Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1332-7 Filed 01/08/24 Page 12 of 29 Key Testimony Transcript Citation woman, so, you know, whatever Jeffrey wanted went through Ghislaine and then filtered through.) Ms. Ransome witnessed Epstein having sex with Marcinkova on his plane in plain view. Maxwell and Epstein used promises to assist Ms. Ransome in getting into FIT and paying for her in return for being Epstein’s sex slave. Maxwell bullied the girls if they didn’t comply with Epstein’s sexual demands. Ransome Dep. Tr. at 121-123 (Q. Describe for me what happened on the plane ride? A. Nadia walked in, sat down in front of me, Nataly. We all buckled up, we took off. The rest of the passengers in the -- I think it’s towards the front of the plane where all the seats are -- we all -- all the guests were -- fell asleep. I pretended to be asleep. Jeffrey then went -- Jeffrey went to his -- was in his bed on the plane, having open sex with Nadia for everyone to see, on display. ***Q. What types of sexual relationship did Jeffrey and Nadia have on the plane in your presence? A. Well, Nadia was straddling Jeffrey for quite some time. I watched them both ejaculate with each other. They were having quite a good time together.) Ransome Dep. Tr. at 234-235 (Q. Did you apply for any financial aid for FIT? A. No. Jeffrey was covering FIT. Q. That’s what Jeffrey told you? A. Multiple, multiple times. Q. Did Ghislaine Maxwell say anything to you with regards to FIT? A. It was various conversations. It was known among everyone that I was going to FIT, and Jeffrey -- everyone knew he was helping me to get into FIT. It was common knowledge. Q. You described earlier that Ghislaine was helping review your application and your essay. Was there something else that she was doing to help you? A. Well, she said she would, but whether she did, I have no idea. She said she would. Whether she made calls, I doubt, because I didn’t end up at FIT. So...) Ransome Dep. Tr. at 332 (A. Well, the fact that she used to personally call me herself to give Jeffrey sexual massages. Not body massages; sexual massages. It should be rephrased. I mean, it was pretty obvious. I mean, the whole weight thing. I tried to swim off the island. I tried to escape from an island during the evening to try and escape from her because if I didn’t lose weight, they would cut me out of their -- financially off. I would lose the place that I was staying at. I would lose my education. You name it. They bullied me with everything, just like they did with the other girls.) Ransome Dep. Tr. at 333-334 (Q. ... What was the threat that was made to you by Maxwell? A. The fact that I would lose everything that they promised me. They -- they were really naughty. You know, they took girls from very underprivileged families. They gave them accommodation, they gave them food, gave them money for transportation, you know, private planes, etcetera, etcetera. So if I didn’t have sex with Jeffrey, I would be homeless and starving in New York, so -- and my dream of getting a full- time education at one of the top fashion institutes in the world would be diminished. And that’s what he held over my head, exactly like he did with and the other girls. He was paying for all of their educations. Q. How do you know that? A. Because they were telling me. It was common knowledge amongst all the girls. No other girl would be there 8
