Here are the revised documents with the 403 charge. I have gotten some negative reaction to the assault charge with IEEE) as the victim, since she is considered one of the main perpetrators of the offenses that we planned to charge in the indictm; Can you talk to Mr. Epstein about a young woman name We have hearsay evidence that she traveled on Mr. Epstein's airplane when she was under 18, in around the 2000 or 2001 time frame. That falls outside the statute of limitations, but perhaps we could constract a 371 conspiracy around that? Let me know what you think. Thank you. 08-80736-CV-MARRA RFP WPB 000235 EFTA00081263
