shake your head, but the court reporter can't take
10
it down so just something verbal.

If I ask a question you don't understand,
13
tell me you don't understand.

time as to the relationship between Ghislaine
22

A.
I don't know what kind of business but she was
2
the one who organized I would say employment with this
3
organization. So, whatever I need, if I have some kind
4
of problem, I contact her. She was the one who decided
5
what I have to answer my problems with, what I was
6
supposed to do.
7
Q.
How many times did you have problems where
8
you had to go through her?
9
A.
Well, not big problems. Just a question of
10
what certain, how to do certain things. For example,
11
what kind of flowers I have to buy, what kind of things
12
he likes, what time I supposed to serve him coffee in
13
the mornings, sort of organizing things.
14
Q.
Those are things that you wouldn't ask
15
Jeffrey Epstein directly?
16
A.
No, no. He doesn't like those things to ask
17
him directly. He would like to prefer either through
18
his assistant or like I say, Ghislaine Maxwell.
19
Q.
Is that still the same today?
20
A.
Yes, still the same. Unless, something happen
21
that I need to, nobody is around and I need to urgently
22
contact him, I go to him directly.
23
Q.
So, for the most part if you have a
24

25
had a question about what needed to be done in the

house, day-to-day stuff, you would ask Ghislaine
2
Maxwell?
3
A.
Right.
4
Q.
And would she normally, back in 2005, be
5
at the house in Palm Beach for you to ask her or
6
would you have to call her in New York?
7
A.
To the phone up in New York. She was visiting
8
the house but most of the time I spoke with her on the
9
phone.
10
Q.
Okay. Let's talk specifically about that
11
year in 2005. How often would Ghislaine Maxwell be
12
at the Palm Beach house when Jeffrey Epstein was at
13
the Palm Beach house?
14
A.
I would say about once a month since I started
15
work.
16
Q.
All right. Well, it was a bad question
17
because I understand that Mr. Epstein has several
18
homes, right?
19
A.
Right.
20
Q.
And he is sometimes in New Mexico or New
21
York or Florida or the Island or somewhere, right?
22
A.
Right.
23
Q.
So, I guess the first question is in 2005,
24
how often was Jeffrey Epstein at the Palm Beach
25
house on a weekly basis?

A.
Probably like two, three times a month.
2
Q.
And when he would come to the Palm Beach
3
house two or three times a month, how long would he
4
stay typically?
5
6
A.
Three days, sometimes two, sometimes four,
depends, you know, but it was no regular -- but no more
7
than four days I would say.
8
Q.
Okay. And of those two or three trips to
9
Palm Beach, are you telling me that Ghislaine
10
Maxwell would usually come for one of them per
11
month?
12
A.
Not usually, sometimes. Not every time but
13
sometimes they, she comes.
14
Q.
Okay. But at that point in time in 2005
15
you understood that Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey
16
Epstein were business partners?
17
A.
Right.
18
Q.
Did you know at the time what Jeffrey
19
Epstein did for a living?
20
A.
Yes. He was one, I overheard invest money
21
with other people.
22
Q.
Okay. Who told you that or who did you
23
overhear?
24
A.
I think I read in the paper or something.
25
Nobody --

6
Q.
Did you understand in 2005 that Ghislaine
7
Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein had an intimate

relationship with one another?

A.
No.
10
Q.
You only believed them to have a business
11
relationship?
12
A.
Right.
13
Q.
Okay. And when Ghislaine Maxwell would

come to Florida, what did you or what did you

20
Q.
What was a typical day for Jeffrey Epstein
21
and Ghislaine Maxwell when she was in town at the
22
same time he was in town.
23
A.
I would say that they have breakfast in the
24
morning. They spend time reading, talking on the phone,
25
meeting people, go to the movies sometimes. They did

Q.
Did you know at that time what Ghislaine

Maxwell did for a living?
6
A.
No.
7
Q.
Do you know today even what she did?
8
A.
No.
9
Q.
No. Back in 2005 to your knowledge, did
10
Jeffrey Epstein have a girlfriend or female
11
companion that was more than just a business partner
12
to your knowledge?
13
A.
No, I didn't know.
14
Q.
And for the most part I am going to try to
15
go chronological from 2005 to the present, but for
16
this question for that entire period of time that
17
you have known Jeffrey Epstein, 2005 through today,
18
have you ever known Jeffrey Epstein to have somebody
19
who you would observe to be a female companion or
20
girlfriend?
21
A.
Yes.
22
Q.
Okay.
When is the
23
first time that you believe you recognized
24
as a girlfriend to Jeffrey Epstein?

year was it, he told us that
will take some part
2
of the organization, organizing, scheduling. And she
3
would decide, you know, which way household supposed to
4
work, and if you have any questions or problems, we
5
could contact her. So, since then I figure out that
6
she's the person who, who is close to him.
7
Q.
When did he tell you that?
8
A.
I don't remember. Maybe a year ago, two years
9
ago.
10
Q.
Okay. Well, if we could put it in --
11
obviously at this point in time Jeffrey Epstein is
12
on house arrest, right?
13
A.
(Witness nods head).
14
Q.
I'm sorry. It has to be verbal so she
15
could take it down.
16
A.
Yes.
17
Q.
And prior to that, he was serving a jail
18
sentence, right?
19
A.
Right.
20
Q.
Okay. I am only bringing this up to put
21
it in context as to when this -- when you realized
22
or were told information that led you to believe
23
was Jeffrey Epstein's girlfriend.
24
Was it while he was on house arrest, while he was in
25
jail, before that, after that?

A.
I think before, before house arrest, yes. I
2
mean house arrest, jail sentence.
3
Q.
Before the jail sentence?
4
A.
Right.
5
Q.
So, I can tell you the jail sentence at
6
least the plea was June 30th, 2008. So, you believe
7
it was sometime prior to that date when you learned
8
that
was the girlfriend of Jeffrey
9
Epstein?
10
A.
Correct.
11
Q.
Okay. And when I asked you what gave you
12
that belief, you started to tell me that the
13
conversation was actually Jeffrey Epstein telling
14
you that
would be more in charge of
15
what happened around the house, the scheduling, and
16
things like that, right?
17
A.
Correct.
18
Q.
But that's similar to how Ghislaine
19
Maxwell's role was described before, right? And
20
that's not somebody that you considered a
21
girlfriend. So how do you distinguish
and
22
Ghislaine's role?
23
MR. GOLDBERGER: Form.

spent some times together, more time together

and they travel together very often.
2
BY MR. EDWARDS:
3
Q.
you're talking about?
4
A.
Right. And
, and she was visiting very
5
often so I assume, you know, that there is some kind of
6
relationship between them.
7
Q.
Okay. And when you say they are spending
8
time together, do you mean they are spending time
9
upstairs in the bedroom together, things like that
10
that would give you an idea?
11
A.
No. I mean traveling together. They always
12
shop together when he was here. And when they go to
13
other places, she was with him too.
14
Q.
Okay. Was
already
15
somebody that had a relationship with Jeffrey
16
Epstein in February of 2005 when you first started
17
working?
18
A.
No. I don't think so. I don't remember her
19
when I do the job. I don't remember her.
20
Q.
So, you think -- I am sorry?
21
A.
I don't remember the, 2005 when I started job,
22
I don't remember her being around at least a few months.
23
Q.
Okay.
24
A.
So, I recognize her and I met her probably
25
after a few months working for him.

So, you think that the first time that you

saw

7

but at least a few months.
9
Q.
And when you were introduced to her, do
10
you remember where it was?

Probably -- I don't know. Here I guess she

was.

At the house?

A.
No, I don't.
19
Q.
The time when you met
did
20
it appear to you that Jeffrey Epstein was meeting
21
her at the same time or he already knew her?
22
A.
I assume he knew her. She was here in the
23
house in Palm Beach. I assumed he knew her.
24
Q.
Okay. It didn't seem like a brand new

guest?

2
Q.
Okay. But at that point in time -- well,
3
let me ask you; I don't want to put words in your
4
mouth. The time in April or May or around that area
5
in 2005 when you think is the first time that you
6
saw
at the Palm Beach house, what
7
was your understanding of her role in Jeffrey
8
Epstein's life at that time?
9
A.
I suppose one of his friends.
10
Q.
Just a friend?
11
A.
Right.
12
Q.
Have you since 2005 through the present
13
seen any interaction between
and Mr. Epstein
14
that would give you further reason to believe they
15
are boyfriend and girlfriend or a couple?
16
A.
Yeah. I saw him walking with her, you know,
17
holding her hand. I mean her hands, so I assume that
18
there is more than friendship between them.
19
Q.
Okay. And when you came in 2005, did you
20
live at the house in Palm Beach?
21
A.
Yes. There is a small house attached to the
22
main house. They call it staff house where I live.
23
Q.
Okay. And is that the place where you
24
have resided since you began working in February
25
2005 through the present?

were coming for massage. And most of the time

I opened the door for them and let them in.
3
BY MR. EDWARDS:
4
Q.
All right. Well, the civil aspect of
5
these cases has been going on for almost a year and
6
a half, almost two years. And prior to that you're
7
aware that there was a criminal investigation into
8
the same activity, right?
9
A.
Yes.
10
Q.
And through this discovery process,
11
information and belief leads us to an understanding
12
that these young females were coming to the house in
13
Palm Beach every day that Jeffrey Epstein was
14
staying at the house; is that fair to say?
15
MR. GOLDBERGER: Form.
16
THE WITNESS: I wouldn't say every day.
17
They come very often but not every day. Maybe
18
like if he was staying four days, probably like
19
two, maybe three days.
20
BY MR. EDWARDS:
21
Q.
Okay. So, sometimes you remember there
22
being days where these young females I am describing
23
did not come to the house or at least you didn't see
24
them?

Right.

these were young females that were coming over for

Yes.

10
Q.
Who told you that?
11
A.
Who told me that?
Jeffrey Epstein's
12
assistant.
13
Q.
Okay. Were you told prior to you coming
14
down here in February 2005 that there would be these
15
young females coming over to the house very
16
frequently to give massages?

A.
No.

MR. GOLDBERGER: Form.
19
THE WITNESS: No.
20
BY MR. EDWARDS:
21
Q.
Okay. So, when you first started working,

you were not forewarned that these females would be
23
coming to the house?

A.
No.

All right. When was it -- did

you -- tell me exactly what it was that
told
2
you so that I can use your own words to formulate
3
questions. What was it that
told you about
4
these girls coming over for massages?
5
MR. GOLDBERGER: Form.
6
THE WITNESS: Either she told me or she
7
called me and let me know that, for example,
8
certain time this woman, she mentioned name,
9
will come over, so I should let her in. That
10
was the procedure I followed.
11
BY MR. EDWARDS:
12
Q.
Okay. So, just so that I understand what
13
you are saying, are you saying that the conversation
14
or the words that were spoken to you would be, did
15
she call you Janusz?
16
A.
Janusz, right.
17
Q.
Janusz,
is coming over today at
18
9:00. Let her in. She's coming for a massage?

A.
Correct.

BY MR. EDWARDS:

Q.
Okay. Please, if that's -- if she said
23
something different to you such as, hey, there is a

massage therapist coming over, then tell me. I am
25
just trying to get it accurate.

coming over to the house to give a massage; let her
4
in?
5
6
A.
Correct.
Q •
Okay. How soon after your first day on
7
the job did you get this call from
telling you
8
that some female's name would be coming over for the
9
purpose of providing a massage?
10
A.
Maybe on the third or fourth day of my work.
11
I don't remember exactly how much.
12
Q.
That was some day when Jeffrey had flown
13
into town and he was there?
14
A.
Yes.
15
Q.
Do you think that you were told by
16
that one of these young females would be
17
arriving to the house to provide a massage prior to
18
the first time you observed one of these young
19
females coming to the house to provide a massage?
20
Do you understand the question?
21
A.
No, not really.
22
Q.
Okay. What I'm asking is were you at the
23
house one day and a girl knocks on the door, hey,
24
I'm here to give you a massage and you go I don't
25
even know why, I don't know who you are; or did

No, no.

BY MR. EDWARDS:
4
Q.
I don't expect you to remember all of the
5
names. To me that's not important for today's

purposes. Is it fair to say that oftentimes there
7
would be a massage in the morning by one of these
8
females and a massage in the afternoon the same day?
9
A.
Yes.
10
MR. GOLDBERGER: Form.
11
BY MR. EDWARDS:
12
Q.
In fact, you know, you're not the first
13
witness who has testified as to what goes on in the
14
house. So is it, is my understanding correct that
15
there was a specific appointment set and a time set
16
for these girls to come over and that
17
would keep that appointment book?
18
MR. GOLDBERGER: Form.

THE WITNESS: I don't know if she kept

appointment, but most, I mean, almost -- yeah,
21
all the time I, I knew who is coming so --
22
BY MR. EDWARDS:
23
Q.
And you said you knew the time?

A.
Yes. Maybe it was like 50 minutes delay or
25
they show up late, but I knew because I have to let them

in. So, it has to be, you know, some kind of
2
announcement that they are here.
3
Q.
Was it always
telling you the name
4
of the person and the time that that person would be
5
coming over for a massage?
6
A.
Yes, most of the time
7
Q.
Okay.
8
A.
I think there was another name,
9
Q.
10
A.
She also contact me when she has been hired.
11
Q.
When you say contacted you, that implies
12
that you're not in the same house when she's telling
13
you what time this person is coming over?
14
A.
Yeah. I mean, if I have nothing to do in the
15
main house, I have an office in the staff house where I
16
sit over there and I do some paperwork. So, either they
17
call me on the phone or come in and tell me
18
face-to-face.
19
Q.
So, when
and would call, when
20
you're telling me that
or
would call
21
you and tell you who was coming over and what time
22
that person was set to come over, you're, you're
23
saying that that call would be made from the main
24
house to the staff house or it would either be made
25
in person depending on whatever it was?

or any of the other

ones, their routine from the time that they come to

instance, somebody that you remember coming to the
door, can you tell me in your own words what you
observed from the time she arrived at the house
until the time that she left.
MR. GOLDBERGER: Form.
MR. EDWARDS: And just so the record is
7
clear, let's -- you've already been told by
8
, III. is coming this time and then
9
she arrives at the door. So tell me what
10
happens from there.
11
MR. GOLDBERGER: Form.
12
THE WITNESS: Yeah. I hear the doorbell.
13
I went out. She introduce herself. I let her
14
into the kitchen. I offer her something to
15
drink and she sit in the kitchen and I left to
16
do some other stuff. And let her, let
17
know that she's there.
18
BY MR. EDWARDS:
19
Q.
Okay.
20
A.
And sometimes I don't even, you know, notice
21
when they are leaving because, you know, the girls open
22
the door and just left.
23
Q.
So, you were usually the person to greet
24
them but not always the person to walk them out?
25
A.

a better --
5
A.
Right.
6
Q.
And then, you know, at some point in time,
7
you had a chance to observe what
did with one
8
or more of these girls in terms of where she took
9
them for the message and things like that, right?
10
A.
Right.
11
Q.
So, tell me what would
then do?
12
Let's use III. for instance. She comes in. You
13
offer her something to eat or drink. And then you
14
say, all right
, III. is here. What happens
15
after that?
16
A.
She took her to, to the bedroom upstairs and
17
that's it.
18
Q.

Jeffrey Epstein was in the bedroom upstairs?

upstairs?

I didn't see that at the time of them, but

going a couple of times I folded massage table and put

in there in the closet.

Q.
You have been up to Mr. Epstein's bedroom?
9
A.
Yes.
10
Q.
I've been in the house recently but I
11
don't know if the house looks today like it looked
12
back in 2005. In fact, I'm led to believe that it's
13
changed somewhat?
14
A.
Yes.
15
Q.
Before we continue on with the typical
16
massage experience with the young females and
17
Mr. Epstein, I want you to tell me since 2005, since
18
you began working there, how, what changes have been
19
made to the interior of the house?
20
MR. GOLDBERGER: Form.
21
THE WITNESS: There is a new addition to
22
the kitchen. It's like a breakfast table. The
23
living room is different. It's bigger. They
24
knocked down a few walls over there.

Mr. Epstein's bedroom was changed?

Yes.

In what way?
11
A.
The ceiling was different.
12
Q.
How?
13
A.
They somehow -- the different shape. There
14
was a flat one and they somehow, the designer figured
15
out how to make different ceiling. You know, it's not a
16
flat. It's sort of like I would say a rectangle.
17
Q.
Okay.
18
A.
And the room leading to the master bedroom is
19
also ceiling reconstruct.

It's not a flat. It's like a -- the one room

leading to the master bedroom.

Swimming pool is bigger. The cabana has been

A wall on the south side of the property?

During the reconstruction of the house at the

same time, and I guess that's it.

Q.

these young females would come for the purposes of

giving massages, would they -- typically they would

go to the back door near the kitchen, right?

that back door and then you take a left and you're

in the kitchen?

A.
Right.

Q.
And then there on your right-hand side as
5
you walk in the kitchen, there are several what

appear to be closets but one of them is a stairwell,
7
right?

Back in 2005 was there -- did that

stairwell still have a door you opened and you go up

the stairs?

Yes.

Q.
That hasn't changed?

me I guess that it curves a little bit to the left

as you walk up the stairs.

And then at the top there is another door.

Q.
And have you known Mr. Epstein to receive

a massage since the search warrant was executed on

his house?
6
A.
No, I don't remember.
7
Q.
You don't remember or it hasn't happened?
8
A.
I don't remember. Well, he, he didn't visit

the house, I guess, after search warrant.
10
Q.
Okay. After the search warrant was
11
executed, where did he go, Mr. Epstein?
12
A.
I think he spent time in New York.
13
Q.
Okay.
14
A.
I don't remember visiting him. Maybe once.
15
Q.
Okay. So, then is it also your testimony
16
that not only was the visiting from the young
17
females ended at the point in time of the search
18
warrant, but Mr. Epstein, after the search warrant
19
was executed, he didn't stay at the house until he
20
was out of his office jail sentence and on house
21
arrest?
22
MR. GOLDBERGER: Form.
23
THE WITNESS: I mean after this the house
24
has been under renovation, so there was nothing

going on.

from the search warrant being executed to the point

observe him?

And I'm sorry.

A.
No.
4
Q.
I understood you when you shook your head.
5
A.
I realize what you told me but I am sorry.
6
Q.
I told you it was easy to forget.
7
Do you remember who it was that personally
8
removed the computers and equipment from the
9
property? Was it Mr. Epstein, was it a lawyer, was
10
it, do you remember?
11
A.
It was
12
Q.
All right. And I am of the understanding
13
that there were several computers that were removed
14
from the house, correct?
15
MR. GOLDBERGER: Form.

THE WITNESS: Yes, three of them.

Three? And to your knowledge

removed all of them?

She show up one day with gentleman. I don't

remember his name. And she told me that they are moving
22
out those computers.
23
Q.
And where were the computers? Which rooms

were the computers in that were removed by

A.
One was in cabana. One, the other second one
2
was in living room and one was in small office next to
3
the kitchen.
4
Q.
All right. In your time at the house
5
prior to that, is it fair to say those computers had
6
never been removed before?
7
A.
I remember that there was to bring some new
8
ones to replace them at some point. I don't know
9
remember exactly if it was for upgrading, but they
10
change computers very often I would say.
11
Q.
All right. But the computers -- the
12
removal by
and this individual, that wasn't
13
done -- we're talking about a different -- that's
14
not a time where they were replacing computers.
15
This was just removing computers from the house?
16
A.
Yes.
17
Q.
And did you receive any explanation as to
18
why the computers were being removed from the house?
19
A.
No.
20
Q.
Did you ever have occasion to use any of
21
the three computers that were removed from the
22
house?
23
A.
No. I never, I never, you know, touch them,
24
never use them. I have my own computer in my office, so
25
I use this computer.

Q.
Is your computer in your office
2
A.
Yes.
3
Q.
Let me finish. Is the computer in your
4
office linked up with the three computers that were
5
removed from the house? Meaning, can you look at
6
the system and see what is on those three computers?
7
A.
No, no.
8
Q.
Is it your understanding that those three
9
computers are linked with one another or do you
10
know?
11
A.
I don't know, but I, I doubt it. They are
12
separate I guess.
13
Q.
Okay. Were you aware that Mr. Epstein
14
used a Citrix program to link various computers?
15
Did you know that?
16
A.
Yeah. I use Citrix too in my computer fox
17
exchanging e-mails and get through Internet.
18
Q.
Okay. So, is it your understanding that
19
the only connection then through Citrix with these
20
computers, these various computers that were in
21
Mr. Epstein's home, was for e-mail purposes?
22
A.
Yes.
23
Q.
Okay. To your knowledge, you're not
24
familiar with those computers sharing other files or
25
information?

Q•
That's not something that you were, you
were privy to? You weren't, you weren't in the loop
of the sharing of information in the house in terms
of the computers being connected through any server?
A.
I don't really know what, how, how to answer
7
your question because Citrix is for the whole
8
organization to exchange e-mail between employees.
9
Q.
All right. You used the term?
10
A.
So, even my computer is connected to Citrix.
11
I can receive mail and I can e-mail information to
12
employee within organization. But I don't know if you
13
can see to each computer what is going on on another
14
computer.
15
Q.
You don't know about --
16
A.
Is that your question?
17
Q.
You don't know about shared files?
18
A.
No.
19
Q.
You only know that the one computer can
20
e-mail the other?
21
A.
Right.
22
Q.
But that can happen with any two computers
23
in the world pretty much. You can send e-mails to
24
each other, right.
25
A.
Yes.

We'll go back to that but I tell you why I

the course of Mr. Epstein's -- you're aware that he
6
did plead guilty to a couple felonies in state

court, right?
8
A.
Right.
9
Q.
Well, in the course of the negotiation
10
with the federal government and the U.S. Attorney's
11
Office, they, the agreement between Mr. Epstein and
12
the U.S. Attorney's office mentions people that are
13
called co-conspirators of Epstein. And Leslie Groff
14
is named as one of those co-conspirators.

about it, right?

I said even if Jeffrey Epstein arriving at the

house, I always know what time and which day he would be
22
here or another person, so I would be aware of what was
23
going on and I would be prepared.

Nothing. The only thing that had been removed
21
is when the police got with the search warrant. They
22
removed a lot of stuff. But when
showed up with

search warrant was executed in October of 2005,

October 20th, 2005, when in that period of time were

the computers removed from the home by
and
4
this gentleman? And by that I don't mean the exact

No, I don't.
7
Q.
A week before the search warrant, two
8
months before, a week, you know, whatever you're --

A.
I would say maybe month or two months. I
10
really don't recall exactly but a couple of months,
11
maybe one month before search warrant.
12
Q.

recollection it could have been sometime early in

October. It could have been September. It could

have even been, as you're remembering it, as far

removed from the home, were any computers -- no

computers were put in its place, right?

No.

During -- when you first started working

there, did you know that there were surveillance

cameras inside the home?

No, I was not aware.

A.
Yes.

And it's really your job to find out?

Right.

Q.
You work for Mr. Epstein and that's your
15
boss, and he pays you and that's all you know?
16
A.

them.

A.
I forget the name.

Q.
And they taped that statement, right, the

A.
Tape?
9
Q.
Didn't they tape the statement?
10
A.
You mean videotape?
11

No. I think it was a recorder.
12
A.
Yeah. I think somebody was taking notes like
13

14
Q.
You think that?
15
A.
They were taping.

Q.
Okay. At some point in time I believe

that I've read somewhere that there was taped

interview or statement of you. I could be wrong. I
19
have read too much of this case, but, to your --
20
A.
I guess they have some kind of record, I

correctly when Mr. Epstein was in town, there would

be a set appointment for let's say III and maybe in
4
the afternoon there might be one for
or there
5
may only be one that day or on some occasions as you
6
have said there may be no young females coming to
7
the house that day, right?
8
A.
Right.
9
Q.
All right. After the search warrant was
10
executed for the most part, well, after the search
11
warrant was executed, Mr. Epstein spent his time
12
somewhere else, most likely in New York?
13
A.
Right.
14
Q.
And then he came back down to Florida at
15
some point in time. He went over to the courthouse
16
and he pled guilty to certain felonies that were
17
charged against him. And then he went to jail and
18
you didn't see him at the house anymore?
19
A.
Yes.
20
Q.
And then for some period of time now, six
21
or seven months or so, he has been on house arrest
22
and so you see him in West Palm Beach?

A.
Yes.

not stay at the house in Palm Beach, to stay

Yes.

No.

Q.
And what was your understanding then of --
12
well, strike that. Ghislaine Maxwell was somebody
13
that visited Mr. Epstein, I think if he was in town
14
three times a month, she would be in town with him
15
one time a month, paraphrasing your testimony, but
16
that was something that continued from the time you
17
first became employed through the search warrant
18
being executed on the home, right?
19
A.
Right.
20
Q.
Is that somebody, that being Ghislaine

Maxwell, somebody that you have seen at the house

since Mr. Epstein has been back at 358 Albrillo Way

Mr. Epstein still talk with one another?

Yes.
8
Q.
And do they?
9
A.
Yes.
10
Q.
How frequently, if you know?
11
A.
I don't know. She calls maybe twice asking
12
him if he is in the house.
13
Q.
Why? Do you know why she calls?

A.
No.

6
Mr. Epstein retained Mr. Goldberger for you?

everything, you know, schedule whose flying to

New York, pick him up from, bring him to the

even staying in the house.

But what does she do for him on the other

days when he's not traveling to and from New York?

I don't know.

Q.
Okay.
21
A.
To tell you the truth, I don't know.

Q.
One of the things that she did back in
23
2005 was she scheduled his massage appointments with
24
these young females who would come to the house,

Never heard of them?
2
A.
No.
3
Q.
All right. During the year 2005, what
4
other visitors do you remember frequenting the house
5
when Mr. Epstein was in town aside from
6
Ghislaine Maxwell,
yourself? Who
7
else do you remember being there?
8
A.
I don't remember.
9
Q.
All right. Do you know the magician David

No.

Never?

A.
No, never.
16
Q.
Okay. Have you seen him at the house?
17
Not just in 2005 that we're focusing on the previous
18
question, have you ever seen him at the time house?
19
A.
No.
20
Q.
No. Okay. Back in 2005, how about the
21
attorney Alan Dershowitz, do you remember seeing him
22
at the house?
23
A.
Yes.
24
Q.
And how many occasions do you believe you

A.
Maybe twice.
2
Q.
And on the two occasions are we talking
3
about he stayed for three days each time, or you
4
only saw him on two days if you remember?
5
A.
I think it was either a couple or three days.
6
I don't remember exactly.
7
Q.
Okay. So, he may have come in town two
8
times and stayed two days each time; is that what
9
you are saying?
10
A.
Correct.
11
Q.
Okay. And where would he stay when he was
12
at Jeffrey Epstein's house, what room?
13
A.
I don't remember which room. It had like a
14
four additional bedrooms.
15
Q.
Okay. And what would, you know, on the
16
occasions when Mr. Dershowitz was in the house and a
17
young female would come over to give Mr. Epstein a
18
massage, if you know, let's say the process I am
19
assuming is the same as you told us before, you
20
greet them at the door, you're told the person is
21
coming, you greet them at the door, you bring them
22
in, you let
know the person is there. And
23
what then did you observe or where in the house
24
would Mr. Dershowitz stay while Mr. Epstein was
25
getting this massage?

THE WITNESS: I don't remember having him

and either young girls at the same time at the

house. I don't recall. I don't remember.
5
BY MR. EDWARDS:
6
Q.
Okay. Fair enough. I think I presupposed
7
something that may not have been accurate. So, to
8
your recollection the two to four days that you
9
remember Mr. Dershowitz being at the house, you
10
can't say with any degree of certainty that these
11
young females were also at the house?
12
A.
Yeah. Right.
13
Q.
Okay. Do you remember there ever being an
14
occasion where there was some other person, aside
15
from the people that we all know regularly are at
16
Mr. Epstein's house that we have named a few times,
17
do you ever remember any other people being inside
18
the house when these young females or a young female
19
would be at the house to give Mr. Epstein a massage?
20
A.
No.
21
Q.
Okay. So, to the best of your
22
recollection any time that these young females were
23
at the house, it was a time when Mr. Epstein and
24
other members of the organization, as you referred
25
to it, were in the house only?

department in part because of the criminal

pretty strict schedule?

kitchen?
6
A.
Right.
7
Q.
Also near a telephone?
8
A.
Yes.
9
Q.
And you've taken those messages down when
10
some of these young females would call, right?
11
A.
Anybody, yes.
12
Q.
Yeah. But you know, I realize a lot of
13
people probably call Mr. Epstein.
14
A.
Right.
15
Q.
For the purposes of this case, I am not
16
all that interested in all the messages he gets. I
17
really want to go focus on the message he gets from
18
someone like
Or III
.
Or
or somebody that
19
you recognize as being one of these young females
20
reportedly coming over to give him a massage. Okay?

4
BY MR. EDWARDS:
5
Q.
Okay. You don't remember any messages
6
like that?
7
A.
No.
8
Q.
Do you remember ever there being a
9
circumstance where somebody called and said I have
10
girls for him or I have a friend that would like to
11
come over and see him?
12
A.
No.
13
Q.
All right. If you had taken down any of
14
those messages, that may have been alarming to you
15
or told you that, hey, there is something going on
16
here that may not necessarily be perfectly legal?
17
A.
I don't know how, you know, how to --
18
Q.
That's just not something you ever saw,
19
right?
20
A.
Never saw it.
21
Q.
Okay. When the police came into the house
22
to execute the search warrant, where were the
23
message pads?
24
A.
In the same places as I recall because they,
25
they usually be around the phone. So, I assume they

Q.
You don't remember the message pads being
3
removed from the property prior to the police
4
arriving to execute the search warrant?
5
A.
No.
6
Q.
So, it's your belief that the police
7
obtained or confiscated the message pads at the time
8
they executed the search warrant?
9
A.
Yes.
10
Q.
Do you know that to be a fact?
11
A.
No.
12
Q.
You're just going based on they were

always there; we didn't know the police were coming;
14
the police came, and they confiscated a bunch of

stuff and if the message pads were there, they
16
confiscated the message pads?
17
A.
Yes.
18
Q.
Just logical reasoning?
19
A.
Right.
20
Q.
Did the police ever question you about the
21
messages that were taken down on this message pad

from these young females that were at the house to

give Mr. Epstein a massage?

BY MR. EDWARDS:

Q.
And some of the messages you took down?
6
A.
Yes.

Q.
So, some of the times these young females
8
would call and you would be the one to answer the
9
phone?
10
A.
Yes.
11
Q.
And what do you remember these young
12
females saying to you as their purpose for calling?
13
A.
As I recall, a couple of them that they call
14
that they cannot show up at a certain time and they have
15
to do something else. So this was the messages I
16
remember I wrote down on those messages.

That he

with the underage girls, right?

your opinion is. Never mind. Not that I don't care
11
about your opinion, it just doesn't matter a whole
12
lot with respect to the case.
13
In terms of the accumulation of these
14
young females who were coming to the house, you were
15
told that they were coming only for a massage,
16
right?
17
A.
Right.
18
Q.
And at some point in time you learned that
19
there was a lot more going on than a massage, but

you don't think that Mr. Epstein knew that they were

underage?

MR. GOLDBERGER: Form.

didn't learn anything before; after.

years old or 16 years old or in high school or

things like that?

A.
No.

Q.
Okay. Since him pleading guilty and going
17
to jail and things of that nature, have you thought
18
back on what was happening back in 2005 and tried in

your own mind to figure out where he met these
20
girls, how he was getting them to his house, who
21
they were working for, things of that nature, or is

that something that you just haven't bothered

thought that it was only massages going on, so it
3
wasn't really alarming you no matter what?

Right.

understand why they were there and what they were
16
doing?

A.
Yes.

Q.
Okay. And just to take that one step

further, did you then try to figure out where did

they come from, how did he know them, how was he

getting them over to his house, things like that?

you drove?

perform?

Yes. Either
or Ghislaine Maxwell, they

give me some point, what kinds of grocery, what kind of

food Jeffrey Epstein preferred, what kind of flowers he

likes. So, I was following instruction from them for a

Q.
And how much was that?
19
A.
I don't remember. The last one was $10,000.
20
Q.
Okay. So, your income for that year would
21
have been 72,000 if I am understanding?
22
A.
Yes.
23
Q.
Which would have been $62,000 salary and
24
$10,000 bonus, correct.

I don't recall if I pay somebody when she

pay, you know, after the massage. I give to her money.

Mr. Epstein was in the house and I got the phone call

that this girl show up and I should pay her money.

Okay.

So, I assume either she didn't get paid before

come to the house, given the massage, and then left.

kept it with me.
3
Q.
Okay. And you just give the receipt to
4
somebody so they know how much you took out?
5
A.
Right.

the bank in terms of cash to keep on hand?
8
A.
About $2,000.

Q.
All right. So, you would go to the bank.
10
Is $2,000 an amount that was told to you as an
11
appropriate amount to take out?
12
A.
I mean, it was my decision how much money I
13
need. But most of the time I withdraw $2,000 and
14
whatever I spend, I go and draw another one.
15
Q.
I understand that at some point in time
16
you realize that that was a decision that you could
17
make. But let's say the first time you go to the
18
bank, you don't just make the decision to take out
19
$2,000, do you? I mean, somebody gives you some
20
guidance?
21
A.
No.
22
Q.
Okay. They give you authority, they say
23
go to the bank and get out some money and you decide
24
on your own that $2,000 is an appropriate amount?

Yes.

Picked up from the airport, safe

25
(A discussion was held off the record.)
Yes.
All right. Did Mr. Brunel bring any
with him?
No.
It was him alone?
Yes.
How did he get to the house?
I think he has been picked up by Igor at this

2
Q.
So, do you know where it was that
3
Mr. Brunel flew in from?
4
A.
No.
5
Q.
Do you know where Mr. Brunel generally
6
lives? I mean is it New York, is it --
7
A.
I know that he spends some time in Florida, in
8
Miami, but exactly where he is, I don't know.
9
Q.
But obviously he wouldn't fly here to Palm
10
Beach from Miami, right, so he had to be coming from
11
somewhere else you would assume?
12
A.
Yes, I assume.
13
Q.
Were you told -- similar to the way that
14
you have been describing throughout the deposition,
15
you're told who is coming in town. Were you told he
16
was going to be at the house?
17
A.
Yeah. Usually he requires to be picked up, so
18
I know that he is coming.
19
Q.
Okay. We'll go through some other
20
instances where you had occasion to pick him up or
21
break plans, but talking specifically about last
22
week: When were you first told that Mr. Brunel was
23
going to be coming into town?
24
A.
I think Igor told me that he has to go and
25
pick him up.

Q.
How did he --
2
A.
It was my day off, I guess, because usually I
3
am the one who pick up people. So, I guess it was my
4
days off and Igor was working, so he went to pick him
5
6
up.
Q.
Okay. It wouldn't be
picking
7
him up?
8
A.
No.
9
Q.
So, to the best of your recollection Igor
10
picked up Jean Luc Brunel sometime last week from
11
the airport and took him to the house?
12
A.
Right.
13
Q.
Do you know what car he took to pick him

up?
15
A.
I think Cadillac Escalade.

The black Escalade?

BY MR. EDWARDS:
9
Q.
When you say he was cooking something, he

was personally cooking?

A.
Yes.

Q.
All right. So, this is a house that he is

familiar enough with and he is a regular enough

guest that he makes himself at home?
15
A.
Yes.
16
Q.
Okay. And last week do you remember
17
anything in the three-day period that Mr. Brunel was

staying at the house that Mr. Brunel did from the

time he woke up to the time that he went to sleep?

came in town to see Mr. Epstein; is that true?

A.
Yes.

Q.
And so the majority of his time during

that three days was spent hanging around with

Mr. Epstein?

I think he has some modeling agency, owner of

some modeling agency. I don't know exactly where, which
11
one.
12
Q.
Why do you think that? Why do you think
13
he is involved with a modeling agency?

Q.
Okay. That's fair enough. Who?
16
A.
I don't remember who.

Q.
Would it be
or Mr. Epstein?

And whether it was

told you about this was one of the people that you

A.
Yes.

definitely it was one person within the organization

9
Q.
And when I ask questions about your
10
knowledge based on your observations, I mean
11
obviously you've seen me talking with your attorney,
12
Jack Goldberger, today and you can tell that we've
13
talked at some point in time in the past, right;
14
that today isn't the first time we've ever talked to
15
one another.
16
And that's kind of what I am asking you
17
about this person III. Just based on your
18
observations and common sense, could you tell that
19
this person, III, knew Jean Luc Brunel before last
20
week?
21
A.
I don't think so.
22
Q.
Okay. How old would you estimate or
23
approximate this person III to be assuming you don't
24
know her age?
25
A.
I think in her 30's or late 20's.

All right. And where did she sleep while
12
she was in town?
13
A.
One of the guest rooms.

Q.
Based on your observations could you tell

if Mr. Epstein was romantically or intimately

involved with III?

A.
No.

Q.
Based on your observations could you tell
19
if Jean Luc Brunel was intimately involved with III?
20
A.
No.
21
Q.
No. You can't tell or, no, they were not?
22
A.
No, I cannot tell.
23
Q.
Okay. So, is there anything more that you
24
can tell me about what her possible purpose for
25
being in town or why she was there?

A.
No. She was a guest, I assume.
2
Q.
Any reason why there would be an overlap
3
between her staying at the house and Jean Luc
4
staying at the house, or it was just coincidence as
5
far as you could tell?
6
A.
I don't know.
7
Q.
Okay. And is there anywhere where you've
8
written down or documented what
last name is?

No.

Did you take her back to the airport?

A.
Yes.

Yesterday.

Yesterday. So, she was here four days.
16
She got here last Thursday or Friday?
17
A.
I think Friday.
18
Q.
And she was at the house for a period of
19
time when Jean Luc Brunel was at the house?
20
A.
Yeah. I mean, last week, yes.
21
Q.
Okay. So, she got there Friday. When did
22
Jean Luc Brunel finally leave Mr. Epstein's house?
23
A.
I think Monday, yeah, Monday. He left Monday.
24
Q.
That's yesterday?
25
A.
Or Sunday.

New York or Antartica, you have no idea?

A.
He was here -- I don't remember exactly, maybe
2
like a month, two months ago.
3
Q.
So, it's February 16th, right now. Do you
4
think that it was sometime in January of 2010?
5
A.
Could be.
6
Q.
All right. And would this be at the

beginning of January, the middle or the end of
8
January 2010, if you remember?
9
A.
No, I don't remember.
10
Q.
And did you pick him up from the airport
11
on that occasion?
12
A.
Yes, I think so.
13
Q.
All right. And what airport was that?
14
A.
I think it was Palm Beach Airport.
15

Do you know where he flew into that time?

No.

Commercial.
20

Does he always fly commercial when he

comes into town?
22

Yes, most of the time.

Have you ever known him to fly on one of

Jeffrey Epstein's airplanes?

New York.
2
Q.
Okay. And is it your understanding that
3
the modeling agency that he is associated with is a
4
modeling agency based out of New York?
5
A.
I don't know. New York or Miami. I'm not

sure.

Q.

agency that has an office in New York and Miami.

Yes.

Q.
How do you know that he spends a

considerable amount of time in Miami?

A.
I have no idea.

something? I mean, you had to know that from

No. On one occasion I know that he was going

Q.
Okay.
A.
But how long he stay in Miami, how long he
stays outside of Miami, I have no idea.
Q•
And when was that occasion where you know
6
that Jean Luc Brunel was in Miami or spending time
7
in Miami?
8
A.
I think at one point I drove him to Miami.
9
Q.
And when was that?
10
A.
I think the time he was here in this month of
11
January. I think I drove him back to Miami from, from
12
the Palm Beach, Palm Beach house.
13
Q.
Okay. So, that time in January he flies
14
into the Palm Beach airport from some undisclosed or
15
unknown location, you take him to the Palm Beach
16
house, right?
17
A.
Right.
18
Q.
How long does he stay on that occasion?
19
A.
Maybe three days.
20
Q.
And during that three-day period were any
21
other -- did any females accompany him to the Palm
22
Beach house?

A.
No. I don't remember. I don't recall.

Q.

one of his friends somewhere in Miami Beach, so I

dropped him over there and he pick up his car over

there.
12
Q.

Mercedes.

somewhere in Miami Beach.

on the side of the road, a house?

No. It was a private house.

Q.
All right. In talking about this person
5
Jean Luc Brunel, would -- you said he came here last
6
week. He came here in January. Stayed three or
7
four days each time, two consecutive months. Since
8
Mr. Epstein has been out on house arrest is Jean Luc
9
Brunel one of the people that visits on a monthly
10
basis?
11
A.
No.
12
Q.
Okay.
13
A.
There was no regular visit. It's just
14
occasionally I would say.
15
Q.
Okay. So, prior to the January visit,

when is the previous time that Jean Luc Brunel was
17
at Mr. Epstein's house?
18
A.
I don't remember. I don't remember.

Q.
Is he one of the people who frequently

calls Mr. Epstein?

A.
Yes.
22
Q.
And Mr. Epstein frequently calls him?

A.
I don't know.

the calls that come in and you take messages, right?

Q.
How times would you estimate -- I know you
3
told us two times in 2010. Let me ask it this way:
4
In 2010 were there only those two occasions where
5
6
Mr. Brunel was staying at Mr. Epstein's house in
Palm Beach?
7
A.
Yes, as far as I remember.
8
Q.
Okay. How many occasions, in addition to
9
those two, would you estimate that Mr. Brunel has
10
stayed at the Palm Beach house since Mr. Epstein has
11
been out on house arrest and also staying at that
12
house?
13
A.
It's hard to tell. I would say maybe three
14
times.
15
Q.
Three times in addition to the two times
16
this year, five times total?
17
A.
No, three times total.
18
Q.
Okay. So, one time this month, one time
19
last month, and then for the period of time from --
20
I don't remember when he was on house arrest, maybe
21
July. So from July to December you think that there
22
was only one other occasion when Mr. Brunel was at
23
the house?
24
A.
You know, it's hard to remember but I think
25
so. He was maybe totally three times for the last few

months. I don't really recall how many times.
2
Q.
Okay. Did Mr. Brunel ever stay at the
3
Palm Beach house while Mr. Epstein was in jail?
4
A.
No.
5
Q.
Did anybody stay at the house while
6
Mr. Epstein was in jail?
7
A.
No.
8
Q.
Including
or
9
A.
I mean, when he was in jail, the house wasn't
10
finished completely yet. So, there was no visitors.
11
The house was finished before he got released. So I, I
12
don't think, I don't recall that anybody was -- it was
13
impossible to have somebody, you know, stay in the
14
house.
15
Q.
Do you know when Mr. Brunel is going to
16
come back to the Palm Beach house?
17
A.
No.
18
Q.
You haven't been told?
19
A.
No.
20
Q.
All right. We've gone over a lot of
21
individuals that come to Mr. Epstein's house at
22
various times, and I think you have given me a
23
pretty good list. But from the time he was out on
24
house arrest, who else that we have not talked about
25
has stayed the night at Mr. Epstein's house?

2
was in jail nobody came to the house. So, let's

back up before that from the search warrant to him
4
going to jail, he was not at the house, Jeffrey

Epstein was not at the house, right?

So, we can back this time table up to you

beginning to work in February of 2005 through search

us ten or so months there.
11
In those ten months, how many times has
12
Jean Luc Brunel come to visit?
13
A.
I don't know. Maybe twice, once. He wasn't
14
very often visiting him.
15
Q.
You think he what?
16
A.
He wasn't very often visiting him.
17
Q.
Okay. And on those occasions was it

similar in that he would stay three or four days or
19
would he stay longer?

No, three or four days no longer.

And even back then in 2005, did you know

where he was coming from?

A.
Yeah. I think that was --
was there. I
3
think some other guests too, but I don't remember
4
Q.
What about the --
5
A.
-- who was there and how long they were
6
staying.
7
Q.
How about the young females that were
8
providing massages, did any of them ever provide a
9
massage to Mr. Brunel that you remember?
10
A.
No, I don't remember.
11
Q.
Okay. Is that something that you're
12
saying never happened or you just don't remember
13
whether it happened or it didn't?
14
A.
I just don't recall, you know, having those
15
massage girls coming and having him being in the house.
16
Q.
Okay. Well, we have gone, kind of gone
17
through the frequency with which these girls came.
18
And at least in terms of Mr. Epstein being at the
19
house, if he was there for four days then they would
20
come three days or relatively that's the ratio we've
21
talked about.
22
So, if Mr. Brunel was there for a period
23
of four days straight, you know, just given
24
Mr. Epstein's massage schedule, so to speak, does
25
that help to remind you or refresh your recollection

But if they came over, you don't remember

Right.

Q.

alcohol, obviously.

Yes.

I haven't seen him drinking either.

IN RE:
III. vs. Epstein
CASE NO.: 502008CA028051XXXXMB AB
Please take notice that on Tuesday, the 16th of
February, 2010, you gave your deposition in the
above-referred matter. At that time, you did not
waive signature. It is now necessary that you sign
your deposition.
As previously agreed to, the transcript will be
furnished to you through your counsel. Please read
11
the following instructions carefully:
At the end of the transcript you will find an
12
errata sheet. As you read your deposition, any
changes or corrections that you wish to make should
13
be noted on the errata sheet, citing page and line
number of said change. DO NOT write on the
14
transcript itself. Once you have read the
transcript and noted any changes, be sure to sign
15
and date the errata sheet and return these pages to
me.
16
If you do not read and sign the deposition
within a reasonable time, the original, which has
17
already been forwarded to the ordering attorney, may
be filed with the Clerk of the Court. If you wish
18
to waive your signature, sign your name in the blank
at the bottom of this letter and return it to us.
