masttitbate 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 oné of his employees or associates paid the victim in cash, 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 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 récruit another minor girl for EPSTEIN, he paid both the victim- recruiier and the new victim hundreds of dollars in cash. EPSTEIN knew that his victims were undetage, 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 undef the age of 18. b. During that same period, Victim-1 observed multiple floors of the Subject Premises and tiumerous individual rooms within the Subject Premises. Victim-1 has provided detailed In tligetings with the Government, Victim-1 has disclosed that, approximately a decade ago, she comttiitted marriage fraud in order to obtain a green card and, subsequently, U.S. citizenship. She has alo 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. Victith-1 is currently pursuing a civil damages claim against EPSTEIN for his sexual abuse of her. Infotination provided by Victim-1 has proven reliable and has been corroborated by independent evideiice, including documents and records obtained during the investigation and the accounts of othe victims whom Victim-1 has never met. 2017.08.02 EFTA00028487

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 duckie the Torso in EPSTEIN’s bathfoom in the Subject Premises. Accordingly, there is probable cause to believe that the Busts are c&troborating 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-1, appears to be consistent with Victith-1’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 Rootti. The paintings and ghotogeaphe 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 tefer 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”).
