Re: Jaffrey Epstein Dear Jay;

Several things have come to my attention that Seem contrary to your client intending ta abide by his obligations uder the Non-Prosecution A ereement. As you know, that agreement requires our Office to inform you of potential breaches to give you and your client the opportunity to respond before an indictment is filed. At this tire, I do not believe that the agreement has been breached; however, I have sufficient concerns that need to be addressed,

First, understand that private investigators working for Mr. Epstein have contacted victims to ask them whether any detectives or FBI agents have discussed a financial settlement with them, On one occasion, the private investigators told the parent of a victim that she should get an attorney for her daughter and she should do so right away. These actions are troublesome because the FRI agents legally are required to advise the victims of the resolution of the matter, which includes informing them that, as part of the resolution, that Mr, Epstein has agreed to pay damages in some circumstances. Furthetmore, Mr, Epstein well knows that we are in the process of selecting an attorney to represent the vietims and, but for the inordinate amount of time spent negotiating the Addendum, that attorney would already have been selected, Paragraph 7 of the Non-Prosecution Agreement explicitly provides that contact with the victims shall be through that counsel, Accordingly, please confirm that there will ba no further efforts to contact any victims until Judge Davis selects the attomey representative and that, thereafter, contact will be made only through that counsel.

Second, the Non-Prosecution Agreement requires Mr, Epstein to use his best efforts to enter his guilty plea and to be sentenced not later than October 26, 2007, Despite this obligation, the Oifice agreed that My, Epstein could postpone this deadline to November, but reiterated that My.
