Case 18-2868, Document 279, 08/09/2019, 2628231, Page32 of 37 took her to Mr. Epstein’s bedroom; during the massage that woman gave instructions to plaintiff, and the massage “quickly developed into a sexual encounter.” Doc.542-1, Ex.A, at 4. A second allegation pertaining to plaintiff's entire story about Ms. Maxwell’s introduction of plaintiff to Prince Andrew is untrue. In the joinder motion, plaintiff alleged Ms. Maxwell served an “important . . . role” in “Epstein’s sexual abuse ring,” namely, connecting Mr. Epstein to “powerful individuals” who would sexually abuse plaintiff. Jd., Ex.D, at 5. Plaintiff alleged that in this role Ms. Maxwell introduced plaintiff to Prince Andrew, and she was “forced to have sexual relations with this Prince in three separate geographical locations,” including Ms. Maxwell’s London apartment. /d., Ex.D, at 5. These allegations directly contradicted her earlier allegations in the 2011 Churcher article that (a) there never was “any sexual contact between [plaintiff] and [Prince] Andrew,” and (b) Prince Andrew did not know “Epstein paid her to have sex with [Epstein’s] friends.” /d., Ex.A, at 6. Mr. Barden on behalf of Ms. Maxwell said in the first sentence that plaintiffs “allegations”—plural—against Ms. Maxwell are “untrue.” We have just established through plaintiff's own contradictory words that it would be fair to characterize at least two of her allegations to be untrue. Having spent significant time with Ms. Churcher in 2011 and having substantial incentive to disclose all important details of her “sex abuse” story, see Menninger Decl. EXHIBIT OO, plaintiff in 2011 presented a story that exculpated Ms. Maxwell and Prince Andrew of the very misconduct that in 2015—after securing a lawyer and seeing her story as a profit vehicle—she inculpated them for. In the face of her contradictory allegations, plaintiff cannot possibly prove by clear and convincing evidence that all her joinder-motion allegations are true, or that when Ms. Maxwell said they were untrue, she knew each one of the allegations was true or that she recklessly disregarded whether each one was true. 27
