AMENDED APPLICATION
Amended Application for Second Warrant and Order
for Cellphone Location and Pen Register Information
Mag.
The United States of America, by its attorney, Audrey Strauss, Acting United States
Attorney for the Southern District of New York,
Assistant United States
Attorney, of counsel, respectfully requests that the Court issue the accompanying proposed Second
Warrant and Order for prospective and historical location information and pen register information
for a cellphone. As grounds for this Amended Application the Government relies on the following
facts and authorities.
I. Introduction
I. lam an Assistant United States Attorney in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern
District of New York.
This Amended Application is submitted in conjunction with the
accompanying amended affidavit of a law enforcement agent ("Amended Agent Affidavit"), to be
sworn before this Court, and incorporated by reference herein. I make this Amended Application
based on information and belief, including the Amended Agent Affidavit, my review of other
documents in the case, and information received from investigative personnel.
2. The Investigating Agency, Target Cellphone, Subscriber, Target Subject, Service
Provider, Subject Offenses, Successor Service Provider, and Successor Cellphone referenced in
this Amended Application are as specified in the Amended Agent Affidavit.
2019.07.24
EFTA00096012
II. Legal Authority
A. Prospective Location Intormation
3. The Government seeks to obtain both precision location information and cell site data
for the Target Cellphone on a prospective basis (the "Prospective Location Information") for a
period of 45 days from the date of this order — the same period of time for which a warrant for a
tracking device may be granted under Rule 41(e)(2)(C). It bears noting, however, that while the
Prospective Location Information may permit "tracking" the user of the phone in the colloquial
sense, this is not an application for a warrant for a "tracking device" as defined in Fed. R. Crim.
P. 41(a)(2)(E) and 18 U.S.C. § 3117(b). Those provisions only apply where an agent is seeking to
physically install a tracking device on a given object.
Instead, the Prospective Location
Information will be obtained by requiring the Service Provider to provide the information.
4. The authority for this application is found in 18 U.S.C. § 2703(c)(1), which authorizes
a court of competent jurisdiction to require any electronic communication service provider (which
includes a cellular telephone service provider') to disclose any "record or other information
pertaining to a subscribe?' other than the "contents of communications," when the government
obtains, inter alts, a warrant under the applicable procedures of Rule 41. See 18 U.S.C. §
2703(cX1)(A). Because data concerning a subscriber's location, such as precision location
information and cell site data, constitutes "information pertaining to a subscribe?' that does not
include the "contents of communications," that data is among the types of information available
I See 18 U.S.C. § 2711(1) (incorporating by cross-reference statutory definitions set forth in 18
U.S.C. § 2510); 18 U.S.C. § 2510(15) (defining "electronic communication service" as "any
service which provides to users thereof the ability to send or receive wire or electronic
communications").
2
2019.07.24
EFTA00096013
under § 2703(c)(1XA).2 Further, as specified in 18 U.S.C. § 2711(3), this Court is a court of
competent jurisdiction under the Stored Communications Act because it has jurisdiction over the
Subject Offenses.
5. The Government's request for cell site data also implicates the pen register statute,
because such data constitutes signaling information used by the Service Provider to route
communications to and from the Target Cellphone. In order to collect such data, a valid pen
register order is required? Accordingly, I hereby certify pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3122 that such
signaling information is relevant to an ongoing investigation being conducted by the Investigating
Agency into suspected violations of the Subject Offenses by the Target Subject.
B. Historical Location Information
6. The Government also seeks historical cell site data for the Target Cellphone for the
period from June I, 2020 to the present (the "Historical Location Information"). Because such
data—like "Prospective Location Information"—constitutes information concerning a subscriber,
the Court is authorized to order the Service Provider to provide this data pursuant to a warrant
2 See In re Application, 460 F. Supp. 2d 448, 459-60 & n. 55 (S.D.N.Y. 2006) (Kaplan, J.)
(cellphone location information falls within § 2703(c)(1)); accord, e.g., United States v. Caraballo,
963 F. Supp. 2d 341, 361 (D.Vt. 2013); In re Order, 632 F. Supp. 2d 202, 207 (E.D.N.Y. 2008);
In re Application, 405 F. Supp. 2d 435, 444-45 (S.D.N.Y. 2005). But see In re Application, 849
F. Supp. 2d 526, 574 (D.Md. 2011) (rejecting view that cellular location data falls within the scope
of the SCA and finding that phone must be treated as "tracking device" for purposes of Rule 41
where used to collect location data); In re Application, 2009 WL 159187, at *5 *6 (S.D.N.Y.
Jan.13, 2009) (McMahon, J.) (same).
3 See 18 U.S.C. § 3121 (prohibiting use of pen register or trap and trace device without an order
under the pen register statute); 3127(3) & (4) (defining pen register and trap and trace device to
include devices or processes that record, inter alio, signaling information). Although cell site data
constitutes "signaling" information within the meaning of the pen register statute, a separate statute
precludes the Government from relying "solely" on the authority provided by the pen register
statute to ascertain a subscriber's location. 47 U.S.C. § 1002(a). Here, the Government seeks to
obtain such data pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2703(c) as well as the pen register statute, rather than
"solely" under the latter statute. See In re Application, 460 F. Supp. 2d at 456-59.
3
2019.07.24
EFTA00096014
application under 18 U.S.C. § 2703(c), under the applicable procedures of Rule 41. See 18 U.S.C.
§ 2703(c)(1)(A). I respectfully submit that the same probable cause supporting the Government's
request for a warrant to obtain the Prospective Location Information requested above also supports
the issuance of a warrant under § 2703(c) for the requested Historical Location Information. In
addition, the Government seeks toll records for the same period as the Historical Location
Information. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2703(d), I respectfully submit that the Amended Agent
Affidavit offers specific and articulable facts showing that there are reasonable grounds to believe
that the toll record information sought is relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation.
C. Pen Register Information
7. Finally, the Government seeks an order pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3121-26 authorizing
the use of a pen register on the Target Cellphone for a period of 45 days from the date of this order.
Specifically, the Government seeks an order directing the Service Provider to furnish any
information, facilities, and technical assistance necessary to operate, unobtrusively and with
minimum disruption of service, a pen register and trap and trace device to capture all dialing,
routing, addressing, or signaling information associated with each call transmitted to or from the
Target Cellphone, as specified further in the proposed Second Warrant and Order (the "Pen
Register Information").4
4 The Government is also not seeking authorization to obtain post-cut-through dialed digits
("PCTDD"), or digits that are dialed after a telephone call from the Target Cellphone has been
connected. Pursuant to the attached Order, if possible, the Service Provider will forward only pre-
cut-through-dialed digits to the Investigating Agency.
However, if the Service Provider's
technical capabilities require it to forward all dialed digits, including PCTDD, to the Investigating
Agency, the Investigating Agency will only decode and forward to the agents assigned to the
investigation the numbers that are dialed before the call is cut through.
4
2019.07.24
EFTA00096015
8. I hereby certify pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3122 that the Pen Register Information is
relevant to an ongoing investigation being conducted by the Investigating Agency into suspected
violations of the Subject Offenses by the Target Subject.
D. Sealing and Non-Disclosure Order to Service Provider
9. When the Government obtains records or information under § 2703(c), it is not required
to notify the subscriber or customer. 18 U.S.C. § 2703(c)(3). Additionally, the Government may
obtain an order precluding the Service Provider from notifying the subscriber or any other third-
party of the warrant or order obtained, for such period as the Court deems appropriate, where there
is reason to believe that such notification will result in endangering the life or physical safety of
an individual, flight from prosecution, destruction of or tampering with evidence, or intimidation
of potential witnesses, or will otherwise seriously jeopardize the investigation. 18 U.S.C.
§ 2705(b).
10. Further, 18 U.S.C. § 3123(d) provides that an order directing installation of a pen
register or trap and trace device shall direct the pertinent service provider "not to disclose the
existence of the pen register or trap and trace device or the existence of the investigation to the
listed subscriber, or to any other person unless or until otherwise ordered by the Court."
II. Accordingly, as explained further in the Amended Agent Affidavit, in light of the
confidential nature of the continuing criminal investigation and the adverse consequences expected
in the event of premature notification, the Government respectfully requests that the Court direct
the Service Provider not to notify the Subscriber or any other person of the Second Warrant and
Order sought herein for a period of one year, subject to extension upon application to the Court, if
necessary.
12. For similar reasons, I respectfully request that the proposed Second Warrant and Order,
this Amended Application, and the accompanying Amended Agent Affidavit, be maintained under
5
2019.07.24
EFTA00096016
seal until the Court orders otherwise, except that the Government be permitted without further
order of this Court to serve this Second Warrant and Order on the Service Provider; provide copies
of the Second Warrant and Order or the supporting Amended Application and Amended Agent
Affidavit as need be to personnel assisting the Government in the investigation and prosecution of
this matter; and disclose these materials as necessary to comply with discovery and disclosure
obligations in any prosecutions related to this matter.
III. Prior Requests
13. As set forth in the Amended Agent Affidavit, the Government previously requested
Cellphone Location and Pen Register information for the Target Cellphone in an Application and
Agent Affidavit submitted on or about June 29, 2020.5 Also on or about June 29, 2020, United
States Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker granted the application and signed a Warrant and
Order for the requested information. On June 30, 2020, the Government learned that the Agent
Affidavit contained two inadvertent errors. Accordingly, the Government is submitting this
Amended Application and Amended Agent Affidavit to correct those errors and to seek a Second
Warrant and Order.
5 The original application also sought authorization for Cellphone Location and Pen Register
information for a second Target Cellphone,
, which was identified as Target
Cellphone-1 in that application and which was also granted on or about June 29, 2020. Because
there were no errors in the application with respect to Target Cellphone-1, the Government does
seek a Second Warrant and Order with respect to that phone.

Amended Agent Affidavit in Support of Second Warrant and Order
for Cellphone Location and Pen Register Information
STATE OF NEW YORK
)
) ss.
COUNTY OF NEW YORK )
being duly sworn, deposes and states:
1. Introduction
1. I have been a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBP" or
"Investigating Agency") since 2017. As such, I am a "federal law enforcement officer" within the
meaning of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(a)(2)(C), that is, a government agent engaged
in enforcing the criminal laws and duly authorized by the Attorney General to request a search
warrant. I am currently assigned to investigate violations of criminal law relating to the sexual
exploitation of children as part of an FBI Task Force. I have gained expertise in this area through
classroom training and daily work related to these types of investigations. As part of my
responsibilities, I have been involved in the investigation of cases involving sex trafficking,
enticement of minors, and transportation of minors for illegal sex acts, and have participated in the
execution of search warrants involving electronic evidence.
2. Requested Information. I respectfully submit this Affidavit pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
§§ 2703(c) and (c)(1)(A) and the applicable procedures of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41;
2019.07.24
EFTA00096019
18 U.S.C. §§ 2703(d) & 2705; and 18 U.S.C. §§ 3121-3126, in support of a second warrant and
order for prospective location information, historical location information, toll records, and pen
register information, for the Target Cellphone identified below (collectively, the "Requested
Information").
3. Basis for Knowledge. This Affidavit is based upon my participation in the
investigation, my examination of reports and records, and my conversations with other law
enforcement agents and other individuals, as well as my training and experience. Because this
Affidavit is being submitted for the limited purpose of obtaining the Requested Information, it
does not include all the facts that I have learned during the course of this investigation. Where the
contents of documents and the actions, statements, and conversations of others are reported herein,
they are reported in substance and in part, except where otherwise indicated. In addition, unless
otherwise indicated, statements by others referenced in this Affidavit were not necessarily made
to me, but may have been provided to me by someone else to whom I have spoken or whose report
I have read (and who in turn may have had either direct or indirect knowledge of the statement).
Similarly, unless otherwise indicated, information in this Affidavit resulting from surveillance
does not necessarily set forth my personal observations, but may have been provided to me by
other law enforcement agents who observed the events, and to whom I have spoken or whose
report I have read.
4. Target Cellphone, Subscriber, Target Subject, and Service Provider. The Target
Cellphone referenced in this Affidavit is the cellphone assigned call number
(the
"Target Cellphone"). As further discussed below, the Target Cellphone is subscribed to in the
name of "G Max" (the "Subscriber"). GHISLAINE MAXWELL is believed to use the Target
2
2019.07.24
EFTA00096020
Cellphone and is a Target Subject of this investigation. AT&T is the Service Provider for the
Target Cellphone.
5. Precision Location Capability.
Cellphone service providers have technical
capabilities that allow them to collect at least two kinds of information about the locations of the
cellphones to which they provide service: (a) precision location information, also known as E-911
Phase II data, GPS data, or latitude-longitude data, and (b) cell site data, also known as
"tower/face" or "tower/sector" information. Precision location information provides relatively
precise location information about a cellphone, which a provider can typically collect either via
GPS tracking technology built into the phone or by triangulating the device's signal as received
by the provider's nearby cell towers. Cell site data, by contrast, reflects only the cell tower and
sector thereof utilized in routing any communication to and from the cellphone, as well as the
approximate range of the cellphone from the tower during the communication (sometimes referred
to as "per-call measurement" ("PCM") or "round-trip time" ("RTT") data). Because cell towers
are often a half-mile or more apart, even in urban areas, and can be ten or more miles apart in rural
areas, cell site data is typically less precise than precision location information. Based on my
training and experience, I know that the Service Provider has the technical ability to collect
precision location information from any cellphone on its network, including by initiating a signal
on the Service Provider's network to determine the phone's location. I further know that cell site
data is routinely collected by the Service Provider in the course of routing calls placed to or from
any cellphone on their network.'
Toll records are sometimes necessary or helpful in order to obtain or interpret historical cell site
data and are therefore also requested herein.
3
2019.07.24
EFTA00096021
6. Successor Service Provider. Because it is possible that the Target Subject may change
cellphone service provider during the course of this investigation, it is requested that the warrant
and investigative order requested apply without need for further order to any Successor Service
Provider who may provide service to the Target Cellphone during the time frames at issue herein.
II. Corrected Facts Establishing Probable Cause
7. Although I understand that probable cause is not necessary to obtain all of the
Requested Information, I respectfully submit that probable cause exists to believe that the
Requested Information will lead to the location of a person, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, to be
arrested for the crimes of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, in
violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371; enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, in
violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422; conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal
sexual activity, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371; transporting a minor with intent to engage in
criminal sexual activity, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2423(a); and perjury, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
§ 1623 (the "Subject Offenses").
8. On June 29, 2020, a grand jury in the Southern District of New York returned an
indictment charging GHISLAINE MAXWELL with the Subject Offenses. The Indictment
charging MAXWELL is attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Indictment"). That same day, United
States Magistrate Judge Lisa Margaret Smith signed a warrant for MAXWELL's arrest, which is
attached as Exhibit B hereto (the "Arrest Warrant").
9. In light of these pending charges in the Indictment and the issuance of the Arrest
Warrant, GHISLAINE MAXWELL is subject to arrest for the Subject Offenses.
10. Also on or about June 29, 2020, the Government submitted an Application and
accompanying Agent Affidavit seeking a Warrant and Order permitting the FBI to obtain, among
4
2019.07.24
EFTA00096022
other things, Cellphone Location Information and Pen Register Information for the Target
Cellphone.' Those documents were filed under the docket number 20 Mag. 6770. The original
Application and Agent Affidavit are attached as Exhibit C hereto. That same day, United States
Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker signed the requested Warrant and Order for the Target
Cellphone, also filed under docket number 20 Mag. 6770. The original Warrant and Order for the
Target Cellphone is attached as Exhibit D hereto. Pursuant to the Warrant and Order contained in
Exhibit D, the FBI subsequently obtained historical cell site and GPS location data for the Target
Cellphone. The collection of prospective location data pursuant to that Warrant and Order began
on or about June 30, 2020 and remains ongoing.
11. On the afternoon of June 30, 2020, and in the process of re-reviewing certain relevant
phone data in connection with another potential application, I realized that my June 29, 2020 Agent
Affidavit contained two inadvertent errors. First, the Agent Affidavit incorrectly stated that the
Target Cellphone had been in contact with a phone identified as the Isabel Maxwell Phone within
the last 30 days. In fact, the Target Cellphone was most recently in contact with the Isabel Maxwell
Phone in or about May 2020, or within the last 60 days, not the last 30 days. Second, the Agent
Affidavit incorrectly stated that the Target Cellphone had been in contact with a phone identified
as the Scott Borgerson Phone within the last 30 days. In fact, the Target Cellphone was most
recently in contact with the Scott Borgerson Phone in or about March 2020. The errors resulted
from my misreading of certain phone records for the Target Cellphone. In particular, while one
1 The original application also sought authorization for Cellphone Location and Pen Register
information for a second Target Cellphone,
, which was identified as Target
Cellphone-1 in that application and which was also granted on or about June 29, 2020. Because
there were no errors in my affidavit with respect to Target Cellphone-1, this Amended Affidavit
does not seek a Second Warrant and Order with respect to that phone.
5
2019.07.24
EFTA00096023
column in those records indicated that the Isabel Maxwell Phone and Scott Borgerson Phone had
themselves been active within the last 30 days, I mistook those dates to be the dates of those
phones' most recent contact with the Target Cellphone. I submit this Amended Agent Affidavit
now to inform the Court of the error, to set forth a corrected statement of the facts supporting
probable cause, and to seek a Second Warrant and Order authorizing the FBI to continue receiving
prospective location data for the Target Cellphone.
12. As detailed in my original affidavit, and based on my review of AT&T records, I have
learned that the Target Cellphone is subscribed in the name of "G Max," which appears to be a
shortened version of GHISLAINE MAXWELL's name. I further know from my review of AT&T
records the following:
a. The Target Cellphone has been active within the last 30 days.
b. The Target Cellphone has been in contact with a phone subscribed to the
business "Haddon, Morgan, & Foreman," which I know from my review of court records is the
name of a law firm that currently represents GHISLAINE MAXWELL in civil litigation (the
"Haddon, Morgan, & Foreman Phone"). The most recent contact between The Target Cellphone
and the Haddon, Morgan, & Foreman Phone occurred within the last 30 days.
c. The Target Cellular Device has also been in contact with a phone subscribed to
in the name of "Laura Menninger," which I know from my review of court records is the name of
an attorney who currently represents GHISLAINE MAXWELL in civil litigation (the "Laura
Menninger Phone"). The most recent contact between The Target Cellular Device and the Laura
Menninger Phone occurred within the last 30 days.
d. The Target Cellular Device has also been in contact with a phone subscribed to
in the name of "Isabel Maxwell," which I know from my review of a law enforcement database is
6
2019.07.24
EFTA00096024
the name of GHISLAINE MAXWELL's sister (the "Isabel Maxwell Phone"). The most recent
contact between The Target Cellular Device and the Isabel Maxwell Phone occurred in or about
May 2020.
e. The Target Cellular Device has also been in contact with a phone subscribed to
in the name of "Scott Borgerson," which I know from my review of bank records and Amazon
records is the name of an individual with whom GHISLAINE MAXWELL shares a joint bank
account and to whom MAXWELL's Amazon account has sent multiple packages within
approximately the last year (the "Scott Borgerson Phone"). The most recent contact between The
Target Cellular Device and the Scott Borgerson Phone occurred in or about March 2020.
13. Accordingly, I respectfully submit that there is probable cause to believe that the
location of the Target Cellphone will reveal the location of GHISLAINE MAXWELL.
III. Request for Second Warrant and Order
14. Based on the foregoing, I respectfully request that the Court require the Service
Provider to provide the Requested Information as specified further in the Second Warrant and
Order proposed herewith, including prospective precision location and cell site data for a period
of 45 days from the date of this Order, historical cell site data and toll records for the period from
June I, 2020 through the date of this Order, and pen register information for a period of 45 days
from the date of this Order.
1.
Nondisclosure. The scope of this ongoing criminal investigation and existence of
the Indictment and Arrest Warrant are not publicly known. As a result, premature public disclosure
of this affidavit or the requested Second Warrant and Order could alert GHISLAINE MAXWELL
that she is under investigation and subject to arrest, causing her to destroy evidence, flee from
prosecution, or otherwise seriously jeopardize the investigation. Specifically:
7
2019.07.24
EFTA00096025
a. As evidenced by the charges alleged in the Indictment, MAXWELL is known to
have participated in acts of sexual abuse of minors. Alerting her to the existence and scope of the
investigation may lead her to intimidate witnesses. See 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)(1),(4).
b. Additionally, the Target Subject is at liberty in the community. Premature
disclosure of the existence of this application and the charges contained in the Indictment could
result in the Target Subject fleeing from prosecution if she were made aware of the pending charges
before arrest. See 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)(2).
15. Accordingly, there is reason to believe that, were the Service Provider to notify the
subscriber or others of the existence of the warrant, the investigation would be seriously
jeopardized. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b), I therefore respectfully request that the Service
Provider be directed not to notify the Subscriber or others of the existence of the Second Warrant
and Order for a period of one year, and that the Second Warrant and Order and all supporting
papers be maintained under seal until the Court orders otherwise, as specified in the Amended
Application submitted in conjunction with this Amended Affidavit.

Provider shall provide to the Investigating Agency, for a period of 45 days from the date of this
order, all dialing, routing, addressing, or signaling information associated with each voice, text, or
data communication transmitted to or from the Target Cellphone, including but not limited to:

including PCTDD, to the Investigative Agency, the Investigative Agency will only decode and
forward to the agents assigned to the investigation, the numbers that are dialed before the call is
cut through.
