Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) From: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) Sent: Saturday, August 02, 2008 5:34 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: Fw: Jane Doe Litigation Attachments: 19_plts_resp_gov_notice.pdf Original Message From: Lee, Dexter (USAFLS) To: Acosta, Alex (USAFLS); Slpman, Jeff (USAFLS) Cc: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS); Jacobus, Wendy (USAFLS) Sent: Fri Aug 01 15:53:49 2008 Subject: Jane Doe Litigation Alex and Jeff, On Tuesday evening, July 29, I filed with the Court our notice advising that the government did not believe an evidentiary hearing was necessary, since there were only two facts which were relevant: (1) no federal charges in S.D.Fla. against Jeffrey Epstein; and (2) Epstein plead guilty to state charges on June 30, 2008, was sentenced, and is in jail in Palm Beach County. On Wednesday, I received an urgent phone message from Brad Edwards, counsel for the victims. He said he needed to speak with me to determine if this matter couldn't be resolved without a hearing or further intervention from the Court. When I called him back, Edwards told me he had obtained a copy of the state court plea bargain, and realized Epstein was going to be on probation after his incarceration was completed. Edwards understood that, if Epstein violated his probation, that could be a basis for further charges against Epstein. The tenor of his conversation was that, since he knew more, he could be convinced that his clients' interests are adequately protected by the deferral of prosecution agreement. Edwards requested: (1) a copy of the agreement between the USAO and Epstein; and (2) the opportunity to meet with USAO representatives about the agreement and how the provisions would work. I told him the agreement contained a confidentiality provision, and had been filed under seal in state court, but I would determine if it had been publicly filed anywhere. On Thursday, I called Edwards to tell him I still had not determine if the agreement had been publicly disclosed anywhere, but that I would be glad to meet with him and his clients next week Today, I verified with Marie that the agreement had not been filed by Michael Tein in the federal court civil litigation. Tein also called me for any information on the Jane Doe case, and I asked him if the agreement had been filed. He told me he had filed sealed motions with the court, in which references were made to the provisions of the agreement, but the agreement itself had not been filed. 331 EFTA00193615
