## Case Summary:

FBI New York, in coordination with the Southern District of New York's United States Attorney's Office, has been investigating the sexual exploitation and abuse of minors committed by JEFFREY EPSTEIN and his co-conspirators. EPSTEIN was charged and arrested with sex trafficking and conspiracy in July 2019. In addition to EPSTEIN, co-conspirators have also been investigated, including GHISLAINE MAXWELL.

MAXWELL was charged and arrested in July 2020 with enticement of a minor, transportation of a minor, conspiracy to entice a minor, conspiracy to transport a minor, and perjury.

Purpose of Travel (victim interview(s); witness interview(s); search warrant; arrest warrant; etc.): We will be meeting with a victim and to conduct an interview pertaining to her abuse by EPSTEIN and MAXWELL. Victim has been interviewed over video conference in the past but we hope to conduct a more in depth interview in person as she may be chosen as a trial witness against MAXWELL.

Has a CAFI been consulted if interviewing minor(s)? If no, explain? N/A
