EPSTEIN EYES SEX-RAP RELIEF
October 9, 2007 -- LAWYERS for Jeffrey Epstein - the billionaire Manhattan
investment manager who's agreed to plead guilty to soliciting underage
prostitutes at his Palm Beach mansion in exchange for just 18 months in the
slammer - are mulling asking federal prosecutors to drop their demand that he
register as a sex offender. In a letter drafted, but not sent, to U.S. Attomey
Alexander Costa and obtained by Page Six, Epstein's lawyer, Gerald
Lefcourt, writes, "Doing so will have a profound impact [on Epstein] both
immediately and forever after. Not only will he be restricted to a wholly
inappropriate penal facility, but he will be required for the rest of his life to
account for his whereabouts." Epstein, a former business partner of Daily
News owner Mort Zuckerman, pleaded guilty to a state charge in exchange
for the feds' dropping their probe into possible federal criminal violations.
Lefcourt argues that only the feds have demanded that Epstein register,
"despite the fact that the state was of the view that Mr. Epstein's conduct did
not warrant registration? A rep for Epstein had no comment.
