IN THE COURT OF THE FIFTEENTH
JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, IN AND FOR PALM
BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA
CASE NO. 502008CA037319XXXXMB AB
Plaintiff,
v.
and
Defendants.
AFFIDAVIT OF JACK A. GOLDBERGER, ESQ.
STATE OF FLORIDA ) SS
COUNTY OF PALM BEACH )
BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally appeared Jack A.
Goldberger, Esq. having personal knowledge and being duly sworn, deposes and
says:
1. I am co-counsel for Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, in this and other
pending matters involving Mr. Epstein.
2. I am becoming increasingly concerned about my client's ability to
receive a fair trial with the recent press coverage of these cases.
3. Mr. Kuvin specifically told me prior to a hearing at the Palm Beach
County Courthouse concerning Mr. Epstein that:
a) He knew that he did not expect to make much money in this
case.
CT
Page - 1 -
EFTA00726547
b) He was a young lawyer, he knew he needed to market
himself and get as much publicity for himself and his firm as
possible.
c) He pointed out that his firm has an advertising plan to market
to other lawyers;
d) The Epstein case was another marketing method for himself
and his firm.
4. In particular, Mr. Kuvin had to have given a copy of Mr. Epstein's
video deposition to The Palm Beach Post in this matter and the abbreviated
deposition ended up on the internet.
5. The decision to terminate/adjourn the deposition and seek relief
from the court was made by the attorneys, Michael Pike and me, not Mr. Epstein.
Mr. Epstein followed our legal advice.
6. As the Court knows, Defendant and his attorneys must defend
against an "anonymous" Plaintiff, yet the Plaintiffs attorneys including Mr. Kuvin,
apparently intend to fry this case in the press to prejudice Mr. Epstein's right to a
fair trial.

Epstein Plea Bargain Unsealed
Comments 0 I Recommend 0
September 18, 2009 6:11 PM

By all accounts, it was a sweet deal that Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein struck with the feds.
One that most of us probably wouldn't have gotten.
He pleaded guilty to engaging in sex with teenage girls and got very little time in the county jail. Not
even prison.
Epstein's lawyers kept the details of the deal sealed until today.
We just got our hands on the 11 page plea deal that Jeffrey Epstein reached with federal prosecutors in
2007.
An attorney for some of the teenage girls who were Epstein's victims calls this plea deal "atrocious" and
he says "it's an embarrassment to the U.S. Attorney's office." Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein could've gone to
prison for life.
Instead, he got just 18 months.
Police say he had teenage girls coming to his Palm Beach home to give him massages and also perform
sex acts on him.
One attorney for some of the girls says Epstein victimized at least 33 teenage girls.

"He could've faced at least 33 life sentences had he been convicted under these charges," said Spencer
Kuvin, with the law firm Leopold-Kuvin in Palm Beach Gardens.
But instead, Epstein spent little time behind bars under a secret plea deal with federal prosecutors.
"It's extremely unfair, extremely unfair to the 33 girls because it essentially brushes them aside as
though nothing happened to them and it wasn't a big deal," Kuvin said.
The secret plea bargain has just been made public and it reveals Epstein agreed to pay for an attorney to
represent all the victims who came to his home for sex acts.
In addition, if any of the girls decides to him for damages, Epstein gave up his right to contest the
amount of money they could collect up to 50-thousand dollars.
Also, the plea deal specifies if Epstein successfully meets the house arrest an milli deal,
the government won't charge four women in the case, including his girlfriend , N ho
brought the teenage girls to him.
"There is no other person, no other person who would've gotten such a sweetheart deal had they not
been as wealthy and as powerful as Jeffrey Epstein," Kuvin said.
The U.S. Attorney's office in Miami declined to comment on the plea deal.
In a written statement, Epstein's defense attorney says: "He is looking forward to putting this difficult
period of his life behind him."

Defendants.
AFFIDAVIT OF JACK A. GOLDBERGER, ESQ.
STATE OF FLORIDA ) SS
COUNTY OF PALM BEACH )
BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally appeared Jack A.
Goldberger, Esq. having personal knowledge and being duly sworn, deposes and
says:
1. I am co-counsel for Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, in this and other
pending matters involving Mr. Epstein.
2. I am becoming increasingly concerned about my client's ability to
receive a fair trial with the recent press coverage of these cases.
3. Mr. Kuvin specifically told me prior to a hearing at the Palm Beach
County Courthouse concerning Mr. Epstein that:
a) He knew that he did not expect to make much money in this
case.
CT
Page - 1 -
EFTA00726547
b) He was a young lawyer, he knew he needed to market
himself and get as much publicity for himself and his firm as
possible.
c) He pointed out that his firm has an advertising plan to market
to other lawyers;
d) The Epstein case was another marketing method for himself
and his firm.
4. In particular, Mr. Kuvin had to have given a copy of Mr. Epstein's
video deposition to The Palm Beach Post in this matter and the abbreviated
deposition ended up on the internet.
5. The decision to terminate/adjourn the deposition and seek relief
from the court was made by the attorneys, Michael Pike and me, not Mr. Epstein.
Mr. Epstein followed our legal advice.
6. As the Court knows, Defendant and his attorneys must defend
against an "anonymous" Plaintiff, yet the Plaintiffs attorneys including Mr. Kuvin,
apparently intend to fry this case in the press to prejudice Mr. Epstein's right to a
fair trial.

Epstein Plea Bargain Unsealed
Comments 0 I Recommend 0
September 18, 2009 6:11 PM
Al Pefley
By all accounts, it was a sweet deal that Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein struck with the feds.
One that most of us probably wouldn't have gotten.
He pleaded guilty to engaging in sex with teenage girls and got very little time in the county jail. Not
even prison.
Epstein's lawyers kept the details of the deal sealed until today.
We just got our hands on the 11 page plea deal that Jeffrey Epstein reached with federal prosecutors in
2007.
An attorney for some of the teenage girls who were Epstein's victims calls this plea deal "atrocious" and
he says "it's an embarrassment to the U.S. Attorney's office." Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein could've gone to
prison for life.
Instead, he got just 18 months.
Police say he had teenage girls coming to his Palm Beach home to give him massages and also perform
sex acts on him.
One attorney for some of the girls says Epstein victimized at least 33 teenage girls.

EFTA00726550
Page 2 of 2
"He could've faced at least 33 life sentences had he been convicted under these charges," said Spencer
Kuvin, with the law firm Leopold-Kuvin in Palm Beach Gardens.
But instead, Epstein spent little time behind bars under a secret plea deal with federal prosecutors.
"It's extremely unfair, extremely unfair to the 33 girls because it essentially brushes them aside as
though nothing happened to them and it wasn't a big deal," Kuvin said.
The secret plea bargain has just been made public and it reveals Epstein agreed to pay for an attorney to
represent all the victims who came to his home for sex acts.
In addition, if any of the girls decides to him for damages, Epstein gave up his right to contest the
amount of money they could collect up to 50-thousand dollars.
Also, the plea deal specifies if Epstein successfully meets the house arrest an milli deal,
the government won't charge four women in the case, including his girlfriend , N ho
brought the teenage girls to him.
"There is no other person, no other person who would've gotten such a sweetheart deal had they not
been as wealthy and as powerful as Jeffrey Epstein," Kuvin said.
The U.S. Attorney's office in Miami declined to comment on the plea deal.
In a written statement, Epstein's defense attorney says: "He is looking forward to putting this difficult
period of his life behind him."
