home in Palm Beach. The girls would travel to Epstein's
residence, usually in the company of another girl. The girls

Epstein's bedroom where a massage table was accessible. The girls

In addition to these sexual massages, some of the girls
were paid additional sums to perform more sexual activity, for

employee, while Epstein watched.

During the course of PBPD's investigation, a search
warrant for Epstein's home was obtained and executed. Many of
Epstein's belongings were removed from the home prior to the
execution of the search warrant - for example, the computer
processing units (CPUs) were removed from the house but the
computer screens, keyboards, cords, etc. were left behind. The
missing CPU's were never recovered.

During the search, several telephone message pads were
recovered. These message pads show messages taken from several of
the girls who were interviewed and admitted to engaging in sexual
massages or other sexual activity with Epstein. The messages
contained text such as "I have a female for him" and "has girl

Stuart Pivar, date of birth was
interviewed at his residence New York, New
York. Pivar was advised of the identity of the interviewing agents
and the purpose of the interview. Pivar voluntarily provided the
following information:

Pivar has known Jeffrey Epstein since the 1980's when
they were both associated with the New York Academy of Arts.
Epstein left the New York Academy of the Arts when he believed
inappropriate financial activity was occurring.

Epstein is a strong supporter of scientific research and
has donated 15 to 30 million dollars to Harvard. He has also
funded approximately 150 additional scientists including Nobel
Prize winner John Watson, co-founder of DNA. Epstein's scientific
interests include the functioning of the brain, life creation and
eternal life.

Pivar believes Epstein is plotting to monopolize
scientific research. Epstein is an owner of Seed Media Group which
maintains an internet scientific web log(blog). On the blog, a
scientist who reviewed Fiver's book "Lifecode" referred to Pivar as
a "crackpot scientist." Pivar is suing Epstein and Seed Media
Group for libel and is seeking 15 million dollars in damages.

Pivar indicated that journalist John Connolly may be able
to provide more information regarding Epstein. Connolly is an
independent journalist who had formerly written a Vanity Fair
magazine article about Epstein.

Pivar stated Epstein does not always tell the truth and
lacks a "guilt gene." He stated Epstein is not a good person and
described him as a contrarian.

Pivar mentioned that Epstein had recently suffered a
financial loss of approximately 130 million dollars with a Bear
Stearns hedge fund.

States Attorney . After being advised of the
identity of the interviewing agen s and purpose of the interview,

lecturing and working with student services at the NYAA. Epstein
was a former NYAA board member.

Guggenheim stated her husband, Russell Wilkinson, could
provide additional information regarding Epstein and his
association to the NYAA at which time Wilkinson engaged in
conversation with the interviewing agents. Wilkinson advised that
Epstein was a NYAA board member in the 1980's into the early
1990's. Epstein was a social acquaintance with artist Andy Warhol.
Epstein allowed the board to have meetings at his apartment as well
as his office space located in the Villard House, corner of Madison
Avenue and 53rd Street, New York, New York. Epstein attended NYAA
parties and supported the school financially but he was not
considered to be part of the "inner cirle." Wilkinson stated
Epstein was in the "social orbit of the school" meaning Epstein
was more involved socially with the school than intellectually.
Epstein frequently purchased artwork at the NYAA auctions and
sponsored benefit tables. Epstein was consistent in his support of
NYAA events. Epstein left the NYAA in the 1990's. The founder of
the school, Stuart Pivar, "got out of hand" and did not get
reelected to the board. Wilkinson opined that Epstein resigned
because his main contact with the board, Pivar, was not reelected
to the NYAA board. Epstein's long time girlfriend was Ghislaine
Maxwell.

Guggenheim then continued the interview. Guggenheim estimated
Epstein's contributions to the NYAA at $5,000-$20,000 per year.
Epstein showed no particular interest in any type of art. Epstein
had a patron relationship with Guggenheim's former babysitter,
