12
+ 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.

4
+ AFFIDAVIT OF JACK A. GOLDBERGER, ESQUIRE
5
+ STATE OF FLORIDA
6
+ COUNTY OF PALM BEACH
7
+ ) SS
8
+ )
9
+ 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
+
31
+
32
+
33
+ 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.
40
+ 6.
41
+ 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.

+ 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).

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

62
+ Consistent with Fed.R.Civ.P. 30(d)(1), S.D.Fla.L.R. 26.1(K) provides that "lu]nless otherwise

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.
82
+ (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.

131
+ 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,

18
+ the Government and Epstein's counsel, whether offered as an exhibit or quoted from in

10
+ 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

37
+
38
+
39
+ 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

171
+ Case 9:09-cv-80469-KAM Document 34-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/08/2009 Page 5 of 5
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
178

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.

80
+ 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
+ 4
89
+
90
+
91
+ 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
166
+ requests for production and Epstein's objections are as follows:
167
+ Request No. 1: Copies of all telephone records in your or your attorney's possession
168
+ from 2002 through 2005 that in any way relate to you (including all phone lines owned
169
+ by you or that were used to contact girls for the purposes of scheduling massages for
170
+ you.)

68

69

71

73
+ THE COURT: Good morning. All right. We're
74

75
+ 19
76
+ 20
77
+ 21
78
+ 22
79
+ 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?.
83
+ 23
84
+ 24
85
+ MR.
86
+ at the podium?
87
+ : Yes, Your Honor. You prefer me

89
+ THE COURT: It is easier for us to hear you.

97
+ 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.

175
+ 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
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 5 of 32
206
+ 5
207
+ 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
+ 7
219
+ 8
220
+ 9
221
+ 10
222
+ 11
223
+ 12
224
+ 13
225
+ 14
226
+ 15
227
+ 16
228
+ 17
229
+ 18
230
+ 19
231
+ 20
232
+ 21
233
+ 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
261
+ 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
+
315
+
316

+ 15
333
+ 16
334
+ 17

337
+ 20
338
+ 21
339
+ 22
340
+ 23
341
+ 24
342
+ 25
343
+ 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.

+ 21
396
+ 22
397
+ 23
398
+ 24
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
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 11 of 32
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
560
+ 16
561
+ 17

+ 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
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 14 of 32
688
+ 14
689
+ 1
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.

760
+ 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
+
794

+ 20

817
+ 22
818
+ 23
819
+ 24
820
+ 25
821
+ 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.

+ 1
852
+ THE COURT:
853
+ Counsel?
854
+ 2
855
+ MR.
856
+ : I would just like to address
857
+ 3
858
+ that
859
+ decision. They're asking you that you
860
+ 4
861
+ just simply ignore it because the decision clearly
862
+ 5
863
+ was a decision made because as it is a direct result
864
+ 6
865
+ of a plea deal being worked out prior to the victims
866
+ 7
867
+ being able to speak.
868
+ 8
869
+ 9
870
+ 10
871
+ 11
872
+ 12
873
+ 13
874
+ 14
875
+ 15
876
+ 16
877
+ 17
878
+ 18
879
+ 19
880
+ 20
881
+ 21
882
+ 22
883
+ 23
884
+ 24
885
+ 25
886
+ THE COURT: But there was a pending case,
887
+ though, correct?
888
+ MR.
889
+ : As I understand the decision--
890
+ 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
+
908
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 18 of 32
909
+ 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
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 19 of 32
962
+ 19
963
+ 1
964
+ 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
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 20 of 32
1013
+ 20
1014
+ 2
1015
+ 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.

+

+
1067
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 21 of 32
1068
+ 21
1069
+ 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
+
1119
+
1120
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 22 of 32
1121
+ 22
1122
+ 1
1123
+ government to confer?
1124
+ 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
+
1228
+
1229
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 24 of 32
1230
+ 24
1231
+ 1
1232
+ work out a negotiated plea to that accord.
1233
+ 2
1234
+ 3
1235
+ THE COURT: well, all you can ask them to do
1236
+ is confer. I can't ask them to do anything beyond
1237
+ 4
1238
+ that. I mean, it is up to them to negotiate.
1239
+ 5
1240
+ MR.
1241
+ : I wouldn't quarrel with that.
1242
+ 6
1243
+ 7
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
+ 14
1254
+ 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
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 25 of 32

+ 22
1309
+ 23
1310
+ 24
1311
+ 25
1312
+ 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
1340
+
1341
+
1342
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 26 of 32
1343
+ 26
1344
+ 1
1345
+ 2
1346
+ 3
1347
+ 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
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 28 of 32
1448
+ 28
1449
+ 1
1450
+ 2
1451
+ 3
1452
+ 4
1453
+ 5
1454
+ 6
1455
+ 7
1456
+ 8
1457
+ 9
1458
+ 10
1459
+ 11
1460
+ 12
1461
+ 13
1462
+ 14
1463
+ 15
1464
+ 16
1465
+ 17
1466
+ 18
1467
+ 19
1468
+ 20
1469
+ 21
1470
+ 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.
1558
+
1559
+
1560
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 15 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/18/2008 Page 30 of 32
1561
+ 30
1562
+ 1
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

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.

+ and that she found her childhood hard to remember, unhappy and painful. (Page 8, GK
111
+ Contemp note)
112
+ 25. Plaintiff reports that her drug use has included marijuana and pain pills
113
+ without prescription and that on several occasions she has drunk too much alcohol. (Page

121

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

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

12
+ 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
+

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

10
+ June 4, 2009
11
+ 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
+ A
34
+ 1
35
+
36
+
37
+ 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

+ 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.

14
+ New York, NY 10007
15
+ 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.

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").

15
+ PRESIDENTIAL WOMEN'S CENTER TO COMPLY WITH SUBPOENA DUCES TECUM
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.

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

+

+
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.
