Summary
This document is the conclusion page (Page 10) of a legal filing by the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, dated July 8, 2019, in the case against Jeffrey Epstein (Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB). The Government argues that the defendant should be denied bail because he poses an 'extraordinarily real' flight risk due to his vast wealth, private planes, and foreign contacts, and is a danger to the community due to his alleged abuse of dozens of underage girls and history of witness tampering. The document is signed by Assistant US Attorneys Alex Rossmiller, Alison Moe, and Maurene Comey on behalf of US Attorney Geoffrey Berman.

CONCLUSION
As set forth above, in this case, the risk of flight in this case is extraordinarily real. The defendant is extremely wealthy, has extensive foreign contacts, and is charged with serious offenses that carry a potential statutory sentence of up to 45 years’ imprisonment—even a fraction of which could result in the defendant, who is 66 years old, spending the rest of his life in jail. In sum, the defendant’s transient lifestyle, his lack of family or community ties, his extensive international travel and ties outside the country, and his vast wealth, including his access to and ownership of private planes, all provide the defendant with the motive and means to become a successful fugitive. Further, the nature of the offenses he is alleged to have perpetrated—the abuse dozens of underage, vulnerable girls—along with his demonstrated willingness to harass, intimidate and otherwise tamper with victims and other potential witnesses against him, render his dangerousness readily apparent.
Accordingly, the Government respectfully submits that the defendant cannot and will not be able to meet his burden of overcoming the strong presumption in favor of detention, that there are no conditions of bail that would assure the defendant’s presence in court proceedings in this case or protect the safety of the community, and that any application for bail should be denied.
Very truly yours,
