• Epstein's ex-butler sentenced to 18 months for trying to sell billionaire sex offender's jour... Page 1 of 2 The Palm Beach Post Print this page Close Epstein's ex-butler sentenced to 18 months for trying to sell billionaire sex offender's journal for $5oK By JANE MUSGRAVE Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Updated: 4:35 p.m. Friday, June 18, 2010 Posted: 11:59 a.m. Friday, June 18, 2010 A former houseman of billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein Friday received the same 18-month sentence as his onetime employer. However, white Epstein was sentenced to 18 months in jail for sexually exploiting underage girls, Alfredo Rodriguez got the same sentence for trying to sell a journal that recorded the Palm Beaches sexual dalliances. U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra acknowledged that it didn't make sense to give Rodriguez a longer sentence than Epstein. However, had Rodriguez given investigators the joumal when they asked for it, Epstein might not have received such a light sentence, the judge said. "If the information had come to light sooner, Mr. Epstein's situation would have turned out differently," Marra said. Instead, Rodriguez, 56, tried to sell the journal for $50,000 to an attorney who is representing one of nearly two dozen women who filed civil lawsuits against Epstein. Further, on March 18, the same day he pleaded guilty to obstructing justice, the Kendall man was arrested in Miami for possession of guns that federal agents believed were used in an illegal firearms smug lin ring. He is expected to plead guilty to those charges, said Assistant U.S. Attorney She described Rodriguez's failure to produce the journal as an opportunity lost for the federal government's investigation of Epstein. A federal grand jury was investigating whether young girls were being brought to Epstein's mansion along the Intracoastal Waterway from other states. Some of the information in the journal and information Rodriguez provided after his arrest seemed to confirm those suspicions. Whether the journal could have been used to slap Epstein with charges that could have sent him to prison for decades, is unknown, .aid. "Would it have significantly advanced the ball? Yes," she said. Instead, federal prosecutors halted the grand jury investigation and cut a deal with the 57-year-old high- flying money manager. He pleaded guilty to two state charges and served 13 months of an 18-month sentence. In addition, he agreed to pay for attorneys to represent some of the young women who claim they were brought to his mansion for sexually charged massages when they were as young as 14. Some of the women hired their own attorneys. Of the nearly two dozen lawsuits that were filed, Epstein has settled all but seven and also reached agreements with 12 women who elected not to file suit. q-a-wm-1133a-3- qi(f http://www.palmbeachpost.cominews/crime/epsteins-ex-butler-sentenced-to-18-months-fo... 6/21/2010 EFTA00129587

Epstein's ex-butler sentenced to 18 months for trying to sell billionaire sex offender's jour... Page 2 of 2 0 0 Federal public defender Dave Brannon, who represented Rodriguez, suggested his client's financial problems - which prompted him to seek illicit ways to make money - were the result of his association with Epstein. Until this year, he had been a law-abiding citizen. Having worked for the wealthy for years, none would hire him after they learned that he had worked for Epstein. "None of the wealthy wanted anything to do with anyone who was associated with what went on in Mr. Epstein's house," Brannon said.

Details: In October 2009, Mi Division opened an obstruction of justice case against ALFREDO ODRIGUEZ. RODRIGUEZ was the previous hgdse manager and butler to alm Beach County resident JEFFREY. STEIN. EPSTEIN was the s ject of child prostitution, 31E matter, worked by Miami Division beginning in 2006. Investigation of EPSTEIN revealed that he brought underage girls to his home to perform massages and paid them to engage in sex acts with himself and one another. The U.S. Attorney's Office entered into a non-prosecution agreement where EPSTEIN pled guilty to lesser state offenses in Florida state court. EPSTEIN was sentenced to a period of state prison followed by community supervision as a registered sex offender. EPSTEIN's victims filed suit against EPSTEIN in state and federal court seeking damages in civil litigation. During the discovery process, RODRIGUEZ was deposed by attorney BRADLEY EDWARDS who represented several of the victims. After his deposition, RODRIGUEZ contacted EDWARDS and advised that he had lists of additional victims that he had not previously disclosed to law enforcement during the criminal investigation or after being served with a subpoena in the civil case. RODRIGUEZ advised he would not turn the information over to the attorney but instead wanted monetary compensation.

Also during the civil litigation, EDWARDS' law firm contacted STEVEN HOFFENBERG as a potential plaintiff's witness against EPSTEIN. HOFFENBERG is a federal inmate at Fort Dix'Federal Correctional Institution (FCI), inmate number 35601-054. HOFFENBERG was a former business associate or acquaintance of EPSTEIN. HOFFENBERG is serving a 20-year sentence for his role in a Ponzi scheme and securities fraud that was worked by the New York field office, 196C- NY-235483. Through correspondence, HOFFENBERG advised EDWARDS' firm that he had information regarding JEFFREY EPSTEIN being involved in the murder of a Columbus, Ohio attorney named ARTHUR L. SHAPIRO.

EPSTEIN wa the subject of child prostitution, 31E ma er, wor ed by Miami Division beginning in 2006. Inves igation of EPSTEIN revealed that he brought underage girls to his home to perform massages and paid them to engage in sex acts with himself and one another. The U.S. Attorney's Office entered into a non-prosecution agreement with EPSTEIN where EPSTEIN pled guilty to state offenses in Florida state court. EPSTEIN was sentenced to a period of state prison followed by community supervision as a registered sex offender. EPSTEIN completed his community supervision in July 2010. EPSTEIN's victims filed suit against EPSTEIN in state and federal court seeking damages in civil litigation. During the discovery process, RODRIGUEZ was deposed by attorney BRADLEY EDWARDS who represented several of the victims. After his deposition, RODRIGUEZ contacted EDWARDS and advised that he had lists of additional victims that he had not previously disclosed to law enforcement during the criminal investigation or after being served with a subpoena in the civil case.

In November 2009, RODRIGUEZ attempted to sell the information to a UCE for $50,000.00, which resulted in the above captioned case. Approximately three weeks ago, information was provided to Miami Division, PBCRA, that ROBERT COUTURIER, an interior designer and architect based in New York, was hired by EPSTEIN for remodeling and design services at EPSTEIN's residence located in the Virgin Islands. COUTURIER reportedly designed a bedroom in EPSTEIN's island residence with decor and furniture appropriate for teenage girls, with pink furnishings and bunk beds. In addition, COUTURIER reported seeing EPSTEIN in the company of what appeared to be an underage girl. It is unclear whether the underage girl with EPSTEIN was observed at the Virgin Island residence or at EPSTEIN's Palm Beach County home. EPSTEIN and COUTURIER may be currently involved in civil litigation against one another for services COUTURIER provided. It is requested that New York Division interview COUTURIER regarding work and services he performed for EPSTEIN and COUTURIER's observation of potential underage girls in EPSTEIN's company.

After being advised of the identity of the interviewing agent, and the nature of the interview, COUTURIER provided the following information: COUTURIER first met JEFFREY EPSTEIN sometime between 1985-1988 and he was introduced to EPSTEIN by YSABEL GOLDSMITH. At that time, EPSTEIN was looking for a designer to decorate his place located at 9 East 71st Street, Manhattan, NY. COUTURIER was interviewed for the job but EPSTEIN did not hire him on that occasion. COUTURIER and EPSTEIN travel in the same social circles and there is a lot of gossip surrounding EPSTEIN. The talk is mostly about how much he enjoys the.company of young girls and women. COUTURIER stated that EPSTEIN always made him feel uncomfortable and strange when he was around him so COUTURIER was friendly and courteous to him but does not consider EPSTEIN his friend. There is no doubt that EPSTEIN is very intelligent and can carry a conversation about any subject but there is something about him that is weird and off-putting. He is incredibly wealthy and COUTURIER believes that most people around him do not talk too much about him because that type of wealth usually buys power. Although people might have information about EPSTEIN they might be reluctant to talk; it is easier to excuse his bad behavior or turn a blind eye to it. COUTURIER s ed that about six or seven months ago a woman by the name of , who is EPSTEIN's assistant, called him and asked if he wou consider taking on the challenge of decorating EPSTEIN's place in Manhattan and if he would also consider decorating his place in the US Virgin Islands (USVI). COUTURIER advised these are just two of the homes he currently owns but EPSTEIN also has an apartment in Paris, France and a huge ranch somewhere in the Midwest in the U.S. InveWganceon 11/16/2010 at New York, New York F kt, 72 —MM —113327 ••"‹, Date dictated by This document contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of the FBL It is the property of the FBI and is loaned to your agency; it and its contents are not to be distributed outside your agency.

I FD-302a (Rev. 104-9S) 72-MM-113327 OwSualimdFD402of Robert Couturier ,On 11/16/2010 .Page 2 COUTURIER stated that by this time, he had heard of EPSTEIN's incarceration and thought that EPSTEIN had "paid his debt to society" and maybe things had changed with him so he went into the meeting trying to be objective. EPSTEIN also stated that to be honest, he would be making a lot of money if he took the project. The first meeting took place sometime in April or May 2010 and , EPSTEIN's assistant, showed him the overall plans of the USVI house. Although EPSTEIN was supposed to attend the meeting he could not make it so handled it. Ten days later, EPSTEIN, Will, and his other assistant LESLIE LAST NAME UNKNOWN (LNU) all ew from Palm Beach, FL to the house on the USVI after the initial meeting. Sometime in June 2010, COUTURIER and EPSTEIN plus his assistants, flew to the USVI on EPSTEIN's private plane. They took it from Palm Beach to the island and stayed there for a day and a half. EPSTEIN was very excited and appeared to be like a kid with a new toy. COUTURIER recalls that EPSTEIN kept the house very cold and his bedroom was white but had no lights in the room, it was dark and very austere. The focal point of the room was an enormous bed. EPSTEIN also showed him another room in which he wanted to place four beds and wanted to have it decorated in a very colorful palette for his girls. EPSTEIN told COUTURIER him that he does not have any friends and that he does not really like people. EPSTEIN stated that he has girls coming to spend time with him in the island. EPSTEIN then lamented that "the girls" are only interested in Facebook and MySpace and that he wanted the space in this bedroom to be comfortable and have access to the Internet as they were online so much. COUTURIER did not ask how old these girls were or anything about them. He did not ask him any personal questions. COUTURIER stated that on the flight back he grew increasingly uncomfortable. Although he did not see any of the young girls that EPSTEIN was talking about he was not sure if he could do this job for him. COUTURIER added that every time he met with EPSTEIN he had his assistants there who are all very attractive young women and others unknown to him but all appeared to be over the age of 18.

COUTURIER showed him a massage room where he had photographs ("artistic renditions" according to COUTURIER) of young women in the nude, ranging from age 15 through 20 all hanging from the walls of this massage room. COUTURIER did not ask him any questions about this room and moved on to the rest of the house. COUTURIER then came back to New York and started out drawing plans and although he did not have a contract, EPSTEIN did give him a check for $50,000.00 as a deposit for his services. COUTURIER stated that his plans went back and forth between his offices and EPSTEIN's people but EPSTEIN never seemed happy. COUTURIER sent some of his associates back to the USVI to take measurements and adjust his plans and EPSTEIN was pleased in some aspects but was still highly critical. COUTURIER then decided that this was not the right job for him. COUTURIER stated that in the back of his mind, he wanted to have "a way out" should he decide that he could not work with EPSTEIN which was why he did not have a formal contract signed. EPSTEIN was very difficult to work with and COUTURIER found that EPSTEIN had not changed his pattern of behavior obviously if he was having the home in the USVI decorated for girls to stay with him. This did not sit well with COUTURIER. He then wrote EPSTEIN a note apologizing for.not being able to take on this job. COUTURIER stated that he could not just drop everything or any of his projects whenever EPSTEIN wanted him at the site (USVI). EPSTEIN was very persistent but COUTURIER was firm in his decision. In July 2010, EPSTEIN tried to sue him for his deposit and he has many attorneys at his disposal who are very aggressive. COUTURIER's attorney stated that if they decided to litigate this case, it was going to be a long process. COUTURIER decided to settle and returned $15,000.00 to EPSTEIN to save himself the hassle of litigation. COUTURIER stated that EPSTEIN and I were a cou le but had broken up.

Epstein also wanted to have the room well equipped with computers and Internet connectivity as Epstein explained to Couturier that "all these girls were on Facebook and MySpace all the time" and was trying to make them comfortable. Couturier was given 550,000.00 as a deposit but he never signed a contract with Epstein. Epstein then sued Couturier for this money as he refused Epstein's offer. In the end, in order to save the expense of a lengthy litigation process, Couturier settled with Epstein and returned $15,000.00 to Epstein. Couturier provided contact information for Epstein and some of his employees at the conclusion of the interview. He advised that if he ever ran across someone who had information on Epstein he would provide them with writer's contact numbers. Therefore, the New York Division considers this lead covered. Should any further assistance be needed, the Palm Beach RA can reach out to writer who is familiar with captioned investigation. • • UNCLASSIFIED 2 EFTA00129619
