This document is page 5 of a legal letter addressed to the Honorable Mark Filip on May 19, 2008, arguing against the federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. The text utilizes testimony from redacted witnesses to claim that no interstate commerce laws were violated, that the women lied about their ages (claiming to be 18), that no coercion or force was used, and that encounters were often non-sexual massages. It also critiques the conduct of federal prosecutors and the terms of the deferred prosecution agreement.
