# Google Calendar
## Summary
Google Calendar is Google's automated calendar notification system that sent [11,230 email notifications](/person/google-calendar-recovered) to Jeffrey Epstein's email accounts and staff between March 2011 and January 2024. These automated emails provide a detailed record of Epstein's schedule, including appointments with high-profile individuals, travel to his properties, reminders about legal obligations, and operational tasks. The calendar notifications were primarily received by [Lesley Groff](/person/lesley-groff-nameonly), Epstein's longtime assistant, who managed his calendar through the account [email protected]. The notifications document meetings with figures including [Leon Black](/person/leon-black), [Senator George Mitchell](/person/george-mitchell), [Woody Allen](/person/woody-allen), [Ehud Barak](/person/ehud-barak), [George Church](/person/george-church), and [Leon Botstein](/person/leon-botstein), as well as frequent trips to Epstein's private island and coordination of travel for young women.
The calendar system functioned as a administrative backbone for Epstein's operations, with notifications covering everything from [sex offender registration deadlines](/thread/EFTA02151661) to [appointments with unidentified individuals](/thread/EFTA02153198) to [island travel logistics](/drive/vol00011-efta02287753-pdf). The archive reveals how Epstein's daily schedule was meticulously managed through this automated system, providing investigators with timestamped documentation of his activities until shortly before his July 2019 arrest.
## Background
[Google Calendar](https://www.google.com/calendar/about/) is a time-management and scheduling service developed by Google that allows users to create events, set reminders, and receive automated email notifications. The service can send notifications to users' email addresses at specified times before scheduled events. In Epstein's network, Google Calendar notifications were sent from the address [email protected] to email accounts associated with Epstein and his staff, particularly Lesley Groff's personal Gmail account ([email protected]) and Epstein's [email protected] account.
The [release of Epstein documents by the Department of Justice](https://abcnews.go.com/US/doj-releasing-additional-material-epstein-files/story?id=129680518) in 2026 included calendar entries showing scheduled meetings with various individuals, including a ["ELON MUSK TO ISLAND DEC. 6TH"](/drive/vol00011-efta02288385-pdf) entry and a daily schedule noting "Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?)". [Recent reporting](https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/04/epstein-mount-sinai-jess-ting-dubin-00762767) has highlighted how calendar records documented appointments with doctors at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse, including late-night visits.
## Correspondence with Epstein
The archive contains 11,230 automated notifications from Google Calendar spanning from [March 23, 2011](/thread/vol00009-efta00418262-pdf) to [January 12, 2024](/thread/EFTA02150829). The overwhelming majority (11,196) were sent by the automated system, with only 34 instances where Google Calendar appears as a recipient of forwarded reminders. The notifications were primarily sent to Lesley Groff, who managed Epstein's calendar and received automated reminders for scheduled events.
The calendar notifications document a wide range of activities:
**High-Profile Appointments**: Reminders documented meetings with prominent individuals, including [10:30am appointments with Leon Black](/thread/EFTA02118359) on December 15, 2013 and [May 6, 2013](/thread/EFTA02140192), [lunch with George Church](/thread/EFTA02103740) on June 21, 2014, [dinner with Woody Allen](/thread/EFTA02129647) on September 4, 2013, [lunch with Senator George Mitchell](/thread/EFTA02122640) on November 6, 2013, [lunch with Ehud Barak](/thread/EFTA02136954) on June 4, 2013, [lunch with Sultan bin Sulayem and Steve Sinofsky](/thread/EFTA02127573) on September 25, 2013, and [dinner with Leon Botstein](/thread/EFTA02147134) on February 21, 2013.
**Island Travel Coordination**: Multiple notifications referenced trips to "the island" (Little St. James), including ["Trip to island"](/drive/vol00011-efta02287753-pdf) on May 23, 2019, ["Trip to island"](/drive/vol00011-efta02287369-pdf) on May 24, 2019, ["call Paul Gandy -when can he come to the island"](/drive/vol00011-efta02288385-pdf) on May 29, 2019, ["3BIS asking to visit island Feb. 2-5, hotels...are we purchasing for them?"](/drive/vol00011-efta02271834-pdf) on January 22, 2019, and ["booked Francis to the island on the 14th...can she send his details? does Brice know?"](/thread/EFTA02164379) on July 12, 2021.
**Travel for Young Women**: Calendar entries documented coordination of travel and accommodations for women with Eastern European names, including ["need deimante's tickets...let island know of her arrival. give her apt number, etc"](/drive/vol00011-efta02282826-pdf) on April 6, 2019, ["does JE want me to purchase ticket for Karyna or [redacted]"](/thread/EFTA02152887) on December 10, 2023, and ["does JE want food purchased for [redacted] arriving June 3? someone to pick her up?"](/thread/EFTA02138740) on May 28, 2013.
**Sex Offender Registration**: Notifications served as reminders for Epstein's legal obligations, including ["remind JE: If JE will be in FL anytime during Jan. you must RE- Register at the FL Stockade"](/thread/EFTA02151661) on December 28, 2023 and ["Reminder to register at the FL Stockade. If JE will be in FL anytime during July"](/thread/EFTA02168902) on June 1, 2023. These references to "the FL Stockade" appear to relate to Florida sex offender registration requirements.
**Legal Matters**: Calendar entries tracked litigation deadlines, including ["je's response to edward's request to produce and interrogatories re JE damages"](/thread/EFTA02179461) on November 28, 2023 and ["remind D: Privilege log re attorney's bills, Lilly to adv..."](/drive/vol00009-efta00418262-pdf) on March 12, 2012. A February 21, 2014 reminder noted ["Oral Argument before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta on the CVRA case"](/thread/EFTA02114205).
**Appointments with Unidentified Individuals**: Many calendar reminders referenced appointments with individuals whose names were redacted, including ["1:00 Appt w/ [REDACTED]"](/thread/EFTA02153198) on December 8, 2023, ["2:00 Appt w/ [redacted]'s friend"](/thread/EFTA02136254) on June 25, 2013, and ["1:00 Appt w/ [redacted] (Kira's friend) (Michaela)"](/thread/EFTA02130803) on August 22, 2013.

**Flight Alerts**: Google Calendar also generated automatic flight notifications based on emails received in Gmail, with alerts for flights to Saint Thomas ([BB 3529](/drive/vol00011-efta02213831-pdf), [B6 1236](/drive/vol00011-efta02219526-pdf), [AA 936](/drive/vol00011-efta02219521-pdf)), Albuquerque ([B6 65](/drive/vol00011-efta02215544-pdf)), San Juan ([9K 8081](/drive/vol00011-efta02215055-pdf)), Paris ([TK 1823](/drive/vol00011-efta02219472-pdf)), Moscow ([SU 103](/drive/vol00011-efta02217837-pdf)), and West Palm Beach ([DL 898](/drive/vol00011-efta02212890-pdf)).
The final notification in the archive was sent on [January 12, 2024](/thread/EFTA02150829), reminding Groff to ["send JE his schedule"](/thread/EFTA02150829) — more than four years after Epstein's death in August 2019,2019.suggestingThis suggests Groff continued maintaining the calendar system after his death, possibly for estate-related purposes or force of habit.
## Connections
The calendar notifications were primarily sent to and managed by [Lesley Groff](/person/lesley-groff-nameonly), Epstein's longtime executive assistant, with whom the system shared 3,550 emails. The notifications occasionally involved other Epstein staff and associates, including [Darren Indyke](/person/darren-indyke) (3 shared emails), [Karyna Shuliak](/person/karyna-shuliak) (1 shared email), and various email addresses associated with Groff's management of Epstein's affairs.
The calendar entries documented Epstein's interactions with dozens of prominent individuals, including financiers ([Leon Black](/person/leon-black)), politicians ([George Mitchell](/person/george-mitchell), [Ehud Barak](/person/ehud-barak)), academics ([George Church](/person/george-church), [Leon Botstein](/person/leon-botstein)), and cultural figures ([Woody Allen](/person/woody-allen)). The notifications also referenced staff members managing properties and logistics, including multiple mentions of "Brice" coordinating island visits.
## Document References
The calendar notifications appear extensively throughout the DOJ document release. The archive includes [automated flight alert notifications](/drive/vol00011-efta02218226-pdf) generated when Google Calendar detected flight information in incoming emails, creating calendar events automatically. These flight alerts documented travel patterns to Epstein's properties in Saint Thomas (near his private island), West Palm Beach (near his Florida residence), Albuquerque (near his New Mexico ranch), and international destinations.
Calendar documents also reveal the system's integration with other services, showing how [medical appointment notifications](/drive/vol00011-efta02213690-pdf) tracked procedures at specific addresses (["8:30am ARRIVE for procedure 9:00am Procedure w/Dr. Krumholtz 535 5th Ave (5th and 44th) 5th floor JOJO TO DRIVE YOU!"](/drive/vol00011-efta02213690-pdf) on May 31, 2017) and how [Disney trip planning](/drive/vol00011-efta02218603-pdf) was managed through calendar events (["Go to Disney's Magical Express on Side B, Level 1, Ground Transportation area of the airport"](/drive/vol00011-efta02218603-pdf) on June 25, 2017).
The calendar notifications frequently appear in investigative contexts alongside other evidence. For example, calendar entries about island visits often correspond with flight manifests, financial records for ticket purchases, and email correspondence arranging logistics. The automated nature of these notifications — with precise timestamps and event details — makes them particularly valuable as contemporaneous documentation of Epstein's schedule and activities.
## Visits to Epstein Properties

## Criminal Activity
The calendar notifications document conduct that falls within the scope of several federal statutes:
The system documented coordination of travel for young women to Epstein's island, including arranging tickets and notifying island staff of arrivals. A [April 6, 2019 notification](/drive/vol00011-efta02282826-pdf) stated ["need deimante's tickets...let island know of her arrival. give her apt number, etc"](/drive/vol00011-efta02282826-pdf), and a [December 10, 2023 reminder](/thread/EFTA02152887) asked ["does JE want me to purchase ticket for Karyna or [redacted]"](/thread/EFTA02152887). Such coordination of interstate and international travel for individuals in connection with Epstein's operations is relevant to [18 U.S.C. § 2421-2423](/jikipedia/criminal-statutes) (Mann Act violations, transportation for illegal sexual activity) and [18 U.S.C. § 1591](/jikipedia/criminal-statutes) (sex trafficking).
Calendar entries documenting appointments with unidentified individuals, particularly young women described as friends of others, at Epstein's residences constitute evidence potentially relevant to [18 U.S.C. § 1591](/jikipedia/criminal-statutes) (sex trafficking) and [18 U.S.C. § 2](/jikipedia/criminal-statutes) (aiding and abetting). The calendar notations about ["1:00 Appt w/ [redacted] (Kira's friend)"](/thread/EFTA02130803) and similar entries created documentation of meetings that investigators have examined in the context of Epstein's abuse.
The continuation of calendar operations and maintenance years after Epstein's death — with notifications sent as late as [January 2024](/thread/EFTA02150829) — raises questions about record preservation and potential obstruction. The systematic nature of calendar management, combined with evidence of redacted names and appointments, is relevant to [18 U.S.C. § 1512](/jikipedia/criminal-statutes) (witness tampering and obstruction) and [18 U.S.C. § 4](/jikipedia/criminal-statutes) (misprision of felony), particularly regarding staff members' knowledge and facilitation of Epstein's activities.
