Here are the revised documents with the 403 charge. I have gotten some negative reaction to the assau lt charge with l as the victim, since she is considered one of the main perpetrators of the offenses that we planned to charge in. the indictment. Can you talk to Mr. Epstein about a young woman n'amea/111111111 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 limi tations, but perhaps we could construct a 371 conspiracy around that? Let me know what you think. Thank you.
