Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1320-2 Filed 01/03/24 Page 2 of 10
Yet during her deposition, Defendant refused to answer any questions that she construed
as having something to do with “consensual adult sex.”” Defense counsel supported that position
that “frankly, [that’s] none of your business and I instruct the witness not to answer.” See
Declaration of Sigrid S. McCawley (“McCawley Decl.”’) at Exhibit 1, Tr. of Maxwell Depo.
(Apr. 22, 2016) at 21, The result was that at a number of points throughout her deposition,
Defendant refused to answer questions about subjects integral to this lawsuit, including questions
about what the alleged “massage therapists” were doing at Jeffrey Epstein’s house and the sexual
nature of those massages.
For example, Defendant refused to answer questions about whether she had given Jeffrey
Epstein a massage:
Q. Have you ever given Jeffrey Epstein a massage?
MR. PAGLIUCA: Object to the form, foundation. And I'm going to

be, as you've termed it, sexual trafficking of Ms. Roberts.
To the extent you are asking for information relating to any consensual
adult interaction between my client and Mr. Epstein, /'’m going to instruct her not
to answer because it's not part of this litigation and it is her private confidential
information, not subject to this deposition.
MS. McCAWLEY: You can instruct her not to answer. That is your
right. But I will bring her back for another deposition because it is part of the
subject matter of this litigation so she should be answering these questions. This

questions.
MR. PAGLIUCA:; | disagree and you understand the bounds that I put on
MS. McCAWLEY: No, I don't. I will continue to ask my questions and
you can continue to make your objections.
Q. Did you ever participate from the time period of 1992 to 2009, did
you ever participate in a massage with Jeffrey Epstein and another female?
MR. PAGLIUCA: Objection. Do not answer that question. Again, to the
extent you are asking for some sort of illegal activity as you've construed in
