sorry, Kathy Ezell is here.

MS. EZELL: Give me one second. 
7 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Just put it on mute, please. 
8 
MR. KUVIN: You can probably turn the volume

2 
Q. 
Mr. Epstein, on January 30th of 2008, isn't it 
3 
true that you pled guilty to procuring a person under

5

No. 
6

MR. KUVIN: I'm sorry, what are we doing? 
16 
MR. GOLDBERGER: I'm taking a break to talk to 
17 
my client. 
18 
MR. KUVIN: For what reason? 
19 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Whether we have to invoke a 
20 
privilege or not. 
21 
MR. KUVIN: Okay. 
22 
THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Going off the record at 
23 
10:10. 
24 
(A brief recess was taken.) 
25 
THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We're back on the record at 
0023 
1 
10:12. 
2 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
3 
Q. 
Okay. Mr. Epstein, did you plead guilty to 
4 
procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution? 
5 
A. 
I pled guilty procuring a minor, I believe, 
6 
for prostitution. 
7 
Q. 
When did you plead guilty to that charge? 
8 
A. 
On June the 30th. 
9 
Q. 
And did you procure a minor for prostitution 
10 
in compliance with that charge? 
11 
A. 
I fully intend to respond to all relevant 
12 
questions regarding this lawsuit; however, at the 
13 
present time, my attorneys have counseled me I cannot 
14 
provide answers to any questions relevant to this 
15 
lawsuit. I must accept this advice or risk losing my 
16 
6th Amendment right to effective representation. 
17 
Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights 
18 
as guaranteed by the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment to the 
19 
US Constitution. 
20 
Q. 
Okay. I'd like to mark as Exhibit 1 the 
21 
Florida Department of Law Enforcement Sexual 
22 
Offender/Predator Flyer. 
23 
MR. KUVIN: For the record, let me show that 
24 
to Mr. -- well, let me show that to the camera, 
25 
first. 
0024 
1 
Okay. Let me know when you have it. 
2 
(Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 1 was marked for 
3 
identification.) 
4 
THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Okay. 
5 
MR. KUVIN: Okay? 
6 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
7 
Q. 
All right. Let me show you this sexual 
8 
offender/predator flyer. Is that you, sir? 
9 
A. 
It's a photograph of me, yes. 
10 
Q. 
Okay. Is that the predator flyer for you? 
11 
A. 
No, it is not. 
EFTA01158525
Page 5 / 66
12 
Q. 
Who's it for? 
13 
A. 
It's a sexual offender flyer. 
14 
Q. 
I'm sorry, I was reading the title where it 
15 
says "Predator Flyer." Do you see that? 
16 
A. 
It actually said "Sexual Offender/Predator" 
17 
because it's used for both categories. And if you'll 
18 
notice, the designation says sexual offender, which is 
19 
extremely different than sexual predator. 
20 
Q. 
What's your understanding of the difference 
21 
between the two? 
22 
A. 
I'm not -- I know I'm a sex -- I've been 
23 
registered as a sexual offender. 
24 
Q. 
Why are you a sexual offender? 
25 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Jeff. 
0025 
1 
THE WITNESS: I fully intend to respond to all 
2 
relevant questions regarding this lawsuit; however, 
3 
at the present time, my attorneys have counseled me 
4 
I cannot provide answers to any questions relevant 
5 
to this lawsuit. I must accept this advice or risk 
6 
losing my 6th Amendment right to effective 
representation. Accordingly, I have to assert my 
federal constitutional rights as guaranteed by the 
5th, 6th and 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. 
MR. KUVIN: Let's go ahead and I'd like to 
mark what you're reading from here today as Exhibit 
2 to the deposition. 
(Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 2 was marked for 
identification.) 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
Q. 
Who prepared that document for you, sir? 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Don't answer that question, 
Jeffrey. It's attorney-client privileged and this 
is my work product, and we're not marking it, so... 
MR. KUVIN: I don't think you have the right 
to tell me what I can and can't --
MR. GOLDBERGER: You can mark it all you 
want --
MR. KUVIN: It's been marked. 
MR. GOLDBERGER: You can mark it all you want,

but it's not --
2 
MR. KUVIN: If you choose to --
3 
MR. GOLDBERGER: It's not -- it's not being 
4 
admitted into evidence. 
5 
MR. KUVIN: Sir, please don't interrupt me. 
6 
Are you --
7 
MR. GOLDBERGER: I'll interrupt you --
8 
MR. KUVIN: Are you representing Mr. Epstein 
9 
in this deposition or is Mr. Pike? Because I want 
10 
to be clear which one of you is going to be doing 
11 
the talking during the deposition. 
12 
MR. GOLDBERGER: We both are representing 
13 
Mr. Epstein. 
14 
MR. PIKE: Let's go off the record for a 
15 
second. 
16 
MR. KUVIN: No, we're not going off the 
17 
record. We're staying on the record and only one 
18 
attorney may speak at a time. 
19 
So right now, I'd like you all to choose. I 
20 
don't mind, either one of you can inject --
21 
MR. PIKE: Hold on a second. 
22 
MR. KUVIN: -- and represent Mr. Epstein. 
EFTA01158526
Page 6 / 66
23 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Let -- let -- let him finish. 
24 
Let him finish. 
25 
MR. KUVIN: Let me finish, please. 
0027 
1 
Either one of you can represent Mr. Epstein, 
2 
but I don't want objections flying from both 
3 
chairs, both Mr. Epstein's criminal lawyer and his 
4 
civil lawyer. 
5 
So I'd ask you to please choose which one is 
6 
going to object, just like Judge Hafele has 
7 
required at hearings that only one attorney can 
8 
represent Mr. Epstein in an argument at a hearing. 
9 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Actually, we have two 
10 
different roles in this matter. I represent 
11 
Mr. Epstein on all criminal matters, so I'm going 
12 
to speak when I think it's relevant to any criminal 
13 
matters. And Mr. Pike represents Mr. Epstein on 
14 
any civil matters, and he will speak when it's 
15 
relevant to any civil matters. 
16 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
17 
Q. 
Okay. Sir, can I please have the paper back, 
18 
which has already been marked as Exhibit 2? 
19 
MR. KUVIN: Mr. Goldberger, if you choose that 
20 
this document is not to be produced in this case, I 
21 
have no objection to you sealing that document 
22 
until such time as Judge Hafele decides the issue 
23 
as to whether or not I'm allowed to mark something 
24 
that the witness is reading in a deposition. Is 
25 
that fair to you? 
0028 
1 
MR. GOLDBERGER: You can mark anything you 
2 
want to mark. Go ahead and mark it, and then we'll 
3 
go from there. 
4 
MR. KUVIN: Okay, sounds good. Thank you very 
5 
much. 
6 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
7 
Q. 
Okay, sir. What I've marked as Exhibit 2, did 
8 
you prepare that document? 
9 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Attorney-client. 
10 
THE WITNESS: Attorney-client privilege. 
11 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
12 
Q. 
Sir, you are reading from a document, are you 
13 
not, when I ask you certain questions? 
14 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Attorney-client. 
15 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
16 
Q. 
The document that you're reading from is 
17 
Exhibit 2 that's in front of you right now. 
18 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Attorney-client. 
19 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
20 
Q. 
Why do you feel a need to read from a document 
21 
with respect to the issues of whether or not you have a 
22 
5th Amendment right? 
23 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Attorney-client. 
24 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
25 
Q. 
Sir, with respect to the last questions I was 
0029 
1 
asking you about, the difference between a sexual 
2 
offender and a sexual predator, when Mr. Goldberg piped 
3 
up and said your --
4 
MR. GOLDBERGER: 
Goldberger. Goldberger. 
5 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
6 
Q. 
-- I'm sorry, Mr. Goldberger said your name in 
7 
order to clue you in to object on 5th Amendment 
EFTA01158527
Page 7 / 66
8 
grounds --
9 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Form. 
10 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
11 
Q. 
-- did you feel a need to respond at that 
12 
point? 
13 
MR. PIKE: Object to the form. 
14 
MR. GOLDBERGER: The invocation of 5th 
15 
Amendment privileges is going to be decided by me, 
16 
as Mr. Epstein's criminal counsel. I will make 
17 
that decision. 
18 
MR. KUVIN: Okay. I would just like to note 
19 
for the record that that's improper. That's not 
20 
what the case law says, and we'll take that up --
21 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Fair enough. 
22 
MR. KUVIN: -- issue with Judge Hafele? 
23 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
24 
Q. 
All right, sir. Do you consider yourself a 
25 
sexual offender or a sexual predator, which one? 
0030 
1 
A. 
I fully intend to respond to all relevant 
2 
questions regarding this lawsuit; however, at the 
3 
present time, my attorneys have counseled me I cannot 
4 
provide answers to any questions relevant to this 
5 
lawsuit. I must accept this advice or risk losing my 
6 
6th Amendment right to effective representation. 
7 
Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights 
8 
as guaranteed by the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment to the 
9 
US Constitution. 
10 
Q. 
Sir, do you like having things inserted in 
11 
your anus for sexual gratification? 
12 
MR. PIKE: Objection, argumentative, 
13 
harassing. 
14 
THE WITNESS: I fully intend to respond to all 
15 
relevant questions regarding this lawsuit; however, 
16 
at the present time, my attorneys have counseled me 
17 
I cannot provide answers to any questions relevant 
18 
to this lawsuit. I must accept this advice or risk 
19 
losing my 6th Amendment right to effective 
20 
representation. 
21 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
22 
Q. 
Do you live at 35 --
23 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Hold on. 
24 
THE WITNESS: Excuse me, let me finish. Is 
25 
that fair. 
0031 
1 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
2 
Q. 
Absolutely. I certainly want you to finish. 
3 
A. 
Accordingly, I assert my federal 
4 
constitutional rights as guaranteed by the 5th, 6th and 
5 
14th Amendment to the US Constitution. 
6 
Q. 
Sir, do you live at 358 El Brillo Way, Palm 
7 
Beach, Florida? 
8 
A. 
I fully intend to respond to all relevant 
9 
questions regarding this lawsuit; however, at the 
10 
present time, my attorneys have counseled me I cannot 
11 
provide answers to any questions relevant to this 
12 
lawsuit. I must accept this advice or risk losing my 
13 
6th Amendment right to effective representation. 
14 
Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional right as 
15 
guaranteed by the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment to the US 
16 
Constitution. 
17 
Q. 
I noticed that Mr. Goldberger shook his head 
18 
when I asked you where you lived. Do you have a problem 
EFTA01158528
Page 8 / 66
19 
letting us know where you live? 
20 
I'm trying to understand why that issue is 
21 
protected by the 5th Amendment, given the fact that 
22 
you're required to live at that address pursuant to the 
23 
sexual offender flyer and pursuant to the Court's order 
24 
convicting you based on your guilty plea. 
25 
MR. PIKE: Form, argumentative. 
0032 
1 
THE WITNESS: Do you want to repeat the 
2 
question? 
3 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
4 
Q. 
Sure. Did the Court require you to stay at 
5 
358 El Brillo Way on Palm Beach --
6 
(Interruption in the proceedings.) 
7 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
Q. 
Sir, did the Court require you to stay at 358 
El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Florida subsequent to you 
being released from prison? 
MR. PIKE: Form. 
THE WITNESS: I fully intend to respond to all 
relevant questions regarding this lawsuit; however, 
at the present time, my attorneys have counseled me 
I cannot provide any answers to questions relevant 
to this lawsuit. I must accept this advice or risk 
losing my 6th Amendment right to effective 
representation. Accordingly, I assert my federal 
constitutional rights as guaranteed by the 5th, 
6th and 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. 
MR. KUVIN: 
Q. 
Let's go ahead and mark as Exhibit 3 a nice 
photo of your home. 
(Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 3 was marked for 
identification.)

BY MR. KUVIN: 
2 
Q. 
Okay. Let's get this for the camera, if I 
3 
could. Okay. 
4 
All right. I'm going to show you what I've 
5 
marked as Exhibit 3. Is that a photograph of your home, 
6 
sir, at 358 El Brillo Way? 
7 
A. 
I fully intend to respond to all relevant 
8 
questions regarding this lawsuit; however, at the 
9 
present time, my attorneys have counseled me I cannot 
10 
provide answers to any questions relevant to this 
11 
lawsuit. I must accept this advice or risk losing my 
12 
6th Amendment right to effective representation. 
13 
Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights 
14 
as guaranteed by the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment to the 
15 
US Constitution. 
16 
Q. 
I had asked you before whether or not you 
17 
liked things inserted in your anus for sexual 
18 
gratification, and I'd like to go back to that for a 
19 
moment, if I could. 
20 
Have you read the police report, incident 
21 
report, on your arrest? 
22 
MR. PIKE: Form, argumentative, harassing. 
23 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Attorney-client work product. 
24 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
25 
Q. 
Sir, according to the report, there was a 
0034 
1 
purple item retrieved from your trash at 358 El Brillo 
2 
Way that appeared to be a device known as a jelly anal 
3 
wand. Have you ever heard of something like that? 
EFTA01158529

4 
MR. PIKE: Form, argumentative, harassing. 
5 
Same objections, attorney-client work product. 
6 
THE WITNESS: I fully intend to respond to all 
7 
relevant questions regarding this lawsuit; however, 
8 
at the present time, my attorneys have counseled me 
9 
I cannot provide answers to any questions relevant 
10 
to this lawsuit. I must accept this advice or risk 
11 
losing my 6th Amendment right to effective 
12 
representation. Accordingly, I assert my federal 
13 
constitutional rights as guaranteed by the 5th, 6th 
14 
and 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. 
15 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
16 
Q. 
Outside of your home at 358 El Brillo Way was 
17 
also recovered a 3-inch purple-sized finger -- I'm 
18 
sorry, a 3-inch purple finger-sized object which had a 
19 
broken end, which is apparently a sexual toy similar --
20 
similar to a cyclone vibrator possibly used for rectal 
21 
gratification. 
22 
Do you know what a cyclone vibrator is? 
23 
A. 
No. 
24 
MR. PIKE: Form, harassing. 
25 
THE WITNESS: No, but I do know that that 
0035 
1 
MR. PIKE: Same objections. 
2 
THE WITNESS: -- broken purple object turned 
3 
out to be, later on, described as a salad fork from 
4 
the kitchen, strictly something that had been 
5 
broken in the dishwasher and then reported it in a 
6 
report obviously inaccurately. 
7 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
8 
Q. 
Okay. So the broken --
9 
A. 
Salad fork, nothing more than a broken salad 
10 
fork, correct. 
11 
Q. 
So the 3-inch purple finger-sized object was a 
12 
salad fork? 
13 
A. 
Was a broken handle of a salad fork. Yes, the 
14 
question has been asked and answered, I believe. 
15 
Q. 
Okay. When did you see that? 
16 
MR. PIKE: Form. 
17 
THE WITNESS: See what? 
18 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
19 
Q. 
Well, you called --
20 
A. 
See that. What's the that? 
21 
Q. 
You called it a salad fork. 
22 
When did you see the salad fork after the 
23 
police had taken it into custody? 
24 
MR. PIKE: Form. 
25 
THE WITNESS: I did not see the salad fork, 
0036 
1 
nor did I represent that I did see the salad fork. 
2 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
3 
Q. 
Okay. So you have no idea what it was that 
4 
the police took out of the trash? 
5 
A. 
The police --
6 
MR. PIKE: Form. 
7 
THE WITNESS: -- filed a later report saying 
8 
it was a salad fork, I believe. 
9 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
10 
Q. 
You never saw that piece, did you? 
11 
A. 
No. 
12 
Q. 
You have no idea what it was that they took 
13 
out of there? 
14 
MR. PIKE: Form. 
EFTA01158530
Page 10 / 66
15 
THE WITNESS: I just said the police said it 
16 
was a salad fork, a mere salad fork misrepresented 
17 
in that police report, as many things have been, it 
18 
seems. 
19 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
20 
Q. 
Did they misrepresent the jelly anal wand? 
21 
A. 
I've --
22 
MR. PIKE: Form. 
23 
THE WITNESS: -- never heard of that before. 
24 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
25 
Q. 
Have you used vibrators that you've placed in 
0037 
1 
your anus? 
2 
MR. PIKE: Form, objection, harassing. 
3 
THE WITNESS: No. 
4 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
5 
Q. 
You never placed anything like a vibrator in 
6 
your anus? 
7 
MR. PIKE: Same objections. 
8 
THE WITNESS: No. 
9 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
10 
Q. 
There was in a dresser of an armoire of your 
11 
home 
12 
MR. KUVIN: This is page 44, Counsel. I'd 
13 
like to reference it. 
14 
THE WITNESS: Is that marked as an exhibit? I 
15 
don't know what he's reading. 
16 
MR. PIKE: It's not marked as an exhibit. 
17 
THE WITNESS: The police report? 
18 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
19 
Q. 
No, it's not. It's my work product, much like 
20 
how Mr. Goldberger felt that your 5th Amendment was your 
21 
work product. 
22 
MR. KUVIN: So let's mark this as exhibit 
23 
what are we up to, 4? 
24 
COURT REPORTER: 4. 
25 
0038 
1 
(Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 4 was marked for 
2 
identification.) 
3 
MR. KUVIN: Okay. All right. If we could, 
4 
just get a shot of that for me. 
5 
Okay, thank you. 
6 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
7 
Q. 
According to the incident report, in a room of 
8 
your home --
9 
MR. PIKE: What page are you on, Counsel? 
10 
MR. KUVIN: Page 44. 
11 
MR. PIKE: What paragraph? 
12 
MR. KUVIN: Line 4. 
13 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
14 
Q. 
-- in a dresser armoire was located a bottle 
15 
of peach-flavored Joy Jelly, parenthetically a sexual 
16 
lubricant. 
17 
I have here something called Joy Jelly. I 
18 
even have peach. Do you know what that is? 
19 
MR. PIKE: Form objection, harassing. 
20 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Can you just clarify the 
21 
question as to where you got that? Did that come 
22 
from your home or from somewhere else, Mr. Kuvin? 
23 
MR. KUVIN: I don't think that's relevant. 
24 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Just curious as to what 
25 
you're -- you've made a big point to identify this, 
EFTA01158531
Page 11 / 66
0039 
1 
this exhibit, and show it to the camera. So if my 
2 
client is going to answer the question, I'd like to 
3 
know whether it came from your home or from --
4 
whether you bought it or where it came from just so 
5 
he can -- just so he can accurately answer the 
6 
question should he choose to want to answer it. 
7 
MR. KUVIN: Well, he can make the choice 
8 
whether he wants to answer it or not. 
9 
MR. GOLDBERGER: All right. 
10 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
11 
Q. 
Do you know what that is? 
12 
MR. PIKE: Form objection, improper 
13 
hypothetical. 
14 
THE WITNESS: I don't understand the question. 
15 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
16 
Q. 
Do you know what Exhibit 4 is? 
17 
A. 
You've just described it. I have no knowledge 
18 
but what you've just described. 
19 
Q. 
You don't know what that's used for? 
20 
MR. PIKE: Form objection, harassing. 
21 
THE WITNESS: I've heard what you said it's 
22 
used for. I've never seen it before. 
23 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
24 
Q. 
Do you know what that, right there, Exhibit 4, 
25 
this peach-flavored --
0040 
1 
A. 
You've asked me that question already. 
2 
Q. 
-- Joy Jelly, do you know what it's used for? 
3 
MR. PIKE: Asked and answered. 
4 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
5 
Q. 
Not this bottle, but Joy Jelly, do you know 
6 
what it's used for? 
7 
MR. PIKE: Same objection, harassing, asked 
8 
and answered. 
9 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
10 
Q. 
You can answer. 
11 
A. 
I've already told you. 
12 
Q. 
You still haven't answered the question. 
13 
MR. PIKE: Counsel, he answered the question. 
14 
It's been asked and answered twice. 
15 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Let's get a read-back on 
16 
this. 
17 
MR. KUVIN: Sure. I'd like to hear the 
18 
answer. 
19 
MR. GOLDBERGER: From the start of the line of 
20 
questioning. 
21 
COURT REPORTER: From the first time it was 
22 
asked? 
23 
MR. GOLDBERGER: Yes, please. 
24 
(A portion of the record was read by the 
25 
reporter.) 
0041 
1 
MR. GOLDBERGER: That's all I need to hear, 
2 
thanks. 
3 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
4 
Q. 
Do you know what Joy Jelly is used for? 
5 
A. 
I've heard what you've just described. I have 
6 
no independent knowledge. 
7 
Q. 
You've never used Joy Jelly? 
8 
A. 
I fully intend to respond to all relevant 
9 
questions regarding this lawsuit; however, at the

present time, my attorneys have counseled me I cannot

18 
lubricant that's used on sexual devices like vibrators 
19 
and anal jelly wands? 
20

THE WITNESS: I have no knowledge of that. 
22 
BY MR. KUVIN:

Okay. So despite the fact that you're reading

don't want to answer any questions about the written 
10 
statement; isn't that true?

BY MR. KUVIN: 
19 
Q. 
Or would you like to? 
20 
MR. PIKE: Same objection. Now we're getting 
21 
borderline harassing and argumentative. 
22 
I think you should move on to -- certainly you 
23 
didn't come here to be argumentative and harassing 
24 
all day, Mr. Kuvin, so I would hope that you would 
25 
move on to another topic.

wants. 
5 
Just ask for permission next time, if you want 
6 
to, because it is something that I gave to my

permission to do so, okay?

Somebody's marriage?

MR. GOLDBERGER: Uh-huh. Don't answer it. 
23

speaking objections, and we're going to limit 
4 
ourself to form and the appropriate objections 
5 
thereafter, which have been asserted. So there 
6 
does not need to be anything in the record. Should 
7 
you wish to file a motion, you can do so. 
8 
MR. KUVIN: Well, before I file such motion, I 
9 
think the rules also dictate that I can request an 
10 
explanation, which I'm doing.

afterwards in the form of another question, go 
ahead, but while he's answering the question, do

your question is, I want you to allow my client

23 
answers. If you want to interrupt while he's 
24 
asking -- while he's answering a question, I'm not

argumentative, you can do so, and the appropriate

objection will be entered.

5 
do not want you interfering while he is answering a 
6 
question, that's it, okay? I just want you to act 
7 
ethically, honorably and fair. 
8
