Summary
This legal document, filed on July 18, 2019, outlines the arguments concerning the pretrial release of the defendant, Mr. Epstein. The Government contends he is an extraordinary flight risk due to his wealth, access to private planes, and the lengthy potential prison sentence, citing a history of investigations for sex offenses starting around 2005. The Defense counters by arguing that Mr. Epstein's compliance with his sex-offender registration mitigates any danger and that he has never attempted to flee the U.S.

11, Ex. 1 at 1. The Government also contends that “[i]n light of the strength of the Government’s evidence and the substantial incarceratory term the defendant would face upon conviction [45 years], there is an extraordinary risk of flight, particularly given the defendant’s exorbitant wealth, his ownership of and access to private planes capable of international travel, and his significant international ties.” Id.
The Government also provides the following background information: “In or about 2005, the defendant was investigated by local police in Palm Beach, Florida, in connection with allegations that he had committed similar sex offenses against minor girls. The investigation ultimately also involved federal authorities, namely the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida and the FBI’s Miami Office, and included interviews with victims based in the Palm Beach area, including some of the alleged victims relevant to Count One of the instant Indictment. In the fall of 2007, the Defendant entered into a non-prosecution agreement (“NPA”) with the Southern District of Florida in connection with the conduct at issue in that investigation, which the non-prosecution agreement identified as including investigations into the defendant’s abuse of minor girls in the Palm Beach area.” Id. at 3. “In June 2008, the defendant pled guilty in [Florida] state court to one count of procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution, a felony, and one count of solicitation of prostitution, [also] a felony. As a result, the defendant was designated as a sex offender with registration requirements under the national Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.” Id.
The Defense moved on July 11, 2019, for pretrial release of Mr. Epstein, arguing that “Mr. Epstein’s strict compliance with the various monitoring requirements associated with his sex-offender registration actually decrease[s] any danger that he might otherwise pose” and also that “Mr. Epstein has never once attempted to flee the United States.” Dkt. 6 at 1, 12.
