This is all amazing — thank you so much! Not that we had any doubts, but we're working up against a lot of bureaucracy in
this case overall so we're very happy to be in your extremely capable hands for this part.
On just basic logistics, the USAO number is and the FBI investigation number is — they are
indeed working on it, and it's Special Agent and NYPD Detective (but FBI TFO officer)
both in the C-20 squad.
That all sounds great about notification, and we can check to see who the right contact person is on the FBI side to make
sure the relevant information for the victims has been put into the FBI database (or if you have someone there you
normally coordinate with, don't hesitate to reach out directly if that's preferable).
We'll also definitely include that language with the 800 number in the press release, and I imagine we will also have
say the number if there's a press conference as well. We'll also coordinate with the agents on whether they want to
notify the victims at the time of arrest or whether we should give you that contact info, but either way we appreciate that
you can do it.
Please let me know if anything else would be useful for you at this stage? And today got away from me — just catching up
on emails from this morning now — but we're generally around in the next day or two so can connect up at a time that
works for you.
thanks again,

The press release should have our 800 line 866 874-8900 that number rings on my desk. Something like, if you believe
that you are a victim please call Victim Witness Coordinator at 8668748900 or If you believe you are a victim
of this crime please call 8668748900.
This is a case that FBI is working on too? So as the interviews are done the victim should have been put into the FBI data
base. As soon the complaint is filed in Federal District Court all the information on the FBI side should cross over to us.
We will send out the notice of charges filed immediately. Every time we have a court date victims will be noticed. Anyone
that calls I will get the name and number and give it to the FBI.

If you would like on the day of the arrest I can call the victims that you have so far and make them aware that he has been
arrested.
Anything else you want done we will do. We are not the Southern District of Florida.
I need the FBI investigation number and the USAO no. to make the smooth transition.
I am around all day.

We are in the process of investigating Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire who previously was granted a non-prosecution
agreement following an investigation based in Florida, for conduct committed in New York—specifically, paying dozens of
minor girls to engage in sex acts with him at his Manhattan mansion. The investigation is still very much covert and
confidential, but we've quietly been in touch with victims in New York and Florida and we expect to charge the case in the
next week or so.
One extremely important element of the case will be making sure we comply with our victims' rights obligations,
especially because in the initial Florida investigation the U.S. Attorney's Office violated those rights (as was recently found
by a federal court in Florida). So we wanted to coordinate with you on the best way to provide information for victims to
contact us. I think sometimes in a case like this we would have the victims call the FBI, but because of the extreme
sensitivity about the prior U.S. Attorney's Office failing to meet the requirements, we may want to direct victims to
contact us.
It may be that we get very few calls, or we may get a ton—it will be a high-profile prosecution and it's been widely
reported that he had dozens or hundreds of victims. Would there be a good time sometime in the next couple days to
meet and talk about what you think would be most effective and most efficient in terms of making sure we have our
bases covered? Some combination of the case team (me, M, and I are available anytime that's convenient
for you, and we can also send any additional info that would be helpful.
Thanks very much as always,
Assistant U.S. Attorney
Southern District of New York
