+The defendant agrees to plead guilty to a two-count Information which
+charges the defendant as follows. Count 1 charges that the defendant intentionally
+harassed another person, that is, L.G., in an attempt to delay, prevent, and dissuade L.G.
+from attending or testifying in an official proceeding, that is a Federal Grand Jury
+appearance in the Southern District of Florida, in violation of Title 18, United States
+Code, Sections 1512(d)(2) and 2; and Count 2 charges that the defendant intentionally

+this plea agreement, including but not limited to the above-described scheme.

+evidence inviolate until all of the terms of this agreement have been satisfied.
+4. The defendant is aware that the sentence will be imposed by the Court after
+considering the Federal Sentencing Guidelines and Policy Statements (hereinafter
+"Sentencing Guidelines"). The defendant acknowledges and understands that the Court
+will compute an advisory sentence under the Sentencing Guidelines and that the
+applicable guidelines will be determined by the Court relying in part on the results of a
+Pre-Sentence Investigation by the Court's probation office, which investigation will

+certain circumstances, the Court may depart from the advisory sentencing guideline range
+that it has computed, and may raise or lower that advisory sentence under the Sentencing
+Guidelines. The defendant is further aware and understands that the Court is required to

+not bound to impose that sentence; the Court is permitted to tailor the ultimate sentence in
+light of other statutory concerns, and such sentence may be either more severe or less

+sentence within and up to the statutory maximum authorized by law for the offenses
+identified in paragraph 1 and that the defendant may not withdraw the plea solely as a
+result of the sentence imposed.
+The defendant further understands and acknowledges that, as to each of
+Counts 1 and 2 of the Information, the Court may impose a statutory maximum term of

+release, the Court may impose a fine of up to $100,000 as to each count.
+The defendant further understands and acknowledges that, in addition to

+jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida over his person
+3
+
+
+and/or the subject matter, and the defendant will not contest that the identified victims are
+persons who, while minors, were victims of violations of Title 18, United States Code,
+Sections(s) 2422 and/or 2423. The United States agrees to provide the defendant's
+attorneys with a list of the identified victims, which will not exceed forty, after the
+defendant has signed this agreement and has been sentenced. The United States further
+agrees to make a motion with the United States District Court for the Southern District of
+Florida for the appointment of a guardian ad litem for the identified victims and the
+defendant's counsel may contact the identified victims through that guardian.
+10. The defendant further understands and acknowledges that he must
+undertake certain actions with the State Attorney's Office for the 15th Judicial Circuit in
+and for Palm Beach County (hereinafter, "State Attorney's Office") in order to satisfy the
+United States' federal interest in the investigation and prosecution of his offenses, in
+accordance with the Justice Department's Petite policy. Epstein understands and
+acknowledges that the United States Attorney has no authority to require the State
+Attorney's Office to abide by any terms of this Agreement. Epstein understands that it is
+his obligation to undertake discussion with the State Attorney's Office to ensure
+compliance with these procedures.
+11.
+In addition to entering a guilty plea in the instant case, the defendant agrees
+to plead guilty to an Information filed by the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office
+charging an offense for which the defendant must register as a sex offender, that is,
+solicitation of minors to engage in prostitution, in violation of Fl. Stat. 796.03. The
+defendant must enter this guilty plea before he is sentenced on the federal offenses.
+12. м
+The defendant agrees that he and the Palm Beach County State Attorney's
+Office will make a joint, binding recommendation that the Court impose a sentence of at
+least eighteen (18) months' imprisonment to be followed by at least twelve (12) months
+of community control/home confinement to be served upon the defendant's release from
+4
+
+
+federal prison. Those sentences may run concurrently with the federal sentence imposed
+pursuant to this agreement. [NB: The other option is: The defendant and the Palm
+Beach County State Attorney's Office shall make a joint, binding recommendation
+that the Court impose a sentence of at least sixty (60) months' probation, which will
+include at least twelve (12) months of community control/home confinement to be
+served upon the defendant's release from federal prison.]

+State Attorney's Office and to waive the right to appeal his conviction and sentence in the
+state court.
+The defendant agrees to provide to the U.S. Attorney's Office copies of all
+proposed agreements with the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office prior to
+entering into those agreements.
+15.
+The defendant agrees that the timely completion of these actions is material
+to this agreement and is supported by independent consideration and that a breach of any
+one of these conditions allows the United States to elect to terminate the agreement and to
+investigate and prosecute Epstein for any and all federal offenses.
+16.
+The United States reserves the right to inform the Court and the probation
+office of all facts pertinent to the sentencing process, including all relevant information
+concerning the offenses committed, whether charged or not, as well as concerning the
+defendant and the defendant's background, and to respond to any questions from the
+Court and the Probation Office and to any misstatements of fact or law. Subject only to
+the express terms of any agreed-upon sentencing recommendations contained in this
+Agreement, this Office further reserves the right to make any recommendation as to the
+quality and quantity of punishment.
+17.
+The defendant is aware that the sentence has not yet been determined by the
+Court. The defendant also is aware that any estimate of the probable sentencing range or
+5
+
+
+sentence that the defendant may
+receive, whether that estimate comes from the
+defendant's attorney, the government, or the probation office, is a prediction, not a
+promise, and is not binding on the government, the probation office or the Court. The
+defendant understands further that any recommendation that the government makes to the
+Court as to sentencing, whether pursuant to this agreement or otherwise, is not binding on
+the Court and the Court may disregard the recommendation in its entirety. The defendant
+understands and acknowledges, as previously acknowledged in paragraph 4 above, that
+the defendant may not withdraw his plea based upon the Court's decision not to accept a
+sentencing
+recommendation made by the defendant, the government, or a
+recommendation made jointly by both the defendant and the government.
+WAIVER OF RIGHT TO APPEAL AND COLLATERALLY
+ATTACK THE SENTENCE. The defendant is aware that Title 18, United States Code,
+Section 3742 affords the defendant the right to appeal the sentence imposed in this case.
+Acknowledging this, in exchange for the undertakings made by the United States in this
+plea agreement, the defendant hereby waives all rights conferred by Section 3742 to
+appeal any sentence imposed, including any restitution order, or to appeal the manner in
+which the sentence was imposed, unless the sentence exceeds the maximum permitted by
+statute. The defendant further voluntarily and expressly waives, to the maximum extent
+permitted by federal law, the right to collaterally attack his sentence in any
+post-conviction proceeding, including a motion on any ground brought under 28 U.S.C. §
+2254, 28 U.S.C. § 2255, 18 U.S.C. § 3572, or 18 U.S.C. § 3771. The defendant further
+understands that nothing in this agreement shall affect the government's right and/or duty
+to appeal as set forth in Title 18, United States Code, Section 3742(b). However, if the
+United States appeals the defendant's sentence pursuant to Section 3742(b), the defendant
+shall be released from the above waiver of appellate rights. By signing this agreement,
