Date: February 24-26, 2017

Location: Tempe Mission Palms Hotel, Tempe, Arizona

Event: Arizona State University Origins Project Workshop on Artificial Intelligence

Possible Victims: gave their names as " " and " and appeared to be 15-16 years old, of Eastern European origin

Summary: Lawrence Krauss invited Jeffrey Epstein to the origins project workshop, where he appeared at breakfast in a robe with two young Eastern European girls, who witnesses say looked to be 15-16. The girls were on either side of him, stroking him during breakfast. Epstein was invited by Krauss as a major donor to the project. This was reported to Arizona State University in the summer of 2018 during the title IX investigation into Krauss, but our complaints about Epstein's behavior were never addressed. Epstein had previously been invited to a students-only pizza party for ASU students as well, to which he also brought a young woman (the Noam Chomsky talk at Gammage auditorium on March 22, 2015. Photos of him at the event are on file at ASU)

I tried to report this via the FBI tip site, but it appeared to not go through. I hope this will help in the event these girls come forward and need evidence to corroborate their experiences. I feel that at least some of the attendants must have photos of them, and ASU has all the records of the event details, including the sign-in sheet where the girls' names and signatures are.
