While in the home I observed the pink and green couch within the master bedroom area just as the girls previously mentioned. The stairway, which is located from the kitchen area to the master bedroom area, is lined with photos of naked young girls. Additionally, numerous photographs of naked young females, some of which appeared to be the girls I previously interviewed, were on display throughout the house.

Several massage tables were located throughout the second floor of the residence, including a mactoge table found in Epstein's bedroom. On the first floor of the residence I found two covert cameras hidden within clocks. One was located in the garage and the other located in the library area on a shelf behind Epstein's desk.

During the course of the investigation, several subjects were identified as a potential witness/victim through information obtained during the trash pulls, physical surveillance and telephone message books retrieved from the search warrant. While conducting research on the subjects, I discovered that the females were age eighteen or older. Interviews were conducted on the consenting adults whose statements provided the same massage routine when they went to "work" for Epstein. The females would be notified by and made appointments for the females to "work" for Epstein. The females would come to Epstein's house and were led upstairs, through a stairwell from the kitchen area, by= to Epstein's bedroom. Epstein would then enter the room wearing only a towel, and ask them to get comfortable.

When asked how young, Mr. stated they appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years of age at the most. The massages would occur in Epstein's bedroom or bathroom: He knew this because he often set up the massage tables. I asked if there were things going on other than a massage. stated that there were times towards the end of his employment that he would have to wash off a massager/vibrator and a long rubber penis, which were in the sink after the massage.

During a sworn taped statement, Mr. Rodriguez stated he was employed by Jeffrey Epstein for approximately six months, from November 2004 through May of 2005. His responsibilities as house manager included being the butler, chauffeur, chef, houseman, run errands for Epstein and provide for Epstein's guests. I asked Rodriguez about masseuses coining to the house. Rodriguez stated Epstein would have two massages a day. Epstein would have one massage in the morning and one massage in the afternoon everyday he was in residence. Rodriguez stated he would be informed to expect someone and make them comfortable until either or Epstein would meet with them. Rodriguez stated once the masseuses would arrive, he would allow them entry into the kitchen area and offer them something to drink or eat. They would then be encountered by either or Epstein. They would be taken upstairs to provide the massage. I asked Rodriguez if any of the masseuses appeared young in age. Rodriguez stated the girls that would come appeared to be too young to be masseuses. He stated one time under Epstein's direction, he delivered a dozen roses to for one of the girls that came to provide a massage. He knew the girls were still in high school and were of high school age. I asked Rodriguez about the massages. He felt there was a lot more going on than just massages. He would often clean Mr. Epstein's bedroom after the alleged massages and would discover massagers/vibrators and sex toys scattered on the floor. He also said he would wipe down the vibrators and sex toys and put them away in an armoire. He described the armoire as a small wood armoire which was on the wall close to Epstein's bed. On one occasion Epstein ordered Rodriguez to go to the Dollar rent a car and rent a car for the same girl he brought the roses to, so that she could drive her self to Epstein's house without incident. Rodriguez said the girl always needed rides to and from the house. Rodriguez produced a green folder which contained documents, and a note with Mr. Epstein's stationary with direction to deliver a bucket of roses t after. high school drama performance. Also in that same note was direction to rent a car for and direction to extend the rental contract.

But when Ep- stein was given a polygraph test, "he passed on knowl- edge of age,' the attorney said. After the indictment against Epstein was unsealed this week, Police Chief Reiter referred the matter to the FBL We've received the re- ferret and we're reviewing it," said FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuda in Miami. The chief himself has cane under attack from Ep- stein's lawyers and friends in New York where he has a home. The New York Post quoted ein's prominent New York lawyer.

'People are surprised at the grand jury proceeding" West Palm Beach defense attorney Richard Tendler said. "It's a way for the pros- ecutor's office to not take the full responsibility for not fil- ing the (charge), and not do- ing what the Palm Beach Po- lice Department wanted.

And they were girls. Elsa Cramer 14. 15. 16. 17-yeareld girls. That should count for some- thing — the dif- ference between prostitution and pedophilla. So, it is baffling that Mr. Epstein, who was indicted last month by a grand jury on one felony count of solicitation of pros- titution, has not been charged, as Palm Beach police strenuously urged, with unlawful sex acts with a minor and lewd and lascivious molestation. Conviction of crimes against mi- nors would mean steeper penalties than the maximum five year prison term Mr. Epstein faces if convicted of the single count of felony solicita- tion. It also would help carry a mes- sage of intolerance to perverts who prey on girls. Prosecutors did not pursue charg- es against Mr. Epstein reflecting the age of the victims because they assumed a jury would view the girls not as victims but as promiscuous, untrustworthy, willing participants. The presumption is offensive. Mt Epstein, a 53-year-old Man- hattan money manager who has hired Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz and defense attor- ney Jack Goldberger, has denied knowing how old the girls were. Jury should have decided if pstein is a pedophile. But police interviews with five alleged victims and 17 witnesses under oath, as well as phone mes- sages, a high school transcript and other items that police found from searching Mr Epsteint trash and 7,234-square-foot waterfront home, provide evidence that he knew the girls were teenagers. One girl couldn't show up when ME Epstein wanted because she had soccer. Mother time, Mr. Ep- stein had to wait for his "massage" session because the girl he wanted was still in class. Why didn't State Attorney Barry Krischer let a jury decide whether to believe the teenagers — in- cluding a 16-year-old who went to Mr. Epstein's house to "woric" in December 2004 alter being asked whether she needed to make money for Christmas gifts? Prosecutors gave greater weight to the details Mr. Dershowitz pro- vided about the girls In an apparent effort to assail their character Mt Dershowitz pointed out to prosecu- tors that some of the teenagers had talked on myspace.00m about mari- juana and alcohol use. The 20-year-old Royal Palm Beach woman who told police she recruited girls for Mr. Epstein has a Web page on myspace.com that features one girl using the name "Pimpin' Made El" Although no charges of witness tampering have been filed, the par- ents of at least one of the teenage victims complained to police of be- ing followed and intimidated by two men. Police determined that their vehicles were registered to two pri- vate investigators. Mr. Goldberger denied knowing anything about it Police also note in their reports that the state attorney's office of- fered Mr. Epstein a plea deal that would have placed him on proba- tion for five years, allowing him ultimately to walk away with no criminal record at all. I asked Mr. Krischer's spokes- man, Mike Edmonton, why the case was referred to a grand jury in- • stead of Mr. Epstein being charged and facing a trial before a jury And shouldn't the victims credibility be a factor to determine whether a crimes been committed, not wheth- er a jury will convict? (After all, as Mt Goldberger told The Palm Beach Post of Mt Epstein, "Ha never de- nied girls came to the house.") Especially, I asked Mt Edmond- son to explain: Why shouldn't the public look at this case and think there are two kinds of justice — one for the wealthy and one for the rest of us? Mr. Edmondson said he could not comment on the case because it is active, but on the latter point, he offered, for the sake of "philosophi- cal debate": "Whether wealth buys a different standard of justice across the country ... the answer to that would, of course, be yes." But in this case, he said, "regard- less of the battery of attorneys, the outcome would be the same. Every issue that was debated in public was debated in our office before this case went to the grand jury" In this case, it is not the victims credibility but the state attorney's that deserves questioning.

"Ignorance is not a valid defense," said Bob Delde, a legal skills professor who was a lake City prosecutor for nearly 30 years, half of that time specializing in sex crimes against children. 'There is no knowledge element as far as the age is concerned," Delde said.

Rather than file charges, the state attorney's presented the case to a county grand jury The panel indict Epstein last week on a single, less serious charge of felony solicitation of pros- titution. The cast raised eyebrows because the state attorney's office rarely, if ever, kicks such charges to a grand jury. And it increases the difficulty of prosecuting child sex abuse cases especially when the defendant is enormously wealthy and can hire high- priced, top-tier lawyers. At least one of Epstein's alleged victims told police he knew she was underage when the two of them got naked for massages and sex- ual activity. She was 16 years old at the time and said Ep- stein asked her questions about her high school se- cording to police reports. A girl who said she met Epstein when she was 15 said he told her if she mid any- body what happened at his house, bad things could hap- pen, the police reports state. Epstein's youngest al- leged victim WSS 14 when she says she gave him a massage that included some sexual activity. She is now 16. The girl's father says he doesn't know whether she told Ep- stein her age. 'My daughter has kept a lotof what happened from me because of sheer embarrass- ment," he said. 'But she very much looked 14.Any prudent man would have had second thoughts about that: Defense attorney Jack Goldberger maintains that not only did Epstein pass a pobrgraph test showing he did not know the girls were minors, but their stories weren't credible. The state attorneys office also implied that their credibility was an issue when it decided not to charge Epstein directly, but instead give the case to the grand jury. 'A prosecutor has to look at it in a much broader fash- ion; a state attorney's spokesman said last week Epstein hired Harvard law Professor Alan Der- showitc when he became aware he was under investi- gation, and Dershowitz gave prosecutors information that some of the alleged victims had spoke of using alcohol and marijuana on a popular Web site, according to a Palm Beach police report Prosecutors typically consider two things in decid- ing whether to charge some- body with sex-related offens- es against minors— whether there is sufficient evidence and whether there is a public interest in doing so, Dekle said. Child sex abuse cases often are difficult to prosecute, an attorney says. If two teens are in a sexual relationship and the boy 18 before the girl. he could be charged with a sex crime if the sex continues. There would be no public in- terest in pursuing that Dekle said. But where that is a gap in ages-- and e in cases of teachers with stu- dents — there is a public in- terest In prosecuting, he said. Likewise if the accused has a track record of sex with mi- nors. Still there is a "universal constant' in prosecuting these cases, Delis said. Men who exploit underage chil- dren for sex often carefully choose their victims in ways that will minimize the risk to than, he said. Victimsusual:y2re from a lower social status, and they may suffer from psychologi- cal problems, Dekle said. 'tots of child sexual abuse victims have been vic- timized by multiple people over a period of time. Then the act of abuse produces behavior in the victims that further damages their credi- bility." Examples Include promiscuous behavior and drug abuse. Some of the alleged vic- tims in the Epstein case re- turned to his home multiple times for the ma m' ese sea sions and the $200 to $300 he typkaDy paid them per visiL "That would be a definite problem for the prosecutor,' saki Betty Resch, who prose- cuted crimes against children in Palm Beach County for live years and now is in private practice in lake Worth. The victim becomes less sympathetic' to a jtuy. Resch said. `But she's a victim nev- ertheless. She's a kid." Most men charged with sex crimes against minors look normal. Oekle said. A jury expecting to see a mon- ster seldom will. And the vie- time ages work against them and in favor of the defendant in a trial Dekle said. If a child and an adult tell different stories and both swear they're telling the truth, adult jurors are more likely to believe the adult, Dekle said. 'You have all these things working against you in a child sex abuse case. Prosecutors normally try to be very care- ful in filing those cases be- cause they know what they're getting into. There is no such thing as an iron-clad child sexual abuse case: trocd:r4,eposicam EFTA01688474 Palm Beach chief focus of fire in Epstein case Defendant's lawyers take him on; he slams state attorney By LARK?

Inside, hidden cameras trolled two rooms, while the girls came and went. For the police detectives who sifted through the gar- bage outside and kept records of visitors, it was the lair of a troubling target. Epstein, one of the most mysterious of the country's mega-rich, was known as much for his secrecy as for his love of fine things: mag- nificent homes, private jets, beautiful women, friendships with the world's elite. But at Palm Beach police headquarters, he was be- coming known for something else: the regular arrival of teenage girls he hired to give him massages and police say. perform sexual favors.

EFTA01688479 ► EPSTEIN from lA asking questions and teenage girls started talking, a wave of legal resistance followed. If Palm Beach police didn't know quite who Jeffrey Epstein was, they found out soon enough. Epstein, now 53, was a quintes- sential man of mystery. He amassed his fortune and friends quietly, always in the background as he navigated New York high society. When he first attracted notice in the early 1990s, it was on account of the woman he was dating: Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late British media tycoon Robert Maxwell. In a lengthy article, headlined 'The Mystery of Ghislaine Max- well's Secret Love," the British Mail on Sunday tabloid laid out specula- tive stories that the socialite's beau was a CIA spook, a math teacher, a concert pianist or a corporate head- hunter. But what is the truth about him?" the newspaper wondered. "Trice Maxwell, Epstein is both flamboyant and intensely private." The media frenzy did not begin in full until a decade later. In Sep- tember 2002, Epstein was flung into the limelight when he flew Clinton and actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker to Africa on his private jet Suddenly everyone wanted to know who Epstein was. New York magazine and Vanity Fair published lengthy profiles. The New York Post listed him as one of the city's most eligible bachelors and began describing him in its gossip columns with adjectives such as "mysterious" and "reclusive." Although Epstein gave no inter- views, the broad strokes of his past started to come into focus. Building a life of extravagance He was born blue-collar in 1953, the son of a New York City parks department employee, and raised in Brooklyn's Coney Island neighbor- hood. He left college without a bachelor's degree but became a math teacher at the prestigious Dalton School in Manhattan. The story goes that the father of one of Epstein's students was so impressed with the man that he put him in touch with a senior partner at Bear Stearns, the global investment bank and securities firm. In 1976, Epstein left Dalton for a job at Bear Steams. By the early 1980s, he had started J. Epstein and Co. That is when he began making his millions in earnest I. Little is known or said about Epstein's business except this: He manages money for the extremely wealthy. He is said to handle accounts only of $1 billion or great- er. It has been estimated he has roughly 15 clients, but their identi- ties are the subject of only specula- tion. All except for one: Leslie Wex- ner, founder of The Limited retail chain and a former Palm Belcher who is said to have been a mentor to Epstein. Wexner sold Epstein one of his most lavish residences: a massive townhouse that dominates a block on Manhattan's Upper East Side. It is reported to have, among its finer features, closed-circuit television and a heated sidewalk to melt away fallen snow. That townhouse, thought to be the largest private residence in Manhattan, is only a piece of the extravagant world Epstein built over time. In New Mexico, he constructed a 27,000-square-foot hilltop mansion on a 10,000-acre ranch outside Santa Fe. Many believed it to be the largest home in the state. In Palm Beach, he bought a waterfront home on El Brillo Way. And he owns a 100-acre private island in the Virgin Islands. Perhaps as remarkable as his lavish homes is his extensive net- work of friends and associates at the highest echelons of power. This includes not only socialites but also business tycoons, media moguls, politicians, royalty and Nobel Prize- winning scientists whose research he often funds. Just like other people collect art, he collects scientists," said Martin Nowak, who directs the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics at Harvard University and was reportedly the recipient of a $30 million research donation from Epstein. Epstein is said to have befriended former Harvard Presi- dent Larry Summers, prominent law Professor Alan Dershowitz, Donald Trump and New York Daily News Publisher Mort Zuckerman. And yet he managed for decades to maintain a low profile. He avoids eating out and was rarely photo- -grahed. "The odd thing is I never met him," said Dominick Dunne, the famous chronicler of the trials and tribulations of the very rich. "'wasn't even aware of him, except for,a Vanity Fair article. Epstein's friendship with Clinton has attracted the most attention. Epstein met Clinton as early as 1995, when he paid tens of thou- sands of dollars to join him at an intimate fund-raising dinner in Palm Beach. But from all appearances, they did not become close Mends until after Clinton left the Oval Office and moved to New York. Epstein has donated more than $100,000 to Democratic candidates' campaigns, including John Kerry's presidential bid, the reelection campaign of New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and the Senate bids of Joe Lieberman, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Christopher Dodd and Charles Schumer. Powerful Mends and enemies A Vanity Fair profile found cracks in the veneer of Epstein's life story. The 2003 article said he left Bear Steams in the wake of a federal probe and a possible Securities and Exchange Commission violation. It also pointed out that Citibank once sued him for defaulting on a $20 million loan. The article suggested that one of his business mentors and previous employers was Steven Hoffenberg, now serving a prison term after 'bilking investors out of more than $450 million in one of the largest Ponzi schemes in American liisto- rY." As he amassed his wealth, Epstein made enemies in disputes both large and small. He sued the man who in 1990 sold him his multimillion-dollar Palm Beach home over a dispute about less than $36,000 in furnishings. EFTA01688480 trmer Mend claimed Epstein O0-_,ca out of a promise to reim- gurse him hundreds of thousands of dollars after their failed investment in Texas oil wells. A judge decided Epstein owed him nothing. "It's a bad memory. I would rather not have ever met Jeffrey Epstein," said Michael Stroll, the retired former president of Williams Electronics and. Sega Corp. "Suffice it to say I have nothing good to say about him." Among the characteristics most attributed to Epstein is a penchant for women. He has been linked to Maxwell, a fixture on the high-society party circuits in both New York and Lon- don. Previous girlfriends are said to include a former Ms. Sweden and a Romanian model. "He's a lot of fun to be with," Donald Trump told New York maga- zine in 2002. "It is even said that he tiles beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it, Jeffrey enjoys his social life." Investigation leads to Epstein Although he was not a fre- quenter of the Palm Beach social scene, he made his presence felt Among his charitable donations, he gave $90,000 to the Palm Beach Police Department and $100,000 to Ballet Florida. In Palm Beach, he lived in luxu- ry. Three black Mercedes sat in his garage, alongside a green Harley- Davidson. His jet waited at a hangar at Palm Beach InternationalAirport At home, a private chef and a small staff stood at the ready. From a window in his mansion, he could look out on the Intracoastal Water- way and the West Palm Beach sky- line. He seemed to be a man who had everything. But extraordinary wealth can fuel extraordinary desires. ittacted Palm Reach police. She h 2005, a worried mother In Marc said another parent had overheard a conversation between their chil- dren. Now the mother was afraid her 14-year-old daughter had been molested by a man on the island. The phone call triggered an extensive investigation, one that would lead detectives to Epstein but • i leave them frustrated. Palm Beach police and the state attorney's office have declined to discuss the case. But a Palm Beach police report detailing the criminal probe offers a window into what detectives faced as they sought to close in on Epstein. Detectives interviewed the girl. who told them a friend had invited her to a rich man's house to perform a massage. She said the Mend told her to say she was 18 if asked. At the house, she said she was paid $300 after shipping to her panties and massaging the man while he mas- turbated. Police interview 5 alleged victims The investigation began in full after the girl identified Epstein in a photo as the man who had paid her. Police arranged for garbage trucks to set aside Epstein's trash so police could sift through it They set up a video camera to record the comings and goings at his home. They mon- Itored an airport hangar for s of his private jet's arrivals and de signpar- tures. They quickly learned that the I woman who took the 14-y dgirl to Epstein's house was Rob- son, a Palm Beach Comm Col- lege student from Loxahatchee. In a sworn 11* at police head- quarters, then 18, admitted she had n east six girls to visit Epstein, all between the ages of 14 and 16. Epstein paid her for each visit, she said. DS ( drive back to her house, told detectives, "I'm bite a ei ss." Police interviewed five alleged victims and 17 witnesses. Their report shows some of the girls said they had been instructed to have sex with another woman in front of Epstein, and one said she had direct intercourse with him. In October, police searched the Palm Beach mansion. They discov- females, photos of naked, young-looking just as several of the girls had described in interviews. Hidden cameras were found in the garage area and inside a clock on Epstein's desk, alongside a girl's high school transcript Two of Epstein's former employees told investigators that young-looking girls showed up to perform massages two or three times a day when Epstein was in town. They said the girls were permit- ted many indulgences. A chef cooked for them. Workers gave them rides and handed out hun- dreds of dollars at a time. One employee told detectives he was told to send a dozen roses to one teenage girl alter a high school drama performance. Others were given rental cars. One, according to police, received a $200 Christmas bonus. The cops moved to cement their case. But as they tried to tighten the noose, they encountered other forces at work. In Orlando they interviewed a possible victim who told them noth- ing inappropriate had happened between her and Epstein. They asked her whether she had spoken to anyone else. She said yes, a pri- vate investigator had asked her the same questions. When they subpoenaed one of Epstein's former employees, he told them the same thing. He and a pri- vate eye had met ate restaurant days earlier to go over what the man would tell investigators. Detectives received complaints that private eyes were posing as police officers. When they told Epstein's local attorney, Guy Frons- tin, he said the investigators worked for Roy Black, the high-powered Miami lawyer who has defended the likes of Rush Limbaugh and William Kennedy Smith. While the private eyes were conducting a parallel investigation, Dershowitz, the Harvard law pro- fessor, traveled to West Palm Beach with information about the girls. From their own profiles on the pop- ular Web site MySpace.com, he obtained copies of their discussions about their use of alcohol and mari- juana. He took his research to a meet- ing with prosecutors in early 2006, where he sought to cast doubton the teens' reliability. — The private eyes had dug up EFTA01688481 . • ' enough dirt on the girls to mit prosecutors skeptical Not only did some of the girls have issues with drugs or alcohol but also some had criminal records and other troubles, Epstein's legal team claimed. And at least one of them, they said, lied when she told police she was younger than 18 when she started performing massages for Fpctein. After the meeting, prosecutors postponed their decision to take the case to a grand jury. In the following weeks, police received complaints that two of the victims or their families had been harassed or threatened. Epstein's legal team maintains that its private investigators did nothing illegal or unethical during their researcla. By then, relations' between police and prosecutors were fraying. At a key meeting with prosecutors and the defense, Detective Joseph Recarey, the lead investigator. was a no-show, according to Epstein's attorney. 'The embarrassment on the prosecutor's face was evident when, the police officer never showed up for the meeting," attorney Jack Goldberger said. Later in April, Recarey walked into a prosecutor's office at the state attorney's office and learned the case was taking an unexpected turn. The prosecutor, Lanna Belohlavek, told Recarey the state attorney's office had offered Epstein a plea deal that would not require him to serve jail time or receive a felony conviction. Recarey told her he disapproved of the plea offer. The deal never came to pass, however. Future unclear after charge On May 1, the department asked prosecutors to approve warrants to arrest Epstein on four counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor and to charge his personal assi Sarah Kellen, now 27,forheralleged role in arranging the visits. Police officials also wanted to, charge Rob- son, the self-described Wick Fleiss, with lewd and lascivious acts. By then, the department was frustrated with the way the state attorney's office had handled the case. On the same day the warrants were requested, Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter wrote a letter to State Attorney Barry Krischer suggesting he disqualify himself from the case if he would not act. Two weeks later, Recarey was told that prosecutors had decided once again to take the case to the • grand jury. • It is not known how many of the girls testified before the grand jury. But Epstein's defense team said one girl who was subpoenaed—the one who said she had sexual intercourse with Epstein — never showed up. The grand jury's indictment was handed down m July. It was not the one the police department had wanted. Instead of being slapped with a charge of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, Epstein was charged with one count of felony solicitation • of prostitution, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. He was booked into the Palm Beach CountyJail earlyJuly 23 and released hours later. Epstein's legal team 'doesn't dispute that he had girls over for Massages," Goldberger said. But he said their claims that they had sex- ual encounters with him lack credi- bility. 'They are incapable of being believed: he said. "They had aka nal recordaThey had accusations of theft made against them by their employers. There was evidence of drug use by some of them." ' What remains for Epstein is yet to be seen. The Palm Beach Police Depart- ment has asked the FBI to investi- gate the case. It also has returned the $90,000 Epstein donated in 2004. In New York, candidates for governor and state attorney general have vowed to return a total of at least $60,000 in campaign contribu- tions from Epstein. Meanwhile, Epstein's powerful friends have remained silent as tabloids and Internet blogs feast on the public details of the police investigation. Goldberger maintains Epstein's innocence but nays the legal team has not ruled out a future plea deal. He insists Epstein will emerge in the end with his reputation untarnished. "He will recover from this," he said.

"We just think there has been a distorted view of this case in the me- dia presented by the Palm Beach po- lice," Goldberger said. Reiter has consistently declined to comment on the case and did not respond to a request for comment Monday. The implication that State Attor- ney Barry Krischer was easy on Ep- stein by presenting the case to a grand jury rather than filing charges directly against Ern is wrong. Gold- berger said. The Palm Beach Police Depart- ment was 'happy and ecstaSe- that the panel was going to review the evidence. "I think what happened is they weren't happy with the result. They decided to use the press to embarrass Mr. Epstein." But records show that Reiter mote Krischer on May 1— well be- fore the case went to the grand jury— suggesting that Krischer "consider if good and sufficient reason exists to requireyour disgw•dScation from the prosecution of these cases." Rather than flat-out decline to charge Epstein. Krischer referred the case to the grand jury to "ap pease' the chief. Goldberger said. A state attorney's spokesman would say only that the office refers cases to the grand jury when there are issues with the viability of the evidence or witnesses credibility. Both the state attorney and the grand jury concluded there was not sufficient evidence that Epstein had sex with minors, according to Gold- berger. 'It was just a childish perfor- mance by the Palm Beach Police Department.' Goldberger said. The defense attorney said one of the alleged victims who claimed she was a minor was in fact over the age of 18.
