were unaware that the offer was made. 
10 
Q. And how did you become aware that the offer 
11 
was made? 
12 
A. I had made numerous telephone calls to the 
13 
State Attorney's office to inquire where we were, and 
14 
did not receive any return phone calls. I went over to

the State Attorney's office personally on an tmrelated

PROCEEDINGS 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
Q. Good afternoon, sir. 
A. Good afternoon. 
Q. To finish up the subject that we were talking 
about right before the recess, do you ever recall 
dicr-ncsions with the State Attorney's office about an 
offer that was extended to Mr. Epstein to plead guilty 
and receive a five-year period of probation for an 
aggravated assault charge? 
A. Yes. 
Q. And that was a subject of discussion between 
you and members of the State Attornes fice? 
A. With Assistant State Attorney
I don't know if that's her last name, how 
it's pronounced, but close enough. 
Q. If we call her =, 
I think we both know who 
we're discussing. 
A. Yeah. 
Q. And those discussions occurred within or 
around the winter of 2005,'6? 
A. I believe so. 
Q. And was that a sentence and a charge option 
that was extended to Mr. Epstein through his then 
Page 507 
1 
A. She did a lot of crimes against children. 
2 
Q. And she, on other occasions, advocated 
3 
prosecution of people on felony charges, correct? 
4 
A. I hadn't had many dealings with her so I don't 
5 
know. You know, l knew Mier. She was actually at the 
6 
office, State Attorney's office, when I was employed 
7 
there many years ago. 
8 
Q. And that was how many years ago? 
9 
A. I've been with Palm Beach almost 19 years. 
10 
Q. So we're talking about at least 20 years ago? 
11 
A. Yeah. 
12 
Q. And she had been there, to your knowledge, 
13 
continuously from the time that you knew she was there 
14 
20 years ago? 
15 
A. Yeah. 
16

1 
Q. And did you take a position on that offet? 
2 
A. Personally, I told her I didn't agree with it, 
3 
but I couldn't speak for the department. It actually 
4 
had to come from people with a higher pay grade than 
5 
mine, so I just relayed the information back to 
6 
Chief Reiter. 
7 
Q. And what, if anything, did Chief Reiter do? 
8 
MS. ARBOUR: Form. 
9 
THE WITNESS: I believe he tried to make 
10 
contact with State Attorney Barry Krischer. 
11 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
12 
Q. Did he make contact with State Attorney 
13 
KriSehe', to your knowledge? 
14 
A. I'm not 100 percent certain if he did or 
15 
didn't. I bow there was some time where none of our 
16 
calls were being returned from the State Attorney's 
17 
office. 
18 
Q. Jane Doe 103 was one of the witnesses who was 
19 
at the center of the State investigation, correct? 
20 
A. One of them, yes. 
21 
Q. And you knew that Jane Doe 103 had a MySpace 
22 
page that was one of the MySpace profiles that was 
23 
provided to the State Attorney by Mr. Epstein's then 
24 
counsel, Professor Dersbowitz, correct? 
25 
A. Yes, I knew that there were pages sent of the 
Page 510 
1 
correct? 
2 
MS. ARBOUR: Form. 
3 
THE WITNESS: f know that when there's 
4 
misdemeanor arrests in the Town of Palm Beach, a 
5 
lot of officers pretty much try to gain any 
6 
intelligence they can from any of the people that 
7 
they encounter. Some of the information actually 
8 
leads to other cases, clearance of minor rocas 
9 
thefts, bike thefts. 
10 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
11 
Q. And in this case, it led to you going to sec 
12 
Jane Doe 103, first calling her on October 10th and then 
13 
visiting ha in Jacksonville on October 11th, correct? 
14 
A. Yes. 
I5 
Q. And you also, in your investigation, learned 
16 
that Jane Doe 103 had lost her job at Victoria Secret 
17 
for stealing, did you not? 
18 
A. No. 
19 
Q. You never received any information regarding 
20 
Jane Doe 103's employment history with Victoria Secret? 
21 
A. She was actually employed there when I went up 
22 
to seeker. Thrift where I met with her. 
23 
Q. Did you ever team at any time that she had a 
24 
problem that led to her losing her employment? 
25 
A. No. 
Page 509 
1 
MySpaces, but I wasn't sure of whom at that particular 
2 
time. They provided us copies thereafter, but right 
3 
there, immediately, I wasn't aware of whom had pages. 
4 
Q. You eventually received than and reviewed 
5 
than, correct? 
6 
A. tJb-huh. 
7 
Q. And you understood that from even before then, 
8 
that Jane Doe 103 had a background that involved at 
9 
least one arrest, correct? 
10 
A. Yes. 
11 
Q. And you understood that when she was arrested 
12 
in early October, she in fact informed the arresting 
13 
officers that she had information regarding Mr. Epstein, 
14 
correct? 
15 
A. I believe so. 
16 
Q. And if you go to your probable cause affidavit 
17 
ai page 11, at the bottom of 10, it starts, 'On 
18 
September 11, 2005, Jane Doe 103 was arrested by the 
19 
Palm Beach Police Department for misdemeanor possession 
20 
of marijuana. During the arrest, Jane Doe 103 told the 
21 
arresting officer that she had information about sexual 
22 
activity taking place at the residence of Mr. Epstein." 
23 
A. Yes. 
24 
Q. Jane Doe 103 essentially was asking the 
25 
arresting officer to assist in her cooperating; is that 
Page 511 
1 
Q. So you knew she had been arrested for 
2 
marijuana? 
3 
A. Uhelmh. 
4 
Q. You knew she had a MySpace page where there 
5 
was information that was -- that showed her to use 
6 
thugs, correct? 
7 
A. Uh-huh. 
8 
MR. PIKE: Yes or no? 
9 
THE WITNESS: Yes. 
10 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
11 
Q. You knew that the role of the State Attorney, 
12 
the prosecutor that would have to present this case to 
13 
the jury, was to weigh evidence, correct? Not only the 
14 
evidence you provided but also any evidence that was 
15 
provided by those representing the target of criminal 
16 
investigation? 
17 
A. Yes. 
18 
Q. And
 knew that as a result of that weighing 
19 
process, =, 
an experienced State Attorney, told you 
20 
that she believed at least that Jane Doe 103 was a 
21 
consenting participant and not a victim of criminal 
22 
offenses by Mr. Epstein, correct? 
23 
MR. GARCIA: Object to the form. 
24 
THE WITNESS: I don't — consenting victim, 
25 
you mean?

A. Originally, that was her statement, yes.

Q. Is that right? 
5 
Q. Right. And if there were no victims here, 
5 
MS. ARBOUR: Same objection. 
6 
then she's really saying to you that, after reviewing 
6 
THE WITNESS: Yes. 
7 
all of the evidence that she received, not only from you 
7 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
8 
but from the defense, she didn't consider Jane Doe 103 
8 
Q. So whoever was at die Epstein home receiving 
9 
to be a victim?

the call would essentially write this denim on a message

17 
THE WITNESS: 1 believe that's what she

MS. ARBOUR: Form. 
12 
111E WITNESS: Yes, that was some like that,

yes. 
13 
Q. — either directly or through their friends, 
14 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
14 
correct? 
15 
Q. And that is clutmeteristic of lots of the

messages that were being received by whoever was taking 
16 
MR. GARCIA: Object to form. 
17

Q. And the way it worked, if I'm right, is that 
21 
Q. Like, for instance here, she wants to confirm 
22 
somebody would answer the phone and, for instance, the 
22 
a 11:00 tomorrow, message for JAE from a woman's name.

message would say on July 19, '04, Mr. Epstein: Phone

THE WITNESS: That would be some, yes. 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
Q. And many of them appeared to be incoming calls 
from different girls which said, Em in town, can I come 
over, can I schedule a meeting? 
MS. ARBOUR: Form. 
THE WITNESS: Some were like that. 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
Q. And some appeared to be responses to a phone 
call made by someone at the El Bulb home asking, are 
you available, and there would be a phone call back 
saying, Pm available tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday 
morning or Thursday afternoon. 
A. Correct. 
Q. And by and large, these messages did not 
include any negotiation over dollars? In other words, 
there was not on a message pad that any of these 
incoming girls were saying, I will come over ifIeffrey 
gives me $500 or $300; there was no evidence of that 
kind of incoming phone call, correct? 
MS. ARBOUR: Form. 
THE WITNESS: Not that I can recall, no. 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
Q. And likewise, there was no indication on these 
message pads that any of the people calling 
1 
of 18; is that right? 
2 
A. What groupings? 
3 
Q. Well, let's say, did you ever interview a 
4 
woman named II.? 
5 
A. Yes. 
6 
O. And youlcnew that her date of birth was in 
7 
and that she was over 18 when you 
8 
interviewed her —
9 
A. Yes. 
10 
Q. — and represented herself to be over 18 when 
11 
she saw Mr. Epstein? 
12 
MS. ARBOUR: Font 
13 
THE WITNESS: Yes. 
14 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
15 
Q. And, likewise, 
was another person who 
16 
said yes, she had been to Mr. Epstein's house at a time 
17 
when she was over 18? 
18 
A. Correct 
19 
Q. And then M. was in her 20s when you 
20 
interviewed her? 
21. 
A. Yes. 
22 
Q. And there was an., who after the publicity 
23 
came out, called in and said she was 25 at the time she 
24

Mr. Epstein's home were, in essence, particularizing 
2 
what they were going to do or what they intended to do 
3 
or what they might do once they got there, correct? 
4 
MS. ARBOUR: Form. 
5 
THE WITNESS: Can you repeat that question? 
6 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
7 
Q. Sure. Theres nothing on these message pads 
8 
that indicates, I'll come over and give a topless 
9 
massage to Mr. Epstein? 
10 
A. No. 
11 
Q. These are essentially contact and scheduling 
12 
calls? 
13 
MS. ARBOUR: Form. 
14 
THE WITNESS: Yes. 
15 
BY MR, WEINBERG: 
16 
Q. And often reflect the fact that the callers 
17 
are not connecting on the first call, so they're going 
18 
back and forth and trying to arrange times for a 
19 
particular woman to come over to Mr. Epstein's home, 
20 
correct? 
21 
MS. ARBOUR: Form. 
22 
THE WITNESS: Yeah. 
23 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
24 
Q. And some of these calls come from a whole 
25 
grouping of persons that you learned were over the age

Q. And a 
6 
A. She was a licensed masseuse.

Q. Licensed masseuse who was over 18. 
8 
A. Yes. 
9 
Q. And some of the people interviewed had tumcd 
10 
18 during the period that they were seeing Mr. Epstein 
11 
and so told you, correct? In other words, that they had 
12 
started seeing Mr. Epstein when they were 17, and then 
13 
they became 18 and continued to see him when they were 
14 
18 and, in fact, you interviewed them when they were 18? 
15 
MS. ARBOUR: Form. 
16 
THE WITNESS: Some, yes. 
17 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
18 
Q. And they, too, are included in Mese book of 
19 
message pads? In other words, this was not limited, the 
20 
incoming calls were not limited to girls that were 17 or 
21 
16, and included girls that were 18, 19,20, 25 and even 
22 
older, correct?

MS. ARBOUR: Form.

THE WITNESS: Correct.

Q. Now, when you drafted the search warrant 
7 
affidavit and you agreed with me that you understood 
3 
when you drafted it, as an experienced detective of 
4 
almost two decades, that the judge would be relying on 
3 
the content of what you preiented to him, correct? 
6 
A. Yes. 
7 
MS. ARBOUR: Form, asked and answered. 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
Q. That the judge did not have some external 
bases to test the representations, either for 
completeness or for accuracy? 
MS. ARBOUR: Form. 
THE WITNESS: Correct. 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
Q. And you made representations in the search 
warrant affidavit that were repeated in the probable 
cause affidavit, did you not, that were attributed to 
A. Yes. 
Q. And directing myself to the probable cause 
affidavit, because that's the one that is unsealed and 
an exhibit in this case, you essentially said to, on the 
probable cause affidavit, that M. said that Jeffrey 
Epstein wanted young girls —
A. Yes. 
Page 522 
1 
now almost five years ago, that she had said to you that 
2 
Jeffrey Epstein preferred girls between 18 and 20. 
3 
A. I would have documented that in the incident 
4 
report, but... 
5 
Q. Would it be an important modification of the 
6 
statement attributed to her that Jeffrey Epstein wants 
7 
young girls, correct? 
8 
MS. ARBOUR: Form. 
9 
THE WITNESS: Had she said it, but again, I 
10 
don't — 
I 1 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
12 
Q. I understand. Had she said it, it certainly 
13 
would have been considered important enough to include 
14 
in the various affidavits that you drafted that relied 
15 
in part on what 
told you. 
16 
MS. ARBOUR: Form, the tape speaks for itself. 
17 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
18 
Q. Correct? 
19 
A. Correct. 
20 
Q. The message pads include messages like, was 
21 
wondering if she would get work tonight, she couldn't 
22 
work yesterday because of some family event. That's the 
23 
messages, those contents, you would have view of the 
24 
message pads, correct? 
25 
MS. ARBOUR: Form. It speaks for themselves. 
Page 521 
1 
Q. 
correct? 
2 
Do you recall that during your tape recorded 
3 
interview with M., she told you that Jeffrey Epstein 
4 
preferred to receive massages from girls between 18 and 
20 years old? 
A. I recall her slating, "The younger, the 
7 
better," but I don't recall that he prefers girls 
8 
between 18 and 20. 
9 
Q. Will augrce with me that if the tape 
10 
recording of
 interview with you reports that as a 
11 
statement made by her, that the tape recording would be 
12 
the most accurate source of what she told you back in 
13 
early October 2005? 
14 
MS. ARBOUR: Form. 
15 
MR. GARCIA: Do you have the tape recording to 
16 
play, because my understanding is that's under FRI 
17. 
control. 
18 
MR. WEINBERG: 
asking questions about 
19 
whether or not it included —
20 
MR. GARCIA: Without playing the tape 
21 
recording, I think it's an unfair question. 
22 
MR. WEINBERG: You can object. I'll ask it. 
23 
THE WITNESS: If the recording indicated?

25

Page 523

THE WITNESS: Oh-huh. 
2 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
3 
Q. Did you ever interview n woman named M.? 
4 
A. I attempted it, and I don't think she ever 
5 
returned my calls. 
6 
Q. Did you cvcr go to her house? 
A. Let me think. I may have. I mean, I can't 
8 
recall if I went to her house or not, but I know I 
9 
telephoned her and I never got any call back from her. 
10 
Q. Did you, dining this investigation, ever, 
11 
yourself, go to MySpace pages to conduct any background 
12 
investigation on the various women that you were 
13 
proffering to the State Attorney as reliable witnesses? 
14 
MR. GARCIA: Objection, asked and answered. 
15 
MS. ARBOUR: Joined. 
16 
THE WITNESS: Again, I looked at them when 
17 
they were turned over, but no, l didn't. 
18 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
19 
Q. I'd ask you to look at page 65 of the incident 
20 
report, paragraph 4, and see if that refreshes your 
21 
recollection. 
22 
A. Yes, I did. 
23 
Q. And do you recall just how you accessed 
24 
MySpace? Did you run through a list of all your 
25 
witnesses and saw whether or not certain of them had

Q. And did you download the infonnaticm from 
8 
these MySpace pages into sonic evidentiary format? 
9 
A. I believe either I printed them or I might 
10 
have viewed them and
 made reference of it, that 
11 
they had a MySpace page.

MySpace pages? 
MYSPoce Pages. 
A. The ones that were viewable, 1 looked at. Thu 
ones that weren't, eventually they all became private. 
Q. And the ones that were viewable, did you 
identify certain of your witnesses as including in their 
MySpace page evidence that they were involved in the use 
of drugs? 
A. I recall pictures of like a marijuana leaf, 
comments made of being high when the photo was taken and 
some alcohol use. I remember that as well. 
Q. And did you include those obsavations in your 
incident report that ultimately would have gone to the 
State Attorney to assist the State Attorney in assessing 
1 
Beach, Mr. Epstein? 
2 
A. Yes. 
3 
Q. And the question is: You went on MySpace, you 
4 
looked at certain pages that reflected at least some of 
5 
your witnesses who were not only using drugs but 
6 
bragging about using drugs publically and publishing 
7 
pictures or references to themselves as drug users, 
8 
correct? 
9 
A. On the MySpace page, right. 
10 
Q. Right. Did you do anything else, as an 
11 
experienced investigator, to try to determine by 
12 
through the investigation into the background of any of 
13 
the witnesses? 
1 4 
A. I believe I checked than under the local 
15 
systems to see if they had been arrested. I did like a 
16 
criminal background check on them and the sworn taped 
17 
statement that we took as well. 
18 
Q. October 20th you went to Mr. Epstein's home 
19 
with a group of others; is that correct?

Page 525

the credibility of the people that you were proffering 
2 
to them as witnesses? 
3 
A. Did I include those in with the State 
I 
Attorney? I believe they had them by then. That was 
the winter of '05, '06. 
6 
Q. But this was an independent review of MySpace 
7 
that was not related to what Professor Dershowitz gave 
the State Attorney; this was something you were 
reporting that you did on your own, correct? 
10 
A. I tray have done it on my own to view it myself 
11 
after learning from the State Attorney's office. I'm 
12 
not —I can't recall if I did it totally on my own or 
13 
when I first heard of the MySpace pages, J researched it 
14 
myself to view it myself. 
15 
Q. Did you do anything other Than look at MySpace 
16 
pages to try to assess the credibility of any of your 
17 
witnesses based on what you could learn about them from 
18 
other people? In other words, you were essentially 
19 
proffering to the State Attorney certain statements that 
20 
had been made to you regarding what occurred on El 
21 
Milo Way, correct? 
22 
A. Uh-huh. 
23 
Q. And you were relying on those statements and 
24 
their detail as a basis for asking the State Attorney to 
25 
bring a criminal prosecution against a residence of Palm 
Page 527 
1 
Q. — correct? And in the search warrant, you 
2 
requested the authority to seize all computers, all 
3 
equipment, any discs, any DVDs, any media, correct? 
4 
A. Uh-huh. 
5 
MS. ARBOUR: Form, asked and answered. 
6 
THE WITNESS: Correct. 
7 
BY MR. WEINBERG: 
8 
Q. And you seized whatever you found there, 
9 
correct? 
10 
A. Yes. 
11 
Q. And you, yourself, looked through what you 
could look through and asked your forensic people to 
:3 
look through what you couldn't look through; is that 
14 
correct? 
15 
A. That is correct. 
16 
Q. And as a result of the search and seizure, 
17 
there was no picture of Jane Doe 103 that was seized, 
18 
correct? 
19 
A. That's correct. 
20 
Q. And there was no camera that was found in the 
21

7 
months left on another cell phone to the end of

A. No. This is the only phone I use. 
10

12 
How about reimbursing expenses? When you have

second?

13 
Do you have a separate e-mail account, a personal e-mail 
14 
account as contrasted to a public e-mail account?

they bad any incidences involving Mr. Epstein up in New 
11 
York. 
12 
Q. What did you leant? 
13

believe that was it. 
16

17 
grand jury subpoena to Jane Doe 103, that was a subpoena 
18 
that required her attendance, was it not?

what 
said, and that was said to you on this 
occasion where she received a grand jury subpoena, 
right? 
A. Yes. 
Q. Did you ever interview 
A. I know that Jane Doe 103 didn't want to pursue 
the natter any further. I know I forwarded that

cell phone records, which indicated phone calls 
to Jane Doe 103 when she indicated she did get the

3 
the phone number that was on there to make arrangemans. 
4 
Q. How long were you with her in Tallahassee on 
5 
this occasion? 
6 
A. I'd say about 40 minutes, 50 minutes. 
7 
Q. And did you decide that you were to be the 
8 
person to save the subpoena as contrasted to any of the 
9 
different people working under or with you? 
10 
A. Yes, I am the one who served the other search 
11 
warrant — subpoenas. 
12 
Q. So you served ull of the subpoenas? 
13 
A. Uh-huh. 
14 
Q. And was that the only reason to go to 
15 
Tallahassee that day? 
16 
A. I spoke to her also regarding some phone calls 
17 
that she had received which she felt was threatening in 
18 
nature. 
19 
Q. And what were the results of those 
20 
conversations? 
21 
A. She had received a phone call from =, 
22 
indicating to her that those that are with Mr. Epstein 
23 
will be compensated and those that go against him 
24 
basically would be dealt with. 
25 
Q. We're talking about March or April of 2006, 
Page 539 
1 
threatening calls. 
2 
Q. But did you ever — did_. ever get asked 
3 
whether or not that was a statement that she had made to 
4 
Jane Doe 103? 
5 
A. No, I didn't, again, bes tise Jane Doe 103 did 
6 
not want to pursue the matter. 
7 
Q. So at no time WES 
- did 
testify 
8 
or provide you with anarroboration from Jane Doe 
9 
I03's allegations that 
had conveyed some sort of 
10 
threat to her, correct?

12 
Q. Nor did anyone else in the Palm Beach Police 
13 
Department, to your knowledge?

15 
interview her at her boyfriend's job. 
16 
Q. Nor did any State Attorney, to the best of 
17 
your knowledge? 
18 
A. No, not that I'm aware of. 
19

20 
103?

22 
jury subpoenas. Yes, this would have been the last time 
23 
I met with her.

There was a trip that I went up to Jacksonville to 
18 
interview her. The second time I went up to see her, ii 
19 
was in Tallahassee. That one time that I went up there 
20 
to save her, we discussed the 
issue, but I 
21 
didn't go back the third time. 
22

State Attorney that she had gotten a pass on appearing 
in front of the grand jury because of her school 
schedule? 
A. Oh, I have no idea.

waiting for her and she didn't come? 
A. I don't know if she was waiting for her, 
Q. Didn't they expect her to appear and testify 
in response to the subpoena and she failed to appear 
that day? 
A. Again, I don't know the conversations that she 
had with the State Attorney's office. I do know that

12 
and make recommendations through the State Attorney's

7 
Q. So you've never received an FBI request to, in

any way, investigate Mr. Epstein?

Q. Surveille Mr. Epstein?

16 
Have they ever initiated a call to you at any time after 
17 
Mr. Epstein went to jail asking you to do anything in 
16 
connection to their ongoing investigation of 
19 
Mr. Epstein? 
20 
A. Absolutely not. 
21 
Q. And what about Probation? Has Probation ever 
22 
asked you to initiate any surveillance or investigation 
23 
of Mr. Epstein? 
24 
A. No. Aside from that ono day that I saw him 
25 
walking on the — along South Ocean Boulevard, that was 
1 
Probation Department? 
2 
A. As far as I'm concerned, yeah. As far as I 
3 
know. 
4 
Q. On that occasion, he was how far from his home 
5 
when you saw him? 
6 
A. From El Brillo to Clark and the ocean, fd say 
7 
about a mile, mile and a half. 
8 
Q. And Clark is north of El Brillo? 
9 
A. Yes, north of Royal Palm Way. 
Io 
Q. And in other words, coming this way from 
11 
Mr. Epstein's house, from south to north? 
12 
A. Yes. 
13 
Q. Right? 
1 4 
A. Yes. 
15 
Q. And Mr. Epstein's office is north of his 
16 
house, correct? 
17 
A. Northwest. 
18 
Q. Northwest, so north and then west. You'd have 
19 
to go over a bridge, right? 
20 
A. Right. 
21 
Q. And the bridge that's closest to his office is 
22 
north of his house? 
23 
A. Actually, this one right here, Okeechobee. 
2 4 
Okeechobee Boulevard right here. 
25 
Q. So he would go over Okeechobee Boulevard and 
Page 557 
1 
it. That was the only — and I didn't even contact 
2 
Probation. I believe Captain Frick (phonetic) is the 
3 
one who contacted Probation and something Sloan 
4 
(phonetic). 
Q. Are you aware of any — putting yourself aside 
and putting this ono incident aside, arc you aware of 
the Palm Beach Police Department having any ongoing role 
in the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein? 
A. As far as today? 
Q. Yes, as of today. 
A. No. 
Q. How about at any time over the past year, 
starting with the time he was out on work release and 
thereafter on commtmity control —
A. There did no — 
Q. — house arrest? 
A. — investigation, not that I'm aware of. 
Q. Is the one occasion the only time that you or 
anyone working with you spoke to Probation about 
Mr. Epstein's ongoing activities? 
A. That was the only time I think —
Q. That you were involved? 
A. Yes. 
Q. And is it the only time that you are aware 
that anyone else has had communications to and from the 
Page 559 
1 
end up at his office, and Clark is between El Brillo and 
2 
Okeechobee Boulevard, correct? 
3 
A. Actually, Clark is north of Okeechoboo 
4 
Boulevard. 
5 
Q. So is there a second bridge just to the north 
6 
of Okeechobee? 
7 
A. Yes, there is a north bridge. 
8 
Q. What's the name of that bridge? 
9 
A. The North Bridge. 
10 
Q. And that's a bridge that comes west from Rahn 
11 
Beach? 
12 
A. Yes. 
13 
Q. And ends up in this community of offices that 
14 
includes Mr. Epstein's office? 
15 
A. If his office was in Mr. Goldberger's Office, 
16 
the quickest route would have been on Okeechobee. 
17 
Q. But one of the route — you have to get off 
18 
the beach, right? 
19 
A. Correct. 
20 
Q. And there's two bridges that are connecting 
21 
the beach to the Palm Beach financial district, one 
22 
being Okeechobee and one being the bridge to the north 
23 
of it? 
24 
MS. ARBOUR: Form, asked and answered.

that was seized on October 20th from Mr. Epstein's home? 
8 
A. Right. It would probably be the page right 
9 
before this one. 
10 
Q. And you checked it out on the 3rd and returned 
11 
it on the 4th because you wanted to view it with the 
12 
FBI; is that correct? 
13 
A. Correct_ 
14 
Q. And that's October 3, 2006, correct? 
15 
A. Correct. 
16 
Q. And if we then go back to what has been 
17 
separately admitted into evidence here — I don't recall 
18 
the exhibit number, but 
showing you what appears to
19 
be a property receipt dated October 20th that has 
20 
numbers 1 through 58, and ask you whether or not those 
21 
four handwritten pages, numbered 1 through 58, arc the 
22 
log of evidence that was taken from Mr. Epstein's home 
23 
on October 20th, pursuant to your execution of the State 
24 
search warrant. 
25 
A. Correct.

the State Attorney? 
2 
A. Correct. 
3 
Q. And that was in connection with his efforts to 
4 
persuade the State Attorney that the State Attorney 
should reject the initiatives of the Palm Beach Police 
6 
Department for nue serious charges? 
7 
A. 1 believe so. 
3 
Q. And do you recall reviewing the message pads 
9 
at any time with the FBI agents? 
10 
A. I may have had some copies. Like I said, l 
11 
had a small case file; that I didn't bring the entire 
12 
case. I may have had some. 
13 
Q. And there would have been some report on the 
14 
chain of custody log regarding your having checked out 
15 
various exhibits to review and then retwn; is that 
16 
possible? 
17 
A. What I had was copies. 
18 
Q. So I'm showing you a supplement for a chain of 
19 
custody, a Palm Beach property receipt. And if you 
20 
would just refresh your recollection from the lower two 
21 
lines and see if that provides us with some reflection 
22 
regarding the review of evidence. 
23 
A. Correct. 
24 
Q. And what does that tell you now that your 
25 
memory is refreshed? 
Page 571 
1 
Q. And the numbers that appear on that inventory 
2 
log as having been checked out by you on the 3rd of 
3 
August correspond to the numbers that are on the 
4 
inventory from the search of October 20th, correct? 
5 
A. Correct 
6 
Q. And so it's clear from reading those two 
7 
documents together, that on October 3rd — strike 
8 
that — on August 3, 2006, you were reviewing with the 
9 
FBI the results of your search and seizure dating back 
10 
to October 20, 2005, correct? 
11 
A. Correct. 
12 
Q. And you were showing them things like message 
13 
pads, correct? 
14 
A. Correct. 
15 
Q. And you were informing them that the message 
16 
pads, in some respects, corroborated what you informed 
17 
them were the results of your witness interviews? 
18 
A. Correct 
19 
Q. And you, in essence, were using the evidence 
20 
that came from Mr. Epstein's home to demonstrate that 
21 
there was support for these narratives that were given 
22 
to you by your various witness interviews that you began 
23 
to conduct in October of 2005, correct? 
24 
A. COrrect. 
25 
Q. And I through 5 are largely the phone message

cacti off the kitchen, the file folder of messages, 
3 
shredded paper from the office, an orange folder marked 
4 
"Messages: correct? 
5 
A. Correct. 
6 
Q. And then in addition, there were pictures --
7 
A. I think the orange folder was massages. 
8 
Q. Marked 'Message," it says here, M-E-S-S-Afir-E. 
9 
A. Okay. 
10 
Q. M-E-S-S-A-G-E, right? 
11 
Is this your handwriting? 
12 
A. No. 
13 
• Q. Okay. And then there were photos that are 
14 
numbered 8 through 12. If I can — since 1 don't have a 
15 
second copy of this., do you mind if I just read with 
16 
You — 
17 
A. Absolutely. 
18 
Q. -- so we can shortcut this already lengthy 
19 
afternoon? 
20 
8 through 12 are the photos of difference 
21 
pictures taken from Mr. Epstein's home. 
22 
A. Correct 
23 
Q. And then 15 through 17 were more photos and 
24 
more message books taken from the rust floor, correct? 
25 
A. Uh-huh. 
Page 574

they were returned. 
2 
Q. Do you recall whether they were returned with 
3 
the rest of the houseman's possessions? 
4 
A. I don't believe so. 
5 
Q. What was returned to the houseman were copies 
6 
kept by the Palm Beach Police Department? In other 
7 
words, were they copied and the originals were returned 
8 
to the houseman? 
9 
A. No. Items that belonged to the houseman were 
10 
returned right to the houseman. 
11 
Q. And no copies were kept by the Palm Beach 
12 
Police Department? 
13 
A. No. 
14 
Q. And therefore, none were turned over to the 
15 
FBI when they executed their later subpoena, correct? 
16 
A. They all were turned over. 
17 
Q. To the houseman? 
18 
A. To the FBI. 
19 
Q. So the FBI got copies of everything that 
20 
appears on items 1 through 58 of the search warrant 
21 
inventory? 
22 
A. Items that belonged to Mr. Janusz were given 
23 
back to him. His personal computer, his external media, 
24 
his photo discs for his camera, those were returned. 
25 
Q. Was his computer reviewed before it was 
Page 573 
Q. And then you checked out 20 through 22, which 
2 
was photos from his desk and from a table in the first 
3 
floor office? 
4 
A. Correct 
5 
Q. And then you went to 26 to 30, which were more 
6 
pictures, transcript? That's Jane Doe 103,1 assume? 
7 
A. Correct 
8 
Q. So videotapes of what turned out to be adult 
9 
pornography, correct? 
10 
A. Yes. 
11 
Q. More pictures? 
12 
A. Yes. 
13 
Q. And then 49 and 50 were two message books, 
14 
correct? 
15 
A. Correct. 
16 
Q. And they came from the separate standalone 
17 
residence that is called the guest house, correct? 
18 
A. Correct. 
19 
Q. And those ultimately were message books that 
20 
were in the possession of one of Mr. Epstein's 
21 
employees, correct? 
22 
A. The houseman, yes. 
23 
Q. But they were returned to the houseman; is 
24 
that correct? 
25 
A. The message books? It would indicate there if 
Page 575 
1 
returned? 
2 
A. Yes. 
3 
Q. And it was, in other words, your forensic team 
4 
or your Sheriffs forensic team 
5 
A. The Sheriffs office. 
6 
Q. 
reviewed the computer? 
7 
A. Correct 
8 
Q. And by reviewing the computer, they image de 
9 
computer, do they not? 
10 
A. Uh-huh. 
11 
Q. And they look through the image in order not 
12 
to upset the authenticity of the different files and 
13 
folders that were in the original seized computer, 
14 
correct? 
15 
A. Correct 
16 
Q. Because you didn't know what was in the 
17 
computer, did you? 
18 
A. Correct. 
19 
Q. So in the event there was something there that 
20 
would be evidence, you didn't want to copy it and change 
21 
the modification dates by looking at the original; is 
22 
that right? 
23 
A. Correct. 
24 
Q. So what happens is that the forensic team's 
25 
law enforcement, what they did in this case, they imaged

the Dell computer that was taken from the guest house? 
2 
A. Correct. 
3 
Q. The image of the Dell computer was reviewed, 
4 
correct? 
5 
A. Correct 
6 
Q. As were different CPU units that were seized, 
7 
one on the first floor and one on the second floor of 
8 
Mr. Epstein's residence, correct? 
9 
A. 'believe there was only one on the first 
10 
floor. I don't believe there was one on the second 
11 
floor. 
12 
Q. So there was an additional CPU unit. What is 
13 
a CPU? 
14 
A. Like, a computer processing tmit. 
15 
Q. And that was imaged as well, correct? 
16 
A. Correct 
17 
Q. And the image was looked through there as 
18 
well? 
19 
A. Correct 
20 
Q. And the only piece of evidence that you 
21 
thought might be of value was a vahazy, dim lighted 
22 
picture of someone that might ben? 
23 
A. Correct There was video images of that. 
24 
Q. But you couldn't tell for sure and, therefore, 
25 
you'd be candid with us and say, I'm not 100 percent 
Page 578 
1 
Q. So die image was retained as evidence? 
2 
A. It was a packet of like CDs that contained the 
3 
images of that. 
4 
Q. Of his compute?? 
5 
A. His computer and the other CPU computer. 
6 
Q. And those were retained and not returned? 
7 
A. Correct. 
8 
Q. And then they were ultimately part of the 
9 
subject of the grand jury subpoena that the Palm 
10 
Beach — 
11 
A. Correct 
12 
Q. — PD produced —
13 
A. Correct. 
14 
Q. - later in August; is that correct? 
15 
A. Yes, sir. 
16 
Q. So that, if I'm clear, the computer forensic 
17 
procedures used on Janusz's computer, the Dell compute:, 
18 
were identical to those that would be used on any seized 
19 
computer, which is a complete and thorough computer 
20 
review of the image of the hard drive of the seized 
21 
computer? 
22 
A. Correct. 
23 
Q. And it's essentially they just an A tot 
24 
search to see whether or not the computer contains any 
25 
file or folder or e-mail or data or picture that would 
1 
sure that it was..? 
2 
A. It might be somebody else. 
3 
Q. And that was the CPU that connected to the 
4 
first floor camera, correct? 
5 
A. Correct. 
6 
Q. And that was the same CPU that was seen in 
7 
2003 to reflect the identify of the thief that was 
8 
stealing the money from Mr. Epstein's desk? 
9 
A. Possibly. 
10 
Q. It was the same connection? There was a 
11 
camera on the first floor directed at Mr. Epstein's 
12 
desk? 
13 
A. Correct. 
14 
Q. And the photos went into a separate unit? 
15 
A. Correct. 'at, I do remember. 
16 
Q. And there was nothing of value that was seen 
17 
in Mr. Epstein's fust floor desk or office that was 
18 
recorded by this camera that was in the clock, correct? 
19 
A. Correct. 
20 
Q. No sex, no massage, just a man at his desk? 
21 
A. Correct. 
22 
Q. Now, when the Dell computer was returned to 
23 
Janusz from a complete search by the forensic team, was 
24 
the image of the computer returned to him as well? 
25 
A. I don't believe so. 
Page 577 
Page 579 
1 
be consistent and further your investigation? 
2 
A. I don't believe there were e-mails. I think 
3 
it was file pictures or any data, but I don't think eve 
4 
went into e-mails. 
5 
Q. So you know these computers contain, 
6 
essentially, a mountain of information when they are 
7 
regularly used? 
8 
A. Correct. 
9 
Q. And what was done by your forensic team is to 
10 
essentially skim or scan through or review this mountain 
11 
of data to see if any one file or folder or piece of 
12 
data was consistent with and furthered your 
13 
investigation? 
14 
A. Correct 
15 
Q. And in terms of this Dell computer, the answer 
1.6 
was none? 
17 
A. Right. 
18 
Q. And in terms of the CPU that was taken from an 
19 
area on the first floor of Mr. Epstein's house, there 
20 
was none with the exception of a single image that was 
21 
bard to see and might be a? 
22 
A. There were segments of videos, but again, the 
23 
lighting was poor, so... 
24 
Q. And again, when you went in there on 
25 
October 20th with a warrant, you had no allegation from
