RE: SDNY investigation

Hi John,

I hope you're doing well. Are you possibly available for a brief call on Monday?

Thanks very much,

Hi - I will be out of the office on Monday, but could do it any other day of the week. If [ ] Monday is a critical day, I could do a call on Monday evening BST - which would be mid-afternoon your time.

Let me know what works.

Thx,

John

In speaking with LEGAT colleagues about how to do this without disclosing the witness identity, they said the UK will want to know if the conduct is also a UK crime. So a few questions: is the victim a UK national; did the alleged conduct occur on UK soil; if the conduct occurred elsewhere, was the perp a UK national and the victim under age (I think it has to be under age 16)?

Also, what country is the victim currently in - England/Wales; Scotland, or N. Ireland (they each have their own procedures)?

Did the victim ever report the conduct to UK law enforcement?

Thx,

John

Thanks. Very helpful. Am I correct in assuming that you have not seen the statement she gave to the police? Also, do you have the names of the Met officers involved?

Is she OK with the Met Police knowing about her speaking with us?

You can just say I have approved for OIA.

Hi John,

Thank you. We have not interviewed this witness, so we have not confirmed the details about where the abuse happened, who the perpetrator was, or how old she was when it happened. What we do know is (1) she is currently in England, (2) she is a UK national, and (3) according to her lawyer, she recently made a statement to the Met Police reporting some sort of past abuse by Jeffrey Epstein (and not necessarily the full scope of the information she may have in connection with our investigation), so we would be open to the possibility of sharing her name with the Met Police if, in your view, that was necessary.

We are preparing travel paperwork on our end, and will try to get this moving quickly. Thanks so much for your guidance on this.

Best,

HI John —just got your message. I'm at whenever you have a moment. Thanks!
