(USAFLS) Cc: Senior, Robert (USAFLS); Atkinson, Karen (USAFLS); Garcia, Rolando (USAFLS) Subject: Re: To the Civil Rights Chief Timing is everything. Right now I am at the NAC attending the Criminal Civil Rights Seminar. Your letter seems to cover everything, but I want to chat with Bob about it before we send it out. It should probably be addressed to Stephan Curran, who is the Deputy assigned to cover our District. Bob and I can talk Monday when I get back and we can send out the letter. Since Drew's shop is involved and has been for a while, they will hopefully agree with our/your conclusion. DSW Original Message From: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) To: Weinstein, David (USAFLS) Cc: Senior, Robert (USAFLS); Atkinson, Karen (USAFLS); Garcia, Rolando (USAFLS) Sent: Thu Feb 21 15:56:01 2008 Subject: To the Civil Rights Chief Hi David - I was just perusing the U.S. Attorney's Manual looking for an answer on another case and I noticed that Section 9-75.030 (regarding Coordination of Child Sex Abuse cases) says that cases involving violations of 18 USC 1591 (related to child sex trafficking) are supposed to be coordinated with CEOS and the Civil Rights Division. According to Section 8-3.120, prior to presentation to the grand jury, the U.S. Attorney is supposed to advise the Civil Rights Division in writing of the following: (a) Identity of the targets of the investigation; (b) The factual allegations to be investigated; (c) The statutes which may have been violated; (I) The United States Attorney's assessment of the significance of the case and whether the case is one of "national interest," and (e) The U.S. Attorney's proposed staffing of the matter (including whether a Civil Rights Division attorney should be assigned to work directly on the matter). Here is my proposal for such a written notification: Dear : Pursuant to USAM Section 8-3.120, I write to inform you of an ongoing investigation of a child exploitation matter that may result in charges of violet' targe. estiga '— t pstein, and a/k/a The inves'iga on as revea ed a effrey pstein would use hiss 1500 08-80736-CV-MARRA P-014633 EFTA00225128

assistants (Kellen, Marcinkova, and to arrange appointments with minors to engage in commercial sexual activity. ommunications were made via telephones. Once appointments were made, Epstein would travel to the Southern District of Florida, where he maintained a residence, and the minors would travel to his home in Palm Beach where the sexual activity would occur. The Office anticipates charges of violations of Title 18, united States Code, Sections 371, 2422, 2423, and 1591. The investigation of the case by the City of Palm Beach Police Department has resulted in press coverage because of the titillating nature of the facts, but we see this case as similar to other "sex tourism" cases charged by our office, and not a matter of "national interest" as' defined by the U.S. Attorney's Manual. With respect to staffing, the Office has consulted with the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, and we anticipate that the case will be staffed by at least one Assistant United States Attorney from our West Palm Beach office and at least one CEOS Attorney. If we determine that the case should be presented for an indictment, a copy will be provided to you. David - If you need any more info, please let me know. Also, the indictment is currently being reviewed by my supervisor. If you want to send the draft to Civil Rights now, please let me know. Thank you. A. Marie Villafana Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.
