PLEA AGREEMENT
The United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida ("the United
States"), and Jeffrey Epstein (hereinafter referred to as the "defendant") enter into the
following agreement:
1.
The defendant agrees to plead guilty to the Information which charges the
defendant with two counts of knowingly and intentionally violating the privacy protection
accorded to child victims by 18 U.S.C. § 3509; in violation of Title 18, United States
Code, Section 403.
2.
The defendant is aware that the sentence will be imposed by the Court after
considering the Federal Sentencing Guidelines and Policy Statements (hereinafter
"Sentencing Guidelines"). The defendant acknowledges and understands that the Court
will compute an advisory sentence under the Sentencing Guidelines and that the
applicable guidelines will be determined by the Court relying in part on the results of a
Pre-Sentence Investigation by the Court's probation office, which investigation will
commence after the guilty plea has been entered. The defendant is also aware that, under

EFTA00194605
certain circumstances, the Court may depart from the advisory sentencing guideline range
that it has computed, and may raise or lower that advisory sentence under the Sentencing
Guidelines. The defendant is further aware and understands that the Court is required to
consider the advisory guideline range determined under the Sentencing Guidelines, but is
not bound to impose that sentence; the Court is permitted to tailor the ultimate sentence in
light of other statutory concerns, and such sentence may be either more severe or less
severe than the Sentencing Guidelines' advisory sentence. Knowing these facts, the
defendant understands and acknowledges that the Court has the authority to impose any
sentence within and up to the statutory maximum authorized by law for the offenses
identified in paragraph 1 and that the defendant may not withdraw the plea solely as a
result of the sentence imposed.
3.
The defendant further understands and acknowledges that, as to each of
Counts 1 and 2 of the Information, the Court may impose a statutory maximum term of
imprisonment of up to one (1) year, to be followed by a term of supervised release of up
to a maximum of one (1) year. In addition to terms of imprisonment and supervised
release, the Court may impose a fine of up to $100,000 as to each count.
4.
The defendant further understands and acknowledges that, in addition to
any sentence imposed under paragraph 3 of this Agreement, a special assessment in the
amount of $50 will be imposed on the defendant, which must be paid at or before the
time of sentencing.
5.
The defendant understands that the Court will order that he must pay full
restitution to all victims of the offense to which he is pleading guilty. The defendant
understands that the amount of restitution owed to each victim will be determined at or
before sentencing.
6.
The defendant agrees that, if any of the victims identified in the federal
investigation file suit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255, the defendant will not contest the
2
EFTA00194606
jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida over his person and/or
the subject matter, and the defendant will not contest that the identified victims are persons who,
while minors, were victims of violations of Title 18, United States Code, Sections(s) 2422 and/or
2423. The. United States agrees to provide the defendant's attorneys with a list of the identified
victims, which will not exceed forty, after the defendant has signed this agreement and has been
sentenced. The United States further agrees to make a motion with the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Florida for the appointment of a guardian ad litem for the
identified victims and the defendant's counsel may contact the identified victims through that
guardian.
7.
The defendant agrees to plead guilty (not nolo contendere) to an Information
filed by the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office charging an offense for which the
defendant must register as a sex offender, that is, solicitation of minors to engage in prostitution,
in violation of Fl. Stat. 796.03. The defendant and the Palm Beach County State Attorney's
Office shall make a joint, binding recommendation that the Court impose a sentence of at least
thirty (30) months, to be divided as follows:
(a)
the defendant shall begin by serving at least twenty (20) months in prison,
without any opportunity for withholding adjudication or sentencing, and
without probation or community control in lieu of imprisonment; and
(b)
following the term of imprisonment, the defendant shall serve ten (10)
months of community control/home confinement with electronic
monitoring.
8.
The defendant shall waive all challenges to the Information filed by the State
Attorney's Office and shall waive the right to appeal his conviction and sentence in the state
court.
9.
The defendant shall provide to the U.S. Attorney's Office copies of all proposed
EFTA00194607
agreements with the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office prior to entering into those
agreements.
10.
The United States reserves the right to inform the Court and the probation
office of all facts pertinent to the sentencing process, including all relevant information
concerning the offenses committed, whether charged or not, as well as concerning the
defendant and the defendant's background, and to respond to any questions from the
Court and the Probation Office and to any misstatements of fact or law. Subject only to
the express terms of any agreed-upon sentencing recommendations contained in this
Agreement, this Office further reserves the right to make any recommendation as to the
quality and quantity of punishment.
11.
The defendant is aware that the sentence has not yet been determined by the
Court. The defendant also is aware that any estimate of the probable sentencing range or
sentence that the defendant may receive, whether that estimate comes from the
defendant's attorney, the government, or the probation office, is a prediction, not a
promise, and is not binding on the government, the probation office or the Court. The
defendant understands further that any recommendation that the government makes to the
Court as to sentencing, whether pursuant to this agreement or otherwise, is not binding on
the Court and the Court may disregard the recommendation in its entirety. The defendant
understands and acknowledges, as previously acknowledged in paragraph 2 above, that
the defendant may not withdraw his plea based upon the Court's decision not to accept a
sentencing recommendation made by the defendant, the government, or a
recommendation made jointly by both the defendant and the government.
12.
ATTACK THE SENTENCE. The defendant is aware that Title 18, United States Code,
Section 3742 affords the defendant the right to appeal the sentence imposed in this case.
Acknowledging this, in exchange for the undertakings made by the United States in this
4
EFTA00194608
plea agreement, the defendant hereby waives all rights conferred by Section 3742 to
appeal any sentence imposed, including any restitution order, or to appeal the manner in
which the sentence was imposed, unless the sentence exceeds the maximum permitted by
statute or is the result of an upward departure or upward variance from the guideline
range that the Court establishes at sentencing. The defendant further voluntarily and
expressly waives, to the maximum extent permitted by federal law, the right to
collaterally attack his sentence in any post-
conviction proceeding, including a motion on any ground brought under 28 U.S.C. §
2254, 28 U.S.C. § 2255, 18 U.S.C. § 3572, or 18 U.S.C. § 3771. The defendant further
understands that nothing in this agreement shall affect the government's right and/or duty
to appeal as set forth in Tide 18, United States Code, Section 3742(b). However, if the
United States appeals the defendant's sentence pursuant to Section 3742(b), the defendant
shall be released from the above waiver of appellate rights. By signing this agreement,
the defendant acknowledges that he has discussed the appeal waiver set forth in this
agreement with his attorney.
13.
If the defendant fails in any way to fulfill each one of his obligations under
this Plea Agreement, the United States, and only the United States, may elect to be
released from its commitments under this Plea Agreement. If the United States elects to
void the Plea Agreement because of a breach by the defendant, then the United States
agrees not to use the defendant's guilty plea against him. However, the United States
may prosecute the defendant for any and all Federal crimes that he has committed related
to this case and may seek any sentence for such crimes up to and including the statutory
maximums. The defendant expressly waives any statute of limitations defense and any
constitutional or statutory speedy trial defense to such a prosecution, except to the extent
that such a defense exists as of the date he signs this Plea Agreement. Finally, the
defendant understands that his violation of the terms of this Plea Agreement would not
EFTA00194609
entitle him to withdraw his guilty plea.
