7 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
8 
Q. 
Do you have a fetish where you like young 
9 
women to pinch your nipples? 
10 
A. 
I'm going to respond to that the same way I've 
11 
responded to most of your other questions here today, 
12 
which is, I intend to respond to all relevant questions 
13 
regarding this lawsuit; however, at the present time, my 
14 
attorneys have counseled me I cannot provide answers to 
15 
any questions relevant to this lawsuit. I must accept 
16 
their advice or risk losing my 6th Amendment right to 
17 
effective representation. Accordingly, I assert my 
18 
federal constitutional rights as guaranteed by the 5th, 
19 
6th and 14th Amendment to the United States 
20 
Constitution. 
21 
MR. PIKE: And I assume, Mr. Kuvin, you will 
22 
provide me with the number on the roll that 
23 
you're -- that you pretty much marked as an exhibit 
24 
here, where it starts numerically and where it ends 
25 
numerically so I can pull it and we can have an 
0161 
1 
exhibit made for purposes of this deposition. 
2 
MR. KUVIN: Oh, I don't intend to attach it as 
3 
an exhibit to this deposition. 
4 
MR. PIKE: Well, what were the -- where did it 
5 
start and where did it begin on the roll? 
6 
MR. KUVIN: I don't know. It's a clip that I 
7 
pulled from the master video. I can get it for you 
8 
though. I can certainly identify it in the 
9 
transcript. 
10 
MR. PIKE: So you'll provide that to me? 
11 
MR. KUVIN: Yeah, I'll find a place in the 
12 
transcript for you, that's not a problem.

14 
Q. 
Do you like to have underaged girls massage 
15 
your legs, underaged being under the age of 18? 
16 
A. 
I'm going to respond to that question the same 
17 
way I've responded to most of your other questions here 
18 
today, which is, I intend to respond to all relevant 
19 
questions regarding this lawsuit; however, at the 
20 
present time, my attorneys have counseled me I cannot 
21 
provide answers to any questions relevant to this 
22 
lawsuit. I must accept their advice or risk losing my 
23 
6th Amendment right to effective representation. 
24 
Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights 
25 
as guaranteed by the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment to the 
0162 
1 
United States Constitution. 
2 
Q. 
Have you had underaged girls, which include 
3 
...., in 2004, 2005 and 2006, massage your chest while 
4 
they were naked? 
5 
A. 
I intend to respond to all relevant questions 
6 
to this lawsuit; however, at the present time, my 
7 
attorneys have counseled me I cannot provide answers to 
8 
any questions that may be relevant to this lawsuit. As 
9 
I've done with most of your questions here today, I must 
10 
accept their advice or risk losing my 6th Amendment 
11 
right to effective representation. Accordingly, I 
12 
assert my federal constitutional rights as guaranteed by 
13 
the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment to the United States 
14 
Constitution.

BY MR. KUVIN: 
7 
Q. 
Did you pay 
$200 to come to your home in 
8 
2005? 
9 
MR. PIKE: Form. 
10 
MR. KUVIN: I'm sorry, what's the form 
11 
problem? 
12 
MR. PIKE: I don't need to provide you with a 
13 
speaking objection. The rules are the rules. 
14 
You've clearly stated to me today that you don't 
15 
want speaking objections, and I've abided by that; 
16 
therefore, the objection is form. 
17 
MR. KUVIN: I'm just asking for a 
18 
clarification so I can correct the question if I 
19 
need to. 
20 
MR. PIKE: Ask your question again, Mr. Kuvin. 
21 
MR. KUVIN: Can you read it back for me? 
22 
Thank you.

Q. 
Does Mr. Wexner know of your sexual preference 
underaged girls, girls under the age of 17? 
MR. PIKE: Form, argumentative, harassing, 
assumes facts not in evidence. 
THE WITNESS: I'm going to have to answer that 
the same way I've answered most of your questions 
here today, which is, I intend to respond to all 
relevant questions regarding this lawsuit; however, 
at the present time, my attorneys have counseled me 
I cannot provide answers to any questions that may 
be relevant to the lawsuit. I must accept their 
question in the same way I've responded to most of 
your other questions here today, which is, I intend 
to respond to all relevant questions regarding this 
lawsuit; however, at the present time, my attorneys 
have counseled me I cannot provide answers to any 
questions that may be relevant to this lawsuit. I 
must accept their advice or risk losing my 6th 
Amendment right to effective representation. 
Accordingly, I must assert my federal 
constitutional rights as guaranteed by the 5th, 6th 
and 14th Amendment to the United States 
Constitution. 
MR. PIKE: Same objection. 
MR. KUVIN: 
Q. 
You knew III. was 15 years old when she came 
your home, didn't you? 
MR. PIKE: Form. 
THE WITNESS: I'm going to respond to that 
question the same way I've responded to most of 
your other questions here today, which is, I intend

have counseled me I cannot provide answers to any
