Craig confirms that newly discovered photographs would not affect Epstein's registration status and explains that his risk assessment file is temporarily with a vendor during a digitization project by the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services in Albany, expected to be available within 10 days. The prosecutors were seeking this information ahead of Epstein's bail hearing scheduled for the following Monday.

Just on the risk assessment, is there any way at all for them to pull that? We expect we may get questions on it at the bail hearing on Monday, so totally understand it's with the vendor but if it's all possible to pull that file so we can have a copy that would be great — just wanted to check. thanks very much again, IM• From: • Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2019 08:25 To: Cc: <Me Subject: Re: Epstein case/NYPD Sex Offender Monitoring Unit > The discovery of the photographs will not have any effect on, nor will it alter, the status of his sex offender registration. We have conferred with the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) in Albany in order to obtain his case file which would include the risk assessment. They are in the middle of a multi-year project to digitally scan all of their dots and the Epstein file is with the vendor. We should have it within 10 days. Lt.

New York State. I'm also copying my colleagues on the case, prosecutors and S so they're aware of the issue as well. Separately, at the bail hearing yesterday the judge asked if there is any effect from the discovery of nude and partially- nude photographs of women and girls who appear to be young, including possibly under 18 years of age, discovered during a search on Saturday in his New York residence. Do you know if there is any impact of that with respect to his New York registration and/or offender status? Or if there's another person I should check with about that? I'm happy to give anyone a call. Similarly, I believe that there may have been a 2011 state risk assessment in connection with Epstein—is it possible to obtain a copy of that? thanks very much, Assistant U.S. Attorney Southern District of New York From: Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2019 12:22 To: Subject: Epstein case/NYPD Sex Offender Monitoring Unit Mr. Thank you very much for taking the time today to speak to me regarding the Epstein case. As I mentioned Mr. Epstein is a registered Level 3 sex offender in the State Of New York and should he be released and establish residence in NYC he is legally obligated to appear at my office ever 90 days. In addition, he is required to have a new photo taken every 3 years (his current photo is 9 years old). If he is released his immediate appearance at my office should be mandatory. Please feel free to reach out to me should you have any additional questions or concerns in this matter.
