SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK) ss.:
being duly sworn, deposes and says:
I. Introduction
A. Affiant
I. I have been a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") since
2012. As such, I am a "federal law enforcement officer' within the meaning of Federal Rule of
Criminal Procedure 41(a)(2)(C), that is, a government agent engaged in enforcing the criminal
laws and duly authorized by the Attorney General to request a search warrant. I have been
employed by the FBI for three and a half years, and I am currently assigned to investigate violations
of criminal law relating to the sexual exploitation of children. I have gained expertise in this area
through classroom training and daily work related to these types of investigations. As part of my
responsibilities, I have been involved in the investigation of sex trafficking cases, and have been
involved in search warrants for physical premises.
2. I make this Affidavit in support of an application pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal
Rules of Criminal Procedure for a second warrant to search the premises specified below (the
"Subject Premises") for the purpose of seizing 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 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.
IL Probable Cause and the First Warrant
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
The Indictment and Victim-1
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 massage table, where she would perform a massage on EPSTEIN.

EFTA01262866

. Following each encounter, EPSTEIN
or one of his employees or associates paid the victim in cash.
9. As set forth in paragraphs 12 through 13 ofE xhibit A, to further facilitate his ability
to abuse minor girls in New York, JEFFREY EPSTEIN 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 have interviewed Victim-1.'
I know from my conversations with other law enforcement officers who have interviewed 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-I has provided detailed
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-1 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
2017.08.02 CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00000110
EFTA_00114194
EFTA01262867

descriptions of certain aspects of the interior of the Subject Premises, including Victim-1's
memory of specific details regarding the layout, furnishings, decorations, and floor pattern of
various areas within the Subject Premises.
c. In particular, Victim-1 observed that a bathroom in the residence contained what
appeared to be a bust of a human torso (the "Torso"). Victim-1 believed that the Torso was
possibly a type of sex toy.
d. In addition, Victim-I recalled observing what appeared to be a taxidermied dog in
a living space in the Subject Premises.
e. Victim-1 recalled that EPSTEIN typically abused her in a room she described as a
"massage room," (the "Massage Room"), which contained a massage table, and was decorated
with artwork depicting naked women, hung on walls that appeared to be adorned with fabric.
f. Victim-I has not been in the Subject Premises since approximately 2005.
The July 6, 2019 Search Warrant of the Subject Premises
11. On or about July 6, 2019, the Honorable Barbara Moses, United States Magistrate
Judge, signed a search warrant authorizing a search of the Subject Premises. The search warrant
is attached as Exhibit B and incorporated by reference herein.
12. At approximately 6 p.m. on or about July 6, 2019, law enforcement officers (the
"Search Team") commenced executing the search warrant at the Subject Premises; I joined the
Search Team thereafter. While inside the Subject Premises, I observed the following, among other
things:
a. Inside a closet within the entryway to a bathroom in the Subject Premises, I
observed what appear to be two busts of female human torsos, from their upper pelvis to the neck.
In addition, inside the bathroom, I observed a third bust, which appears to depict a female body
5
2017.08.02
CONFIDENTIAL SONY_GM_00000111
EFTA_00114195
EFTA01262868

from the ribcage to the clavicle (collectively, (the "Busts"). The Busts do not appear to be designed
for use as sex toys, and appear instead to be artwork. Nevertheless, based on my conversations
with law enforcement officers who have interviewed Victim-1, I have learned that the Busts appear
to be generally consistent with Victim-1's description of observing the Torso in EPSTEIN's
bathroom in the Subject Premises. Accordingly, there is probable cause to believe that the Busts
are corroborating evidence of Victim-1's description of the Subject Premises.
b. Inside the Subject Premises, I observed a room that, based on my conversations
with law enforcement officers who have interviewed Victim-I, appears to be consistent with
Victim-I's descriptions of the Massage Room. The room contained a table covered with a sheet,
and appears to be a massage table. The walls appear to be covered in a type of felt-like tapestry
fabric. I further observed two paintings and three photographs hanging on the walls of the Massage
Room. The paintings and photographs depict nude females. One of the photographs appears to
depict a nude girl. Based on my training and experience investigating crimes involving the sexual
exploitation of children, the girl appears to be approximately 15 to 20 years old.
c. Inside the Subject Premises, inside a closet adjacent to a bathroom, I observed a
shelf that appears to contain several black binders, with labels on the spine of each binder. In
particular, one of the binders is marked with a series of labels, one of which reads: "PB Girls."
Given that the Indictment charges EPSTEIN with participating in a conspiracy to engage in sex
trafficking of minor girls in both Palm Beach, Florida and New York, I believe that "PB Girls"
may refer to minor victims in Palm Beach, Florida.
d. Inside the Subject Premises, in what appears to be EPSTEIN's office, on or about
the second floor of the Subject Premises, I observed what appears to be a taxidermied dog (the
"Dog"). Based on my conversations with law enforcement officers who have interviewed
6
2017.08.02
CONFIDENTIAL SONY_GM_00000112
EFTA_00114196
EFTA01262869

Victim-I, the Dog appears to be consistent with Victim-I's description of observing a taxidermied
dog in the Subject Premises.
e. Inside the Subject Premises, I observed in plain view several sheets of stationary,
with letterhead marked "Jeffrey Epstein."
13. After observing the foregoing items, the Search Team stopped the search and froze
the scene in order to seek a new search warrant.
III. Conclusion and Ancillary Provisions
14. Based on the foregoing, given that several items described by Victim-1 as being
present in the Subject Premises in 2005 appear to be currently in the Subject Premises,
I respectfully submit there is probable cause to believe that evidence of the Subject Offenses, and
in particular the items described in Attachment A, 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.
15. The Search Team is currently at the Subject Premises, securing the location, and
would anticipate executing the requested search warrant immediately. However, given the late
hour, it is anticipated that the Search Team would commence executing the search warrant after

circumstances demonstrate good cause to execute the warrant after 10 p.m.

JEFFREY EPSTEIN, 19 CREVI 490
Defendant.

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
SDNY_GM_00000116
CONFIDENTIAL
EFTA 00114200
EFTA01262873

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_00000117
EFTA 00114201
EFTA01262874

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_00000118
EFTA 00114202
EFTA01262875

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
. EPSTEIN typically would also
10. In connection with each sexual encounter, JEFFREY
EPSTEIN, the defendant, or one of his employees or associates,
p'aid 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_00000119
EFTA 00114203
EFTA01262876

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-recruiter and 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_00000120
EFTA 00114204
EFTA01262877

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 minor 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.
CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00000121
EFIA_00114205
EFTA01262878

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_00000122
EFTA 00114206
EFTA01262879

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.
STATUTORY ALLEGATIONS
20. From at least in or about 2002, up to and
including in or about 2005, in the Southern District of New York
