PROCEEDINGS
BY MR. WEINBERG:
Q. Good afternoon, sir.
A. Good afternoon.
Q. To finish up the subject that we were talking
about right before the recess, do you ever recall
dicr-ncsions with the State Attorney's office about an
offer that was extended to Mr. Epstein to plead guilty
and receive a five-year period of probation for an
aggravated assault charge?
A. Yes.
Q. And that was a subject of discussion between
you and members of the State Attornes fice?
A. With Assistant State Attorney
I don't know if that's her last name, how
it's pronounced, but close enough.
Q. If we call her =, I think we both know who
we're discussing.
A. Yeah.
Q. And those discussions occurred within or
around the winter of 2005,'6?
A. I believe so.
Q. And was that a sentence and a charge option
that was extended to Mr. Epstein through his then Page 507
1 A. She did a lot of crimes against children.
2 Q. And she, on other occasions, advocated
3 prosecution of people on felony charges, correct?
4 A. I hadn't had many dealings with her so I don't
5 know. You know, l knew Mier. She was actually at the
6 office, State Attorney's office, when I was employed
7 there many years ago.
8 Q. And that was how many years ago?
9 A. I've been with Palm Beach almost 19 years.
10 Q. So we're talking about at least 20 years ago?
11 A. Yeah.
12 Q. And she had been there, to your knowledge,
13 continuously from the time that you knew she was there
14 20 years ago?
15 A. Yeah.
16 Q. And you knew her specialty to be charging
17 people that were — for offenses that dealt with

24 A. And that was the time that I just had learned
25 of the offer that was made to previous counsel.

Page 508
1 Q. And did you take a position on that offet?
2 A. Personally, I told her I didn't agree with it,
3 but I couldn't speak for the department. It actually
4 had to come from people with a higher pay grade than
5 mine, so I just relayed the information back to
6 Chief Reiter.
7 Q. And what, if anything, did Chief Reiter do?
8 MS. ARBOUR: Form.
9 THE WITNESS: I believe he tried to make
10 contact with State Attorney Barry Krischer.
11 BY MR. WEINBERG:
12 Q. Did he make contact with State Attorney
13 KriSehe', to your knowledge?
14 A. I'm not 100 percent certain if he did or
15 didn't. I bow there was some time where none of our
16 calls were being returned from the State Attorney's
17 office.
18 Q. Jane Doe 103 was one of the witnesses who was
19 at the center of the State investigation, correct?
20 A. One of them, yes.
21 Q. And you knew that Jane Doe 103 had a MySpace
22 page that was one of the MySpace profiles that was
23 provided to the State Attorney by Mr. Epstein's then
24 counsel, Professor Dersbowitz, correct?
25 A. Yes, I knew that there were pages sent of the Page 510
1 correct?
2 MS. ARBOUR: Form.
3 THE WITNESS: f know that when there's
4 misdemeanor arrests in the Town of Palm Beach, a
5 lot of officers pretty much try to gain any
6 intelligence they can from any of the people that
7 they encounter. Some of the information actually
8 leads to other cases, clearance of minor rocas
9 thefts, bike thefts.
10 BY MR. WEINBERG:
11 Q. And in this case, it led to you going to sec
12 Jane Doe 103, first calling her on October 10th and then
13 visiting ha in Jacksonville on October 11th, correct?
14 A. Yes.
I5 Q. And you also, in your investigation, learned
16 that Jane Doe 103 had lost her job at Victoria Secret
17 for stealing, did you not?
18 A. No.
19 Q. You never received any information regarding
20 Jane Doe 103's employment history with Victoria Secret?
21 A. She was actually employed there when I went up
22 to seeker. Thrift where I met with her.
23 Q. Did you ever team at any time that she had a
24 problem that led to her losing her employment?
25 A. No.
Page 509
1 MySpaces, but I wasn't sure of whom at that particular
2 time. They provided us copies thereafter, but right
3 there, immediately, I wasn't aware of whom had pages.
4 Q. You eventually received than and reviewed
5 than, correct?
6 A. tJb-huh.
7 Q. And you understood that from even before then,
8 that Jane Doe 103 had a background that involved at
9 least one arrest, correct?
10 A. Yes.
11 Q. And you understood that when she was arrested
12 in early October, she in fact informed the arresting
13 officers that she had information regarding Mr. Epstein,
14 correct?
15 A. I believe so.
16 Q. And if you go to your probable cause affidavit
17 ai page 11, at the bottom of 10, it starts, 'On
18 September 11, 2005, Jane Doe 103 was arrested by the
19 Palm Beach Police Department for misdemeanor possession
20 of marijuana. During the arrest, Jane Doe 103 told the
21 arresting officer that she had information about sexual
22 activity taking place at the residence of Mr. Epstein."
23 A. Yes.
24 Q. Jane Doe 103 essentially was asking the
25 arresting officer to assist in her cooperating; is that Page 511
1 Q. So you knew she had been arrested for
2 marijuana?
3 A. Uhelmh.
4 Q. You knew she had a MySpace page where there
5 was information that was -- that showed her to use
6 thugs, correct?
7 A. Uh-huh.
8 MR. PIKE: Yes or no?
9 THE WITNESS: Yes.
10 BY MR. WEINBERG:
11 Q. You knew that the role of the State Attorney,
12 the prosecutor that would have to present this case to
13 the jury, was to weigh evidence, correct? Not only the
14 evidence you provided but also any evidence that was
15 provided by those representing the target of criminal
16 investigation?
17 A. Yes.
18 Q. And knew that as a result of that weighing
19 process, =, an experienced State Attorney, told you
20 that she believed at least that Jane Doe 103 was a
21 consenting participant and not a victim of criminal
22 offenses by Mr. Epstein, correct?
23 MR. GARCIA: Object to the form.
24 THE WITNESS: I don't — consenting victim,
25 you mean?

THE WITNESS: That would be some, yes.
BY MR. WEINBERG:
Q. And many of them appeared to be incoming calls
from different girls which said, Em in town, can I come
over, can I schedule a meeting?
MS. ARBOUR: Form.
THE WITNESS: Some were like that.
BY MR. WEINBERG:
Q. And some appeared to be responses to a phone
call made by someone at the El Bulb home asking, are
you available, and there would be a phone call back
saying, Pm available tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday
morning or Thursday afternoon.
A. Correct.
Q. And by and large, these messages did not
include any negotiation over dollars? In other words,
there was not on a message pad that any of these
incoming girls were saying, I will come over ifIeffrey
gives me $500 or $300; there was no evidence of that
kind of incoming phone call, correct?
MS. ARBOUR: Form.
THE WITNESS: Not that I can recall, no.
BY MR. WEINBERG:
Q. And likewise, there was no indication on these
message pads that any of the people calling 1 of 18; is that right?
2 A. What groupings?
3 Q. Well, let's say, did you ever interview a
4 woman named II.?
5 A. Yes.
6 O. And youlcnew that her date of birth was in
7 and that she was over 18 when you
8 interviewed her —
9 A. Yes.
10 Q. — and represented herself to be over 18 when
11 she saw Mr. Epstein?
12 MS. ARBOUR: Font
13 THE WITNESS: Yes.
14 BY MR. WEINBERG:
15 Q. And, likewise, was another person who
16 said yes, she had been to Mr. Epstein's house at a time
17 when she was over 18?
18 A. Correct
19 Q. And then M. was in her 20s when you
20 interviewed her?
21. A. Yes.
22 Q. And there was an., who after the publicity
23 came out, called in and said she was 25 at the time she
24 met with Mr. Epstein?
25 A. Yes. I I
Page 517
1 Mr. Epstein's home were, in essence, particularizing
2 what they were going to do or what they intended to do
3 or what they might do once they got there, correct?
4 MS. ARBOUR: Form.
5 THE WITNESS: Can you repeat that question?
6 BY MR. WEINBERG:
7 Q. Sure. Theres nothing on these message pads
8 that indicates, I'll come over and give a topless
9 massage to Mr. Epstein?
10 A. No.
11 Q. These are essentially contact and scheduling
12 calls?
13 MS. ARBOUR: Form.
14 THE WITNESS: Yes.
15 BY MR, WEINBERG:
16 Q. And often reflect the fact that the callers
17 are not connecting on the first call, so they're going
18 back and forth and trying to arrange times for a
19 particular woman to come over to Mr. Epstein's home,
20 correct?
21 MS. ARBOUR: Form.
22 THE WITNESS: Yeah.
23 BY MR. WEINBERG:
24 Q. And some of these calls come from a whole
25 grouping of persons that you learned were over the age Page 519
1 Q. And., who you interviewed, who told you
2 that yes, she went to Mr. Epstein's home on many
3 occasions, and she was over 187
4 A. Yes.
5 Q. And a
6 A. She was a licensed masseuse.
7 Q. Licensed masseuse who was over 18.
8 A. Yes.
9 Q. And some of the people interviewed had tumcd
10 18 during the period that they were seeing Mr. Epstein
11 and so told you, correct? In other words, that they had
12 started seeing Mr. Epstein when they were 17, and then
13 they became 18 and continued to see him when they were
14 18 and, in fact, you interviewed them when they were 18?
15 MS. ARBOUR: Form.
16 THE WITNESS: Some, yes.
17 BY MR. WEINBERG:
18 Q. And they, too, are included in Mese book of
19 message pads? In other words, this was not limited, the
20 incoming calls were not limited to girls that were 17 or
21 16, and included girls that were 18, 19,20, 25 and even
22 older, correct?
23 MS. ARBOUR: Form.

Q. Now, when you drafted the search warrant
7 affidavit and you agreed with me that you understood
3 when you drafted it, as an experienced detective of
4 almost two decades, that the judge would be relying on
3 the content of what you preiented to him, correct?
6 A. Yes.
7 MS. ARBOUR: Form, asked and answered.
BY MR. WEINBERG:
Q. That the judge did not have some external
bases to test the representations, either for
completeness or for accuracy?
MS. ARBOUR: Form.
THE WITNESS: Correct.
BY MR. WEINBERG:
Q. And you made representations in the search
warrant affidavit that were repeated in the probable
cause affidavit, did you not, that were attributed to
A. Yes.
Q. And directing myself to the probable cause
affidavit, because that's the one that is unsealed and
an exhibit in this case, you essentially said to, on the
probable cause affidavit, that M. said that Jeffrey
Epstein wanted young girls —
A. Yes. Page 522
1 now almost five years ago, that she had said to you that
2 Jeffrey Epstein preferred girls between 18 and 20.
3 A. I would have documented that in the incident
4 report, but...
5 Q. Would it be an important modification of the
6 statement attributed to her that Jeffrey Epstein wants
7 young girls, correct?
8 MS. ARBOUR: Form.
9 THE WITNESS: Had she said it, but again, I
10 don't —
I 1 BY MR. WEINBERG:
12 Q. I understand. Had she said it, it certainly
13 would have been considered important enough to include
14 in the various affidavits that you drafted that relied
15 in part on what told you.
16 MS. ARBOUR: Form, the tape speaks for itself.
17 BY MR. WEINBERG:
18 Q. Correct?
19 A. Correct.
20 Q. The message pads include messages like, was
21 wondering if she would get work tonight, she couldn't
22 work yesterday because of some family event. That's the
23 messages, those contents, you would have view of the
24 message pads, correct?
25 MS. ARBOUR: Form. It speaks for themselves.
Page 521
1 Q. correct?
2 Do you recall that during your tape recorded
3 interview with M., she told you that Jeffrey Epstein
4 preferred to receive massages from girls between 18 and
20 years old?
A. I recall her slating, "The younger, the
7 better," but I don't recall that he prefers girls
8 between 18 and 20.
9 Q. Will augrce with me that if the tape
10 recording of interview with you reports that as a
11 statement made by her, that the tape recording would be
12 the most accurate source of what she told you back in
13 early October 2005?
14 MS. ARBOUR: Form.
15 MR. GARCIA: Do you have the tape recording to
16 play, because my understanding is that's under FRI
17. control.
18 MR. WEINBERG: asking questions about
19 whether or not it included —
20 MR. GARCIA: Without playing the tape
21 recording, I think it's an unfair question.
22 MR. WEINBERG: You can object. I'll ask it.

the State Attorney; this was something you were
reporting that you did on your own, correct?
10 A. I tray have done it on my own to view it myself
11 after learning from the State Attorney's office. I'm

15 Q. Did you do anything other Than look at MySpace
16 pages to try to assess the credibility of any of your

20 had been made to you regarding what occurred on El
21 Milo Way, correct?

23 Q. And you were relying on those statements and
24 their detail as a basis for asking the State Attorney to
