Details:
In October 2009, Miami Division opened an obstruction
of justice case against ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ. RODRIGUEZ was the
previous house manager and butler to Palm Beach County resident
JEFFREY EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN was the subject of child prostitution,
31E matter, worked by Miami Division beginning in 2006.
Investigation of EPSTEIN revealed that he brought underage girls
to his home to perform massages and paid them to engage in sex
acts with himself and one another. The U.S. Attorney's Office
entered into a non-prosecution agreement with EPSTEIN where
EPSTEIN pled guilty tO state offenses in Florida state court.
EPSTEIN was sentenced to a period of state prison followed by
community supervision as a registered sex offender. EPSTEIN
completed his community supervision in July 2010.
EPSTEIN's victims filed suit against EPSTEIN in state
and federal court seeking damages in civil litigation. During the
discovery process, RODRIGUEZ was deposed by attorney BRADLEY
EDWARDS who represented several of the victims. After his
deposition, RODRIGUEZ contacted EDWARDS and advised that he had
lists of additional victims that he had not previously disclosed

to law enforcement during the criminal investigation or after
being served with a subpoena in the civil case. RODRIGUEZ advised he
would
not turn the information over to the attorney but
instead wanted monetary compensation. In November 2009, RODRIGUEZ
attempted to sell the information to a UCE for $50,000.00, which
resulted in the above captioned case.
Approximately three weeks ago, information was provided
to Miami Division, PBCRA, that ROBERT COUTURIER, an interior
designer and architect based in New York, was hired by EPSTEIN
for remodeling and design services at EPSTEIN's residence located
in the Virgin Islands. COUTURIER reportedly designed a bedroom in
EPSTEIN's island residence with decor and furniture appropriate
for teenage girls, with pink furnishings and bunk beds. In
addition, COUTURIER reported seeing EPSTEIN in the company of
what appeared to be an underage girl. It is unclear whether the
underage girl with EPSTEIN was observed at the Virgin Island
residence or at EPSTEIN's Palm Beach County home. EPSTEIN and
COUTURIER may be currently involved in civil litigation against
one another for services COUTURIER provided.
It is requested that New York Division interview
