A It took place at the end of April of this year, so just a few weeks ago. Q Who was present at that interview? Copy 1 of 13 EFTA00009554 Page 6 1 A Myself; my partner, agent ; the AUSA, 2 her attorney, Jim Eisenberg, and his 3 investigator; as well as 4 Q what did Miss tell you about Jeffrey 5 Epstein? 6 A She stated that she had met an individual by the 7 name of at a party who had asked her if she 8 wanted to make a few bucks by giving a man a massage. She 9 was told that Mr. Epstein preferred them to be topless, 10 and she agreed to go to his house to give him a massage. 11 Q How old did Miss tell you she was at that 12 time? 13 A She stated she was 16 when she first started 14 giving Mr. Epstein massages. 15 Q Based upon your review of the evidence, is that 16 correct? 17 A No. We have phone records where 18 (phonetic), Mr. Epstein's assistant, is contacting 19 on her cell phone, or using her cell phone to call 20 cell phone starting in April of 2004, which makes 21 15. 22 Q So she said that she was 16, but your evidence 23 shows that she was 15, and she said that she was told she 24 could make a few bucks giving a topless massage? 25 A Yes. EFTA00009555 Page 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Q What else did Miss MN tell you? A That she went to Mr. Epstein's residence, that took her there the first time, that when she went upstairs she was paid $200 when she first got there by Then she goes upstairs, and Mr. Epstein comes in, he disrobes, puts on a towel, lays down on the massage table and she begins to massage him. 8 9 She tells Epstein that she heard he likes topless massages, and he told her that he did. And she 10 said, 'who wouldn't?• And she ended up taking off her top 11 during the first massage. But is clear that Mr. 12 Epstein did not at any point touch her during the massage. 13 Q But does she admit that he 14 A Yes. On the second massage, Mr. Epstein asked 15 her to leave her phone number with . Her phone number 16 was left there. On the second massage, she returned the 17 very next day and gave him another massage. This time, 18 Mr. Epstein 19 Q Did Miss admit that 20 21 A Yes, . And I think her term was that 22 meaning that 23 Q How long of a period of time did Miss 24 tell you that she performed massages? 25 A She wasn't able to give us a number of massages, 'Mk EFTA00009556 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 8 but just said that it was a lot, and that she had been giving him massages for a year. Q You mentioned to the grand jury that Miss said that Mr. Epstein never touched her, correct? A Yes. Q And she was very adamant about that? A Yes, she was. Q Were there other things that she was adamant about in her interview with you? A Well, she talked about what she would tell the girls that -- and that she told Mr. Epstein that she was 18. I'm sorry, I take that back. She was told to say that she was 18, and she told us that she had a fake I.D. showing that she was 18. So she passed that information along to the other girls when she brought -- eventually she brought other girls to perform massages, and that was one of the things that she told -- she told us first that she brought 18- to 20-year old girls. And then she stated that if the girls lied, and they were underage, she told them that they needed to tell Epstein that they were 18. Q Have you been able to identify some of the girls that Miss brought to Mr. Epstein's home? A Yes. Q Were any of those girls over 18? EFTA00009557 Page 9 1 A No, not that we found so far. 2 3 what Mr. Epstein knew about their ages? 4 A I'm sorry, say that again. 5 0 Have any of the girls who came through 6 been interviewed about what Mr. Epstein knew about 7 their ages? 8 9 not sure if he asked them. They were all told to say they 10 were 18, but not on every occasion would Mr. Epstein 11 inquire about their age. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 under 18. 19 20 really the case? 21 22 23 it's clear. 24 25 to say she was 18, and she also told you that she had a Q Have any of the girls told investigators about A we did interview them regarding that, and I'm Q Do you want to check your records on that? A Yes, could I do that? • Yes, please do. A I can tell you that one of the girls that she brought -- this girl told Mr. Epstein that she was in high school, and actually told him her true age, which was Q So what told you about, that wasn't A No, that wasn't. Sorry. Q That's all right, I just wanted to make sure So Miss told you that she had been told Copy 1 of 13 EFTA00009558 Page 10 1 fake I.D.? 2 A Yes. 3 Q Did she ever say that Mr. Epstein either asked 4 for her age or asked to see her I.D.? 5 A No, the topic never came up. 6 Q Did you also ask her about how appointments were 7 made? 8 A Yes. She was very clear in the fact that 9 would call her to arrange the appointments, but 10 that would call her once Jeffrey was in town. 11 Q So she was adamant that the calls only happened 12 when she was already here? 13 A Yes. 14 Q. Were you made aware that Epstein's counsel was 15 informed that he was being investigated for traveling to 16 engage in prostitution, which means that the appointments 1/ would have been made before the traveling? 18 A Yes. 19 Q Was there anything else, besides the issue of 20 age and the issue of when the appointments were made, that 21 sounded coached or that she was especially adamant about? 22 A No, I wouldn't say coached. I mean, we talked 23 about the preferences that Jeffrey discussed, as far as 24 which girls he would like to bring. 25 Once started giving massages to Epstein, EFTA00009559 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 11 told us that he liked different faces, so he would ask her to bring other girls. We asked her if he ever gave any preferences of what he preferred, and her response was that Epstein liked girls like her, which is thin and blond and attractive. Q And how old was she at the time? A She was 15. Q So thin, blonde, attractive and -- A Young, girls like her. I guess we asked if she ever made a mistake, or ever brought somebody that Mr. Epstein didn't take to. She said that she had screwed up and that she had brought a black girl to Mr. Epstein, and that Epstein was not interested in black girls. But he did pay her, and said that he wasn't a racist. He paid her the $200 for her time, but did not want her to perform a massage for him. Q And he didn't allow that girl to perform a massage? A No. Was there anything else that Miss talked about in the interview that you want to share with the grand jury? A I did ask her at the end of the interview if she was in love with Mr. Epstein. She looked into the camera and said that she loved him like a friend. But then she Copyl of13 EFTA00009560 Page 12 1 kind of looked into the camera and gave a wink and a smile 2 and said, "But with your money, I'd marry you any time, 3 Jeffrey." 4 Q Did she also say that she considered him to be 5 an •awesome guy'? 6 A Several times she referred to him as an "awesome 7 guy° • She said that the girls begged her to come and that 8 the girls didn't have a complaint, and the girls would 9 share with her everything that happened after the massage, 10 11 12 and that Jeffrey never touched any of the girls. But as I informed you, we did interview some of the girls that she took, and he has touched them. 13 Q In preparation for your testimony today, did you 14 also speak with someone who is considered to be an expert 15 in these cases? 16 A YeS. 17 Q And what is that person's name? 18 A 19 Q Has Mr. been qualified to testify as an 20 expert in federal and state courts in cases that involve 21 what he calls "compliant victims"? 22 A Yes. 23 Q what does he mean by the term "compliant 24 victims"? 25 A A compliant victim is when a victim is not EFTA00009561 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 13 necessarily forced into the conduct that the offender wants them to engage into, that they actually consent to that kind of activity. Q So that would include minors who are subjected to sexual activity but weren't necessarily kidnapped or forced at gunpoint, or something like that? A Exactly. Q Did he discuss with you the difficulties that exist when you interview those types of victims? A Yes. He stated that a compliant victim is often times embarrassed that they went along with the behavior. They are also likely to deny the behavior, especially when being interviewed by investigators, that they'll deny it or they'll minimize it. Sometimes it takes two, three or multiple interviews to get compliant victims to either trust their interviewer or realize that their interviewer is not going to be judgemental. Q In this case, have you found that to be the case with some of the interviews? A Yes, I have. Q In addition to being embarrassed, sometimes these victims feel guilty about the fact that they were involved in this type of activity? A Oh, yes. Q Does Mr. also have expertise in sexual Copy 1 of 13 EFTA00009562 Page 14 1 preference of offenders? 2 A Yes, he does. 3 Q Did he explain why an offender would select the 4 types of victims that are involved in this case, girls 5 between 14 and 17-years -old? 6 A This type of offender, the sexual preference he 7 has is for post-pubescent females that are physically 8 developed but not necessarily mentally matured. The girls 9 ranging in this age are sometimes inexperienced, they are 10 possibly naive, not as worldly. 11 An offender of this type could also maybe not 12 feel sexually adequate or feel competent dealing with his 13 own age group. So knowing that these girls are less 14 experienced, may focus on them as well. 15 Q In addition to their emotional immaturity, did 16 Mr. talk about whether or not younger girls are 17 easier to manipulate than grown women? 18 A Yes. 19 Q Did he talk to you about "grooming"? 20 A Yeah. That's what an offender will use with a 21 compliant victim. He told us that grooming is a technique 22 where you gain the cooperation of those victims by 23 focusing on their interests and playing up to those lled it. That 24 interests. It's a type of seduction, he ca 25 was his words for it. And we actually see this in this I EFTA00009563 Page 15 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 case. Can you give us an example of some of the types of grooming that Mr. Epstein used? A With one of the girls we're going to talk about today, , it's very apparent interviewing her how Epstein groomed her. She only went to three or four massages at this time, that she's admitted to. We feel that due to her phone conversations, the multiple calls, that there may be more there. At this point she has stated to us that she has performed three or four massages for Mr. Epstein. what he did is when she first went there he played upon -- she was very shy, and he would play upon that shyness. He told her that she was pretty. He asked her to remove her clothing, and she would not. So he kind of kidded around with her shyness and complimented her, showed interest in her, talked about her boyfriend and different interests she had. At the end of that interview, because she did not take off her clothes, he tells her that if she's willing to do more, she will make more. He also tells her that he would pay her if she would bring other girls. As the massages increased, you can see that the next time she comes he plays again to that shyness, but he gets a little bit more -- I guess he sees that it's not working. This Copy 1 of 13 EFTA00009564 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 16 time she does comply and takes off her -- he asked her to disrobe on the second massage. She takes off her blouse, but she refuses to take off the bra after Mr. Epstein asked her to. So you can see that he tries through showing interest. And then he actually -- when he sees that this isn't working, he takes a more authoritative role with her in the last massage. She said that throughout all of these massages he was very nice, and then at the end he was much more frustrated and irritated. She does get down to her bra and panties on that one, he's just much more authoritative. So he started with the grooming process, tried to get her interest, tried to use that to get her to comply with removing her clothes. But as often happens, at the end of this, he took over and was much more forceful with his requests. Q Have other girls described that same situation where every time they went back, he tried to push it one step further and one step further? A Yes. Several of the girls have said that he would always push for more and more. Q Did Mr. explain why it is that a compliant child victim cannot legally consent to the sexual conduct? EFTA00009565 Page 17 1 A Yeah. He stated that -- you know, we talked 2 about how the law protects children, and stated that we 3 hold adults accountable. When it comes to adolescents, 4 they go through normal tendencies that mature offenders 5 may try to take advantage of. But the law is in place for 6 that reason, to protect -- in the federal law, to protect 7 those individuals under the age of 18. 8 Q And that's because of the different maturity 9 levels of the -- 10 A The offender versus the victims, exactly. 11 Q Did you put together the photographs of the 12 defendants in this case? 13 A Yes, I did. 14 Q Are these photographs of the four human 15 defendants who are named in the proposed indictment? 16 A Yes. 17 Q With their names underneath them? 18 A Yes. 19 Q Agent, who is in the top left-hand corner? 20 A That's Jeffrey Epstein. 21 Q when was this photograph taken? 22 A Recently. There was an article that just came 23 out regarding Mr. Epstein and his connection, or his 24 personal relationship with Prince Andrew, and that was a 25 picture that was in that article. Copy 1 of 13 EFTA00009566 Page 18 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Q Who is in the top right-hand corner? A That's Q Again, this is a relatively recent photograph? A Yes, that's his personal assistant. Q And the bottom left-hand corner? A Again, that is one of Mr. Epstein's personal assistants, that's (phonetic) . Q Has Miss since gotten married? A Yes, her name now is Q And the bottom right-hand corner? A That is . She is, again, a personal assistant to Mr. Epstein. There has been some talk that she is also romantically -- or I should say sexually involved with Mr. Epstein. Q How old are the defendants? A Jeffrey is in his mid-fifties, and the three girls are in their early twenties. Q Do you have a copy of the draft indictment in front of you? A Yes, I do. Q You mentioned when we were looking at the photographs that the three females work as personal assistants for Mr. Epstein, is that correct? A Yes. Q So he is their employer? EFTA00009567 Page 19 1 A Yes. 2 Q Are you familiar with the property located at 3 3S8 El Brillo Way in Palm Beach? 4 A That's Mr. Epstein residence. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Q And he owns that residence? A Yes, he does. Q Are you familiar with Defendant J.E.G.E., Inc.? A Yes. J.E.G.E., Inc. is owned by Jeffrey Epstein. He is the president, the owner, the sole director. It's a business that is solely used for the activities of one of Mr. Epstein's airplanes, which is his Boeing 727. Its tail number is N908JE. And you mentioned that he is the president and the sole director. Is he also the sole shareholder? A Yes, he is. 0 Are you familiar with Hyperion Air, Inc.? A Yes. Hyperion Air, Inc. is also a business owned by Mr. Epstein. He is also the president, the director and the sole shareholder of that company as well. That company solely does business with his other aircraft, which is a Gulf Stream G-1159B. It bears a tail number N909JE. Q Is that a smaller aircraft than the Boeing? A Yes. Just to briefly remind the grand jury about Copy 1 of 13 EFTA00009568 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Page 20 where the evidence has been collected in this case, was the start of your investigation information that you received from the Palm Beach Police Department? A Yes, it was. Q And that included evidence seized during a search of Mr. Epstein's home at El Brillo Way? A Yes. Q Also controlled calls that the Palm Beach Police Department placed? A Yes. Q And interviews of girls and other people by the Palm Beach Police Department? A Yes, as well as trash pulls that the Palm Beach Police Department conducted on Mr. Epstein's residence. 15 16 Q Then when the FBI became involved, the FBI did additional interviews of girls and of recruiters? 17 A Yes. 18 Q They obtained phone records? 19 A Yes, we have. 20 Q And records of payments? 21 A Yes. 22 Q Did this grand jury also subpoena travel 23 records? 24 A Yes. 25 Q Including the flight manifests of the planes EFTA00009569 Page 21 1 owned by Hyperion and J.E.G.E.? 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 pattern of activity by the defendants? 10 A Yes, we did. 11 Q So you have a series of phone calls coming from 12 these three assistants who were on the board, the two 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 A Yes. Q Did you also get corporate documents related to those two planes? A Yes, we have. Q Once you had obtained all of this information, did the FBI analyze the data, specifically the call information and the flight information to put together a girls who have been identified through this investigation? A Yes. Q When you spoke with those girls, did any of them tell you that they had developed some sort of a personal relationship with the assistants so that they were just chatting over the telephone? A No, not at all. Q All of them said what about the phone calls? A Said that the phone calls were made to set up appointments for Mr. Epstein. Q And the girls referred to it as appointments to work, is that right? A Yes, they were appointments to work. There is Copy 1 of 13 EFTA00009570 Page 22 1 one exception, we're going to talk about her 2 probably next week. She did say on one or two occasions 3 that had called her when she had gone out to California on a trip, I believe. But that is the only time that that was ever mentioned. In fact, we asked, and 6 those phone calls were made for the purpose of setting up 7 appointments for Mr. Epstein. 8 Q Is the investigation continuing? 9 A Yes, it is. 10 Q Are you still trying to locate and interview 11 more girls? 12 A Yes. 13 Q Let's turn to the specific evidence reporting 14 the overt acts and offenses relating to Jane Doe's 1 15 through 5. I know that every member of the grand jury has 16 a copy of the draft indictment before them, and also a 17 chart. 18 Do you have a copy of that chart as well? 19 A I do. 20 Q Do you have photographs of the five girls that 21 we are going to talk about today? 22 A Yes. 23 Q And these are photographs of the people that we 24 are calling Jane Doe's 1 through 5? 25 A Yes.
