During the course of the investigation a search warrant was executed at Jeffrey Epstein's home located at
358 El Brillo Way in Palm Beach. 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. Also located in the house were various phone message books. The telephone message books have a
duplicate copy (Carbon Copy) which, once a phone message is written into the book, the top copy is then torn
on the perforated edge and the carbon copy is left in the book. First names of girls, dates and telephone numbers
were on the copy of the messages. I recognized various numbers and names of girls that had already been
interviewed. The body of the messages were time of the day that they called for confirmation of "work." Other
names and telephone numbers were located in which the body of the messages were, "I have girls for him" or "I
have 2 girls for him." These messages were taken by
who signed the bottom of the messages.
During the execution of the warrant, I located a
transcript for
in Epstein's
bedroom desk. This desk had stationary marked Jeffrey E Epstein. I located a wood colored armoire beside
Epstein's bed that contained a bottle of "Joy Jelly," which is used to provide a warm massage. Several ma gesage
tables were located throughout the second floor of the residence, including a massage 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. A computer was located
which was believed to contain the ima es from the covert cameras. The computer's hard drive was reviewed

images appeared to come from the camera positioned behind Epstein's desk.

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

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.
Additionally, he stated the bed would almost always have to be made after the massage.
On January 4, 2006 I interviewed another former houseman, Mr Alfredo Rodriguez. 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 coming 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

numerous photographs of naked young females, some of which appeared to be the girls I previously

up the massage tables. I asked if there were things going on other than a massage.

On January 4, 2006 I interviewed another former houseman, Mr Alfredo Rodriguez. 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

Unlike most accused johns, Epstein

convictions.

no such convictions.

Police say
lawyer tried
to discredit
teenage girls
By LARRY KELLER
Palm Brack Post attlitiler
Famed Harvard law professor Alan
Dershowitz met with the Palm Beach
County State Attorney's Office and pro-
vided damaging information about teen-
age girls who say they gave his client,
Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey
sexually charged massages, accot
police reports.
The reports also state that another
Epstein attorney agreed to a plea bargain
that would have allowed Epstein to have no
criminal record. His current attorney de-
nies this happened.
And the documents also reveal that the
father of at least one girl complained that
private investigators aggressively fol-
lovred his car,Sotographed his home and
chased off visitors.
Police also talked to
somebody who said she
was offered money if she
refused to cooperate with
the Palm Beach Police
Department probe of Ep-
stem.
The state attorney's
office said it presented the
Epstein case to a county
grand jury this month
rather than directly
charging Epstein because
of concerns about the
girls' credibility. The
grand jury indicted Ep-
stein, 53, on a single count of felony solic-
itation of prostitution, which carries a
maximum penalty of five years in prison.
Police believed there was probable
cause to charge Epstein with the more
serious crimes of unlawful sex acts with a
minor and lewd and lascivious molesta-
tion. Police Chief Michael Reiter was so
angry that he wrote State Attorney Barry
Knscher a memo in May suggesting he
disqualify himself from the case.

case is not whether females
came to his waterfront home,
but whether he knew their

"lies never denied girls

berger said. But when Ep-
stein was given a polygraph
test, "he passed on knowl-

said.

referred the matter to the

The chief himself has

West Palm Beach defense

said. "It's a way for the pros-
ecutor's office to not take the
full responsibility for not fil-

He was over 50. And they were girls
If the women whom Palm Beach
police say a part-time town resident
invited to his home and paid for
sex acts were, in fact, women, the
solicitation charge against Jeffrey
Epstein might feel more sufficient

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.

Expert: Ignorance of age
isn't defense in sex cases
By LARRY KEGLER
Pain Beath Post Sie Writer
Even if Palm Beach mon-
ey manager Jeffrey Epstein
didn't know that girls who
police say gave him grind
mascages at his Intracoastal
home were under the legal
age, that alone wouldn't have
exempted him from criminal
charges of sexual activity with
minors.
"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.
After an 11-month investi-
gation, Palm Beach police
said there was probable cause
to charge Epstein, 53, with
unlawM sex acts with a minor

Lawyer: Juroft often believe *kilts over kids
It• EPSTEIN from la
his current job. has returned
810,000 to him because of the
Palm Beach scandal, the New
YothDatlyNetts has reported.
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:

Jeffrey Epstein has donated more than 5100,000
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 Clinton, Christopher Dodd and Charles Schumer.
WINGED GARGOYLES guarded the gate at Jeffrey
Epstein's Palm Beach mansion. 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.
Epstein was different
from most sexual abuse sus
pacts; he was far more pow.
erfuL He counted among his
friends former President Bill
Clinton. Donald Trump and
Prince Andrew, along with
sonic of the most prominent

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.

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

tures.
They quickly learned that the

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-

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.

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.

Attorney: Police gave media `distorted view'
► EPSIIIN ANN /B
They did that Monday via Gold-
berger and a Los Angeles publicist
for Miami criminal defense attorney
Roy Black, who also has represented
Epstein in the case.
"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. Another alleged victim who
was subpoenaed to testify to the
grand jury failed to do so. Epstein's

accusers, he added, have histories of
drug abuse and thefts. - These wom-
en are liars. We've established that"
But why would they all invent
their stories about meeting Epstein
for sexual massages?
'I don't have an answer as to what
was the motivation for these women
to come forward and make these al-
legations," Goldberger said.
