Hello
My name is Adam Langino and I

represent■
I'll have fewer questions than the rest

of everybody, since I'm going next in line. But one of
15
the things I wanted to ask you --
16
MR. CRITTON: Before you get started, let me
17
just put on my objection.
18
Adam, your client i.
who alleges that
19
she was at Mr. Epstein's house sometime, I think,
20
on one occasion in the summer of '03.
21
This witness is neither relevant, nor
22
material, nor can it lead to the admissibility of
23
any relevant information regarding my client. So I
24
understand -- so you certainly can notice him, but
25
I'll move to strike all of the questions and

At one point you said that you're not -- this

8
Q.
Did you keep up with Mr. Epstein's -- keep
9
informed of Mr. Epstein's criminal case while it was in
10
the paper?
11
A.
Only what was on tv. What it was on tv,
12
that's how I found out.
13
Q.
How do you feel about Mr. Epstein today?
14
A.
I feel bad, sincerely I feel bad, because he
15
was -- with me, with my family, with my wife, he was a
16
very generous guy, extremely -- I don't know what the
17
word is in English -- but he would press for perfection.

I mean, and that was a very stressful job. But,

2
from a police officer. I think it wab
from the
3
Palm Beach Police Department.
4
And -- and I got scared. And I was trying to
5
find out what it's all about. Because it was an
6
occasion with Mr. Epstein that we had a disagreement.
7
We settled that. Everything was well and we went our
8
friendly ways and never heard from him again.
9
And I received this from the police department
10
that we need to talk to you. And, so, I got scared.
11
And I called the office in New York.
12
I says, I would like to speak to Mr. Epstein.
13
And he come on, and I said, I told him, I
14
says, Jeffrey, what's going on? What's happening? I
15
thought it was related to the problem that I had
16
personally with him settled.
17
And I says -- no, he says. And he says to me,
18
it's nothing to do with that, has nothing to
19
do with it. I've been
I don't know if he told me I
20
been sued or I been -- it's a problem with me, they're
21
investigating something and I cannot talk to you. That
22
was the end. And that's it.

How did you feel about Mr. Epstein being loyal

to you as an employee for him by not getting you into

further trouble with the police?

5
THE WITNESS: I feel that it was part of a

extra work. And I was more or less says, hey,
8
you did it for me, I do it for you. And that
9
was it. And we end up as friends. We did not
10
break it apart.
11
BY MR. LANGINO:
12
Q.
As you sit here today, do you have a sense of
13
personal loyalty to Mr. Epstein?
14
A.
No. No. Matter of fact, that iot has left me
15
a lot of sequels, psychological problems. It was
16
extremely damaging to my marriage. Right after I left
17
we broke lir. with my wife. I walk away. I left my
18
house. I left my family. I end up with a woman that
19
she need the money and that's why I went in there and
2C
got the money.
21
And that's what I think you wanted to hear.
22
And I want to end it there.
23
I have no -- nothing -- I think my stay there,
24
in reflecting the job, I was not paid well enough for
25
what we did. And too late now.

department, when I call Jeffrey and I ask him, what's
16
going on?
17
He says, I cannot talk to you. Somebody will
18
talk to
you.
19
And then I got a call from this guy that I
20
cannot recall his name now. Talked to me and we met at
211
Carabbas. And we talked -- what? -- about 15 minutes.
22
And he asked me questions just like you guys are asking
23
me and I says exactly the same answers.
24
And he says, well, there's an investigation
25
against Jeffrey. You has nothing to do with it. You

18
lawyers were taking my money by pipeline.
19
Q.
And what is her name?
20
A.
And we decide not to divorce and we still

CROSS EXAMINATION
5
BY MR. MERMELSTEIN:
6
Q.
Good afternoon,
7
8
A.
Yes, sir.
Q.
My name is Stuart Mermelstein. I represent a
9
group of the Plaintiffs in these cases and I have some
10
questions for you as well.
11
Your wife,
does she live at the same
12
address as you now?
13
A.
Yes, she does.
14
Q.
Now, when you began working full time for
15
Mr. Epstein, I believe you said that was around 1991; is
16
that correct?
17
A.
Yes.
18
Q.
Was your wife, was she hired at the same time
19
as you?
20
A.
No. She was hired three years after.
21
Q.
And how did that come about that your wife was
22
hired?
23
A.
My wife was hired because we had a housekeeper
24
that she was doing the cleaning and she left. Then we
25
had another housekeeper, Polish girl, and she left.

And then by that time my kids went to college
and my wife was at home. And I suggest my wife to come
3
to work with me, to help me.
4
Q.
So you recommended to Mr. Epstein that he hire
5
your wife?
6
A.
Yes.
7
Q.
And he did?
8
A.
Yes, he did.
9
Q.
And what were her job duties there?
10
A.
Her only job duties were shopping, basically
11
the shopping, getting movie tickets, show tickets, buy
12
books, bring the food to Mrs. Epstein's -- Mr. Epstein's
13
mother, sometimes drive Mrs. Epstein to the doctors.
14
She was not involved -- and sometimes she did
15
some cleaning for me.
16
Q.
Did she live with you in the upstairs
17
apartment?
18
A.
Most of the nights we had an apartment right
19
across the bridge on Flagler that it was my -- my
20
property. And we had an apartment there.
21
So she went home. She didn't like to stay
22
there. But I had to stay there because my job starts
23
from 5:00 in the mornina to 10:00 at nicht
24
Q.
And did
eave her employment the same
25
time as you?

A.
Yes, we did at the same time.
2
Q.
You testified that you would come into the
3
bedroom and clean up after massages; is that correct?
4
A.
That's correct.
5
Q.
Did you -- were there occasions where you had
6
your wife help you with that?
7
A.
No. No.
8
Q.
Were there
did she have occasion to go into
9
the master bedroom?
10
A.
It was occasions before that she will help to
11
set up the tables once in a while, set up the oils and
12
the tables. But I will do the clean up after.
13
Q.
Is there a reason for that?
14
A.
I was more involved into the final appearance
15
of the house. And it was my responsibility to make sure
16
that every room was perfect after they left and before
17
they went to bed.
18
Q.
Was there anyone else who assigned your wife
19
work other than you?
20
A.
No. Ms. Maxwell, sometimes she would tell my
21
wife, go buy some stuff, go get this and go get that.
22
She was mostly -- my wife was mostly out of the house.
23
She was -- this house was Mr. Epstein would says, go get

5
Q.
Did Ms. Maxwell or Mr. Epstein ever instruct
6
your wife to do housecleaning tasks?
7
A.
No. I was blamed for everything.
8
Q.
You were blamed for everything?
9
A.
I was blamed for the good and the bad.
10
Q.
Did you -- during the time your wife was
11
there, did you also have a hired housekeeper?
12
A.
We have a crew of housecleaners. We have a
13
crew of people that would come to the house and do a
14
serial -- I mean, deep cleaning, you know, to the house.
15
Q.
Was that every day?
16
A.
Once a week -- no, it was twice a week. It
17
was Tuesday and Fridays.
18
It depends on Mr. Epstein's schedule because
19
he didn't -- he didn't want nobody at the house while he
20
WAC At the house. So we have to rearrange days for the
21
clean-up crew to come in. And I usually did that. As
22
soon as they left I bring the cleaning crew, get the
23
house ready and -- and get set for them for the next

trip.

Then I will keep her in the kitchen and go to

immediately, if they were repeat girl% that are -- they

them, set the tables, and they will wait for him or her

Q.
So did you generally already know that they

were coming at the time that they knocked on the door?
20
A.
Yes, uh-huh.
21
Q.
So you had an appointment schedule?

Yeah. Because most of the times I was doing

A.
Why?
2
Q.
Yeah.
3
A.
Because I was sick. I was extremely sick. I
4
was bleeding, internally bleeding, and I was bleeding
5
from my butt and I have fistulas in my colon. And I was
6
sick of the job and we had enough. We had good pay, but
7
we had enough of the job, especially hPrAuse of
8
Ms. Maxwell's attitude towards us.
9
Q.
Now, you said you had good pay, but we had
10
enough. What was your pay in 2002?
11
A.
2002, right before I left? I think it was 50,
12
either 55, something like that. And my wife was 30 or
13
35. I could be wrong.
14
Q.
So you think that you were paid $55,000 in
15
2002?
16
A.
Uh-huh.
17
Q.
Is that correct?

A.
That's correct.

Q.
And you believe your wife was paid how much?

A.
Thirty, $30,000

$30,000 in 2002?
22
A.

I think you said at the very beginning --

A.
Yes.

Q.

9
when you were first hired full time?
10
A.
Yeah.
11
Q.
In 2002, you were earning 55,000?
12
A.
Uh-huh.
13
Q.
So you did get some raise?
14
A.
Yeah. In the matter of 11 years. Yeah, but
15
we didn't get a raise every six months or every year in
16
any specific date. And the raises were set by the
17
company. Automatically they would come from New York.
18
It was not a negotiate point between me and Mr. Epstein.
19
Q.
And then you said earlier with me, you said we
20
had enough, you and your wife. You said, we had enough;
21
is that correct?
22

correct -- on me. Everything was blamed on me. If a
2
chef cook a bad meal, it was my fault. And if the table

was not proper set royalty style, it was my fault. And
4
the hours were terrible, never have a holiday, Saturdays
5
and Sundays. We were working between 60 and 70 hours a

week. And my health was, I think, the most important

thing. And also the relation with my wife, it was a big

factor in us leaving the company.

Now, you said that you were blamed for things?

Yes, sir.

chase them out. I says, not in this house. You don't

do it. You go outside, put the towel and come in here.

No. No. I discuss it with Mr. Epstein when

I know
21

talk to him and says,
- I went with some faxes

that came to my office and they were people interviewing
4
for my job. So I feel very pissed about it.

And I went to his office and said, Jeffrey,

He says, well, that's Ghislaine. I'm not

That's it. We're done. And what you going to

And I says, give me at least a year's salary.
14
And that's what it turn out to be, around
15
$50,000, plus the van.

And he says, okay
ish you good luck
17
And the last day I was there we shake hands and we left.
18
But my relationship with him, it was good. It
19
was friendly. At the beginning of the -- my job was

very friendly. Then he changed when Ms. Maxwell come

in. I didn't like to work for her. She was a bitch.

it was not with Mr. Epstein.

reached an amicable agreement; you repaid him the monies

Q.
Is that a fair statement?

And I will have to add something to that.
11
When we talk at the luncheonette, we have coffee, he
12
says,
if you were not my best employee that I ever
13
have and that you would not take care of my mother, I
14
would have put you away. And that's the way he come out
15
to me.
16
And I says, I like you and let's -- just pay
17
me back in one or two weeks, because I send the money
18
back and it got lost. So he give me another -- not him,
19
but his lawyer says, you got another month to pay. So
20
between I got the money -- the money order was lost in
21
the mail. So I send it back. I pay everything, $6,310.

I think it was 6310. And that was it.

When -- you were -- you had an opportunity

that you gave to the State Attorney's Office on

Exhibit --
8
MR. CRITTON: What did we mark it as, 2?
9
THE WITNESS: At what page?
10
MR. WILLITS: Yes. It was 2.
11
MR. CRITTON: Thank you.

BY MR. CRITTON:

No, just statement, the whole statement.
14
You had an opportunity to look at it over
15
lunch?
16
A.
Yes.
17
Q.
And that's a statement you gave back on
18
November 21st of 2005?
19
A.
Uh-huh.
20
Q.
Is that correct?
21
A.
That's correct.
22
Q.
And at that time you were there with
23
Mr. Murrell, who was your attorney. And you gave a
24
statement and I think as well your wife spoke with the

asked of you at that time, I assume you fully answered;

Absolutely.

Q.
And then page 9 where Mr. Berger took you with
7
regard to the questions -- and before I get -- I'm going
8
to come back to page 9 in a minute.
9
But if I understood your earlier testimony in
10
response to one of the lawyers who asked you questions,
11
is, there were a number of European women, all who you
12
deemed to be 20-plus years old, that would travel with
13
Mr. Epstein to various places and as well would come to
14
the house from time to time?
15
A.
That's correct.
16
Q.
And I think you testified in response to
17
Mr. Berger's questions today, is that the only female
18
that you understood that came to the house during the
19
time that you were the house manager who you knew to be
20
under the age of 18 was N.B.?
21
A.
That's correct.
22
Q.
And you knew she was under 18 because you
23
would pick her up from high school?

That's correct.

giving any massages to Mr. Epstein?
5
A.
I don't think so, never.
6
Q.
And the times that you saw her, Mr. Epstein
7
was mentoring her on a career which ultimately turned
8
into her becoming an actress?
9
A.
I think so. Yeah, that was the main purpose.
10
Q.
And on multiple occasions when she would be
11
over, she would be over there at Mr. Epstein's home with
12
her mother; is that correct?
13
A.
Yes, that's correct.
14
Q.
And of the girls that came or the women that
15
came to give massages to Mr. Epstein over the years you

18
different massage therapists?

It could be less. I don't think it's more

than 200, but it could be less than 200, yes. It was

Q.
On the massage therapists that you saw at

Mr Epstein's house from 1992 up until the time you left

2
A.
No. We went to our apartment.
3
Q.
And then when he wasn't there, would you have
4
pretty more regular hours around the house?
5
A.
Pretty much. Pretty much, yeah. That was the
6
days that we had to have the cleaning crew, I still had
7
to go to the house and oversee the cleaning operation,
8
oversee the gardener because there was not, when they
9
were there the gardener weren't supposed to make noise,
10
so we have to take care of the pool, the chlorine and
11
all that stuff.
12
Q.
So you would still do your regular but you
13
could finish pretty much 9:00 to 5:00?
14
A.
Yes. That was much easier.
15
Q.
And when he was -- how often would he
16
generally be in Palm Beach?
17
A.
Too much.
18
Q.
All right. But if -- would he be here at
19
least a couple --
20
A.
I would says, at least three times a year -- a
21
month, three weeks a month, three weekends a month.
22
Usually they come in on a Thursday. Either they left a
23
Monday or Tuesday.
24
Q.
And then they go wherever else they were going
25
and then things would get back to more of a 9:00 to 5:00

Mr. Epstein?

Yeah. The last few months.
17
Q.
And that's the only time that you remember her
18
actually being there?
19
A.
Yeah.

Because you actually recall when she used to

With regard to

I don't think so. I don't know if it was
4
forced between them, but I never saw force. I never
5
saw -- I was there the first time Ms. Maxwell met her
6
immediately that she went into the spa, when she was
7
walking into the spa. And I was surprised to see that
8
afternoon she was at the house.

Did you ever see anyone forcing Ms. R. onto

Sorry. Let me find my place, here.

First of all, forgive me. I didn't mean to •

13
he lived on Santiago Street.

Yeah. Santiago Street in Royal Palm Beach.

21
You mentioned that your wife, I believe you
22
said that -- let me start over.
23
I believe you said one reason you wanted to

A.
Absolutely.
3
Q.
What kind of psychological problems?
4
A.
I say, psychological problems. I says,
5
marital problems. That would be a better answer it.
6
Because the stressful was on me. If there was a dust,
7
spot of dust, they never came to her. And she was able
8
to -- she was over involved with the cleaning crew, but
9
it was never from Mr. Epstein or Ms. Maxwell yell, they
10
will never go ao
ask, hey,
y this
11
doesn't look good.
12
And, so, I had all the blame. And the only
13
person I have to take it out was my wife, unfortunately.
14
And that was the worst mistake, to have my wife working

in there.

And you said: "Yes."
19
A.

20
Q.

21
would he have in one day?"
22
And I think you said earlier, maybe --
23
sometimes they'd have three a week?

A.
No. No. That was not the question.

Q.
And did that happen often?
5
A.
Very often. Or he had yoga in the morning or
6
in the afternoon it was a massage. I don't know that
7
again. When it was yoga, it was in the pool house.
8
When it was massage, it was upstairs. So I don't what
9
they did when closed doors, you know. But it was a

couple of these girls that were yoga experts and they
11
were massage therapists at the same time, so I don't

know. But there were -- many times there were two,

three massages a day.

Also, she had a massage just about every day.

Q.

A.

Many of the -- it's been a while. It was J.
2
It was D. It was R. It was so many, V., L. It was

so many names, that I think if you name -- if
4
you -- any girl's name, she's been there probably,

S., J., J.
6
It was also a young girl but she was not a
7
massage therapist. She came to the house as a

friend.
9
I talking about B. because I knew she was not
10
a massage therapist because she went to high school
11
and she was a singer, an opera singer and she was
12
brought to the house by her mother. So I knew they
13
had nothing to do with massages. They were friends
14
and they were going to the movie with her, dinner
15
with her. And she had -- I think she travelled
16
with her, too. They travel.
17
Q.
My only point is, that on page 9 you were
18
talking about the massage therapists. And you said that
19
you remember that there were a couple of young ones the
20
last year.

And, so, among the young massage therapists

that you might remember in the last year, would V. be

Q.

2
A.
Yeah.
3
Q.
You stated that Ms. Maxwell was very hard on
4
you and you got blamed for everything, and that you --
5
you liked the job and you liked Mr. Epstein, but you
6
didn't like working for Mrs. Maxwell?
7
A.
That's correct.
8
Q.
Can you tell me why, other than that she
9
blamed you for everything?
10
A.
She came from a very wealthy family and she
11
was -- just my opinion; I give my personal opinion --
12
that she was rotten spoiled and she tried to drive the
13
house like a palace and not a home.
14
I was -- I discussed it with her, many, many
15
times we have discussions. And sometimes I even refuse
16
to do her orders, knowing that I was going to be backed
17
up by Mr. Epstein or do the right thing, my thinking of
18
running the house should be. But we never had a good
19
relationship at all from the beginning, I don't think
20
so. But I was -- have to be her driver and she will go
21
and shop all over the malls and I will have to go behind
22
her, pay for it and bring the bags to the car.
23
Next day or the same day she will do shopping
24
and buy and
to this store and get it. It
25
was a lot of work. It was a lot that she created and

So I make a list from the telephone book and

we would go from one to the another one. I would wait
16
in the car and she goes in.
17
And sometime she took a couple minutes and
18
walk out with cards, business cards. And that -- she
19
did the recruiting.
20
21
was the end of it. I never did any recruiting and I
22
never really saw him doing it.
23
Q.
You really never saw?
24
A.
Never saw Mr. Epstein recruiting anybody.
25
MS. EZELL: All right. I have no other
all the main spas. And
Q.
And one of those things you also had to do
her was to take her to different spas?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And there she would recruit young women to
come and do massages?
A.
Because she was English. And she didn't know
the area too much as well as I knew. So she -- she
says,
ake a list of all the massage -- the spas
in the area from Jupiter to Boca Raton. And we went to
then we went to the schools for
all the massage parlors, and
And from then, she pick up the girls and that

8
A.
Okay. Before -- I am stuck on this question.
9
I don't know. I think it was Mr. Critton office. I
10

11
they left me a message that I must discuss
call Mr.

-- yeah. I had a message in my phone that to call

Mr. Critton because he would like to speak to me about

Jeffrey Epstein. That was the message.

situation was.

What do you mean, "how bad the situation was?"

How -- I guess how he got into this mess.

How Mr. Epstein got into this mess?
6
A.
(Nods head.)
7
Q.
Can you be more specific as to what you and
8
your wife said?
9
A.
No. It was just the publicity, you know, that
10
his name was on the -- on the magazines and the paper
11
and tv. And I thought that that would never happen.
12
Q.
And you and your wife felt bad for Mr. Epstein
13
because of that?
14
A.
You know, after you know somebody and he
15
becomes a friend of yours for ten years, I think you
16
feel bad, no matter how bad he has made. And I don't
17
know what he has done or what -- what the final results
18
of this will be. I still will feel bad about it, just
19
because the person that he was and how generous he was
20
with me and other people.

Q.
Just to be clear, other than Mr. Critton and
22
your wife, you haven't spoken to anyone else about the

No, sir.

I want to just clear up one thing,

Go to page 9.

BY MR. CRITTON:

Q.
It's Exhibit 2. This is the statement that
14
you gave to the State Attorney's Office on November 21st
15
of '05.
16
Mr. Berger asked you questions about the young
17
girl. Ms. Ezell just asked you some questions about
18
that.
19
So what I want to do is clarify, so that I
20
know what
so there's no confusion, at least in the
21
record.
22
On page 9, line 16, it says: "During the last
23
year when you were working with him, what do you mean
24
they looked young? Did they look like they were still
25
in high school?"

you want to waive the right to read it, tell the
