Accused of hiring underage teens for sexual favors, Epstein's charges include offering to engage in prostitution and solicitation of prostitution. Epstein went to jail just before ten this morning. His plea agreement ensures that Epstein will serve a total of 18 months in the Palm Beach Detention Facility. Twelve months for felony solicitation of prostitutes and an additional six for procuring persons under 18 for prostitution. The convictions stem from several incidents from August of 2004 to October 2005. The State Attorney would not say how many female victims there are. She would only say there was more than one adult victim and more than one under-aged victim. After 18 months in the Palm Beach Detention Facility. Epstein will serve another 12 months house arrest at his Palm Beach home. He'll be confined to his home except for work and other activities approved by his probation officer. Twelve months of community service will be served at Epstein's own non-profit, the Florida Science Foundation. The guilty plea and deal end a years long process that could have sent Epstein to jail for 15 years. Wthin two days of Epstein's release he will have to register as a sexual offender - a designation he'll have to keep for the rest of life.

And in a bid to squash a possible pile-up of messy civil actions, Epstein's legal eagles, led by Gerald Lefcourt, are mulling a possible lump-sum offer to settle the claims all at once, said sources close to the police investigation. But the attorneys believe many of the suits could be frivolous. "You are a girl who is broke who uses drugs. Here's your shot at getting some money," one insider said During the probe that led to Epstein's plea deal, which will put him behind bars for 18 months, underage girls told cops they claimed to be 18 or over Individual Rc and gave the finanoer massages for hundreds of dollars per session. One described in court documents as just 14, said Epstein used a "purple Getting started i girl. vibrator" on her while she partially stripped. Cops say Epstein's assistant, helped arrange the massages Open "The lawyers have identified up to 40 women who could come forward, even though some of them didn't even see Epstein - they just accompanied their friends and stayed in the kitchen and had lunch." the source said. Epstein's legal team is also fighting to get some portions of the police report chronicling the sleazy activities changed 'For example, the state police Bane of Amerka out this Investment Savkas, I reported finding in Mr Epstein's garbage a 'sex toy.' But it later turned 'sex toy' was really a broken salad fork," the insider said.

EFTA01682752 PRISON PATROL ? WHITEWATER'S STARR GETTING EPSTEIN OFF By the time you read this. Whitewater special prosecutor Kenneth Starr will likely have touched down in Palm Beach, Florida, to meet with federal prosecutors and Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire money manager now facing an indictment and prison time stemming from allegations of sexual crimes with underage girls. Many insiders believe Starr—the prosecutor in the Clinton-Lewinsky sex scandal—will work his powerful connections to get Epstein excused of the charges. STARR TURN Ken Epstein (a past Radar investor with the New York Daily News's Mort Zuckerman) arrived in Palm Beach his private 727 to face charges of transporting minors across yesterday on state lines for • revealed that prostitution.

His legal problems solicitation of prostitution. he was indicted in Palm Beach on one felony count of • EFTA01682753 His arrest was the result of a 15-month investigation by the Palm Beach police department into allegations that he was soliciting high schoo l girls for sexual massages. According to a number of the police interviews, the naive young girls believed they would be paid only for "massaging an old white guy." But Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter developed a disgust for what he believed to be preferential treatment given to wealthy Epstein in the investigation and had called in the FBI. According to police documents, on April 17, 2006, Epste in called in Harvard Law professor—and the lawyer who successfully defended Deep Throat actor Harry Reems—Alan Dershowitz and powerful attorney Guy Frons tin, who secured him a plea bargain. Epstein would plead guilty to one count of aggravated assault in exchange for five years probation, a psychiatric evaluation, and no unsupervised visits with minors. In all probability, the man once declared one of the most eligible bachelors in Manhattan would be labele d a pedophile. But three weeks later, according to a May 4 police report , as authorities were ready to charge Epstein with four counts of unlawful sexual activity with minors and one count of lewd and lascivious molestation, he hired new lawyers, and Palm Beach County State Prosecutor Barry Krischer let them renege on Epstein's deal, the result of events too perfect to attribu te to serendipity. (Despite repeated requests, the prosecutor's office would not comment for this story.) Epstein had spoken with Manhattan criminal attorney Geral d Lefcourt to review his options. Within days, Lefcourt brought in Palm Beach criminal attorney Jack Goldberger who just happened to know state attorney Krisch er before he I became a prosecutor. But not only was Goldberger friend ly with the man i prosecuting Epstein, his partner was married to the assistant sex-crimes prosecutor who had been spearheading the Epstein invest igation—faced suddenly with the glaring conflict, the sex-crimes invest igator resigned from the case. Epstein's deal was abandoned and a new assistant prosecutor was assigned. Epstein was so thrilled by Goldberger's work that shortl y after he was indicted on just a single prostitution charge, he bought the Palm Beach lawyer a black, top- of-the-line 500 series BMW. Less than six weeks later, Goldb erger totaled the car in a collision. Makes one wonder what sort of gift would be bestowed upon Starr should he score Epstein a get-out-of-jail free card as early as today. A box of fine cigars, perhaps?

By SUSAN SPENCER-WENDEL Palm Beach Post Ste Writes WEST PALM BEACH — When wealthy money manager Jeffrey Epstein of Palm Beach pleaded guilty last year to pro- curing teens for prostitution, his case detoured around local and state rules regarding the sealing of court documents. At a plea conference on the state charges, a judge, a defense lawyer and a pros- ecutor huddled at the bench and decided that a deal Epstein Epstein had struck with federal prosecu- tors to avoid charges should be sealed, according to a transcript of the hearing. And so it was. But Florida rules of judicial admin- istration, as well as rules of the Palm Beach County court system, require public notification that a court document has been or will be sealed, meaning kept from public view. The rules also require a judge to find a significant reason to seal, See EPSTEIN, 4A ► See past coverage of Jeffrey Epstein's sex scandals.
