• Mr. Epstein Poses A Threat to Additional Young Girls If He Is Released
At the remand/release hearing on Monday, July 15, 2019, as noted, the Court heard
poignant testimony from two of Mr. Epstein’s alleged victims about their fears and anxiety over
his potential release, even if under strict conditions of home confinement. The Court is also
concerned for new victims.

Mr. Epstein’s alleged excessive attraction to sexual conduct with or in the presence of
minor girls – which is said to include his soliciting and receiving massages from young girls and
young women perhaps as many as four times a day – appears likely to be uncontrollable. See
United States v. Minnici, 128 F. App’x 827, 829–30 (2d Cir. 2005) (defendant’s alleged sex
crimes were “of an addictive sexual nature that cannot be suppressed simply by a restrictive set
of bail conditions”). Accordingly, Mr. Epstein’s past sexual conduct is not likely to have abated
or been successfully suppressed by fierce determination, as his Defense Counsel suggests.
Defense Counsel contends that: “[H]e wasn’t a predator that couldn’t control his conduct. He
disciplined himself.” 7/15/19 Tr. at 31-32. Defense Counsel also argues that “appreciating the
gravity of these charges . . . putting aside the age of these witnesses and putting the consent issue
aside, it’s not like [Epstein is] an out-of-control rapist.” 7/15/19 Tr. at 36. It seems fair to say that
