Putbng aside what you claim is privileged, I oi Imo 13 want to know everything that's the factual basis for emir 14 including the allegation about other minors. Mill. 15 A. Okay. Privileged information which I'm not 0111 17 16 disclosing in any way would have interacted with a vast ensss 17 body of other information. n 1622 18 The vast body of other information would have 01:1624 19 started with an 89-page police report from the Palm faun 20 Beach Police Department that showed for about a nue 21 six-month period in 2005, there was sexual abuse of m ism 22 minor girls going on on a daily basis, In — whenever stun 23 Jeffrey Epstein was in his Palm Beach mansion. 01:15.4. 24 And on some cases, it was going on not once, 0115.6 25 not twice, but three times during the day. That -- let ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 67 01 16 52 1 began, you know, I guess what we would call ot ma 2 knock-and-talks, knocking on doors to try to get to some oiler 3 of these girls, and they would get to the girls, and 16/11 4 many of them initially were — were afraid to explain ot i, 5 what had happened. el ore 6 But as they — as they continued talking to 011744 7 them, the girls began to explain that what was happening nun 8 was, they were going over to Epstein's house under the seas u 9 guise of giving a massage, and when they got there, the on2u 10 massage was, in fact, sexual activity. .11 11 And for many of the girls, I think, as I say 01022 12 around 23, 24, something along those lines, they were nun 13 underage. They were under the age of consent in 011701 14 Florida. Os 1.211 15 And so each and every one of those events was or um 16 a crime being perpetrated and let's be clear, not n oar 17 just being perpetrated by Epstein, but by other people 01 ITN 18 who were involved there at the mansion. 01 ITN 19 And so what the -- the Palm Beach Police el 1740 20 Department was putting together was that this mansion in n -1241 21 Florida was the nest of sexual abuse of young girls here 01 1744 22 in Florida that Involved, literally, in the -- in this leas 23 period of time, more than a hundred events that they es Inv 24 were able to document of sexual abuse. al use 25 And when you put that together with the ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 01 15 51 1 0115 SI 2 0135 45 01'1556 01 u551 011617 01 160S 01 16 0/ 01:1601 Of 16 12 10 Of nisi 11 Ones/ 12 01 56 is) 13 otion 14 wins 15 n1026 16 011631 17 011656 18 nun 19 sten 20 01 w.+ 21 01 w.. 22 01 144/ 23 01 16 47 24 et nee 25 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 86 me just be clear. I mean, I -- I referred to the 89-page police report. I have offered to put it into the record if -- if it would speed things up, but let's just talk about some of the things that are in that 89-page police report. This was a -- a very Intensive investigation that the Palm Beach Police Department put together. They did, for example, what are called trash covers; that is when trash came out of the -- of the mansion of Epstein, the police would intercept the trash and then they would go through the trash and look for incriminating information. And what they began to discover was memo Pads -- and I say "memo pads,- let's be clear, pad after pad after pad, or I guess I should say, sheet after sheet after sheet that had the name of a girl, and then there was a notation of something to the effect of a massage. And so the Palm Beach Police Department began tracking down, well, wait a minute, these -- these are girls giving massages and they don't seem to have any specialized training in massages; they don't seem to be masseuses in any sense of the term; what's going on here? And so the Palm Beach Police Department ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 01 1001 1 slim 2 m a 3 onto, 4 en ley 5 mutt, 6 onuw 7 et is 8 011021 9 own 10 cri ma 11 organ 12 of its 13 .its 14 *Iwo 15 011646 16 01114$ 17 mune 18 01110 19 01:164 20 al MS 21 el on 22 al no 23 01 HOY 24 01'11112 25 68 pattern or practice that was being revealed there, there were hundreds of acts of sexual abuse going on In the mansion. But then what becomes -- and this is where I indicated that, you know, the answer would continue on. The — the problem was that the evidence was starting to show that this was a much broader series of events. For example, there were flight logs showing that Mr. Epstein was then flying with underaged girls, and those flight logs, you know, as -- as the flight logs began to develop, for example, we have seen, I k wi day or two here, one underage girl w who is on the flight, you know, with Epstein, and with Maxwell, and those sorts of things. So you start to look at the flight logs and you see what's going on is not just events that are occurring in Florida, but it's occurring on a multi-state basis, which now starts to make it a federal crime. For example, we are seeing evidence that -- let's just talk abo she's central to this ca We are seein flown from Florida to New Yor w ere s e s in c utches of Jeffrey Epstein who is sexually abusing her, you know, many times a week. And not just Jeffrey Epstein, but ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 17 of 38 sheets Page 65 to 68 of 151 10/20/2015 01:07:78 PM EFTA01116762
Page 71 / 130
69 01 ten 1 other powerful persons. For example, Ghislaine Maxwell anis 2 is there with him on all of these flights and apparently e,112, 3 being involved in the abuse. • nr.. 4 Indeed -- and so you -- you have — you es nn 5 have that. You also start to see on the flight logs, 01 no 6 what to my mind are some very sinister things, 01 1104 7 suggesting that the pattern is not just confined to sort 011•10 8 of, you know, the girls that are there In Florida, but as an 9 It — it Is extending more broadly. 011141 10 Like one of the — to my mind, sinister and na 11 scary things on the flight logs is, we see, you know, sine 12 ,o we know has been sexually abused, in nu 13 and we see Jeffrey Epstein, and then we see on the si nu 14 flight logs one female. nu 15 That's kind of an odd notation for a flight .nn. 16 log because, you know, typically, I understand the ante 17 flight logs, the purpose is, well, if something happens 012001 18 with the flight, or there's some question about who was mans 19 on it, you want to know who -- who the person was who lone 20 was on the flight. 012000 21 So, to my mind, when I started to see on sin to 22 these flight logs entries like one female, I viewed that 00016 23 as a potential device for obscuring the fact that there anon 24 was interstate trafficking of underage girls for 1112011 25 purposes of sexual activity. Serious federal offenses. ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331.4400 70 011022 1 But then that evidence extended, you know, 012020 2 more broadly than that. The evidence also started to 011021 3 show, again, if we talk just abo 011011 4 the -- that underage girls such were costa 5 being flown Internationally fro , rboro 0120 01 6 in Now York to -- to locations, just to pick one, you an 7 know, for example, In London, where again sexual abuse 01100S 8 was occurring. O1101/ 9 And so you started to put together this 012001 10 pattern of criminality that was started in this -- you sass, 11 know, I don't know what the right word is here. I don't 01:2001 12 want to -- I don't want to -- you know, you've heard slain 13 discussions of hyperbole and things like that, but we onto, 14 have got this nest of — of — and I won't say snakes, 012101 15 but we have this nest of criminals in Florida, but it -- m 21 07 16 it seems to be spreading to Epstein's mansion in New eta,. 17 York; it seems to be spreading to Ghislaine Maxwell's ay.. 18 flat in London, and -- and -- and it goes on. a 21.7 19 So those are the kinds of things that would or 21 TO 20 have formed the -- the -- the basis, particularly when 0121n 21 you -- when you start to add in this fact: What the • n 22 Palm — going back now to Florida with the Palm Beach 011111 23 Police Department. What the Palm Beach Police man 24 Department has — had discovered was not a one-off kind 0111/3 25 of event, you know, on one particular day, one ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 71 011111 1 particular girl had been sexually abused. ern. 2 What the Palm Beach Police Department had o:no 3 discovered was brazen, notorious, repetitive activity 0121411 4 sometimes occurring as often as three times in a er210 5 particular day. And so that led me to believe that the oinst 6 sexual activity that was going on in Florida was such 012114 7 that someone who was a regular house guest there would 012111 8 have immediately come to the conclusion that, well, eine 9 look, gee, there are these underage girls coming in here ones 10 and they -- they seem to be -- you know, they don't seem mass 11 to be here to be doing, you know, business activities; or as 12 they -- they might be here doing other kinds of nil 13 activities. So those would be the kinds of things that arra 14 would -- would have formed the factual basis. or no 15 There are other things as well, but I'm sure 01 no 16 you want to ask other questions in addition to that. So 012222 17 I'll stop there, but those — that's — I think gives an 24 18 you a small flavor of the kind of evidence that, you 01 nn 19 know, was form — undergirding the allegations that were Ginn 20 being presented here. 01 an 21 Q.

Based on your recollection — Right. -. I want to know all the evidence -- Right you were relying on here. So what — what I'm going to do is, I'm going to make a list here on my -- on my notepad of all the things, and then I'm going to compare that with notes I have here. There may be a couple things that I don't cover. Q. As long as your counsel is okay with that. A. Yeah. Q. You understand you'll have to give that to me7 A. Yeah. give you the notes — Q. All right. A. -- and then I will compare with what I've got ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331.4400 75 oinu 1 Mr. Epstein saying that she had been trafficked, °inn 2 sexually trafficked, you know, not just abused by 010 44 3 Mr. Epstein, but now being forcibly sent to, you know, 471 2446 4 other people to abuse. 01 x43 5 And In the categories of people that were 14 010157 6 sexually abusing her were academicians, and I knew that °Inas 7 Mr. Dershowitz fell within that category of -- of being cram 8 an academician. The — that complaint also Indicated 02304 9 that there I flight logs that would show that ono. 10 d been sexually abused in these etas* 11 And that started to indicate to me 0127+o 12 that there might be what the la mon 0x10 13 scheme or plan. And that, just as *inn 14 being trafficked to these powe Qin?, 15 places, there might well be other girls. 012024. 16 And so I have mentioned a flight log, and let or as n 17 you — you wanted to talk about Mr. Dershowitz. On 01x33 18 on December 30th, 2009, I was aware that there was a or sat 19 flight log showing Mr. Dershowitz flying with Tatiana, size., 20 who as far as I can tell was not a business person, was 01044 21 not providing financial advice or something else. man 22 I understood that Mr. Epstein was a inn u 23 billionaire who was heavily involved in financial 441x.7 24 issues. I knew that Tatiana was on a plane with 01x0 25 Mr. Dershowitz, and then there was also, if I recall ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 74 4121n 1 there. So I mentioned the Palm Beach Police Department a 24 14 2 report. 23.x.1 3 The next thing that I want to mention is the on. Is 4 Jane Doe 102 complaint. In August of 2009, Bob 012427 5 losefsberg -- who is, from what / understood, a very 012432 6 well-regarded lawyer here in Florida; in fact, a lawyer 01:431 7 that was selected by the United States Government to 01x30 8 represent a number of the --of the girls that had been 0124 40 9 sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein. He was he was part of the procedure that was including the non prosecution agreement behalf that Flori ,a he filed a complaint on t complaint indicated n sexually abused in in -- in other places, as I recall. The thing that -- that I pa was that Mr. )osefsberg had said as abused by -- and he gave some ca egor es o peop e. He mentioned, I think, business people. He mentioned royalty, and he mentioned academicians. And so to tie into your question, I knew that Professor Dershowitz was an academician. And so what I was seeing now was, that according to a very, very respected attorney here in Florida, he had found to be credible, and had filed a lawsuit ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 76 oi nru 1 correctly, working from memory as -- as you were O1270 2 wondering about, there was a notation that Orr... 3 Mr. Dershowitz was on a plane with one female. one 4 And so I was — when I looked at that, I'm omit 5 seeing Mr. Dershowitz on a -- on a flight with a woman rune 6 who doesn't seem to be there for, frankly anything other en is 7 than sexual purposes or something along those lines with a,2721 8 Mr. Epstein, with Mr. Epstein, who Is a sex trafficker, at 2721 9 and with one female which seemed to me to be a potential 01 0 30 10 entry for disguising international sex trafficking. So that was of concern. I then began to look at, well, I wonder, how would I find out if Mr. Dershowitz had been abusing other girls/ Let's see. I knew the had been forced to — to — to -- to thing..

So I was beginning to draw an adverse 0 mil 11 adverse inference, not just from one person, but from an ii 12 inference when Jeffrey Epstein, who is at the heart of 0 340 12 four persons, and that adverse inference was being a 12 34 13 the sexual abuse of, not only Virginia Roberts, but 01.310 13 strengthened by the surrounding circumstances, some of 013230 14 dozens and dozens and dozens of -- of girls literally ,in.. 14 which we have already talked about. a1.040 15 scattered across the globe, takes the Fifth, refuses to et MO 15 One of the things that -- that really mac 16 answer the question, off the top of my head, I can't 013302 16 bolstered the adverse inference that I was drawing in ono 17 recall exactly, but something along lines of: Do you 0 )003 17 this case was that I've mentioned those three girls, sin.. 18 know Alan Dershowitz?

And one of a sew 25 the top of my head, that -- that I had an opportunity to mars 25 the things that was very unusual in this one is, it has ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 21 of 38 sheets Page 81 to 84 of 151 10/20/2015 01:07:28 PM EFTA01116766

85 013679 1 what I'll refer to as the blank-check immunity 01.3533 2 provision. 013014 3 There was a provision In the nonprosecution 0155 40 4 agreement that said, this agreement will prevent federal 01.3510 5 prosecution for international and interstate sex or 45 43 6 trafficking, not only of Jeffrey Epstein, and not only sinus 7 of the four women who were identified, but — and this mans 8 is a direct quote: Any other potential co-conspirator, 01)553 9 close quote. m. ass 10 And so that was unusual because what It — or so 11 what it seemed to be doing was that somehow this 01.n14 12 agreement was quite out of the normal and had been 013100 13 designed to extend immunity to other people that might en au 14 have been associated with Epstein. sines 15 And I knew that that category included the 014303 16 people that were involved in negotiating this highly 011x11 17 unusual provision included Mr. Dershowitz, who had been 0'3414 18 heavily involved, not only in the drafting of the ova sr 19 agreement, but had also been involved remarkably In oram 20 attacking the credibility of these girls and saying nix 21 things like, you know, it was — Epstein wasn't Ot3120 22 targeting minor girls, which just struck -- you know, I 033433 23 was -- I don't want to use a technical term, 413035 24 gob-smocked, that a defense attorney with an obligation sus y 25 to tell the truth was making a factual representation ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954)331.4400 01'37 40 1 044/44 2 01.37.47 3 • 37s1 4 013755 013714 6 013741 7 neo 8 O13403 9 013401 10 otsan 11 elan 12 0141115 13 elan 14 soils 15 011430 16 man 17 O1.31141 18 ova* 19 elan 20 o,,. 21 014137 22 oleo 23 01100 24 013041 25 87 that are said there, but Alessi puts Mr. Dershowitz at the nest of this international sex trafficking organization. Let's see. I think he said four or five times a year, two or three -- you know, two or three days when he goes there. And let's be clear, I know Mr. Dershowitz had said at some points like, I'm an attorney, and that's my client and so forth. And Alessi said, no, but this was not in a — in a lawyer/client capacity; this is in a friend capacity. And so now we have Alessi putting him there at the same time when young girls were there. And one of the -- the — the things that I picked up, so is Alessi — you know, is he able to figure out who these girls are? A photograph 111- shown to Juan Alessi in the deposition, and he I.D.s the photograph as, you know, V.R., so he -- he had, you know, put two and two together. So now I've got V.R. coming to the house at a time when Mr. Dershowitz is also in the house, and apparently spending, you know, two to three nights there and doing this four or live times a year. Now, Alessi wasn't the only one. There was Alfredo Rodriguez who was there in about 2004 to 2005, ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954)331-4400 013142 01 0144 elf 47 0121 VI 013114 013457 011414 011/141 013701 013703 10 owes 11 0137.4 12 0137» 13 014411 14 warn 15 0137 le 16 elan 17 014771 18 01'3774 19 ern 211 20 01:3749 21 wales 22 033733 23 0337)3 24 41 55 25 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 86 that Jeffrey Epstein was not targeting minor girls, when the Palm Beach Police Department had collected, you know, 23 of them that had all given essentially interlocking stories about how they had all gone over to this house, you know, the mansion, to give a massage and when they had gotten there, they had been sexually abused. So the kingpin wouldn't talk. The next echelon of the trafficking organization wouldn't talk. So the next step was to say, okay, let's see if we can find somebody, you know, lower level in there, you know, a household employee or something like that; maybe they will have some information about, you know, what this criminal organization is doing. Now, let's -- let's understand, you know, given the pervasiveness of the -- of the criminal activity, I -- I wasn't convinced that they were going to be able to get in there and start saying exactly what was going on because they might well be exposing themselves to criminal — you know, criminal culpability. But I -- I was able to read a sworn deposition from Juan Alessi, and Juan Alessi -- I think -- I don't know. Maybe Just to speed things up today, I won't go through all the things that are — ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 01 1414 01 ax 01 J. 54 01s101 01 mw ono 01 NY 0.01-14 00519 88 1 after the time period of ut it's part 2 of the common scheme or plan that we've been discussing 3 here. 4 And so in 2005, Alfredo Rodriguez says, yeah, 5 again, Mr. Dershowitz is there at a time when these 6 massages are going on. When you start to look at Alessi 7 and Rodriguez's statements in context where they're — 8 they're saying he's there at the same time the massages 9 are occurring, and with the West Palm Beach Police orlon 10 Department reports showing that massages are of a sexual main 11 nature, again, it started to put two and two together. or me 12 One of the things that was particularly ol yin 13 important about Rodriguez's situation was that Rodriguez 013434 14 had an access to what's been called the lithe black al nu 15 book, or I think he referred to it as the holy grail. 01n40 16 This was Jeffrey Epstein's, you know, telephone book o: nu 17 where he had telephone numbers in it. oi no 18 And so Rodriguez had that and, you know, I ran 19 guess thought that this would be worth a lot of money 013. so 20 because it would -- you know, it would identify all of tans, 21 the people that have been sexually abused by -- by 013054 22 Jeffrey Epstein. And so he tried to sell it. The FBI sine 23 busted him for that. stun 24 And when the FBI busted him, now he's got 014003 25 this book. And so the book went to Alessi, and ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954)331-4400 10/20/2015 01:07:28 PM Page 85 to 88 of 151 22 of 38 sheets EFTA01116767

014121 2 034121 3 01,133 4 014134 5 014136 6 014130 7 01410 8 014145 9 014140 10 89 01.430S 1 according to a ton later FBI report, Alessi 014301 2 identified information that was pertinent to the FBI's 014007 3 investigation. 014011 4 And so when I look at the little black book 014014 5 that I have seen copies of, there are a handful of names o,40 6 in that black book that have been circled, apparently by ono,: 7 Mr. Rodriguez, and one of the names that's -- that has 014025 8 been circled is Alan Dershowitz. And so that, to me, 014030 9 was suggesting that Mr. Rodriguez had identified, you 01 4036 10 know, Alan DershowItz as somebody who had information non 11 about this this international sex trafficking ring. era 12 But just as a side note, but an important eto 13 note, when the -- the thing that was circled on the Alan 014466 14 Dershowitz page was not a single phone number e, 400 15 Indicating, you know, somebody had bumped -- you know, coos, 16 Epstein had bumped into at one point. I believe there 0140 36 17 were 10 or 11 phone numbers that were associated with u 18 Mr. Dershowitz that had all been circled and an e-mail 014100 19 address as well. DI 41174 20 So that started to corroborate my sense that 0, no: 21 Mr. Dershowits was, indeed, a very close friend of 0141'0 22 Jeffrey Epstein. Now, I had then continued to do 014114 23 there's been reference today to, you know, using Google oin ol 24 to do research and so forth. So I Googled Jeffrey otn,o 25 Epstein and one of the things that pops up rather ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 381-4400 91 014232 1 a lot of money. I mean, Epstein was identified as a 01 402 2 billionaire in this article, billionaire with -- with a in on 3 8, so the record is clear. 014234 4 But he said, look, if Epstein lost all his Oleo 5 money -- I'm paraphrasing here -- I would be, you know, el coo 6 happy to walk down, you know, the Coney Island Boardwalk oleo 7 with him and discuss things with him, as -- you know, oleo 8 even if he didn't have any money. °lose 9 So now I'm seeing Dershowitz is a very close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein. And then 1 started to look at flight logs. There were -- there were some very interesting things that I noticed on the flight logs. 014204 10 mass 11 014301 12 014301 13 o'.,oi 14 One of the things I noticed was when I began 014107 15 to, you know, get into this, that, you know, I was 014113 16 wondering, well, what -- well, how do these flight logs 0143114 17 come into the possession of, you know, law enforcement more 18 agencies? And the answer turned out to be that they had 014330 19 been provided by Epstein's defense attorney and -- and, 014373 20 you know, coincidentally, I suppose, or in my mind, slur 21 suspiciously, they were not provided by Just any defense 034130 22 attorney on this rather large defense team. They were woo 23 provided by one attorney according to Detective Recarey. 0143.36 24 Detective Recarey testified under oath that the flight 01a30 25 logs were provided to him by Alan Dershowitz. ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 3314400 90 non 1 rapidly Is an article in Vanity Fair. And what you see In that article is, you know, discussion about Mr. Epstein, but when you're trying to do a profile of someone, you try to figure out who that person's closest friends are. And so the Vanity Fair author had gone to Alan Dershowitz, you know, our -- Mr. Dershowitz here, and had asked him, hey, what do you know about Jeffrey Epstein? And, again, off the top of my head, you want sr 4117 11 to know what 1 can remember right now. What I can 014140 12 remember right now Is that in the Vanity Fair article, 01411.) 13 the -- in the Vanity Fair article, Mr. Dershowitz said, 014114 14 I've written 20-some odd books; there's only one person *too 15 outside my immediate family with whom I share drafts, moos 16 and that's Jeffrey Epstein. enter 17 So I took that as indicating a -- a very 01010 18 close personal association that -- you know, among the *ion 19 people that that obviously he's sharing this -- these (non 20 kinds of things that he wants evaluated before he shares woo 21 them with the broader world, there's his immediate no,' 22 family and then there's -- there's Jeffrey Epstein. *ton 23 There was also another similar quote in the wow 24 article that indicated that — that Mr. Dershowitz said ran 25 that he wasn't interested in Epstein just because he had ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 92 01.4341 1 So one of the things that was -- was 014343 2 interesting is, Dershowitz has had access to these 014341 3 flight logs, and now I'm beginning to wonder, well, has 014346 4 there been an opportunity to sanitize those flight logs OS 43411 5 or remove any incriminating information? OS 4111 6 And — and one of the things that was 014144 7 interesting about the flight logs that were produced -- 0143$11 8 I believe just so the record is clear, that was Exhibit 034402 9 1 that -- if we could -- if I could refer -- I need to 01404 10 refresh my recollection as to -- well, I don't -- you 01407 11 may not want me to look at documents. 014404 12 It was either Exhibit 1 or 2 this morning 0i«1, 13 during Dershowitz's deposition which was covering a time 014415 14 period of January to, I believe, September 2005. These on 15 were flight logs that were produced by Mr. Dershowitz to e41.23 16 the Palm Beach Police Department. 014426 17 And you wonder why did they stop in nun 18 September -- you know, why stop in September 2005? ei errs 19 What's the significance of that? Well, later on, 01406 20 additional flight logs were obtained, and sure enough, nos 21 who shows up on an October 2005 flight log with Jeffrey 014446 22 Epstein? Mr. Dershowitz. en 444 23 So that led to a suspicion that mass 24 Mr. Dershowitz had provided to the Palm Beach Police at 44.1 25 Department flight logs that, the time period of which ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 23 of 38 sheets Page 89 to 92 of 151 10/2W2015 01:07:28 PM EFTA01116768

93 01404 1 for the production had been carefully crafted to keep II 440 2 him out of it; in other words, to not produce the 0,4411 3 October 2005 version. 014603 4 The other thing I - I began to discover as I oi.ssos 5 started going through some flight logs, Dave Rogers, who 014103 6 is one of I think about three pilots that — that 01010 7 Epstein regularly relied on to fly his — you know, he 010 0 8 had very fancy — to use the technical term -- Jets. ...sir 9 There were about -- there were about three pilots there. .).42, 10 One of them had some flight logs and that — co 4324 11 that was Pilot Dave Rogers, if I'm recalling his name Men 12 correctly. And so later on in the litigation, the sex oven 13 abuse litigation against Epstein, flight logs were °Ina. 14 obtained from Dave Rogers, and it was possible to -- to O1450 15 compare I'm sorry. I don't mean to — I want to make 01040 16 sure I get -- you know, the question is: How much can I 01 40 17 remember and I'm trying to make sure I get — get it all In. 01410 18 CO 4145 19 04144 20 And so the flight logs were produced from Dave Rogers. And so Dave Rogers produced some flight onssi 21 logs, and some of the flights that he produced logs for DI 64 22 coincided with the logs that Mr. Dershowitz had provided m.sso 23 to the Palm Beach Police Department, and there were ol.rol 24 inconsistencies.

No, I mean, I want to make -- I want to make clear that there was a lot of information that I was relying on in filing this pleading, and -- and, of course, the later pleading. So we are on the subject of flight logs. Flight logs showed that the flight logs Mr. Dershowitz had produced to Detective Recarey were incomplete and inaccurate. And so that led to concern on my part that Mr. Dershowitz had had an opportunity to sanitize the flight logs, had -- had -- had provided incomplete production, you know, obviously, very important production that the Palm Beach Police Department was looking at. Then we got some additional flight logs from Dave Rogers. And what those flight logs showed -- first off, lees talk again about the -- the production of those flight logs. My recollection is that Dave Rogers's flight logs were provided by Bruce Reinhart who was a former Assistant U.S. Attorney who had been inside the Southern District of Florida Office at a time when the Epstein case was the subject of regular discussion in that office. ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 3314400 94 O1460 1 MR. SCOTT: I Just got a call from a lawyer 0144 01 2 on the screen.

And 01044 4 so, now, Reinhart, who appeared to be being paid o14744 5 by Mr. Epstein, and certainly was adjacent to 014741 6 Mr. Epstein's business office, was producing 01051 7 these flight logs. 8 So that, again, aroused suspicion that the flight logs that were being produced would have been sanitized or inaccurate. But even — I mean, you know, I think the problem with -- you know, you can't sanitize everything. That would be too suspicious. And so what -- what was -- was -- what was evident on these fight logs was, for example, approximately ten flights by Mr. Dershowitz with Tatiana has -- has been discussed; with Maxwell; with Jeffrey fu en 18 Epstein. One of them had one female, which, 01 on 19 again, in the context that I was looking at, 014021 20 seemed to be a potential code word for camon 21 underage -- underage girl. Of 4412 22 And so those flight logs showed, you know, main 23 again, close association and travel with -- 014440 24 with -- with — with Mr. Dershowitz, and 0,4047 25 Mr. Epstein.

And -- and so there was an attempt, you know, a 2009 attempt, a 2011 attempt to get information from W. Dershowitz. Then there was another subpoena without deposition for -- for documents. You know, we have heard a lot about records in this case that could prove Innocence. There was a records request to Mr. Dershowitz In 2013. And, again, my understanding was that there was no -- you know, no documents were provided on that. And so those -- I had that Information. Another bit of information that I had was that in 2011, I believe in early April -- this Is not Ieged information from Is Is a telephone call that she placed from Australia where she had been ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331.4400 awn 1 I want to do a good job fo 04412 2 on -- on representing all t ma,. 3 that Is available to support her. 02100 4 The next thing that I was thinking of was, ram I. 5 all right, then the question Is: Well, what does 021423 6 Mr. Dershowitz have to say about all this? So I 0140 2? 7 started to look at the information on that as 021424 8 well. ran 9 In 2009, there had been a deposition request inn 10 sent to Mr. Dershowitz, and I -- I saw a document 024:13/ 11 showing that that had actually been served on - - am do 12 on him, and, you know, to the extent that what I one« 13 saw was a -- I think a receipt from the process one 4. 14 server, or something along those lines, so I saw eras, 15 attempt to contact him in -- in 2009. 010053 16 And then I saw an additional attempt to mess 17 contact him in 2011. Mr. Scarola had sent him a ono' 18 note and there was, you know, some back and oimii 19 forth. The -- the one note that -- that jumped nom 20 out to me was one in which Mr. Scarola had mom 21 written to Mr. Dershowitz, I think the phrase 020•12 22 was: Multiple witnesses have placed you in the ow. 23 presence of Jeffrey Epstein and underage girls; rain 24 would like to depose you about those subjects. tams 25 And the answer that came back was not, well, ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 011027 1 0021 2 onI 3 izirof 4 02.102. 5 au, 41 6 woo 7 oakum 8 021044 9 an. 10 nu 11 *met 12 nloi 13 021116 14 gene; 15 021112 16 02114 17 021”. 18 0311 11 19 021111 20 021121 21 021123 22 02 1120 23 021124 24 01131 25 104 essentially forced into hiding by Jeffrey Epstein. She managed to escape and was hiding out in -- in Australia, and that she would -- that somehow, you know, Mr. Scarola and Mr. Edwards were able to reach her and there was a telephone call that was made. And in that telephone call she Identified Alan Dershowitz as someone who would have relevant information about Jeffrey Epstein and the sexual abuse of underage girls. And so I had that Information as well. So that, as I understand, the question was: What could I recall off the top of my head with regard to the factual basis for information connecting Mr. Dershowitz with the sexual abuse of minor girls, plural, and that, sitting here at this moment, is the best that I can recall for the information along those lines.
