Introduction A. Affiant 1. I have been a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBP") since 2017. During that time, I have participated in numerous investigations and prosecutions of crimes against children, including the sexual abuse of minors. I have also participated in the execution of multiple search warrants. 2. I make this Affidavit in support of an application pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure for a warrant to search the premises specified below (the "Subject Premises") for the purpose of locating GHISLAINE MAXWELL, who is a person to be arrested pursuant to an arrest warrant issued by a United States Magistrate Judge sitting in the Southern District of New York. This affidavit is based upon my personal knowledge; my review of documents and other evidence; and my conversations with other law enforcement personnel. Because this affidavit is being submitted for the limited purpose of establishing probable cause, it does not include all the facts that I have learned during the course of my 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. 1 2017.08.02 EFTA00099531 B. The Subject Premises 3. The Subject Premises are particularly described as a 156-acre property located at 338 East Washington Road, Bradford, New Hampshire 03221 and containing three separate structures: a main residence, a guesthouse, and a garage. As detailed further herein, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, a Target Subject of this investigation, is believed to be currently present within the Subject Premises. An aerial photograph depicting all three of the structures of the Subject Premises is included below: Two photographs of the front of the main residence of the Subject Premises from two different angles are included below: 2 2017.08.02 EFTA00099532 A photograph of the guesthouse of the Subject Premises is included below: 3 2017.08.02 EFTA00099533 C. The Target Subject and the Subject Offenses 4. The Target Subject of this investigation is GHISLAINE MAXWELL. 5. On June 29, 2020, a grand jury in the Southern District of New York returned an indictment charging GHISLAINE MAXWELL with violations of 18 U.S.C. § 371 (conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts); 18 U.S.C. § 2422 (enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts); 18 U.S.C. § 371 (conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity); 18 U.S.C. § 2423(a) (transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity); and 18 U.S.C. § 1623 (perjury) (collectively, the "Subject Offenses"). The Indictment charging MAXWELL is attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Indictment"). 6. Also on June 29, 2020, United States Magistrate Judge Lisa Margaret Smith signed a warrant for GHISLAINE MAXWELL's arrest, which is attached as Exhibit B hereto (the "Arrest 4 2017.08.02 EFTA00099534 Warrant"). Accordingly, I respectfully submit that there is probable cause to believe that MAXWELL is a "person to be arrested" within the meaning of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 4' (c)(4). 7. For the reasons detailed below, I respectfully submit that there is probable cause to believe that GHISLAINE MAXWELL will be found within the Subject Premises. II. Probable Cause A. Probable Cause Regarding the Target Subject's Commission of the Subject Offenses 8. As set forth in paragraph 5 above, a grand jury sitting in the Southern District of New York has returned an indictment charging the Target Subject with the Subject Offenses. B. Probable Cause Justifying Search of the Subject Premises 9. As detailed herein, and notwithstanding the efforts of GHISLAINE MAXWELL described below to evade detection since the arrest in July 2019 of her co-conspirator, Jeffrey Epstein, I and other agents have been able to identify a cellphone used by MAXWELL that, as specified below, is presently located in or around the Subject Premises. In particular, as detailed herein, a cell-site simulator placed the cellphone used by MAXWELL at the Subject Premises at approximately 7:36 AM on July 2, 2020, and cell site data similarly confirms that the cellphone used by MAXWELL has been in the vicinity of the Subject Premises on a regular basis for at least the last 30 days. 10. Based on my participation in the investigation, I know that since the arrest of GHISLAINE MAXWELL's co-conspirator, Jeffrey Epstein, in July 2019, MAXWELL has intentionally sought to evade detection. For example, since that time, MAXWELL has avoided public appearances, has moved at least twice, has stopped using a cellphone associated with her at the time of Epstein's arrest and started using a new cellphone registered simply in the name "G 5 2017.08.02 EFTA00099535 Max," (described herein as the "Target Cellphone"), has ordered packages from her Amazon account to be delivered to her under the name of another person, and has intentionally stayed out of public view. I further know that, since approximately July 2019, MAXWELL has been aware that she is the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation into her relationship with Epstein and her role in facilitating his abuse of minor girls. 11. Based on my review of Customs and Border Patrol records, I know that GHISLAINE MAXWELL is a United States citizen and that she most recently entered the United States in or about June of 2019. There is no record of MAXWELL leaving the United States since her arrival in June of 2019. 12. Based on my review of records, and as noted above, I have learned that the cellphone with phone number (the "Target Cellphone") is subscribed in the name of "M," which appears to be a shortened version of GHISLAINE MAXWELL's name. The Target Cellphone is presently active. 13. On or about June 30, 2020, United States Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker, signed a warrant for cellphone location information for the Target Cellphone (the "Cell Site Warrant"), which is attached as Exhibit C, after finding probable cause to believe that GHISLAINE MAXWELL is presently using the Target Cellphone. Pursuant to the Cell Site Warrant, the FBI has received GPS location data for the Target Cellphone since approximately 10:15 PM on June 30, 2020 and has also received historical cell site data for the Target Cellphone for the period June I, 2020 to June 30, 2020. As detailed further below, data obtained pursuant to the Cell Site Warrant confirms that MAXWELL is presently in the general location of the Subject Premises and has remained in that area consistently for at least the past 30 days. 6 2017.08.02 EFTA00099536 14. On July I, 2020, United States Magistrate Judge Andrea K. Johnstone signed a warrant for the use of a cell-site simulator for the Target Cellphone (the "Cell-Site Simulator Warrant"), which is attached as Exhibit D, after also finding probable cause to believe that MAXWELL is presently using the Target Cellphone. A copy of the application in support of that Cell-Site Simulator Warrant, which sets forth in greater detail the probable cause to believe MAXWELL is using the Target Cellphone, is attached as Exhibit E. 15. Pursuant to the Cell-Site Simulator Warrant, the Target Cellphone was found to be at the Subject Premises on July 2, 2020 at approximately 7:36 AM. 16. I know from my review of records and my conversations with other law enforcement agents that the GPS location and cell site data collected pursuant to the Cell Site Warrant revealed the following: a. GPS location data, also known as 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 helpful but typically less precise than precision location information. b. Through the Cell Site Warrant, law enforcement was able to obtain cell site data for the Target Cellphone. While less precise than a cell-site simulator, consistent with the current location obtained pursuant to the Cell-Site Simulator Warrant as detailed in paragraph 15, 7 2017.08.02 EFTA00099537 above, I am aware that the cell site data for the Target Cellphone reveals that it has been located in and around Bradford, New Hampshire for at least the past 30 days. More specifically, I am aware that during that same period, the Target Cellphone has regularly connected with a cell tower that covers an area that includes the Subject Premises (the "Subject Premises Cell Tower".) c. Cell site data further indicates that The Target Cellphone has been within the vicinity of the Subject Premises Cell Tower as recently as within the last approximately 24 hours. 17. In addition to the cell-site simulator data, which has confirmed that the Target Cellphone was at the Subject Premises on the morning of July 2, 2020, and the Cell Site Data confirming that the Target Cellphone has been in the vicinity of the Subject Premises for at least the past 30 days, I know based on my review of property records and my conversations with other law enforcement agents the following: a. Although there are multiple residences, including the Subject Premises, within the vicinity of the Subject Premises Cell Tower, with the exception of the Subject Premises, all of the other residences in that area are owned in the names of individuals or in the names of identified family trusts. By contrast, the Subject Premises is the only property within the vicinity of the Subject Premises Cell Tower that is owned by an entity. In particular, the Subject Premises is owned by an entity called Granite Realty LLC, a name seemingly designed to obscure the true identity of its owner. b. On or about December 13, 2019, Granite Realty LLC purchased the Subject Premises for $1,070,000 in an all cash sale. 18. Based on the above, I respectfully submit that there is probable cause to believe that GHISLAINE MAXWELL is currently located within the Subject Premises. In particular, 8 2017.08.02 EFTA00099538 the fact that the cell-site simulator confirmed the Target Cellphone was located in the Subject Premises at approximately 7:36 AM this morning and that cell site data confirmed that the Target Cellphone has been located in the vicinity of the Subject Premises on a regular basis for the past 30 days, makes it likely that MAXWELL is currently in the Subject Premises with her phone. Moreover, although there are multiple residences located within the range of the Subject Premises Cell Tower, the Subject Premises is the only residence located within that area that is owned in the name of an anonymous entity, which is consistent with MAXWELL's extensive efforts, described above, to remain anonymous after the arrest of her co-conspirator, Jeffrey Epstein. III. Conclusion and Ancillary Provisions 19. Based on the foregoing, I respectfully submit that there is probable cause to believe that GHISLAINE MAXWELL is a person to be arrested for the Subject Offenses and that she is currently located at the Subject Premises. I therefore respectfully request the court to issue a warrant to search for the individual specified in Attachment A to this affidavit and to the Search and Seizure Warrant. Respectfully submitted, Is Special Agent Federal Bureau of Investigation The affiant appeared before me by telephonic conference on this date pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 4.1 and affirmed under oath the content of this affidavit and application. Honorable Andrea K.

X SEALED INDICTMENT 20 Cr. 20 Cr. 330 COUNT ONE (Conspiracy to Entice Minors to Travel to Engage in Illegal Sex Acts) The Grand Jury charges: OVERVIEW 1. The charges set forth herein stem from the role of GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, in the sexual exploitation and abuse of multiple minor girls by Jeffrey Epstein. In particular, from at least in or about 1994, up to and including at least in or about 1997, MAXWELL assisted, facilitated, and contributed to Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of minor girls by, among other things, helping Epstein to recruit, groom, and ultimately abuse victims known to MAXWELL and Epstein to be under the age of 18. The victims were as young as 14 years old when they were groomed and abused by MAXWELL and Epstein, both of whom knew that certain victims were in fact under the age of 18. 2. As a part and in furtherance of their scheme to abuse minor victims, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, and Jeffrey Epstein enticed and caused minor victims to travel to EFTA00099544 Epstein's residences in different states, which MAXWELL knew and intended would result in their grooming for and subjection to sexual abuse. Moreover, in an effort to conceal her crimes, MAXWELL repeatedly lied when questioned about her conduct, including in relation to some of the minor victims described herein, when providing testimony under oath in 2016. FACTUAL BACKGROUND 3. During the time periods charged in this Indictment, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, had a personal and professional relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and was among his closest associates. In particular, between in or about 1994 and in or about 1997, MAXWELL was in an intimate relationship with Epstein and also was paid by Epstein to manage his various properties. Over the course of their relationship, MAXWELL and Epstein were photographed together on multiple occasions, including in the below image: 2 EFTA00099545 4. Beginning in at least 1994, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, enticed and groomed multiple minor girls to engage in sex acts with Jeffrey Epstein, through a variety of means and methods, including but not limited to the following: a. MAXWELL first attempted to befriend some of Epstein's minor victims prior to their abuse, including by asking the victims about their lives, their schools, and their families. MAXWELL and Epstein would spend time building friendships with minor victims by, for example, taking minor victims to the movies or shopping. Some of these outings would involve MAXWELL and Epstein spending time together with a minor victim, while some would involve MAXWELL or Epstein spending time alone with a minor victim. b. Having developed a rapport with a victim, MAXWELL would try to normalize sexual abuse for a minor victim by, among other things, discussing sexual topics, undressing in front of the victim, being present when a minor victim was undressed, and/or being present for sex acts involving the minor victim and Epstein. c. MAXWELL'S presence during minor victims' interactions with Epstein, including interactions where the minor victim was undressed or that involved sex acts with Epstein, helped put the victims at ease because an adult woman was present. For example, in some instances, MAXWELL would 3 EFTA00099546 massage Epstein in front of a minor victim. In other instances, MAXWELL encouraged minor victims to provide massages to Epstein, including sexualized massages during which a minor victim would be fully or partially nude. Many of those massages resulted in Epstein sexually abusing the minor victims. d. In addition, Epstein offered to help some minor victims by paying for travel and/or educational opportunities, and MAXWELL encouraged certain victims to accept Epstein's assistance. As a result, victims were made to feel indebted and believed that MAXWELL and Epstein were trying to help them. e. Through this process, MAXWELL and Epstein enticed victims to engage in sexual activity with Epstein. In some instances, MAXWELL was present for and participated in the sexual abuse of minor victims. Some such incidents occurred in the context of massages, which developed into sexual encounters. 5. GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, facilitated Jeffrey Epstein's access to minor victims knowing that he had a sexual preference for underage girls and that he intended to engage in sexual activity with those victims. Epstein's resulting abuse of minor victims included, among other things, touching a victim's breast, touching a victim's genitals, placing a sex toy such as a vibrator on a victim's genitals, 4 EFTA00099547 directing a victim to touch Epstein while he masturbated, and directing a victim to touch Epstein's genitals. MAXWELL AND EPSTEIN'S VICTIMS 6. Between approximately in or about 1994 and in or about 1997, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, facilitated Jeffrey Epstein's access to minor victims by, among other things, inducing and enticing, and aiding and abetting the inducement and enticement of, multiple minor victims. Victims were groomed and/or abused at multiple locations, including the following: a. A a multi-story private residence on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York owned by Epstein (the "New York Residence"), which is depicted in the following photograph: EFTA00099548 b. An estate in Palm Beach, Florida owned by Epstein (the "Palm Beach Residence"), which is depicted in the following photograph: c. A ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico owned by Epstein (the "New Mexico Residence"), which is depicted in the following photograph: EFTA00099549 d. MAXWELL's personal residence in London, England. 7. Among the victims induced or enticed by GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, were minor victims identified herein as Minor Victim-1, Minor Victim-2, and Minor Victim-3. In particular, and during time periods relevant to this Indictment, MAXWELL engaged in the following acts, among others, with respect to minor victims: a. MAXWELL met Minor Victim-1 when Minor Victim-1 was approximately 14 years old. MAXWELL subsequently interacted with Minor Victim-1 on multiple occasions at Epstein's residences, knowing that Minor Victim-1 was under the age of 18 at the time. During these interactions, which took place between approximately 1994 and 1997, MAXWELL groomed Minor Victim-1 to engage in sexual acts with Epstein through multiple means. First, MAXWELL and Epstein attempted to befriend Minor Victim-1, taking her to the movies and on shopping trips. MAXWELL also asked Minor Victim-1 about school, her classes, her family, and other aspects of her life. MAXWELL then sought to normalize inappropriate and abusive conduct by, among other things, undressing in front of Minor Victim-1 and being present when Minor Victim-1 undressed ih front of Epstein. Within the first year after MAXWELL and Epstein met Minor Victim-1, Epstein began sexually abusing Minor Victim-1. MAXWELL was present for 7 EFTA00099550 and involved in some of this abuse. In particular, MAXWELL involved Minor Victim-1 in group sexualized massages of Epstein. During those group sexualized massages, MAXWELL and/or Minor Victim-1 would engage in sex acts with Epstein. Epstein and MAXWELL both encouraged Minor Victim-1 to travel to Epstein's residences in both New York and Florida. As a result, Minor Victim-1 was sexually abused by Epstein in both New York and Florida. Minor Victim-1 was enticed to travel across state lines for the purpose of sexual encounters with Epstein, and MAXWELL was aware that Epstein engaged in sexual activity with Minor Victim-1 after Minor-Victim-1 traveled to Epstein's properties, including in the context of a sexualized massage. b. MAXWELL interacted with Minor Victim-2 on at least one occasion in or about 1996 at Epstein's residence in New Mexico when Minor Victim-2 was under the age of 18. Minor Victim-2 had flown into New Mexico from out of state at Epstein's invitation for the purpose of being groomed for and/or subjected to acts of sexual abuse. MAXWELL knew that Minor Victim-2 was under the age of 18 at the time. While in New Mexico, MAXWELL and Epstein took Minor Victim-2 to a movie and MAXWELL took Minor Victim-2 shopping. MAXWELL also discussed Minor Victim-2's school, classes, and family with Minor Victim- 2. In New Mexico, MAXWELL began her efforts to groom Minor Victim-2 for abuse by Epstein by, among other things, providing 8 EFTA00099551 an unsolicited massage to Minor Victim-2, during which Minor Victim-2 was topless. MAXWELL also encouraged Minor Victim-2 to massage Epstein. c. MAXWELL groomed and befriended Minor Victim-3 in London, England between approximately 1994 and 1995, including during a period of time in which MAXWELL knew that Minor Victim-3 was under the age of 18. Among other things, MAXWELL discussed Minor Victim-3's life and family with Minor Victim-3. MAXWELL introduced Minor Victim-3 to Epstein and arranged for multiple interactions between Minor Victim-3 and Epstein. During those interactions, MAXWELL encouraged Minor Victim-3 to massage Epstein, knowing that Epstein would engage in sex acts with Minor Victim-3 during those massages. Minor Victim-3 provided Epstein with the requested massages, and during those massages, Epstein sexually abused Minor Victim-3. MAXWELL was aware that Epstein engaged in sexual activity with Minor Victim-3 on multiple occasions, including at times when Minor Victim-3 was under the age of 18, including in the context of a sexualized massage. MAXWELL'S EFFORTS TO CONCEAL HER CONDUCT 8. In or around 2016, in the context of a deposition as part of civil litigation, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, repeatedly provided false and perjurious statements, under oath, regarding, among other subjects, her role in facilitating the 9 EFTA00099552 abuse of minor victims by Jeffrey Epstein, including some of the specific events and acts of abuse detailed above. STATUTORY ALLEGATIONS 9.

Findings The Court hereby finds: I. Upon an affidavit of Special Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("Affidavit") and pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41, there is probable cause to believe that violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 2422, 2423(a), and 1623 ("Subject Offenses") have been committed, are being committed, and will be committed by GHISLAINE MAXWELL ("Target Subject"), and that the Target Subject uses a cellular device assigned call number the ("Target Cellular Device"), which is described in Attachment A. Further, there is probable cause to believe that GHISLAINE MAXWELL has violated 18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 2422, 2423(a), and 1623. MAXWELL was charged with these crimes on June 29, 2020 and is the subject of an arrest warrant issued on June 29, 2020. There is also probable cause to believe that the Target Cellular Device's location will assist law enforcement in arresting MAXWELL, who is a "person to be arrested" within the meaning of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(c)(4). 2. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3123(b)(1), the Government has certified that the pen register information for the Target Cellular Device is relevant to an ongoing investigation by the EFTA00099571 Investigating Agency of the Target Subjects and others unknown in connection with suspected violations of the Subject Offenses. NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 41, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3121 et seq., and 18 U.S.C. § 3103a, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: II. Warrant and Order of Authorization 3. Warrant. Law enforcement agents and other authorized law enforcement officials are hereby authorized to employ an electronic investigative technique, which is described in Attachment B, to the determine the location of the Target Cellular Device, which is described in Attachment A. 4. Data Collection and Retention. In the course of employing the technique, law enforcement agents and other authorized law enforcement officials (a) must make reasonable efforts to limit interference with cellular devices other than the Target Cellular Device, (b) must promptly delete information collected from cellular devices other than the Target Cellular Device once the Target Cellular Device is located, and (c) are prohibited from using data acquired beyond that necessary to locate the Target Cellular Device, absent further order of the Court. 5. Delayed Notice. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3103a(b) and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(0(3), the Court authorizes the officer executing the warrant to delay in notice until 30 days from the end of the period of authorized surveillance. This delay is justified because there is reasonable cause to believe that providing immediate notification of the warrant may have an adverse result, as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2705. Providing immediate notice to the subscriber or user of the Target Cellular Device would seriously jeopardize the ongoing investigation, as such a disclosure would give that person an opportunity to destroy evidence, change patterns of behavior, EFTA00099572 and flee from prosecution. See 18 U.S.C. § 3103a(b)(1). There is reasonable necessity for the use of the technique described above, for the reasons set forth above. See 18 U.S.C. § 3103a(b)(2). 6. Time of Execution. The Court authorizes execution of this Warrant at any time of day or night, owing to the potential need to locate the Target Cellular Device outside of daytime hours. 7. Sealing. This Warrant and Order, and the supporting Agent Affidavit, shall be sealed until further order of the Court, except that the Government may without further order of this Court: provide copies of the Warrant and Order or the supporting Application and 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. Honorable Andrea K.

This warrant does not authorize the interception of any telephone calls, text messages, other electronic communications, and this warrant prohibits the seizure of any tangible property. The Court finds reasonable necessity for the use of the technique authorized above. See 18 U.S.C. § 3103a(b)(2). EFTA00099575 EXHIBIT E EFTA00099576 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE IN THE MATTER OF THE USE OF A CELL- SITE SIMULATOR TO LOCATE THE CELLULAR DEVICE ASSIGNED CALL NUMBER Case No. 1:20- Filed Under Seal — Level II AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF AN APPLICATION FOR A SEARCH WARRANT , being first duly sworn, hereby depose and state as follows: INTRODUCTION AND AGENT BACKGROUND 1. I make this affidavit in support of an application for a search warrant under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41 to authorize law enforcement to employ an electronic investigative technique, which is described in Attachment B, to determine the location of the cellular device assigned call number (the "Target Cellular Device"), which is described in Attachment A. 2. I am a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"), and have been since 2017. 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 and cellular devices. 3. The facts in this affidavit come from my personal observations, my training and experience, and information obtained from other agents and witnesses. This affidavit is intended EFTA00099577 to show merely that there is sufficient probable cause for the requested warrant and does not set forth all of my knowledge about this matter. 4. One purpose of applying for this warrant is to determine with precision the Target Cellular Device's location. However, there is reason to believe the Target Cellular Device is currently located somewhere within this district. On or about June 30, 2020, United States Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker, signed a warrant for cellphone location information for the Target Cellular Device (the "GPS Warrant"), which is attached as Exhibit A. Pursuant to the GPS Warrant, the FBI has received GPS location data since approximately 10:15 p.m. on June 30, 2020 and has also historical cell site data for the Target Cellular Device for the period June 1, 2020 to the present. That data shows that the Target Cellular Device is currently located in the District of New Hampshire and has been located in the District of New Hampshire for the last 30 days. The location data has allowed the FBI to identify approximately one square mile in which the Target Cellular Device is located, but the location data is insufficiently specific to allow the FBI to identify the particular building in which the Target Cellular Device is currently located. Pursuant to Rule 41(b)(2), law enforcement may locate the Target Cellular Device outside the district provided the device is within the district when the warrant is issued. 5. Based on the facts set forth herein, there is probable cause to believe that GHISLAINE MAXWELL has violated 18 U.S.C. § 371 (conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts); 18 U.S.C. § 2422 (enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts); 18 U.S.C. § 371 (conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity); 18 U.S.C. § 2423(a) (transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity); and 18 U.S.C. § 1623 (perjury). Specifically, on June 29, 2020, a grand jury sitting in the Southern District of New York returned an indictment charging MAXWELL with these crimes, 2 EFTA00099578 which is attached as Exhibit B. That same day, United States Magistrate Judge Lisa Margaret Smith signed an arrest warrant for MAXWELL, which is attached as Exhibit C. 6. There is also probable cause to believe that the Target Cellular Device's location will assist law enforcement in arresting MAXWELL, who is a "person to be arrested" within the meaning of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(c)(4). In particular, and as detailed below, there is probable cause to believe that MAXWELL is the primary user of the Target Cellular Device which remains active. The FBI does not know MAXWELL's current location and accordingly requires the information sought in this application in order to locate and arrest MAXWELL. 7. Because collecting the information authorized by this warrant may fall within the statutory definitions of a "pen register" or a "trap and trace device," see 18 U.S.C. § 3127(3) & (4), this warrant is designed to comply with the Pen Register Statute as well as Rule 41. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 3121-3127. This warrant therefore includes all the information required to be included in a pen register order. See 18 U.S.C. § 3123(b)(1). Consistent with the requirement for a pen register order, I certify that the information likely to be obtained is relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation by FBI. See 18 U.S.0 §§ 3122(b), 3123(b). 8. Consistent with the requirement for a pen register order, I certify that the information likely to be obtained is relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation by FBI. See 18 U.S.0 §§ 3122(b), 3123(b)." PROBABLE CAUSE 9. Based on the following, I respectfully submit there is probable cause to believe that the Target Cellular Device's location will assist law enforcement in locating and arresting MAXWELL pursuant to the arrest warrant described in paragraph 5, above. 3 EFTA00099579 10. As set forth in Exhibit A, United States Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker found on June 30, 2020 that there is probable cause to believe that the location of the Target Cellular Device will reveal the location of GHISLAINE MAXWELL. As set forth in paragraph 4 above, that same day, the FBI received location information from revealing that the Target Cellular Device is currently located in the District of New Hampshire and has been located in the District of New Hampshire for at least the last 30 days. II. Based on my review of Customs and Border Patrol records, I know that GHISLAINE MAXWELL is a United States citizen and that she most recently entered the United States in or about June of 2019. There is no record of MAXWELL leaving the United States since her arrival in June of 2019. 12. Based on my review of court filings, I am aware that GHISLAINE MAXWELL is represented by counsel in multiple ongoing civil lawsuits in the United States. As recently as in or about June 2020, attorney Laura Menninger appeared in in the Southern District of New York for oral argument before United States District Judge Loretta A. Preska on MAXWELL's behalf. 13. Based on my review of records, I have learned that the Target Cellular Device is subscribed in the name of a," which appears to be a shortened version of GHISLAINE MAXWELL's name. 14. I further know from my review of records the following: a. The Target Cellular Device has been in contact with a phone subscribed to in the name of'," 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. 4 EFTA00099580 b. The Target Cellular Device has also 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 Cellular Device 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 which I know from my review of a law enforcement database is the name of GHISLAINE MAXWELL's sister (the contact between The Target Cellular Device and the May 2020. Phone"). The most recent Phone occurred in or about d. The Target Cellular Device has also been in contact with a phone subscribed to in the name of ' " 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 Phone"). The most recent contact between The Target Cellular Device and the Phone occurred in or about March 2020. 15. Accordingly, I respectfully submit that there is probable cause to believe that the location of the Target Cellular Device will reveal the location of GHISLAINE MAXWELL. MANNER OF EXECUTION 16. In my training and experience, I have learned that cellular phones and other cellular devices communicate wirelessly across a network of cellular infrastructure, including towers that route and connect individual communications. When sending or receiving a communication, a 5 EFTA00099581 cellular device broadcasts certain signals to the cellular tower that is routing its communication. These signals include a cellular device's unique identifiers. 17. To facilitate execution of this warrant to determine the location of the Target Cellular Device, law enforcement may use an investigative device or devices capable of broadcasting signals that will be received by the Target Cellular Device or receiving signals from nearby cellular devices, including the Target Cellular Device. Such a device may function in some respects like a cellular tower, except that it will not be connected to the cellular network and cannot be used by a cell phone to communicate with others. The device may send a signal to the Target Cellular Device and nearby cellular devices and thereby prompt them to send signals that include the unique identifier of the device. Law enforcement may monitor the signals broadcast by the Target Cellular Device for non-content signal information and use that information to determine the Target Cellular Device's location, even if it is located inside a house, apartment, or other building. The device will not intercept the contents of the Target Cellular Device's communications, such as telephone calls, text messages, and other electronic communications. Further, the device will not collect any other data stored on the Target Cellular Device, including e-mails, text messages, contact lists, images, or Global Positioning System (GPS) data. 18. The investigative device may interrupt cellular service of phones or other cellular devices within its immediate vicinity. Any service disruption to non-target devices will be brief and temporary, and all operations will attempt to limit the interference with such devices. In order to connect with the Target Cellular Device, the device may briefly exchange signals with all phones or other cellular devices in its vicinity to determine whether those devices' unique identifiers match the identifiers of the Target Cellular Device. These signals may include cell phone identifiers. The device will not complete a connection with cellular devices determined not to be the Target 6 EFTA00099582 Cellular Device, and law enforcement will limit collection of information from devices other than the Target Cellular Device. To the extent that any information from a cellular device other than the Target Cellular Device is collected by the law enforcement device, law enforcement will delete that information, and law enforcement will make no investigative use of it absent further order of the court, other than distinguishing the Target Cellular Device from all other cellular devices. AUTHORIZATION REQUEST 19. Based on the foregoing, I request that the Court issue the proposed search warrant, pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41. The proposed warrant also will function as a pen register order under 18 U.S.C. § 3123. 20. I further request, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3103a(b) and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(0(3), that the Court authorize the officer executing the warrant to delay notice until 30 days from the end of the period of authorized surveillance. This delay is justified because there is reasonable cause to believe that providing immediate notification of the warrant may have an adverse result, as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2705. Providing immediate notice to the subscriber or user of the Target Cellular Device would seriously jeopardize the ongoing investigation, as such a disclosure would give that person an opportunity to destroy evidence, change patterns of behavior, and flee from prosecution. See 18 U.S.C. § 3103a(b)(1). There is reasonable necessity for the use of the technique described above, for the reasons set forth above. See 18 U.S.C. § 3103a(b)(2). 21. I further request that the Court authorize execution of the warrant at any time of day or night, owing to the potential need to locate the Target Cellular Device outside of daytime hours. 7 EFTA00099583 22. I further request that the Court order that all papers in support of this application, including the affidavit and search warrant, be sealed until further order of the Court. These documents discuss an ongoing criminal investigation that is neither public nor known to all of the targets of the investigation. Accordingly, there is good cause to seal these documents because their premature disclosure may seriously jeopardize that investigation. 23. A search warrant may not be legally necessary to compel the investigative technique described herein. Nevertheless, I hereby submit this warrant application out of an abundance of caution.

Under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 49.1(d) and Local Rule 83.12(a)(1), the Court has authority to grant this motion. The Court should seal these documents because they contain sensitive information, which, if prematurely released, may compromise an ongoing criminal investigation. Specifically, the application contains information identifying the target of the investigation. Investigators believe that this target may be unaware of the incriminating evidence investigators have gathered against her. Should information identifying that target and the evidence against her be released, it may cause her to flee, destroy evidence, or change her patterns of behavior.
