Jack Goldberger on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein.
We have tried to cooperate in setting this
deposition; we want it to be a meaningful
4
deposition for you. For the first question to be a
question that serves no other purpose other than
embarrass Mr. Epstein is just totally unethical,
7
it's improper and it really irritates me. We gave
8
you a warning where we said don't do that again,

Spencer, and you continued to do it.

I agree with Mr. Pike that the deposition is
11
terminated at this point. If we want to go to

ask, I guess, what you would consider more

non-sexual questions, even though this is a sexual

Plaintiff,

and
Defendants.

)
BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally appeared Jack A.
Goldberger, Esq. having personal knowledge and being duly sworn, deposes and
says:
1.
I am co-counsel for Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, in this and other
pending matters involving Mr. Epstein.
2.
I am becoming increasingly concerned about my client's ability to
receive a fair trial with the recent press coverage of these cases.
3.
Mr. Kuvin specifically told me prior to a hearing at the Palm Beach
County Courthouse concerning Mr. Epstein that:
a)
He knew that he did not expect to make much money in this
case.
Page - 1 -
CT
EFTA00726547
b)
He was a young lawyer, he knew he needed to market
himself and get as much publicity for himself and his firm as
possible.
c)
He pointed out that his firm has an advertising plan to market
to other lawyers;
d)
The Epstein case was another marketing method for himself
and his firm.
4.
In particular, Mr. Kuvin had to have given a copy of Mr. Epstein's
video deposition to The Palm Beach Post in this matter and the abbreviated
deposition ended up on the internet.
5.
The decision to terminate/adjourn the deposition and seek relief
from the court was made by the attorneys, Michael Pike and me, not Mr. Epstein.
Mr. Epstein followed our legal advice.
6.
As the Court knows, Defendant and his attorneys must defend
against an "anonymous" Plaintiff, yet the Plaintiffs attorneys including Mr. Kuvin,
apparently intend to fry this case in the press to prejudice Mr. Epstein's right to a
fair trial.

Epstein Plea Bargain Unsealed
Comments 0 I Recommend 0
September 18, 2009 6:11 PM
Al Pefley
By all accounts, it was a sweet deal that Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein struck with the feds.
One that most of us probably wouldn't have gotten.
He pleaded guilty to engaging in sex with teenage girls and got very little time in the county jail. Not
even prison.
Epstein's lawyers kept the details of the deal sealed until today.
We just got our hands on the 11 page plea deal that Jeffrey Epstein reached with federal prosecutors in
2007.
An attorney for some of the teenage girls who were Epstein's victims calls this plea deal "atrocious" and
he says "it's an embarrassment to the U.S. Attorney's office." Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein could've gone to
prison for life.
Instead, he got just 18 months.
Police say he had teenage girls coming to his Palm Beach home to give him massages and also perform
sex acts on him.
One attorney for some of the girls says Epstein victimized at least 33 teenage girls.

"He could've faced at least 33 life sentences had he been convicted under these charges," said Spencer
Kuvin, with the law firm Leopold-Kuvin in Palm Beach Gardens.
But instead, Epstein spent little time behind bars under a secret plea deal with federal prosecutors.
"It's extremely unfair, extremely unfair to the 33 girls because it essentially brushes them aside as
though nothing happened to them and it wasn't a big deal," Kuvin said.
The secret plea bargain has just been made public and it reveals Epstein agreed to pay for an attorney to
represent all the victims who came to his home for sex acts.
In addition, if any of the girls decides to
him for damages, Epstein gave up his right to contest the
amount of money they could collect up to 50-thousand dollars.
Also, the plea deal specifies if Epstein successfully meets the house arrest an
milli
deal,
the government won't charge four women in the case, including his girlfriend
, N ho
brought the teenage girls to him.
"There is no other person, no other person who would've gotten such a sweetheart deal had they not
been as wealthy and as powerful as Jeffrey Epstein," Kuvin said.
The U.S. Attorney's office in Miami declined to comment on the plea deal.
In a written statement, Epstein's defense attorney says: "He is looking forward to putting this difficult
period of his life behind him."

Court: Epstein
agreement
stays sealed
By WILLIAM KELLY
Daily News Staff Writer
The Fourth District Court of Appeal has
agreed to Jeffrey Epstein's request to halt
the impending release of his non-prosecu-
tion agreement with the federal govern-
ment.
Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath had or-
dered the release of the documents at noon
today. The documents were sealed in state
court last year when Epstein, a convict-
ed sex offender and billionaire financier,
pleaded guilty to two felony charges. Col-
brath ruled proper procedures weren't fol-
lowed in sealing the documents.
Now the decision whether to make them

public is in the hands of the
appellate court, which has
given attorneys on both
sides of the case a total of
20 days to present their ar-
guments.
Epstein's appellate law-
yer, Jane Kreusler-Walsh,
made an emergency re-
quest Wednesday that the
appellate court annul the
lower court order, saying
release of the agreement
would cause irreparable
harm to her client.
Attorneys for women
suing Epstein, and a law-
yet for The Palm Beach Post,
have argued that the public
and media should have ac-
cess to the information and
that the victims should be
able to use it in their law-
suits.
Kreusler-Walsh would
not comment on the Fourth
District's order.
But Spencer Kuvin, a
lawyer for one of the vic-
tims, called the decision
"frustrating."
"The rules shouldn't
be different for rich peo-
ple than they are for poor
people," Kuvin said. 'Had
Epstein been a regular cit-
izen, and not a billionaire,
this document would have
been made public a long
time ago.'
Epstein pleaded guilty
to solicitation of prostitu-
tion and procuring teenag-
ers for prostitution. He was
sentenced to 18 months in-
carceration, but is due to
get out five months early,
on July 22.
State and federal au-
thorities said Epstein paid
teenage girls for massages
and sometimes sex at his
Palm Beach home.

Oter dropping a federal suit

Mtn Beath Post Ste Writer
WEST PALM BEACH - A former Palm
Beach Community College student who
police say procured underage girls to give
Jeffrey Epstein sexual massages at his Palm
Beach mansion, and EpsteinS personal assis-
tant have been sued along with Epstein over
their alleged conduct.
The girl behind the lawsuit was 14 years
old when she contends he engaged in sexual
conduct with her after she went to his water
front home in 2005 to give him a massage.
Her lawsuit, filed under the name Jane Doe,
seeks unspecified damages from Epstein for
sexual assault and intentional infliction of
emotional distress.

She also sued
Loxahatchee and
City on grounds o conspiracy and civil rack-
eteering.

Jane Doe, through her
father and stepmother: filed
a federal lawsuit against
Epstein in January. She dis-

Epstein
about the litigation and
sought to intervene. The
mother is acting on her daughter's behalf in
the latest lawsuit.

legations, and said her family is simply at-

legations to those of the first Jane Doe. Those
cases remain active.
Also pending against Epstein in state court
is a felony change of solicitation of prostitu-

No monitoring device for Epstein
'Difficult part in his life is ending,' says attorney for sex
offender released from jail. Victims say sentence too short.
By MICHELE DARGAN
Daily News Staff Wilier
Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Ep-
stein, released from jail shortly after 6
a.m. Wednesday, will not be tracked
by an electronic monitoring device
during his one-year probation, ac-
cording to a court order.
Epstein, who served less than 13
months of his 18-month sentence at
the Palm Beach County Stockade,
will serve one year of probation at his
El Brillo Way home. He already has
registered as a sex offender.
In addition, Epstein, who has been
out of jail on work release for 16 hours
a day, six days a week since October,
has been going to his Palm Beach
home as well as his West Palm Beach
office for the past two weeks.
His attorney Jack Goldberger, as
well as Palm Beach County Sheriffs
Office records confirm that Epstein
has been to his home on several occa-
sions. Goldberger said Epstein was giv-
en PESO permission to be at home for
specific time periods in order to make
the transition from Jail to his home.
The plea agreement stipulated that
Epstein, a billionaire financier, would
not be placed on electronic monitor-
ing, Goldberger said. An earlier court
order incorrectly had him listed as
having to be monitored.
"A very difficult part in his life is
ending, and he is looking forward to
moving on," Goldberger said.

curing a minor for prostitution and so-

itching prostitution.
More than a dozen young
women, who were minors at the
time of their encounters, are suing
Epstein for sexual abuse. Among
them: Jane Doe No. 3 and Jane Doe
Na 5, who both say they fear Ep-
stein and believe he should have
gotten a much harsher sentence.
Both women have filed federal
lawsuits.
Doe No. 3, who was 16 at the
time of her encounter with Ep-
stein, said she was shocked to
learn Sunday that the Palm Beach
resident was getting out of jail
early. She said she also didn't find
out he was on work release until
months after the fact.
'I'm afraid of seeing him'
"I'm scared to go to Palm

'It's really upsetting to me,"
she said. "I'm scared. He's such a
powerful man, and I don't know
what he's capable of. I would have
liked to see him get a longer jail
term. He just got a slap on the wrist
and what he has done to all of us is
never going to leave us."
She said that she gets upset
when she hears people accuse
the victims of being all about the
money.
"Ws about getting justice,' she
said. 'He's acting like he's the vic-

flashbacks. I thought it was all my
fault for a long time and that's the
way he wanted me to feel:
