10 wal £2 I 14 is 16 ne 18 LS 20 21, 22 23 24 25 Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1325-18 Filed 01/04/24 Page 17 of 23 G1ETGIUA My client issued a general denial in 2011 saying that the allegations were untrue. At that time, plaintiff said that, although she had been in contact with the likes of Prince Andrew in London and Bill Clinton and other famous people, there was no suggestion that those people had engaged in any kind of improper sexual contact with her. Fast forward a few years. Some other women who claimed they were victims of Mr. Epstein's abuse filed a lawsuit in Florida and they asked the court to undo a plea agreement that had been entered into by the U.S. attorney's office down in Florida or that the U.S. attorney's office somehow worked with the state authorities in crafting, and those two other women, not plaintiff, litigated for I think seven years now whether or not they should have been informed earlier about whatever plea agreement was going to go on with Mr. Epstein. Well, December 30 of 2015, plaintiff filed a motion to join that Victims' Rights Act litigation, and in her motion to join the Victims' Rights Act litigation she filed a declaration, in which, as I understand it thirdhand based on the judge down there's order, she claimed to have been involved in sexual relations with Prince Andrew, with world leaders, a former prime minister of some country or other, Mr. Alan Dershowitz. She made a number of spurious allegations, and one of them involved my client, Ms. Maxwell. SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300
