Case 18-2868, Document 280, 08/09/2019, 2628232, Page16 of 74 3. It is an undisputed fact that Rinaldo Rizzo testified that Defendant took the passport of a 15-year-old Swedish girl and threatened her when she refused to have sex with Epstein. Rinaldo Rizzo was the house manager for one of Defendant’s close friends, Eva Dubin. Mr. Rizzo testified - through tears — how, while working at Dubin’s house, he observed Defendant bring a 15 year old Swedish girl to Dubin’s house. In distress, the 15 year old girl tearfully explained to him that Defendant tried to force her to have sex with Epstein through threats and stealing her passport: Q. How old was this girl? A. 15 years old. RK Q. Describe for me what the girl looked like, including her demeanor and anything else you remember about her when she walks into the kitchen. A. Very attractive, beautiful young girl. Makeup, very put together, casual dress. But she seemed to be upset, maybe distraught, and she was shaking, and as she sat down, she sat down and sat in the stool exactly the way the girls that I mentioned to you sat at Jeffrey’s house, with no expression and with their head down. But we could tell that she was very nervous. Q. What do you mean by distraught and shaking, what do you mean by that? A. Shaking, I mean literally quivering. RK Q. What did she say? A. She proceeds to tell my wife and I that, and this is not -- this is blurting out, not a conversation like I’m having a casual conversation. That quickly, I was on an island, I was on the island and there was Ghislaine, there was Sarah, she said they asked me for sex, I said no. And she is just rambling, and I’m like what, and she said -- I asked her, I said what? And she says yes, I was on the island, I don’t know how I got from the island to here. Last afternoon or in the afternoon I was on the island and now I’m here. And I said do you have a -- this is not making any sense to me, and I said this is nuts, do you have a passport, do you have a phone? And she says no, and she says Ghislaine took my passport. And I said what, and she says Sarah took her passport and her phone and gave it to Ghislaine Maxwell, and at that point she said that she was threatened. And I said threatened, she says yes, I was threatened by Ghislaine not to discuss this. And I’m just shocked. So the conversation, and she is just rambling on and on, again, like I said, how she got here, she doesn’t know how she got here. Again, I asked her, did you contact your parents and she says no. At that point, she says I’m not supposed to talk about this. I said, but I said: How did you get here. I don’t understand. We were totally lost for words. And she said that before she got there, she was threatened again by Jeffrey and Ghislaine not to talk about what I had mentioned earlier, about -- again, the word she used was sex. Q. And during this time that you’re saying she is rambling, is her demeanor continues to be what you described it?
