Edwards adv. Epstein Telephone interview with Virginia Roberts Page 7 of 23 JS: Just for the record, neither Brad, nor I, nor anyone representing that they have anything to do with us has made any promises to you. Is that correct? V: That is correct. I’ll tell you, since this is our first conversation, that nobody has made me feel like I’ve been bribed or bought or had to say anything. I’ve told you anything that I know from my own self, not some things somebody told me. If anything, Brad’s been extra careful not to tell me anything and let me do all the talking, so it’s quite opposite I think. JS: Alright. Let’s get back then to the story of your relationship with Jeffrey, and we’ve talked about your first encounter with him and how it evolved from that into your full time employment with Jeffrey, but what were you doing at Mar-a-Lago before you quit Mar-a-Lago? V: I was just a locker room attendant and sometimes I did babysitting for the rich and famous. So, I wasn’t anything big. I worked in the spa area. That’s why I was studying anatomy, because I was really really interested in becoming a_massage therapist_, and at the locker room, I didn’t do much. I mean I was making tea for a living, I would, you know, make sure the toilet paper had a little triangle in it after everybody went to the toilet, or wipe down the water from the basin, you know, it was a very easy peasy job. JS: Did you get that job through your Dad? V: Yes, my Dad got me the job. JS: Ok, and you were only 15 years old at the time, were they aware of how old you were at Mar-a-Lago? V: Of course, definitely. We had to go through extensive, you know, we even had to get drug tested and id test and so on and so forth. I mean, Mantas (?) is very strict on employment, yeah, everybody knew. JS: | Ok. Was there ever any conversation with Ghislaine about how old you were before you were taken to Jeffrey’s mansion? V: No. She didn’t ask me how old I was from the start, but when I did get to Jeffrey’s mansion, it was discussed how old I was. JS: With whom? V: During the entire hour of what I call the legitimate massage I was giving him, it was cat and mouse games getting information from me to find out who I am, am I a willing participant in these kind of things, and how would I react if they were about to take the next step. But they got information off of me, they got my age, they got my, a little bit of my history so they knew I was, you know, not very stable at home, and they knew that, HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015562
