UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA Case No. 08-80736-Civ-Marra/Johnson JANE DOE #1 and JANE DOE #2, Plaintiffs I UNITED STATES, Defendants JANE DOE #1 AND JANE DOE #2'S SUPPLEMENTAL REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION TO THE GOVERNMENT REGARDING "ACCUSATION" OF THE VICTIMS OF CRIMES AND RELATED SUBJECTS COME NOW Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 ("the victims), by and through undersigned counsel, and request the defendant United States (hereinafter "the Government") to produce within 21 days the original or best copy of the items listed herein below for inspection and/or copying, pursuant to the Court's Order (DE 99) directing discovery in this case, the Court's Order denying the Government's motion to dismiss and lifting stay of discovery (DE 189), the Court's Omnibus Order (DE 190), and the Court's Order Denying Motion to Join (DE 324): BACKGROUND As the Government will recall, it has previously suggested that it might argue that various persons who are "victims" in this case might also be persons "accused of the crime" under 18 U.S.C. § 3771(d)(1). The Government has also entered into a non-prosecution agreement that precludes prosecution of certain unidentified "potential co-conspirators" of Jeffrey Epstein. Accordingly, Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 propound the following supplemental discovery EFTA00211021 requests. They hope that the Government will voluntarily provide the requested information without need for intervention by the Court. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCOVERY REQUESTS The numbered discovery requests below should all be construed to provide the maximum possible information to Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 and in light of the definition of terms provided at the end of the requests. If not information is covered by the request, please note that fact. If the request has multiple, letter subparts, please provided all information covered by each of the subparts: Supplemental Discovery Request I. Please provide all documents, correspondence, and other information in which the Government has treated and/or identified one or more of Jane Does 1 - 33 as a person covered by 18 U.S.C. § 3771(d)(1)'s sentence providing that "[a] person accused of the crime may not obtain any form of relief under this chapter." Supplemental Discovery Request 2. Please provide all documents, correspondence, and other information, including any FBI 302's, pertaining to an "accusation," 18 U.S.C. § 377I(d)(1), of Jane Does 1 - 33 of involvement with or complicity in any crime committed by Jeffrey Epstein or involving Jeffrey Epstein, including (but not limited to) any documents, correspondence, and other information that the Government will use to advance any claim that any of Jane Does 1 — 33 are covered by the provision in 18 U.S.C. § 3771(d)(1) regarding "[a] person accused of the crime may not obtain any form of relief under this chapter" and/or are otherwise not entitled to "obtain any form of relief' in this case. Supplement Discovery Request 3. The Non-Prosecution Agreement in this case contains a provision that provides immunity in the Southern District of Florida not only to Jeffrey Epstein, but also to "any potential co-conspirators of Epstein." Please provide: 2 EFTA00211022 (a) the names of those persons covered by this provision; (b) the names of those persons that legal counsel for Jeffrey Epstein represented were covered by this provision; (c) all documents, correspondence, and other information pertaining to those persons who are covered by this provision; (d) all documents, correspondence, and other information pertaining to legal counsel for Jeffrey Epstein's representations regarding those persons who are covered by this provision. Supplement Discovery Request 4. On September 16, 2007, the U.S. Attorney's Office wrote to defense counsel about a provision in the proposed NPA dealing with potential co- conspirators that would not highlight for the judge persons who could potentially be charged: "I will include our standard language regarding resolving all criminal liability and I will mention `co-conspirators,' but I would prefer not to highlight for the judge all of the other crimes and all of the other persons that we could charge." Please identify all of the "other crimes" and "other persons" referred to in this email, and provide all documents, correspondence, and other information pertaining to those crimes and persons.
