Both sides'agree to the preparation of the

are the maximums and minimums, Mr. Epstein.
6
What is proposed is that you will be
7
pleading guilty to felony solicitation to

prostitution and procuring a person under

18 for prosecution. A PSI would be waived,
10
you would be adjudicated guilty of both

THE COURT: And on 06 9454, the

facility? He's going to do time in the

sentenced to six months in the Palm Beach

24

them with Your Honor.
THE COURT: None of the them appear
to be articulated in the plea sheet which
is why I'm asking.
MR. GOLDBERGER: These are the
15
standard conditions of community control by
16
statute would apply to anyone that goes on
17
community control and out of an abundance
18
of caution, we simply memorialized those

standard conditions in the plea sheet

probation officer, specified by who?
2
PROBATION OFFICER: Specified by you,
3
Your Honor.
4
THE COURT: I don't see that in the
5
plea sheet. That's why I'm asking the
6
questions. No one has specified how often,
7
how frequently he is to have contact with
8
his parole and probation officer.
9
Confinement to an agreed upon residence
10
during the hours away from employment and
11
public service activity, has that been
12
articulated?
13
MS. BELOHLAVEK: I believe
14
Judge McSorley has a standard order
15
somewhere on the bench up there regarding
16
this, I'm told by the prosecutor.
17
MS. LENHARDT: Judge, usually this is
18
the probation sheet she hands out to folks.
19
THE COURT: I have seen those
20
sheets -- I have seen them incorporated in
21
plea agreements which is why I'm asking
22
MR. GOLDBERGER: I see.
23
THE COURT: Is there some reason you
24
didn't use this particular document in this
25
case?

MR. GOLDBERGER: We'd be happy to
execute that document, Your Honor. We were
-- we overreacted by just having him sign
off on all conditions of community control.
THE COURT: Well, this is --
MR. GOLDBERGER: Perhaps the better
practice would be --
THE COURT: This is, the reason
Judge McSorley does this which makes
ultimate sense is we're going to be here
14
half the morning if we're going to decide
15
among ourselves now what the --
16
MR. GOLDBERGER: That makes sense.
17
THE COURT: I'm not going to leave
18
this just unspecified.

MS. BELOHLAVEK: We can take care of
20
that right now if you could give us a few
21
minutes.

THE COURT: All right.

These are the standard conditions
24
that Judge McSorley normally uses. If you
25
like them, you need to circle the ones that

apply and everyone must initial them. We
2
will go over it. If you wish to change
3
you understand there is quite a bit of
4
latitude given the court in putting
5
somebody on community control. If you
6
agree to some change, let me know', but
7
understand at the outset that I'm a big fan
8
of specificity. I want to know what he
9
will be doing for employment. I want to
10
know exactly where he is going to be living
11
and I want it on the record now. It can
12
change but it can only change with
13
preapproval by DOC. I want it crystal
14
clear. I don't want the community control
15
officer who gets this case the day he walks
16
out the Palm Beach County to have any doubt
O
17 .
or confusion as to exactly what this
18
defendant is supposed to do, where he is
19
supposed to be when, exactly what I am
20
requesting that officer to supervise.
21
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Absolutely.
22
THE COURT: Okay.

MR. GOLDBERGER: We will work on it.

Thank you, Your Honor.

11
12
13
Judge McSorley's conditions of community
control and we asked the Department of
Corrections representative to assist us to
make sure we did everything properly.
They were very helpful and we executed the
document.
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Yes, and Your Honor;
this defendant'doesn't fall under the sex
offender probation but we have included
14
special sex offender conditions as part of
15
the community control and they are all
16
circled there.
17.
THE COURT: The plea agreement stated
18
the defendant is designated as a sexual
19
offender pursuant to Florida Statute
20
942.035.
21
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct. But the
22
sex offender probation, the statute is
23
different and only applies to certain
24
offenses and this one was not enumerated.

sure both I and the defendant are clear.
2
The sexual offender statute you are
3
referring to in the plea sheet is the one
4
that requires registration?
5
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct.
6
MR. GOLDBERGER: Correct.

that.

that requires the special conditions of sex
offender probation?
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct'.
14
THE COURT: Now, rather than 948, do
15
you want me to disregard 948? He's read
16
it?
17
MS. BELOHLAVEK: He's read it.
18
THE COURT: We will leave it in
19
there. But these conditions we are going
20
to go over right now are going to be viewed
21
in my mind, yes, and they have been signed
22
by the defendant and we will go over that
23
in a second as a part of the whole plea.

MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct.

My understanding about the daily

log, maybe I'm just confused from other
13
cases I've heard, is the daily log is a
14
weekly log, I guess it is submitted ahead
15
of time, is that correct?
16
PROBATION OFFICER: That is correct,
17
Your Honor.
18
THE COURT: So part A, where he has
19
to stay in his residence except for one
20
hour before and after the approved
21
employment, community service work and

other activity. All that's information

that will be recorded in writing and the

for whatever reason -- 18-months is a long
time, should he not be owning that
14
residence or able to reside there, he will
have the obligation of notifying his
probation officer prior, and I emphasize
this, prior to his release from custody. I

assume that the department will be notified

prior to, to his release?

Hai someone verified that 358 El

done prior to his release.

congregating on that street. We think the

address applies, if it doesn't, we fully

recognize that he can't live there.

not have any contact with the victim, are

there more than one victim?

MS. BELOHLAVEK: There's several.

making that plural. You are not to have

Okay. It has been

brought to my attention that FDLE is the

one who is statutorily required to handle

themselves to impose additional

requirements, y'all understand that?

he has to do is the official State of

Florida registration?
3
MS. BELOHLAVEK: Correct.
4
THE COURT: Mr. Epstein, I need to
5
make sure you understand that that's what's
6
required by this plea. Anyone on
7
probation, community control is required to
8
live and abide by the laws. So if a
9
jurisdiction you choose to reside in should
10
have some additional municipal requirements
11
you will be required in order to comply
12
with the law of living there, just like you
13
can't get a parking ticket or speeding
14
ticket, to comply with those regulations
15
but I want to make sure you understand
16
because I have seen some defendants who
17
have been confused about this. If you
18
don't, for example, if the Town of Palm
19
Beach has you register that does not take
20
care of your requirement. Your requirement
21
to register with FDLE through the Sheriff's
22
office is separate, distinct and must be
23
done on their form according to their
24
schedule.

THE DEFENDANT: Yes.
8
THE COURT: Has anybody threatened
9
you, coerced you or promised you anything
10
other than the terms of this plea to get
11
you to enter this plea?

MR. GOLDBERGER: That's fine.
5
THE COURT: Defendant needs to
6
approach as well.
7
(Whereupon, there was a conference at
8
the bench.)
9
MR. GOLDBERGER: The reason why I
10
asked to come sidebar, there is a
11
nonprosecut•ion agreement with the United
12
States Attorney's office that triggers as a
13
result of this plea agreement. In other
14
words, they have signed off and said they
15
will not prosecute Mr. Epstein in the
16
Southern District of Florida for any
17
offense upon his successful taking of this
18
plea today. That is a confidential
19
document that the parties have agreed to.
20
Just in an abundance of caution, I wanted
21
to tell the court.
22
THE COURT: I understand, that would
23
also be invalidated should he violate his
24
community control?
25
MR. GOLDBERGER: Absolutely. That

nonprosecution agreement --
2
MS. BELOHLAVEK: They spell all that

out.
4
THE COURT: Mr. Epstein needs to come
5
closer.
6
Mr. Epstein, your attorney has
7
told me that in addition to everything, we
8
talked about another Inducement, shall we
9
say, to your taking this plea is that the
10
U.S. Attorney for the Southern' District of
11
the State of Florida, federal prosecutor,
12
has agreed to a nonprosecution agreement
13
with you, meaning that if you successfully
14
complete probation and do everything you're
15
supposed to, they have, have agreed not to
16
prosecute you federally, did you understand
17
that?
18
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, ma'am.
19
THE COURT: And I would view that as
20
a significant inducement in accepting this
21
plea.
22
MS. BELOHLAVEK: They are actually in
23
court here today, also.
24
THE COURT: Okay.

that a sealed copy of that
Mr. Epstein
6
has signed that document?
7
MR. GOLDBERGER: Yes, I would like to
8
seal the copy.
9
THE COURT: I want a sealed copy of
10
that filed in this case. That is the only
11
other condition of the agreement that is
12
influencing this defendant to make this
13
decision?
14
. MR. GOLDBERGER: Absolutely. I think
15
that's the right idea.
16
(Return to open court.)
17
THE COURT: Mr. Epstein, is there
18
anything else?
19
THE DEFENDANT: No, ma'am.
20
THE COURT: Because I don't take
21
these pleas unless they are freely and
22
voluntarily made.

THE DEFENDANT: I understand that.
