Introduction A. Affiant I. I have been a Task Force Officer with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") since 2017. As such, I am a "federal law enforcement officer within the meaning of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(a)(2)(C), that is, a government agent engaged in enforcing the criminal laws and duly authorized by the Attorney General to request a search warrant. I am also a detective with the New York Police Department ("NYPD") and have been employed by the NYPD for approximately fourteen years. I am currently assigned to investigate violations of criminal law relating to the sexual exploitation of children as part of an FBI Task Force. I have gained expertise in this area through classroom training and daily work related to these types of investigations. As part of my responsibilities, I have been involved in the investigation of cases involving sex trafficking, enticement of minors, and transportation of minors for illegal sex acts, and have participated in the execution of search warrants for electronic devices and electronic storage media. 2. I make this Affidavit in support of an application pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure for a warrant to search the electronic devices specified below (the 2 2017.08.02 EFTA00076713 "Subject Devices") for the items and information described in Attachment A. This affidavit is based upon my personal knowledge; my review of documents and other evidence; my conversations with other law enforcement personnel; and my training, experience and advice received concerning the use of computers in criminal activity and the forensic analysis of electronically stored information ("ESI"). Because this affidavit is being submitted for the limited purpose of establishing probable cause, it does not include all the facts that I have learned during the course of my investigation. Where the contents of documents and the actions, statements, and conversations of others are reported herein, they are reported in substance and in part, except where otherwise indicated. B.

A red Nikon digital camera, which was recovered on a file cabinet next to a desk in a cabana on the island ("Subject Device-62"). 7. Subject Device-1 through Subject Device-11 and Subject Device-13 through Subject Device-60 are all computers and/or storage devices capable of storing electronic picture and message files. 8. Subject Device-61 is a device that identifies a user to a service over the Internet. It acts as a key that allows users to access other data on other devices, such as Subject Device-1 through Subject Device-11 and Subject Device-13 through Subject Device-60. 9. Subject Device-12 and Subject Device-62 are both digital cameras capable of taking and storing electronic picture files. 10. The Subject Devices have all been transported by the FBI to FBI offices in the Southern District of New York. At this time, all of the Subject Devices are presently located in the Southern District of New York. 11 2017.08.02 EFTA00076722 C. The Subject Offenses 11. As detailed herein, all of the Subject Devices have been the subject of prior search warrant applications, each of which has been granted and has authorized their search of evidence, fruits and instrumentalities of violations of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1591 (sex trafficking of minors) and 371 (conspiracy to commit sex trafficking) (the "Original Subject Offenses.") 12. For the reasons detailed below, I believe that there is also probable cause to believe that the Subject Devices contain evidence, fruits, and instrumentalities of additional violations of criminal law, including violations of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2422 (transportation of minors), 2423 (enticement to travel), and 371 (conspiracy to commit transportation of minors and enticement to travel) (the "Additional Subject Offenses"). The Target Subjects of this investigation are known and unknown co-conspirators of JEFFREY EPSTEIN, including but not limited to II. Probable Cause and the Initial Search Warrants and GHISLAINE MAXWELL. A. Probable Cause Regarding the Target Subjects' Commission of the Original and Additional Subject Offenses 13. On or about July 2, 2019, a grand jury in the Southern District of New York returned an Indictment charging JEFFREY EPSTEIN with violations of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1591 (sex trafficking of minors); and Title 18, United States Code, Section 371 (sex trafficking conspiracy). A copy of the Indictment is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated by reference. That same day, the Honorable Barbara Moses, United States Magistrate Judge, signed an arrest warrant for JEFFREY EPSTEIN. A copy of the Arrest Warrant is attached hereto as Exhibit B and is incorporated by reference. 12 2017.08.02 EFTA00076723 14. I know from my personal participation in this investigation and my conversations with other law enforcement agents that on July 6, 2019, JEFFREY EPSTEIN was aboard a private jet that flew from France and landed at approximately 5:30 p.m. in Teterboro Airport in Bergen, New Jersey. Upon his arrival at Teterboro Airport, and as part of his re-entry into the United States, EPSTEIN was searched by agents of U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP"), who found both Subject Device-1 and Subject Device-2 in EPSTEIN's possession. The CBP agents then provided Subject Device-1 and Subject Device-2 to Special Agents of the FBI who also placed EPSTEIN under arrest. The FBI subsequently transported Subject Device-1 and Subject Device- 2 to FBI offices located in the Southern District of New York, where they are currently located. 15. Following his arrest, JEFFREY EPSTEIN was detained pending trial at the Metropolitan Correctional Center ("MCC") in New York, New York. On or about August 10, 2019, the Bureau of Prisons confirmed that EPSTEIN had been found unresponsive in his cell at the MCC that morning, and was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. 16. Notwithstanding JEFFREY EPSTEIN's death, the investigation that led to his indictment remains ongoing. In particular, that investigation has identified additional criminal activity beyond that outlined in the indictment, as well as at least two potential co-conspirators: and GHISLAINE MAXWELL. 17. Count One of the Indictment alleged that JEFFREY EPSTEIN conspired with others to traffic minors, and further identified three individuals who worked for EPSTEIN (identified in Exhibit A as "Employee-1", "Employee-2," and "Employee-3") and facilitated EPSTEIN's abuse of minor girls by, among other things, arranging victims' encounters with EPSTEIN and paying victims after these encounters. The individual identified in Exhibit A as "Employee-2" is a Target Subject of the ongoing investigation. 13 2017.08.02 EFTA00076724 18. On or about November 28, 2018, the Miami Herald began publishing a series of articles relating to the defendant, his sexual misconduct with minors, and a previous investigation into his conduct in Florida from in or about 2005 through 2008. The article included information about role in JEFFREY EPSTEIN's sexual abuse of minors. Based on my participation in this investigation, I have learned that bank records obtained by the Government appear to show that just days later, on or about December 3, 2018, the defendant wired $250,000 from a trust account to This course of action, and in particular its timing, suggests that EPSTEIN was attempting to influence who might have been able to provide information against him in light of the recently re-emerging allegations.' 19. As set forth in Exhibit A, from at least in or about 2002, up to and including at least in or about 2005, JEFFREY EPSTEIN sexually abused dozens of minor girls in Manhattan, New York; West Palm Beach, Florida; and elsewhere. During that time and continuing to the present, EPSTEIN possessed and controlled a residence, which is described in Exhibit A as "the New York Residence." 20. As further set forth in paragraphs 8 through 10 of Exhibit A, from at least in or about 2002, up to and including at least in or about 2005, JEFFREY EPSTEIN sexually abused numerous minor victims at the New York Residence. In particular, and as alleged in the Indictment, when a victim arrived at the New York Residence, she would be escorted to a room inside the New York Residence with a massage table, where she would perform a massage on EPSTEIN. The victims, who were as young as 14 years of age, were told by EPSTEIN or other In or about November and December of 20 19, participated in two proffer sessions with the Government. During those meetings, claimed that she did not believe the December 2018 payment was meant to influence her. also claimed that she did not know that EPSTEIN engaged in sex acts during massages and that she did not know that any of the females who massaged EPSTEIN were underage. The Government did not find those statements credible. 14 2017.08.02 EFTA00076725 individuals to partially or fully undress before beginning the "massage." During the encounter, EPSTEIN would escalate the nature and scope of physical contact with his victim to include, among other things, sex acts such as groping and direct and indirect contact with the victims' genitals. EPSTEIN typically would also masturbate during these sexualized encounters, ask victims to touch him while he masturbated, and touch victims' genitals with his hands or with sex toys. Following each encounter, EPSTEIN or one of his employees or associates paid the victim in cash. 21. As set forth in paragraphs 12 through 13 of Exhibit A, to further facilitate his ability to abuse minor girls in New York, JEFFREY EPSTEIN asked and enticed certain of his victims to recruit additional minor girls to perform "massages" and similarly engage in sex acts with EPSTEIN. When a victim would recruit another minor girl for EPSTEIN, he paid both the victim- recruiter and the new victim hundreds of dollars in cash. EPSTEIN knew that his victims were underage, including because certain victims told him their age. 22. Since JEFFREY EPSTEIN's death, the FBI's ongoing investigation has also revealed probable cause to believe that JEFFREY EPSTEIN's abuse of minor victims started substantially before 2002, i.e., the starting point of the conduct alleged in the Indictment, and that GHISLAINE MAXWELL helped to facilitate and participate in that abuse. In particular, and among other things, the investigation has revealed that MAXWELL participated in the transportation and enticement of at least one minor victim ("Minor Victim-1") for EPSTEIN to sexually abuse. In particular, based on my personal participation in interviews with Minor Victim- 15 2017.08.02 EFTA00076726 1 and my review of notes and reports written by other law enforcement agents who interviewed Minor Victim-1,2 I have learned the following: a. Minor Victim-1 first met EPSTEIN and MAXWELL when Minor Victim-1 was at summer camp in or about 1994. Minor Victim-1 was approximately 14 years old at the time she met EPSTEIN and MAXWELL. Following that meeting, MAXWELL and EPSTEIN attempted to befriend Minor Victim-1, taking her to the movies and on shopping trips. MAXWELL also asked Minor Victim-1 about school, her classes, her family, and other aspects of her life. Over time, MAXWELL began to normalize inappropriate and abusive conduct by, among other things, undressing in front of Minor Victim-1 and being present when Minor Victim-1 undressed in front of EPSTEIN. Within the first year after MAXWELL and EPSTEIN met Minor Victim-1, EPSTEIN began sexually abusing Minor Victim-1. EPSTEIN sexually abused Vicitm-1 on multiple occasions between 1994 and 1997. MAXWELL was present for and involved in some of this abuse. In particular, MAXWELL involved Minor Victim-1 in group sexualized massages of Epstein. During those group sexualized massages, MAXWELL and/or Minor Victim-1 would engage in sex acts with EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN and MAXWELL both encouraged Minor Victim-1 to travel to EPSTEIN's residences in both New York and Florida. As a result, Minor Victim-1 was sexually abused by EPSTEIN in both New York and Florida on multiple occasions when Minor Vicitm-1 was under the age of 18. 2 In or about January 2020, Vicitm-1 anonymously filed a civil lawsuit as a "Jane Doe" against EPSTEIN's estate and MAXWELL seeking damages for the conduct described in this affidavit. Information provided by Victim-1 has been corroborated by independent evidence, including other witness statements and travel records, and has proven reliable. 16 2017.08.02 EFTA00076727 Searches of the New York Residence 23. On or about July 6, 2019, the Honorable Barbara Moses, United States Magistrate Judge, signed a search warrant authorizing a search of the New York Residence (the "First Search Warrant"). The First Search Warrant is attached as Exhibit C and incorporated by reference herein. 24. I know based on my conversations with other law enforcement officers and my review of reports prepared by others that at approximately 6 p.m. on or about July 6, 2019, law enforcement officers (the "Search Team") commenced executing the search warrant at the New York Residence. JEFFREY EPSTEIN had been arrested on the charges contained in the Indictment shortly before the execution of the search warrant. Based on the Search Team's observations during an initial search of the New York Residence, at approximately 7 p.m., the Search Team stopped the search and froze the scene in order to seek a new search warrant. On or about July 7, 2019, the Honorable Barbara Moses, United States Magistrate Judge, signed a search warrant authorizing a search of the New York Residence (the "Second Search Warrant"). The Second Search Warrant is attached as Exhibit D, and incorporated by reference herein. At approximately 2:30 a.m., the Search Team resumed the search, and commenced searching pursuant to the Second Warrant. 25. Based on my conversations with members of the Search Team, I have learned the following: a. During the search, the Search Team located a room that contained a table covered with a sheet, which appeared to be a massage table (the "Massage Room"). The walls of the Massage Room appeared to be covered in a type of felt-like tapestry fabric. Two paintings and three photographs, all depicting nude females, were hanging on the walls of the Massage Room. 17 2017.08.02 EFTA00076728 One of the photographs appeared to depict a nude girl, who appeared to be approximately 15 to 20 years old. The room also contained several vibrating sex toys. b. The Search Team observed a number of computing devices, including computers and tablet devices, throughout the New York Residence. c. Inside a safe in a closet on the third floor (the "Safe"), the Search Team discovered and seized, among other items, several binders containing sleeves of compact discs, most of which are labeled with handwriting. In total, the binders contain dozens of compact discs. One disc is labeled "Young ' Another disc is labeled "Nudes 00-24." Another is labeled "Misc. Nudes." Yet another is labeled "Girl Pics Nude." Some discs contain the word "Zorro" or "LSJ." For example, one disc is marked Zorro Pics." Based on my conversations with law enforcement agents who have participated in this investigation, I believe the name "Zorro" refers to Zorro Ranch, EPSTEIN's property in New Mexico, and the name LSJ refers to Little Saint James, EPSTEIN's property in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The majority of the discs contain titles that include female names. Some of the discs in the binders seized by the Search Team have titles that appear to refer to trips or vacations. d. During the search, the Search Team did not seize at that time certain binders of discs located in the Safe, where the majority of the discs in the binder were labeled in a manner that did not appear to refer to girls or nudes. The Search Team also did not seize at that time several unlabeled hard drives, which were also located in the Safe. As detailed below, those additional binders of discs are among the subjects of this application. e. In addition to the Safe, in the drawer of a dresser in a room on the Fifth floor of the New York Residence, the Search team discovered and seized, among other items, a shoebox, which contained numerous compact discs. The majority of the discs are labeled, in handwriting, 18 2017.08.02 EFTA00076729 with female names. One disc is labeled "Thai Massage." Another disc is labeled "Blonde Girl Photo Shoot." Yet another disc is labeled "Misc. Girls Nude/Dinner--Scientists." The Search Team seized all of those discs. In another drawer of that same dresser, the Search Team discovered loose polaroid photographs depicting young, nude females who, based on the training and experience of law enforcement officers who observed them, appear to be teenagers. In that same drawer, the Search Team discovered a folder marked, in handwriting, which contained photographs, including nude and sexually suggestive photographs of a young girl who, based on the training and experience of law enforcement officers who observed them, appears to be younger than 18. The folder also contained other nude photographs of young girls who appear to be teenagers, based on my training and experience. Inside the folder is a compact disc marked "Sue at LIS 6/03," which was seized by the Search Team. f. In a closet on the Fifth Floor of the New York Residence, the Search Team discovered, among other items, a box marked "women/old photos." The box contained, among other items, approximately seven compact discs, which are labeled with hand-written titles. One disc is labeled "nudes 00-24." Another is labeled "Photographer-M3" The remaining discs contain titles that include female names. All of the foregoing discs were seized by the Search Team. g. In that same closet, the Search Team discovered numerous black binders containing what appear to be print outs of digital photographs (with file names underneath) and compact discs. The Search Team seized approximately ten binders (the "Seized Binders"),3 which appeared to contain, among other photographs, photographs of nude or partially nude young girls, some of which are in sexually suggestive poses. Based on the training and experience of law enforcement 3 The Search Team did not seize the remaining binders at that time. 19 2017.08.02 EFTA00076730 officers who observed them, at least some of the young girls depicted in the photographs appear to be teenagers, including some who appear to be under the age of 18. The Seized Binders also include photographs of what appear to be personal functions, events, and travel. 26. The compact discs seized by the Search Team and described in paragraphs 24(c)-(f) are currently stored within the Southern District of New York in containers marked for identification with FBI evidence numbers 15, 16, 17, 18, and 22 (the "Seized Discs"). 27. On or about July 7, 2019, the Honorable Barbara Moses, United States Magistrate Judge, signed a third search warrant to seize and search electronic media stored on the Seized Discs (the "Third Search Warrant"). The Third Search Warrant is attached as Exhibit E, and incorporated by reference herein. 28. Based on my conversations with law enforcement agents who have reviewed the Seized Discs pursuant to the Third Search Warrant (the "Reviewing Agents"), I have learned the following: a. The discs contain approximately thousands of nude or partially nude photographs of girls or young women, many of which are in sexually suggestive poses. Based on my conversations with the Reviewing Agents, who have particular training and experience relating to child erotica and visual depictions of children in child exploitation cases, I have learned that the Reviewing Agents believe that many of the nude or partially nude images they have reviewed appear to depict girls under the age of 18. Moreover, many of the photographs appear to be labeled with file names that suggest the photographs depict these girls at properties associated with JEFFREY EPSTEIN. For example, some file names are labeled "Zorro" or "LSJ." b. The discs also contained approximately hundreds of photographs of GHISLAINE MAXWELL. Some of those photographs included MAXWELL partially nude. Some of those 20 2017.08.02 EFTA00076731 photographs include MAXWELL clothed with other clothed females who appear to be approximately between the ages of 16 and 22. 29. Among the photographs on the Seized Discs, the Reviewing Agents identified partially-nude photographs of a young girl, labeled with an associated name that matched a particular individual ("Individual-1"). After identifying those photographs, the Government was advised by Individual-1's counsel that Individual-1 recalls the month and year during which she believes those partially-nude photographs were taken, and also the location where they were taken, and that she was 17 years old at the time. 30. Following the initiation of the FBI's review of the Seized Discs, on or about July II, 2019, the Honorable Henry B. Pitman, United States Magistrate Judge, signed another search warrant authorizing another search of the New York Residence and specifically authorizing the seizure and search of electronic devices and storage media inside the New York Residence for evidence of the Original Subject Offenses (the "Fourth Search Warrant"). The Fourth Search Warrant is attached as Exhibit F and incorporated by reference herein. 31. Later on July 11, 2019, the Search Team executed the Fourth Search Warrant at the New York Residence. Based on my conversations with members of the Search Team, I have learned the following, among other things, regarding the execution of the Fourth Search Warrant: a. During the July 11, 2019 execution of the Fourth Search Warrant inside the New York Residence, the Search Team found that the Safe described above was empty and, in particular, that the collection of discs and hard drives described in paragraphs 24(c)-(f), above, that the Search Team had not seized during its prior search of the New York Residence on July 7, 2019, had been removed. 21 2017.08.02 EFTA00076732 b. After discovering that the Safe was empty, the Search Team spoke with an employee who worked at the New York Residence (the "Employee"). During that conversation, the Employee told the Search Team that after the completion of the prior search on July 7, 2019, the Employee had been instructed by a third party ("the Third Party") to take the contents of the Safe out of the New York Residence and deliver those items to the Third Party. The Employee further told the Search Team that after receiving that instruction, the Employee packed the contents of the Safe into two suitcases and delivered those suitcases to the Third Party. The Employee provided the Search Team with the Third Party's contact information. c. The Search Team then contacted the Third Party. During the ensuing conversation, the Third Party confirmed receipt of two suitcases from the Employee but also told the Search Team that the Third Party had not opened the suitcases or touched or tampered with their contents. The Third Party also agreed to deliver the two suitcases to the Search Team. d. Later on July 11, 2019, and consistent with the conversation described above, the Third Party met the Search Team outside of the New York Residence and provided them with the two suitcases described above, one of which was blue and one of which was black. Consistent with standard law enforcement protocol, the Search Team conducted an inventory of both suitcases before taking custody of them. While taking an inventory of the blue suitcase, the Search Team discovered, among other items, Subject Device-3. These items, including Subject Item-3, appeared to be the same items observed in the Safe by the Search Team during the July 7, 2019 search of the New York Residence. 32. On or about July 14, 2019, the Honorable Kevin Nathaniel Fox, United States Magistrate Judge, signed a search warrant authorizing the search of Subject Device-1, Subject Device-2, and Subject Device-3 for evidence of the Original Subject Offenses (the "Fifth Search 22 2017.08.02 EFTA00076733 Warrant"). The Fifth Search Warrant is attached as Exhibit G and incorporated by reference herein. 33. Based on my personal participation in the searches of the New York Residence, as well as my conversations with other law enforcement agents who participated in those same searches, and my review of documents prepared by other law enforcement agents who participated in those same searches, I have learned that during the July 11, 2019 search of the New York Residence: a. Subject Device-4 was recovered from in a cardboard box along the right wall of a room on the first floor of the New York Residence, and has been assigned internal FBI barcode number E6515034. b.

Subject Device-35 was recovered from a desk in an oval study on the first floor of the New York Residence, and has been assigned internal FBI barcode number E6433828. Search of the Virgin Islands Residence 34. Based on my review of property records, I believe that JEFFREY EPSTEIN has been the owner of the Virgin Islands Residence since at least in or about 1998. In particular, it appears that an entity named "L.S.J., LLC" held title to the Virgin Islands Residence from in or about 1998. In or about 2011, L.S.J., LLC transferred title to the Virgin Islands Residence to an entity named "Nautilus, Inc.," for $10. On the transfer paperwork, EPSTEIN signed as the "sole member" of L.S.J., LLC and as the "president and sole beneficial owner" of Nautilus, Inc. 27 2017.08.02 EFTA00076738 35. In addition, I believe that up until his arrest, the Virgin Islands Residence was JEFFREY EPSTEIN's principal residence. In particular, I have reviewed sex offender registration data, and have learned that, on or about June 17, 2019, EPSTEIN listed the Virgin Islands Residence as his primary residence. At the time of EPSTEIN's arrest on or about July 6, 2019, I and other law enforcement officers conducted an inventory search of EPSTEIN's personal effects, and observed that EPSTEIN was carrying a driver's license that listed the Virgin Islands Residence as EPSTEIN's home address. 36. Based on my participation in this investigation, I have reason to believe that EPSTEIN and his co-conspirators committed and/or maintained evidence of the Original and Additional Subject Offences in and around the Virgin Islands Residence. Some of the evidence of that conduct was recovered from the New York Residence. In particular, as described above, compact discs seized from the New York Residence contain approximately thousands of nude or partially nude photographs of girls or young women, many of which are in sexually suggestive poses. Certain of these images appear to have been taken at a tropical location, and/or were labeled "LSJ" either in the image file name, or on the compact disc that contained the image. Based on the foregoing, I believe that a portion of the foregoing photographs appear to have been taken at the Virgin Islands Residence. In addition, I have learned that some of the file names are marked which are the initials of Target Subject of the ongoing investigation. As set forth below, I and other law enforcement agents have interviewed Individual-I,4 who has In or about November 2019, Individual-1 filed a civil lawsuit against EPSTEIN's estate seeking damages for the conduct described in this affidavit. Information provided by Individual-1 has been corroborated by independent evidence, including other witness statements and travel records, and has proven reliable. 28 2017.08.02 EFTA00076739 reported that ahotographed her at the Virgin Islands Residence. Accordingly, I believe that a portion of these photos may have been taken by 37. Further, based on my conversations with law enforcement agents who have conducted an initial review of the Seized Discs, I have learned the following: a. Many of the photographs appear to be labeled with file names that include "LSJ," which I believe stands for Little St. James, which is the name of the Virgin Islands Residence. b. As discussed above, photographs seized from the New York Residence appear to depict nude or partially nude young girls, and a portion of those photos appear to have been taken at the Virgin Islands Residence, based on the fact that (i) some of the photos appear to have been taken in a tropical location, and (ii) some of the file names of the photographs and/or the labels on the discs containing the files of nude or partially nude young girls in a tropical location are marked "LSJ," i.e., the Virgin Islands Residence. c. Among the photographs seized from the New York Residence, the Reviewing Agents identified partially-nude photographs of a young girl, labeled with the name of Individual- 1. The photographs appear to depict Individual-1 on a beach in what appears to be a tropical location similar to the landscape of the Virgin Islands Residence. 38. In or about August 2019, I participated in an interview of Individual-1, with her counsel present. Based on my personal observations, I believe that the photographs described in Paragraph 29 depict Individual-1. I have also spoken with another law enforcement agent who interviewed Individual-1 on a separate occasion in or about July 2019, with her counsel present. During the course of these interviews, Individual-1 stated, in sum an substance that she met EPSTEIN in 2003 when she was approximately 17, and that she travelled to several of EPSTEIN's properties, including properties in New Mexico, Florida, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, i.e., the 29 2017.08.02 EFTA00076740 Virgin Islands Residence, before she turned 18. EPSTEIN paid for the trips, and would give Individual-1 money and gifts while she traveled with him. During these trips, EPSTEIN sexually abused and assaulted Individual-1 on approximately four different occasions, all of which occurred before she turned 18. Individual-1 reported that EPSTEIN raped her during two of these incidents. Indivdual-1 recalled that one or more of these instances of sexual abuse occurred on the Virgin Islands Residence. Individual-1 further reported that, when she was approximately 17, asked to photograph her, and did in fact photograph Individual-1 at the Virgin Islands Residence. 39. In or about August 2019, I and another law enforcement officer interviewed an individual ("Individual-21 who regularly performed work for JEFFREY EPSTEIN as a contractor at the Virgin Islands Residence from approximately 1999 to 2005 or 2006. Individual-2 reported that, on several occasions, Individual-2 observed photographs of what appeared to be nude or partially nude young girls in several locations throughout the main residence of the Virgin Islands Residence. Individual-2 recalled a photograph depicting and two girls, all three of whom were topless; Individual-2 estimated that the two girls in the photograph appeared to be approximately 15 or 16 years old. Individual-2 knew =to be EPSTEIN's assistant at that time. 40. Based on my review of flight logs from a private jet owned by JEFFREY EPSTEIN, I have learned that traveled to the U.S. Virgin Islands at least approximately once a month between October 2001 and November of 2005. These records do not include any travel may have taken on commercial airlines. 30 2017.08.02 EFTA00076741 41. In or about October 2019, I and another law enforcement officer interviewed another individual ("Individual-3")5 who travelled at JEFFREY EPSTEIN's invitation to the Virgin Islands Residence on multiple occasions in or about 2006 and 2007 when Individual-3 was approximately 21 years old. Individual-3 reported that EPSTEIN sexually assaulted Individual-3 on multiple occasions at the Virgin Islands Residence. Individual-3 also reported that during at least some of her visits to the Virgin Islands Residence, GHISLAINE MAXWELL was present at the Virgin Islands Residence. On multiple occasions at the Virgin Islands residence, MAXWELL instructed Individual-3 and other young women to engage in sex acts with EPSTEIN. Among other things, MAXWELL provided Individual-3 and other young women with specific instructions regarding how to perform oral sex on EPSTEIN. MAXWELL told Individual-3 that Individual-3 was only at the Virgin Islands Residence to sexually please EPSTEIN. Individual-3 further reported that some of the sex acts she engaged in with EPSTEIN involved other females who appeared young and may have been under the age of 18, but whose age Individual-3 did not know. 42. Based on my review of flight logs from a private jet owned by JEFFREY EPSTEIN for the years 1998 through 2006, I have learned that GHISLAINE MAXWELL travelled to the U.S. Virgin Islands at least approximately four times in 1998, eleven times in 1999, five times in 2000, eight times in 2001, seven times in 2002, five times in 2003, two times in 2004, one time in 2005, and one time in 2006. These records do not include any travel MAXWELL may have taken on commercial airlines. 5 In or about August 2020, Individual-3 filed a civil lawsuit against EPSTEIN's estate seeking damages for the conduct described in this affidavit. Information provided by Individual-3 has been corroborated by independent evidence, including other witness statements and travel records, and has proven reliable. 31 2017.08.02 EFTA00076742 43. For all of these reasons, I am aware that d GHISLAINE Sri MAXWELL have both spent significant time at the Virgin Islands Residence, among JEFFREY EPSTEIN's various other properties, and that evidence of their involvement, and potentially the involvement of other co-conspirators, in the Subject Offenses may be located at the Virgin Islands Residence. In particular, flight logs from EPSTEIN's private jet reflect that the individual identified in the Indictment as "Employee-3" traveled to the U.S. Virgin Islands on approximately nine separate occasions. These records do not include any travel Employee-3 may have taken on commercial airlines. As set forth in the Indictment, Employee-3 scheduled victims' encounters with EPSTEIN. 44. On or about August 11, 2019, United States Magistrate Judge Ruth Miller of the District of the Virgin Islands signed a warrant authorizing the search of the Virgin Islands Residence for fruits, evidence and instrumentalities of the Original Subject Offenses (the "Sixth Search Warrant"). The Sixth Search Warrant is attached as Exhibit H, and incorporated by reference herein. The next day, other law enforcement agents and I executed the Virgin Islands Warrant at the Virgin Islands Residence. 45. Based on my personal participation in the August 12, 2019 search of the Virgin Islands Residence, as well as my conversations with other law enforcement agents who participated in that same search, and my review of documents prepared by other law enforcement agents who participated in that same search, I have learned that during the August 12, 2019 search of the Virgin Islands Residence: a. Subject Device-36 was recovered from a desk in the main residence on the island. b. Subject Device-37 was recovered from a desk in the main residence on the island. c. Subject Device-38 was recovered from a desk in the main residence on the island. 32 2017.08.02 EFTA00076743 d. Subject Device-49 was recovered from a desk in the main residence on the island. e. Subject Device-40 was recovered from a desk in the main residence on the island. f Subject Device-41 was recovered from a desk in the pool house on the island. g. Subject Device-42 was recovered from a desk in a cabana on the island. h. Subject Device-43 was recovered from a box on the floor near a desk in a shed on the island. i. Subject Device-44 was recovered from a desk in a shed on the island. j. Subject Device-45 was recovered from a desk in a cabana on the island. k. Subject Device-46 was recovered from a desk in a cabana on the island. 1. Subject Device-47 was recovered from a desk in the beach house on the island. m. Subject Device-48 was recovered from a desk in the beach house on the island. n. Subject Device-49 was recovered from a server rack inside a shed on the island. o. Subject Device-50 was recovered from a server rack inside a shed in on the island. p. Subject Device-51 was recovered from a shed on the island. q. Subject Device-52 was found on a server rack in a shed on the island. r. Subject Device-53 was found on a server rack in a shed on the island. s. Subject Device-54 was recovered from a desk in a cabana on the island. t. Subject Device-55 was recovered from the maintenance office on the island. u. Subject Device-56 was recovered from the maintenance office on the island. v. Subject Device-57 was recovered from the maintenance office on the island. w. Subject Device-58 was recovered the maintenance office on the island. x. Subject Device-59 was recovered the maintenance office on the island. 3/- Subject Device-60 was recovered the maintenance office on the island. 33 2017.08.02 EFTA00076744 z. Subject Device-61 was found on a server rack in a shed on the island. aa. Subject Device-62 was recovered on a file cabinet next to a desk in a cabana on the island. 46. On or about September 12, 2019, the Honorable James L. Cott, United States Magistrate Judge, signed a warrant authorizing the search of Subject Device-37 through Subject Device-63 for fruits, evidence, and instrumentalities of the Original Subject Offenses (the "Seventh Search Warrant"). The Seventh Search Warrant is attached as Exhibit I, and incorporated by reference herein. The Initial Search of the Subject Devices 47. I know from my personal involvement in this investigation, as well as my conversations with other law enforcement agents, that pursuant to the Fourth Search Warrant, the Fifth Search Warrant, and the Seventh Search Warrant—which, collectively, authorized the search of all of the Subject Devices for evidence of the Original Subject Offenses—the FBI has undertaken a multi-step process to review all of the data from all of the Subject Devices. First, the FBI extracted data from all of the Subject Devices. This process involved multiple months of work by technical specialists at the FBI to access the data on the devices and convert the data into a reviewable format. Second, at the request of attorneys for JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has conducted a privilege review of the extracted data as it has been received from the FBI. Third, as data has been cleared through the privilege review, it has then been reviewed by the case team. That review has involved both the examination of individual documents and the application of search terms for particular keywords through the data. 34 2017.08.02 EFTA00076745 48. I know from my personal involvement in this investigation, as well as my conversations with other law enforcement agents, that during the third stage of the above-described search process, the case team identified within the data extracted from the Subject Devices electronic communications that involve GHISLAINE MAXWELL as either a sender or recipient, but which do not include JEFFREY EPSTEIN as a sender or recipient. For example, I have reviewed the following communications contained in the data extracted from the Subject Devices: a. In an email sent to MAXWELL on or about February 7, 2004, an individual ("Individual-4") asked for details regarding the payments MAXWELL would provide to Individual-4 in exchange for Individual-4 identifying "beautiful, talented young women ... to train / work with" EPSTEIN. Individual-4 further noted, "i have a couple of girls in mind, so let me know what arrangement we will have, and i will do my best to help." Based on my training, experience, and participation in this investigation, I believe that in this email Individual-4 was discussing with MAXWELL the recruitment of young females to engage in sex acts with EPSTEIN. b. In an email sent to MAXWELL on or about August 16, 2002, an individual ("Individual-5") asked MAXWELL, "Have you found me some new inappropriate friends?" Based on my training, experience, and participation in this investigation, I believe that in this email Individual-5 was asking whether MAXWELL had found any young females to engage in sex acts with Individual-5. c. In an email sent to MAXWELL on or about February 28, 2002, Individual-5 discussed an upcoming trip that MAXWELL was helping to arrange for Individual-5. In that same email, Individual-5 wrote, "As for girls well I leave that entirely to you and [another individual]!" Based on my training, experience, and participation in this investigation, I believe that in this email 35 2017.08.02 EFTA00076746 Individual-5 was discussing MAXWELL's attempts to arrange for young females to engage in sex acts with Individual-5. d. In an email that MAXWELL sent to Individual-5 on March 3, 2002, MAXWELL informed Individual-5 that she was trying to arrange, "some 2 legged sight seeing (read intelligent pretty fun and from good families)" for Individual-5 on an upcoming trip. Based on my training, experience, and participation in this investigation, I believe that in this email MAXWELL was discussing her attempts to arrange for young females to engage in sex acts with Individual-5. 49. I further know from my personal involvement in this investigation, as well as my conversations with other law enforcement agents, that the ongoing investigation into JEFFREY EPSTEIN and his associates has revealed that on multiple occasions, and as recently as August 8, 2019, EPSTEIN changed his will to adjust bequests to his co-conspirators, including and GHISLAINE MAXWELL. Specifically, in February 2019, EPSTEIN's will bequeathed a $10,000,000 annuity to and forgave any loans EPSTEIN had made to EPSTEIN's February 2019 will did not mention MAXWELL. On August 8, 2019, EPSTEIN amended his February 2019 will to, among other things, change the bequests to and MAXWELL. In particular, the August 2019 will bequeathed $10,000,000 to MAXWELL and forgave any loans EPSTEIN had made to but no longer made any bequest toMMI 50. I further know from my personal involvement in this investigation that as the FBI's investigation continued, the case team uncovered new evidence regarding GHISLAINE MAXWELL's participation in the Additional Subject Offenses, some of which is detailed above. 51. In light of the MAXWELL communications observed in the data extracted from the Subject Devices, as well as the new evidence of MAXWELL's participation in the Subject 36 2017.08.02 EFTA00076747 Offenses obtained since EPSTEIN's death, I now seek, out of an abundance of caution, the requested warrant to broaden the scope of the search of the Subject Devices. In particular, and out of an abundance of caution, this application seeks to expand the scope of the search of the Subject Devices to include the Additional Subject Offenses, to specifically permit the search for documents relating to MAXWELL, and to permit a search of documents dated between the earliest known abuse of a minor victim in 1994 through Epstein's most recent revision of his will on August 8, 2019. B. Probable Cause Justifying Further Search of the Subject Devices for Evidence of the Additional Subject Offenses 52. Based on my training, experience, and participation in this investigation, I believe that there is probable cause that evidence of the Additional Subject Offenses, such as photographs of EPSTEIN's victims and co-conspirators and communications involving EPSTEIN's co- conspirators, including GHISLAINE MAXWELL and will be found on the Subject Devices. In particular, information provided by Individual-1, who traveled across state lines at EPSTEIN's invitation and with whom EPSTEIN engaged in sex acts at the Virgin Islands Residence while Individual-1 was a minor, confirms that EPSTEIN engaged in conduct relevant to the Additional Subject Offenses at the Virgin Islands Residence. Similarly, information provided by Minor Victim-1, who similarly traveled across state lines at EPSTEIN's invitation with whom EPSTEIN engaged in sex acts at the New York Residence, as well as information provided by the other victims identified in the Indictment, confirms that EPSTEIN engaged in conduct relevant to the Additional Subject Offenses at the New York Residence. In addition, photographs on the Seized Discs recovered during the search of the New York Residence depict other young and partially nude girls photographed at multiple locations, including the Virgin Islands Residence, which suggests that EPSTEIN brought some girls to the Virgin Islands 37 2017.08.02 EFTA00076748 Residence and that, consistent with the account provided by Individual-1 and other victims identified in the Indictment, EPSTEIN likely sexually abused them at the Virgin Islands Residence and maintained evidence of that abuse there on the Subject Devices, all of which would be relevant to the Additional Subject Offenses. Moreover, evidence of co-conspirators' presence at the New York Residence and/or the Virgin Islands Residence at times when victims were abused, including photographs, may also be found on the Subject Devices. Similarly, there is probable cause to believe that evidence of victims' and/or co-conspirators' travel arrangements, contact information, and communications, including those of and MAXWELL, will be located on the Subject Devices. 53. Moreover, though the sexual abuse described in the Indictment occurred principally between approximately 2002 and 2005, and although the abuse described by Minor Victim-1 occurred principally between 1994 and 1997, as evidence recovered from the New York Residence including the Seized Discs makes clear, EPSTEIN continued to maintain substantial evidence of the Original and Additional Subject Offenses up until the time he was arrested in 2019. Indeed, as described above, in addition to the Seized Discs, EPSTEIN continued to maintain a "massage room" complete with a massage table and various sex toys. Accordingly, there is probable cause to believe that the Subject Devices, which were seized from a residence where EPSTEIN and his co-conspirators committed the Additional Subject Offenses, will similarly contain evidence of the Additional Subject Offenses. 54. In addition, I believe that evidence of the Additional Subject Offenses may be located on the Subject Devices because (i) the Virgin Islands Residence was the location of multiple photo shoots of young girls; (ii) the Virgin Islands Residence appears to have been, for the last several years and up until the time of his arrest, EPSTEIN's primary residence; and (iii) 38 2017.08.02 EFTA00076749 given its location, the Virgin Islands Residence is JEFFREY EPSTEIN's most private residence. Therefore, given that EPSTEIN has maintained evidence of the Original and Additional Subject Offenses in the New York Residence, he is likely to have similarly maintained some of that evidence in the Subject Devices maintained at the Virgin Islands Residence. Moreover, given that there is probable cause to believe that JEFFREY EPSTEIN and others, including and GHISLAINE MAXWELL, conspired to commit the Original and Additional Subject Offenses, evidence of EPSTEIN's involvement in trafficking, enticing, and transporting minors would also be relevant to the investigation of, and any future charges against, other members of the conspiracy, such as and MAXWELL. 55. According to international flight records that I have reviewed, a private jet owned and utilized by EPSTEIN has traveled to or from the U.S. Virgin Islands at least on or about April 14, 2019; May 5, 2019; May 18, 2019; and June 11, 2019. Accordingly, there is probable cause to believe that EPSTEIN was present at the Virgin Islands Residence a short time before the recovery of the Subject Devices. 56. Based on my training and experience in investigating individuals who engage in sex trafficking, enticement, and transportation of minors, such individuals often maintain photographs of their victims, and/or other erotic images of minors, at their residences. Individuals who engage in such offenses often hoard such images in the privacy of their residences. In particular, data related to their illegal activity is often stored on their computers. 57. In my training and experience, individuals who store nude and/or sexually suggestive photographs of minors on compact discs or other external storage devices typically access those images from computers and other electronic devices in order to view those images, 39 2017.08.02 EFTA00076750 and individuals who store such materials on compact discs typically store similar files on other computing devices and storage devices. 58. Like individuals engaged in any other kind of activity, individuals who engage in sex trafficking, enticement, and transportation of minors store records relating to their illegal activity and to persons involved with them in that activity on electronic devices such as the Subject Device. Such records can include, for example, logs of online communications with co- conspirators; email correspondence; contact information of co-conspirators, including telephone numbers, email addresses, and identifiers for instant messaging and social medial accounts; travel records for victims and/or co-conspirators; payment records for victims and/or co-conspirators; and/or photographs of victims and/or co-conspirators. Individuals engaged in criminal activity often store such records in order to, among other things, (1 ) keep track of co-conspirator's contact information; (2) keep a record of illegal transactions for future reference; (3) remain in contact with co-conspirators and victims; (4) enable payment of co-conspirators and victims; and (4) store exploitative photographs for future sexual gratification. 59. Computer files or remnants of such files can be recovered months or even years after they have been created or saved on an electronic device such as the Subject Devices. Even when such files have been deleted, they can often be recovered, depending on how the hard drive has subsequently been used, months or years later with forensics tools. Thus, the ability to retrieve from information from the Subject Devices depends less on when the information was first created or saved than on a particular user's device configuration, storage capacity, and computer habits. 60. Based on the foregoing, I respectfully submit there is probable cause to believe that evidence of the Target Subjects' commission of the Additional Subject Offenses is likely to be found on the Subject Devices. 40 2017.08.02 EFTA00076751 III. Procedures for Searching ESI A. Review of ESI 61. Law enforcement personnel (who may include, in addition to law enforcement officers and agents, attorneys for the government, attorney support staff, agency personnel assisting the government in this investigation, and outside technical experts under government control) will review the ESI contained on the Subject Device for information responsive to the warrant. 62. In conducting this review, law enforcement may use various techniques to determine which files or other ESI contain evidence or fruits of the Subject Offenses. Such techniques may include, for example: • surveying directories or folders and the individual files they contain (analogous to looking at the outside of a file cabinet for the markings it contains and opening a drawer believed to contain pertinent files); • conducting a file-by-file review by "opening" or reading the first few "pages" of such files in order to determine their precise contents (analogous to performing a cursory examination of each document in a file cabinet to determine its relevance); • "scanning" storage areas to discover and possibly recover recently deleted data; scanning storage areas for deliberately hidden files; and • performing electronic keyword searches through all electronic storage areas to determine the existence and location of search terms related to the subject matter of the investigation. (Keyword searches alone are typically inadequate to detect all information subject to seizure. For one thing, keyword searches work only for text data, yet many types of files, such as images and videos, do not store data as searchable text. Moreover, even as to text data, there may be information properly subject to seizure but that is not captured by a keyword search because the information does not contain the keywords being searched.) 63. Law enforcement personnel will make reasonable efforts to restrict their search to data falling within the categories of evidence specified in the warrant. Depending on the circumstances, however, law enforcement may need to conduct a complete review of all the ESI from the Subject Device to locate all data responsive to the warrant. 41 2017.08.02 EFTA00076752 B. Return of the Subject Devices 64. If the Government determines that the Subject Devices are no longer necessary to retrieve and preserve the data on the device, and that the Subject Devices are not subject to seizure pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(c), the Government will return the Subject Device, upon request. Computer data that is encrypted or unreadable will not be returned unless law enforcement personnel have determined that the data is not (i) an instrumentality of the offense, (ii) a fruit of the criminal activity, (iii) contraband, (iv) otherwise unlawfully possessed, or (v) evidence of the Subject Offenses. IV. Conclusion and Ancillary Provisions 65. Based on the foregoing, I respectfully request the court to issue a warrant to seize the items and information specified in Attachment A to this affidavit and to the Search and Seizure Warrant. 66. In light of the confidential nature of the continuing investigation, I respectfully request that this affidavit and all papers submitted herewith be maintained under seal until the Court orders otherwise. sworn via telephone Task Force Officer Federal Bureau of Investigation Sworn to before me on June 26, 2020 at 9:11 am 80 to orttio le;"" HON.

STATES OF AMERICA JEFFREY EPSTEIN, Defendant. SEALED INDICTMENT 19 Cr. 1 9 UN 490 x COUNT ONE (Sex Trafficking Conspiracy) The Grand Jury charges: OVERVIEW 1. As set forth herein, over the course of many years, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his homes in Manhattan, New York, and Palm Beach, Florida, among other locations. 2. In particular, from at least in or about 2002, up to and including at least in or about 2005, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, enticed and recruited, and caused to be enticed and recruited, minor girls to visit his mansion in Manhattan, New York (the "New York Residence") and his estate in Palm Beach, Florida (the "Palm Beach Residence") to engage in sex acts with him, after which he would give the victims hundreds of dollars in cash. Moreover, and in order to maintain and increase his supply of victims, EPSTEIN also paid certain of his victims to recruit additional girls to be similarly abused by EPSTEIN. In EFTA00076762 this way, EPSTEIN created a vast network of underage victims for him to sexually exploit in locations including New York and Palm Beach. 3. The victims described herein were as young as 14 years old at the time they were abused by JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, and were, for various reasons, often particularly vulnerable to exploitation. EPSTEIN intentionally sought out minors and knew that many of his victims were in fact under the age of 18, including because, in some instances, minor victims expressly told him their age. 4. In creating and maintaining this network of minor victims in multiple states to sexually abuse and exploit, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, worked and conspired with others, including employees and associates who facilitated his conduct by, among other things, contacting victims and scheduling their sexual encounters with EPSTEIN at the New York Residence and at the Palm Beach Residence. FACTUAL BACKGROUND 5. During all time periods charged in this Indictment, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, was a financier with multiple residences in the continental United States, including the New York Residence and the Palm Beach Residence. 6. Beginning in at least 2002, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, enticed and recruited, and caused to be enticed and 2 EFTA00076763 recruited, dozens of minor girls to engage in sex acts with him, after which EPSTEIN paid the victims hundreds of dollars in cash, at the New York Residence and the Palm Beach Residence. 7. In both New York and Florida, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, perpetuated this abuse in similar ways. Victims were initially recruited to provide "massages" to EPSTEIN, which would be performed nude or partially nude, would become increasingly sexual in nature, and would typically include one or more sex acts. EPSTEIN paid his victims hundreds of dollars in cash for each encounter. Moreover, EPSTEIN actively encouraged certain of his victims to recruit additional girls to be similarly sexually abused. EPSTEIN incentivized his victims to become recruiters by paying these victim-recruiters hundreds of dollars for each girl that they brought to EPSTEIN. In so doing, EPSTEIN maintained a steady supply of new victims to exploit. The New York Residence 8. At all times relevant to this Indictment, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, possessed and controlled a multi-story private residence on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, i.e., the New York Residence. Between at least in or about 2002 and in or about 2005, EPSTEIN abused numerous minor victims at the New York Residence by causing these victims to be recruited to engage in paid sex acts with him. 3 EFTA00076764 9. When a victim arrived at the New York Residence, she typically would be escorted to a room with a massage table, where she would perform a massage on JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant. The victims, who were as young as 14 years of age, were told by EPSTEIN or other individuals to partially or fully undress before beginning the "massage." During the encounter, EPSTEIN would escalate the nature and scope of physical contact with his victim to include, among other things, sex acts such as groping and direct and indirect contact with the victim's genitals. EPSTEIN typically would also masturbate during these sexualized encounters, ask victims to touch him while he masturbated, and touch victims' genitals with his hands or with sex toys. 10. In connection with each sexual encounter, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, or one of his employees or associates, paid the victim in cash. Victims typically were paid hundreds of dollars in cash for each encounter. 11. JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, knew that many of his New York victims were underage, including because certain victims told him their age. Further, once these minor victims were recruited, many were abused by EPSTEIN on multiple subsequent occasions at the New York Residence. EPSTEIN sometimes personally contacted victims to schedule appointments at the New York Residence. In other instances, EPSTEIN directed 4 EFTA00076765 employees and associates, including a New York-based employee ("Employee-1"), to communicate with victims via phone to arrange for these victims to return to the New York Residence for additional sexual encounters with EPSTEIN. 12. Additionally, and to further facilitate his ability to abuse minor girls in New York, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, asked and enticed certain of his victims to recruit additional girls to perform "massages" and similarly engage in sex acts with EPSTEIN. When a victim would recruit another girl for EPSTEIN, he paid both the victim-recruiter and the new victim hundreds of dollars in cash. Through these victim- recruiters, EPSTEIN gained access to and was able to abuse dozens of additional minor girls. 13. In particular, certain recruiters brought dozens of additional minor girls to the New York Residence to give massages to and engage in sex acts with JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant. EPSTEIN encouraged victims to recruit additional girls by offering to pay these victim-recruiters for every additional girl they brought to EPSTEIN. When a victim- recruiter accompanied a new minor victim to the New York Residence, both the victim-recruiter and the new minor victim were paid hundreds of dollars by EPSTEIN for each encounter. In addition, certain victim-recruiters routinely scheduled these 5 EFTA00076766 encounters through Employee-1, who sometimes asked the recruiters to bring a specific minor girl for EPSTEIN. The Palm Beach Residence 14. In addition to recruiting and abusing minor girls in New York, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, created a similar network of minor girls to victimize in Palm Beach, Florida, where EPSTEIN owned, possessed and controlled another large residence, i.e., the Palm Beach Residence.
