EFTA00020426.pdf

This document is an email chain from March 2021 between Ghislaine Maxwell's defense counsel (Christian Everdell) and the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) regarding discovery disputes. The defense raises seven specific issues, including the inability of Maxwell to view files on prison computers, missing email attachments (over 109,000), metadata discrepancies suggesting files were created/modified after seizure, and gaps in Bates numbering. The prosecution responds by explaining technical limitations with the MDC (prison), asserting that metadata reflects the state of files upon FBI seizure or carving, and clarifying that certain images came from physical CDs seized from Epstein's residences in 2019 rather than electronic extractions.

This document is an email chain from March 2021 regarding discovery disputes in the Ghislaine Maxwell case. Defense attorney Christian Everdell outlines seven specific issues to the US Attorney's Office (USANYS), including technical problems with Maxwell accessing files on the prison computer, missing email attachments, and significant metadata discrepancies where files from Jeffrey Epstein's devices show creation/modification dates occurring after his death and the seizure of the devices (dates in 2020). The chain concludes with USANYS contractors scheduling an internal meeting to address these production issues.

This document is a chain of emails between Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team (Cohen & Gresser) and the US Attorney's Office regarding discovery disputes. Key issues include the logistics of providing electronic discovery to Maxwell in prison (MDC) because she cannot use disks, missing email attachments, and metadata discrepancies for thousands of files and photos recovered from Epstein's devices and residences. The prosecution explains that 'carved' or deleted files lack original metadata and that certain photos came from seized CDs rather than devices processed by the FBI's CART unit.

This document excerpt details two main points: findings from a MySpace webpage regarding an individual falsely claiming to be 18 years old and allegations of Juan Alessi burglarizing Epstein's home. The MySpace findings, including provocative content and claims of high earnings, were provided to the PBPD defense but not included in official reports. Juan Alessi, a former employee, was caught on tape stealing cash from Epstein's Palm Beach residence in 2003, admitted to the burglaries, and made a statement regarding Epstein's massages, though his criminal history and mental instability were also not included in official police reports.

DOJ-OGR-00021478.jpg

This legal document details the conflicting accounts between federal prosecutor Villafaña and victims' attorney Edwards concerning the notification for Jeffrey Epstein's June 30, 2008 state court guilty plea. Villafaña claims she encouraged Edwards to attend but was limited in what she could disclose, while Edwards claims he was misled about the plea's scope and its impact on federal prosecution possibilities under the NPA. The document also reveals internal government discussions about the method of victim notification, ultimately delegating the task to the Palm Beach Police Department.

This document is a page from an OPR report detailing the failure of the USAO (specifically Acosta, Villafaña, and Sloman) to coordinate with the State Attorney's Office regarding victim notification for Jeffrey Epstein's June 2008 plea hearing. It reveals that despite a draft letter in December 2007 intended to provide a list of victims to the state, no evidence exists that the letter was sent, leaving state prosecutors (Krischer and Belohlavek) unaware of the federal identified victims. A footnote highlights that Epstein's attorneys explicitly asked the USAO not to inform victims of their rights under state charges.

The document also notes Menchel's concern that notifying victims might cause them to exaggerate stories to seek financial damages.
