MEDIA 12) 2009 EFTA00259984 Mr. Epstein proves Palm Beach not immune to pedophiles Page 1 of I PalmBeachDailyNpy csgm cia PRINTTHIS Powered by tiClickability Mr. Epstein proves Palm Beach not immune to pedophiles Saturday, November 28, 2009 As a concerned mother in a three-generational Palm Beach family, I have come to realize that our little Valhalla is no exception to the mounting social problems facing our nation. In fact, our barrier-reef island has become home to one of the most notorious pedophiles in the history of child trafficking. Jeffrey E. Epstein, the infamous registered sex offender who lives on one of the town's highly regarded "three El streets," physically abused, raped, solicited prostitution of minor children and trafficked in girls from Palm Beach County. His sentencing widely differed from the seriousness of the indictment. Out of an 18-month sentence, he served only 13 months' incarceration at the West Palm Beach stockade. His privileges included a daily reprieve from jail from 6:30 a.m. until 10 p.m. He was driven by his driver/bodyguard, monitored by an off-duty Palm Beach County sheriffs deputy, to an office building ... that housed not only his attorney's offices but also his foundation. Mr. Epstein wears no electric monitor, was absolved of community service due to an alleged "clerical error" and may abscond from house arrest from dawn until evening. Child trafficking is a $67 billion annual global industry. It is a non-discriminatory business and it has become a pandemic. We need to rethink strategy, reallocate the budgets and retrain the "foot soldiers," who will be made up mostly of women — and we need Mr. Epstein gone.

Also, the judge denied a request for Epstein to fly to New York Dec. 12 to meet with the undersecretary of education to the prime minister of Great Britain. Epstein, 56, has been under house arrest in his Palm Beach mansion since being released from jail in July after serving 13 months for procuring a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution. The Manhattan money manager is fighting more than a dozen civil lawsuits in Florida and New York, all with allegations that he sexually abused minor girls. Assistant State Attorney Barbara Burns did not oppose the motion for Epstein to meet with attorneys. State attorney spokesman Mike Edmondson said the opposing counsel in New York has some exhibits that Epstein's attorneys want him to see.

According to a court order, a clerical error was made at the time of Epstein's plea conference, which made community service a requirement. Epstein was authorized to work at his not-for- profit Florida Science Foundation, the agreement stated. The court order states that "mandatory public service," which was checked as a condition of his probation, was a mistake. The order deletes it as a requirement of his probation. According to the Florida division of corporations, the Florida Science Foundation is inactive. Papers were filed Sept. 25 to administratively dissolve it. This is the second clerical error made regarding Epstein's probation. An earlier court order deleted the need for any electronic monitoring. According to that order, the plea agreement and hearing reflected that Epstein was not to be electronically monitored. Epstein, 56, served 13 months of his 18-month sentence at the Palm Beach County Stockade. for procuring a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution. He is serving a one-year probation in his Palm Beach mansion. The money manager is still fighting more than a dozen lawsuits — state and federal — from young women who say they were sexually abused by him when they were minors.

The lawsuit — filed by Jane Doe 102 in May by Miami attorney Robert Josefsberg — was dismissed Dec. 8 by a signed order from U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra, closing the case. The order was dismissed with prejudice, meaning the case cannot be refiled. Court records show Epstein settled another case with sexual abuse allegations brought by Jane Doe 101, a case filed in April by Josefsberg. Marra signed that dismissal order with prejudice on the same day as Doe 102. Epstein's civil attorney Robert Critton was unavailable for comment. Josefsberg did not return calls for comment. The Doe 102 complaint alleged that Epstein enticed the victim to quit her job as a changing room assistant at the Mar-A-Lago Club, where in 1998 she earned $9 an hour. The lawsuit said the girl was recruited at the club by Epstein's then-companion Ghislaine Maxwell, who told the girl she could learn massage therapy and earn a "great deal of money." In addition to Palm Beach, Epstein took the girl to New York City; Santa Fe, N.M.; Los Angeles,; San Francisco; St. Louis; Europe; the Caribbean and Africa, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit alleged that in all of these locations she was required to engage in sex acts with him and other women, including other minors. The lawsuit also alleged that the victim was not only required to satisfy Epstein's "every sexual whim," but that she also was exploited by Epstein's adult male peers. They included royalty, politicians, academicians, businessmen and others in various locations around the world, the suit said. The lawsuit, like the more than a dozen other lawsuits filed against the billionaire money manager, says his modus operandi in the initial visit was the same: the minor girl was taken to Epstein's mansion on El Brillo Way and led upstairs to a spa room by one of Epstein's assistants, where he would ask the girl to perform massages and/or various sex acts, for which he would pay her. http://cox.printthis.elickability.com/pt/ept?action=cpterritle=Jeffrey+Epstein+settles+two... 12/22/2009 EFTA00260013 .• Jeffrey Epstein settles two lawsuits Page 2 of 2 The allegations in the Jane Doe 101 complaint say the victim was a 17-year-old high school student when she was brought to Epstein's mansion in spring 2003. According to the complaint, Epstein asked her what year she would graduate high school, to which she replied 2004. She gave Epstein a massage, which involved him touching himself and her while she was naked from the waist up. She was paid $200 and was "lured" back to the mansion on at least one other occasion. Epstein, 56, was released from the Palm Beach County Stockade in July, after serving less than 13 months of his 18-month sentence for procuring a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution. He is serving one year of probation in his Palm Beach mansion.
