The events at issue occurred in 2004 and 2005. The matter was investigated during the course of nearly a year beginning in March 2005 by the Palm Beach County Police Department (PBPD). As will be discussed in detail below, it appears that a PBPD detective formed a view early on as to the criminality of the conduct of Jeffrey Epstein (Epstein). That view tainted both the determination of what to include in the Police Report' and led the PBPD to ignore evidence that did not support the initial conclusion of the investigating officers, including ignoring material evidence supplied to the State Attorney by defense counsel. We understand that the PBPD has sought your intervention in this matter; we also believe that the misleading and inaccurate reports of the PBPD may well have affected how you view the A copy of the unredacted Police Report, to which we make reference throughout the letter, is provided at Tab 1. Note, pages 81 - 87 are taken from the redacted Police Report because we do not have an unredacted copy of these pages.
