This document is a Decision & Order by U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman denying Jeffrey Epstein's request for pretrial release and granting the Government's motion for remand (detention). The Court concludes that the Government has shown by clear and convincing evidence that Epstein poses a danger to the community, citing testimony from victims and evidence of potential witness tampering and non-compliance with sex offender registration. Additionally, the Court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that Epstein is a flight risk due to his vast wealth, international ties, and the potential for a lengthy prison sentence, and determines that the defense's proposed bail package is inadequate to mitigate these risks.

The first exhibit is a transcript of a January 18, 2011, SORA (Sex Offender Registration Act) hearing in New York State Court, where Epstein was classified as a Level 3 sex offender despite arguments from both the Defense and the Prosecution regarding the specifics of his Florida plea deal and the lack of other indictments. The second exhibit is a financial Asset Summary dated June 30, 2019, detailing Epstein's net worth of approximately $559 million, including cash, equities, hedge funds, and properties in New York, New Mexico, Florida, Paris, and the US Virgin Islands.

This document is page 19 of a court filing (Case 1:19-cr-00490) detailing Jeffrey Epstein's classification as a Level III sex offender in New York. It highlights a hearing (cited as 2011 in the footnote but 2018 in the text body) where Judge Ruth Pickholz was 'shocked' that Assistant DA Jennifer Gaffney joined Epstein's defense in arguing to reduce his offender status. The Judge denied the application, maintaining his requirement to report to police every 90 days.

DOJ-OGR-00000368.jpg

This document is a transcript page from a SORA (Sex Offender Registration Act) hearing for Jeffrey Epstein filed on July 15, 2019. Defense attorneys Jay Lefkowitz and Sandra Musumeci appear for Epstein, who is not present, while Jennifer Gaffney appears for the People. The discussion centers on a 'Level Three' recommendation from the board and the prosecution's hesitation to rely on the Florida probable cause affidavit because Florida only pursued one case despite multiple victims listed.
