1 that there is a guilty determination by a jury or by the Court,
2 that he is presumed to be innocent.
3 I did have these questions. One has to do with
4 persons who are categorized as victims. I want to get some
5 assurance from the U.S. Attorney's office that they have been
6 notified about this case and that you will keep them abreast of
7 developments in this case.
8 MR. ROSSMILLER: Yes, your Honor, we are acutely aware
9 of our obligations to the victims in this case. We have
10 notified them and we expect to continue to do so as the case
11 moves forward.
12 THE COURT: Second, for my background, I am aware that
13 there are certain conditions that attach to Mr. Epstein's sex
14 offender status resulting from his Florida state prosecution in
15 or about 2008. One result is that under New York law --
16 correct me if I'm wrong about any of this -- he is considered
17 to be at high risk of committing another sex crime with minors.
18 Is that a fair characterization of his sex offender status?
19 MR. ROSSMILLER: Your Honor, as the government set
20 forth in its submission to Judge Pitman, and we copied this
21 Court, it is our understanding that the defendant is a tier 3
22 sex offender in New York and that that is characterized as
23 high-risk individual.
24 THE COURT: The question that I have is what are the
25 implications, if any, of the search conducted by the U.S.
