A purloined journal that is said to contain the names of “hundreds” of victims of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein could be used to reopen the investigation into the multi-millionaire’s appetite for teenage girls, an attorney representing seven of the victims said Friday.
New details about the contents of the journal were released this week when Alfredo Rodriguez, who worked as a property manager for the Palm Beach resident, pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice for lying to federal agents when asked if he had any information about his former boss’ criminal activity. He later tried to sell the journal he stole from Epstein for $50,000 to an unidentified person, who alerted authorities, according to court records.
As part of the plea agreement, federal prosecutors said the journal “contains information material to the Epstein investigation, including the names of material witnesses and additional victims.”
“Had the items been produced in response to the inquiries of state or federal authorities ... the materials would have been presented to the federal grand jury,” federal prosecutors wrote.
Instead, prosecutors short-circuited the grand jury investigation and cut a deal with Epstein. They agreed not to pursue federal charges if he didn’t contest prostitution-related felonies in state court. The money manager pleaded guilty in July 2008 to procuring a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution. He served 13 months of an 18-month sentence.
Attorney Adam Horowitz, who represents seven of the roughly 18 women who have filed civil suits against Epstein, said the new information could trump the so-called non-prosecution agreement.
The multifaceted agreement, he said, deals only with a specific list of victims that the U.S. Attorney’s Office knew about when it penned the deal in 2007. If additional victims are listed in the journal Rodriguez stole, Horowitz said federal prosecutors could reopen the investigation.
“It opens the door for further prosecution,” he said.
In addition to turning over the journal to federal agents, Rodriguez told them he knew his former boss was having sex with underage girls when he worked for him in 2004 and 2005. He had seen naked girls, who looked like minors, in the pool of Epstein’s $8.6 million mansion. He had seen pornographic images of young girls on Epstein’s computer, according to court records.
