Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to take a
Speaker 1: look at the plea conference from two thousand and eight
Speaker 1: when Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to the county was charged
Speaker 1: with by the state of Florida. So there are several
Speaker 1: different people that are involved in this conference. So as
Speaker 1: they're speaking, I'll let you know who's talking and then
Speaker 1: who responds the court, Good morning, mister Goldberger, who is
Speaker 1: Epstein's lawyer, Your honor, we're here for a plea conference.
Speaker 1: The court, raise your right hand. After being called as
Speaker 1: a witness by the defense and after being first duly
Speaker 1: sworn by the court, was examined and testified as follows
Speaker 1: the defendant. Yes, ma'am, that's Epstein. And the court is
Speaker 1: this one case or two, Miss bellehov Lick. Two? The Court,
Speaker 1: may I see the pc affid David in both cases?
Speaker 1: Please bellohov Lick. There are no pc affid David's. There
Speaker 1: was originally an indictment. The second charge was filed a
Speaker 1: rising out of the booking. It was all testimony presented
Speaker 1: to the grand jury. The court, let me see the indictment.
Speaker 1: Then I have one indictment. Miss Bellehovelek correct the Court.
Speaker 1: So one case is charged by indictment, one is charged
Speaker 1: by information. Miss Bellohovlk correct the Court. In case two
Speaker 1: zero zero, six zero three six seven four to four,
Speaker 1: your charge with procuring a person under eighteen for prostitution,
Speaker 1: a second degree felony, maximum penalty of fifteen years Department
Speaker 1: of Corrections, minimum some period of probation, no mandatory minimum apply.
Speaker 1: Is that correct? State, Miss Bellehovelek correct the Court. And
Speaker 1: in case number six nine four five four CF, you're
Speaker 1: charged with felony solicitation to a prostitution, a third degree
Speaker 1: felony punishable by a maximum penalty of five years in
Speaker 1: the Department of Corrections and a minimum probation no mandatory
Speaker 1: minimums correct, Miss Bellohovelk correct the Court. The defendant has
Speaker 1: no prior criminal record. Miss Bellohovelk correct. Mister Oger, Yes,
Speaker 1: your honor the Court. You check the NCIC as well
Speaker 1: as state records, Miss Bellohovlk, Yes, the Court, and the
Speaker 1: guideline score sheet I have before me shows twenty one
Speaker 1: and a half months in the Department of Corrections as
Speaker 1: the lowest permissible prison sentence in months. Both sides agree
Speaker 1: to the preparation of the guideline score sheet. Mister Goldberger,
Speaker 1: so we agree, your honor, Miss BELLOHOVLK. Yes, the Court.
Speaker 1: What is proposed? It goes on for pages, Mister Goldberger,
Speaker 1: Your honor. Much of the documentation is acknowledgment by my
Speaker 1: client to community control sex offender status. The Court, I understand, okay,
Speaker 1: what is proposed? Those are the maximum and minimums. Mister Epstein.
Speaker 1: What is proposed is that you will be pleading guilty
Speaker 1: to felony solicitation to prostitution and procuring a person under
Speaker 1: eighteen for prosecution PSI would be waived. You would be
Speaker 1: adjudicated guilty of both felonies. Is that correct, Miss BELLOHOVLK. Correct. Court.
Speaker 1: And on six nine four five four, the defendant to
Speaker 1: be sentenced to twelve months in the pom Beach County
Speaker 1: Detention Facility. He is going to do time in the jail,
Speaker 1: Miss BELLOHOVLK. Yes, the Court, with credit for one day served.
Speaker 1: And on eight ninety three eight one, he is to
Speaker 1: be sentenced to six months in the pom Beach County
Speaker 1: Jail Detention Facility, with credit for one day served, and
Speaker 1: the six month sentence is to be served consecutive to
Speaker 1: the twelve month sentence. Miss Bellehovlk correct the Court. Following
Speaker 1: the six month sentence, the defendant will be placed on
Speaker 1: twelve months of the community control are attached here too
Speaker 1: and incorporated herein. As a special condition of community control,
Speaker 1: he is to have no unsupervised contact with miners and
Speaker 1: supervising adult must be approved. And I would say pre approved,
Speaker 1: approved ahead of time, not after the fact, by the
Speaker 1: Department of Corrections. And you would mean by that his
Speaker 1: community control officer. Miss Bellehovelk correct the Court. The defendant
Speaker 1: is designated as a sexual offender pursuant the Florida Statute
Speaker 1: nine four to three dot zero four to three five,
Speaker 1: and must abide by all the corresponding requirements of the statute,
Speaker 1: a copy of which is attached here too and incorporated
Speaker 1: here in. The defendant must provide a DNA sample in
Speaker 1: court at the time of the plea. Is this The
Speaker 1: attachments are the terms and conditions of community control. There
Speaker 1: are some squiggles on the bottom of the page. What
Speaker 1: would those squiggles be? Thank you, your honor. Those are
Speaker 1: my clients signature acknowledging that we have gone over all
Speaker 1: the conditions the court. One page after the plea sheet
Speaker 1: that really spells out the terms and conditions of community
Speaker 1: control Florida Statute nine four to eight dot one oh one.
Speaker 1: Mister Epstein, is at your squiggle at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the squiggle, the defendant, yes, ma'am the Court. Would those
Speaker 1: be your initials? Epstein, yes, ma'am the Court. Did you
Speaker 1: read all of the page? Epstein, yes, ma'am the Court.
Speaker 1: Can you read the defendant? Yes, ma'am the Court. How
Speaker 1: far did you go in school? The defendant? High school?
Speaker 1: The court? That's your highest degree? The defendant, yes, the Court.
Speaker 1: And is this your signature on the plea sheet that
Speaker 1: recites the terms of the plea I just read Epstein, yes,
Speaker 1: ma'am the court. Did you read that document as well? Epstein, Yes,
Speaker 1: ma'am the Court. You understand. Once you do your twelve
Speaker 1: months followed by your six months, all in the Palm
Speaker 1: Beach County Jail, you will then be put on community control,
Speaker 1: which involves having an electronic monitor attached to you. Mister Goldberger, Actually,
Speaker 1: your honor, the agreement of the parties is to it's
Speaker 1: community control one, which is not monitor the Court, oh
Speaker 1: community control one? Is that spelled out in here, Miss Bellohovlk. Yes,
Speaker 1: mister Goldberger, Yes, it is your honor, Miss Bellohovelck. He
Speaker 1: does not fall under the Jessica Lunsford Act, which requires
Speaker 1: the bracelet the Court Community control two, Miss Bellohovelek, correct
Speaker 1: the Court Community control one. That would be no electronic
Speaker 1: monitor Goldberger, that's correct the Court. Now, such of the
Speaker 1: terms and conditions of community control one are you incorporating,
Speaker 1: mister Goldberger. I can go through those with you, your
Speaker 1: honor the Court. None of them appear to be articulated
Speaker 1: in the plea sheet, which is why I'm asking, mister Goldberger.
Speaker 1: There are the standard conditions of community control by statute
Speaker 1: what apply to anyone that goes on community control and
Speaker 1: out of abundance of caution, we simply memorialize those standard
Speaker 1: conditions in the police sheet agreement the Court. The Court
Speaker 1: shall require intensive supervision and surveillance for an offender placed
Speaker 1: on community control, which may include, but is not limited to,
Speaker 1: specified contact with a parole and probation officer specified by who,
Speaker 1: probation officer specified by you, your honor the Court. I
Speaker 1: don't see that in the plea sheet. That's why I'm
Speaker 1: asking the questions. No one has specified how often, how
Speaker 1: frequently he is to have contact with his parole and
Speaker 1: probation officer confinement to an agreed upon residents during the
Speaker 1: hours away from employment and public service activity. Has that
Speaker 1: been articulated? Bellahovlick, I believe Judge mcsorlee has a standard
Speaker 1: order somewhere on the bench up there regarding this, I'm
Speaker 1: told by the prosecutor, Miss Lenhart. Judge usually this is
Speaker 1: the probation sheet she hands out to folks the court.
Speaker 1: I have seen those sheets. I have seen them incorporated
Speaker 1: in plea agreements. Which is why I'm asking, mister Goldberger,
Speaker 1: I see the court. Is there some reason you didn't
Speaker 1: use this particular document in this case, Miss Bellohovlick, I
Speaker 1: didn't realize until Miss Lenhart just told me that Judge
Speaker 1: McSorley has that. Mister Goldberger, we'd be happy to execute
Speaker 1: that document, your honor. We were we overreacted by just
Speaker 1: having him sign off on all the conditions of community control.
Speaker 1: The court, Well, this is mister Goldberger. Perhaps the better
Speaker 1: practice would be the court cuts him off. This is
Speaker 1: The reason Judge mcsorlee does this, which makes ultimate sense,
Speaker 1: is we're going to be here half the morning if
Speaker 1: we're going to decide among ourselves. Now, Goldberger interjects, that
Speaker 1: makes sense the court. I'm not going to leave this
Speaker 1: just unspecified. Lahovlik. We can take care of this right
Speaker 1: now if you could give us a few minutes. The
Speaker 1: court all right. These are the standard conditions that Judge
Speaker 1: McSorley usually uses. If you like them, you need to
Speaker 1: circle the ones that apply, and everyone must initial them.
Speaker 1: We will go over it. If you wish to change.
Speaker 1: You understand there is quite a bit of latitude given
Speaker 1: the court in putting somebody on community control. If you
Speaker 1: agree to some change, let me know, but understand at
Speaker 1: the outset that I'm a big fan of specificity. I
Speaker 1: want to know what he will be doing for employment.
Speaker 1: I want to know exactly where he's going to be living,
Speaker 1: and I want it on the record now. It can change,
Speaker 1: but it can only change with the approval by doc.
Speaker 1: I want it crystal clear. I don't want the community
Speaker 1: control officer who gets this case the day he walks
Speaker 1: out upon Beach County to have any doubt or confusion
Speaker 1: as to exactly what this defendant is supposed to do,
Speaker 1: where he's supposed to be when exactly what I'm requesting
Speaker 1: that officer to supervise. Miss Bellehovlik, absolutely, the Court. Okay,
Speaker 1: mister Goldberger, we will work on it. Thank you, your honor.
Speaker 1: The Court we will recall that case. They have a
Speaker 1: brief recess. Coldberger comes back, your honor, We are back
Speaker 1: on Jeffrey Epstein. Actually it worked. We had an opportunity
Speaker 1: to go through Judge mcsorley's conditions of community control, and
Speaker 1: we asked the Department of Corrections representative to assist us
Speaker 1: to make sure we did everything properly. That were very
Speaker 1: helpful and we executed the document. Miss Bellohovelck, Yes, and
Speaker 1: your honor, this defendant doesn't fall under the sex offender probation,
Speaker 1: but we have included special sex offender conditions as part
Speaker 1: of the community control and they are all circled there
Speaker 1: the court. The plea agreement stated the defendant is a
Speaker 1: designated as the sexual offender pursuant of Florida Statute nine
Speaker 1: four to two dot zero three five. Miss Bellohovelck, correct,
Speaker 1: But the sex offender probation the statute is different and
Speaker 1: only applies to certain offenses, and this one was not enumerated.
Speaker 1: You see how the state played ball with Epstein. You
Speaker 1: see what they were doing here, and this is what
Speaker 1: they did throughout the whole entire thing. So how is
Speaker 1: it that your favorite politicians in Congress haven't called up
Speaker 1: miss Bellohoveck. How have they called up any of the
Speaker 1: people that were involved in this prosecution. Oh, that's right,
Speaker 1: because they don't care about justice. They care about gotcha
Speaker 1: moments the court. Okay, I want to make sure both
Speaker 1: I and the defendant are clear. The sexual offender statute
Speaker 1: you were referring to in the police sheet is the
Speaker 1: one that requires registration, Miss Bellohovek. Correct. Mister Goldberger, correct
Speaker 1: the court, and we will talk about that, mister Goldberger. Okay,
Speaker 1: the court, but it's not the one that requires the
Speaker 1: special conditions of sex offender approbation, Miss bellehove correct the court.
Speaker 1: Now rather than nine forty eight, do you want me
Speaker 1: to disregard nine forty eight? He's read it, Miss Bellohovek.
Speaker 1: He's read it. The court. We will leave it in there,
Speaker 1: but these conditions are going to go over right now,
Speaker 1: are going to be viewed in my mind, yes, and
Speaker 1: they have been signed by the defendant and we will
Speaker 1: go over that in a second. As part of the
Speaker 1: whole plea, Miss Bellohovelek correct, the Court. So circled are
Speaker 1: conditions A. You will remain confined to your residence except
Speaker 1: one half hour before and after your approved employment, community
Speaker 1: service work or activity approved by your probation officer. B.
Speaker 1: You will maintain an hourly accounting of all your activities
Speaker 1: on a daily log, which you will submit to your
Speaker 1: supervising officer upon request. My understanding about the daily log
Speaker 1: maybe I'm just confused from other cases I've heard. Is
Speaker 1: a daily log? Is a weekly log? I guess it's
Speaker 1: submitted ahead of time? Is that correct? Probation Officer? That
Speaker 1: is correct, your honor, the Court. So part A where
Speaker 1: he has to stay in his residence except for one
Speaker 1: hour before and after the approved employment, community service work
Speaker 1: and other activity. All that's information that will be recorded
Speaker 1: in writing, and the defendant will have a copy and
Speaker 1: he will know exactly where he's supposed to be and
Speaker 1: when probation officer. That is correct, your honor, the Court,
Speaker 1: as will his supervising probation officer. And then to document
Speaker 1: what he's supposedly done. All that he himself will be
Speaker 1: keeping a daily log probation officer. That is correct, your honor,
Speaker 1: the court and the log form will be provided by
Speaker 1: the department, and he will be turning that in every
Speaker 1: time he meets with the probation officer. That is correct,
Speaker 1: your honor. All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up episode
Speaker 1: one right here, and then the next episode dealing with
Speaker 1: the topic, We're gonna pick up where we left off.
Speaker 1: All of the information that goes with this episode can
Speaker 1: be found in the description box. What's up, everyone, and
Speaker 1: welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode,
Speaker 1: we're going to continue taking a look at Jeffrey Epstein's
Speaker 1: plea conference where Jeffrey Epstein pled guilty down in Florida.
Speaker 1: The court okay, so that applies, and F applies? Does
Speaker 1: he apply? No, Miss bellahovlik Did I circle ee the court? No?
Speaker 1: F made one up. The defendant will be residing at
Speaker 1: three fifty eight l Briol Way, Palm Beach, Florida, thirty
Speaker 1: three foury eighty. He knows now that that's where he
Speaker 1: will be living when he is released after his twelve
Speaker 1: months and six months, mister Goldberger. That's correct, your honor,
Speaker 1: the Court. That's a private residence, mister Goldberger, that's his home,
Speaker 1: the Court. Does he own his home, mister Goldberger, he does,
Speaker 1: your honor, the Court. Is there any possibility that he
Speaker 1: no longer owns the residence, mister Goldberger, not anticipated, your honor,
Speaker 1: the Court. Okay, should he not be for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: eighteen months is a long time. Should he not be
Speaker 1: owning that residence or be able to reside there, he
Speaker 1: will have the obligation of notifying his probation officer prior
Speaker 1: and I emphasize this prior to his release from custody.
Speaker 1: I assume that the department will be notified prior to
Speaker 1: to his release. Probation Officer. That's correct, your honor, the Court.
Speaker 1: And then you would need to send someone to meet
Speaker 1: with him before he walks out of the Palm Beach
Speaker 1: County jail and verify his address and employment information. Probation officer.
Speaker 1: That is correct, your honor, the Court. All address. I
Speaker 1: assume all of this to and from work and any
Speaker 1: other proved activities restriction to Palm Beach County. Is that correct,
Speaker 1: Probation officer. That is correct, your honor, the Court. So
Speaker 1: let's be clear, everything from the day he walks out
Speaker 1: occurs in pom Beach County. Is that clear, mister Goldberger,
Speaker 1: We understand, your honor. That's correct, the Court. Then the
Speaker 1: additional condition of his probation. They are not sex offenders'
Speaker 1: standard conditions. They are just conditions that are being imposed,
Speaker 1: especially in this case, Miss Bellehovelek, correct, the Court. They
Speaker 1: are as follows. You shall submit to a mandatory curfew
Speaker 1: from ten pm to six am, regardless of any other
Speaker 1: restrictions regarding work or approved activity. There will be no
Speaker 1: exception to being home at the house from ten pm
Speaker 1: to six am. Is that correct, Miss Bellehovelek, Yes, the Court.
Speaker 1: If the victim was under the age of eighteen years,
Speaker 1: which I gather is the case because it's circled, you
Speaker 1: shall not live within one thousand feet of a school,
Speaker 1: day care center, park, playground, or any other place where
Speaker 1: children regularly congregate. Has someone verified that three fifty eight
Speaker 1: Albrio is no such place, Miss Bellehovelck, No, but that
Speaker 1: will be done prior to his release, the court. So
Speaker 1: if three fifty eight l Brio will not be approved
Speaker 1: if it should happen to be one thousand feet from
Speaker 1: a school, daycare center, park, playground, or other place. This
Speaker 1: is rather open, mister Goldberger, where children gather the court,
Speaker 1: where children regularly congregate, Miss Bellehovelk right the court. The
Speaker 1: court knows three fifty eight Albrio Way is a residential neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Are there areas where there are children regularly congregate, Miss BELLOHOVELC.
Speaker 1: I personally do not know. The court neither do I,
Speaker 1: which is why I'm asking has that been investigated, Mister Goldberger.
Speaker 1: We have done our due diligence for what it's worth.
Speaker 1: There is a residential street. There are not children congregating
Speaker 1: on that street. We think the address applies. If it doesn't,
Speaker 1: we fully recognize that he can't live there. The court okay,
Speaker 1: d is you shall not have contact with the victim.
Speaker 1: Are there more than one victim, Miss BELLOHOVLK. There are
Speaker 1: several the court several all of the victims, So this
Speaker 1: should be plural. I'm making that plural. You are not
Speaker 1: to have any contact direct or indirect, And in this
Speaker 1: day and age, I find it necessary to go over
Speaker 1: exactly what we mean by indirect By indirect. We mean
Speaker 1: no text messages, no email, no Facebook, no MySpace, no
Speaker 1: telephone calls, no voicemails, no messages through carrier pigeon, no
Speaker 1: messages through third parties. No Hey, would you tell so
Speaker 1: and so for me? No having a friend, acquaintance, or
Speaker 1: stranger approach any of these victims with a message of
Speaker 1: any sort from you. Is that clear, Jeffrey Epstein, Yes,
Speaker 1: ma'am the court, and then it states unless approved by
Speaker 1: the victim, the therapist, and the sentence in court. Okay,
Speaker 1: the defendant. I understand the court and the sentence in court.
Speaker 1: So if there is a desire which I would think
Speaker 1: would be a bit strange, to have contact with any
Speaker 1: of the victims, the court must approve it. Miss Bellohovelek correct,
Speaker 1: the court. If the victim was under the age of eighteen,
Speaker 1: which was the case, you shall not until you have
Speaker 1: successfully attended and completed the sex offender program. So is
Speaker 1: this sex offender program becoming a condition of probation, Miss
Speaker 1: bellohove Lick. That is not. I don't believe I circled
Speaker 1: that one the court. You did, mister Goldberger. That's a
Speaker 1: mistake on our part. Actually, the statute that he is
Speaker 1: pleading guilty to does not require the court. I understand that,
Speaker 1: but you circled it. And just to interject here, you
Speaker 1: see what I mean when I say the fix was in.
Speaker 1: They undercharged all the time when it comes to Epstein
Speaker 1: and Maxwell, and that was on purpose. How much more
Speaker 1: evidence do you need that Jeffrey Epstein was being protected, folks?
Speaker 1: And again, look, that's not salacious bullshit. It's right here
Speaker 1: in black and white for you to see yourself. That's
Speaker 1: why we're going through these documents the way we do.
Speaker 1: I'll leave it up to the other idiots to be slacious.
Speaker 1: We're going to get to the bottom of things here,
Speaker 1: Miss Bellohovevick, I apologize that one is not He has
Speaker 1: already been treatment with a private psychiatrist the court, which
Speaker 1: you find to be an adequate substitute for a sex
Speaker 1: offender program. Miss Bellohovlick, it's not required. And based upon
Speaker 1: the evaluation am I contact with the doctor, I don't
Speaker 1: believe it's necessary at this point. So right there, she
Speaker 1: told you, Miss Bellohovlick tells you that it's not necessary
Speaker 1: for Jeffrey Epstein to be in this program. Do you
Speaker 1: know why? Because the fix was in the court? Has
Speaker 1: that been? I assume you have a law degree and
Speaker 1: do not have a PhD in psychology or MD in psychiatry.
Speaker 1: Miss Bellohovelc, that is correct. I don't the court, so
Speaker 1: it's just your judgment, Miss Bellohovelk correct the court. That
Speaker 1: is treatment with some fancy private psychiatrist or a psychologist
Speaker 1: in his case is okay, Miss Bellohovlick. That's correct, the court.
Speaker 1: So you are not imposing e Miss Bellohovelck, correct the court.
Speaker 1: F if the victim was under the age of eighteen,
Speaker 1: you shall not work or play as a volunteer in
Speaker 1: any school, daycare center, park, playground, or other place where
Speaker 1: children regularly congregate. Is that understood the defendant, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1: The court. Children will be defined as anyone under the
Speaker 1: age of eighteen. There are a lot of places where
Speaker 1: a children regularly congregate. What kind of work do you do?
Speaker 1: The defendant, banking the court here in Palm Beach County,
Speaker 1: The defendant Virgin Islands man, the Court, you understand you
Speaker 1: will not travel from Palm Beach for the duration of
Speaker 1: this the defendant, yes, ma'am. Mister Goldberger, your honor, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry to interrupt. We do cover the employment later in
Speaker 1: the agreement as to what he's going to be doing
Speaker 1: during the one year where he's on community control. The Court, okay,
Speaker 1: and let me Condition G, which is circled unless otherwise
Speaker 1: indicated in the treatment plan provided by Sexual Offender Treatment Program,
Speaker 1: Mister Goldberger, that's not in there, the court. Is that
Speaker 1: what you want, Miss bellohovlik No, the court, But you
Speaker 1: do want the You will not view one or possess
Speaker 1: any obscene pornographic Miss bellohovelk correct the Court. But are
Speaker 1: you saying that this therapist can okay them to own
Speaker 1: certain pornographic material, Miss bellohovelk No, Not at all, mister Goldberger, No,
Speaker 1: your honor, the Court. Well, it would be really helpful
Speaker 1: if people read these things before they sign them thoroughly,
Speaker 1: unless otherwise indicated in the treatment plan I'm just going
Speaker 1: to strike out provided by the Sexual Offender Treatment Program.
Speaker 1: Is that what you intend that his therapist, Miss bellohovelk no,
Speaker 1: the Court. No, Miss bellohovelk no, the court unless otherwise indicated,
Speaker 1: Mister Goldberger. The parties have agreed that during the period
Speaker 1: that he cannot be the court interrupts him. Condition G
Speaker 1: will now read you shall not view, own, possess any obscene,
Speaker 1: pornographic or sexually obscene material, or auditory material, including telephonic,
Speaker 1: electronic media, computer program or computer services that are real

Speaker 1: enforce that, Miss Bellohovlick, the Community Control officer, the Court.
Speaker 1: How Miss Bellohovlick, they have an obligation and included in
Speaker 1: therefore warrantless search to check at any time his home
Speaker 1: is computer anything he has contact with the court. And
Speaker 1: do they regularly do that? Probation Officer, Yes, ma'am the Court,

Speaker 1: Are all those the conditions you agreed to, Miss Bellohovlik, Yes,
Speaker 1: your honor, mister Goldberger, with the Court's amendments. Yes, the Court.
Speaker 1: Mister Epstein, do you understand the defendant? Yes, ma'am. All right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna wrap up right here and in the next
Speaker 1: episode we're gonna pick up where we left off. All
Speaker 1: of the information that goes with this episode can be
Speaker 1: found in the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome
Speaker 1: to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode,
Speaker 1: we're going to dive right back in to the Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Epstein plea conference from Florida. The Court, I need the
Speaker 1: defendant to sign number D where I added to the
Speaker 1: victim and G. We struck out the otherwise indicated language.
Speaker 1: Otherwise it's as you agreed, mister Epstein. Do you understand
Speaker 1: this is a somewhat complicated terms of a plea that
Speaker 1: you agreed to the defendant? Yes, ma'am the court. Do
Speaker 1: you have any questions about the terms of the plea? Epstein? No,
Speaker 1: the court. Can I ask the state why you choose
Speaker 1: or defense and the stay together? Why twelve months in
Speaker 1: the Palm Beach County jail followed by six months? Why
Speaker 1: not just send them to the doc Mister Goldberger. It
Speaker 1: was the agreement of the parties, your honor. We just
Speaker 1: decided that it was the best way to accomplish what
Speaker 1: we needed to be done here, and the parties agreed
Speaker 1: that the sentence satisfied everyone's requirements. The court, the taxpayers
Speaker 1: upon Beach County is going to pay eighteen months to
Speaker 1: house this guy instead of Doc Miss bellehovlk right, the court.
Speaker 1: You understand we're losing positions left and right in county
Speaker 1: government because we haven't got enough money. But you want okay,
Speaker 1: his requirement to register, there is many many. There is
Speaker 1: nine pages outlining the sexual offender's requirement to register with
Speaker 1: the department and penalty. Have you read all of those,
Speaker 1: mister Epstein, the defendant, yes, ma'am the court. Do you
Speaker 1: understand you will be required to register and this will
Speaker 1: be an ongoing, lifelong obligation the defendant, yes, ma'am the Court.
Speaker 1: And this registration occurs when Miss Bellohovelick within forty eight
Speaker 1: hours release the court. So when he gets out of
Speaker 1: the Palm Beach County Jail, he needs to register, okay,
Speaker 1: and the department who's going to provide him with the form,
Speaker 1: Mister Goldberger, he actually registers at the Sheriff's office, Your honor,
Speaker 1: we can do it out there the court. It's been
Speaker 1: brought to my attention that FDL is the one who
Speaker 1: is statutorily required to handle these registrations, but some of
Speaker 1: our municipal jurisdictions have taken upon themselves when it comes
Speaker 1: to imposing additional requirements. Y'all understand that Bellehovelet correct. Goldberger right,
Speaker 1: the court. What you are telling him is he has
Speaker 1: to do is the official State of Florida registration. Miss Bellehovelt,
Speaker 1: correct the Court. Mister Epstein, I need to make sure
Speaker 1: you understand that's what's required by this plea. Anyone on
Speaker 1: probation community control is required to live and abide by
Speaker 1: the laws. So if a jurisdiction you choose to reside
Speaker 1: in should have some additional municipal requirements, you'll be required
Speaker 1: in order to comply with the law of living there,
Speaker 1: just like you can't get a parking ticket or speeding
Speaker 1: ticket to comply with those regulations. But I want to
Speaker 1: make sure you understand because I have seen some defendants
Speaker 1: who have been confused about this. If you don't, for example,
Speaker 1: if the town of Palm Beach has you register, that
Speaker 1: does not take care of your requirement. Your requirement is
Speaker 1: to register with FDL through the Sheriff's office, is separate,
Speaker 1: distinct and must be done on their form according to
Speaker 1: their schedule. Jeffrey Epstein, Yes, ma'am the Court, and if
Speaker 1: my experience of the last few months is of any value.
Speaker 1: They're very serious about enforcing this. They'll be tracking you
Speaker 1: for the rest of your life. Do not move, do
Speaker 1: not go. I don't care when you are done with
Speaker 1: community control. They need to know exactly where you are,
Speaker 1: and if you go anywhere without registering, they will find
Speaker 1: you and you will be locked up. Yeah right, dude,
Speaker 1: broke all of these conditions. And if you're wondering why
Speaker 1: I say the NPA is a joke and why it
Speaker 1: should be done away with, here are my receipts, unlike
Speaker 1: the other people that want to just slam shit in
Speaker 1: your face. What are the receipts? The court? Okay, any
Speaker 1: questions about that? The defendant epstein, No, ma'am the court.
Speaker 1: Did you read the plea in the circuit court form
Speaker 1: that describes all the rights you are giving up by
Speaker 1: entering this plea? The defendant, yes, ma'am the court. I
Speaker 1: think I asked you before. Can you read the defendant? Yes,
Speaker 1: the Court. Are you under the influence of alcohol, drugs,
Speaker 1: or medication today, the defendant, no, ma'am. The court normally
Speaker 1: taking any prescribed medication, the defendant only for cholesterol. The
Speaker 1: court does that interfere with your mental ability. The defendant, No,
Speaker 1: the Court. Do you understand you have an attorney, you
Speaker 1: have the right to trial by jury. There is not
Speaker 1: going to be a jury trial. There won't be witnesses
Speaker 1: called that your attorney and you would have a right
Speaker 1: to confront and cross examined. Do you understand you have
Speaker 1: a right to call witnesses of your own and the
Speaker 1: court would issue subpoenas to compel their attendants, just like
Speaker 1: with any other witness called by the state. That you
Speaker 1: have the right absolute right to remain silent, and that
Speaker 1: you would not have to say anything or do anything
Speaker 1: at the trial if there were a trial. Do you
Speaker 1: understand those rights? The defendant Epstein, Yes, ma'am. The Court.
Speaker 1: Do you understand if you are not a United States citizen,
Speaker 1: your plea could subject to you to deportation pursu into
Speaker 1: the laws and regulations governing the United States Immigration and
Speaker 1: Naturalization Service, and this court has no jurisdiction or authority
Speaker 1: in such matters. Do you understand that, the defendant, Yes,
Speaker 1: the Court. Has anybody threatened you, coerced you, or promised
Speaker 1: you anything other than the terms of this plea to
Speaker 1: get you to enter this plea? The defendant, No, the court.
Speaker 1: Do you understand this is a plea in criminal court? Epstein, yes,
Speaker 1: ma'am the court. This has in criminal court in Palm
Speaker 1: Beach County, State of Florida. I have absolutely nothing to
Speaker 1: do with any civil matters or matters and any other jurisdictions.
Speaker 1: Do you understand that the defendant, yes, ma'am the court.
Speaker 1: Is this plea in any way tied to any promise
Speaker 1: or representation by any civil attorneys or other jurisdictions. Mister Goldberger,
Speaker 1: may we come sidebar on that, your honor the court.
Speaker 1: It's going to be recorded, mister Goldberger, that's fine. The
Speaker 1: court defendant needs to approach as well. Whereupon there was
Speaker 1: a conference on the bench. Mister Goldberger. The reason why
Speaker 1: I asked come to sidebar. There is a non prosecution
Speaker 1: agreement with the United States Attorney's Office that triggers as
Speaker 1: a result of this plea agreement. In other words, they
Speaker 1: have signed off and said they will not prosecute mister
Speaker 1: Epstein in the Southern District of Florida for any offense
Speaker 1: upon his successful taking of this plea today. That is
Speaker 1: a confidential document that the parties have agreed to. Just
Speaker 1: in an abundance of caution. I wanted to tell the court,
Speaker 1: the court, I understand that would also be invalidated should
Speaker 1: he violate his community control. There it is, folks, right there,
Speaker 1: the NPA is done for. And if you want any
Speaker 1: more evidence of a cover up, I'm providing it to
Speaker 1: you right now. And this is what makes me so
Speaker 1: aggravated and mad. They have all this information, the DOJ
Speaker 1: has it, they've had it, but instead they want to
Speaker 1: play games and talk about all this other bullshit. Mister Goldberger,
Speaker 1: absolutely that non prosecution agreement, Miss bellehov Lick, they spell
Speaker 1: all that out the court. Mister Epstein needs to come closer.
Speaker 1: Mister Epstein, your attorney has told me that, in addition
Speaker 1: to everything we have talked about, another inducement, shall we
Speaker 1: say to your taking this plea, is that the US
Speaker 1: Attorney for the Southern District of the State of Florida
Speaker 1: federal prosecutor has agreed to a non prosecution agreement with you,
Speaker 1: meaning that if you successfully complete probation and do everything
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do, they have agreed not to prosecute
Speaker 1: you federally. Did you understand that the defendant, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1: The court and I would view that as a significant
Speaker 1: inducement in accepting this plea. Miss Bellohove Lick. They are
Speaker 1: actually in court here today also, the court okay, mister Goldberger,
Speaker 1: and the plea agreement is very carefully spelled out if
Speaker 1: there was a breach that would violate this agreement, so
Speaker 1: we are all well aware of that. The court okay,
Speaker 1: I would request that has sealed copy of that. Mister
Speaker 1: Epstein has signed that document. Goldberger, yes, I would like
Speaker 1: to seal the copy the court. I want a sealed
Speaker 1: copy of that filed in this case. That is the
Speaker 1: only other condition of the agreement that is influencing this
Speaker 1: defendant to make this decision. Mister Goldberger, absolutely, I think
Speaker 1: that's the right idea the court. Mister Epstein, is there
Speaker 1: anything else the defendant, No, ma'am the court, because I
Speaker 1: don't take these please unless they are freely and voluntarily
Speaker 1: made the defendant. I understand that the court. I also
Speaker 1: don't want somebody or anybody coming back a year or
Speaker 1: two from now and saying, oh no, no, they beat
Speaker 1: me over the head. Or if there is anything else
Speaker 1: that is influencing you to make the decision, then I
Speaker 1: need to know about it the defendant. I understand that,
Speaker 1: mister Goldberger, Thank you, Epstein, thank you very much, your
Speaker 1: honor the court all right, mister Epstein. Any questions about
Speaker 1: the rights that you were giving up by entering this
Speaker 1: plea the defendant, no, ma'am. The Court state, please give
Speaker 1: me a factual basis, Miss Bellahovlik. In zero six nine
Speaker 1: four or five four Cfamb. Between August first, two thousand
Speaker 1: and four and October thirty one, two thousand and five,
Speaker 1: the defendant in Palm Beach County did solicit or procure
Speaker 1: someone to commit prosecution on three or more occasions. It
Speaker 1: means prostitution, not prosecution. And in eight cf nine three
Speaker 1: eight one Cfamb between August first, two thousand and four
Speaker 1: and October ninth, two thousand and five, the defendant did
Speaker 1: procure a minor under the age of eighteen to commit
Speaker 1: prostitution in Palm Beach County. The Court I find that
Speaker 1: sufficient factual basis to support the pleas after all of
Speaker 1: the victims in both these cases, in agreement with the
Speaker 1: terms of this plea deal, Miss Bellohovlk, I have spoken
Speaker 1: to several myself and I have spoken to Council through
Speaker 1: council as to other victims, and I believe yes, the
Speaker 1: Court and with regard to the victims under age of eighteen,
Speaker 1: is that victim's parent or a guardian in agreement with
Speaker 1: the polea Miss Bellohovelik. That victim is not under the
Speaker 1: age of eighteen anymore, and that's why we spoke with
Speaker 1: her counsel the court and she is in agreement with
Speaker 1: the plea, Miss Bellohovlick. Yes, the Court and Community Control
Speaker 1: will be given information concerning how to contact these victims.
Speaker 1: Miss Bellohovlick, Yes, the Court confidentially that information will not
Speaker 1: be related to the defendant, but will be used exclusively
Speaker 1: for the purpose of verifying compliance with the agreement. Miss Bellohovelick, yes,
Speaker 1: the Court. Is there anything else from anybody else before
Speaker 1: I accept this plea, Mister Goldberger, No, your honor the Court,
Speaker 1: mister Goldberger, if it's your desire, you may enter your
Speaker 1: client's plea. Mister Goldberger, thank you, your honor. At this
Speaker 1: time we would withdraw our previously entered please, if not guilty,
Speaker 1: enter please of guilty pursuant to negotiation with the state
Speaker 1: the Court. Mister Epstein, I'm going to accept those pleas
Speaker 1: on your behalf. I find you are intelligent, alert, you
Speaker 1: understand what's going on here and the consequence of entering
Speaker 1: the plea. You are doing it freely and voluntarily pursuing
Speaker 1: too the plea. I'm waiving a PSI. I will sentence
Speaker 1: you at this time pursuance to it. I will adjudicate
Speaker 1: you guilty of felony solicitation of prostitution a third degree
Speaker 1: felony case number six cf zero zero nine four to
Speaker 1: five A four five to four amb. And procuring a
Speaker 1: person under eighteen for a prostitution, a second degree felony
Speaker 1: eight cf zero zero nine three eight one AMB. With
Speaker 1: respect to solicitation a prostitution, I'm going to sentence you
Speaker 1: to twelve months in the Pombach County Detention Facility, with
Speaker 1: credit for the one day served. With respect to eight
Speaker 1: cf zero zero nine three eight one, I'm going to
Speaker 1: sentence you to six months in the pom Beach County
Speaker 1: Detention Facility, with credit for the one day served. That
Speaker 1: six month sentence is to be served consecutive to do
Speaker 1: the twelve month sentence. Following the six month sentence, you're
Speaker 1: going to be placed on twelve months a community control.
Speaker 1: That will be both cases I assume to run concurrently. Correct,
Speaker 1: Miss Bellohovelk only on the eight case the court only
Speaker 1: the second degree felony, Miss Bellohovelek correct the one that
Speaker 1: designates them a sexual offender. The court okay, So only
Speaker 1: on case number zero eight cf. Zero zero nine three
Speaker 1: eight one a MB will you be on the year
Speaker 1: community control, which would then invoke a potential penalty of
Speaker 1: fifteen years for you to violate which he violated. The
Speaker 1: special conditions are that you are not to have unsupervised
