(USAFLS) Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 2:16 PM To: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS); Senior, Robert (USAFLS) Cc: Atkinson, Karen (USAFLS); Garcia, Rolando (USAFLS) Subject: Epstein update Hi Jeff and Bob — I am hoping that you have an update from Drew. I wanted to fill you in on recent events. Yesterday we did the first half of the grand jury presentation on the indictment. Many of the grand jurors expressed thanks for our return. After a break as 1 walked into the room, I overheard one juror telling another that he had been concerned that we were going to "whitewash" this case and not charge it. Epstein's lawyers arc using the civil lawsuits as an excuse to harass a number of the victims. One girl, who is a scholarship student at a local university, was hauled into the Dean of Students office to be served with a subpoena for a deposition. It is scheduled for Monday. A national crime victims service organization has received a grant from the Justice Department to provide legal representation to victims. They have agreed to provide counsel for our victims. The only problem is that the lawyers are located in Maryland. But they will try to find pro bono lawyers here to help out. I also told Bob that one of our victims tried to commit suicide last week. The FBI's victim-witness coordinator is doing her best to get counseling for all of our needy victims, but I just can't stress enough how important it is 1315 08-80736-CV-MARRA EX1 II BIT C-2 P-014781 EFTA00225401

for these girls to have a resolution in this case. The "please be patient" answer is really wearing thin, especially when Epstein's group is still on the attack while we are forced to wait on the sidelines. Your guidance is needed. Thank you. A.
