KUVIN: You can probably turn the volume 9 down; it won't effect her mic, I would imagine. 10 MR. GOLDBERGER: Good idea. Okay. 11 BY MR. KUVIN: 12 Q. Mr. Epstein, is your date of birth, 13 14 A. Yes. 15 Q. Race is White? 16 A. Yes. 17 Q. You are male? 18 A. Yes. 19 Q. Hair is gray? 20 A. Yes. 21 Q. Eyes are blue? 22 A. Yes. 23 Q. Height is 6-foot tall? 24 A. Correct. 25 Q.

Page 4 / 66
1 A. Correct. 2 Q. Mr. Epstein, on January 30th of 2008, isn't it 3 true that you pled guilty to procuring a person under 4 the age of 18 for prostitution? 5 A. No. 6 Q. You did not plead guilty? 7 A. You asked me -- do you want to repeat it? 8 Q. Did you plead guilty to procuring a person 9 under the age of 18 for prostitution? 10 A. On what date? 11 Q. Regardless of the date, did you plead guilty 12 to procuring a person under the age of 18 for 13 prostitution? 14 MR. GOLDBERGER: Do you need to take a break? 15 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, 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 0026 1 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.) 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 BY 22 23 24 25 0033 1 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
Page 9 / 66
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.
