From "Acosta, Alex (USAFLS)" Subject: RE: Epstein update Date: Wed, 05 Mar 2008 23:35:19 +0000 Importance: Normal Thanks for the information, We have a March 12th meeting scheduled with Epstein's lawyers. I plan to conduct the review as expeditiously as I possibly can. It is difficult to be more definitive than that, however, because the defense has yet to provide me with an outline of the matters they wish me to review and they have also suggested that more than one meeting may be necessary. I can't imagine there will be any need for more than one meeting. I think your updated prosecution memorandum should be part of my review, so, unless someone down there disagrees, please send it. Thanks again. From: Senior, Robert (USAFLS) [mailto:Robert.Senlor@usdoj.gov] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 6:10 PM To: Villafana, Ann Marie C.

Where is it at in the process ? From Sent: Wednesday, Mardi 0 • To: Acosta, Alex USAFLS • Cc Subject: Epstein update Hi all — I wanted to update you on a couple of new developments in the Epstein case. First, Jeff Herman is supposed to give a press conference today announcing the filing of a third Itainst Epstein. That case also involves a victim whom we are no longer referring to in the indictment please do not tell that to the defense.] Herman seems to have latched onto tilt group which, as discussed in my third addendum to the pros memo, we have already decided to forego for the most part. Since I am not certain of the scope of your meeting, I do not know how critical it is for you to see the new acts developed in the supplemental pros memos (you reviewed the initial pros memo from May of last year). If you would like the supplements, please let me know. The legal theories have remained the same. I also wanted to call to everyone's attention the three-year statute of limitations in Florida for the state solicitation offenses. The statute will run for all the victims this summer. Once it runs we cannot insist on a state court plea to a new charge. It also means that the state cannot charge the crimes related to the victims discovered after the initial investigation. We have asked the Palm Beach Police Department to forego presenting those charges for state prosecution in deference to our prosecution. If we do not intend to go forward, it is imperative EFTA00214574 that we communicate that to the Police Department as soon as possible so they can present those victims for state prosecution. I have reserved time with the grand jury I had ho ed to resent the indictment at that time, but in lid mit ht of Jeff's communication with Jay, I will push it off until I would still like to start the presentation so we aren't accused of rushing the grand jury. S , pe that the final indictment packet will be approve y that date. Thank you. Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S. Australian Ave, Suite 400 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 EFTA00214575
