In September 2007, following state and federal
investigations into allegations of Epstein’s unlawful
sexual activity, Epstein entered into an NPA with
USAO-SDFL. In the NPA, Epstein agreed to plead
guilty to one count of solicitation of prostitution, in
violation of Florida Statutes § 796.07,? and to one
count of solicitation of minors to engage in prostitu-

agreed to receive a sentence of eighteen months’
imprisonment on the two charges. In consideration of
Epstein’s agreement, the NPA states that “the United

criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators
of Epstein, including but not limited to Sarah Kellen,
Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, or Nadia Marcinkova.”
