every one of these requests, Epstein has given the
|
| 102 |
+
following response (with only minor variations here and there):
|
| 103 |
+
Defendant is asserting his U.S. constitutional privileges. I intend to
|
| 104 |
+
respond to all relevant questions regarding this lawsuit, however, my
|
| 105 |
+
attorneys have counseled me that at the present time I cannot select
|
| 106 |
+
authenticate, and produce documents relevant to this lawsuit and I must
|
| 107 |
+
accept this advice or risk losing my Sixth Amendment right to effective
|
| 108 |
+
representation. Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights under
|
| 109 |
+
the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments as guaranteed by the United
|
| 110 |
+
States Constitution.
|
| 111 |
+
Drawing an adverse inference under these
|
| 112 |
+
circumstances would unconstitutionally burden my exercise of my
|
| 113 |
+
constitutional rights, would be unreasonable, and would therefore violate
|
| 114 |
+
the Constitution.
|
| 115 |
+
This Court should order Epstein to provide all of the requested information or, in
|
| 116 |
+
the alternative, prove that his Fifth Amendment invocations are valid. It is for the court,
|
| 117 |
+
not the claimant, to determine whether the hazard of incrimination is justified. United
|
| 118 |
+
States v. Argomaniz, 925 F.2d 1349, 1355 (11th Cir. 1991). "A court must make a
|
| 119 |
+
particularized inquiry, deciding, in connection with each specific area that the
|
| 120 |
+
5
|
| 121 |
+
|
| 122 |
+
|
| 123 |
+
Case 9:09-cv-80656-KAM Document 38 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/10/2009 Page 6 of 16
|
| 124 |
+
questioning party wishes to explore, whether or not the privilege is well-founded." Id.
|
| 125 |
+
Typically this is done in an in camera proceeding wherein the person asserting the
|
| 126 |
+
privilege is given the opportunity "to substantiate his claims of the privilege and the
|
| 127 |
+
district court is able to consider the questions asked and the documents requested by
|
| 128 |
+
the summons." Id.
|
| 129 |
+
Here Epstein has made boilerplate invocation of the Fifth Amendment to each
|
| 130 |
+
and every request propounded by Jane Doe, including for example the request for
|
| 131 |
+
correspondence with federal prosecutors and for production of federal tax returns. This
|
| 132 |
+
obviously is not a request with Fifth Amendment implications, as the information has
|
| 133 |
+
already been fully disclosed to the Government.
|
| 134 |
+
For all these reasons, the Court should compel Epstein to answer the requests or
|
| 135 |
+
provide a particularized justification for his Fifth Amendment invocation with regard to
|
| 136 |
+
each request.
|
| 137 |
+
Epstein's "cut and paste" response to the request for production also blatantly
|
| 138 |
+
disregards the requirements for invoking privilege under the Court's local rules. Local
|
| 139 |
+
rule 26.1.G very specifically requires the preparation of a privilege log with respect to all
|
| 140 |
+
documents and oral communications (among other things) that are withheld on the
|
| 141 |
+
basis of privilege. Epstein has failed to prepare such a log, making it impossible for
|
| 142 |
+
Jane Doe to effectively challenge his generic assertions. Indeed, with respect to a few
|
| 143 |
+
requests, Epstein has stated: "Further, the request may include information subject to
|
| 144 |
+
work product or an attorney-client privilege." Of course, the whole purpose of forcing a
|
| 145 |
+
defendant to prepare a privilege log is to force the defendant to decide whether or not
|
| 146 |
+
6
|
| 147 |
+
|
| 148 |
+
|
| 149 |
+
Case 9:09-cv-80656-KAM Document 38 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/10/2009 Page 7 of 16
|
| 150 |
+
information is privileged. An assertion that something "may" be privileged is obviously
|
| 151 |
+
woefully deficient. The Local Rules do not permit this tactic, and Epstein should be (at a
|
| 152 |
+
minimum) promptly required to produce a privilege log.
|
| 153 |
+
For all these reasons, the Court should compel Epstein to provide a privilege log
|
| 154 |
+
and to answer the interrogatories or provide a particularized justification for his Fifth
|
| 155 |
+
Amendment invocation with regard to each request.
|
| 156 |
+
It should be noted that (with minor exceptions) the only grounds on which Epstein
|
| 157 |
+
can refuse to answer the request for production is proof of a valid Fifth Amendment
|
| 158 |
+
privilege. This the only objection Epstein has asserted (with minor exceptions). As a
|
| 159 |
+
result, any other objections to production are deemed waived. See Local Rule
|
| 160 |
+
26.1G.3.(a) ("Any ground [for an objection] not stated in an objection within the time
|
| 161 |
+
provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or any extensions thereof, shall be
|
| 162 |
+
waived.").
|
| 163 |
+
SPECIFIC REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION
|
| 164 |
+
For the convenience of the court - and in compliance with Local Rule 26.1 H
|
| 165 |
+
(party filing motion to compel shall list specific requests in succession) - Jane Doe's

+
requests for production and Epstein's objections are as follows:

" Jane Doe does not intend to use these materials to draw a forbidden inference of guilt from the mere

| 402 |
+
fact of correspondence in connection with plea discussions, but rather for other purposes. These
|
| 403 |
+
naterials are also likely to lead to the discovery of other admissible evidence. To the extent that Epstein
|
| 404 |

relies on the non-prosecution agreement, nothing in that agreement bars discovery of information relevant

to this lawsuit.

* Jane Doe believes that Epstein used overseas travel as a means of obtaining underage girls for sexual
|
| 448 |
+
purposes and for avoiding criminal prosecution for such activities. Also, providing a copy of a passport is
|
| 449 |
+
hardly "burdensome." Also, given the fact that Epstein is likely to have used the services of a travel agent
|
| 450 |
+
or another intermediary, it should not be difficult for him to provide evidence of his overseas travels from
|
| 451 |
+
such intermediaries.

CONCLUSION
|
| 475 |
+
For all these reasons, the Court should compel Epstein to answer the request for
|
| 476 |
+
production, or provide a particularized justification for his Fifth Amendment invocation
|
| 477 |
+
with regard to each request. Epstein should also be required to provide a privilege log.

|
| 479 |
+
motion, and no resolution was possible.

MR.

: Good morning, Your Honor. Brad
|
| 68 |

on behalf of the petitioners. Petitioners
|
| 69 |

are also in the courtroom today. This petition is
|
| 70 |

styled on her behalf.

|
| 73 |
+
THE COURT: Good morning. All right. We're

|
| 76 |

+
21

+
rights as a victim under 18 USC 3771. I have
|
| 80 |
+
received the petition, the government's response and
|
| 81 |
+
the victim's reply, which was filed, I guess, this
|
| 82 |
+
morning. So, You want to proceed, counsel?.

MR.
|
| 98 |
+
: Your Honor, as a factual
|
| 99 |
+
background, Mr. Epstein is a billionaire that
|
| 100 |
+
sexually abused and molested dozens and dozens of
|
| 101 |
+
4
|
| 102 |
+
girls between the ages of 13 and 17 years old. And
|
| 103 |
+
5
|
| 104 |
+
6
|
| 105 |
+
through cooperating victims, that evidence can be
|
| 106 |
+
proven. Because of his deviant appetite for young
|
| 107 |
+
7
|
| 108 |
+
8
|
| 109 |
+
girls, combined with his extraordinary wealth and
|
| 110 |
+
power, he may just be the most dangerous
|
| 111 |
+
sexual
|
| 112 |
+
9
|
| 113 |
+
predator in U.S. history. This petitioner is one of
|
| 114 |
+
10
|
| 115 |
+
the victims and she is in attendance today. Another
|
| 116 |
+
11
|
| 117 |
+
one of Mr. Epstein's victims is also in attendance
|
| 118 |
+
12
|
| 119 |
+
13
|
| 120 |
+
today. She would be able to provide evidence that
|
| 121 |
+
she provided-- that Mr. Epstein paid her to provide
|
| 122 |
+
14
|
| 123 |
+
him over 50 girls for the purposes of him to
|
| 124 |
+
15
|
| 125 |
+
sexually abuse. Therefore, the undercurrents of the
|
| 126 |
+
16
|
| 127 |
+
petition are clear. The plea bargain that was
|
| 128 |
+
17
|
| 129 |
+
worked out for Mr. Epstein in light of the offenses
|
| 130 |
+
18 that he committed is clearly unfair to the point
|
| 131 |
+
19
|
| 132 |
+
that if anybody looks at the information, it is
|
| 133 |
+
20
|
| 134 |
+
unconscionable.
|
| 135 |
+
21
|
| 136 |
+
THE COURT: Well, I mean, is that for me?
|
| 137 |
+
22
|
| 138 |
+
That's not my role. That's the prosecutor's role to
|
| 139 |
+
23
|
| 140 |
+
apply, would it not? I can't force them to bring
|
| 141 |
+
24
|
| 142 |
+
criminal charges. What do I have to do with that.
|
| 143 |
+
25
|
| 144 |
+
MR.
|
| 145 |
+
: Okay.

THE COURT: That may be your opinion, that
|
| 176 |
+
may be your client's opinion, but I presume that the
|
| 177 |
+
government is aware that that's your client's
|
| 178 |
+
opinion. How does that change anything?
|
| 179 |
+
MR.
|
| 180 |
+
: That's my problem. I'm not
|
| 181 |
+
sure that the government is aware that is
|
| 182 |
+
petitioner's opinion and that's why we're here
|
| 183 |
+
today, just to enforce the victim's rights under 18
|
| 184 |
+
USC 3771, Crime Victims Rights Act, and all we are
|
| 185 |
+
asking is to order that the plea agreement that has
|
| 186 |
+
been negotiated in this case--
|
| 187 |
+
THE COURT: How do you know there is a plea
|
| 188 |
+
agreement? The plea agreement is with the State of
|
| 189 |
+
Florida, wasn't it?
|
| 190 |
+
MR.
|
| 191 |
+
: There was a state charge with
|
| 192 |
+
one victim that I'm aware of. And the plea
|
| 193 |
+
agreement as to that one victim was 18 months in the
|
| 194 |
+
county jail. But along with that, the Palm Beach
|
| 195 |
+
County Sheriff investigating this case was getting
|
| 196 |
+
no action out of the local authorities and sent this
|
| 197 |
+
to the FBI.
|
| 198 |
+
THE COURT: It was actually the Palm Beach--
|
| 199 |
+
Town of Palm Beach Police, not the Sheriff's Office.
|
| 200 |
+
MR.
|
| 201 |
+
: I'm sorry, Judge. And that's
|
| 202 |
+
why the FBI got involved because Michael Feeter
|
| 203 |
+
|
| 204 |
+
|
| 205 |
+

1
|
| 208 |

wrote a scathing letter to the State Attorney about
|
| 209 |
+
2
|
| 210 |
+
Mr. Epstein receiving preferencial treatment by
|
| 211 |
+
3
|
| 212 |
+
local authorities.
|
| 213 |
+
4
|
| 214 |
+
Before the FBI took the case, they went
|
| 215 |
+
5 behind the victim's back, and this is our motion,
|
| 216 |
+
6
|
| 217 |
+
without the victim's input and allowing her the
|
| 218 |
+

+
22
|
| 234 |
+
23
|
| 235 |
+
24
|
| 236 |
+
right to meaningfully confer with the government,
|
| 237 |
+
which is a right that she can assert at this time.
|
| 238 |
+
They worked out a plea deal where if Mr. Epstein
|
| 239 |
+
would plead to this other charge regarding another
|
| 240 |
+
victim in the state court case, they would agree to
|
| 241 |
+
not prosecute him for all of the federal charges of
|
| 242 |
+
what they were aware of in federal court..
|
| 243 |
+
THE COURT: So that's already apparently
|
| 244 |
+
taken place, correct?
|
| 245 |
+
MR.
|
| 246 |
+
: I don't know if it has taken
|
| 247 |
+
place. I'm not sure exactly what stage it is in. I
|
| 248 |
+
know it is supposed to be attached at some point in
|
| 249 |
+
time to a state court plea.
|
| 250 |
+
THE COURT: Hasn't he already plead guilty,
|
| 251 |
+
though?
|
| 252 |
+
25
|
| 253 |
+
MR.
|
| 254 |
+
: If he did plead guilty, it is
|
| 255 |
+
my understanding and belief that the agreement with
|
| 256 |
+
the federal government and with the U.S. Attorney's
|
| 257 |
+
Office wasn't signed on that day. So it is still my
|
| 258 |
+
|
| 259 |
+
|
| 260 |
+
Case 9:08-cV-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 6 of 32
|

6
|
| 262 |
+
1
|
| 263 |
+
belief, I could be wrong, but that that agreement
|
| 264 |
+
2
|
| 265 |
+
hasn't been completed as of this time.
|
| 266 |
+
3
|
| 267 |
+
THE COURT: So let's assume it hasn't been
|
| 268 |
+
4
|
| 269 |
+
completed.
|
| 270 |
+
5
|
| 271 |
+
MR.
|
| 272 |
+
: Okay. Then petitioner would
|
| 273 |
+
6
|
| 274 |
+
like the right to confer with--
|
| 275 |
+
7
|
| 276 |
+
THE COURT: You can go in the conference
|
| 277 |
+
8
|
| 278 |
+
room. We've got the FBI agents, you've got the
|
| 279 |
+
9 assigned prosecuting attorney. You have got a
|
| 280 |
+
10 conference room. You've got your client. Go and
|
| 281 |
+
11
|
| 282 |
+
talk. Confer. And then it is up government to
|
| 283 |
+
12
|
| 284 |
+
decide what to do, correct?
|
| 285 |
+
13
|
| 286 |
+
MR.
|
| 287 |
+
: In a way, Your Honor, that's
|
| 288 |
+
14
|
| 289 |
+
very similar to what happened in In Re: |
|
| 290 |
+
and PB
|
| 291 |
+
15
|
| 292 |
+
case where there is a plea agreement negotiated and
|
| 293 |
+
16
|
| 294 |
+
then the victim gets the right to confer.
|
| 295 |
+
17
|
| 296 |
+
THE COURT: It's already negotiated. What
|
| 297 |
+
18
|
| 298 |
+
am I supposed to do?
|
| 299 |
+
19
|
| 300 |
+
MR.
|
| 301 |
+
: Order that the agreement that
|
| 302 |
+
20
|
| 303 |
+
was negotiated is invalid and it is illegal as it
|
| 304 |
+
21
|
| 305 |
+
did not pertain to the rights of the victim.
|
| 306 |
+
22
|
| 307 |
+
THE COURT: I can order you into the
|
| 308 |
+
23
|
| 309 |
+
conference room. Then the government can do what it
|
| 310 |
+
24
|
| 311 |
+
chooses. It can agree to prosecute or it can agree
|
| 312 |
+
25
|
| 313 |
+
to going forward with the agreement it had already
|
| 314 |
+

+
reached and after consulting your client and in
|
| 344 |
+
taking into consideration your client's views,
|
| 345 |
+
decide to go forward anyway. I can't make them
|
| 346 |
+
prosecute him. I can't-- All I can do is, at best,
|
| 347 |
+
say confer with the victim, consider the victim's
|
| 348 |
+
input before you make a decision or reconsider the
|
| 349 |
+
decision you already made in view of the victim's
|
| 350 |
+
input, if it is possible for you to do that.
|
| 351 |
+
So if
|
| 352 |
+
I invalidate the agreement, what's the best you can
|
| 353 |
+
get? The right to confer?
|
| 354 |
+
MR.
|
| 355 |
+
: Exactly. That is all we can.
|
| 356 |
+
THE COURT: So why can't you go into the
|
| 357 |
+
conference room now, take as much time as you feel
|
| 358 |
+
you need and confer?
|
| 359 |
+
MR.
|
| 360 |
+
: Judge, at this time I'd like to
|
| 361 |
+
move ore tenus to add the victim that's in the
|
| 362 |
+
courtroom to this conference with the U.S.
|
| 363 |
+
Attorney's Office.
|
| 364 |

THE COURT: So is that Jane Doe 2 for

| 365 |

purposes of this?
|
| 366 |

MR.

| 367 |
+
: Exactly, Your Honor.
|
| 368 |
+
THE COURT: All right. Let me hear from the
|
| 369 |
+
government then.
|
| 370 |
+
MR. LEE:. Good morning, Your Honor. May it
|
| 371 |
+
please the Court.

|
| 399 |
+
25
|
| 400 |
+
Let me update the Court on the status of
|
| 401 |
+
various matters.
|
| 402 |
+
The agreement to defer prosecution
|
| 403 |
+
to the State of Florida was signed and completed by
|
| 404 |
+
December of 2007. Mr. Epstein's attorneys saught a
|
| 405 |
+
higher review within the Department of Justice and
|
| 406 |
+
it took a number of months for that to come to
|
| 407 |
+
fruition. When it came to fruition, he ended up
|
| 408 |
+
pleading guilty on June 30, 2008 to two charges in
|
| 409 |
+
state court, and he was sentenced to a term of
|
| 410 |
+
incarceration of 18 months, with another 12 months
|
| 411 |
+
of community control after the completion of his
|
| 412 |
+
sentence, and he is currently incarcerated as we
|
| 413 |
+
speak.
|
| 414 |
+
We have two arguments, Your Honor. First,
|
| 415 |
+
insofar as the right that they claim under
|
| 416 |
+
3771 (a) (5), their right to confer in the case, we
|
| 417 |
+
respectfully submit that there was no case in
|
| 418 |
+
federal court and, indeed, none was contemplated if
|
| 419 |
+
the plea agreement was to be successfully completed,
|
| 420 |
+
since it contemplated the State of Florida sentence
|
| 421 |
+
on the criminal charges. So as long as certain
|
| 422 |
+
conditions were met and certain federal interests
|
| 423 |
+
were vindicated, the federal government was
|
| 424 |
+
satisfied that this was an appropriate disposition.
|
| 425 |
+
Insofar as the best effort, Your Honor, we
|
| 426 |
+
|
| 427 |
+
|
| 428 |
+
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 9 of 32
|
| 429 |
+
9
|
| 430 |
+
1
|
| 431 |
+
have cited the Attorney General's guidelines.
|
| 432 |
+
The
|
| 433 |
+
2
|
| 434 |
+
guidelines do say that you should normally advise
|
| 435 |
+
3
|
| 436 |
+
victims of plea negotiations and the terms of the
|
| 437 |
+
4
|
| 438 |
+
plea, but they recognize that there are times when
|
| 439 |
+
5
|
| 440 |
+
they may not be appropriate or could cause some harm
|
| 441 |
+
6
|
| 442 |
+
or prejudice, and they set out six factors which are
|
| 443 |
+
7
|
| 444 |
+
to be considered, non-exhaustive factors.
|
| 445 |
+
8
|
| 446 |
+
we have advised, in the declaration of AUSA
|
| 447 |
+
9 Villafana that when the subject of having Mr.
|
| 448 |
+
10
|
| 449 |
+
Epstein concede that he would be convicted of an
|
| 450 |
+
11
|
| 451 |
+
enumerated offense for purposes of a cause of action
|
| 452 |
+
12
|
| 453 |
+
13
|
| 454 |
+
under 18 USC 2255, there was a rather strenuous
|
| 455 |
+
objection from Mr. Epstein's counsel that the
|
| 456 |
+
14
|
| 457 |
+
15
|
| 458 |
+
federal government was inducing some effort to
|
| 459 |
+
either fabricate claims, enhance claims or embellish
|
| 460 |
+
16
|
| 461 |
+
claims and if this agreement ultimately could not be
|
| 462 |
+
17
|
| 463 |
+
18
|
| 464 |
+
consumated, then we'd have a federal prosecution on
|
| 465 |
+
our hands, and we did not want to be in a positin of
|
| 466 |
+
19
|
| 467 |
+
creating additional impeachment material.
|
| 468 |
+
20
|
| 469 |
+
I can't say that the stand by Mr.
|
| 470 |
+
21
|
| 471 |
+
that the arguments of inducement in a subsequent
|
| 472 |
+
22 civil action can be made by any criminal victim,
|
| 473 |
+
23
|
| 474 |
+
that is true. It is another thing for that
|
| 475 |
+
24
|
| 476 |
+
inducement to have come before the prosecution
|
| 477 |
+
25
|
| 478 |
+
arguing about the credibility and veracity of the
|
| 479 |
+
|
| 480 |
+
|
| 481 |
+
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 10 of 32
|
| 482 |
+
10
|
| 483 |
+
1
|
| 484 |
+
individual. That was a considerably strong point, in
|
| 485 |
+
2
|
| 486 |
+
essence,
|
| 487 |
+
in not discussing those terms with the
|
| 488 |
+
3
|
| 489 |
+
victims as might ordinarily be done if those
|
| 490 |
+
4
|
| 491 |
+
considerations did not exist.
|
| 492 |
+
5
|
| 493 |
+
So, first, Your Honor, we believe that
|
| 494 |
+
6
|
| 495 |
+
3771 (a) (5) does not apply.
|
| 496 |
+
7
|
| 497 |
+
THE COURT:
|
| 498 |
+
Well, what about the language in
|
| 499 |
+
8
|
| 500 |
+
the statute that suggests that a victim can bring a
|
| 501 |
+
9 claim or seek enforcement of his or her rights under
|
| 502 |
+
10 the statute before a case is filed? What does that
|
| 503 |
+
11 refer to?
|
| 504 |
+
12
|
| 505 |
+
MR. LEE: Your Honor, we believe that's a
|
| 506 |
+
13
|
| 507 |
+
venue provision essentially telling an individual if
|
| 508 |
+
14
|
| 509 |
+
there is no exigent case, there is no case of United
|
| 510 |
+
15
|
| 511 |
+
States versus So And So, then you seek to enforce
|
| 512 |
+
16
|
| 513 |
+
your rights, then you can go in and do so in the did
|
| 514 |
+
17
|
| 515 |
+
18
|
| 516 |
+
court where the offense occurred. This is not
|
| 517 |
+
saying, necessarily, that rights exist, but if you
|
| 518 |
+
19
|
| 519 |
+
20
|
| 520 |
+
believe they exist, here is the place where you're
|
| 521 |
+
going to have to lodge it, and the Court will have
|
| 522 |
+
21
|
| 523 |
+
to decide.
|
| 524 |
+
22
|
| 525 |
+
Now, there are certain of the eight rights
|
| 526 |
+
23
|
| 527 |

accorded in 3771(a) that could come up before any
|
| 528 |
+
24
|
| 529 |
+
25
|
| 530 |
+
charge is filed. For instance, let's say somebody
|
| 531 |
+
believes that the perpetrator of the crime is going

| 532 |
+
|
| 533 |
+
|
| 534 |
+

|
| 535 |
+
11
|
| 536 |
+
to try to harm them or threatened them or
|
| 537 |
+
intimidated them into not testifying or cooperating
|
| 538 |
+
3 with the government and, of course, no indictment
|
| 539 |
+
4
|
| 540 |
+
has been returned. If an individual went to the
|
| 541 |
+
5
|
| 542 |
+
government and believed that the individual had not
|
| 543 |
+
6
|
| 544 |
+
7
|
| 545 |
+
8
|
| 546 |
+
acted appropriately, they can go to the district
|
| 547 |
+
court and say I need to have my rights under
|
| 548 |
+
3771 (a) (1) enforced because those people are
|
| 549 |
+
9 threatening me, and the government hasn't done
|
| 550 |
+
10 enough. That would be a situation.
|
| 551 |
+
11
|
| 552 |
+
But we're talking really here about (a) (5),
|
| 553 |
+
12
|
| 554 |
+
which is the right to consult in the case and we
|
| 555 |
+
13
|
| 556 |
+
respectfully submit that there is not case until a
|
| 557 |
+
14
|
| 558 |
+
charge has been filed.
|
| 559 |
+
15

THE COURT: So, what about the circuit case
|
| 567 |
+
that was actually pending case had to do with a plea
|
| 568 |
+
agreement in a pending case?
|
| 569 |
+
MR. LEE: Yes. The distinction between the
|
| 570 |
+
case and the instant case, Your Honor, is
|
| 571 |
+
this. In
|
| 572 |
+
, they had negotiated with BP
|
| 573 |
+
Petroleum for a plea and it was always contemplated
|
| 574 |
+
22
|
| 575 |
+
23
|
| 576 |
+
24
|
| 577 |
+
25
|
| 578 |
+
that there was going to be a federal prosecution.
|
| 579 |
+
The distinction in this case was that there was
|
| 580 |
+
already a pending state prosecution and the
|
| 581 |
+
objective for both sides was to keep it in state
|
| 582 |
+
|
| 583 |
+
|
| 584 |
+
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 12 of 32
|
| 585 |
+
12
|
| 586 |
+
1
|
| 587 |
+
court and the federal government's objective was to
|
| 588 |
+
2
|
| 589 |
+
ensure that there were sufficient safeguards in the
|
| 590 |
+
3
|
| 591 |
+
state court proceedings and concessions made by Mr.
|
| 592 |
+
4
|
| 593 |
+
Epstein so that federal interests, particularly a
|
| 594 |
+
5
|
| 595 |
+
cause of action for damages for the victims of the
|
| 596 |
+
6
|
| 597 |
+
sexual exploitation could be preserved. So that's
|
| 598 |
+
7
|
| 599 |
+
the key distinction because there was no federal
|
| 600 |
+
8
|
| 601 |
+
case, there was no federal criminal charge
|
| 602 |
+
9
|
| 603 |
+
contemplate so long as the agreement could be
|
| 604 |
+
10 reached.
|
| 605 |
+
11
|
| 606 |
+
THE COURT: All right. So they want me to
|
| 607 |
+
12
|
| 608 |
+
invalidate your non-prosecution agreement.
|
| 609 |
+
13
|
| 610 |
+
MR. LEE: Your Honor, we respectfully submit
|
| 611 |
+
14
|
| 612 |
+
that 3771 does not grant authority of this Court to
|
| 613 |
+
15
|
| 614 |
+
do so. In the
|
| 615 |
+
case, for instance, Your Honor,
|
| 616 |
+
16
|
| 617 |
+
there was a plea agreement that was entered into and
|
| 618 |
+
17
|
| 619 |
+
18
|
| 620 |
+
district court, of course, entertained a plea
|
| 621 |
+
agreement and exercised its judicial discretion in
|
| 622 |
+
19
|
| 623 |
+
terms of whether to accept it or not. The victims
|
| 624 |
+
20
|
| 625 |
+
were encouraged to go to district court and say, you
|
| 626 |
+
21
|
| 627 |
+
know, we didn't hear about this. We should have,
|
| 628 |
+
22
|
| 629 |
+
and we object to it for the following reasons. The
|
| 630 |
+
23
|
| 631 |
+
district court take that into account. There is no
|
| 632 |
+
24
|
| 633 |
+
plea agreement before this Court. There will be no
|
| 634 |
+
25
|
| 635 |
+
plea proceedings in this court. That was all done
|
| 636 |
+
|
| 637 |
+
|
| 638 |
+
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 13 of 32
|
| 639 |
+
13
|
| 640 |
+
1
|
| 641 |
+
in state court several weeks ago. So that's another
|
| 642 |
+
2
|
| 643 |
+
basis for distinguishing
|
| 644 |
+
3
|
| 645 |
+
THE COURT: All right. So is there any
|
| 646 |
+
4
|
| 647 |
+
point in conferring with these victims?
|
| 648 |
+
5
|
| 649 |
+
MR. LEE: Your Honor, I will always confer,
|
| 650 |
+
6
|
| 651 |
+
7
|
| 652 |
+
sit down with Jane Doe 1 and 2, with the two agents
|
| 653 |
+
and Ms. Villafana. We'll be happy to sit down with
|
| 654 |
+
8
|
| 655 |
+
them.
|
| 656 |
+
9
|
| 657 |
+
THE COURT: But it wouldn't make any
|
| 658 |
+
10 difference in terms of the outcome. Would maybe
|
| 659 |
+
11
|
| 660 |
+
give them the benefit of your explanation of why you
|
| 661 |
+
12
|
| 662 |
+
did what you did and why you came to the conclusion
|
| 663 |
+
13 you did, but it is not going to change your decision
|
| 664 |
+
14 in any way.
|
| 665 |
+
15
|
| 666 |
+
MR. LEE: If it is going to change, it would
|
| 667 |
+
16
|
| 668 |
+
have to be done at a level higher than mine, your
|
| 669 |
+
17 Honor.
|
| 670 |
+
18
|
| 671 |
+
THE COURT: What was-- I didn't understand
|
| 672 |
+
19
|
| 673 |
+
your statement earlier that Mr. Epstein wanted some
|
| 674 |
+
20 kind of review of higher authority within the
|
| 675 |
+
21
|
| 676 |
+
Department in terms of whether or not the federal
|
| 677 |
+
22
|
| 678 |
+
23
|
| 679 |
+
24
|
| 680 |
+
25
|
| 681 |
+
government was going to insist on preserving any
|
| 682 |
+
civil claims.
|
| 683 |
+
MR. LEE: Your Honor, of the agreement was
|
| 684 |
+
consumated by the parties in December of 2007. Mr.
|
| 685 |
+
|
| 686 |
+
|
| 687 |
+

14
|

|
| 690 |

Epstein's attorneys wanted a further review of the

| 691 |
+
2
|
| 692 |
+
agreement higher up within the Department of Justice
|
| 693 |
+
3
|
| 694 |
+
and they exercised their ability to do that.
|
| 695 |
+
4
|
| 696 |
+
THE COURT:
|
| 697 |
+
Meaning? Again, I'm trying to
|
| 698 |
+
5
|
| 699 |
+
understand. He wasn't happy with the agreement that
|
| 700 |
+
he had signed?
|
| 701 |
+
7
|
| 702 |
+
MR. LEE: Basically, yes. And was trying to
|
| 703 |
+
8
|
| 704 |
+
maintain that the agreement should be set aside or
|
| 705 |
+
9
|
| 706 |
+
more favorable terms.
|
| 707 |
+
10
|
| 708 |
+
THE COURT: Now, in terms of -- You don't
|
| 709 |
+
11 dispute that Jane Doe 1 and 2-- First of all, do you
|
| 710 |
+
12
|
| 711 |
+
have an objection to Jane Doe 2 being added as a
|
| 712 |
+
13
|
| 713 |
+
petitioner in this case?
|
| 714 |
+
14
|
| 715 |
+
MR. LEE: No, I don't.
|
| 716 |
+
15
|
| 717 |
+
THE COURT: I'll grant that request.
|
| 718 |
+
16
|
| 719 |
+
You don't dispute that they're victims
|
| 720 |
+
17
|
| 721 |
+
within the meaning of the Act.
|
| 722 |
+
18
|
| 723 |
+
MR. LEE: It depends to which -- There is one
|
| 724 |
+
19
|
| 725 |
+
20
|
| 726 |
+
Jane Doe-- Well, there is one individual who is one
|
| 727 |
+
of Mr.
|
| 728 |
+
' clients who we do not believe to
|
| 729 |
+
21
|
| 730 |
+
been a victim. If these are SN and CW, then we have
|
| 731 |
+
22
|
| 732 |
+
no objection and I can discuss-- If I may have a
|
| 733 |
+
23
|
| 734 |
+
moment, Your Honor.
|
| 735 |
+
24
|
| 736 |
+
Your Honor, thank you. I have been
|
| 737 |
+
25
|
| 738 |
+
corrected. We have no objection.

THE COURT: |
|
| 761 |
+
Okay.
|
| 762 |
+
MR. LEE: We agree they're victims.
|
| 763 |
+
THE COURT: Now, what is your position,
|
| 764 |
+
then, regarding the right of a victim of a crime
|
| 765 |
+
that is potentially subject to federal prosecution
|
| 766 |
+
to be, to have input with the prosecutor, your
|
| 767 |
+
office, before a resolution or decision not to
|
| 768 |
+
prosecute is made? Do you say that there is no
|
| 769 |
+
right to confer under those circumstances because
|
| 770 |
+
there is no "case pending" so any decision not to
|
| 771 |
+
prosecute, there is no right to confer but that
|
| 772 |
+
right to confer only is triggered once there is an
|
| 773 |
+
indictment or an information filed?
|
| 774 |
+
MR. LEE: That is correct, Your Honor. The
|
| 775 |
+
Attorney General guidelines which were published in
|
| 776 |
+
May of 2005 provide that the rights in 3771(a) (1
|
| 777 |
+
through 8) accrue when a charge is filed in federal
|
| 778 |
+
18
|
| 779 |
+
court. Now, that my change after the I
|
| 780 |
+
19
|
| 781 |
+
decision. It is under consideration. But that's
|
| 782 |
+
20 the government's position.
|
| 783 |
+
21
|
| 784 |
+
THE COURT: Al1 right. And so -- Are you
|
| 785 |
+
22 saying all of the rights--
|
| 786 |
+
23
|
| 787 |
+
24
|
| 788 |
+
25
|
| 789 |
+
MR. LEE: Your Honor, some of the rights
|
| 790 |
+
clearly will only pertain after a charge has been
|
| 791 |
+
filed. The one that pertains to notice of public
|
| 792 |
+
|
| 793 |
+
|

+
hearing, public proceedings, though, can't apply
|
| 822 |
+
until there are public proceedings to be had.
|
| 823 |
+
Of course, these guidelines are a floor and
|
| 824 |
+
not a ceiling. They're to be applied with common
|
| 825 |
+
sense.
|
| 826 |
+
If somebody-- If charges of assault were
|
| 827 |
+
being investigated and somebody would come in and
|
| 828 |
+
say the perpetrator whom you're investigating is
|
| 829 |
+
getting ready to indict has been threatening me,
|
| 830 |
+
following me, and I need help because he or she is
|
| 831 |
+
going to do something bad to me and try to take care
|
| 832 |
+
of me before I can testify in the grand jury, this
|
| 833 |
+
person would not be turned away because a charge
|
| 834 |
+
hasn't been filed yet. Those guidelines would be
|
| 835 |
+
applied with common sense.
|
| 836 |
+
But specifically insofar as a (a) (5), which
|
| 837 |
+
is the right to consult with the attorney for the
|
| 838 |
+
government in the case, that would not accrue until
|
| 839 |
+
there is a days. And, in our view, a case doesn't
|
| 840 |
+
come into being until charges are filed.
|
| 841 |
+
THE COURT: And are there any reported
|
| 842 |
+
decisions that you are aware of where any court has
|
| 843 |
+
found a right to confer before charges are filed?
|
| 844 |
+
MR. LEE: I'm not aware of any, Your Honor.
|
| 845 |
+
THE COURT: All right. Thank you.
|
| 846 |
+
MR. LEE: Thank you, Your Honor.

decision. They're asking you that you

THE COURT: As I understand the plea deal, it
|
| 891 |
+
was negotiated prior to charges being filed. Then
|
| 892 |
+
there was a filed case and then the court had the
|
| 893 |
+
ability to accept the plea or not. And at that
|
| 894 |
+
point, you would have the ability to entertain or
|
| 895 |
+
assert an objection because you weren't consulted
|
| 896 |
+
about the plea.
|
| 897 |
+
So there was a proceeding or case in which
|
| 898 |
+
you can assert a right to confer. How do you do
|
| 899 |
+
that before a case is filed? How do you enforce the
|
| 900 |
+
government or force the government to consult about
|
| 901 |
+
not filing a case? Every case they have to consult
|
| 902 |
+
with the victim before they decide not to prosecute?
|
| 903 |
+
MR.
|
| 904 |
+
: No, there are limitations. I
|
| 905 |
+
think in my reply I refer to the case of U.S. V.
|
| 906 |
+
|
| 907 |

|

18
|
| 910 |
+
1
|
| 911 |
+
Rubin where they discussed that very scenario
|
| 912 |
+
2
|
| 913 |
+
stating there at least has to be criminal charges
|
| 914 |
+
3
|
| 915 |
+
contemplate by the government before these rights
|
| 916 |
+
4
|
| 917 |
+
kick in.
|
| 918 |
+
The rights under (d) (3) and (a) (5), the
|
| 919 |
+
5
|
| 920 |
+
right to confer and the
|
| 921 |
+
case clearly states
|
| 922 |
+
6
|
| 923 |
+
7
|
| 924 |
+
clearly rights under the CBRA apply before
|
| 925 |
+
prosecution is under way. Logically, this includes
|
| 926 |
+
8
|
| 927 |
+
the CBRA establishments of a victim's reasonable
|
| 928 |
+
9 right to confer with the attorney for the
|
| 929 |
+
10
|
| 930 |
+
government. And, that's read in the plain reading
|
| 931 |
+
11 of the statutes as well.
|
| 932 |
+
12
|
| 933 |
+
This first case in interpreting it, I think
|
| 934 |
+
13
|
| 935 |
+
14
|
| 936 |
+
it's pretty clear the distinction they're making
|
| 937 |
+
between BP and this case. Is it a distinction
|
| 938 |
+
15
|
| 939 |
+
16
|
| 940 |
+
withoug a real difference in that the court is
|
| 941 |
+
saying you have this right before the case is filed
|
| 942 |
+
17
|
| 943 |
+
which is exactly what we are saying. And the result
|
| 944 |
+
18 in that case was they filed the case, later let him
|
| 945 |
+
19
|
| 946 |
+
plea out to some sweet deal. And in this case, what
|
| 947 |
+
20
|
| 948 |
+
we have is they avoid that by deciding not to file.
|
| 949 |
+
21
|
| 950 |
+
Either way, you deprive the victim of their right
|
| 951 |
+
22
|
| 952 |
+
before making that decision.
|
| 953 |
+
23
|
| 954 |
+
And the main problem that the court had in
|
| 955 |
+
24
|
| 956 |
+
, as it states, the victims do have rights when
|
| 957 |
+
25
|
| 958 |
+
there is an impact and the eventual sent is
|
| 959 |
+
|
| 960 |
+
|
| 961 |
+

substantially less. Whereas here, their input is
|
| 965 |
+
2
|
| 966 |
+
received after the parties have reached a tentative
|
| 967 |
+
3
|
| 968 |
+
deal. Well, the government just stated the deal was
|
| 969 |
+
4
|
| 970 |
+
reached back in October of 2007. However, attached
|
| 971 |
+
5
|
| 972 |
+
to their response is a letter to my client
|
| 973 |
+
6
|
| 974 |
+
petitioner, dated January 10, 2008, after the time
|
| 975 |
+
7
|
| 976 |
+
then counsel just put on the record that the deal
|
| 977 |
+
8
|
| 978 |
+
was already finalized and it starts, the opening
|
| 979 |
+
9 paragraph talks about whether they wanted the
|
| 980 |
+
10 victims to have the right to confer. It says, this
|
| 981 |
+
11
|
| 982 |
+
case is currently under investigation. This is
|
| 983 |
+
12
|
| 984 |
+
January 2008. This case has been a lengthy process
|
| 985 |
+
13
|
| 986 |
+
and we request your continued patience while we
|
| 987 |
+
14
|
| 988 |
+
conduct a thorough investigation. Sounds like the
|
| 989 |
+
15
|
| 990 |
+
exact opposite of, we want you to come in and confer
|
| 991 |
+
16
|
| 992 |
+
and let us know what you really feel about this.
|
| 993 |
+
17
|
| 994 |
+
That is our biggest problem with what has
|
| 995 |
+
18 happened here, is that she just wasn't given a voice
|
| 996 |
+
19
|
| 997 |
+
and if somebody would have heard her, we believe
|
| 998 |
+
20
|
| 999 |
+
there would have been a different outcome. To go
|
| 1000 |
+
21
|
| 1001 |
+
back into a room right now and talk, after there has
|
| 1002 |
+
22
|
| 1003 |
+
already been a plea negotiated without Your Honor
|
| 1004 |
+
23
|
| 1005 |
+
ordering that in this case the plea deal needs to be
|
| 1006 |
+
24
|
| 1007 |
+
25
|
| 1008 |
+
vacated, it is illegal and give her her rights.
|
| 1009 |
+
THE COURT: Well, would you agree or not
|
| 1010 |
+
|
| 1011 |
+
|
| 1012 |
+

3
|
| 1016 |
+
that Mr. Epstein plead guilty to the state charges
|
| 1017 |
+
probably at least, in part, in reliance upon the
|
| 1018 |
+
fact that he had an agreement with the federal
|
| 1019 |
+
4
|
| 1020 |
+
government they weren't going to prosecute? would
|
| 1021 |
+
5
|
| 1022 |
+
you concede that or would would present evidence to
|
| 1023 |
+
6
|
| 1024 |
+
that effect?
|
| 1025 |
+
7
|
| 1026 |
+
MR.
|
| 1027 |
+
: Of course we would. Yes, of
|
| 1028 |
+
8
|
| 1029 |
+
course. Sure.
|
| 1030 |
+
9
|
| 1031 |
+
THE COURT: So you agree that Mr. Epstein is
|
| 1032 |
+
10 now sitting in the Palm Beach County Jail a
|
| 1033 |
+
11
|
| 1034 |
+
12
|
| 1035 |
+
13
|
| 1036 |
+
convicted felon serving 18 months of imprisonment,
|
| 1037 |
+
at least in material part, because he relied upon
|
| 1038 |
+
the government's non-prosecution agreement?
|
| 1039 |
+
14
|
| 1040 |
+
MR.
|
| 1041 |
+
: Yes. I agree that he is sitting
|
| 1042 |
+
15
|
| 1043 |
+
there because he is guilty and maybe he took the
|
| 1044 |
+
16
|
| 1045 |
+
plea rather than going to trial and being found
|
| 1046 |
+
17
|
| 1047 |
+
18
|
| 1048 |
+
19
|
| 1049 |
+
20
|
| 1050 |
+
21
|
| 1051 |
+
22
|
| 1052 |
+
23
|
| 1053 |
+
24
|
| 1054 |
+
guilty later in part because of this non-prosecution
|
| 1055 |
+
agreement that was worked out behind the other
|
| 1056 |
+
victims' backs. I would agree with that.
|
| 1057 |
+
THE COURT: So he accepted the State's deal
|
| 1058 |
+
in part because he knew he had an agreement from the
|
| 1059 |
+
federal government that they weren't going to
|
| 1060 |
+
prosecute.
|
| 1061 |
+
MR.
|
| 1062 |
+
: I presume. I speculate that is
|
| 1063 |
+
25
|
| 1064 |
+
true.

1
|
| 1070 |
+
THE COURT:
|
| 1071 |
+
So you want me now, then, to set
|
| 1072 |
+
2
|
| 1073 |
+
aside the government's agreement with him because
|
| 1074 |
+
3
|
| 1075 |
+
4
|
| 1076 |
+
there was no conferring, yet he has already accepted
|
| 1077 |
+
a plea agreement and is sitting in custody, in part,
|
| 1078 |
+
in reliance on that agreement. I mean, I can undo
|
| 1079 |
+
6
|
| 1080 |
+
the agreement in your theory, but how do I-- Mr.
|
| 1081 |
+
7
|
| 1082 |
+
Epstein, in a sense, would then be adversely
|
| 1083 |
+
8
|
| 1084 |
+
affected by my actions when he acted in reliance
|
| 1085 |
+
9 upon the agreement. How does that work?
|
| 1086 |
+
10
|
| 1087 |
+
11
|
| 1088 |
+
MR.
|
| 1089 |
+
: Certainly, we're only asking
|
| 1090 |
+
you to vacate the agreement. I understand and your
|
| 1091 |
+
12
|
| 1092 |
+
point is well taken. And I believe that at that
|
| 1093 |
+
13
|
| 1094 |
+
point in time his rights may kick in and say, wait,
|
| 1095 |
+
14 I was relying on this other deal so I wouldn't be
|
| 1096 |
+
15
|
| 1097 |
+
prosecuted for these hundreds of other girls that I
|
| 1098 |
+
16
|
| 1099 |
+
molested; that I plead guilty over here to the one
|
| 1100 |
+
17
|
| 1101 |
+
18
|
| 1102 |
+
19
|
| 1103 |
+
20
|
| 1104 |
+
21
|
| 1105 |
+
22
|
| 1106 |
+
23
|
| 1107 |
+
girl that I will admit to molesting. So maybe I can
|
| 1108 |
+
get to withdraw my plea. But the last thing he wants
|
| 1109 |
+
to do because if he ends up going to trial, I'll be
|
| 1110 |
+
in prison for the rest of his life like any other
|
| 1111 |
+
person who ever did this crime would be. He could
|
| 1112 |
+
have that argument, I guess, but still wouldn't
|
| 1113 |
+
really work well for him.
|
| 1114 |
+
24
|
| 1115 |
+
25
|
| 1116 |
+
THE COURT: All right. So you still think I
|
| 1117 |
+
should set aside the agreement, require the
|
| 1118 |

+

22

government to confer?

+
2
|
| 1125 |
+
3
|
| 1126 |
+
MR.
|
| 1127 |
+
: Work out a plea negotiation
|
| 1128 |
+
commensorate with the crimes that he committed and
|
| 1129 |
+
4
|
| 1130 |
+
that are favorable after they confer with the
|
| 1131 |
+
5
|
| 1132 |
+
victims. And it is within their discretion. Of
|
| 1133 |
+
6
|
| 1134 |
+
course, they can decide on their own that, hey, I
|
| 1135 |
+
7
|
| 1136 |
+
think that the agreement was fair after they have
|
| 1137 |
+
8
|
| 1138 |
+
talked with the victims.
|
| 1139 |
+
That could happen. I
|
| 1140 |
+
9
|
| 1141 |
+
don't know if a reasonable person that would do
|
| 1142 |
+
10 that, but it could happen.
|
| 1143 |
+
11
|
| 1144 |
+
12
|
| 1145 |
+
THE COURT: Apparently, you are not
|
| 1146 |
+
suggesting that that these person are not
|
| 1147 |
+
13
|
| 1148 |
+
reasonable.
|
| 1149 |
+
14
|
| 1150 |
+
15
|
| 1151 |
+
16
|
| 1152 |
+
MR.
|
| 1153 |
+
: I'm suggesting they haven't
|
| 1154 |
+
conferred with the victims and that if they took
|
| 1155 |
+
into consideration what these two in the courtroom
|
| 1156 |
+
17
|
| 1157 |
+
18
|
| 1158 |
+
19
|
| 1159 |
+
20
|
| 1160 |
+
21
|
| 1161 |
+
22
|
| 1162 |
+
23
|
| 1163 |
+
24
|
| 1164 |
+
25
|
| 1165 |
+
have to say, I don't think that we'd be in this same
|
| 1166 |
+
position right now.
|
| 1167 |
+
THE COURT: They have never spoken to your
|
| 1168 |
+
client about what happened to them?
|
| 1169 |
+
MR.
|
| 1170 |
+
: They have spoken to them about
|
| 1171 |
+
what happened. Maybe not about what the girls
|
| 1172 |
+
wanted to happen as a result of this case, which is
|
| 1173 |
+
part of conferring to decide that these girls wanted
|
| 1174 |
+
money on their own, which is basically what this--
|
| 1175 |
+
|
| 1176 |
+
|
| 1177 |
+
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 23 of 32
|
| 1178 |
+
23
|
| 1179 |
+
1
|
| 1180 |
+
this non-prosecution agreement entails that has
|
| 1181 |
+
2
|
| 1182 |
+
language that he'll agree to liability in a civil
|
| 1183 |
+
3
|
| 1184 |
+
case. That's not what these girls-- They want
|
| 1185 |
+
4
|
| 1186 |
+
justice.
|
| 1187 |
+
They want him in prison now more than
|
| 1188 |
+
5
|
| 1189 |
+
ever. The reason they stated they kept this
|
| 1190 |
+
6
|
| 1191 |
+
agreement from the girls and they basically conceded
|
| 1192 |
+
7
|
| 1193 |
+
8
|
| 1194 |
+
we didn't tell the girls about this agreement, well,
|
| 1195 |
+
the reason is because they would have objected and
|
| 1196 |
+
9 they wouldn't have been able to sign off on this and
|
| 1197 |
+
10 the victims would have had a voice, and we'd still
|
| 1198 |
+
11
|
| 1199 |
+
been going through litigation. The exact problem
|
| 1200 |
+
12
|
| 1201 |
+
13
|
| 1202 |
+
14
|
| 1203 |
+
they tried to prevent, at least in their terms which
|
| 1204 |
+
was the impeachment of these girls at a later trial,
|
| 1205 |
+
is still available to anybody once the civil suits
|
| 1206 |
+
15
|
| 1207 |
+
are filed anyway.
|
| 1208 |
+
16
|
| 1209 |
+
They have three arguments. One, we didn't
|
| 1210 |
+
17
|
| 1211 |
+
have to talk to them. Iwo, we did talk to them sort
|
| 1212 |
+
18
|
| 1213 |
+
of. And if you don't buy that, the reason we didn't
|
| 1214 |
+
19
|
| 1215 |
+
talk to them, we were trying to prevent them from
|
| 1216 |
+
20 being impeached later. None of them trump the
|
| 1217 |
+
21 victims' rights to confer prior to plea
|
| 1218 |
+
22
|
| 1219 |
+
23
|
| 1220 |
+
24
|
| 1221 |
+
25
|
| 1222 |
+
negotiations.
|
| 1223 |
+
That's why, Your Honor, we would ask
|
| 1224 |
+
this Court to enter an order vacating that previous
|
| 1225 |
+
plea agreement as illegal, ask them to confer with
|
| 1226 |
+
the victims once again or for the first time and
|
| 1227 |
+

is confer. I can't ask them to do anything beyond

| 1238 |

that. I mean, it is up to them to negotiate.
|
| 1239 |
+
5
|
| 1240 |
+
MR.
|
| 1241 |
+
: I wouldn't quarrel with that.
|

|
| 1243 |

|
| 1244 |
+
THE COURT: Now, having learned today, I
|
| 1245 |
+
guess, that the agreement was signed when, in
|
| 1246 |
+
8
|
| 1247 |
+
October?
|
| 1248 |
+
9
|
| 1249 |
+
10
|
| 1250 |
+
11
|
| 1251 |
+
12
|
| 1252 |
+
13
|
| 1253 |

+
15
|
| 1255 |
+
16
|
| 1256 |
+
MR.
|
| 1257 |
+
: October 2007, I heard.
|
| 1258 |
+
THE COURT: About eight or nine months ago,
|
| 1259 |
+
is there any need to rush to a decision in this
|
| 1260 |
+
matter? The decision has already been made. You
|
| 1261 |
+
filed this, I think, on the presumption that the
|
| 1262 |
+
agreement was about to take place and you wanted to
|
| 1263 |
+
be able to confer beforehand and you weren't sure
|
| 1264 |
+
what was going on.
|
| 1265 |
+
17
|
| 1266 |
+
MR.
|
| 1267 |
+
: Precisely, Your Honor. And I'm
|
| 1268 |
+
18 holding the letters that are exhibits that they were
|
| 1269 |
+
19
|
| 1270 |
+
writing to my client during the year of 2008 telling
|
| 1271 |
+
20
|
| 1272 |
+
her how lengthy of a process this was going to be
|
| 1273 |
+
21
|
| 1274 |
+
and be patient. So, right, I was completely in the
|
| 1275 |
+
22
|
| 1276 |
+
dark about when this agreement was signed.
|
| 1277 |
+
23
|
| 1278 |
+
THE COURT: In view of the fact that this
|
| 1279 |
+
24
|
| 1280 |
+
25
|
| 1281 |
+
agreement has already been consumated, and you want
|
| 1282 |
+
me to set it aside, as opposed to something that's
|
| 1283 |
+
|
| 1284 |
+
|
| 1285 |
+

about to occur, would you agree that-- and I have
|
| 1313 |
+
done this very quickly because of the petition and
|
| 1314 |
+
your allegation that something was about to happen.
|
| 1315 |
+
I'm not blaming you.
|
| 1316 |
+
MR.
|
| 1317 |
+
: I was mistaken.
|
| 1318 |
+
THE COURT: I'm not blaming you for doing
|
| 1319 |
+
that. In view of what you know now, is there any
|
| 1320 |
+
need to treat this as an emergency that has to be
|
| 1321 |
+
decided by tomorrow?
|
| 1322 |
+
MR.
|
| 1323 |
+
: I can't think of any reason in
|
| 1324 |
+
light of what we just heard.
|
| 1325 |
+
THE COURT: Mr. Lee, do you have anything
|
| 1326 |
+
else you wanted to add? Does either side think I
|
| 1327 |
+
need to take evidence about anything? If I do,
|
| 1328 |
+
since this is not an emergency anymore, I can
|
| 1329 |
+
probably find a more convenient time to do that. I
|
| 1330 |
+
don't have the time today to take evidence. But if
|
| 1331 |
+
you do believe that I should take evidence on this
|
| 1332 |
+
issue.
|
| 1333 |
+
MR.
|
| 1334 |
+
: It may be best if I conferred
|
| 1335 |
+
with the U.S. Attorney's Office on that and we can
|
| 1336 |
+
make a decision whether it is necessary or whether
|
| 1337 |
+
Your Honor deemed it was necessary for you to make a
|
| 1338 |
+
decision.
|
| 1339 |
+
THE COURT: I want to know what your

respective positions are because it may be something
|
| 1348 |
+
in terms of having a complete record, and this is
|
| 1349 |
+
going to be an issue that's it going to go to the
|
| 1350 |
+
4
|
| 1351 |
+
Eleventh Circuit, may be better to have a complete
|
| 1352 |
+
5
|
| 1353 |
+
record as to what your position is and the
|
| 1354 |
+
6
|
| 1355 |
+
government's is as to what actions were taken. And
|
| 1356 |
+
7
|
| 1357 |
+
I don't know if I have enough information, based on
|
| 1358 |
+
8
|
| 1359 |
+
9
|
| 1360 |
+
Ms. Villafana's affidavit or I need additional
|
| 1361 |
+
information. And because it is not an emergency, I
|
| 1362 |
+
10 don't have to do something quickly, we can play it
|
| 1363 |
+
11 be ear and make this into a more complete record for
|
| 1364 |
+
12
|
| 1365 |
+
the court of appeals.
|
| 1366 |
+
13
|
| 1367 |
+
MR.
|
| 1368 |
+
: If there is a time where it is
|
| 1369 |
+
14
|
| 1370 |
+
15
|
| 1371 |
+
16
|
| 1372 |
+
17
|
| 1373 |
+
necessary to take evidence, Your Honor is correct in
|
| 1374 |
+
stating that it is not an emergency and it doesn't
|
| 1375 |
+
need to happen today. And, I will confer with the
|
| 1376 |
+
government on this and if evidence needs to be
|
| 1377 |
+
18
|
| 1378 |
+
19
|
| 1379 |
+
20
|
| 1380 |
+
21
|
| 1381 |
+
22
|
| 1382 |
+
23
|
| 1383 |
+
24
|
| 1384 |
+
25
|
| 1385 |
+
taken, it be taken at a later date. It doesn't seem
|
| 1386 |
+
like there will be any prejudice to any party.
|
| 1387 |
+
THE COURT: Mr. Lee, do you have any
|
| 1388 |
+
thoughts? You want to consult with Mr.
|
| 1389 |
+
?
|
| 1390 |
+
MR. LEE: There may be a couple of factual
|
| 1391 |
+
matters that I need to chat with petitioner's
|
| 1392 |
+
counsel on. If we can reach agreement on those as
|
| 1393 |
+
to what was communicated to CW and what time, if
|
| 1394 |
+
|
| 1395 |
+
|
| 1396 |
+
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 27 of 32
|
| 1397 |
+
27
|
| 1398 |
+
1
|
| 1399 |
+
they don't dispute that, then we don't think it will
|
| 1400 |
+
be necessary to have an evidentiary hearing. But if
|
| 1401 |
+
3
|
| 1402 |
+
we can agree, fine or maybe we can't. We'll talk
|
| 1403 |
+
4
|
| 1404 |
+
about it.
|
| 1405 |
+
THE COURT: All right. So why don't you let
|
| 1406 |
+
6
|
| 1407 |
+
me know if you think an evidentiary hearing is
|
| 1408 |
+
7
|
| 1409 |
+
necessary. If there are additional stipulations you
|
| 1410 |
+
8
|
| 1411 |
+
want to enter into or supplement what has already
|
| 1412 |
+
9 been presented, you can do that.
|
| 1413 |
+
10
|
| 1414 |
+
Now, the other issue I want to take up,
|
| 1415 |
+
11
|
| 1416 |
+
though, is the government filed its response to the
|
| 1417 |
+
12
|
| 1418 |
+
petition under seal. And so I want to know why.
|
| 1419 |
+
13
|
| 1420 |
+
What is in there that at this point needs to be
|
| 1421 |
+
14
|
| 1422 |
+
under seal? Is there anything in there that's
|
| 1423 |
+
15
|
| 1424 |
+
16
|
| 1425 |
+
confidential, privileged, anything that's different
|
| 1426 |
+
from what you hve said here in open court that
|
| 1427 |
+
17
|
| 1428 |
+
requires that to be sealed?
|
| 1429 |
+
18
|
| 1430 |
+
MR. LEE: Well, Your Honor, on our motion to
|
| 1431 |
+
19
|
| 1432 |
+
seal was based on two reasons. One that dealt with
|
| 1433 |
+
20
|
| 1434 |
+
individuals or minors at the time that the offense
|
| 1435 |
+
21
|
| 1436 |
+
occurred. So we were attempting to protect the
|
| 1437 |
+
22
|
| 1438 |
+
privacy of those individuals. And also it dealt
|
| 1439 |
+
23
|
| 1440 |
+
with negotiations with Mr. Epstein which were in the
|
| 1441 |
+
24
|
| 1442 |
+
nature of plea negotiations, which we treat as
|
| 1443 |
+
25
|
| 1444 |
+
confidential. Normally, they're not aired out in
|
| 1445 |
+
|
| 1446 |
+
|
| 1447 |
+

|
| 1458 |
+
10
|
| 1459 |
+
11
|
| 1460 |
+
12
|
| 1461 |
+
13
|
| 1462 |
+
14
|
| 1463 |
+
15
|
| 1464 |
+
16
|
| 1465 |
+
17
|
| 1466 |

18
|
| 1467 |

|

|

22
|
| 1471 |

23
|
| 1472 |
+
24
|
| 1473 |
+
25
|
| 1474 |
+
open court. So those were our two reasons.
|
| 1475 |
+
THE COURT: All right. But I guess the
|
| 1476 |
+
letters you attached only related to Mr.
|
| 1477 |
+
client.
|
| 1478 |
+
MR. LEE: Three of them, yes, Your Honor.
|
| 1479 |
+
THE COURT: Are you prepared, Mr.
|
| 1480 |
+
to waive any issues regarding the release of those
|
| 1481 |
+
documents that relate to your clients?
|
| 1482 |
+
MR.
|
| 1483 |
+
: Judge, I think it would be
|
| 1484 |
+
appropriate to redact the names of the clients as
|
| 1485 |
+
they have done.
|
| 1486 |
+
THE COURT: I don't think the names are in
|
| 1487 |
+
there.
|
| 1488 |
+
MR.
|
| 1489 |
+
: I think they're redacted.
|
| 1490 |
+
They're blacked out. I have no problem with
|
| 1491 |
+
releasing those documents. I'm not sure that's part
|
| 1492 |
+
of the deal. But if it is--
|
| 1493 |
+
MR. LEE: It is.
|
| 1494 |
+
MR.
|
| 1495 |
+
: Okay. I'll waive.
|
| 1496 |
+
THE COURT: You really don't have any
|
| 1497 |
+
objection to those letters that were sent to them
|
| 1498 |
+
being released to the public?
|
| 1499 |
+
MR.
|
| 1500 |
+
: Of course not, Judge.
|
| 1501 |
+
THE COURT: Then what is there about the
|
| 1502 |
+
plea agreement or the negotiations that is in the
|
| 1503 |
+
|
| 1504 |
+
|
| 1505 |
+
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 29 of 32
|
| 1506 |
+
29
|
| 1507 |
+
1
|
| 1508 |
+
response that we really haven't already kind of--
|
| 1509 |
+
2
|
| 1510 |
+
3
|
| 1511 |
+
MR. LEE: Your Honor, there was a
|
| 1512 |
+
confidentiality agreement in the deferral of
|
| 1513 |
+
4
|
| 1514 |
+
prosecution to the State of Florida.
|
| 1515 |
+
so we were
|
| 1516 |
+
5
|
| 1517 |
+
trying
|
| 1518 |
+
to maintain the confidentiality of the
|
| 1519 |
+
6
|
| 1520 |
+
negotiations that occurred since we had discussions
|
| 1521 |
+
7
|
| 1522 |
+
during those negotiations as one of the reasons why
|
| 1523 |
+
8
|
| 1524 |
+
we decided not to tell all of the individuals what
|
| 1525 |
+
9
|
| 1526 |
+
10
|
| 1527 |
+
11
|
| 1528 |
+
was going on.
|
| 1529 |
+
THE COURT: But is that still necessary,
|
| 1530 |
+
that confidentiality or is that kind of moot at this
|
| 1531 |
+
12
|
| 1532 |
+
point?
|
| 1533 |
+
13
|
| 1534 |
+
14
|
| 1535 |
+
15
|
| 1536 |
+
MR. LEE: Well, we would like it sealed.
|
| 1537 |
+
Admittedly, what happened today in open court has
|
| 1538 |
+
probably weakened our argument. I don't dispute
|
| 1539 |
+
16
|
| 1540 |
+
that.
|
| 1541 |
+
17
|
| 1542 |
+
THE COURT: In your opinion, anything in
|
| 1543 |
+
18 particular, any paragraph in the response or in Ms.
|
| 1544 |
+
19
|
| 1545 |
+
Villafana's affidavit that you think is particularly
|
| 1546 |
+
20
|
| 1547 |
+
troublesome that should remain under seal?
|
| 1548 |
+
21
|
| 1549 |
+
22
|
| 1550 |
+
MR. LEE: May I have a moment, Your Honor?
|
| 1551 |
+
THE COURT: Yes.
|
| 1552 |
+
23
|
| 1553 |
+
MR. LEE: Thank you. Your Honor, one aspect
|
| 1554 |
+
24
|
| 1555 |
+
of this in the notification letters that were
|
| 1556 |
+
25
|
| 1557 |
+
dispatched to individuals which were attached to Ms.
|

|

|
| 1563 |

Villafana's declaration, there is a citation to a
|
| 1564 |
+
2
|
| 1565 |
+
clause in the agreement that was reached regarding
|
| 1566 |
+
3
|
| 1567 |
+
the damages remedy under 18 USC 2255 that was
|
| 1568 |
+
4
|
| 1569 |
+
subject to the constitutionality agreement, we
|
| 1570 |
+
5
|
| 1571 |
+
believe that should still remain confidential.
|
| 1572 |
+
6
|
| 1573 |
+
THE COURT: But hasn't the fact that this
|
| 1574 |
+
7
|
| 1575 |
+
provision was part of the agreement again been
|
| 1576 |
+
8
|
| 1577 |
+
aired? Is there any secret to it anymore?
|
| 1578 |
+
9
|
| 1579 |
+
MR. LEE: The actual text of it has not been
|
| 1580 |
+
10 aired. The existence of it has been heard but the
|
| 1581 |
+
11 actual text has not and we believe it should still
|
| 1582 |
+
12
|
| 1583 |
+
remain confidential.
|
| 1584 |
+
13
|
| 1585 |
+
THE COURT: Okay. Any other argument on
|
| 1586 |
+
14
|
| 1587 |
+
that issue?
|
| 1588 |
+
15
|
| 1589 |
+
MR. LEE: No, Your Honor. Thank you.
|
| 1590 |
+
16
|
| 1591 |
+
THE COURT: Ms. Villafana wants to speak to
|
| 1592 |
+
17
|
| 1593 |
+
you.
|
| 1594 |
+
18
|
| 1595 |
+
MR. LEE: Your Honor, one item that I'd like
|
| 1596 |
+
19
|
| 1597 |
+
to bring to the court's attention. We had advised
|
| 1598 |
+
20 Mr. Epstein and his attorneys that if we were to
|
| 1599 |
+
21
|
| 1600 |
+
dislose some of the agreement, we would give them
|
| 1601 |
+
22
|
| 1602 |
+
advance notice and ability to lodge an objection. We
|
| 1603 |
+
23
|
| 1604 |
+
would like an opportunity to do that.
|
| 1605 |
+
24
|
| 1606 |
+
THE COURT: All right. But you're not
|
| 1607 |
+
25
|
| 1608 |
+
disclosing. It would be by my order that it would
|
| 1609 |
+
|
| 1610 |
+
|
| 1611 |
+
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 31 of 32
|
| 1612 |
+
31
|
| 1613 |
+
1
|
| 1614 |
+
be disclosed.
|
| 1615 |
+
2
|
| 1616 |
+
3
|
| 1617 |
+
MR. LEE: Yes, Your Honor. And we just would
|
| 1618 |
+
like to register that we believe it should remain
|
| 1619 |
+
4
|
| 1620 |
+
confidential.
|
| 1621 |
+
5
|
| 1622 |
+
THE COURT: All right.
|
| 1623 |
+
6
|
| 1624 |
+
MR.
|
| 1625 |
+
: Your Honor, I don't see any
|
| 1626 |
+
7
|
| 1627 |
+
authority for keeping that under seal.
|
| 1628 |
+
8
|
| 1629 |
+
THE COURT: I agree.
|
| 1630 |
+
The fact that there is
|
| 1631 |
+
9 this preserved right on behalf of the victims to
|
| 1632 |
+
10
|
| 1633 |
+
pursue a civil action is already a matter of public
|
| 1634 |
+
11
|
| 1635 |
+
record; the exact text of the clause-- I don't see
|
| 1636 |
+
12
|
| 1637 |
+
that disclosing the text of the clause when the fact
|
| 1638 |
+
13
|
| 1639 |
+
that the clause exists is already a matter of public
|
| 1640 |
+
14
|
| 1641 |
+
record. It is not harmful in any way to Mr. Epstein
|
| 1642 |
+
15
|
| 1643 |
+
or the government and the letters to the victim that
|
| 1644 |
+
16
|
| 1645 |
+
the victim can disclose those letters, they're not
|
| 1646 |
+
17
|
| 1647 |
+
under any confidentiality obligation or restriction
|
| 1648 |
+
18
|
| 1649 |
+
and they're free to disclose it themselves if they
|
| 1650 |
+
19
|
| 1651 |
+
choose to. So I don't see that there is any real
|
| 1652 |
+
20
|
| 1653 |
+
public necessity to keep the response sealed in view
|
| 1654 |
+
21
|
| 1655 |
+
of what we discussed already on the record and the
|
| 1656 |
+
22 victim's ability to disclose those provisions of
|
| 1657 |
+
23
|
| 1658 |
+
their own choosing, if they wish. So, in view of
|
| 1659 |
+
24
|
| 1660 |
+
the public policy that matters filed in court
|
| 1661 |
+
25
|
| 1662 |
+
proceedings should be open to the public and sealing
|
| 1663 |
+
|
| 1664 |
+
|
| 1665 |
+
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 32 of 32
|
| 1666 |
+
32
|
| 1667 |

1
|
| 1668 |
+
should only occur in circumstances that justife the
|
| 1669 |
+
2
|
| 1670 |
+
need to restrict public access, I'm going to deny
|
| 1671 |
+
3 the motion to seal the response and allow that to be
|
| 1672 |
+
4
|
| 1673 |
+
viewed.
|
| 1674 |
+
5
|
| 1675 |
+
All right. So I'll let both of you confer
|
| 1676 |
+
6 about whether there is a need for any additional
|
| 1677 |
+
7
|
| 1678 |
+
evidence to be presented. Let me know one way or
|
| 1679 |
+
the other. If there is, we'll schedule a hearing.
|
| 1680 |
+
If there isn't and you want to submit some
|
| 1681 |
+
additional stipulated information, do that, and then
|
| 1682 |
+
I'll take care of this in due course.
|
| 1683 |
+
MR.
|
| 1684 |
+
: Thank you, Your Honor.
|
| 1685 |
+
THE COURT: All right.
|
| 1686 |
+
MR. LEE: Thank you, Your Honor.
|
| 1687 |
+
MS. VILLAFANA: Thank you, Your Honor.
|
| 1688 |

THE COURT: You're welcome.

|
| 62 |
+
sensitive allegations of sexual assault and abuse upon a minor and seek damages in excess
|
| 63 |
+
of $50 million. Jane Doe #5 alleges confusion, shame, humiliation, embarrassment, and
|
| 64 |
+
severe psychological and emotional injuries. It is further alleged that she suffered, and will

| 76 |
+
Group, Inc., of San Francisco, California, of which Gilbert W. Kliman, MD, is the medical

|
| 81 |
+

|
| 82 |
+
16. Plaintiff noted that she had caught her mother and stepfather having sex.

|
| 90 |
+
"I got kicked out when I was 18 (by both parents). (Page7, GK Contemp note)
|

+
19.
|
| 95 |
+
Plaintiff noted that during her sophomore and junior years of high school she
|
| 96 |
+
drank every weekend and started trying drugs. (Page 7, GK Contemp note)
|
| 97 |
+
20.
|
| 98 |
+
"Her problems began during adolescence." (Page 7, GK Contemp note)
|
| 99 |
+
21. Family psychiatric history includes: a history of a blood relative having been
|
| 100 |
+
sexually abused, plaintiff's mother was physically abused by sisters, and plaintiff's father
|
| 101 |
+
"was very irresponsible as a father figure when I was growing up" and used drugs. (Pages
|
| 102 |
+
7 and 8, GK Contemp note)
|
| 103 |
+
22.
|
| 104 |
+
Plaintiff noted "My stepfather hit me on a few occasions. But on one
|
| 105 |
+
occasion, I lost hearing in my ear for two weeks." (Page 8, GK Contemp note)
|
| 106 |
+
23. Plaintiff reported that she has been sexually active since age 13 and had 8-10
|
| 107 |
+
partners. (Page 8, GK Contemp note)
|
| 108 |
+
24.
|
| 109 |
+
Plaintiff reported that she had been raised by her father between ages 12 to 18

|
| 120 |
+

|
| 121 |
+
26.
|
| 122 |
+
Plaintiff reported that her mother's sisters had paid a male to rape her (the
|
| 123 |
+
mother) in a closet at school. She had been raped three times, twice in childhood and once
|
| 124 |
+
on a date. Also, an uncle raped the mother. (Page 1, GK Follow-up note)
|
| 125 |
+
27. Plaintiff reported having suicidal thoughts in the 9i or 10th grade. (Page 4,
|
| 126 |
+
GK Follow-up note) (Pre-Epstein)
|
| 127 |
+
28.
|
| 128 |
+
All of the above show that this plaintiff came from an unstable and disturbed
|
| 129 |
+
home, had been subject to previous physical and sexual abuse, was fearful, isolated, and
|
| 130 |
+
had had suicidal ideation priot to meeting Mr. Epstein. For further elaboration of her
|
| 131 |
+
history and background, access to all available records is crucial if one is to fully
|
| 132 |
+
understand the impact of any of these events on her subsequent behavior and proportion
|
| 133 |
+
the impact of specific events, if any, or her current and future level of function.
|
| 134 |
+
29. In Dr. Kliman's initial replenishment retainer agreement and fee schedule
|
| 135 |
+
(date 7/18/08), in a heading entitled "Regarding Full Disclosure," Dr. Kliman notes that
|
| 136 |
+
prior to deposition, counsel will make every effort necessary to provide experts with
|
| 137 |
+
information requested by the experts including: 1) a list of all depositions, statements,
|
| 138 |
+
declarations, and motions in the case, 2) a copy of any requested items, and 3) most
|
| 139 |
+
importantly, a list of all medical, clinical, school, and work records known to the attorney
|
| 140 |
+
in the case.

| 146 |
+
30.
|
| 147 |
+
Dr. Kliman notes on page 8 of his contract opinion formation that he will not
|
| 148 |
+
form opinions, give reports, or testify in certain circumstances.
|
| 149 |
+
These include
|
| 150 |
+
circumstances where he has reason to believe a retaining attorney has "available important
|
| 151 |
+
and relevant documents which are being deliberately withheld from us." "We define such
|
| 152 |
+
as documents in possession of retaining attorney, which we have requested or that we have
|
| 153 |
+
stated would ordinarily be part of medical opinion formation on the topics concerning.
|
| 154 |
+
which our input is requested." We request the same.
|
| 155 |
+
31. It is critical for an IME examiner to be able to make a cogent assessment of
|
| 156 |
+
any plaintiff and to understand their medical, social, academic, psychological and
|
| 157 |
+
psychiatric condition/state prior to any act of alleged victimization. There are a number of
|
| 158 |
+
variables that combine to determine the effects of such alleged victimization, including the
|
| 159 |
+
type and character of the alleged assault, and key victim variables such as demographics,
|
| 160 |
+
psychological reactions at the time of the trauma, previous psychiatric or psychological
|
| 161 |
+
history, previous victimization history, current or previous psychological difficulties, and
|
| 162 |
+
general personality dynamics and coping style, as well as sociocultural factors such as drug
|
| 163 |
+
use/abuse; poverty; social inequity and/or inadequate social support; any previous history
|
| 164 |
+
of abuse within or outside the family; whether individuals were abused by strangers,
|
| 165 |
+
acquaintances or family members; and whether there was any history of indiscriminate
|
| 166 |
+
behavior that may have placed them at increased risk. It is important to know if there had
|
| 167 |
+

|

Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 247-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/05/2009 Page 7 of 8
|
| 172 |
+
been previous sexual conduct, contact with police or welfare agencies, alcohol or drug
|
| 173 |
+
use/abuse, voluntary sexual activity, contraceptive use, genital infections, or apparent
|
| 174 |
+
indifference to previous abuse.
|
| 175 |
+
It is also essential to understand the plaintiff's level of emotional support,
|
| 176 |
+
whether any significant psychiatric illnesses were present, whether they were taking any
|
| 177 |
+
medications (prescribed or non-prescribed), whether there had been previous suicide
|
| 178 |
+
attempts, thoughts, plans, etc.
|
| 179 |
+
33. Knowledge of plaintiff's relationships to her family and familial factors,
|
| 180 |
+
including social disadvantage, family instability, impaired parent/child relationship, and
|
| 181 |
+
parental adjustment difficulties is also critical.
|
| 182 |
+
34.
|
| 183 |
+
It is, therefore, crucial that the independent medical examiner has available to
|
| 184 |
+
him a full and complete record that includes medical, previous legal, social, criminal,
|
| 185 |
+
academic, psychological and psychiatric records/data; psychological tests; laboratory tests;
|
| 186 |
+
and clinical, hospital, physician records. These, in essence, are the same and similar records
|
| 187 |
+
that plaintiff's expert witness (Dr. Kliman) feels are essential for him to do an appropriate
|
| 188 |
+
evaluation. To obtain the necessary information, it will be necessary to identify the plaintiff
|
| 189 |
+
by name. Such identification will not humiliate the plaintiff since all we are requesting is
|
| 190 |
+
pertinent information as noted above relative to their past medical and psychiatric histories
|
| 191 |
+
and conduct. We would concur and request of the court that the same and such other
|
| 192 |
+

JEFFREY EPSTEIN,

DEFENDANT JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S RESPONSE & OBJECTIONS TO
|
| 13 |
+
PLAINTIFF'S REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF NET WORTH
|
| 14 |
+
DOCUMENTS DATED JUNE 29, 2009
|
| 15 |
+
Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, by and through his undersigned
|
| 16 |
+
attorneys, serves his Responses and Objections to the Request for Production of
|
| 17 |
+
Net Worth Documents and states:
|
| 18 |
+
Request No. 1: All Federal and State income tax returns, including all
|
| 19 |
+
W-2 forms, 1099 forms and schedules, for tax years 2003-2008.
|
| 20 |
+
Response and Objections to Request Number 1: Defendant is
|
| 21 |
+
asserting specific legal objections including but not limited to relying on certain
|
| 22 |
+
U.S. constitutional privileges in declining at present to respond to this request for
|
| 23 |
+
production
|
| 24 |
+
on advice from my counsel that | cannot provide
|
| 25 |
+
answers/responses to questions relating to my financial history and conditior
|
| 26 |
+
without waiving my Fifth Amendment and I must accept this advice or risk losing
|
| 27 |
+
my Sixth Amendment right to effective representation. Accordingly, I assert my
|
| 28 |
+
federal constitutional rights under the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments
|
| 29 |
+
as guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Drawing an adverse inference
|
| 30 |
+
under these circumstances would unconstitutionally burden my exercise of my
|
| 31 |
+
constitutional rights, would be unreasonable and would therefore violate the
|
| 32 |
+
Constitution.
|
| 33 |
+
Responding to the above financial request would require Epstein to
|
| 34 |
+
identify information regarding the offenses that were the prior subject of a federal
|
| 35 |
+
investigation as set forth in more detail in a supplementary response available to
|
| 36 |
+
be provided to the court in camera and ex parte to the extent the good faith
|
| 37 |
+
assertion of the privilege is in question. The Fifth Amendment is a safe harbor for
|
| 38 |
+
|
| 39 |
+
|
| 40 |
+

| 41 |

|
| 43 |
+
Page 2
|
| 44 |
+
all citizens, including those who are innocent of any underlying offense, however
|
| 45 |
+
responding to this and other relating inquiries have the potential to provide
|
| 46 |
+
link in a chain of information that would be protected. More specifically, the act of
|
| 47 |
+
producing the above information may implicitly communicate statements of fact in
|
| 48 |
+
that they would implicitly authenticate the requested information, require Epstein
|
| 49 |
+
to admit that the requested information exists and admit that same were in his
|
| 50 |
+
possession, custody and control. The very act of production itself may therefore
|
| 51 |
+
provide a link in the chain of evidence adverse to Epstein, see generally United
|
| 52 |
+
States v Hubbell 520 US 27, 36 (2000)
|
| 53 |
+
In addition to and without waiving his constitutional privileges, Defendant
|
| 54 |
+
also objects as the request for production as unreasonable, overbroad,
|
| 55 |
+
confidential, proprietary in nature and seeks information that is neither relevant to
|
| 56 |
+
the subject matter of the pending action nor does it appear to be reasonably
|
| 57 |
+
calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. The specific
|
| 58 |
+
intormation requested as to tax returns also seeks information that is confidential
|
| 59 |
+
and protected by federal law, 26 USC 6103. Further, Plaintiff's Complaint alleges
|
| 60 |
+
a time period of "in or about 2004-2005." Plaintiff's request seeks information for
|
| 61 |
+
a time period from 2003-2008.
|
| 62 |
+
To the extent this court rules that some or all of the requested information
|
| 63 |
+
be produced, it should not be produced without limitations (including
|
| 64 |
+
confidentiality, and should only be produced at the very end of litigation but
|
| 65 |
+
before trial in order for Plaintiff to establish her burden making it apparent that
|
| 66 |
+
punitive damages can be awarded.
|
| 67 |
+
Request No. 2:
|
| 68 |
+
All documents relating to the assets, liabilities,
|
| 69 |
+
income, expenses and net worth of Defendant, including without limitation, the
|
| 70 |
+
following for each of the past five (5) years.
|
| 71 |
+
a.
|
| 72 |
+
b.
|
| 73 |

C.
|
| 74 |

|
| 83 |
+
Response and Objections to Request Number 2: Defendant is
|
| 84 |
+
asserting specific legal objections including but not limited to relying on certain
|
| 85 |
+
U.S. constitutional privileges in declining at present to respond to this request for
|
| 86 |
+
production based on
|
| 87 |
+
advice from my counsel that I cannot provide
|
| 88 |
+
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
|
| 96 |

constitutional rights, would be unreasonable and would therefore violate the

Constitution.
|
| 98 |
+
Responding to the above financial request would require Epstein to
|
| 99 |
+
identify information regarding the offenses that were the prior subject of a federal
|
| 100 |
+
investigation as set forth in more detail in a supplementary response available to
|
| 101 |
+
be provided to the court in camera and ex parte to the extent the good faith
|
| 102 |
+
assertion of the privilege is in question. The Fifth Amendment is a safe harbor for
|
| 103 |
+
all citizens, including those who are innocent of any underlying offense, however
|
| 104 |
+
responding to this and other relating inquiries have the potential to provide
|
| 105 |
+
link in a chain of information that would be protected. More specifically, the act of
|
| 106 |
+
producing the above information may implicitly communicate statements of fact in
|
| 107 |
+
that they would implicitly authenticate the requested information, require Epstein
|
| 108 |
+
to admit that the requested information exists and admit that same were in his
|
| 109 |
+
possession, custody and control. The very act of production itself may therefore
|
| 110 |
+
provide a link in the chain of evidence adverse to Epstein, see generally United
|
| 111 |
+
States v Hubbell 520 US 27, 36 (2000)
|
| 112 |
+
In addition to and without waiving his constitutional privileges, Defendant
|
| 113 |
+
also objects as the request for production as unreasonable, overbroad,
|
| 114 |
+
confidential, proprietary in nature and seeks information that is neither relevant to
|
| 115 |
+
the subject matter of the pending action nor does it appear to be reasonably
|
| 116 |
+
calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Further, Plaintiff's
|
| 117 |
+
Complaint alleges a time period of "in or about 2004-2005." Plaintiff's request
|
| 118 |
+
seeks information for a time period of the past five (5) years.
|
| 119 |
+
To the extent this court rules that some or all of the requested information
|
| 120 |
+
be produced, it
|
| 121 |
+
should not be produced without limitations including
|
| 122 |
+
confidentiality), and should only be produced at the very end of litigation but
|
| 123 |
+
before trial in order for Plaintiff to establish her burden making it apparent that
|

punitive damages can be awarded.

Request No. 3:

loans requested or applied for by the Defendant, including loan applications,

Response and Objections to Request Number 3: Defendant is

| 131 |

U.S. constitutional privileges in declining at present to respond to this request for
|

answers/responses to questions relating to my financial history and condition

without waiving my Fifth Amendment and I must accept this advice or risk losing

RE: EXPECTATION OF HARM FROM DISCLOSING THE PLAINTIFFS' IDENTITIES
|
| 12 |
+
IN DOES V JEFFREY EPSTEIN
|
| 13 |
+
1. 1, Gilbert W. Kliman, M.D., of 2105 Divisadero Street, San Francisco, California,
|
| 14 |
+
CA. Physicians License G55912, declare the following under penalty of perjury:
|
| 15 |
+
2. I have been retained by plaintiffs' law firm, Mermelstein & Horowitz., to give expert
|
| 16 |
+
testimony. If called as a witness, I would testify truthfully and competently concerning
|
| 17 |
+
my psychiatric findings about each of the plaintiffs' alleged experiences of sexual abuse,
|
| 18 |
+
and the enduring effects that I find each of the young women have suffered as a direct
|
| 19 |
+
result of the sexual acts perpetrated by the defendant.
|
| 20 |
+
3. I have been asked to respond to the Defense motion, which requests that some of the
|
| 21 |
+
plaintiffs, who are now adults, should be publicly named. It is my opinion that
|
| 22 |
+
involuntary public disclosure will result in the plaintiffs experiencing revictimization,
|
| 23 |
+
albeit by a justice system that is designed to protect them. If their identities are released,
|
| 24 |
+
the victims will be at-risk of having their personal lives scrutinized by friends, extended
|
| 25 |
+
family, spouses, children, fellow students, employers and fellow employees, the media
|
| 26 |
+
and general public. This type of exposure humiliates many victims and represents anothe
|
| 27 |
+
betrayal of trust. Public exposure places the plaintiffs at further risk of stigmatization
|
| 28 |
+
4. Due to traumatization the plaintiffs are arrested in their development, and even those
|
| 29 |
+
who are now legally adults are arrested in part to adolescent aspects of psychology.
|
| 30 |
+
5. The plaintifts do not hold their heads high with pride tor having been sexually
|
| 31 |
+
absorption and self-doubt and self-blame about sexual acts.
|
| 32 |
+
|
| 33 |
+

Case 9:09-cv-80591-KAM Document 66-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/29/2009 Page 2 of 5
|
| 38 |
+
6. Clinically harmful levels of shame, self-consciousness, self-doubt and self-blame are
|
| 39 |
+
even more prominent among victims of molestations than among the general population.
|
| 40 |
+
7. Molested teenagers are particularly vulnerable to wrongful manipulations and special
|
| 41 |
+
clinical harms from the experiences of shame and humiliation. In fact, shame and efforts
|
| 42 |
+
to cope with it played an underlying role in the harm to each plaintiff. Each was lured
|
| 43 |
+
into Mr. Epstein's sexual lair with the promise of overcoming bodily and sexual shame
|
| 44 |
+
by earning money and bettering their lot in life. The defendant capitalized on their sexual
|
| 45 |
+
naiveté, insecurities and effort to better themselves, and he worked hard to overcome
|
| 46 |
+
their shame at his enlistment of them in his selfish gratifications.
|
| 47 |
+
8. The defendant who wishes to make their identities public is one whom the criminal
|
| 48 |
+
justice system has already determined is a person who has already committed a crime of
|
| 49 |
+
child molestation. That surely means he has already exploited and manipulated the girls'
|
| 50 |
+
state of adolescent sexuality, including their embarrassment, awkwardness and bodily
|
| 51 |
+
self-consciousness. He perverted their nascent and developing moral structures by posing
|
| 52 |
+
as a generous, avuncular mentor who could coach them about their bodies, sex and love.
|
| 53 |
+
The exploitation of adolescent bodies, sex and love is - from a psychoanalytic point of
|
| 54 |
+
view - an influence on the developing moral conscience of the children, as well as on
|
| 55 |
+
their sexual urges. Now the ravaging of their internal and private moral conscience is
|
| 56 |
+
intended by the perpetrator to be made a public ravaging.
|
| 57 |
+
9. Among sexual trauma victims, the insidious and destructive persistence of shame,
|
| 58 |
+
humiliation and associated self-blame is well-documented (Finkelhor and
|
| 59 |
+
_, 1985).
|
| 60 |
+
Stigmatization, as experienced by a sexual trauma victim, has especially painful and
|
| 61 |
+
pathologic consequences. Shame lingers and becomes integrated within the adolescent
|
| 62 |
+
victim's malleable emerging identity, character structure and self image. Moral clarity is
|
| 63 |
+
distorted, Perceptions of self-blame and guilt are magnified. The impact of shame lends
|
| 64 |
+
to cultivating a self image of being "spoiled goods."
|
| 65 |
+
10. Stigmatization following sexual trauma results in long-term risks that can negatively
|
| 66 |
+
shape multiple facets of adult development: sexual, emotional, interpersonal and
|
| 67 |
+
vocational. Stigmatization, which is generally to be avoided among psychiatric patients,
|
| 68 |
+
increases risks among those - as in our plaintifts as a group - who experience clinical
|
| 69 |
+
depression and self-destructive behaviors: drug use, criminal activity, even prostitution.
|
| 70 |
+
Stigmatization following abuse is associated with delinquency due to increased anger
|
| 71 |
+
and affiliation with deviant peers (Feiring et al., 2007).
|
| 72 |
+
11. Shame and guilt are important dimensions of both complex and single event,
|
| 73 |
+
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms of shame are associated with feelings of
|
| 74 |
+
helplessness and powerlessness, which each of the plaintiffs endorsed experiencing in
|
| 75 |
+
relation to Mr. Epstein.
|
| 76 |
+
|
| 77 |
+
|
| 78 |
+
Case 9:09-cV-80591-KAM Document 66-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/29/2009 Page 3 of 5
|
| 79 |
+
12. The DSM-IV-TR recognizes both powerlessness and helplessness as requisite parts of
|
| 80 |
+
the traumatic experience in Criterion A for the diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder
|
| 81 |
+
Seligman, recent Past President of the American Psychological
|
| 82 |
+
Association, coined relevant terms of "learned helplessness and "Loss of Personal Locus
|
| 83 |
+
of Control." See Seligman, M.P. 1975: Helplessness, Depression, Development and
|
| 84 |
+
Death. W. H. Freeman, San Francisco). The teenaged girls suffered the loss of personal
|
| 85 |
+
locus of control to a much more experienced, sexually aggressive, powerful and
|
| 86 |
+
dominant, manipulative perpetrator.
|
| 87 |
+
13. Releasing names of the plaintiffs to the public will reenact experiences of
|
| 88 |
+
powerlessness and helplessness in the face of a boundary violation. Repetition and
|
| 89 |
+
reenactment represent central features of Criterion B in the DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of'
|
| 90 |
+
posttraumatic stress disorder trauma. In effect, release of their identity and public
|
| 91 |
+
intrusion into their personal life represents a reenactment of the shame of sexual
|
| 92 |
+
traumatization. Repetition and reenactment are central pathologies that afflict sexual
|
| 93 |
+
trauma survivors.
|
| 94 |
+
14. Victims of sexual abuse often rely upon some form of dissociation, splitting or denial,
|
| 95 |
+
as a detensive means to manage overwhelming attects associated with the sexual trauma.
|
| 96 |
+
Each of the plaintiff girls has employed some variation of this defense, both during the
|
| 97 |
+
massages and then subsequently following disclosure of the abuse. Primitive,
|
| 98 |
+
maladaptive responses of this nature will become additionally reinforced as a result of
|
| 99 |
+
public disclosure.
|
| 100 |
+
15. Another aspect of the plaintiffs' experience, which is recognized by DSM-IV-TR, is
|
| 101 |
+
that the trauma was associated with human design factors (such as cruel intention to do
|
| 102 |
+
harm, rape, torture). Trauma of this origin has a tendency to produce more "severe or
|
| 103 |
+
long lasting" posttraumatic stress disorder than natural events (DSM IV TR p. 464). A
|
| 104 |
+
policy of deliberate revelation of the names of the victims would reinforce the sense of
|
| 105 |
+
design, pattern and policy of human intentions.
|
| 106 |
+
16. Negative expectations about significant activities are noted in DSM-IV-TR, as part of
|
| 107 |
+
Criterion C. Symptoms of foreshortened future are characteristic of a traumatized
|
| 108 |
+
individual's clinical course (C4). They expect revictimization. They expect bad outcomes
|
| 109 |
+
identity will aggravate existing symptoms of hypervigilance.
|
| 110 |
+
17. The DSM-IV-TR diagnostic category of "chronic" is justified for each of the
|
| 111 |
+
auntills. Scientifie literature shows that the prognostic consequences of PTSD an
|
| 112 |
+
esidual effects may last for decades (U.S. Dept. of Health, 2005; Issues in Child Abus
|
| 113 |
+
Prevention Number 9 Autumn1998: Long-term Effects of Child Sexual Abuse, Paul E
|
| 114 |
+
Mullen and Jillian Fleming). The lasting impact upon character, identity and moral
|
| 115 |
+
development will probably affect long-term influences upon adult development. It is
|
| 116 |
+
more probable than not that stigmatization associated with public disclosure of the
|
| 117 |
+
3
|
| 118 |
+
|
| 119 |
+
|
| 120 |
+
Case 9:09-cv-80591-KAM Document 66-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/29/2009 Page 4 of 5
|
| 121 |
+
plaintiffs' identities will intensify the scope, nature and severity of the chronic symptom
|
| 122 |
+
course.
|
| 123 |
+
18. In addition to PTSD, shame and humiliation themselves have also been associated
|
| 124 |
+
with causing clinical depression. Coexisting PTSD and clinical depression places the
|
| 125 |
+
plaintiff's at increased risk for re-victimization and high risk sexual behaviors (e.g.,
|
| 126 |
+
sexually transmitted disease, premature pregnancy, rape) (Nelson, 2002), and at greater
|
| 127 |
+
risk to victimize others (Filipas and Ullman, 2006; Desai, Centers for Disease Control,
|
| 128 |
+
2002) who are in their control. Studies have also shown that chronic symptoms of PTSD,
|
| 129 |
+
in association with a single episode of Major Depressive Disorder, can produce lifetime
|
| 130 |
+
adjustment difficulties, which include suicidality (Oquendo et al, 2005; Dube et al, CDC,
|
| 131 |
+
2001; Rohde, J. Am. Acad. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry 2005). The plaintiffs will be
|
| 132 |
+
additionally vulnerable to these clinical outcomes, if they suffer the stigmatization and
|
| 133 |
+
humiliation associated with public disclosure of their identities.
|
| 134 |
+
19. Alternative hypothesis: I have applied the evidence shown from examination and
|
| 135 |
+
testing of the plaintiffs and relevant observations and information from other
|
| 136 |
+
professionals while testing an alternative hypothesis: that no harm would result from
|
| 137 |
+
public disclosure of the plaintiffs' identities. During the evaluations with the six
|
| 138 |
+
plaintiffs, I used generally acceptable criteria for establishing whether a DSM-IV-TR
|
| 139 |
+
disorder occurred. I established that there were provable and diagnosable injuries,
|
| 140 |
+
primarily posttraumatic stress disorder and comorbid depression. Based upon these
|
| 141 |
+
diagnostic signs, it is more probable than not, that exposing the plaintiff's identity to the
|
| 142 |
+
public is not a trivial concern or one without substantial clinical repercussions. I believe
|
| 143 |
+
that most child, adolescent and adult psychiatrists would share the opinion that additional
|
| 144 |
+
psychiatric injury will result from such exposure.
|
| 145 |
+
20. However, consider for the sake of argument, that my diagnostic conclusions are
|
| 146 |
+
incorrect, notwithstanding having fulfilled standard psychiatric evaluation procedures of
|
| 147 |
+
taking a history from multiple sources, videotaping and transcribing my initial interview,
|
| 148 |
+
and reviewing available medical and legal documents. Even if this was the case, and my
|
| 149 |
+
diagnostic conclusions were faulty, I believe that multiple experts, even those who may
|
| 150 |
+
now propose publication of the victims' names, would still come to a conclusion that the
|
| 151 |
+
plaintiff's suffered sexual abuse, and in some cases, multiple acts of ongoing abuse, at the
|
| 152 |
+
hands of Jeffery Epstein. Even without developing a subsequent disorder, there is much
|
| 153 |
+
clinical evidence and scientific literature showing likelihood of substantial psychiatric
|
| 154 |
+
harm to these sexually abused plaintiffs.
|
| 155 |
+
21. To form these conclusions, I have used my extensive experience in forming these
|
| 156 |
+
opinions. That experience is both as a treating child psychiatrist and separately as a
|
| 157 |
+
forensic psychiatrist. I have treated hundreds of minor patients, as well as additionally
|
| 158 |
+
evaluated hundreds of children and adolescents who have suffered sexual abuse. I have
|
| 159 |
+
made long term followups of many of the children and have treated many adults who
|
| 160 |
+
have been molested as adolescents. It is my opinion, with a reasonably high degree of
|
| 161 |
+
medical certainty that the defense motion to allow public disclosure of the plaintiffs'
|
| 162 |
+
identities is clinically and ethically a wrongful plan. The act of revealing their identities
|
| 163 |
+
against their wishes places the plaintiffs at risk, in the best of circumstances, of suffering
|
| 164 |
+
4
|

+
Case 9:09-cv-80591-KAM Document 66-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/29/2009 Page 5 of 5
|
| 168 |
+
an aggravation of existing diagnostic concerns. It is more probable than not that releasing
|
| 169 |
+
personal identities will f
|
| 170 |
+
an exacerbation and magnification of symptoms lending to
|
| 171 |
+
increased risk of revictimization and retraumatization.

Re: Jane Doe 1000 v. Indyke et al., Case No. 19-cv-10577
|
| 16 |
+
Dear Judge Schofield,
|
| 17 |
+
Pursuant to Individual Rules III.A. 1 and III.C.2, Plaintiff Jane Doe 1000 hereby responds
|
| 18 |
+
to Defendants' request for a pre-motion conference in connection with their anticipated motion to
|
| 19 |
+
dismiss. Dkt. 24. Plaintiff's claims are timely under New York's statutes of limitation and the
|
| 20 |
+
doctrine of equitable estoppel, and Defendants' proposed motion "to dismiss" Plaintiff's request
|
| 21 |
+
for punitive damages is procedurally improper. For the following reasons, the Court should deny
|
| 22 |
+
Defendants" anticipated motion in its entirety.'
|
| 23 |
+
I. Plaintiff's Claims Are Timely Under New York Law.
|
| 24 |
+
Plaintiff's claims are timely under New York's CPLR § 215(8)(a), which provides:
|
| 25 |
+
"Whenever it is shown that a criminal action against the same defendant has been commenced
|
| 26 |
+
with respect to the event or occurrence from which a claim governed by this section arises, the
|
| 27 |
+
plaintiff shall have at least one year from the termination of the criminal action ... to commence
|
| 28 |
+
the civil action." (Emphasis added). Here, Epstein's criminal action in this District terminated on
|
| 29 |
+
August 29, 2019. Compl. 9| 36. Because Plaintiff filed the Complaint less than three months later,
|
| 30 |
+
the action is timely under CPLR 215(8)(a). Defendants' arguments against CPLR § 215(8)(a)'s
|
| 31 |
+
application to these facts are meritless.
|
| 32 |
+
First, Defendants' argument that CPLR § 215(8)(a) does not apply because Plaintiff was
|
| 33 |
+
not named as a victim in Epstein's indictment is incorrect. New York courts have held that CPLR
|
| 34 |
+
§ 215(8)(a) is "plain, clear and unambiguous" that it does not require that the plaintiff be "the
|
| 35 |
+
victim or the specific person upon whom the crime had been committed." Clemens v. Nealon, 202
|
| 36 |
+
A.D.2d 747, 749 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994).
|
| 37 |
+
Second, Defendants' narrow construction of § 215(8)(a)'s "event or occurrence" language
|
| 38 |
+
is improper, especially in light of the breadth of Epstein's indictment. The charges were not limited
|
| 39 |
+
to crimes committed against specific victims. For example, the overt acts alleged for the sex
|
| 40 |
+
trafficking conspiracy charge were enticing and recruiting multiple victims, "including minor
|
| 41 |
+
" To the extent the Court allows Defendants to file a motion to dismiss, Plaintiff requests 30 days from the
|
| 42 |
+
date of Defendants' motion to file an opposition, with Defendants' reply brief due 10 days thereafter.

Case 1:19-cv-10577-LJL-DCF Document 25 Filed 01/31/20 Page 2 of 4
|
| 48 |
+
victims identified herein." Compl., Ex. A (S.D.N.Y Indictment) I| 22(a) (emphasis added). As
|
| 49 |
+
another example, the Indictment's sex trafficking count charged Epstein with the sex trafficking
|
| 50 |
+
of "numerous individuals ... including but not limited to Minor Victim-l." Id. Il 24. Nor did the
|
| 51 |
+
Indictment describe the sex trafficking conspiracy as exclusively targeting minor victims—it
|
| 52 |
+
explicitly acknowledged that some victims were not underage at the time of the sexual abuse. Id.
|
| 53 |
+
• 11 ("[Epstein] knew that many of his New York victims were underage."). The Indictment was
|
| 54 |
+
targeted at Epstein's sex-trafficking scheme as a whole, and that scheme is the event or occurrence
|
| 55 |
+
from which Plaintiff's civil claims arose. See Kashef v. BNP Paribas S.A., 925 F.3d 53, 56-57,
|
| 56 |
+
62 (2d Cir. 2019) (guilty plea conceding "knowledge of the atrocities being committed in Sudan"
|
| 57 |
+
allowed victims of the atrocities in Sudan use 215(8)(a) because causes of action arose out of
|
| 58 |
+
defendant's general conspiracy with Sudan to violate U.S. sanctions put in place to stop atrocities).
|
| 59 |
+
Because Plaintiff's claims arise out of this common scheme, they fall within CPLR § 215(8)(a).
|
| 60 |
+
The cases Defendants cite are inapposite because the criminal charges in those cases were
|
| 61 |
+
much narrower than Epstein's, and related to events that occurred on specified dates. See
|
| 62 |
+
Christodoulou v. Terdeman, 262 A.D.2d 595, 596 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999) (prosecution commenced
|
| 63 |
+
only in connection with events on two dates); Gallina v. Thatcher, No. 2017-52980, 2018 N.Y.
|
| 64 |
+
Misc. LEXIS 8435, at *3 (Sup. Ct. Oct. 23, 2018) (indictment "charged [the defendant] for
|
| 65 |
+
incidents occurring on three (3) specific dates"). Epstein's Indictment was much broader, covering
|
| 66 |
+
sexual abuse that occurred "over the course of many years" "from at least in or about 2002, up to
|
| 67 |
+
and including at least in or about 2005." S.D.N.Y. Indictment 99| 1-2, 8, 20, 24 (emphases added).
|
| 68 |
+
Plaintiff's claims are therefore timely under CPLR § 215(8)(a) because the scheme the S.D.N.Y.
|
| 69 |
+
Indictment targeted is the event or occurrence from which Plaintiff's civil claims arise.
|
| 70 |
+
Plaintiff's claims are also timely under CPLR § 213-c, which provides for a twenty year
|
| 71 |
+
limitations period for "all civil claims or causes of action brought by any person for physical,
|
| 72 |
+
psychological or other injury or condition suffered by such person as a result of conduct which
|
| 73 |
+
would constitute rape" or other enumerated sex crimes. The Complaint alleges that Epstein
|
| 74 |
+
sexually assaulted Plaintiff by forcible compulsion multiple times within the past twenty years.
|
| 75 |
+
See Compl. 9| 50, 51. Plaintiff's claims fall squarely within CPLR § 213-c's coverage. Defendants'
|
| 76 |
+
assertion that CPR § 213-c does not apply because "the 20-year SOL does not apply
|
| 77 |
+
retroactively" is meritless. CPLR § 213-c's text contains no such limitation, and was revised last
|
| 78 |
+
year (increasing the limitations period from 5 to 20 years) specifically to allow claims such as
|
| 79 |
+
Plaintiff's to proceed. See June 17, 2019, New York Committee Report, 2019 NY S.B. 6574 (NS)
|
| 80 |
+
(noting that "victims who have suffered in silence for decades have bravely spoken about their
|
| 81 |
+
abuse, and have also laid bare the state's limited ability to prosecute their abusers due to the
|
| 82 |
+
passage of time" and that "this bill would increase the time period in which the victim could bring
|
| 83 |
+
a civil suit for these offenses to twenty years").
|
| 84 |
+
Defendants also assert that Plaintiff's claims are untimely under New York's borrowing
|
| 85 |
+
statute, CPLR § 202. This argument fails for two reasons. First, CPLR § 202 only applies to nonresidents who are injured outside of New York, and the controlling date for determining a
|
| 86 |
+
plaintiff's residence is the date on which the cause of action accrued, not the date on which the
|
| 87 |
+
action was commenced. See, e.g., DeMartino v.
|
| 88 |
+
cenuthe date on which the
|
| 89 |
+
1. 148 A.D.2d 568, 570 (N.Y. App. Div.
|
| 90 |
+
1989). Under the borrowing statute, the phrases "resident" and "domicile" are not synonymous.
|
| 91 |
+
"Rather, the determination of whether a plaintiff is a New York resident, for purposes of CPLR
|
| 92 |
+
202, turns on whether [she] has a significant connection with some locality in the State as the result
|
| 93 |
+
|
| 94 |
+
|
| 95 |
+
Case 1:19-cv-10577-LJL-DCF Document 25 Filed 01/31/20 Page 3 of 4
|
| 96 |
+
of living there for some length of time during the course of a year." Antone v. Gen. Motors Corp.,
|
| 97 |
+
473 N.E.2d 742, 746 (N.Y. 1984). The fact that Plaintiff currently lives in New Jersey is irrelevant.
|
| 98 |
+
At the time of her repeated sexual assaults, Plaintiff was a resident of New York—she lived in
|
| 99 |
+
Epstein's apartment building on 66" Street in Manhattan, where he housed other victims. Compl.
|
| 100 |
+
9140. When Plaintiff escaped Epstein, she stayed in New York and moved into a Salvation Army
|
| 101 |
+
apartment. Compl. I| 46. Because Plaintiff had a significant connection with New York at the
|
| 102 |
+
time her cause of action accrued, she was a resident of New York, and CPLR § 202 does not apply.
|
| 103 |
+
Second, even if New York's borrowing statute did apply and Plaintiff's claims were
|
| 104 |
+
otherwise untimely, they would still not be barred because CPLR § 215(8)(a) provides for civil
|
| 105 |
+
actions to commence within one year from the termination of the criminal
|
| 106 |
+
action ... notwithstanding that the time in which to commence such action has already expired."
|
| 107 |
+
II. Plaintiff Has Sufficiently Pled Facts Supporting Equitable Estoppel and Tolling.
|
| 108 |
+
Even if Plaintiff's claims were otherwise time-barred under New York's statutes of
|
| 109 |
+
limitation (they are not), they would still be timely under the doctrine of equitable estoppel.
|
| 110 |
+
Defendants assert that Plaintiff "fails to meet her burden to allege extraordinary circumstances
|
| 111 |
+
sufficient to justify tolling or equitable estoppel." Dkt. 24 at 2. But the Complaint alleges in detail
|
| 112 |
+
the methods of intimidation and control that Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators used to deter
|
| 113 |
+
their victims from seeking justice. Equitable estoppel applies "where it would be unjust to allow
|
| 114 |
+
a defendant to assert a statute of limitations defense," Zumpano v. Quinn, 849 N.E.2d 926, 929
|
| 115 |
+
(N.Y. 2006), due to "deception, concealment, threats, or other misconduct," Zoe G. v. Frederick
|
| 116 |
+
F.G., 208 A.D.2d 675, 675 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994). The Complaint alleges that Epstein and his
|
| 117 |
+
co-conspirators manipulated victims using "financial power, promises, and threats;" that Plaintiff
|
| 118 |
+
was "terrified of Epstein, who repeatedly threatened her and made representations about his
|
| 119 |
+
wealth, power, and connections;" and that Epstein forced Plaintiff to meet with a prominent lawyer
|
| 120 |
+
who gathered information about Plaintiff's family's financial situation that Epstein later used "to
|
| 121 |
+
intimidate her and to keep her compliant in his sex-trafficking scheme." Compl. 99l 27, 40, 43.
|
| 122 |
+
The allegations concerning Epstein's purposeful silencing of his victims (and Plaintiff specifically)
|
| 123 |
+
easily provide the requisite "extraordinary circumstances" for equitable tolling.
|
| 124 |
+
Because equitable estoppel and equitable tolling are fact-specific doctrines, Defendants'
|
| 125 |
+
attempt to resolve the issue with a motion to dismiss is inappropriate, and any motion challenging
|
| 126 |
+
whether or not those doctrines apply should be reserved until after discovery. See, e.g., Carelock
|
| 127 |
+
v. United States, 2015 WL 5000816, at *8 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 20, 2015).
|
| 128 |
+
I. The Court Should Address Punitive Damages After Discovery
|
| 129 |
+
Federal Rule 12(b)(6) allows a defendant to file a motion to dismiss for "failure to state a
|
| 130 |
+
claim upon which relief can be granted." Defendants' request for the Court to dismiss Plaintiff's
|
| 131 |
+
claim for punitive damages does not relate to either of Plaintiff's clams (battery and intentional
|
| 132 |
+
infliction of emotion distress) and does not relate to the sufficiency of the allegations in the
|
| 133 |
+
Complaint. The issue of what type of damages to which Plaintiff is entitled should therefore be
|
| 134 |
+
dealt with at a later stage of this litigation. See, e.g., Okyere v. Palisades Collection, LLC, 961 F.
|
| 135 |
+
Supp. 2d 522, 536 (S.D.N.Y. 2013) (denying "motion to "dismiss' plaintiff's request for punitive
|
| 136 |
+
damages as procedurally premature").

|
| 16 |
+
AND INCORPORATED MOTION TO COMPEL PRESIDENTIAL WOMEN'S CENTER TO
|
| 17 |
+
COMPLY WITH SUBPOENA DUCES TECUM REGARDING JANE DOE NO. 4
|
| 18 |
+
Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein"), submits this reply to Plaintiffs', Jane Doe Nos. 2,
|
| 19 |
+
3 and 5-8 ("Plaintiffs"), Response to Epstein's Motion to Compel Presidential Women's Center
|
| 20 |
+
to Comply with Subpoena Duces Tecum (DE #442) and also moves to compel Presidential
|
| 21 |
+
Women's Center to Comply with Subpoena Duces Tecum Regarding Jane Doe No. 4, and states:
|
| 22 |
+
On December 2, 2009, Epstein filed a Motion to Compel Presidential Women's
|
| 23 |
+
Center to Comply with Subpoena Duces Tecum ("Motion to Compel") (DE #431).
|
| 24 |
+
2.
|
| 25 |
+
Since the filing of the Motion to Compel (DE #431), Presidential Women's
|
| 26 |
+
Center notified undersigned counsel that it does not have any records for Jane Doe Nos 2, 3, 5, 6
|
| 27 |
+
and 8!
|
| 28 |
+
'Epstein did not serve a subpoena on Presidential Women's Center for Jane Doe No. 7.

+
Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 443 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/29/2009 Page 2 of 5
|
| 32 |
+
Thus, unless circumstances change in the future, the issues in Epstein's Motion to
|
| 33 |
+
Compel and the subpoenas to Presidential Women's Center regarding Jane Doe Nos. 2, 3, 5, 6
|
| 34 |
+
and 8 are moot at the current time.
|
| 35 |
+
MOTION TO COME PRESIDE ON TED COMPLY WITH
|
| 36 |
+
4.
|
| 37 |
+
In her deposition, Jane Doe No. 4 testified that she had three abortions, at least
|
| 38 |
+
two of which was performed at Presidential Women's Center. See 10/27/09 Deposition of Jane
|
| 39 |
+
Doe No. 4 at 311-313, excerpt attached as Exhibit A.
|
| 40 |
+
5.
|
| 41 |
+
On November 13, 2009, Epstein issued a subpoena (attached as Exhibit B) to
|
| 42 |
+
Presidential Women's Center for records relating to Jane Doe No. 4.
|
| 43 |
+
6.
|
| 44 |
+
Jane Doe No. 4 did not object to said subpoena.
|
| 45 |
+
7.
|
| 46 |
+
Presidential Women's Center represented they will not produce records without a
|
| 47 |
+
court order or a signed HIPAA release from the patient.
|
| 48 |
+
8.
|
| 49 |
+
On December 18, 2009, counsel for Epstein requested Jane Doe No. 4 provide an
|
| 50 |
+
executed release for Presidential Women's Center. To date, no release has been received.
|
| 51 |
+
Accordingly, Epstein requests the Court enter an order compelling Presidential
|
| 52 |
+
Women's Center to comply with the November 13, 2009 subpoena duces tecum within five (5)
|
| 53 |
+
days of the Court's order.
|
| 54 |
+
10.
|
| 55 |
+
This discovery is obviously relevant and discoverable and, again, Jane Doe No. 4
|
| 56 |
+
(also represented by counsel for Jane Doe Nos. 2, 3 and 5-8) did not object to the subpoena. As
|
| 57 |
+
the Court stated in its September 4, 2009 Order (DE #289), "lu]nder these circumstances, where
|
| 58 |
+
Plaintiff is seeking to recover expenses associated with these complex medical issues, full
|
| 59 |
+
knowledge of Plaintiff's past and present medical, psychological, familial and social histories is
|
| 60 |
+
essential." See DE #289 at 4; see also DE #377 at 10 ("As a global matter, Plaintiffs clearly and
|
| 61 |
+
2
|
| 62 |
+
|
| 63 |
+
|
| 64 |
+
Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 443 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/29/2009 Page 3 of 5
|
| 65 |
+
unequivocally place their sexual history in issue by their allegations that Epstein's actions in this
|
| 66 |
+
case has negatively affected their relationships.... To deny Epstein this discovery [regarding
|
| 67 |
+
past sexual history], would be tantamount to barring him from mounting a defense.").
|
| 68 |
+
WHEREFORE, Epstein respectfully requests the Court enter an order compelling
|
| 69 |
+
Presidential Women's Center to produce documents responsive to the subpoena duces tecum
|
| 70 |
+
regarding Jane Doe No. 4 and attached to this Motion as Exhibit A within five (5) days of the
|
| 71 |
+
Court's order and grant any additional relief the Court deems just and proper.
