This document is a page from a court transcript dated July 24, 2019, detailing a bail hearing. The prosecution, represented by Mr. Rossmiller, argues that the defendant should be detained, citing the defense's failure to provide detailed financial information and the legal presumption of detention for sex trafficking charges, which is strengthened by the defendant's prior sex offense conviction. The judge interacts with the prosecutor to clarify the government's burden of proof in the matter.

This document is page 29 of a court order filed on July 18, 2019, in the case against Jeffrey Epstein (Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB). The Court rules Epstein's proposed bail package inadequate, primarily because the defense failed to provide audited financial statements or an affidavit from Epstein, submitting only a 'cursory' summary claiming assets of $559,120,954. The judge criticizes the defense's claim that they could not produce accurate financials quickly, calling the excuse 'disingenuous' for someone of Epstein's wealth and financial experience.

A transcript page from a July 16, 2019 court hearing (Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB). Prosecutor Rossmiller argues that the previous non-prosecution agreement was limited to the Southern District of Florida and that current charges involve New York victims, distinct from previous conduct. The Judge interrupts to object to the minimization of 'statutory rape' with the word 'only'.

This document is a page from a court transcript dated July 16, 2019, regarding Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB. Defense attorney Mr. Weingarten requests an adjournment of a detention hearing until Thursday, which the Court grants. Prosecutor Mr. Rossmiller accepts the delay but provides a rebuttal argument, asserting that federal law charges trafficking rather than 'child prostitution' because children cannot consent to sex, and noting that force is not required for underage victims.

This document is page 19 of a court transcript from Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB, filed on July 16, 2019. Defense attorney Mr. Weingarten requests an adjournment of the detention hearing to the end of the week to prepare a written bail package, noting they had just met the client that day.

DOJ-OGR-00000422.jpg
This is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB) filed on July 16, 2019, concerning a bond hearing. Defense attorney Mr. Weingarten argues that while there may have been prostitution, there was no violence, coercion, or trafficking involved. The Judge (The Court) counters this argument by noting that if the women involved were under 18, they were legally incapable of consent, making the acts rape.
DOJ-OGR-00000420.jpg
This document is a transcript from a court hearing (Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB) filed on July 16, 2019. Attorney Mr. Weingarten argues before the Court that the Florida nonprosecution agreement should stand, asserting that a plea deal cannot be undone simply because prosecutors failed to notify victims, provided the defendant fulfilled their obligations (prison time, restitution, registration). Weingarten emphasizes that voiding such deals would make it impossible for defense attorneys to negotiate future agreements.
DOJ-OGR-00000416.jpg
This document is a page from a court transcript dated July 16, 2019, detailing a pretrial detention hearing. A government representative, Mr. Rossmiller, argues for the defendant's detention by describing evidence found at his home, including a massage room consistent with victim accounts and electronic disks labeled with incriminating titles. Mr. Rossmiller concludes that the defendant represents a continuing danger to the community and a flight risk, justifying detention pending trial.
DOJ-OGR-00000410.jpg

The judge asks the prosecution (Mr. Rossmiller) if other defendants are anticipated; Rossmiller replies that no superseding indictments are imminent but are possible.

DOJ-OGR-00000397.jpg
This is page 11 of a court transcript filed on July 16, 2019. Defense attorney Mr. Weinberg argues to The Court that the discussion should concern the scope of Epstein's Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA), not its legality.

DOJ-OGR-00000395.jpg
This document is page 9 of a court transcript from July 16, 2019, in the case United States v. Epstein (SDNY).

Defense attorney Mr. Weinberg counters that the NPA provided Epstein with immunity for the conduct currently being prosecuted, including interstate travel and communications, and asserts that Epstein fulfilled the terms of that agreement.
DOJ-OGR-00000393.jpg
This document is page 7 of a court transcript from Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB (USA v. Epstein) filed on July 16, 2019.

Prosecutor Mr. Rossmiller responds that the conduct is within the statute of limitations and denies allegations of a conspiracy within the Department of Justice.

DOJ-OGR-00000378.jpg
This document is page 12 of a transcript from a SORA (Sex Offender Registration Act) hearing filed on July 15, 2019. The dialogue involves a judge, prosecutor Ms. Gaffney, and defense attorney Ms. Musumeci discussing why Jeffrey Epstein must register as a sex offender in New York despite the specific acts (relations with a 17-year-old) not being registrable offenses under NY law; the requirement stems from reciprocity with his Florida offense. The Judge remarks that Epstein must register every 90 days or 'give up his New York home.'
DOJ-OGR-00000377.jpg
This document is a page from a court transcript of a SORA (Sex Offender Registration Act) hearing, filed as an exhibit in July 2019. The dialogue involves a prosecutor (Ms. Gaffney), a defense attorney (Ms. Musumeci), and the Judge discussing the age of a victim (disputed between 16 and 17) during her sexual relationship with the defendant. The defense argues that while the defendant pleaded guilty to 'under 18' in Florida, New York SORA laws require clear evidence of the victim being under 17 for registration as a sex offender.
DOJ-OGR-00000376.jpg
This document is a page from a transcript of a SORA (Sex Offender Registration Act) hearing filed on July 15, 2019.

DOJ-OGR-00000375.jpg
This document is page 9 of a transcript from a SORA (Sex Offender Registration Act) hearing filed on July 15, 2019. The defense argues that the original Florida prosecutor, Lanna Belohlavek, stated there were 'no real victims' and that the conduct was 'commercial' and voluntary, lacking force. Ms. Musumeci addresses the court regarding the Florida investigation's conclusion that the offense was non-registrable at the time, though the Judge counters that it is registrable in the current jurisdiction.
