First, it in the context of litigation or settlement negotiations with one of the victims. Epstein tries to contest liability or otherwise violate the particular terms related to the victims, the victim's attorney should file suit in District Court asking to enforce the agreement as an intended third party beneficiary. Second. if Epstein violates this or any other term of the agreement. the agreement says that we must give timely notice to Epstein of his breach and then file an indictment/information within 60 days of providing notice of the breach. This is one of the reasons why we shouldn't be completely blocked from communicating with the attorney for any of the named victims. He/she will be the only person who can tell us about the breach.

(USAFLS) Subject: RE: Letter to Jay Marie, • I think you should emphasize that they should treat this as they would any similarly situated matter and not try to influence the outcome of the civil litigation. In other words, once the criminal investigation is over, their involvement should cease. I had a similar situation in private practice. I'll never forget trying to int information from the FBI agents concerning a convicted pedophile who had been hired to work at a school for autistic children. In representing some of the children, we thought the FBI would find a way to provide us with information we were looking for. The FBI refused to provide anything and claimed that their investigative work was privileged. I assume that the same would apply here. The victims' lawyer(s) will interview the girls and hopefully piece together the important aspects of each case. Any legal steps taken to compel testimony or evidence would be handled by FBI general counsel who will respond accordingly. Regarding Bert Ocariz, Lefkowitz stated that he seems like a solid lawyer but that since you were involved in his potential appearance in this matter they would probably object to his selection. Lefkowitz put an additional insidious spin on it that I can't quite remember. I hope that you understand that these ad hominem attacks against you do not diminish in our eyes what you and the agents have accomplished. Take care, Jeff From: Villafana, Ann Made C.

(USAFLS) From: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) Sent: Monday, October 29, 2007 9:38 AM To: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS) Subject: Letter to Jay Lefkowitz • Hi Jeff — I am hoping that you haven't sent off your letter to Jay yet. Two of the things in Jay's letter that troubled me were: (I) the mentions of the possibility that Epstein may get a lesser sentence and (2) the limitations on our ability to speak with the State Attorney's Office and others. The terms of the agreement specify that Epstein shall make a binding recommendation of a 30 month sentence to be served with 18 months' imprisonment followed by 12 months' home confinement. I had included a term that Epstein would actually serve at least 80% of his term of incarceration. The defense objected to that term, and we negotiated the language in paragraphs 3 and 5 that limit the agreement if the judge rejects the binding recommendation — in other words, if E got a higher sentence he could appeal and if he got a lesser sentence, our obligations would cease. The agreement also requires Epstein to use his best efforts to achieve the goals of the agreement. One of those (the plea and sentencing date) already has been moved. We need to be able to communicate with the State Attorney's Office and others (including, possibly, any attorney for the victims) to insure that Epstein is abiding by the terms of the agreement. Can you include these thoughts in your letter to Jay? Thank you much! A. Marie Villafafia Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.

We specifically refused to include the provision saying that we would not communicate. If I recall the conference call, we told him we could not agree to a gag order using those words. 2. The purpose of the agreement was not an out of court settlement. Seems that they can't take no. Let's talk re how to proceed. I'm not sure we will ever agree on a letter at this point.

(USAFLS) Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2007 5:58 PM To: Sloman. Jeff (USAFLS) Subject: RE: Letter from Jay Lefkowitz Welcome to my world. I bye the way that they want to interpret this agreement. First, during the negotiations, I repeatedly told Jay that we could not bind the girls to Epstein's desired out-of-court settlement strategy and, therefore, the agreement could not try to bind them in that way. The $50,000/$150,000 thing is a complete red herring, and Jay keeps calling it a "limit," when it is actually a floor, not a ceiling. It also looks like they are planning to ask for and receive a sentence far lower than the one we agreed to. Has anyone talked to Barry about this? Maybe this is the real reason for the delay in entering the guilty plea? We also have to contact the victims to tell me about the outcome of the case and to advise them that an attorney will be contacting them regarding possible claims against Mr. Epstein. If we don't do that, it may be a violation of the Florida Bar Rules for the selected attorney to "cold call" the girls. Their complaint about the 24-year-old concerns me only because their continued dragging out of this matter is possibly going to foreclose other girls. The language of the agreement with Epstein and the letter to Judge both refer to persons we have identified as victims as defined in 2255, it says nothing about whether the gir s i claims are necessarily valid. I have no idea whether the girl who currently is 24 either wants to sue Epstein or has any viable state or other federal claims -- that is why we are TRYING to get them a lawyer. And they have always known that most of the girls are now over the age of 18 -- goodness -- the time period of the violations was from 2001 to 2005 and it is now the end of 2007! Why don't we agree to mutual recission and indict him? From: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS) Sent: Tue 10/23/2007 5:13 PM To: Villafana, Ann Marie C.

(USAFLS) From: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) Sent: Monday, October 22, 2007 8:44 PM To: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS) Subject: Epstein Hi Jeff— The number of girls that you should put in the letter is 34. That includes a couple of girls who FBI has not been able to locate (both are married and the FBI thinks they are living on military bases, but it hasn't been confirmed), but there are telephone records establishing how old they were and how often they went and statements from other girls who either recruited them or were recruited by them to go to Epstein's house. There also is one girl for whom there is similar evidence. She has been located by does not want to speak to the FBI because she has an active warrant on a shoplifting charge. One of the 34 is a girl who told the Palm Beach Police Department that she was over 18 at the time she went to Epstein's house, but the phone records show that she was 17 at the time. Also, so you know, when I told Bert Ocariz that the Officeltillecided to use a Special Master to make the selection, he asked who it was and I told him it was Judge I do not know if he has contacted Judge or not. Thank you for all your work on this and on the other matter. Have a good night. A. Marie Villafafia Assistant U.S. Attorney 561 209-1047 Fax 561 820-8777 2690 08-80736-CV-MARRA P-014275 EFTA00189190
