He told that 19 would get her phone number. 20 says that she performed 21 massages for Mr. Epstein. we have with 22 approximately a hundred phone calls between 23 and 24 when I interviewed 25 when we got to the sexual massages that she did for three to four she became very upset OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE EFTA00224057 19 1 Mr. Epstein. At this point, this is as much as we know 2 at this point of what occurred with Mr. Epstein and 3 4 She did three to four massages and those last 5 massages they became more sexual in nature, he asked her 6 again to remove her clothing, this time she took her 7 shirt off, he asked her to take her bra off, she said 8 no. 9 He again would touch her breasts, he would 10 touch her butt, he did continue to masturbate, this time 11 she believes he ejaculated. He continued to compliment 12 her, tell her she had a nice body and that she was 13 pretty. 14 says that he was very nice and engaged 15 her in conversation, asked her, you know, if she had a 16 boyfriend. In the last massage she discusses with me, 17 and this massage Mr. Epstein told her to stop being shy 18 and asked her to take her clothes off and said 19 that she had a boyfriend and she didn't feel comfortable 20 taking her clothes off and he told her you should know 21 what to expect by now when you come here, and he jerked 22 on her pants as to like jerk them down, so she did on 23 this last massage get down to her bra and underwear. 24 she describes his tone at this time being 25 frustrated and irritated, she stayed in her bra and OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE I EFTA00224058 20 9 10 Q Now, Special Agent 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 A Yes. 19 20 21 types of offenses? 22 23 24 25 rapport is built? 1 underwear, but during the massage he grabbed her bra and 2 pulled it down and fondled her breasts, he had 3 instructed her to pinch his chest, his nipples while she 4 was massaging his chest, he tried to grab her all over, 5 he knew that she was upset with this massage. 6 At one point Mr. Epstein asked her if she had 7 sex with her boyfriend, informs him that she is 8 still a virgin and he responds what, you don't like sex? And that's pretty much the way that last massage went. just to interrupt you, you mentioned that Jane Doe number 4 became very upset as you were asking her about the massages, correct? A Yes. Q And when she was describing this incident with him grabbing at her breast and trying to pull her pants down and instructing her to remove her pants, correct? Q You had talked last week about the expert that you had spoken with about interviewing victims of these OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE ( A Right. Q And you had told us about how a victim may be reticent at first to tell the entire story until a EFTA00224059 21 1 A Right. 2 Q Can you tell the Grand Jury your impressions 3 of your interview with 4 A She became so visibly upset, and a lot of the 5 girls are embarrassed of what took place, but when she 6 talked about the last massage and him grabbing her 7 breasts and fondling her breasts she was in tears and we 8 stopped the massage and we calmed her down, trying to go 9 back there was just too difficult, I could not get her 10 back to discussing anything further that had taken 11 place. 12 I have since then -- I have since talked to 13 again and I feel there is more there, but I just 14 don't think she is ready to disclose what took place. 15 Q So based upon the more than 60 telephone calls 16 as well as -- 17 A Approximately a hundred. 18 Q -- 100 telephone calls and your conversations 19 with you think there is probably more than four 20 massages that happened? 21 A Yes, I do. 22 Q was there anything else that you wanted to 23 discuss with the Grand Jury? 24 A Just, as I stated in the beginning of those 25 massages, they engaged in conversation and throughout OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE EFTA00224060 22 1 that conversation, you know, she did inform Mr. Epstein 2 that she was a junior in high school and again she is 3 one of the girls that talks about being Mr. 4 Epstein's favorite, so because Mr. Epstein knew they 5 were friends they would engage in conversation about 6 and would mention they were in the same 7 classes at school and they would discuss the friendship 8 they had between the two girls with mr.
