EXHIBIT Case Document Entered on FLSD Docket Page of Case Document Entered on FLSD Docket Page of KIRKLAND ELLIS LLP Jay Lefkowitz P.C To Call Writer Directly lefkowitz kirkland.com VIA E-MAIL Alexander Acosta United States Attorneys Office Southern District of Florida AND AfflUATED PARTNERSHIPS Citigroup Center East 53rd Street New York New York w.kirkland.com November South Australian A venue Suite West Palm Beach Florida Re Jeffrey Epstein Dear Alex Facsimile I am responding to the draft letter Marie sent to me last night which purports to be a letter that you would sign and send to each of the individuals whom you have not even identified to us and 267about whom the government has made clear it takes no position as to the validity of potential claims that these individuals may have against Mr Epstein I cannot reconcile your commitment to take no position regarding these potential claims with your intention to sign such a letter which will surely find its way almost immediately into the press refers to these individuals as minor victims refers to Mr Epstein as a sexual predator misstates the terms of our federal non-prosecution agreement the Agreement and invites federal witnesses to attend Mr Epsteins state sentencing in order to give victim impact statements although they are in most respects not state victims at all More fundamentally we dont understand tlie basis for your Offices belief that it is appropriate for any letter to be sent to these individuals at this stage before Mr Epstein has either entered a plea or been sentenced We respectfully disagree with your view that you are required to notify the alleged victims pursuant to the Justice for All Act of First U.S.C the relevant statute under the Agreement for the settlement of civil remedies does not have any connection to the Justice for All Act The Justice for All Act refers to restitution and is a civil remedy not a restitution statute We also believe that the draft letter could not diverge more dramatically from your statement last week that your Office would not intervene in the state process from this point forward and that you would merely monitor it Indeed the letter as currently drafted invites federal witnesses to become participants in a state proceeding thus federalizing the state plea and sentencing in the same manner as would the appearance and statements of a member of your Office or the FBI Chicago Hong Kong London Los Angeles Munich San Francisco Washington D.C RFP MIA Case Document Entered on FLSD Docket Page of Alexander Acosta November Page2 KIRKLAND ELLIS LLP With that said I respectfully identify below the specific objections we have with the proposed letter First it states that Mr Epstein has agreed that he will not contest jurisdiction or liability if the alleged victims elect to seek damages from him This language implies that Mr Epstein has agreed to concede jurisdiction and has waived liability whether or not each individual identified by the government as a victim of federal crimes ultimately settles her claim pursuant to the Agreement The letter as drafted invites the witnesses to whom it is sent to believe that they can litigate their claims without Mr Epstein being able to contest jurisdiction or liability a construction of the Agreement that is in direct conflict with its terms The Agreement we entered makes clear that Mr Epsteins waiver of jurisdiction and liability is limited to those instances where the identified individual settles with him pursuant to Sections through of the Agreement and Addendum As you are well aware Mr Epstein has no obligation or intention to concede jurisdiction or liability in any claim for damages by an enumerated victim or anyone else where that party fails to settle her claims pursuant to the terms of the Agreement Second there is no basis to refer to Mr Epstein as a sexual predator Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement Mr Epstein will be required to register as a sexual offender not a sexual predator Those are very different categories under Florida law Mr Epstein has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to two counts of violation of Florida Statutes and Under Florida law those charges do not classify him as a sexual predator See Florida Statute a Rather he is only a sexual offender as defined by Florida Statute 1Xa To identify Mr Epstein as a sexual predator in this letter or elsewhere,.is inaccurate and would irreparably harm him Third we find no basis in law that provides the identified individuals with either a right to appear at Mr Epsteins plea and sentence or to submit a written statement to be filed by the State Attorney According to Florida Statutes and the sentencing court permits only the victim of the crime for which the defendant is being sentenced to appear before the sentencing court for the purpose of making a statement under oath for the record and submit a written statement under oath to the office of the state attorney which statement shall be filed with the sentencing court Florida Statute citing emphasis added Here Mr Epstein is pleading guilty to and being sentenced for state offenses not the federal offenses under which the government has recognized these identified individuals as victims The state charges for which Mr Epstein will be sentenced are not coextensive with the federal investigation Under Florida faw only those persons identified as victims of the state offenses may make a statement at the hearing or submit a written statement RFP MIA Case Document Entered on FLSD Docket Page of Alexander Acosta November Page3 KIRKLAND ELLIS LLP With respect encouraging these individuals to participate in the state sentencing will have the effect of creating a media frenzy that will surely impact the sentence Mr Epstein receives precisely what your Office promised to avoid Such an intrusion into state affairs when the identified individuals are not even victims of the crime for which Mr Epstein is being sentenced is highly inappropriate The federal investigation of Mr Epstein has been concluded and witnesses or civil claimants identified as purported victims of federal offenses have no place in the state proceeding We also think it will likely promote spurious civil litigation against Mr Epstein a result that would be highly irresponsible to encourage Fourth we take serious issue with the assertion in the letter that the government has identified each recipient of the letter as a minor victim The tenn minor victim is notably absent from the Agreement Section of the Agreement states only that the government will provide a list of individuals whom it has identified as victims as defined in U.S.C Indeed you have told us that at least one identified individual is currently years old and thus would appear not to have been a minor at the time of the alleged conduct and therefore is presumably not eligible to settle her cJaims under the Agreement To confer on these women the imprimatur of a government finding is both incendiary and unwarranted Fifth your letter mischaracterizes the nature of Mr Epsteins liability under the S.C provisions of the Agreement Your letter states that every individual who receives the letter is a victim of certain offenses including travel in interstate commerce to engage in prostitution with minors and the use of facilities of interstate commerce to induce minors to engage in prostitution This construction implies that these individuals are all victims of both offenses travel in interstate commerce to engage in prostitution with minors and the use of facilities of interstate commerce to induce minors to engage in prostitution Clearly that is not the case Consequently the language should be revised to reflect that the identified individuals may be victims of certain offenses but not necessarily both offenses Additionally for the sake of fairness and candor we believe the same language contained in your letter to Judge Davis stating that the-United States takes no position as to the validity of any such claim under this statute should be included in any proposed letter Sixth your letter states that Mr Podhurst and Mr Josefsberg may represent the identified individuals Since we have not yet had the opportunity to speak with Mr Podhurst or Mr Josefsberg though we hope to do so this week we do not know that they will even agree to serve in this capacity Since I believe the role you are casting for these attorneys creates a significant ethical problem specifically the conflict between counseling the clients to settle for the statutory amount and rewarding the attorneys for litigating rather than settling their claims I would not assume that they or any ethical attorney would agree to accept this assignment as you define it Whether that will mean that other attorneys will have to be sought or you will realize that the role is untenable as described either result will require modification of the letter RFP MIA Case Document Entered on FLSD Docket Page of Alexander Acosta November Page4 KIRKLAND ELLIS LLP Seventh the identified individuals should not contact lawyers in your Office or agents of the FBI To encourage these individuals to contact federal law enforcement officials is entirely inconsistent with your promise that there will be no further federal involvement in this case Moreover such contact can only invite the possibility for impermissible or partial commwrications Recently you asked the defense not to contact potential witnesses in this matter in part because the Agreement contemplated the selection of an attorney representative For the same reason there should be no continuing invitation for the witnesses to remain in contact with either your Office or the FBI Any questions these individuals may have regarding their rights under the Agreement should be answered by Judge Davis or the attorney representative Eighth this letter should be mailed rather than delivered by hand We see no reason for hand delivery and mailing will ensure that there are no impermissible or partial commwrications made to the identified individuals upon delivery of the letter If your Office insists on hand delivery of any such letter however it should only be made by a third party service not by law enforcement agents Finally as you know Judge Starr has requested a meeting with Assistant Attorney General Fisher to address what we believe is the unprecedented nature of the component of the Agreement We are hopeful that this meeting will take place as early as next week Accordingly we respectfully request that we postpone our discussion of sending a letter to the alleged victims until after that meeting We strongly believe that rushing to send any letter out this week is not the wisest manner in which to proceed Given that Mr Epstein will not even enter his plea for another few weeks time is clearly not of the essence regarding any notification to the identified individuals Sincerely RFP MIA H6 I 2I I?I?I I?J 5XJ jJ"I?J L6 LJ JF5 JLI dJRI?I?JXI?I?I?J I?I?I?I?I?I?Jp L6 I?J LK I?I?I?J?J?/d jI?I?I?I?I?JdJj5?J I?I?I?J jJ"JRI j/d LI I?J?J?I I LJ J?J
