Remarks as Prepared for Delivery by
[REDACTED]
Assistant Director in Charge
FBI New York Field Office
Jeffrey Epstein Arrest
July X, 2019
Preserving the innocence of children is the most important
responsibility we carry as adults. Failing them, in any way, is not an
option.
And yet there are some who blatantly disregard this golden rule, using
whatever tools they have at their disposal to lure children into a life of
which they should never be exposed.
As we allege today, Jeffrey Epstein is one of those people.
As of x a.m., he is under arrest.../At X p.m., as he was X, we placed
him under arrest. Epstein has been charged with one count each of sex
trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy.
For at least a three year period, from 2002-2005, he is alleged to have
sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his homes in
New York City and Palm Beach, Florida.
The girls were recruited in a variety of ways, usually by employees of
Epstein and victim recruiters themselves.
• The victim recruiters and the girls they found typically received
hundreds of dollars in cash.

The estimated dozens of victims were as young as 14 years old at the
time of recruitment.
• Children who were made to give Epstein massages while they
were nude or partially nude.
• Children who were asked to engage in direct and indirect sex acts
for money.
• Children who were enticed to do all of this at the hands of a man
more than or nearly three times their age.
Those who have been victimized by child sexual predators are
frequently haunted by memories of these crimes well into adulthood,
and often for the rest of their lives. They bear the burden of someone
else’s criminal behavior.
As an FBI agent, and as a father first, I stand among many who make
it our mission to put child predators behind bars where they belong; to
listen to every child who feels they’ve been exploited; and to advocate
for the most vulnerable among us.
Today I’m asking everyone to take a good look at this man. If you’ve
been victimized by him in any way, or have any additional information
about his alleged illegal behavior, we want to hear from you.
• Whatever age you are now
• Whatever age you were then
• And no matter when or where the incident or incidents took place
The number to call is 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Your bravery might just empower others to speak out about crimes
committed against them.
It’s important to remember, there never was, nor will there ever be, an
excuse for this kind behavior. In the eyes of the FBI, the victim always
comes first.
Many thanks, as always, to our partners from the Southern District of
New York. Last but not least, I extend my sincere congratulations to
the FBI’s Criminal Division in New York for their hard work on this
investigation.
