Summary

From: To: "'Jay Lefkowitz" Subject: RE: Draft Agreements? Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 16:43:36 +0000 Importance: Normal Hi Jay — It looks like I will be here all afternoon, but earlier is better than later. There are a number of issues with your version, but one that you can look at before our call is the calculation of the guidelines on the 1512(d) counts. The cross-reference to 2X3.I applies, which then takes us to 2G1.3. Giving Mr. Epstein the benefit of the doubt (that they would treat this as though there were only one victim), he would have a base offense level of 24, plus 2 for a commercial sex act, totaling 26. Returning to 2X3.1, we would subtract 6 levels and subtract another 3 levels for acceptance for a total offense level of 17. With criminal history category of I, that results in 24 to 30 months, which is in Zone D. From: To it PM To: Subject: RE: Draft Agreements? - are you free for a call this afternoon? what time works best for you? Thanks — Jay 09/18/200

Hi Jay — I know that the U.S. Attorney will not go below 18 months of prison. jail time (and 1 would strongly oppose the suggestion). From: Jay Lefkowitz Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2007 8:59 AM EFTA00215250 To: Subject: Re: Draft Agreements? an alternative to what we discussed just now might be to plead to one count of 1512, serve 12 months plus supervised release which would be one year of home detention (if we can make that work), followed by two years of probation in the state on the state charges with the first 6 months being community control. 09/1812007 08:44 AM To 'Jay Lefkowitf cc Subject Draft Agreements? Hi Jay — I was hoping there would be things for me to read this morning, but I will try to remain patient. I believe there are only two types of agreements that would apply to this case: (1) a plea agreement to a federal charge or charges; and (2) a non-prosecution agreement (which is really a deferred prosecution agreement because the defendant agrees that if he violates the agreement, the U.S. can prosecute him). A plea agreement is part of the court file. It is not accessible on-line via PACER, but someone can go to the Clerk's Office to obtain a copy. A non-prosecution agreement would not be made public or filed with the Court, but it would remain part of our case file. It probably would be subject to a FOIA request, but it is not something that we would distribute without compulsory process. On the obstruction charges, many of the facts I included in that first proffer were hypothesized based upon our discussions and the agents' observations of We will need to interview her to confirm the accuracy of those facts. On a second count, we could rely on the incident where Mr. Epstein's private investigators followed father, forcing him off the road. Or, if there is something more recent related to any grand jury subpoenas, we could consider that. Hope that helps. EFTA00215251
