It was a positive conversation centered mostly on what role they expect CEOS to be playing when they meet with us. I told him that all I want to do is help the process move forward, and if they think we best help the process by taking a fresh and objective look at the case and their arguments than that is what I want to do. I told him that if that's what they want - if that is what will help the process to move forward - then I don't think it's advisable for CEOS to partner with the USA° on the case. He wants to think about that (and probably talk to gjAgo- counsel about whether it is better to have us partnered in the case or just serve a review function) and he said get back to me later today. He said he's ready to set the meeting quickly. I'll let you know. Marie — I don't think we need the FBI either way. If someone disagrees, please let me know. I can ask for Jay's position on that as well if you like. From: Villafana, Ann Marie C.

Indeed, changing grand juries might suggest that something untoward occurred, which is not the case. Nor do I see a requirement to give a 404(6) type instruction. Let's not forget that the role of the grand is to investigate, and it is wholly appropriate that a grand jury in good faith pursued a line of investigathin that does not lead to indictment. That is a very different matter from presenting information pursuant to 404(b), to prove motive, lack of accident, etc. I share your instinct that just dropping six victims, and the draft proposed indictment, might call for some explanation, or at least acknowledgement, to the grand jury. It's always dicey, and not really desirable, to explain and share legal strategies with the grand jury. Perhaps you can simply tell them that the old draft proposed indictment is being withdrawn, and a different set of facts is being pursued, and ask them if they can set aside what they heard previously, and base a determination of probable cause solely on the new evidence. If any of them indicate inability to do so, perhaps they should be excused from consideration of this case; if that leaves you without a quorum, then you have a basis to go to a new grand jury.' I hope this helps; I'm available by phone as well. Carcrlime., EXHIBIT B-112 1546 08-80736-CV-MARRA P-014623 EFTA00225121 From: Vlllafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) Sent: Monday, February 25, 2008 9:59 AM To: Miller, Caroline (USAFLS) Subject: Question regarding use of Grand Jury Hi Caroline — I have received two conflicting points of view regarding this question, so I thought 1 should ask the expert. Here is my situation: I have been involved in a long-term investigation of a child exploitation case. Throughout the investigation, I have presented evidence and testimony to Grand Jury A. Some of that evidence and testimony related to six victims (of a total of 19 victims), including the live testimony of one of those victims. I also began presenting evidence related to what I called a "draft proposed indictment." For various reasons, the indictment has been delayed about 9 months. And, for other strategic reasons, we have decided to drop the six victims referenced above, and replaced them with a different six victims. The question is now raised as to whether I should continue presenting to Grand Jury A, with a 404(b)-type instruction related to the evidence of the six dropped victims and some sort of instruction regarding the initial "draft proposed indictment", or whether I should present to Grand Jury B, excluding any testimony regarding those six victims. One other consideration — Grand Jury A is due to expire in August, and I anticipate that the investigation will continue for quite some time after indictment. It is possible that the 6 dropped victims will be re-added in a superseding indictment. Thank you. A. Marie Villafaila Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.

Subject: Epstein all - I wanted to raise an issue with you regarding the presentation of the Epstein indictment. I have been the West Palm Beach Tuesday grand jury in the past, which has included presentation of testimony from A R. and agent testimony regarding girls who will no longer be referenced in the indictment. I have conferred with Karen Atkinson and Caroline Heck regarding whether to stay with the same grand jury or present to a different grand jury. They agree that I should present to the same grand jury with some sort of instruction regarding not relying on evidence/testimony regarding those girls. That is my intention. I would like to present on March I I Lb. Epstein will be in town on March 10th for his state court hearing and hopefully we will be able to keep track of his whereabouts until the following day. Karen is reviewing the package now, so it should be in Miami by Monday, March 31 Also, I invited Myesha to be present for the grand jury proceedings, but she is waiting to hear from Alice and Drew about her level of involvement in the case. She is available on that dater so, if Alice and Drew decide about this, she will be able to attend. Thank you. A. Mark Villafafia Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.

(USAFLS) Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 10:05 AM To: Braden, Myesha Subject: Epstein Hi Myesha — I won't even tell you about how today is starting off badly on this case (politics, of course, not facts). But, in any event, the word is that CEOS is going to undertake an "independent review" of the case and meet with Epstein's attorneys some time next week. My supervisor is finishing the review of the indictment package and I know she caught some typos. When I finish those revisions, I will e-mail to you the entire indictment package, and you can find out what Drew wants to look at. I have one real concern, however. As you know, there are several girls that are still unknown to the defense. I want to avoid any possibility that those names might be disclosed. Should I redact the names of all of the girls from the pros memos that I send to you? Thank you, Myesha. A. Marie Villafana Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.

(USAFLS) Subject: Confidential FYI From: Stoman, Jeff (USAFLS) Sent: Monday, February 25, 2008 7:43 PM To: JLetkowitz@kirkland.com Cc: Oosterbaan, Andrew Subject: Epstein Jay, The Section Chief of DOJ's Child Exploitation Obscenity Section (CEOS) notified me today that he will review the matter involving your client Jeffrey Epstein. The Section Chief has indicated that he is ready to proceed immediately, and I understand you are in the process of providing him this week with a summary of issues to be reviewed, and expect to meet with him next week. The Section Chief also indicated that you would be calling this Office regarding the upcoming March 3, 2008 court date in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, in and for Palm Beach County. As you know, the Agreement entered into by your client originally provided that the United States 1522 EXHIBIT B-11S 08-80736-CV-MARRA P-014630 EFTA00225125 Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida (this Office) would defer prosecution if your client pled guilty to enumerated state charges by October 26, 2007. Since then, that date has been postponed for a number of reasons. At this juncture, it would not be reasonable to keep the current March 3I date as a deadline for compliance with the Agreement. That said, this Office is very concerned about additional delays. Despite this concern, I want to assure you that if counsel for Mr. Epstein meets with CEOS next week (the week of March 31, this Office will extend the time for compliance with the Agreement to provide CEOS time to engage in a thorough review. It goes without saying that in the event that CEOS decides that a federal prosecution should not be undertaken against Mr. Epstein, this Office will close its investigation. However, should CEOS disagree with Mr. Epstein's position, Mr. Epstein shall have one week to abide by the terms and conditions of the September 24, 2007 Agreement as amended by letter from United States Attorney Acosta to Jay Lefkowitz.

(USAFLS) To: Weinstein, David (USAFLS) Cc: Senior, Robert (USAFLS); Atkinson, Karen (USAFLS); Garcia, Rolando (USAFLS) Sent: Thu Feb 21 15:56:01 2008 Subject: To the Civil Rights Chief Hi David - I was just perusing the U.S. Attorney's Manual looking for an answer on another case and I noticed that Section 9-75.030 (regarding Coordination of Child Sex Abuse cases) says that cases involving violations of 18 USC 1591 (related to child sex trafficking) are supposed to be coordinated with CEOS and the Civil Rights Division. According to Section 8-3.120, prior to presentation to the grand jury, the U.S. Attorney is supposed to advise the Civil Rights Division in writing of the following: (a) Identity of the targets of the investigation; (b) The factual allegations to be investigated; (c) The statutes which may have been violated; (I) The United States Attorney's assessment of the significance of the case and whether the case is one of "national interest," and (e) The U.S. Attorney's proposed staffing of the matter (including whether a Civil Rights Division attorney should be assigned to work directly on the matter). Here is my proposal for such a written notification: Dear : Pursuant to USAM Section 8-3.120, I write to inform you of an ongoing investigation of a child exploitation matter that may result in charges of violet' targe . estigat'— pstein, and a/k/a The inves'iga on as revea ed a effrey pstein would use hiss 1500 08-80736-CV-MARRA P-014633 EFTA00225128 assistants (Kellen, Marcinkova, and to arrange appointments with minors to engage in commercial sexual activity. ommunications were made via telephones. Once appointments were made, Epstein would travel to the Southern District of Florida, where he maintained a residence, and the minors would travel to his home in Palm Beach where the sexual activity would occur. The Office anticipates charges of violations of Title 18, united States Code, Sections 371, 2422, 2423, and 1591. The investigation of the case by the City of Palm Beach Police Department has resulted in press coverage because of the titillating nature of the facts, but we see this case as similar to other "sex tourism" cases charged by our office, and not a matter of "national interest" as' defined by the U.S. Attorney's Manual. With respect to staffing, the Office has consulted with the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, and we anticipate that the case will be staffed by at least one Assistant United States Attorney from our West Palm Beach office and at least one CEOS Attorney. If we determine that the case should be presented for an indictment, a copy will be provided to you. David - If you need any more info, please let me know. Also, the indictment is currently being reviewed by my supervisor. If you want to send the draft to Civil Rights now, please let me know. Thank you. A. Marie Villafana Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.
