Dear=
I just wanted to let you know that and I spoke with Roy Black yesterday regarding the Epstein case. Roy
asked whether there was a way to resolve the federal and state litigation simultaneously and mentioned your
desire to wrap up the case before you retired. We informed him that the Office's position is that if Epstein
promptly abides by the terms of the signed non-prosecution agreement entered into by the Office and Mr.
Epstein, we will end our investigation. If Mr. Epstein chooses to go forward with a different plea in the State,
that is his prerogative, but we will consider it a breach of the federal non-prosecution agreement and will proceed
accordingly.
The federal non-prosecution agreement signed by Mr. Epstein and his counsel requires Mr. Epstein to plead
guilty to the current state indictment and also to an information charging a state offense that requires sex offender
registration, specifically the charge of procuring minors to engage in prostitution, at least 18 months
imprisonment, and an agreement that the victims can pursue damages claims as though Mr. Epstein had been
convicted of the federal offenses. Our agreement does not address probationary periods following the term of
incarceration. Those are statutorily set on the federal side, so we have left that issue to the defense to negotiate
with you.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
