This is an internal email from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) dated September 18, 2020, discussing upcoming matters including the arrest of an MCC guard who worked in the unit the night of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide.
The email is a weekly update from the Public Corruption Unit (PCU) discussing three main items: an upcoming NYCHA meeting, a legal argument in the Cops case, and the planned arrest of Robert Adams, a Metropolitan Correctional Center guard. Adams was indicted for bribery after allegedly coercing a woman into sex at a motel in exchange for not reporting contraband she was smuggling. Notably, Adams was working in the Special Administrative Measures (SAMS) unit the night of Jeffrey Epstein's August 2019 suicide and had been interviewed as part of that investigation. The bribery charge emerged from that investigation.

On Monday we have the NYCHA meeting with the Brass. The team circulated the relevant materials by email earlier this week. Robert Adams Arrest. At some point next week we expect to arrest Robert Adams, a guard at MCC who we indicted yesterday with bribery in connection with an incident last year when he caught a woman smuggling in contraband, and told her she wouldn't get in trouble if she went to a motel and had sex with him, which she did. The FBI is working on the details and exact timing of the arrest; we are exploring whether an arrest at MCC or a voluntary surrender would be appropriate. (If the name sounds familiar, Adams was working in the SAMS unit the night of Epstein's suicide, and we interviewed him and got him appointed counsel in connection with that investigation; this charge spun out of that). We plan to do a press release. Have a nice weekend! From: =, (USANYS) Sent: Friday, September 18, 2020 8:52 AM To: Subject: the week ahead Happy National Cheeseburger Day!
