EZELL: I'm going to ask -- I don't know 2 whether you've still been serially designating 3 Exhibits or whether we're doing them separately for 4 deposition. 5 MR. CRITTON: I think we cannot trust that 6 people will do them serially. I'd do them with 7 each one. 8 MS. EZELL: Then would you mark this, please, 9 as Exhibit I to this deposition. 10 And I'm just going to state on the record that 11 I will keep that original. We will not attach it 12 to the deposition. 13 (Exhibit number I was marked for 14 identification purposes and retained by Counsel for the 15 Plaintiffs.) 16 TI IE WITNESS: Yes, that's -- 17 BY MS. EZELL: 18 Q. Can you identify that -- the young woman in 19 those pictures? 20 A. Yes. 21 Q. Who is it? 22 A. That's'. -- I. Now that you says R., that 23 is M. definite, a hundred percent. 24 MR.

TIIE WITNESS: Now, again. I must tell you, I was never told to check any i.d.s on any of the people who work at the house. BY MS. EZELL: Q. I understand that. And. so. I think I'm just trying to establish that you didn't consider it part of your job description to worry about or consider the Page 46 1 deposition, that I know you're going to confiscate 2 Exhibit number I. I think it's inappropriate. I 3 think I should be allowed to have a copy of 4 Exhibits that arc being used in deposition.

But she was not a 8 massage therapist. She will go for dinner. And 9 they will go for the movies and she sang sometimes 10 because she was a singer. So she sung at the 11 house. Beautiful girl. Very talented. 12 That's the only girl that I know that it 13 was -- I would says, underage. 14 BY MS. EZELL: 15 Q. Okay. Did -- who told you that was a 16 massage therapist? 17 A. Nobody. 18 Q. Did you assume that she was a massage 19 therapist because you were told she was coming to give t 20 massage? 21 A. No. I assumed she was a massage therapy 22 because I was -- I drove Ms. Maxwell to Mar-a-lago. 23 Donald Trump's residence.

I'm 2 missing which Jane Doe this is. 3 They're all different case numbers. Do 4 you want me to go through each case number? 5 MR. CRITTON: I'm going to note my 6 objection. Obviously if this deposition 7 gets played -- not obviously, I'm going to 8 object to the litany of each one so I don't 9 know how we can separate it out. Maybe if 10 and when at the time of trial and depending 11 on how the Court determines what comes in 12 and what doesn't with regard to the 13 consolidated aspects of this. I have no 14 great idea other than just saying Jane Doe 15 versus Epstein, et al, or something like 16 that, or Jane Doe, et al. 17 MS. EZELL: Couldn't we just say and 18 those cases which have been consolidated 19 with it for Discovery purposes? 20 MR. EDWARDS: Although there is cases 21 here that have cross noticed this from state 22 court that haven't been consolidated so that 23 may not work. You may have to read them 24 all, if it works out your way that will just 25 get edited out, at least he will have read 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 7 Deposition taken before PAYNE, Court Reporter and Notary Public in and for the State of Florida at Large, in the above cause. THE VIDEOGRAPHER: This is the case of Jane Doe No. 2, plaintiff, versus Jeffrey Epstein, defendant. Jane Doe No. 3, plaintiff, versus Jeffrey Epstein, defendant. Jane Doe No. 4, plaintiff, versus Jeffrey Epstein, defendant. And Jane Doe No. 5, plaintiff, versus Jeffrey Epstein, defendant. Jane Doe No. 6, plaintiff, versus Jeffrey Epstein, defendant. Jane Doe No. 7, plaintiff, versus Jeffrey Epstein, defendant. CMA, plaintiff, versus Jeffrey Epstein, defendant. And Jane Doe, plaintiff, versus Jeffrey Epstein, et al, defendant. And Jane Doe -- is there a shorter thing that we can do here? It's also missing this one right here. MR. MERMELSTEIN: Do we have a problem with saying Jane Doe 2 and the Epstein and related cases? THE VIDEOGRAPHER: I'm missing this Jane Page 9 1 that caption, every caption. Right? Is 2 there a better suggestion? 3 MR. CRITTON: No. There may be a better 4 suggestion if he starts this is such and 5 such day, it's the deposition of Mr. 6 Rodriguez in the case such and such, and we 7 can almost fill it in depending on which 8 tape it goes, how it fills in, at least 9 well have the context of the first and 10 depending on whether the Judge reads it in 11 from a consolidated or they all come 12 related, I have no great idea. 13 MR. EDWARDS: I was thinking if he read 14 every one of them and it was the seventh in 15 line then you just would edit it so you 16 would only read that one. 17 MR. CRITTON: I'm okay with that too. 18 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: On page number three 19 there is something missing on the top here. 20 Do you want me to read each case number 21 separately? 22 MR. MERMELSTEIN: I don't think it's 23 necessary. 24 MR. EDWARDS: I don't think it's 25 necessary either. 3 (Pages 6 to 9) Kress Court Reporting, Inc. 305-866-7688 7115 Rue Notre Dame, Miami Beach, FL 33141 EFTA00188921

Were these pictures that looked that 17 appeared to be at social events, at Mr. Epstein's 18 house or where? 19 A. Mrs. Maxwell took him to England to 20 introduce him to the royalty. 21 Q. Is it's your understanding that Ghislaine 22 Maxwell knew Prince Andrew and introduced -- 23 A. Yes. 24 Q. Is it also your understanding that at 25 some point in time Ghislaine dated or had a Page 199 I Q. That's something you agree with? 2 A. Yes. 3 MR. CRITTON: Form. 4 BY MR. EDWARDS: 5 Q.

Once a month, something like that. 22 Q. Okay. So If it's only once a month and 23 you were only there six months you're saying you 24 only saw six guests come over In addition to -- 25 A. They have people, you know, they have Page 201 1 romantic relationship with Prince Andrew? 2 MR. CRITTON: Form. 3 THE WITNESS: I don't know that. 4 BY MR. EDWARDS: 5 Q. Do you know around what time period it 6 was that Mr. Epstein was introduced to Prince 7 Andrew? 8 A. 2003, I believe. 9 Q. How do you know that? 10 A. I've heard dates. 11 Q. From people in the Epstein group? 12 A. Yes. 13 Q. Okay. 14 MR. CRITTON: Let me note my objection, 15 move to strike, it's based on -- his 16 testimony is based on hearsay. 17 BY MR. EDWARDS: 18 Q. During the six month period of time when 19 you worked directly for Mr. Epstein, how often did 20 Mr. Epstein get together with or hangout with 21 Prince Andrew; if you know? 22 A.
