Dear Mr

Thank you for your prompt response.

My question is:

Have the appropriate authorities been inotified about Mr Epstein's sightings?

I informed Mr. of an incident brought to my attention earlier this month.

Mr Epstein (65) is a level 3 registered sex offender and has been sighted several times riding a bicycle on the Palm Beach bike path accompanied by a very young girl. Age unknown, caucasian, brunette, wearing a ponytail. Source claims the girl does not look older than 18.

Mr. Epstein does not have children, grandchildren or young neices.

The source is very afraid to call police directly and asked me to do so. I gave the details to Mr.

EFTA00100413

When I contacted the Palm Beach police dept last week they had no knowledge of the incident.

This is the third sighting in a 6 month period.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Respectfully yours,

Dear Mr.

Thank you. Yes, the information I provided l via text stands. The only addition is a date: extended to include February 21, 2019.

In December 2018, there was an earlier sighting (and the first to my knowledge) which I reported to former PB Chief of Police, Mr. led the original Epstein investigation, in 2005.

Mr. =mentioned there are cameras on the PB bike path and that registered offenders are not allowed on the bike paths accompanied or unaccompanied, in the island ofPalm Beach. A sighting of an offender according to Mr. would make Mr. Epstein's incident a police matter ancisaect to investigation. He said the video tapes are usually reviewed every 3 months and then erased. Mr. was uncertain if the PB police would still have the video of the November 2018 sightings.

My questions are:

I. Why would an offender and/or predator with a criminal record (understand there is a difference in the degree of culpability and risk) be allowed in any area (park, bike paths, school, etc.) where children congregate?

2. Would a sighting in an area where children congregate be sufficient cause for a police investigation or arrest given danger a serial offender/predator poses to children and adolescents? Specifically a serial offender/predator.

EFTA00100412

3. Federal and state laws differ however, could it be possible when investigating and prosecuting a predator/offender with a prior criminal record, that federal and state laws concur in the prosecution of the predator for the safety of the child/adolescent?

Thank you.

Thanks,
