20 witness. 21 MR. EDWARDS: Brad Edwards. I represent the 22 plaintiff, Jane Doe also "Jane Doe"; EW, "EW"; LM, 23 "LM" 24 MR. MERMELSTEIN: Stuart Mermelstein. I 25 represent Jane Doe Numbers 2 through 8. 0005 1 MR. PIKE: Michael Pike on behalf of Jeffrey 2 Epstein. 3 MR. ROSS: And good morning, my name is Alan 4 Ross. I represent the witness, 5 THE REPORTER: Would you raise your right 6 hand, please. 7 Do you solemnly swear or affirm the testimony 8 you're about to give will be the truth, and nothing 9 but the truth, so help you God? 10 THE WITNESS: I do. 11 MR. ROSS: Before the deposition begins and in 12 an effort to streamline the process of getting 13 through this deposition on behalf of the witness we 14 have had marked as Witness Exhibit Number 1 an 15 August 31, 2007 letter from the ' tates 16 Attorney's Office addressed to through 17 her then counsel, Bruce Lyons, which is called a 18 target letter identifying her as a target of a 19 federal Grand Jury investigation in the Southern 20 District of Florida and outlining a number of 21 offenses that were the subject matter of 22 investigation. 23 As a result of that, it is anticipated that 24 some of the questions that may be asked during the 25 course of this deposition she may invoke her Fifth 0006 1 Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. 2 And in order to streamline this we've agreed prior 3 to beginning this that she will simply answer "I 4 refuse to answer." The parties will understand and 5 the record will reflect that she is invoking her 6 Fifth Amendment privilege against 7 self-incrimination. 8 If there is some other privilege, 9 attorney-client privilege or some other objection 10 that I may have to a question, I'll specifically 11 state it. But her answer "I refuse to answer" will 12 be on Fifth Amendment grounds if that's acceptable 13 to everyone. 14 MR. EDWARDS: It's acceptable. 15 MR. MERMELSTEIN: It's acceptable. 16 MR. PIKE: Acceptable. 17 MR. ROSS: Okay. Madam court reporter has 18 already marked the exhibit, and I'll leave that 19 with her. 20 MR. EDWARDS: Okay. 21 22 23 24 25 0007 1 THEREUPON: 2 3 having been first duly sworn or affirmed, was examined 4 and testified as follows: EFTA00182420

4 MR. ROSS: Invoke. 5 A. I refuse to answer. 6 Q. Let me just read you the lewd or lascivious 7 molestation statute and then I'm going to ask you some 8 questions about it. 9 It says: "A person who intentionally touches 10 in a lewd or lascivious manner the breasts, genitals, 11 genital area or buttocks or the clothing covering them 12 of a person less than 16 years of age or forces or 13 entices a person under 16 years of age to so touch the 14 perpetrator, commits lewd or lascivious molestation, a 15 second degree felony." 16 After hearing that statute isn't that 17 something -- isn't that a crime that you know 18 Mr. Epstein to have committed on an everyday basis 19 while you were working for him? 20 MR. PIKE: Form. 21 A. I refuse to answer. 22 Q. And that's a statute that he violated with 23 more than 100 underage females; is that true? 24 MR. PIKE: Form. 25 A. I refuse to answer. 0025 1 Q.

I refuse to answer. 21 Q. I realize some of these questions may sound 22 repetitive but during this case we've learned of key 23 terms that different people on Mr. Epstein's let's say 24 payroll or inner circle recognize or talk about. So 25 when I talk about "massages", do you know what that 0026 1 term means? 2 MR. PIKE: Form. 3 A. I refuse to answer. 4 Q. Isn't "massage" the word that was told by 5 Jeffrey Epstein to all of his employees to refer to 6 whatever acts he engages in with underage females in 7 his bedroom? 8 MR. PIKE: Form. 9 A.

Now, just so that the record is clear there is 21 not a single piece of evidence that ever indicates that 22 you were involved with underage females, I'm not even 23 implying that and I realize that you invoking it may -- 24 may give the wrong light and that's not -- that's not 25 my intention, so -- but were you ever aware of participating in sex with underage females? 2 A. I refuse to answer. 3 Q. Have you read the police reports related to 4 the criminal investigation into Mr. Epstein? 5 A. I refuse to answer. 6 Q. And you're aware of this 87-page police report 7 that details numerous females that indicate that they 8 were involved sexually with Mr. Epstein when they were 9 minors? 10 A. I refuse to answer. 11 MR. PIKE: Form. 12 Q. Did anyone instruct you to use the code word 13 "massage"? 14 A. I refuse to answer. 15 Q. And when referring to these underage minor 16 females that would come over to Mr. Epstein's house did 17 anybody also tell you to use the term "work"? 18 A. I refuse to answer. 19 MR. PIKE: Form. 20 Q. Meaning when somebody would call to schedule 21 one of these underage females for a massage isn't it 22 true that they would say "It's time to come to work" 23 and schedule a specific appointment? 24 MR. PIKE: Form. 25 A. I refuse to answer. 0028 1 Q. Is there a book or manual or is it written 2 anywhere that the -- that sex with underage minors is 3 to be referred to as a "massage"? 4 A. I refuse to answer. 5 MR. PIKE: Form. 6 Q.
