He digitally penetrated her, as we talked about. He used a back massager on her on at least two occasions, and he had sexual intercourse with I'll" a as well as performed oral sex on I'll" a. He paid Illilia anywhere from $300 to $600. He provided her with gifts, a poetry book, IIIIII[a Secret underwear. It was Kellen who had set up the room with the massage table and set out the oils. And then, of course, we did discuss the private car that was sent to her when she wasn't available to drive herself. He did pay a -- I didn't mention this earlier -- he paid a truck payment for her when she was short on money. So that was another thing that Mr. Epstein provided to Felicia, and she was 17 during all of this activity. Q All right.

Is the information that you just summarized the same information that supports that count? A Yes. The only thing I wanted to tell you regarding her age, she told Mr. Epstein that she was 18 on the lirst visit. A couple of visits later they discussed her birthday. They were talking about her birthday and her plans for her birthday and Mr. Epstein asked her -- said something to the effect like: You are going to be 18? And she said yes. And he said: So you are not 18? She laughed and said no and they kind of laughed and they continued on with the massage. So Mr. Epstein was aware through that conversation that had not yet turned 18. Q All right. MS. VILLAFANA: Are there any questions regarding Illilla before we continue? All right. Let's turn now to Jane Doe Number Six. THE WITNESS: Did we do the count, the traveling count? MS.

A Jane Doe Number Six is IIIIIIIIII H. She also attended Royal Palm Beach High School and her date of birth is December 30, 1986. Q How did Jane Doe Number Six come to be introduced to Mr. Epstein? A Shasdy I also contacted -- or told about providing massages to Mr. Epstein. She told Alex -- which I'm going to refer to her as Alex. That's what she goes by, but her name is Alexandra. That he wanted cute girls to give him massages and that he would pay $200. We had have contact starting with in July of 2000 between and that IMI phone contact continues until September 2005. Between this time period, we have over 200 -- approximately 225 calls between Kellen and During Alex's first massage, Shasdy brought ■ over there and was paid $200 by Mr. Epstein.

She said no at first and later in the massage, the way puts it, is that he talked her into it and she removed her shirt, which she was not wearing a bra at the time. Mr. Epstein fondled her breasts. He asked her to remove her panties and she said no. He masturbated and as soon as he ejaculated, the massage was over. She was paid $200 for that. She, at that point, she did start working for Epstein on a regular basis. She indicated that she had been there hundreds of times over this time period. She told us -- and I'm going to read a quote to you that she said to me or said to not to me but to law enforcement -- she said -- and this is referring to after the first time that she went there. She said I first told him that i had a problem with it, what happened the first time, but $200 for 45 minutes that was a lot for a 16-year-old girl making six bucks an hour. Now that was a statement she made to law enforcement. Going through her phone records and OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC (954) 467-8204 EFTA00226662

It's now over a year since she started working -- a year and a half since she started working for Mr. Epstein and going back and trying to retrace her age, she did say that, but we believe at that time she was 17 due to the phone contact. So we are not sure when that first massage started, but the phone contact with Kellen began in July of '04 when she would have been 17. Q And just to be clear, during that interview with law enforcement, did Alex have access to her phone records? A No. Q And the interviewing officer also didn't have access to those records, correct? A No. Q So she was just saying she couldn't remember if she was 16 or 17 at the time? A Right. As I said, she became kind of a regular. He increased her pay to $300 to $400 as long as he could touch her. She stated that the massages OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC (954) 467-8204 EFTA00226663

He would rub Alex's vagina. He also digitally penetrated He performed oral sex on He would masturbate while rubbing himself on s breasts.

So she did. Alex and engaged in sexual activity less than live times. Mr. Epstein would also partake in that sexual activity as well. On one occasion with all three of them, as we had mentioned earlier in a grand jury session, the massage was over and ■ was standing up near the massage table and Mr. Epstein bent her face down and held her head and penetrated Alex's vagina. I think she described it as that he went OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC (954) 467-8204 EFTA00226664

And when he first digitally penetrated her on the first time, she, you know, asked him why he was doing that. He said: Oh, I thought we had done this before. And later he continues to digitally penetrate her. On this occasion, she said: What are you doing? And he said that he just wanted to see this. Q So at the time that that occurred, she still had a rule with him, but the rule was that he would not penetrate her vagina with his penis? A Right. And Mr. Epstein gave -- we'll talk about several gifts. One of the gifts that Mr. Epstein gave was a 2005 Dodge Neon. It only had seven miles on it. believes that that car was bought for her. We have reason to believe it was most likely rented and we are determining that right now, but he gave her this.

He wanted more than I was willing to give. She stated that Epstein requested her to have sex with him multiple times and also wanted him to -- wanted her to perform oral sex on him and she refused to do that, and Mr. Epstein knew that that was not going to happen. And, again, that's one of the reasons why she ended up giving back the car because it just was getting a little bit, as she referred to, sticky for her. After that occasion, where he did penetrate her vagina, he paid her $1 ,000 after that. Some of the gifts that she received other than the car, she describes that as ' a a Secret underwear and a bra and pantie set she received. She received Christmas bonuses, movie tickets, VIP show tickets. She went to the David Copperfield show. She met with him. She went to the after party. She received a Louis Vuitton bag. was in a play at her high school OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC (954) 467-8204 EFTA00226666

He also lor her 18th birthday, he Ilew her to New York for her 18th birthday, and she was flown up there on her birthday and that was done because Mr. Epstein didn't want to have to deal with the parental consent needed to fly somebody under the age of 18 to New York. So on her 18th birthday with his funding, she flew to New York. She received show tickets to the Phantom of the Opera. Epstein was not present in New York at this time. He was called away and was not there. So she does have friends in New York and she stayed with those friends and attended the show that Mr. Epstein had purchased those tickets for. The other thing about is she said that she would get paid every time she would go over there and she said she feels like she went over there hundreds of times. She said that sometimes he would just have her naked watching TV or reading a book. He would sometimes just ask her to lay with him OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC (954) 467-8204 EFTA00226667

He would invite her to dinner and sometimes just to use the pool, but that she was always paid for coming over there. Q Let me ask about a couple of other things. You mentioned the specific conversation about she could only fly up on her 18th birthday so that he wouldn't have to get parental consent for her flight? A Yes. Q And you mentioned the delivery of the roses to the high school. In addition to those, were other events that occurred that should have led Mr. Epstein or probably did lead Mr. Epstein to know that she was under the age of 18? A Yes. One of the things that told me is that she believed she stayed with him so long because she believed that he was going to help her get into New York University, NYU. She provided him on multiple occasions paperwork. One being her transcript. Trying to, you know, do what she could to keep her grades up, do what she could in the hopes that Mr. Epstein with his influence residing in New York was going OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC (954) 467-8204 EFTA00226668

That again is one of the reasons why she stayed because she felt that if she held on for so long hoping that this dream would come true. She is currently attending Florida State University and doing very well. Q Do we have any other documentation of receiving payments from someone who worked for Mr. Epstein? A We have Janusz Banasiak. It was a house manager I or Mr. Epstein and we were able to get his petty cash receipts and in there is a payment that he paid out of his funds to Alex. Q Now was ever shown any photo lineup?

Q And is one of the bases for their attempt to discredit her the fact that she didn't appear before the State Grand Jury? A Yes. Q Are you aware of whether or not was ever subpoenaed to appear before the State Grand Jury? A There was a subpoena issued to her. not sure iI she received that. Either she received it the day before or she didn't receive it at all and I would need to check my notes and she is up in Tallahassee, mind you. So she was either served the day before that grand jury convened or she never received it and I would need to check with probably the detective for sure on that. Q Okay.

A Review of those phone records on those dates indicate that there was telephonic contact between and as well as statements that she was called by prior to and while Mr. Epstein was in town.
