IN RE:
SEARCH WARRANT APPLICATION
MOTION TO FILE DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL
The United States of America, by and through the undersigned Assistant United States
Attorney, hereby moves to seal its Application for Search Warrant for the following reasons:
1.
The attached documents contain information relating to an ongoing grand jury
investigation; thus, pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)(6), all records and orders related to the grand-
jury proceedings must be kept under seal to the extent and as long as necessary to prevent the
unauthorized disclosure of a matter occurring before the grand jury.
2.
Public disclosure of this matter would jeopardize the criminal investigation, notify
potential subjects and/or targets and undermine the public interest and the function of the grand jury.
WHEREFORE, the United States respectfully requests that the aforementioned documents
be sealed.

AFFIDAVIT
I, E.
(the "Affiant"), being duly sworn, depose and state:
1.
I am a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") and have been
so employed for the past ten (10) years. I am currently assigned to PB-2, the Violent Crimes and
Major Offenses Squad of the Palm Beach County Resident Agency, Miami Division. Among my
responsibilities as a Special Agent are investigating crimes against children, particularly offenses
involving child pornography and the exploitation of children.
2.
I make this affidavit in support of an application by the United States of America for
issuance of a warrant to search and seize evidence of violations of Title 18, United States Code,
Sections 371, 1591, 2252, 2252A, 2422, and 2423; instrumentalities of such violations; and any
fruits of those crimes located within electronic media, specifically two 128MB CompactFlash
memory cards, seized in October 2005 by The Town of Palm Beach Police Department("PBPD")
during the execution of a State of Florida search warrant at the premises located at 358 El Brillo
Way, Palm Beach, Florida 33480, owned by Jeffrey Epstein (hereinafter, "Epstein's residence").
Those CompactFlash memory cards are more fully described as follows: (a) one Ritz Big Print
Digital Film 128 Megabyte CompactFlash memory card, marked 3608128AW4801CF53, and (b)
one
PNY

memory card,
marked
THNCF128MMA(T00CB) 999223 TAIWAN 0247 (hereinafter jointly referred to as "CompactFlash
memory cards').
3.
The facts set forth in this affidavit are based on my personal knowledge, information
obtained in this investigation from others, including other law enforcement officers, my review of
documents and records related to this investigation, and information gained through my training and
-1-
EFTA00223074
experience. Since this affidavit is being submitted for the limited purpose of securing a search
warrant, 1 have not included each and every fact known to me concerning this investigation, but have
set forth only those facts necessary to establish probable cause to believe that evidence,
instrumentalities, and fruits of crimes, that is violations of Title 18, United States Code, Sections
371, 1591, 2252, 2252A, 2422, and 2423 will be found within the CompactFlash memory cards,
specifically the electronic information contained therein.
The Statutes Involved
4.
The investigation involves possible violations of Title 18, United States Code,
Sections 371, 1591, 2252, 2252A, 2422, and 2423, which provide as follows:
a.
18
§ 371 makes it an offense for two or more persons to conspire to
commit an offense against the United States;
b.
18
. § 1591(a) makes it an offense for anyone to knowingly, in or
affecting interstate commerce, recruit, entice, provide, or obtain by any means a person , knowing
that the person has not attained the age of eighteen and will be caused to engage in a commercial sex
act;
18
§§ 2252 and 2252A prohibit the manufacture, possession,
distribution, and receipt of child pornography;
d.
18
§ 2422(b) prohibits the use of a facility of interstate commerce,

e.
18
§ 2423(b) makes it an offense for anyone to travel in interstate

sexual conduct" includes a commercial sex act with a person under eighteen or other sexual conduct
with a person under the age of sixteen.
5.
Section 2422(b) refers to activity "for which any person can be charged with a
criminal offense." Pursuant to:
a.
Florida Statutes Section 794.05, a "person 24 years of age or older who
engages in sexual activity with a person 16 or 17 years of age commits a felony of the second
degree;"
b.
Florida Statutes Section 794.021, "ignorance of the age [of the victim]
is no defense," and that neither "misrepresentation of age by [the victim] nor a bona fide

1.
Florida Statutes Sections 800.04(5)(a) and 800.04(5)(I)(2), an adult
"who intentionally touches in a lewd or lascivious manner the breasts, genitals, genital area,
or buttocks, or the clothing covering them, of a person less than 16 years of age, or forces or
entices a person under 16 years of age to so touch the perpetrator, commits lewd or lascivious
molestation," which is a felony of the second degree if the victim is 12 years of age or older
but less than 16 years of age;
d.

(1) [i]ntentionally masturbates; (2) [iintentionally exposes the genitals in a lewd or lascivious
manner; or (3) [i]ntentionally commits any other sexual act that does not involve actual
physical or sexual contact with the victim, including, but not limited to ... the simulation of
any act involving sexual activity in the presence of a victim who is less than 16 years of age,
commits lewd or lascivious exhibition," which is a felony of the second degree.
Florida Statutes Section 800.04(2), "[n]either the victim's lack of
chastity nor the victim's consent is a defense to the crimes proscribed by [Section 800.04]."
g.
Florida Statutes Section 800.04(3),"(tJhe perpetrator's ignorance of the
victim's age, the victim's misrepresentation of his or her age, or the perpetrator's bona fide

800.04]."
h.
Florida Statutes Section 800.02, a "person who commits any unnatural
and lascivious act with another person commits a misdemeanor of the second degree."
The Epstein Investigation
6.
In the Spring of 2006, Detective Joseph Recarey with the Town of Palm Beach Police
Department contacted me about the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein's solicitation of minors to
engage in prostitution and his lewd and lascivious conduct with minors. The FBI opened a case file
in July 2006, and your Affiant is the case agent assigned to the investigation.
7.
At around the same time that the FBI opened its investigation, the U.S. Attorney's
Office began a grand jury investigation. Your Affiant is one of the agents on the Federal Rule of
-4-
EFTA00223077
Criminal Procedure 6(e) list, that is, someone who is authorized to have access to the facts of the
investigation and the materials related thereto.
8.
As part of the Federal Grand Jury investigation, a subpoena was issued for all of the
physical evidence obtained by PBPD during the course of its investigation, including the evidence
seized when PBPD executed the search warrant at Epstein's residence in October 2005. Included
in the evidence seized during the search of the Premises were the two Compact Flash memory cards.
I have reviewed that evidence, which included a number of photographs of topless and nude young
women taken at Epstein's residence. The evidence, including the two CompactFlash memory cards
that are the subject of this application, have been in the custody of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation since August 2006 and have not been tampered with or altered. Prior to that, they were
in the custody of the Evidence Custodian of the Palm Beach Police Department, and I understand
that the evidence was not tampered with or altered while in PBPD's custody.
9.
I note that I am aware that Epstein's attorneys have alleged that Detective Recarey
made misstatements in his application for the state search warrant, but they have not moved to
suppress any of that evidence in connection with the prosecution of Epstein by the State Attorney's
Office for felony solicitation of prostitution. No federal agency was involved in the application for
or execution of the search warrant, and this application is based upon evidence obtained through the
FBI's independent investigation.
10.
During the course of the federal investigation, federal agents have interviewed more
than two dozen young women who have reported engaging in sexual activity with Jeffrey Epstein
while they were under eighteen. All of those girls have reported essentially the same information.
While they were under the age of eighteen (between the ages of fourteen and seventeen), they were
-5-
EFTA00223078
approached by a colleague — either an acquaintance at school, a co-worker, a "friend of a friend," or
the like — who told them that they could make a lot of money performing a "massage" for a wealthy
older man who lived on Palm Beach island. In some cases the girls were told that they would have
to remove some clothing during the massage, other girls were not told about this. The girls traveled
to Epstein's residence and entered through a side door into the kitchen of the residence. There they
were met by Epstein and/or one of his personal assistants, usually-
The
The girls would be
led up to the master bathroom area of Epstein's bedroom. The bathroom had a separate room similar
to a dressing area where a massage table would be set up. The girls described the presence of nude
and topless photographs of young women throughout the house. Epstein would lie face down on the
massage table and the girl would begin by massaging his back and legs. Epstein would then turn
over and begin to masturbate while instructing the girl to pinch his nipples or to straddle him. In
some cases, Epstein would place a large back massager/vibrator on the victim's vagina. With some
girls, he would digitally penetrate her vagina while he masturbated. The sexual activity with some
minors progressed to oral sex, sexual intercourse, and the introduction of an adult female into the
activity. With some girls, the sexual activity began with the first massage; with others, there was no
sexual activity at first but sexual activity occurred in later massages; and in many cases, Epstein
pushed the girls to engage in more and more sexual activity with each visit.
11.
Almost all of the sexual massages ended the same way, when Epstein ejaculated.
Epstein or one of his assistants would pay the girl $200 or more, depending on how much sexual
activity occurred. A fee of 5200 also would be paid to the "recruiter" who brought the girl for the
visit. If Epstein liked the girl, he or his assistant would ask for the girl's telephone number. Later,
one of Epstein's assistants would call the girl directly to arrange for the girl to return. In some
-6-
EFTA00223079
instances of scheduling a girl for "work," which was a euphemism for performing a sexual massage.
Epstein's assistants would make the arrangement for the next time that Epstein was in Florida.
During those calls, the assistant would invite the girl to return to Epstein's home to "work." Nonc
of the girls ever spontaneously went to Epstein's home to provide a sexual massage. The
appointments were set up over the telephone.
12.
The victims interviewed by the federal agents were asked about Epstein's knowledge
that they were minors. Many of the victims specifically discussed their ages with Epstein, and he
provided them with birthday gifts, made statements about trips that he wanted to take them on when
they were eighteen, and discussed high school events and college plans with them. For other victims,
the subject of age was never discussed, and for others, their "recruiter" instructed them to lie and say
they were eighteen.
13.
One of the young women interviewed during the course of the FBI's investigation was
who stated that she first met Epstein at the age of fourteen. Epstein paidillS200 - $400 to
provide him with massages. According toll during the three years that she saw Epstein, all but
three of the over one hundred massages she provided were sexual in nature. The sexual activity
ranged from self masturbation on Epstein's part to Epstein touching ■vagina. On a separate
occasion, Epstein introduce an unidentified female during a massage, who performed oral sex onl
while Epstein had sexual intercourse with the unidentified female.

paid' $500 for posing for the nude photographs. Other
-7-
EFTA00223080
victims interviewed have repeatedly pointed to the existence of the pictures of nude and semi-nude
women throughout the residence.
15.
Efforts have been made to corroborate the statements of and the other young
women who have described their sexual relationships with Epstein. With respect to', there are
telephone records showing
phone calls to' during the time period that she was seeing
Epstein.' also described receiving gifts from Epstein via Federal Express. A grand jury subpoena
issued to Federal Express contained records of a number of packages sent by Epstein or his assistants
to'. Likewise, the statements of other victims have been corroborated through telephone records,
Western Union records, travel records, credit card receipts, sales records of theaters, and rental car
records.
16.
Also, during the FBI's investigation, I interviewed a young woman,'," who had
known Epstein several years ago, when she was in her late tecns/carly twenties. The woman was a
struggling artist in New York who was specializing in painting nude portraits. Prior to preparing a
portrait,
would take several photographic studies. Epstein was very interested in her work and
her photographs, and also expressed an interest in the artist's younger sister,
who was sixteen
years old at the time.
17.
Epstein and an associate/companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, made arrangements and paid
for go travel to one of his homes, located in New Mexico. One morning during that visit, Epstein
got into bed with. Mr. Epstein toldgthat he felt like "cuddling.. described Epstein's actions
as "spooning" and constantly hugging her.
18.
Epstein and Maxwell also made arrangements and paid for
to fly home to Arizona
for the primary purpose of taking artistic photographs of her family members in the nude. This
-8-
EFTA00223081
included the artist's younger siblings, two sistersnand a younger sister, age 9 or 10, and two
brothers. Due to the sensitive nature of the photographs,
created a photo log to document each
image and the order it was taken. Later,, learned that seven photographs, two °land five of the
9 or 10 year old, were missing.
who was very upset, contacted Epstein's office and asked for one
of Epstein's assistants to look for the missing photographs.
also confronted Epstein and Maxwell
about the missing photographs which they claimed they did not possess.
few weeks later
received a telephone call from an unidentified caller who stated that the missing photographs were
in Epstein's briefcase. The missing photographs were not recovered and
believes that Epstein is
in possession of them. Although those photographs were artistic, rather than pornographic in nature,
this further shows Epstein's interest in taking and maintaining nude and semi-nude photographs of
minors.
19.
I have interviewed, and.about their experiences with Epstein. Both, and, are
reluctant to divulge their experiences publically. During the interview with she was visibly
disturbed when recalling an incident with Epstein at his ranch in New Mexico when she was sixteen
years old.. stated that one evening Epstein had come into her bedroom and sat on the bed. Epstein
stroked her hair and told her she was beautiful. Iwas unable to recall the remainder of any events
that evening.
has also expressed her concern of speaking publicly against Epstein for fear of
reprisals against her or her family.
The Items to Be Searched and the Information Sought
20.
This application seeks permission to forensically examine two CompactFlash memory
cards. Your Affiant knows that electronic media,
i.e., CompactFlash memory cards, may be
important to a criminal investigation because the objects may be used as storage devices that contain
-9-
EFTA00223082
contraband, evidence, instrumentalities, or fruits of a crime in the form of electronic data. Rule 41
of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure permit the government to search for and seize computer
hardware, software, and electronic files that are evidence of crime, contraband, instrumentalities of
crime and/or fruits of crime. I know that CompactFlash memory cards are most often used in digital
cameras to store photographs taken with the cameras. However, memory cards can be used to store
any type of digital data, including computer files.
21.
The nature of electronic media, i.e., CompactFlash memory cards, requires forensic
analysis to employ a variety of different search techniques. These techniques include, but are not
limited to, opening files, reviewing directories of files, and searching for and analyzing deleted
and/or hidden information. While conducting the analysis, data will be continuously evaluated as
to whether or not it is within the scope of the issued search warrant. Only information within the
scope of the search warrant will be acknowledged, shared with, or provided to, the investigators
involved in this matter. All other information will be closed and maintained within the analytical
unit. Forensic analysis will be conducted in close consultation with the United States Attorney's
office for specific legal guidance throughout the analytical and reporting process.
22.
I understand that reviewing the contents of the CompactFlash memory cards was
within the scope of the State search warrant that gave rise to the seizure of the cards from Epstein's
residence, and that PBPD reviewed the contents of the cards. I also understand that an FBI agent
conducted a similar review when all of the items were taken into federal custody pursuant to the
federal grand jury subpoena. Those reviews did not involve a forensic examination to determine if
there were any deleted or corrupted files, which could be recovered only via such a forensic analysis.
I understand that the cursory reviews performed by the other law enforcement officers did not delete
-10-
EFTA00223083
or add any files to the CompactFlash memory cards and, therefore, they contain the same information
that they had at the time they were removed from the Epstein residence. While the cursory review
performed by the FBI agent did not exceed the scope of the PBPD's review, and therefore did not
require the issuance of a warrant, the forensic review that is requested by this application would
expand that review and, accordingly, your Affiant requests the issuance of a search warrant in
accordance with United States' Jacobsen, 466 U.S. 109, 115-21 (1984).
23.
As explained above, Epstein instructed one of his assistants to photograph' using
a digital camera;, reported Epstein's unusual interest in, and probable theft of, nude photographs
of the minor members of her family; and Epstein engaged in inappropriate sexual activity with
numerous minor females. In light of Epstein's display of photographs ofnude and semi-nude young
women throughout his residence, your Affiant avers that there is probable cause to believe that
photographs or other evidence of the victims' visits to Epstein's residence may be found on the
CompactFlash memory cards. Accordingly, your Affiant seeks permission to forensically examine
the CompactFlash memory cards for evidence, instrumentalities, and fruits of the crimes listed
above, that is, the electronic information contained within the memory cards, including electronic
files containing photographs, owner identification information, date and time information, names,
addresses, and information regarding the source of any photographs or the persons depicted in any
photographs.
24.
Although the cursory reviews did not reveal any of the items sought, your Affiant
avers that there is probable cause to believe that a thorough forensic examination, which would
include the recovery of any deleted or corrupted files, would result in the discovery of the data listed
above, which is evidence, instrumentalities, and fruits of the crimes under investigation.
-11-
EFTA00223084
WHEREFORE, your Affiant requests that this court issue a search warrant for the
CompactFlash memory cards described in the Application for Search Warrant and for the seizure of
the items listed above.
