GOLDBERGER: That's fine. 5 THE COURT: Defendant needs to 6 approach as well. 7 (Whereupon, there was a conf erence at 8 the bench.) 9 MR. GOLDBERGER: The reason why I 10 asked to come sidebar, there is a 11 nonprosecution agreement with the United 12 States Attorney's office that triggers as a 13 result of this plea agreement. In other 14 words, they have signed off and said they 15 will not prosecute Mr. Epstein in the 16 Southern District of Florida for any 17 offense upon his successful taki ng of this 18 plea today. That is a confidential 19 document that the parties have agre ed to. 20 Just in an abundance of caution, I wanted 21 to tell the court. 22 THE COURT: I understand, that would 23 also be invalidated should he violate his 24 community control? 25 MR.

BELOHLAVEK: They spell all that 4 THE COURT: Mr. Epstein needs to come 5 closer. 6 Mr. Epstein, your attorney has 7 told me that in additi on to everything, we 8 talked about another Inducement, shall we 9 say, to your taking this plea is that the 10 U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of 11 the State of Florida, federal prosecutor, 12 has agreed to a nonpro secution agreement 13 with you, meaning that if you successfully a 14 complete probation and do everything you're 15 supposed to, they have, have agreed not to 16 prosecute you federally , did you understand 17 that? 18 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, ma'am. 19 THE COURT: And I would view tha t as 20 a significant inducemen t in accepting this 21 plea. 22 MS. BELOHLAVEK: They are actually in 23 court here today, also. 24 THE COURT: Okay. 25 MR. GOLDBERGER: And the plea 09112/2019 Page900 Agency to Agency Requet: 19-411 PHYLLIS A.

That is the only 11 other condition of the agreement that is 12 influencing this defend ant to make this 13 decision? 14 MR. GOLDBERGER: Absolutely. I think 15 that's the right idea. 16 (Return to open cou rt. ) 17 THE COURT: Mr. Epstein, is there 18 anything else? 19 THE DEFENDANT: No, ma'am. 20 THE COURT: Because I don't take 21 these pleas unless the y are freely and 22 voluntarily made. 23 THE DEFENDANT: I understand that. 24 THE COURT: I also don't want 25 somebody or anybody com ing back a year, 09112/2019 Page 3901 Agency to Agency Requet: 19-411 PHYLLIS A.
