In particular, and as alleged in the Indictment, when a \nvictim arrived at the Subject Premises, she would be escorted to a room inside the Subject Premises \nwith a massage table, where she would perform a massage on EPSTEIN.. The victims, who were \nas young as 14 years of age, were told by EPSTEIN or other individuals to partially or fully undress \nbefore beginning the \"massage.\" During the encounter, EPSTEIN would escalate the nature and \nscope of physical contact with his victim to include, among other things, sex acts such as groping \nand direct and indirect contact with the victims' genitals.

In my training and experience, individuals who store nude and/or sexually suggestive \nphotographs of minors on compact discs or other external storage devices typically access those \nimages from computers and other electronic devices in order to view those images, and individuals \nwho store such materials on compact discs typically store similar files on other computing devices \nand storage devices. \n19. \nAccording to recent media reporting, Epstein has hosted one or more individuals at \nthe Subject Premises as recently as a few months ago, as of July 2019, and one individual has been \nquoted in recent reporting stating that the individual was present with Epstein in the Subject \nPremises during that time.
