(USAFLS) To: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS) Sent: Thu Jul 03 11:36:42 2008 Subject: Epstein Hi Jeff — I just got an earful from the last of the victims' lawyers. lie is a former Broward County ASA and he represents three victims. He says that his clients can name many more victims and wanted to know if we can get out of the deal. I told him that, at this time, assuming that Epstein performs the last piece of the agreement, we are bound. He asked that, if there is the slightest hesitation on Epstein's part of completing his performance, that he and his clients be allowed to consult with our office before making a decision. 1 also couldn't remember if I told you about our meeting with the Sheriff's Office about the jail. Epstein is out at the stockade, not the jail. Goldberger and some psychiatrist have already met with him and have told him that, if he receives any less favorable treatment than others, Ken Starr and the whole crew will sue. He also told me that Epstein was "brilliant" and that he has already offered to teach GED classes. I sort of cocked my head at the "brilliant" comment and said, you know he only has a high school diploma, right? (I used my best, "don't believe the hype" voice. He was clearly shocked, and I explained that Epstein usually claims to have at least a master's degree, but other than a few college courses, he had no education above a high school diploma, which I think makes him ineligible to teach a GED course.) He also told us that Epstein is eligible for work release and will be placed on work release — in direct contradiction to what he told the agents a few months ago. A.

OFFICE • • 64: -k4eel&lteet'ntil • AND ASSOCIATES July 3, 2008 Ann Marie C. Villafana, AUSA United States Attorney's Office 500 South Australian Avenue West Palm Beach, Florida 33401 Dear Ms. Villafana: VIA CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED 7007 2680 0002 5519 8503 As you are aware, we represent several of the young girls that were victimized and abused by Jeffrey Epstein. While we are aware of his recent guilty plea and conviction in his State Court case, the sentence imposed in that case is grossly inadequate for a sexual predator of this magnitude. The information and evidence that has come to our attention in this matter leads to a grave concern that justice will not be served in this cause if Mr. Epstein is not aggressively prosecuted and appropriately punished. Based on our investigation and knowledge of this case, it is apparent that he has sexually abused more than 100 underage girls, and the evidence against him is overwhelmingly strong. As former Assistant State Attorneys with seven years' prosecution experience, we believe that the evidence against Mr. Epstein is both credible and deep and that he may be the most dangerous sexual predator of children that our country has ever seen. The evidence suggests that for at least 4 years he was sexually abusing as many as three to four girls a day. It is inevitable that if he is not confined to prison, he will continue to manipulate and sexually abuse children and destroy more lives. He is a sexual addict that focused all of his free time on sexually abusing children, and he uses his extraordinary wealth and power to lure in poor, underprivileged little girls and then also uses his wealth to shield himself from prosecution and liability. We are very concerned for the health and welfare of the girls he has already victimized, and concerned that if justice is not properly served now and he is not imprisoned for a very long time, he will get a free pass to sexually abuse children in the future. Futute abuse and victimization is obvious to anyone who really reviews the evidence in this case, and future sexual abuse of minors is inevitable unless he is prosecuted, tried and appropriately sentenced. Money and power should not allow a man to make his own laws, and he has clearly received preferential treatment at every step up to this point. If he were a man of average wealth or the abused girls were from middle or upper class families, then this man would spend the rest of his life in prison. In a country of true, blind justice, those distinctions are irrelevant, and we really hope he does not prove the point that a man can commit heinous crimes against children and buy his way out of it. If the Department of Justice's recent commitment to the protection of our children from child molesters is to be more than rhetoric, then this is the time and the case where the Department must step forward. We urge the Attorney General and our United States 2028 STRBET,81/ITE 202, HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA 33020 OFFICE: 954-414-8033/305-935-2011 FAX, 964-924-1630/305-935-4227 BEOBRADEDWARDSLAW.COM EFTA00194425

Ann Marie C. Villafana, AUSA United States Attorney's Office Page Two Attorney to consider the fundamental import of the vigorous enforcement of our Federal laws. We urge you to move forward with the traditional indictments and criminal prosecution commensurate with the crimes Mr. Epstein has committed, and we further urge you to take the steps necessary to protect (Au children from this very dangerous sexual perpetrator. We will help you to do this in any way possible to ensure that true Justice is served in this case.
