Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) From: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 3:06 PM To: Senior, Robert (USAFLS); Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS); Acosta, Alex (USAFLS); Atkinson, Karen (USAFLS); Lee, Dexter (USAFLS) Subject: FW: Follow-up point Here is my proposed response. Dear Jay: Pursuant to the December letter, only those "individuals whom [the United States] was prepared to name in an Indictment as victims of an enumerated offense" are the beneficiaries of the agreement. That is the list of names that I provided to Messrs. Goldberger and Tein following the change of plea. Under the September/October agreement, all "individuals whom [the United States] has identified as victims" are the beneficiaries, so I would prepare a supplement to the earlier list to include identified victims whom we were not yet prepared to name in an indictment. The December modification replaces paragraphs 7 and 8 of the Agreement, including paragraphs 7A through 7C that are included in the October Addendum. This means that Mr. Epstein's waiver of "his right to contest damages up to an amount as agreed to between the identified individual and Epstein" will no longer exist, nor will Mr. Epstein's obligation to pay for the victims' counsel. Paragraphs 9 and 10 are still in effect. This includes the statement that there is no admission of civil or criminal liability, and that, "[e]xcept as to those individuals who elect to proceed EXCLUSIVELY under 18 USC § 2255, ... Epstein's signature [cannot] be construed as admissions or evidence of civil or criminal liability." I believe that this means that Mr. Epstein's agreement that the individuals on our list are "victims" as defined by statute applies only if the victims proceed exclusively under 18 USC 2255. I don't think that Mr. Epstein has to make any constructive admissions of conviction. He only needs to admit that the 32 girls whose names I have provided to Mr. Goldberger are "victims" of an offense listed in 18 U.S.C. 2255. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you. A. Marie Villafalia Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.

(USAFLS) Cc: Atkinson, Karen (USAFLS); [email protected] Subject: Re: Follow-up point Marie - In reviewing your December proposal, there are a couple of things I don't understand. 327 EFTA00190637
What limits are placed upon individuals who proceed under 2255 as if "Mr. Epstein had been tried federally and convicted of an enumerated offense." In other words, what individuals would have this right? And would these individual only have this right if they proceeded exclusively under 2255? Also, to what enumerated offenses do you think would Mr. Epstein have to make constructive admissions of conviction? and how many such offenses? And against whom? Remember that while you may have investigated various offenses, he only plead guilty to certain state crimes. Finally, would paragraphs 8-10 of the September Agreement still be operative? I am trying hard to understand what you have intended by the December letter. Alex has says he thinks it benefits Jeffrey, and I am open to understanding it that way. But I would like some clarity on these issues. Thanks -- Jay Wiliam Ann Mario C. (USAFI-51" [email protected]> 08/1412008 12.44 PM To <letkow.ligtkiiktand.com> cc 'Atkinson. Karen (LISAFLS)' <Karen [email protected]> Subject Follow-up point Hi Jay — I forgot to mention that I can no longer argue that the Court shouldn't force us to produce the agreement because we have already provided the victims with the relevant portion when I now understand from you that I have NOT provided them with the relevant portion.
