Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE Document 700 Filed 07/12/22 Page3of6 This evening the Government showed Government Exhibit 52 to a different employee of Epstein and the defendant’s, Juan Alessi. Alessi worked for Epstein at his Palm Beach house from approximately 1990 until approximately 2002. Alessi has explained that, during his employment, he observed a contact book with a dark blue or black cover, which cover was blank, and with many entries printed in black ink on white paper. See 3504-046. The book was bound, and Alessi was instructed to put identical copies of it on Epstein and the defendant’s desks and elsewhere around the Palm Beach house.” During the course of his employment for Epstein Alessi reviewed multiple versions of the book: the book was replaced annually with new versions, and the old versions are destroyed. Alessi observed both the defendant and Epstein use the contact book. When the Government showed Alessi Government Exhibit 52 tonight, Alessi recognized it as a copy of the contact book he had previously described. See 3504-047. Alessi identified the book by the cover, binding, formatting, and variation in the entries. Alessi also reviewed the entries inside the book and identified numerous entries as containing contact information for individuals that he specifically recalls being included in the copies of the books he remembers seeing in Palm Beach. That includes the entry for the witness testifying as “Jane,” see GX 52-F, and the entry for Florida masseuses—including some of the individuals on that list, see GX 52-G. Although this version of the contact book post-dates his employment with Epstein, Alessi was able to determine that fact in part by noticing that his own contact information had been removed from the book.? ? Alessi also explained that there were two similar-looking books, one for Epstein and one for the defendant. 3 Alessi generally recalls the book being thicker and featuring a larger font size. Notwithstanding that recollection, he believes this is a copy of the contact book based on the foregoing. 3 DOJ-OGR-00011176
