Confidential Due Diligence Report Sex offenders also typically must attend counseling sessions. Belohlavek said that was waived for Epstein because his private psychiatrist is working with him. The judge was skeptical but agreed to it. Epstein's legal woes don't end with Monday's plea. There are four pending feriae' civil lawsuits and one in state court related to his behavior. At least one woman has sued him in New York, where he owns a 51,000• square-foot Manhattan mansion. "It's validation of what we're saying in the civil cases," said Miami attorney Jeffrey Heiman, who represents the alleged victims in the federal lawsuits. West Palm Beach attomey Ted Leopold represents one alleged victim in a civil suit in state court. He said he anticipates amending that lawsuit to add "a few other clients" as well. In the criminal case, police went so far as to scour Epstein's trash and conduct surveillance at Palm Beach International Airport, where they watched for his private jet so they would know when he was in town. They concluded that Epstein paid girls $200 to 5300 each after the massage sessions. "I'm like a Heidi Fleiss," , now 22, told police about her efforts in recruiting girls for Epstein. There was probable cause to charge Epstein with unlawful sex acts with a minor and lewd and lascivious molestation, police concluded. The state attorney's office said questions about the girls' credibility led it to take the unprecedented step of presenting the evidence against Epstein to a grand jury, rather than directly charging him. Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter was furious with State Attorney Barry Krischer, saying in a May 2006 letter that the prosecutor should disqualify himself. "I continue to find your office's treatment of these cases highly unusual," he wrote. He then asked for and got a federal investigation. Epstein hired a phalanx of high-priced lawyers - including Harvard law professor and author Alan Dershowitz - and public relations people who questioned Reiter's competence and the victims' truthfulness. In addition to mansions in Palm Beach arxl Manhattan, Epstein owns homes in New Mexico and the Virgin Islands. He's a frequent contributor to Democratic Party candidates. He also donated $30 million to Harvard in 2003. Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer returned a $50,000 campaign contribution from Epstein after his indictment, then resigned this year during his own sex scandal. And the same Palm Beach Police Department that vigorously investigated Epstein returned his $90,000 donation for the purchase of a firearms simulator.
