Re: Request for Tangible and Documentary Evidence (Touhy Request) Victim: Dear Mr. Kochevar: In follow up to our previous communications, please accept this as our formal written request for documentary and tangible evidence currently in the in the possession, custody, and control of the Department of Justice by way of the Southern District of New York relating to the sexual abuse of one of Jeffrey Epstein's many victims, Jane Doe 2.' See United States ex rel. Touhy v. Ragen, 340 U.S. 462 (1951). We make this written request pursuant to the Touhy regulations codified as 28 C.F.R. § 16.21 et seq. Should you find there to be any deficiencies within this request, please notify us and we will do what is necessary to correct any such shortcomings. EFTA00091404 Page 2 I) Photographs of Jane Doe 2; 2) Videos of Jane Doe 2; 3) Any and all correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein, his agents, employees, medical providers, or attorneys and Jane Doe 2; 4) Any and all records of purchases of gifts or anything of value purchased for or sent to Jane Doe 2; 5) Any and all records showing that a letter or package was sent via U.S. Mail, UPS, FedEx, or by any other means of shipping from Jeffrey Epstein, his agents, or his employees to Jane Doe 2; 6) Any and all records of payments made to medical providers on behalf of Jane Doe 2; 7) Any and all documents including Jane Doe 2's true name; 8) Any and all lists including Jane Doe 2's true name; and 9) Any and all other documentary materials relating in any way to Jane Doe 2. Pursuant to the Touhy regulations set forth by the Department of Justice, the Deputy or Associate Attorney General assesses the following considerations in determining whether disclosure is warranted: (a)( I ) Whether such disclosure is appropriate under the rules of procedure governing the case or mater in which the demand arose; (a)(2) Whether disclosure is appropriate under the relevant substantive law of privilege. This request satisfies both of these considerations. As explained previously, the requested non-privileged documentary evidence directly concerns the allegations in Doe's civil case. Due to the establishment of the Epstein Victim Compensation Program that is currently underway, Jane Doe 2 seeks this information in order to properly submit her claim for consideration, and if necessary, to proceed by way of formal litigation. The requested information is within the scope of ordinary practice and does not seek disclosure of information prohibited by statute or regulation. Furthermore, this request does not seek information that is classified or that would reveal the source or identity of any informant. To that effect, Jane Doe 2 specifically does not request any investigatory records compiled for law enforcement purposes that would interfere with ongoing law enforcement proceedings. Jane Doe 2 simply requests information in the Government's possession that will assist in the prosecution of her claims and ultimately, aid in her ability to finally obtain the justice that she deserves. To the extent that the requested materials can be made available to Jane Doe 2 on an expedited basis, it would be greatly appreciated.
