Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) From: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS) Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2007 6:02 PM To: Garcia, Rolando (USAFLS): Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) Cc: Acosta, Alex (USAFLS) Subject: Epstein Rolando informs me that Krischer said that the plea & sentencing will take place on the same day (December 16th ) in order to reduce the media frenzy. Krischer said that Epstein will be treated as a sex offender regardless of whether he registers or not. He said that "registration" takes place after Epstein completes his sentence. Therefore, he will be treated like any other sex offender. The problem is that just like any other sex offender, he can petition the court for work release. When Rolando asked Krischer whether he was going to oppose such a petition, Krischer responded that he will if it is in the agreement. I spoke to Lefkowitz. Lefkowitz confirmed the above understanding. We did not, however, discuss anything about work release —just that Epstein will be a sex offender and he'll be treated like any other sex offender. Lefkowitz confirmed that they will not contact any other victims. He also asked Jack Goldberger to provide him with any copies of agreements etc. he has with the State. Jay will forward them to me as soon as he receives them. Finally, Lefkowitz said that the statement in his letter that he "reserves [the) right to object to certain aspects of the §2255 provisions of the Agreement" refers to their belief that a lawyer who files a lawsuit for some of the class may have a direct conflict that may disqualify him/his firm if he's accepting fees to negotiate the settlement of the ()the(' members of the class. Lefkowitz point out the potential conflict to whoever is selected. My view is that those issues are between Epstein's lawyers and the victims' lawyers. 2598 08-80736-CV-MARRA P-014306 EFTA00189200
