I. Introduction
A. Affiant
1. I have been a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBP") since
2017. During that time, I have participated in numerous investigations and prosecutions of crimes
against children, including the sex trafficking of minors. I have also participated in the execution
of multiple search warrants.
2. I make this Affidavit in support of an application pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal
Rules of Criminal Procedure for a warrant to search the premises specified below (the "Subject
Premises") for the purpose of photographing, video-recording or otherwise documenting the
appearance of its interior, and to seize the items and information described in Attachment A. This
affidavit is based upon my personal knowledge; my review of documents and other evidence; and
my conversations with other law enforcement personnel. Because this affidavit is being submitted
for the limited purpose of establishing probable cause, it does not include all the facts that I have
learned during the course of my investigation. Where the contents of documents and the actions,
statements, and conversations of others are reported herein, they are reported in substance and in
part, except where otherwise indicated.

B. The Subject Premises
3. The Subject Premises are particularly described as a nearly 19,000 square foot
multi-story, single-family residence located at 9 East 71st Street, New York, New York, and
include all locked and closed containers found therein. As detailed further herein, the Subject
Premises is believed to be owned, possessed and controlled by JEFFREY EPSTEIN, a target
subject of this investigation. A photograph of the front entrance to the Subject Premises is included
below:

C. The Target Subject and the Subject Offenses
4. The Target Subject of this investigation is JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
5. For the reasons detailed below, I believe that there is probable cause to believe that
the Subject Premises contain evidence, fruits, and instrumentalities of violations of Title 18, United
States Code, Section 1591 (sex trafficking of minors) and Title 18, United States Code, Section
371 (sex trafficking conspiracy) (the "Subject Offenses") by the Target Subject

II. Probable Cause
A. Probable Cause Regarding the Target Subject's Commission of the
Subject Offenses
6. On or about July 2, 2019, a grand jury in this District returned an Indictment
charging JEFFREY EPSTEIN with the Subject Offenses. A copy of the Indictment is attached
hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated by reference.
B. Probable Cause Justifying Search of the Subject Premises
7. As set forth in Exhibit A, from at least in or about 2002, up to and including at least
in or about 2005, JEFFREY EPSTEIN sexually abused multiple minor girls in the Southern
District of New York and elsewhere. During that time and continuing to the present, EPSTEIN
possessed and controlled the Subject Premises, which is described in Exhibit A as "the New York
Residence."
8. As further set forth in paragraphs 8 through 10 of Exhibit A, from at least in or
about 2002, up to and including at least in or about 2005, EPSTEIN sexually abused numerous
minor victims at the Subject Premises. In particular, and as alleged in the Indictment, when a
victim arrived at the Subject Premises, she would be escorted to a room inside the Subject Premises
with a marage table, where she would perform a massage on EPSTEIN. The victims, who were
as young as 14 years of age, were told by EPSTEIN or other individuals to partially or fully undress
before beginning the "massage." During the encounter, EPSTEIN would escalate the nature and
scope of physical contact with his victim to include, among other things, sex acts such as groping
and direct and indirect contact with the victims' genitals. EPSTEIN typically would also
masturbate during these sexualized encounters, ask victims to touch him while he masturbated,
and touch victims' genitals with his hands or with sex toys. Following each encounter, EPSTEIN
or one of his employees or associates paid the victim in cash.

EFTA_0O114132
EFTA01262808

9. As set forth in paragraphs 12 through 13 of Exhibit A, to further facilitate his ability
to abuse minor girls in New York, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, asked and enticed certain
of his victims to recruit additional minor girls to perform "massages" and similarly engage in sex
acts with EPSTEIN. When a victim would recruit another minor girl for EPSTEIN, he paid both
the victim-recruiter and the new victim hundreds of dollars in cash. EPSTEIN knew that his
victims were underage, including because certain victims told him their age.
10. One of the victims identified in paragraph 22 of Exhibit A is Victim-1. As part of
the FBI's investigation of EPSTEIN, other law enforcement officers and I have interviewed
Victim-1.1 I know from my personal participation of interviews with Victim-1, my conversations
with other law enforcement officers who have interviewed Victim-1, and my review of notes and
reports of other interviews with Victim-1 that Victim-1 has provided the following information, in
substance and in part:
a. Between approximately 2002 and 2005, EPSTEIN sexually abused Victim-1 on
multiple occasions in the Subject Premises. This sexual abuse all occurred when Victim-1 was
under the age of 18.
b. During that same period, Victim-1 observed multiple floors of the Subject Premises
and numerous individual rooms within the Subject Premises. Victim-1 has provided detailed
descriptions of certain aspects of the interior of the Subject Premises, including Victim-1 's
In meetings with the Government, Victim-1 has disclosed that, approximately a decade ago, she
committed marriage fraud in order to obtain a green card and, subsequently, U.S. citizenship. She
has also disclosed personal substance abuse, primarily involving the abuse of prescription drugs,
during various periods between the early 2000s and 2019. Victim-I has also disclosed having
worked for approximately a year at a "happy-ending" massage parlor, performing paid sex. acts.
Victim-1 is currently pursuing a civil damages claim against EPSTEIN for his sexual abuse of her.
Information provided by Victim-1 has proven reliable and has been corroborated by independent
evidence, including documents and records obtained during the investigation and the accounts of
other victims whom Victim-1 has never met
4

EFTA_00114133
EFTA01262809

memory of specific details regarding the layout, furnishings, decorations, and floor pattern of
various areas within the Subject Premises.
11. I know from my review of publicly available corporate and property records that at
all times relevant to the Subject Offenses as alleged in the Indictment, the Subject Premises was
owned by Nine East 71st Street Corporation (the "Corporation"). The President of the Corporation
is listed as JEFFREY EPSTEIN, and no other officers or occupants are identified on the
Corporation paperwork. In or around December 2011, the Subject Premises was transferred from
the Corporation to another corporate entity, Maple, Inc., which is registered in the U.S. Virgin
Islands, where EPSTEIN was then known to and continues to reside. Though no officer of Maple,
Inc., is identified in the transfer paperWork, the signature of both the buyer and seller in the
transaction appear to be the same. Moreover, the deed lists the consideration for the transfer of
the Subject Premises as $10, an amount facially inconsistent with a fair market transfer to a third
party
12. I know from my participation in this investigation that EPSTEIN has continued to
possess and control the Subject Premises from at least in or about 2002 to the present. In particular,
I know from my review of Sex Offender Registration records that EPSTEIN presently lists the
Subject Premises as one of his residences. Moreover, as described in paragraph 11, above,
although ownership of Subject Premises was transferred from one corporate entity to another in
December 2011, both corporations appear to be under EPSTEIN's control, and EPSTEIN appears
to remain the sole owner and occupant of the Subject Premises.
13. Additionally, although Victim-1 has not been in the. Subject Premises since in or
around 2005, based on my review of publicly available records maintained by the New York City
Department of Buildings ("DOB"), it does not appear that there have been any significant or
5
2017.08.02
CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00000050
EFIA_00114134
EFTA01262810

structural renovations to the interior of the Subject Premises since that time. In particular, the
DOB reflects only three approved alteration permits for the Subject Premises, one in or around
2011 which authorized facade restoration but expressly noted that there would be "no change to
occupancy, use egress or bulk," and two permitting the "installation of heavy duty sidewalk shed"
outside of the Subject Premises at various points, but similarly noting that there would be "no
changes in use, egress or occupancy." As such, while it is possible that certain interior decorations
have changed since 2005, it is probable that structural components of the interior, such as
Victim-1's description of the layout of rooms and floors, among other details, would remain the
same.

DI. Conclusion and Ancillary Provisions
14. Based on the foregoing, I respectfully submit that there is probable cause to believe
that photographing, video-recording, and otherwise documenting the appearance of the interior of
the Subject Premises, and seizing the items described in Attachment A, will yield evidence of the
Subject Offenses. In particular, evidence depicting the interior of the Subject Premises and
reflecting the occupancy, ownership, layout, furnishings, decorations, and floor pattern of the
Subject Premises will corroborate Victim-1's account of EPSTEIN's commission of the Subject
Offenses. I further submit that there is probable cause to believe that such evidence will be located
within the Subject Premises and therefore request the court to issue a warrant to seize the items
and information specified in Attachment A to this affidavit and to the Search and Seizure Warrant.

COUNT ONE
(Sex Trafficking conspiracy)
The Grand Jury charges:
OVERVIEW
1. As set forth herein, over the course of many
years, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, sexually exploited and
abused dozens of minor girls at his homes in Manhattan, New
York, and Palm Beach, Florida, among other locations.
2. In particular, from at least in or about 2002, up
to and including at least in or about 2005, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the
defendant, enticed and recruited, and caused to be enticed and
recruited, minor girls to visit his mansion in Manhattan, New
York (the "New York Residence") and his estate in Palm Beach,
Florida (the "Palm Beach Residence") to engage in sex acts with
him, after which he would give the victims hundreds of dollars
in cash. Moreover, and in order to maintain and increase his
supply of victims, EPSTEIN also paid certain of his victims to
recruit additional girls to be similarly abused by EPSTEIN. In
CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00000055
EFTA_00114B9
EFTA01262815

this way, EPSTEIN created a vast network of underage victims for
him to sexually exploit in. locations including New York and
Palm Beach.
3. The victims described herein were as young as 14
years old at the time they were abused by JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the
defendant, and were, for various reasons, often particularly
vulnerable to exploitation. EPSTEIN intentionally sought out
minors and knew that many of his victims were in fact under the
age of 18, including because, in some instances, minor victims
expressly told him their age.
4. In creating and maintaining this network of minor
victims in multiple states to sexually abuse and exploit,
JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, worked and conspired with
others, including employees and associates who facilitated his
conduct by, among other things, contacting victims and
scheduling their sexual encounters with EPSTEIN at the New York
Residence and at the Palm Beach Residence.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
5. During all time periods charged in this
Indictment, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, was a financier with
multiple residences in the continental United States, including
the New York Residence and the Palm Beach Residence.
6. Beginning in at least 2002, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the
defendant, enticed and recruited, and.caused to be enticed and
CONFIDENTIAL
SDNY_GM_00000056
EFTA_00I 14140
EFTA01262816

recruited, dozens of minor girls to engage in sex acts with him,
after which EPSTEIN paid the victims hundreds of dollars in
cash, at the New York Residence and the Palm Beach Residence.
7: In both New York and Florida, JEFFREY EPSTEIN,
the defendant, perpetuated this abuse in similar ways. Victims
were initially recruited to provide "massages" to EPSTEIN, which
would be performed nude or partially nude, would become
increasingly sexual in nature, and would typically include one
or more sex acts. EPSTEIN paid his victims hundreds of dollars
in cash for each encounter. Moreover, EPSTEIN actively
encouraged certain of his victims to recruit additional girls to
be similarly sexually abused. EPSTEIN incentivized his victims
to become recruiters by paying these victim-recruiters hundreds
of dollars for each girl that they brought to EPSTEIN. In so
doing, EPSTEIN maintained a steady supply of new victims to
exploit.
The New York Residence
8. At all times relevant to this Indictment, JEFFREY
EPSTEIN, the defendant, possessed and controlled a multi-story
private residence on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York,
i.e., the New York Residence. Between at least in or about 2002
and in or about 2005, EPSTEIN abused numerous minor victims at
the New York Residence by causing these victims to be recruited
to engage in paid sex acts with him.
CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00000057
EFTA_00114141
EFTA01262817

9. When a victim arrived at the New York Residence,
she typically would be escorted to a room with a massage table,
where she would perform a massage on JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the
defendant. The victims, who were as young as 14 years of age,
were told by EPSTEIN or other individuals to partially or fully
undress before beginning the "massage." During the encounter,
EPSTEIN would escalate the nature and scope of physical contact
with his victim to include, among other things, sex acts such as
groping and direct and indirect contact with the victim's
genitals. EPSTEIN typically would also masturbate during these
sexualized encounters, ask victims to touch him while he
masturbated, and touch victims' genitals with his hands or with
sex toys.
10. In connection with each sexual encounter, JEFFREY
EPSTEIN, the defendant, or one of his employees or associates,
paid the victim in cash. Victims typically were paid hundreds
of dollars in cash for each encounter.
11. JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, knew that many of
his New York victims were underage, including because certain
victims told him their age. Further, once these minor victims
were recruited, many were abused by EPSTEIN on multiple
subsequent occasions at the New York Residence. EPSTEIN
sometimes personally contacted victims to schedule appointments
at the New York Residence. In other instances, EPSTEIN directed
CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00000058
EFTA_OOI 14142
EFTA01262818

employees and associates, including a New York-based employee
("Employee-1"), to communicate with victims via phone to arrange
for these victims to return to the New York Residence for
additional sexual encounters with EPSTEIN.
12. Additionally, and to further facilitate his
ability to abuse minor girls in New York, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the
defendant, asked and enticed certain of his victims to recruit
additional girls to perform "massages" and similarly engage in
sex acts with EPSTEIN. When a victim would recruit another girl
for EPSTEIN, he paid both the victim-recruitera nd the new
victim hundreds of dollars in cash. Through these victim-
recruiters, EPSTEIN gained access to and was able to abuse
dozens of additional minor girls.
13. In particular, certain recruiters brought dozens
of additional minor girls to the New York Residence to give
massages to and engage in sex acts with JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the
defendant. EPSTEIN encouraged victims to recruit additional
girls by offering to pay these victim-recruiters for every
additional girl they brought to EPSTEIN. When a victim-
recruiter accompanied a new minor victim to the New York
Residence, both the victim-recruiter and the new minor victim
were paid hundreds of dollars by EPSTEIN for each encounter. In
addition, certain victim-recruiters routinely scheduled these
CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00000059
EFTA_OOI14143
EFTA01262819

encounters through Employee-1, who sometimes asked the
recruiters to bring a specific minor girl for EPSTEIN.
The Palm Beach Residence
14. In addition to recruiting and abusing miner girls
in New York, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, created a similar
network of minor girls to victimize in Palm Beach, Florida,
where EPSTEIN owned, possessed and controlled another large
residence, i.e., the Palm Beach Residence. EPSTEIN frequently
traveled from New York to Palm Beach by private jet, before
which an employee or associate would ensure that minor victims
were available for encounters upon his arrival in Florida.
15. At the Palm Beach Residence, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the
defendant, engaged in a similar course of abusive conduct.
When a victim initially arrived at the Palm Beach Residence, she
would be escorted to a room, sometimes by an employee of
EPSTEIN's, including, at times, two assistants ("Employee-2" and'
"Employee-3") who, as described herein, Were also responsible
for scheduling sexual encounters with minor victims. Once
inside, the victim would provide a nude or'semi-nude massage for
EPSTEIN, who would himself typically be naked. During these
encounters, EPSTEIN would escalate the nature and scope of the
physical contact to include sex acts such as groping and direct
and indirect contact with the victim's genitals. EPSTEIN would
also typically masturbate during these encounters, ask victims •
CONFIDENTIAL SONY_GM_00000060
EFTA_OOI14144
EFTA01262820

to touch him while he masturbated, and touch victims' genitals
with his hands or with sex toys.
16. In connection with each sexual encounter, JEFFREY
EPSTEIN, the defendant, or one of his employees or associates,
paid the victim in cash. Victims typically were paid hundreds
of dollars for each encounter.
17. JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, knew that certain
of his victims were underage, including because certain victims
told him their age. In addition, as with New York-based
victims, many Florida victims, once recruited, were abused by
JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, on multiple additional
occasions.
18. JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, who during the
relevant time period was frequently in New York, would arrange
for Employee-2 or other employees to contact victims by phone in
advance of EPSTEIN's travel to Florida to ensure appointments
were scheduled for when he arrived. In particular, in certain
instances, Employee-2 placed phone calls to minor victims in
Florida to schedule encounters at the Palm Beach Residence. At
the time of certain of those phone calls, EPSTEIN and Employee-2
were in New York, New York. Additionally, certain of the
individuals victimized at the Palm Beach Residence were
contacted by phone by Employee-3 to schedule these encounters.
CONFIDENTIAL
SDNY_GM_00000061
EFTA_OO114145
EFTA01262821

19. Moreover, as in New York, to ensure a steady
stream of minor victims, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, asked
and enticed certain victims in Florida to recruit other girls to
engage in sex acts. EPSTEIN paid hundreds of dollars to victim-
recruiters for each additional girl they brought to the Palm
Beach Residence.
