Summary
Transcript from a July 24, 2019 court hearing (Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB) where Epstein's defense argues for his release. The defense claims Epstein 'disciplined himself' and cites a 14-year gap in allegations (referencing 2002 and 2005) as proof he is no longer a danger. The Judge ('The Court') challenges this position, quoting the defense's previous letter which stated any danger had 'abated' or 'evaporated.'

1 being investigated, he wasn't a predator that couldn't control
2 his conduct. He disciplined himself.
3 There has been no allegation since the commencement of
4 that investigation that Mr. Epstein again endangered a minor.
5 Putting aside consent, there is just no allegation.
6 The witnesses that Mr. Rossmiller will offer to the
7 Court in the future, at least to the extent that they've been
8 characterized by the government, are more witnesses with a kind
9 of a parallel group of witnesses to the 2002 and '05
10 allegations. So I think a 14-year gap is an eloquent rebuttal
11 to a burden of production presumption as to danger.
12 THE COURT: So I have a question about that too
13 because I'm not so sure. I don't purport to know, but I'm not
14 so sure.
15 So in your letter to the Court -- I think it's at page
16 6 -- is one of a series of strong statements. This one in
17 particular says: "Any danger that Mr. Epstein may have once
18 posed to the community has long since abated." Another
19 sentence used the word "evaporates," but let's say "abated."
20 The defense submission goes on to say: "At the very
21 least, this enormous gap in time precludes a finding,"
22 "precludes a finding by clear and convincing evidence that no
23 conditions of release can reasonably assure the community's
24 safety."
25 Right? That's your position as a matter of law. You
