federal agents on May 28, 2008. The FBI's Victim-Witness Specialist sent a letter to S.R.
on May 30, 2008 (Ex. 5).
4. Throughout the investigation, the FBI agents, the FBI's Victim-Witness
Specialist, and your Affiant had contact with C.W. and S.R. Attorney Edwards' other client,
T.M., was represented by counsel and, accordingly, all contact with T.M. was made through
that attorney. That attorney was James Eisenberg, and his fees were paid by Jeffrey Epstein,
the target of the investigation.3
5. In the summer of 2007, Mr. Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the
Southern District of Florida ("the Office") entered into negotiations to resolve the
investigation. At that time, Mr. Epstein had been charged by the State of Florida with
solicitation of prostitution, in violation of Florida Statutes § 796.07. Mr. Epstein's attorneys
sought a global resolution of the matter. The United States subsequently agreed to defer
federal prosecution in favor of prosecution by the State of Florida, so long as certain basic
preconditions were met. One of the key objectives for the Government was to preserve a
federal remedy for the young girls whom Epstein had sexually exploited. Thus, one
condition of that agreement, notice of which was provided to the victims on July 9, 2008, is
the following:
"Any person, who while a minor, was a victim of a violation of an offense
enumerated in Title 18, United States Code, Section 2255, will have the same
rights to proceed under Section 2255 as she would have had, if Mr. Epstein
3The undersigned does not know when Mr. Edwards began representing T.M. or whether
T.M. ever formally terminated Mr. Eisenberg's representation.
