Dear Director Wray, Inspector General Horowitz, and Attorney General
Garland:
As counsel to many survivors of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking conspiracy,
we write regarding the failure of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to
properly, adequately, or timely investigate the sex trafficking of hundreds of
girls and young women. The FBI utterly failed to investigate serious
allegations involving Epstein's, and perhaps others, child sex abuse materials
(CSAM), significant additional criminality which, until recently, has been
disregarded, disrespected, and essentially denied.
As detailed below, in August of 1996 one of our clients,
S
reported
to the FBI that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell had sexually abused her and
that the two of them, together with others, were committing multiple, serious,
sexual abuse crimes, including hands-on sexual abuse, against minors and
1
EFTA00144344
vulnerable young women. In addition, she reported to the FBI that Epstein,
and perhaps others, appeared to be engaged in the production, possession,
and distribution of sexually suggestive or exploitative images of children that
could constitute CSAM. See Exhibits (Exs.) 1, 2, and 3.
In 2005, child erotica was found in Epstein's Palm Beach home. In
approximately 2008, law enforcement "prematurely" truncated their
investigation of Epstein's computer hard drives which had been suspiciously
removed from his Palm Beach estate immediately before a police raid. See
infra p. 7. In 2019, more child erotica was found displayed in Epstein's
properties, with additional images located in his home safe. See infra p. 9.
Recently, for the first time. Epstein's possible connection to CSAM has been
acknowledged - in ongoing federal litigation in New York, the Epstein Estate
alerted the parties and the court about the possible existence of CSAM among
images the Estate just discovered. Exs. 4 and 5. Last week, it was revealed that
Epstein maintained government contacts at the highest level, including
William Burns, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, who had three
meetings scheduled with Epstein in 2014. Jeffrey Epstein's Private Calendar:
CIA Director William Burns. Goldman Sachs's Top Lawyer. Noam Chomsky -
WSl.
As detailed below, in response to Ms.
clear-eyed, prescient report,
and despite subsequent repeated red flags that Epstein trafficked girls and
collected sexualized images of children, the FBI appears, for years, to have
done little to investigate and prosecute Epstein's sex trafficking, and, to date,
done nothing regarding reports of possible CSAM.
In order to ensure the fair and equitable dispensation of justice and
accountability, we call on the FBI, the Department of Justice, and the Attorney
General to conduct a comprehensive investigation to determine why there was
and remains such abject failure to timely investigate, expose, and prosecute
this unprecedented, decades-long criminal conspiracy which included not only
the sexual trafficking of young women and girls, but also the possession and
likely production, distribution, transportation and distribution of possible
CSAM as well.

EFTA00144345
Law Enforcement Ignored Ms.
1996 Report to the FBI of
Epstein's Possible CSAM Crimes and Sex Trafficking Conspiracy -
Why?
In 1995, Ms.
a struggling artist and recent graduate from
took a job working for billionaire Epstein. After purchasing
one of her paintings for several thousand dollars, Epstein told Ms.
that
he wanted her to be an "art scour for his collection. This position expanded to
clerical work in Epstein's mansion. Over the course of several months in 1996,
Ms.
witnessed young girls going in and out of Epstein's New York
mansion, modeling agency representatives present at the house, and Ghislaine
Maxwell "scouting" for new children who Epstein was purportedly also
financially "helping:' Ms.
also witnessed images of what appeared to
be children in what was described to her as a "modeling book" kept in
Epstein's safe. At first, Ms.
accepted what sounded like innocent
justifications for these activities.
During the summer of 1996, at Epstein's behest, Ms.
worked as an
artist in residence at Epstein's home in Ohio. When Epstein and Maxwell
visited Ms.
in Ohio for a few days, they sexually abused her. Shocked
and deeply shaken, she realized, when they left, that some photographs from
her private collection, which were all numbered and in her possession in Ohio,
were missing, including photographs of her partially dressed 11-year-old
sister. She then became concerned that Epstein and Maxwell had other
sexually inappropriate images, whether in Epstein's safe or elsewhere, and
that they were engaged in other unlawful activities. Ms.
leftend
when she returned to New York, confronted Epstein and Maxwell and
demanded the return of her personal photographs. Epstein and Maxwell
retaliated against her by threatening to physically harm her and set all of her
artwork on fire.
Deathly afraid, on August 29, 1996, Ms.
reported in detail Epstein's
and Maxwell's criminality to her local police department, the NYPD
The NYPD said that while they could address the local fire threats,
they were unable to do anything about other possibly illegal activities
3
EFTA00144346
occurring outside their jurisdiction, such as the abuse and theft perpetrated in
Ohio, and other illegal activities. They directed Ms.
to report these
alle ations to the FBI. See Ex. 1 (NYPD Police Report Complaint
ated 8/29/96) - " I
I states...[Epstein] did call her and
state he was going to burn victim's painting and send her polaroids of the
burnt paintings. [Epstein] has keys to victim's apartment:'). Following the
NYPD's instructions, and at that time believing that the wrongdoing would be
addressed, Ms.
immediately contacted the FBI to report her wider
criminal complaint concerning Epstein and others.
Ms.
confirmed her reporting of the Epstein conspiracy to the FBI in a
1997 entry in her personal journal:

Ms.
1996 report of the Epstein sex trafficking conspiracy and CSAM
allegations was confirmed by the FBI in field notes of a 2006 meeting between
Ms.
and the agency, which was the first time she heard from the FBI
after her original report. The FBI notes specifically stated that Ms.
had
previously reported Epstein to the NYPD Sixth Precinct who advised her to
contact the FBI.

Excerpt of hand-marked page 19 of FBI redacted notes of 11/14/06 meeting
with Ms.
regarding Epstein ("6th precinct told MF to call FBI") in Ex. 3
(FBI redacted notes in full).1 The FBI agents acknowledged their awareness of
Ms.
1996 report to the FBI about Epstein, stating that they tracked
her down because of that earlier report.
Ms.
report of Epstein's sex trafficking and apparent CSAM crimes
should have surprised no one who took the time to investigate. Indeed, it is
commonplace for sexual abusers to use CSAM to normalize sexual conduct and
groom victims. See, e.g., Understanding Grooming Tactics (rehope.org).
Terrified and alone, and cognizant that the institutions that should have
protected her failed to do so, Ms.
moved out of New York City, and
eventually out of the New York region, to escape Epstein's and Maxwell's
abuse and threats.
It Took a Decade for Federal Law Enforcement to Take Any Action
Against Epstein Gifted Epstein the Deal of a Lifetime, and Conferred
Free Reign on Epstein to Continue Sex Trafficking and Producing
Sexually Suggestive Images of Girls and Young Women - Why?
Ten years after Ms.
initial report, federal authorities appeared to take
a renewed interest in investigating Epstein which turned out to be nothing
more than a paper tiger distraction.
I Over the past several months, we have repeatedly sought unredacted co ies of the FBI's
notes which presumably reveal more, and any prior notes from Ms.
earlier report
to the FBI. To date, no substantive response has been provided.
EFTA00144348
From 2005 to 2008, dozens of survivors, including Ms.
presented
substantial evidence to the FBI of Epstein's sex trafficking and sexually
inappropriate images of children.
As noted above, on November 11, 2006, two FBI agents, without warning,
knocked on the door of Ms.
then-home in North Carolina and met
with Ms.
for hours. She again explained her deep, specific concerns
about the ongoing Epstein sex trafficking conspiracy and CSAM allegations. See
Ex. 3 (spanning over 20 pages of meeting notes).
When the Palm Beach police raided Epstein's home in 2005, they found "naked
pictures of teenage girls:' VIDEO: Inside Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach home:
What the victims saw (palmbeachpost.com). At least one 14-year-old survivor
told law enforcement that she had been photographed in the nude. See Report
of the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR
Report). https://www.washingtonpost.comicontext/read-the-report-
investigation-into-the-u-s-attorney-s-office-for-the-southern-district-of-
florida-s-resolution-of-its-2006-2008-federal-criminal-investigation-of-
jeffrey-epstein-and-its-interactions-with-victims-during-the-
investigation/db9373e8-22f8-4712-b4a7-be844d162de0/, p. iv.
As acknowledged in the OPR Report, law enforcement knew or had reason to
believe that Epstein "had surveillance cameras stationed in and around his
home" and "used hidden cameras in his New York residence to record his
sexual encounters:' OPR Report, pp. 175-79. It was known that Epstein's
"computers might have contained child pornography" and, with his "multi-
state lifestyle[,] it was reasonable to assume that [there was possible]
interstate transmission of child pornography...that could have changed the
entire complexion of the case against Epsteinf OPR Report, p. 176.
Six computer hard drives were suspiciously missing from Epstein's Florida
home just before a police raid--leaving dangling wires attached to monitors--
which Epstein's attorneys refused to turn over. FBI Used Saw to Open Jeffrey
Epstein Safe With Hard Drives Diamonds (insider:corn). Epstein's attorneys
succeeded in delaying and then preventing the delivery of Epstein's hard
6
EFTA00144349
drives while law enforcement again turned a blind eye to allegations of
possible CSAM crimes. See OPR Report, pp. iv, 45-47, 60-61, 70. As the OPR
Report explained, the U.S. Attorney "resolved the federal investigation before
significant investigative steps were taken," and the investigation ended
"prematurely" OPR Report, p. x.
Instead, Epstein and his team of high paid lawyers and private investigators
sought to shift blame onto the victims, gaslighting them as prostitutes, drug
addicts, and liars. Amazingly, despite a plethora of evidence of a far-reaching
conspiracy to traffic women, and numerous red flags concerning possible
CSAM, federal law enforcement stood by silently and didn't take action. OPR
Report, pp. 11, 15, 147; see also
https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/2020/12/03/prosecutor-
jeffrey-epsteins-victims-im-sorry-deal-labeled-you-prostitutes/3 812499001/
(AUSA told an appeals court that it was "unfortunate" that the non-
prosecution agreement had the effect of "labeling teenage girls as prostitutes
instead of victims of sexual assault"); FBI Records: The Vault — Jeffrey Epstein
Part 17 of 22 (FBI file rife with what appear to be reams of victim
"biographical information" and MySpace details). Meanwhile, consistent with
well-known practices of sex traffickers, Epstein continued trafficking, raping,
abusing, and collecting sexualized images of women and girls, including some
of our clients. See OPR Report, p. 44.
In 2008, the federal government agreed to a secret, controversial non-
prosecution agreement (NPA) with Epstein which only required him to plead
to rather minor state-law crimes and purportedly "immunized" his known and
unknown co-conspirators.
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6184602-Jeffrey-Epstein-non-
prosecution-agreement. Epstein served only 13 months in a Palm Beach
"country club" county jail with daily releases to his home-office. Nothing in the
agreement obliged him to stop engaging in sex trafficking or any other illegal
activity, and no consequences were imposed if he did. All the while he
continued to disparage his minor victims. See NPA; OPR Report pp. ii, 70, 94-
110. That many of his victims were minors was ignored.
7
EFTA00144350
Our client,
along with other survivors were trafficked at the
very same time that the FBI was purportedly investigating Epstein.
Although the Office of Professional Responsibility later examined actions of
the Florida federal attorney-prosecutors during that time period, the actions
of the FBI were not scrutinized.
It is not known who in or about this time period had access to and removed
Epstein's hard drives from his Palm Beach home, where else those hard drives
might have been located, what those hard drives contained, and where those
hard drives are today.
The FBI Did Little or Nothing to Prosecute Epstein For an
Additional Decade - Why?
After the slap-on-the-wrist sentence, Epstein and others continued their
criminal enterprise, while the FBI did little more for another decade. Further
action against Epstein and his co-conspirators was taken only --
• after Ms.
and other survivors complained again to
law enforcement and engaged in substantial efforts working
with non-FBI law enforcement;
• after lengthy prosecution of federal civil litigation alleging
the NPA violated the Crime Victims Rights Act guarantees
and a federal court determination that the failure to notify
victims and the NPA violated the Act; E.g., Doe v. United
States, 359 F. Supp.3d 1201 (S.D. Fla. 2019);
• after numerous journalists kept reporting the story; and
• after numerous other private lawsuits and other efforts
sought to bring this conspiracy to light and still do so. E.g.,
ane Doe v. Epstein, (2009) (579 F. Supp.3d (S.D.N.Y 2012));
v. Maxwell, Case No. 1-15-cv-07433-LAP (S.D.N.Y.
complaint filed 2015); Jane Doe 1 v. Deutsche Bank et al., 22-
cv-10018 (S.D.N.Y. 2022).
It was not until approximately 2019 that the federal government finally
prosecuted first Epstein and then Maxwell regarding the sex trafficking
conspiracy. The FBI's repeated and continual failures, delays, and inaction
8
EFTA00144351
allowed Epstein and others to continue their sex trafficking conspiracy
for nearly a quarter of a century. See OPR Report, pp. 27 n.38, 33, 44.
Unfortunately, Ms.
1996 report regarding Epstein's sex trafficking
and sexually concerning images proved to be spot on. In 2019 -- just as Ms.
had reported to the FBI years decades earlier -- Epstein was charged
with sex trafficking while sexually suggestive images of young girls were in
fact found in a safe in Epstein's New York mansion. According to the SDNY
prosecutors' memorandum seeking to deny Epstein bail, the 2019 search of
Epstein's mansion unearthed a "'vast trove of lewd photographs' of young-
looking girls, including hundreds of meticulously labeled nude pictures locked
in a safe:" Jeffrey Epstein: Inside billionaire's New York mansion
(usatoday.com). "CDs in the safe had hand-written labels, including 'Young
[Name] + [Name]; 'Mist nudes 1, and 'Girl pies nude"' Feds found 'vast trove' of
nude photos in Jeffrey Epstein's safe (nypost.com) See also Evidence from
Jeffrey Epstein's safe 'went missing' after FBI raid. court hears in Ghislaine
Maxwell trial (telegraph.co.uk): Ghislaine Maxwell trial: Photos of underage
girls in Jeffrey Epstein's home entered as evidence (nbcnews.com).
Had law enforcement taken even minimal action to respond to Ms.
and others' 2006, 2008, 2011, and other reports, more sex trafficking and
likely CSAM crimes could have been avoided.
It is not known if at least some of the materials, such as the labeled nude
photographs that were locked in Epstein's New York safe, were among those
reported by Ms.
in 1996.
Law Enforcement Gave Epstein a Hall Pass for What Appears to Be
One of the Largest and Longest Sex Trafficking and Alleged CSAM
Conspiracies in our Lifetime - Why?
Curiously, Epstein was known and tied to federal authorities for decades, often
in connection with suspicious and illegal activities. In 1981, Epstein reportedly
left Bear Stearns abruptly after committing a possible Regulation D violation
with rumors of him engaging in other illegal activities. See The Talented Mr.
Epstein - Vicky Ward. Epstein subsequently worked with Steven Hoffenberg at
9
EFTA00144352
Towers Financial who was prosecuted and imprisoned for bilking investors
out of over $450 million in a Ponzi scheme that was then the largest financial
fraud in American history. Hoffenberg, Epstein's business partner, went to jail
but not Epstein. Instead of prosecution, in 1992, the U.S. State Department
rented Epstein a luxurious townhouse in New York City that had been seized
from the Iranian government. The State Department Once Rented A
Townhouse Seized From Iran To Jeffrey Epstein — Then Sued Him For
Subletting It (buzzfeednews.com)
There has been rampant speculation for years that Epstein was a confidential
informant. Only recently, a new "trove of papers" has revealed that "William
Burns, director of the Central Intelligence Agency since 2021, had three
meetings scheduled with Epstein in 2014 when he was deputy secretary of
state..:' Jeffrey Epstein's Private Calendar: CIA Director William Burns,
Goldman Sachs's Top Lawyer. Noam Chomsky - WSJ. Epstein told colleagues
and friends that he was an intelligence asset. Andrew's Fixer: She's the
Daughter of Robert Maxwell and She's Manipulating His Jetset Lifestyle
funlimitedhangout.com), Epstein has been connected with many high-level
government and business elites who accompanied him on multiple trips on
the "Lolita Express" to the island of "Little St. Jeffs" and elsewhere but these
individuals have not been the subject of scrutiny. The FBI closed a forfeiture
proceeding against Epstein, noting "Epstein... has provided information to the
FBI as agreed upon:' leffrey Epstein Part 06 of 08.pdf (last page). There is
strong circumstantial evidence in the public domain that Epstein's special
relationship with the government explains the FBI's failure to investigate or
prosecute Epstein in 1996, the special treatment he received from 2005 to
2008, and the failure to investigate the possible wrongdoing of important
public officials and powerful businessmen.
The Epstein Estate Recently Alerted a Federal Court that CSAM May
Exist in Recently Discovered Images and Videos
Only weeks ago, for the first time, Epstein CSAM concerns have come under
scrutiny, finally recognized by civil litigants otherwise facing possible
prosecution themselves, as possible additional serious criminality by Epstein.
10
EFTA00144353
In a stipulated motion dated March 27, 2023, as part of a lawsuit brought by
the Virgin Islands against JP MorganChase concerning the bank's financing of
Epstein's activities, the parties advised the federal district court that the
Epstein Estate had on March 14, 2023 discovered new videos and
photographs (the Epstein Media). Government of the United States Virgin
Islands v. JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., Case No. 1:22:cv-10904-JSR, Stipulated
Motion dated March 27, 2023, Ex. 4. The Epstein Estate expressly recognized
the danger of serious criminal and civil liability attendant to possessing or
distributing the Epstein Media which might contain CSAM.
The Estate...advised counsel for the Government and Jane Doe1 of its
concern that some of the Epstein Media might contain child sex abuse
imagery ("CSAM"). The knowing accessing, possession, or distribution
or CSAM is forbidden by federal law. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 2252, 2252A. The
Estate has expressed concern that its counsel's review of the Epstein
Media could subject counsel to criminal investigation or charges or civil
claims....
Ex. 4 (footnote omitted). The parties prepared a stipulated motion to
"[p]rovide the Epstein Estate with an approved protocol for reviewing the
Epstein Media for purposes of this litigation only without fear or criminal or
civil liability...and [p]rotect against disclosure or dissemination of CSAM..." Ex.
4.
On April 5, 2023, the federal district court issued an Order establishing such a
protocol, calling for the Estate to be on alert for CSAM.
If, during the course of that review [of images], the Estate sees a
particular recording that appears to contain possible CSAM, it shall
promptly stop further review of that recording and notify the Federal
Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") or such other agency or entity as the FBI
may direct of the recording's existence. No CSAM shall be copied or
transmitted to another party, except as directed by the FBI or other
government.
11
EFTA00144354
Ex. 5. (Order April 5, 2023). It is telling that the Epstein Estate, the parties,
and the Court believe it necessary to set up a CSAM protocol before
Epstein media is reviewed.
It is not known if at least some of the Epstein Media contains what Ms.
reported in 1996. Much like the hard drives that went missing in Palm Beach
or the nude photographs locked in Epstein's New York safe, it is not known
who had access to the Epstein Media before the Court's Order, where else
those materials might have been located, and what those materials contained.
As to all three of these tranches of Epstein images, it is not known what the
implications might be as to such access, possession, and location, by persons
other than Epstein. See United States v. Russell, 639 F.Supp.2d 226 (D. Conn
2007) (attorney who took possession of laptop and destroyed hard drive
containing CSAM indicted for obstruction of justice).
The FBI Must be Held Accountable for Failures Regarding Epstein -
just as Was Done Regarding the Parkland Shooting, Nassar Sex
Abuse, and Charleston Shooting
In 1996, federal law enforcement failed to investigate Ms.
1996
reporting of the Epstein sex conspiracy. There should be no question that Ms.
who had never gone to law enforcement before, was credible and at
least deserved a modicum of attention. In 2008, the FBI cut off their
investigation "prematurely." To date, law enforcement still has not seriously
pursued possible CSAM crimes involving Epstein. Had law enforcement done
their job, the Epstein trafficking and possible CSAM crimes could have been
stopped. Had law enforcement taken even minimal action to respond to
repeated reports, many girls would never have been trafficked and the taking,
distribution or transportation of sexually exploitative images would have been
substantially reduced.
The FBI's failure to seriously investigate Epstein and others is even more
egregious than its documented failures in the investigation of the Parkland
shooting, the Larry Nassar sex abuse of gymnasts, and the Charleston Church
massacre. In the Parkland case, a federal investigation revealed that the FBI
had received credible threats in the months before the shooting. See Summary
12
EFTA00144355
and Timeline Related to Parkland Shooting Investigation — FBI (House
Judiciary Committee investigation). As the FBI explained regarding the
Parkland shooting, "Under established protocols, the information provided by
the caller should have been assessed as a potential threat to life. The
information then should have been forwarded to the FBI Miami Field Office
where appropriate investigative steps would have been taken7 FBI Statement
on the Shooting in Parkland. Florida — FBI. As a result of the investigation of
FBI failures, FBI employees were disciplined and Parkland victims were
compensated. Justice Department to Pay About $130 Million to Parkland
Shooting Victims - The New York Times (nytimes.com).
In the Nassar case, a federal investigation found that two FBI agents in
Indianapolis committed "fundamental errors" for not acting sooner on
allegations of abuse. The Inspector General investigated and released a report
concerning the FBI's failure to respond to the allegations of abuse "with the
utmost seriousness and urgency that they deserved and required" and
violations of FBI policy. DOI OIG Releases Report of Investigation and Review
of the FBI's Handling of Allegations of Sexual Abuse by Former USA
Gymnastics Physician Lawrence Gerard Nassar (justice.gov): Inspector
General Says F.B.I. Botched Nassar Abuse Investigation - The New York Times
{nytimes.com). In response to claims filed against the government, additional
review of FBI failures is underway.
As to the Charleston Church massacre, a federal investigation demonstrated
that the FBI's lapses in background checks allowed the perpetrator, a self-
proclaimed white supremacist who wanted to start a "race-war," to buy the
semiautomatic weapon used in the shootings. In connection with the federal
investigation, there have been changes in background check procedures, an
appellate court ruled that the families of the survivors could seek redress from
the federal government, and the government agreed to compensate the
relatives of the deceased in order to "bring some modicum of justice to the
victims of this heinous act of hate:' Justice Department Announces Multi-
Million Dollar Civil Settlement in Principle in Mother Emanuel Charleston
Church Mass Shooting I OPA I Department of Justice.
13
EFTA00144356
Much like the Parkland, Nassar, and Charleston Church cases, government
agencies have a responsibility to investigate and explain why the FBI failed --
for a quarter of a century -- to properly investigate Ms.
and others'
repeated allegations of Epstein's abuse. Those failures allowed his sex
trafficking to continue unabated for decades. It is imperative that the Epstein
allegations similarly be accorded the "utmost seriousness and urgency that
they deserved and required" and that the Epstein victims are also brought
"some modicum of justice."
Questions abound. What did the FBI do and not do to investigate Epstein? Why
was absolutely nothing done in response to Ms.
1996 report of
Epstein's and Maxwell's sex trafficking and CSAM concerns? Why were other
repeated early complaints about Epstein to law enforcement ignored? Was law
enforcement pressured to limit and truncate the Epstein investigation? Was
law enforcement directed to cut Epstein loose to protect powerful public
officials and businessmen who associated with Epstein or to protect Epstein's
confidential informant status? Why did law enforcement give Epstein a pass
on potential CSAM crimes by failing to obtain his computer equipment or by
suspending investigation? Are any such images, perhaps produced by Epstein,
currently traded and available on the internet? Why haven't the actions and
inactions of the FBI regarding Epstein been investigated? Even the Florida
Department of Law Enforcement investigated and reported on state law
enforcement's handling of Epstein's wrongdoing (Investigative Summary:
Work Release I PDF I Prison I Criminal Record (scribd.com), but not the
federal government.) -- but to date federal law enforcement has utterly failed
to do so.
For many years, the public has been asking for a reckoning by the FBI and the
United States government for its clear dereliction of duty to serve and protect
the American people against the Epstein sex trafficking conspiracy. The FBI is
said to hold itself to the highest of standards and integrity, grounding its
initials in its motto of "Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity" and serving as the "lead
agency for enforcing civil rights laws, aggressively investigat[ing] ... human
trafficking and involuntary servitude...."https://www.fbi.gov/history/seal-
motto; https://wwwfbi.gov/investigate/civil-rights. However, we are aware of
14
EFTA00144357
no investigation of the FBI and certainly no public disclosure or explanation.
Epstein's and Maxwell's victims, and the public at large, are owed a full
accounting of the FBI many failures and missed opportunities. The American
people, the victims, and the survivors deserve the truth.
We hereby request that a full and fair investigation be promptly launched into
the FBI's seriously bungled examination and mismanagement of the crimes
committed by Epstein and others. We look forward to your timely response.
Sincerely,

STIPULATED MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF PROTOCOL FOR REVIEW OF
VIDEOMATERIALS AND PHOTOGRAPHS FOR THE PRESENCE OF POTENTIAL
CHILD SEX ABUSE MATERIALS AND FOR DISCLOSURE OF THOSE MATERIALS
Plaintiffs Jane Doe 1 and the Government of the United States Virgin Islands
("Government"), by their respective counsel, move pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
26(c), and the authority of the Court to administer proceedings before it, for approval of an agreed-
upon protocol authorizing counsel for the Estate of Jeffrey E. Epstein (the "Epstein Estate") to
review videorecorded materials and photographs in the possession, custody, or control of the
Epstein Estate (the "Epstein Media") in response to subpoenas previously issued by Jane Doe 1
and, to the extent responsive to those subpoenas, disclose relevant portions of the Epstein Media
EFTA00144393
Cm@ 02-ev:IONI4:3§R Postinwit HQ fag ®A/AA/2§ t3go 4 et
(the "Responsive Media") to Jane Doe 1's counsel and to other parties in the litigations pending
before the Court involving claims related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Factual Background
The Court is aware of the general nature of this case from earlier proceedings. For purposes
of this Motion, it is relevant to note that Jane Doe 1 has alleged that she was the victim of coerced
commercial sex trafficking by Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators. Jane Doe 1 has issued a
subpoena to the Epstein Estate, seeking certain videorecorded materials and photographs within
the Epstein Media, and the Estate has agreed to produce Responsive Media in the Estate's
possession to the extent that the production is not inconsistent with federal or state law, and to the
extent that the videos or photographs were not downloaded or otherwise obtained at the time
through publicly-available sources.'
On March 14, 2023, counsel for the Epstein Estate notified counsel for Jane Doe 1 that it
had located materials within the Epstein Media that may be responsive to her subpoenas. The
Estate also advised counsel for the Government and Jane Doe 1 of its concern that some of the
Epstein Media might contain child sex abuse imagery (CSAM2). The knowing accessing,
possession, or distribution of CSAM is forbidden by federal law. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 2252, 2252A.
The Estate has expressed concern that its counsel's review of the Epstein Media could subject
counsel to criminal investigation or charges or civil claims in light of the possibility that the review
' Videos or photographs that were not obtained at the time through publicly-available sources is
meant to include Responsive Media that may consist of movies or You Tube videos, for example,
but does not extend to Responsive Media relating to Epstein activities or properties that may have
been publicly disclosed at any time.
2 In this motion, the parties use the term "child sex abuse imagery" or CSAM as a synonym for the
inappropriate term, "child pornography." See United States v. Larson, No. 5:19-CR-50165-RAL,
2023 WL 196171, at •1 (D.S.D. Jan. 17, 2023) ("Pornography connotes a certain aspect of consent
that is impossible when the images or videos depict children.").
EFTA00144394
Com 112e10004,J§R 006thil@fil 1
Filod 04/0g/25 Pe 5 of 5
of the Epstein Media could involve accessing CSAM. The Epstein Estate has advised that it does
not have any specific knowledge that any of the Epstein Media does, in fact, contain CSAM, but
wishes to put in place an appropriate procedure in case its counsel encounters such material.
Proposed RCN leis Protocol
Against that backdrop, counsel for the Government and Jane Doe 1 and the Epstein Estate
have conferred and have agreed that the Government and Jane Doe 1 would move the Court for
the entry of an order approving the following protocol for the Epstein Estate's review of the Epstein
Media for potential production to parties in the litigations pending before the Court:
1.
The Epstein Estate shall review the Epstein Media to determine its responsiveness
to the subpoenas that have been issued by Jane Doe I and other parties to the related litigations.
2.
If, during the course of that review, the Epstein Estate sees a particular recording
that appears to contain possible CSAM, it shall promptly stop further review of that recording and
notify the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") or such other agency or entity as the FBI may
direct of the recording's existence. No CSAM shall be copied or transmitted to another party,
except as directed by the FBI or other government agency.
3.
If no CSAM is observed during the review, the Responsive Media will be provided
to counsel for Jane Doe 1 and the Government in response to the relevant subpoena. To the extent
Responsive Media is identified prior to the identification of possible CSAM, such materials also
will be produced to counsel. Counsel for Jane Doe 1 and any other recipient of Responsive Media
may then use this material for the prosecution or defense of the above-captioned case and make
such further disclosures as are required by civil discovery rules (e.g., appropriate disclosures to
opposing counsel).
The attached proposed Order reflecting this protocol is intended to:
EFTA00144395
(few P*-2--ey-4663644§P tztfeewati2 nki4 @x$Mig/g§ Pao 46*
1.
Provide the Epstein Estate with an approved protocol for reviewing the Epstein
Media for purposes of this litigation only without fear of criminal or civil liability;
2.
Provide Jane Doe 1 with Responsive Media that may be relevant to her case;
3.
Protect against disclosure or dissemination of CSAM; and
4.
Follow the directive of 18 U.S.C. 3509(m) against reproduction of CSAM.

This Motion has been agreed to by the parties.
