ADDRESSEE New York Office of Sexual Offender Management Albany Re Jeffrey E Epstein: New York State and SORNA registration notification Dear Ms Jeffrey Epstein, d/o/b/ 01-20-1953 , when in New york, resides at 9 E 71" St, New York, New York 10021. In June of 2008 he plead guilty to two criminal charges brought by the State Attorney for Palm Beach County, one of which required him to register as a sex offender in the State of Florida. Accordingly, he is registered as a sex offender in the State of Florida. Because his primary residence is in the Virgin Islands, he has also registered as a sex offender in that jurisdiction. Mr. Epstein's State of Florida offenses were for felony solicitation of prostitution between August i, 2004 and October 31, 2005 in violation of Florida Statute 796.07(1)(Indictment 06-9454CF) and for Procuring a Person Under 18 for Prostitution in violation of Florida Statute 796.03 (Information No 08CF9381). The latter required registration. It was based on conduct occurring between August I, 2004 and October 9, 2005 with a person, A.D. who turned 18 on October 10, 2005 (i.e. the conduct as alleged occurred when A.D. was between 16 yrs 9+ months and 17 yrs 364 days old). Mr. Epstein, pursuant to a plea agreement, entered his plea on June 30, 2008. His sentence which included a period of incarceration and a consecutive period of community control which — concluded on July 21, 2010. Mr. Epstein, even before concluding his Florida sentence, filled out , and presented the registration forms to Detctive rOdriguez at the Somu in New York City. on May 20, 2010 because of his New York City home, his Florida conviction, and the standards for "residence" contained in the SORNA guidelines for sex offender registration. On July 19, 2010, prior to Mr. Epstein's leaving the State of Florida, my colleague Kimberly Homan Esq, spoke briefly with you regarding Mr. Epstein, and ascertaining that the State of New York does not have a notification requirement for travel. .Upon arriving in New York for a short stay, Mr Epstein, accompanied by attorney Darren K Indyke, met with Sargeant Andrea Herzberg and PO Williams at the Sex Offender Monitoring Unit of the New York Police Dept (314 West 40th St) on July 23, 2010 in the morning. Mr. Epstein was informed at that meeting that the Divsion of Criminal Justice Services in Albany had Mr. Epstein in its system, and had requested that his counsel advise the Division regarding how frequently Mr. Epstein intended to be at his New York City home. As a result, Mr. Epstein and Mr. Indyke requested that I communicate in writing with you so that Mr. Epstein can receive authoritative advice as to whether his prior offense and his pan time residence in New York meets the criteria for state registration. It is Mr. Epstein's intention to be in New York for _no more that ten days at a time. , days in the coming year (July 27, 2010-July 26, 2011). He would keep a detailed log of each day he was in New York and if the days exceeded 10 he would immediately present himself for registration. EFTA_R1_00009896 EFTA01733848 Independent of the decision whether he qualifies for state registration, Mr. Epstein is cognizant of the separate obligations to register under SORNA. He would therefore request that the State of New York maintain his current registration so that he would be in full compliance with his federal obligations. Finally, Mr. Epstein is aware of the SORNA notification requirement when he is traveling away from his residence for 7 or more days. We have been advised that as long as he notifies his primary residence jurisdiction, that this woudld suffice for all notifications , both state and federal. If New york would also require notice, we would ask that it be by email. YT MGW EFTA_R1_00009897 EFTA01733849
