Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 361-27 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/10/2016 Page 2 of 4 DECLARATION OF 1. My name is • and I was born in 2. I was paid by Jeffrey Epstein to interact sexually with him as a minor on dozens of occasions in his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida from around 2002 to 2005, and also to bring him other girls who were my approximate age for the same purposes. I understand that evidence collected fi-om Epstein's home showed conclusively that I was there as a minor, along with many other underage girls. Given how many girls Epstein was sexually abusing, there could not have been any doubt in anyone's mind that had access to the testimonial and other evidence that Epstein sexually molested me as a minor (and many others). 3. My son was very young when the FBI came to speak with me the first time. I did not know what to do and I was scared. I called Epstein, who told me not to wofry and that he would hire an attorney for me. I believed that if I told the truth about what happened at Epstein's house, the police would take my baby from me. That made me really scared. 4. Through the attorney that Jeffrey Epstein obtained for me, it was arranged for me to give a statement to the prosecutor investigating Epstein. 5. While with the attorney Epstein obtained for me I gave a statement to the prosecutor that was favorable to Epstein. The prosecutors knew the truth because of the volume of evidence they had, and they continued to recognize me as a victim of Epstein's crimes. 6. I had been greatly intimidated, which is why I could not be truthful initially and I wanted to end the threat of the possibility of my child being taken. My involvement with Epstein from a very young age was a deep, dark secret and Epstein told me to keep it a secret. I knew that I was expected to keep it a secret. 7. The more I thought about what was going on, the more I realized that what Epstein had done to both me and my friends was wrong and that anyone who was not very wealthy would be punished. At this time, I EFTA00184404

Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 361-27 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/10/2016 Page 3 of 4 wanted Epstein held accountable the same way anyone else would be. I spoke about this with one of my friends around May 2008. I then called an attorney, Brad Edwards, around June 2008, understanding that he was hired to get the prosecutors to talk to us and hear the truth from me. That was especially important to me because I was finally represented by someone other than Epstein's attorney and wanted to talk to the prosecutors about everything I knew. 8. The prosecutors had a lot of information revealing the truth about the situation at Epstein's house. I had lot of information, too, because I was one of the young teenagers who had brought many other young teenagers to Epstein for the purpose of getting paid by Epstein. I wanted to assist the prosecutors in the investigation. I hired Mr. Edwards to let them know that I was cooperative and ready to tell them all of the helpful information I had. I understood that Mr. Edwards did that. 9. I authorized Mr. Edwards to join me in the lawsuit against the U.S. Attorney's Office to enforce my rights and to try to get me my chance to confer with the prosecutors before Mr. Epstein took a plea or the case was resolved in any way. I just wanted to be treated fairly in the process. 10. When Epstein pled guilty to a state crime at the end of June 2008, no one notified me that his plea had anything to do with my case against him. I did not know, for example, that this plea had some connection to a crime he committed against me particularly. In fact, at this young age, I had no idea what was going on and nobody tried to explain it to me. 11. In July 2008, I attended a federal court hearing with Mr. Edwards. It was then that I learned for the first time at that hearing that the prosecutors worked out some sort of secret deal with Epstein that might block his prosecution for crimes against me. It also appeared that there was a lot of continued communication between Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office. I was really upset that the U.S. Attorney's Office seemed like it would not talk with me or the other victims about what was going on. It was easier to get them to talk to me when I was represented by Epstein's attorney. EFTA00184405

I wanted to see this secret deal that the Government had with Epstein, but they would not give it to me at the hearing. Later, the other victims and I finally got to see the secret deal after the judge forced the prosecutors to show it to us. 13. I understand that I did not initially help the investigation by speaking on Epstein's behalf untruthfully. But I was intimidated and had good reason to protect myself and my son — reasons that I think everyone who was talking to me could obviously see. Also, the agents and attorneys obviously had a lot of evidence that provided proof of what Epstein had actually done. Epstein was still supporting me, providing me a lawyer and in my mind protecting me, so I was in a position where I felt I had to say certain things. And Epstein expected me to say those things. 14. Once I wanted to cooperate and tried to cooperate, I was never given the opportunity to confer with prosecutors from the time they were informed by my attorney that I was a cooperating witness. I was never told about the secret deal until after it was already concluded. I would have had my attorney object if I had been given the chance. 15. I don't feel like I was treated fairly in this process. And I know Epstein got a really good plea deal because he is rich and powerful. That doesn't seem fair either.

This Court has venue of this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b), as a substantial part of the events giving rise to the claim occurred in this District. STATEMENT OF FACTS 8. At all relevant times, Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, was an adult male, spanning the ages of 45 and 55 years old. Epstein is known as a billionaire financier and money manager with a secret clientele limited exclusively to billionaires. He is a man of tremendous wealth, power, and influence. He owns a fleet of aircraft that includes a Gulfstream IV, a helicopter, and a Boeing 727, as well as a fleet of motor vehicles. Until his incarceration, he maintained his principal place of residence in the largest home in Manhattan, a 51,000-square-foot eight-story mansion on the Upper East Side. Upon information and belief, he also owns a $6.8 million mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, a $30 million 7,500-acre ranch in New Mexico he named "Zorro," a 70-acre private island known as Little St. James in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, a mansion in London's Westminster neighborhood, and a home in the Avenue Foch area of Paris. The allegations herein concern Defendant's conduct while at his lavish homes and/or numerous other locations both nationally and internationally. 9. Upon information and belief, Defendant has a sexual preference for underage minor girls. He engaged in a plan, scheme, or enterprise in which he gained access to countless vulnerable and relatively economically disadvantaged minor girls, and sexually assaulted, molested, and/or exploited these girls, and then gave them money. 10. Beginning in or around 1998 through in or around September 2007, Defendant used his resources and his influence over vulnerable minor girls to engage in a systematic pattern of sexually exploitative behavior. 2 Podhurst Orseck, P.A. 25 Welt Plaster Street, Suitt 800.

casecWwdEaNskARP93MA5130ERrseslagAbBees%/MBilOaga9s(429f II. Defendant's plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method. Defendant coerced and enticed impressionable, vulnerable, and relatively economically less fortunate minor girls to participate in various acts of sexual misconduct that he committed upon them. Defendant's scheme involved the use of underage girls, as well as other individuals, to recruit other underage girls. Upon information and belief, Defendant and/or an authorized agent would call and alert Defendant's assistants shortly before or after he arrived at his Palm Beach residence. His assistants would call economically disadvantaged and underage girls from West Palm Beach and surrounding areas who would be enticed by the money being offered and who Defendant and/or his assistants perceived as less likely to complain to authorities or have credibility issues if allegations of improper conduct were made. The then minor Plaintiff and other minor girls, some as young as 12 years old, were transported to Defendant's Palm Beach mansion by Defendant's employees, agents, and/or assistants in order to provide Defendant with "massages." 12. Many of the instances of illegal sexual conduct committed by Defendant were perpetrated with the assistance, support, and facilitation of at least three assistants who helped him orchestrate this child exploitation enterprise. These assistants would often arrange times for underage girls to come to Defendant's residence, transport or cause the transportation of underage girls to Defendant's residence, escort the underage girls to the massage room where Defendant would be waiting or would enter shortly thereafter, urge the underage girls to remove their clothes, deliver cash from Defendant to the underage girls and/or their procurers at the conclusion of each "massage appointment," and, upon information and belief, take nude photographs and/or videos of the underage girls for Defendant with and/or without their knowledge. Defendant would pay the procurer of each girl's "appointment" hundreds of dollars. 3 Podhurst Orseck, P.A. 25 Wert Flagkr Street, Suite SOO, Miami, FL 33130, Miami 305.356= Fax 305.358.2382 • Fort Lauderdale 951.463.4316 EFTA00184417

Epstein designed this scheme to secure a private place in Defendant's Palm Beach mansion where only persons employed and invited by Epstein would be present, so as to reduce the chance of detection of Defendant's sexual abuse and prostitution as well as to make it more difficult for the minor girls to flee the premises and/or to credibly report his actions to law enforcement or other authorities. The girls were usually transported by his employees, agents, and/or assistants or by a taxicab paid for by Defendant in order to make it difficult for the girls to flee his mansion. 14. Upon arrival at Defendant's Palm Beach mansion, each underage victim would generally be introduced to one of Defendant's assistants, who would gather the girl's personal contact information. The minor girl would then be led up a flight of stairs to a room that contained a massage table and a large shower. The staircase leading to the room was plastered with nude photographs of young girls, including some photographs depicting two or more young girls engaged in lewd acts. Upon information and belief, Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, had such photographs in each of his six homes and/or on his computers. 15. At times, if it was the girl's first "massage" appointment, another female would be in the room to "lead the way" until Defendant would have her leave. Generally, Defendant would start his massage wearing only a small towel, which eventually would be removed. Defendant and/or the other female would direct the girl to massage him, giving the minor girl specific instructions as to where and how he wanted to be touched, and then direct her to remove her clothing. lie would then perform one or more lewd, lascivious, and sexual acts, including masturbation, fondling the minor's breasts and/or sexual organs, touching the minor's vulva, vagina, and/or anus with a vibrator and/or back massager and/or his finger(s) and/or his penis, digitally penetrating her vagina, performing intercourse, oral sex, and/or anal sex, and/or coercing or attempting to coerce the girl to engage in lewd acts and/or prostitution and/or 4 Podhurst Orseck, P.A.

The exact degree of molestation and frequency with which the sexual exploitations took place varied and is not yet completely known; however, Defendant committed such acts regularly on a daily basis and, in most instances, several times a day. In order to facilitate the daily exchanges of money for sexual assault and abuse, Defendant kept U.S. currency readily available. 16. Defendant, Epstein, traveled to his mansion in Palm Beach for the purpose of luring minor girls to his mansion to sexually abuse and/or batter them. He used the telephone to contact these minor girls for the purpose of coercing them into acts of prostitution and to enable himself to commit sexual battery against them and/or acts of lewdness in their presence, and he conspired with others, including assistants and/or his driver(s) and/or pilot(s), and his socialite friend/partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, to further these acts and to avoid police detection. Defendant's systematic pattern of sexually exploitative behavior referred to in paragraph 10 and described in paragraphs I 1 through the present paragraph occurred in all of Defendant's domestic and international residences and/or places of lodging and/or modes of transportation. 17. Consistent with the foregoing plan and scheme, Defendant used his money, wealth, and power to unduly and improperly manipulate and influence the then minor Plaintiff. A vulnerable young girl, Plaintiff was working as a changing room assistant at The Mar-A-Lago Club in Palm Beach making approximately S9 an hour when she was first lured into Defendant's sexually exploitative world. In or about the summer of 1998, when Plaintiff was merely fifteen years old while attending to her duties at Mar-A-Lago, Plaintiff was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell, who lived, traveled, socialized, and worked with Defendant. Ms. Maxwell asked Plaintiff if she was interested in learning massage therapy and earning a great deal of money while learning the profession. Plaintiff's father, who was a maintenance manager at The Mar-A- Podhurst Orseck, P.A. 25 West Hagler Sine, Suite 800, Miami.

casvasuiwitwocasapoif30EipaesliK§baaaileadokopicad.3 Lago Club, was not apprehensive because he felt comforted that an older woman had approached Plaintiff with this opportunity. As a result, Plaintiffs father dropped off Plaintiff at Defendant's mansion that same day. Ms. Maxwell met Plaintiff and her father outside of Defendant's Palm Beach mansion, where Ms. Maxwell assured the minor girl's father that Ms. Maxwell would provide transportation home for his teenaged daughter. Ghislaine Maxwell led Plaintiff up a flight of stairs to a spa room with a shower and a massage table. Defendant was lying naked on the massage table. Plaintiff was shocked, but, with no experience with massages, thought this could be massage therapy protocol. Ms. Maxwell then took off her own shirt and left on her underwear and started rubbing her breasts across Defendant's body, impliedly showing Plaintiff what she was expected to do. Ms. Maxwell then told Plaintiff to take off her clothes. The minor girl was apprehensive about doing this, but, in fear, proceeded to follow Ms. Maxwell by removing everything but her underwear. She was then ordered to remove her underwear and to straddle Defendant. The encounter escalated, with Defendant and Ms. Maxwell sexually assaulting, battering, exploiting, and abusing Plaintiff in various ways and in various locations, including the steam room and shower. At the end of this sexually exploitive abuse, Defendant and Ms. Maxwell giddily told Plaintiff to return the following day and told her she had "lots of potential." Defendant paid Plaintiff hundreds of dollars, told her it was for two hours of work, and directed one of his employees to drive her home. 18. Defendant and/or his procurers thereafter lured the then minor Plaintiff to his Palm Beach mansion every day for the next two weeks in order to engage in a similar pattern of sexual exploitation. Defendant and/or his procurers arranged at the end of each incident the transportation and scheduling for the following day's appointment. Additionally, Defendant telephoned the minor Plaintiff himself and/or had Ms. Maxwell telephone Plaintiff to make arrangements. Plaintiff was often times driven to and from Epstein's mansion by Epstein 6 Podhurst Orseck, P.A. cr....I...cr.... C..IM anri 11/111 win gem IL. ice 1291 • Cw r aft Pet Aul sin EFTA00184420

Alternatively, Defendant or Ms. Maxwell would arrange and pay for Plaintiff's transportation home by taxicab. 19. During Plaintiff's second incident of being sexually exploited and assaulted by Defendant at Defendant's Palm Beach mansion, Defendant asked Plaintiff to quit her job at The Mar-A-Lago Club and travel with him to earn much more money while learning the massage profession. Thus, Plaintiff, an impressionable and vulnerable young girl of modest means, quit her job as a changing room assistant, was lured by Defendant, and continued to be victimized by Defendant, who immersed the minor Plaintiff into Defendant's lewd and abusive lifestyle. Under Defendant's dominion and control, Defendant continuously "groomed" the minor adolescent. Defendant's daily routine required the minor Plaintiff to perform sexually on Defendant multiple times per day and to provide Defendant massages multiple times per day. Plaintiff had absolutely no say as to when, how many times, or what was done during each sexual encounter. Often, Plaintiff was joined by Ms. Maxwell, Ms. Maxwell's assistant, and/or a countless array of young women who would be brought to one of Defendant's homes for the sexual trysts and then be sexually exploited by Defendant. 20. The first time that Defendant transported Plaintiff to another state in order to engage in sexual acts with her occurred when she was merely fifteen years old and after only two weeks of daily sexually abusive encounters with Defendant. Defendant used his private jet to transport the minor Plaintiff to Manhattan, where he provided her with spending money and accommodations with him at his mansion. From the time that Plaintiff was 15 years old, Defendant abused her to serve his every sexual whim, obtaining and purchasing passports and whatever was needed for her to travel with him and/or for him. Defendant transported Plaintiff in his private jet to locations that included Palm Beach, New York City, Santa Fe, Los Angeles, San Francisco, St. Louis, and numerous other domestic destinations, as well as international 7 Podhurst Orseck, P.A. 25 West Fla glee Street.

He provided accommodations with him in order to have her available to him at all times wherever he went, including while transporting the minor Plaintiff on his private jet. Each time they would travel to one of these destinations, the same pattern of sexual abuse would occur, often with a vast army of aspiring models, actresses, celebrities, and/or other females, including minors, from all over the world. Upon information and belief, Defendant transported minor girls from Turkey, the Czech Republic, Asia, and numerous other countries, many of whom spoke no English. To Plaintiff's knowledge, the only females specifically excluded from Defendant's sexual escapades were African-Americans. 21. In addition to being continually exploited to satisfy Defendant's every sexual whim, Plaintiff was also required to be sexually exploited by Defendant's adult male peers, including royalty, politicians, academicians, businessmen, and/or other professional and personal acquaintances. Whenever Defendant transported Plaintiff with him in his private jet to any destination, Defendant would pay Plaintiff a flat rate per day while he and/or his above- mentioned associates would sexually exploit and abuse minor Plaintiff. 22. Most of these acts of abuse occurred during a time when Defendant knew that Plaintiff was approximately 15, 16, and 17 years old, and, after years of daily sexual exploitation, continued into her adulthood. Despite Defendant's stating shortly before Plaintiff's sixteenth birthday that he soon would have to trade her in because she was getting too old, Defendant continued to sexually exploit Plaintiff until she fled at age 19. Defendant's predilection for young girls was well known to those who regularly procured them for him and to his circle of friends. On one of Defendant's birthdays, a friend of Defendant sent him three I2-year-old girls from France who spoke no English for Defendant to sexually exploit and abuse. After doing so, they were sent back to France the next day. 8 Podhurst Orseck, P.A. 25 West Fbgler StreeL Suite 800, Miami, FL 33130, Miami 305-358 28® Fax 305358.2382 • Fort Lauderdale 951.10.4316 I www.podhunt.com EFTA00184422
