owned by Hyperion and J.E.G.E.? 
2 
A 
Yes.

Q 
Did you also get corporate documents related to 
4 
those two planes? 
5 
A 
Yes, we have. 
6 
Q 
Once you had obtained all of this information, 
7 
did the FBI analyze the data, specifically the call 
8 
information and the flight information to put together a 
9 
pattern of activity by the defendants? 
10 
A 
Yes, we did. 
11 
Q 
So you have a series of phone calls coming from 
12 
these three assistants who were on the board, the two 
13 
girls who have been identified through this investigation? 
14 
A 
Yes. 
15 
Q 
When you spoke with those girls, did any of them 
16 
tell you that they had developed some sort of a personal 
17 
relationship with the assistants so that they were just 
18 
chatting over the telephone? 
19 
A 
No, not at all. 
20 
Q 
All of them said what about the phone calls? 
21 
A 
Said that the phone calls were made to set up 
22 
appointments for Mr. Epstein. 
23 
Q 
And the girls referred to it as appointments to 
24 
work, is that right? 
25

one exception, 
we're going to talk about her 
2 
probably next week. She did say on one or two occasions 
3 
that 
had called her when she had gone out 
4 
to California on a trip, I believe. But that is the only 
5 
time that that was ever mentioned. In fact, we asked, and 
6 
those phone calls were made for the purpose of setting up 
7 
appointments for Mr. Epstein. 
8 
Q 
Is the investigation continuing? 
9 
A 
Yes, it is. 
10 
Q

11 
more girls?

A 
Yes. 
13 
Q 
Let's turn to the specific evidence reporting 
14 
the overt acts and offenses relating to Jane Doe's 1 
15 
through 5. I know that every member of the grand jury has 
16 
a copy of the draft indictment before them, and also a 
17 
chart. 
18 
Do you have a copy of that chart as well? 
19 
A 
I do. 
20 
Q 
Do you have photographs of the five girls that 
21 
we are going to talk about today? 
22 
A 
Yes. 
23 
Q 
And these are photographs of the people that we 
24

JUROR: The purpose of Epstein's business with 
13 
his planes, did he transport? 
14 
THE WITNESS: To travel around. 
15 
JUROR: So it wasn't like a business of 
16 
transporting other people? 
17 
THE WITNESS: He flew other guests, sometimes 
18 
unaccompanied, sometimes accompanied.

25 
JUROR: Kellin, Ross and Marcenkova, do you have 
of the recruits? 
THE WITNESS: we have evidence that they are his 
personal assistants employed by him, not that it was 
anything like what we were discussing. 
JUROR: There was an allegation that was made 
EFTA00226580
Sivu 186 / 453
Page 24 
1 
earlier, back in February, during one of these 
2 
discussions, about a specilic act that was performed. 
3 
Can I ask about that? We were told back in February 
4 
that one of the girls when interviewed had alleged 
5 
rape, and I hadn't heard about that allegation 
6 
recently. 
7 
THE WITNESS: That's probably Jane Doe Number 6. 
8 
We're going to talk about her, that he lorcibly put 
9 
her on the table and penetrated her. Yeah, she will 
10 
be coming up. We're going to do her probably next 
11 
week. She'll be the first one we'll talk about.

So turning to Jane Doe Number 1, 
R. You
14

16 
A 
Yes, I did. 
17 
Q 
And she also testified before this grand jury, 
18 
correct? 
19 
A 
Yes. 
20

21 
A 
She was born on April 9, 1986. 
22 
Q 
Could you briefly refresh the grand jury's 
23 
recollection of how she was recruited? 
24 
A 
She was approached on a beach by Molly Smyth and 
25 
Tony Figurello (phonetic). They approached her on a beach

and asked her if she wanted to perform massages for 
Mr. Epstein and make some money. 
Q 
From the review of the phone records that you 
have received, were you able to identify a telephone 
number associated with Tony Figurello? 
A 
Yes. 
In tact, has Tony Figurello been interviewed? 
A 
Yes, he has. 
Q 
And has he admitted to being a recruiter for Mr. 
Epstein? 
A 
Yes, recruiter and driver. 
II you could take a look at Overt Act Number 2, 
which appears on page five. That states, "On or about 
March 12, 2004, defendants Jeffrey Epstein and Sara Kellin 
caused Jane Doe Number 1 to travel to 358 Brillo Way of 
Palm Beach, Florida." 
Can you tell us what evidence you have regarding 
that? 
A 
We have reviewed phone records for 
and 
Sara that indicate the calls took place, as well as phone 
records for Tony Figurello and 
and calls that took 
place on or about those dates. We've also looked at a 
flight manifest, and were able to show that Mr. Epstein 
arrived the day before, on the 11th. We also have 
statement where she describes the sexual activity that 
EFTA00226582
Sivu 188 / 453
Page 26

took place. 
2 
Q 
On that date, March 12 of 2004, 
described 
3 
going to Mr. Epstein's house and performing a sexual 
4 
massage? 
5 
A 
Yes, on or about that day. 
6 
Q 
On or about that date, what did 
state 
7 
about being paid? 
8 
A 
She was paid $200. 
9 
Q 
And that relates to Overt Act Number 3? 
10 
A 
Yes. 
11 
Q 
And she stated that Mr. Epstein is the person 
12 
who gave her that? 
13 
A 
She told us that in her statement. 
14 
Q 
If you could take a look at Overt Act Number 95, 
15 
which is on page 17. On or about February 6, 2005, 
16 
Epstein had Jane Doe Number 1 to make one or more 
17 
telephone calls to Jane Doe Number 2. 
18 
First of all, who is Jane Doe Number 2? 
19 
A 
That would be 
G., our youngest victim. 
20 
Q 
Can you tell us what evidence you have related 
21 
to that overt act? 
22 
A 
We have the girl's statements that calls were 
23 
made. We also reviewed the phone records that indicated 
24 
that there was telephonic contact between the numbers 
25 
belonging to 
and

Q 
And in the statement of both girls, did they 
describe that 
is the person who called 
looking for someone to come and work at Mr. Epstein's 
house? 
A 
Yes. 
Q 
Looking at Overt Act Number 96. On or about 
February 6, 2005, Epstein caused Jane Doe Number 1 to 
transport Jane Doe Number 2 to 358 El Brillo Way. 
What is the evidence related to that? 
A 
Again, the statements of 
and ■ 
support 
that as further evidence, and also reviewing the phone 
records they indicate that there was telephonic contact 
between Sara Kellin and 
and 
and 
Q 
Overt Act Number 97, on or about February 6, 
2005, Epstein made a payment of $300 to Jane Doe Number 2 
and a payment of $200 to Jane Doe Number 1. 
What was the evidence of that? 
A 
Both 
and 
stated in their statements 
that ■ 
was paid $300, and 
was paid $200 for 
bringing 
Q 
Did ■ 
explain why she was paid $300? 
A 
Yes, she was paid $300 because she performed her 
massage. Mr. Epstein digitally penetrated and used a 
massager on Sage's vagina.

$300 found in ■ 
G.'s purse when it was searched at her 
school? 
A 
Yes, it was, by a school administrator. 
Q 
If you could look at Overt Act Number 117, which 
is on page 19, and that states that on or about March 30, 
2005, Kellin caused one or more calls to be made to a 
telephone used by Jane Doe Number 1. 
What evidence do you have related to that? 
A 
We reviewed the phone records of Sara Kellin and 
that indicate this. 
Q 
And Overt Act 120, on or about March 31, Kellin 
caused one or more calls to be made to a telephone used by 
Jane Doe Number 1. 
A 
Again, we reviewed the phone records that 
indicated there was telephonic contact between the numbers 
belonging to Sara and Haley. 
Q 
Then we have Overt Act Number 122, which is also 
March 31, that Epstein and Kellin caused Jane Doe Number 1 
to make a call to a telephone used by Jane Doe Number 2. 
What evidence do you have related to that? 
A 
We have phone records that we have reviewed 
belonging to Haley and 
In this case, we also have a 
voice mail that was provided to us b the Palm Beach 
Police Department, a voice mail of 
leaving a voice 
mail message on 
s phone.

What evidence do you have related to that? 
A 
we have reviewed the phone records of 
and 
that indicate telephonic contact was made on this 
day. We also again have another recorded voice mail by 
left on 
phone. 
Q 
These later calls, the March-April calls, are 
those the controlled calls that the Palm Beach Police 
Department was involved in? 
A 
There was controlled calls placed to 
's 
cell phone and to 
place of work by 
under the 
supervision of the Palm Beach Police Department. 
of 
Q 
And the voice mail message that you referred to 
calling 
what information was 
leaving 
in that voice mail message? 
A 
was asking for Sage to get back in touch, 
that she had set up an appointment for 
at Epstein's 
house on the following day, on that Saturday at around 
10:30 or 11:00. 
Q 
In addition to the phone records, was there 
anything that the Palm Beach Police Department found that 
also confirmed that this appointment actually was made. 
A 
As I mentioned earlier, the Palm Beach Police 
Department was doing trash pulls on Mr. Epstein's 
residence. In there, there were two messages or notes in 
EFTA00226586
Sivu 192 / 453
Page 30 
1 
there on Epstein's personalized stationary. On it it 
2 
said, " 
with Sage on Saturday at 10:30, and 
on 
3 
Saturday with 
at 10:30." That's the exact message on 
4 
the two notes that were found in his trash when they 
5 
retrieved it on April 8. 
6 
Q 
If I could direct your attention to Count Number 
7 
Five, which appears on page 26. That is the charge of 
8 
enticement of a minor, referring to Jane Doe Number 1, and 
9 
Mr. Epstein and Miss Kellin are charged. 
10 
I know that you talked about the telephone 
11 
traffic. The calls between 
and Tony Figurello, did 
12 
they fall within that March 7 through March 11 time 
13 
period? 
14 
A 
A review of their telephone records do indicate 
15 
that there were phone calls made during that time. 
16 
Q 
And Jane Doe Number 1 actually went to Mr. 
17 
Epstein's home? 
18 
A 
Yes, and performed a massage for him in the 
19 
nude. 
20 
Q 
And she was paid 'or that? 
21 
A 
Yes, she was paid $200. 
22 
Q 
And he masturbated in front of her, correct? 
23 
A 
Yes, he did. I would like to include that Sara 
24 
Kellin took 
upstairs for that massage, and she also 
25 
set up the massage table and arranged the oil and lotions 
EFTA00226587
Sivu 193 / 453
Page 31 
1 
for 
to do that massage. 
2 
Q 
And also, just so it's clear, how old was 
3 
at that time? 
4 
A 
She was 17. 
5 
MS. VILLAFANA: Are there any questions about 
6 
either how that evidence was presented or about the 
7 
charges related to Jane Doe Number 1? Seeing no 
8 
questions, we'll turn to Jane Doe Number 2. 
9 
BY MS. IILLAFANA: 
10 
Q 
You previously mentioned that that was ■ 
G.? 
11 
A 
Yes. 
12 
Q 
Let's turn to Count Number Six, which is on page 
13 
26, which is the enticement of ■ 
G. If you could tell 
14 
the grand jury about the evidence related to that. 
15 
A 
date of birth is 
16 
Q 
So during this period of February 5, 2005 to the 
17 
6th, how old was she? 
18 
A 
She was 14. 
19 
Q 
Can you remind the grand jury about the evidence 
20 
related to the enticement of 
21 
A 
As we stated earlier, we talked about the 
22 
telephone calls. We have shown that the facility of 
23 
interstate commerce was used by the telephone calls made 
24 
by their cell phones. We examined specifically Sara 
25 
Kellin's, 
and 
Those calls were made to 
EFTA00226588
Sivu 194 / 453
Page 32 
1 
set up and arrange appointments for Mr. Epstein to have 
2 
his massages. 
3 
Pertaining to 
during the massage that 
4 
occurred on those dates, February 6, in particular, I 
5 
think I have discussed with you before what occurred on 
6 
that, that he fingered IIIII- and that was his term for 
7 
it -- and that he used a massager on her. 
8 
He did masturbate during that massage, and she 
9 
believed he ejaculated because he wiped off his penis with 
io 
a towel. She was paid $300, and we know that she was 14 
11 
at the time. 
12 
Q 
If we could turn to Count Number 43, which 
13 
appears on page 31. Count 43 is one of the travel counts. 
14 
If you could tell the grand jury, did a trip occur on 
15 
March 31, 2005? 
16 
A 
Yes, we have flight records that indicate a 
17 
flight occurred on that date. 
18 
Q 
What type of plane was used? 
19 
A 
I'm going to refer to the J.E.G.E., Incorporated 
20 
aircraft as just the Boeing 727. If we talk about the 
21 
Hyperion Air, Incorporated aircraft, which is the Gulf 
22 
Stream, I will just say the Gulf Stream. So on that date 
23 
he did travel on his Boeing 727, on 3-31. 
24 
Q 
And Mr. Epstein was aboard the plane on that 
25 
day? 
EFTA00226589
Sivu 195 / 453
Page 33 
1 
A 
Yes, he was. 
2 
Q 
With respect to the March 31st trip, was there 
3 
evidence of him setting up the appointment with ■ 
prior 
4 
to that trip? 
A 
We do have telephonic contact between 
and 
6 
IIIIIIIIIII 
as well as 
and ■ 
on the day before 
7 
and the day of travel. 
8 
Q 
And even though that appointment was never kept, 
9 
that ■ 
never went to that appointment, you have the 
10 
notes that were retrieved from the garbage that showed 
11 
that Mr. Epstein was expecting ■ 
to show up for that 
12 
appointment? 
13 
A 
Yes. 
14 
Q 
Anything else with respect to that particular 
15 
count? 
16 
A 
We also have the controlled calls and the voice 
17 
mails. 
18 
Q 
Turning to Count Number 60, which appears on 
19 
page 34, that is the attempted enticement of ■ 
G. 
10 
during the period of March 30 to April 1. 
21 
Again, at that point, ■ 
G. was how old? 
22 
A 
She was 14. 
23 
Q 
And we had talked about the telephone calls that 
24 
were used. One of the things that is relevant to this 
25 
particular count was that in addition to the fact that 
EFTA00226590
Sivu 196 / 453
Page 34 
1 
■ 
G. was 14, did you interview a girl who went with 
2 
■ 
when she went to Mr. Epstein's house back in 
3 
February? 
4 
A 
Yes, we did, that would be 
5 
Q 
And 
was interviewed? 
6 
A
