Giuffre, Plaintiff, Case No.: 15-cv-07433-RWS v Ghislaine Maxwell, Defendant. AFFIDAVIT I, Sarah Ransome, swear and affirm as follows: 1. [am currently over the age of 18 and presently reside in the country of Spain. i In the summer of 2006, when I was twenty-two years old and living in New York, { was introduced to Jeffrey Epstein by a girl I had met named Natalya. Malyshov. Shortly after meeting Jefirey he invited me to fly to his private island in the US Virgin Islands, which I did. After that first trip I traveled to the island several more times, usually on one of Jeffrey’s private airplanes, and always at his direction. I am told that my name appears on the flight logs of one or more of those trips. On a few occasions, Jeffrey also arranged to have me flown to the island on commercial flights. As it tuned out, the primary purpose of those visits was to have me have sexual relations with Jeffrey, Nadia Macinkova, and various other girls and guests he brought to the island. 3. During one of my visits to the island J met Ghislaine Maxwell. Watching her interact with the other girls on the island, it became clear to me that she recruited all or many of them to the island. Once they were there, she appeared to be in charge of their activities, including what they did, who they did it with, and how they were supposed to stay in line. She assumed the same supervisory role with me as soon as J arrived. Some of the girls appeared to be 18 or older, but many appeared to be young teenagers. I recall seeing a particularly young, thin girl who looked well under 18 and recall asking her her age. I later learned was a ballerina. She refused to tell me or let me see her passport. 4, In addition to spending time with Jeffrey on his island, I spent time with him in New York City. At his town house I was also lent out by him to his friends and
