But now investment whiz Jeffrey Epstein's darkest personal secrets have allegedly been bared in an explosive, seamy prostitution case involving underage girls. Instead of marveling at his stock-market acumen, Epstein's celebrity friends are now hearing sordid stories about his alleged obsession with getting massages in his Florida mansion from young girls - one allegedly just 14 years old. The tawdry tale came to light when Epstein, 53, was busted in Florida on July 23 after a grand jury indicted him on a single felony charge of solicitation of prostitution. The grand jury declined to indict the silver-haired moneyman on charges of sexual contact with minors. But a bitter rift between Palm Beach cops and prosecutors over how to handle the case has put Epstein at risk of more serious charges. The FBI is weighing whether to investigate his alleged contacts with underage girls. https://nypost.com/2006/08/14/mystery-moguls-teen-sex-secret-bared-in-probe/ 1/8 Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR Document 238-18 Filed 07/25/23 Page 4 of 6 4/4/23, 4 :50 PM MYSTERY MOGUL'S TEEN-SEX SECRET BARED IN PROBE Gerald Lefcourt, one of Epstein's high-powered lawyers, says his client is innocent and that his polygraph test helps prove it. "There was no sexual contact with anyone underage," Lefcourt said, arguing that that has been "proved beyond a reasonable doubt" by evidence lawyers gave authorities. Epstein owns what reportedly is Manhattan's largest home - a 51,000-square-foot Upper East Side house - plus a sprawling New Mexico ranch and a 100-acre private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. He also owns a two-story pink mansion in Palm Beach, which became the focus of a nearly yearlong police investigation. Palm Beach police records show that on March 15, 2005, a 14-year-old girl alleged she had visited Epstein's house a month before at the behest of an older friend. The girl said that while at Epstein's pad, she partially stripped and gave Epstein a massage. At one point, "Epstein then pulled out a purple vibrator" and used it on her, police records claim. Epstein eventually paid the girl $300, and she left, the records allege. The allegation ignited a probe that ultimately led to five young women who said Epstein had masturbated and touched their genitals during massages, the records state. Some girls initially were recruited by a woman named documents say. https:l/nypost.com/2006/08/14/mystery-moguls-teen-sex-secret-bared-in-probe/ 2/8 Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR Document 238-18 Filed 07/25/23 Page 5 of 6 4/4/23, 4:50 PM MYSTERY MOGUL'S TEEN-SEX SECRET BARED IN PROBE When cops confronted the 20-year-old-he records show, she admitted that she had been recruited at age 17 by a friend to give Epstein a massage while she was naked. "He tried to touch me, and I stopped him,"-alleged. Epstein allegedly paid her $200 for the rubdown.

"He told her the younger the better," the records claim. who described herself as "like a Heidi Fleiss" - alleges that, over time, she brought six girls who were between 14 and 16 to Epstein's house, the police records state.

According to one girl, "Epstein asked for her real age, [and she] stated she was 16. Epstein advised her not to tell anyone her real age," the records say.

Epstein would then watch the women have sex and take photos of their trysts to display at home, the records claim. declined to comment. The teen told cops she always refused to have intercourse with Epstein, the report states. But one time, she told cops, Epstein allegedly grabbed her and forced himself on her. https://nypost.com/2006/08/14/mystery-moguls-teen-sex-secret-bared-in-probe/ 3/8 Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR Document 238-18 Filed 07/25/23 Page 6 of 6 4/4/23, 4 :50 PM MYSTERY MOGUL'S TEEN-SEX SECRET BARED IN PROBE When the girl became upset and screamed, "No!" Epstein apologized, and he later paid her $1,000 for the visit, the records allege. Palm Beach cops prepared an arrest-warrant request proposing that Epstein be charged with unlawful sexual activity with certain minors and with lewd and lascivious molestation. Instead, in a rare move, prosecutors brought the evidence to a grand jury, which indicted Epstein only on the prostitution charge. The frustrated police now have given their evidence to the FBl's Miami division, which is considering whether to investigate Epstein for possible federal crimes involving underage girls, said Special Agent Judy Orihuela.
