Background On April 26, 2021, the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) was made aware that an individual by the name of David Grazette entered MDC Brooklyn via the West Lobby and advised that he wished to visit inmate Ghislaine Maxwell, Reg. No. 02879-509. The Special Investigative Lieutenant that was on duty at the time reported to the front lobby and explained visiting procedures. IL was reported that Mr. Grazette asked if he could "ring her bell and ask her can she please see me." The Lieutenant advised Mr. Grazette of the visiting procedures, again, and he stated he would write inmate Maxwell and request to be placed on her visiting list. Mr. Grazette left without incident; however, the Lieutenant was aware that Mr. Grazette was frequently writing inmate Maxwell and notified CTU of the incident. On April 29, 2021, CTU was notified that Mr. Grazette attempted to establish a legal visit with inmate Maxwell. MDC Brooklyn attorneys requested that Mr. Grazette provide his BAR information.

Be well, David Grazette [SIC]" The portion of the email exchange that was provided to CTU is attached in its entirety. Mr. Grazette regularly writes inmate Maxwell, who is housed at MDC Brooklyn awaiting trial. The contents of these letters appear sporadic. However, closer examination of the totality of the context has revealed that Mr. Grazette's correspondence not only indicates an insalubrious infatuation with inmate Maxwell, but purports indirect threats. This is further exemplified by the attempts he has made to gain access to inmate Maxwell at MDC Brooklyn by means of establishing himself as an approved visitor and falsely representing himself in an attempt to obtain a legal visit with her. CTU was advised that MDC staff, especially those assigned to perimeter patrols, were made aware of Mr. Grazette and advised to use caution if approached.
