Summary
This document is a transcript page from a SORA (Sex Offender Registration Act) hearing for Jeffrey Epstein filed on July 15, 2019. Defense attorneys Jay Lefkowitz and Sandra Musumeci appear for Epstein, who is not present, while Jennifer Gaffney appears for the People. The discussion centers on a 'Level Three' recommendation from the board and the prosecution's hesitation to rely on the Florida probable cause affidavit because Florida only pursued one case despite multiple victims listed.
