We only have one court Reporter, so it's important 
2 
that we don't talk over one another. I will wait

finish my question.

doing that we all understand. It's easy when we get

9 
shake your head, but the court reporter can't take 
10 
it down so just something verbal. 
11 
A. 
Okay. 
12 
Q. 
If I ask a question you don't understand, 
13 
tell me you don't understand. 
14 
A. 
Okay. 
15 
Q. 
So, who hired you to work with Jeffrey 
16

Q. 
So, you came down in February 2005 and 
9 
began working. What did you, what did you first 
10 
start doing for Jeffrey Epstein? 
11 
A. 
First I doing? I don't remember nothing 
12 
special. 
13 
Q. 
Okay. Well, were you working 
I will 
14 
rephrase it. Were you working only for Jeffrey 
15 
Epstein or were you working also for Ghislaine 
16 
Maxwell, the other person who interviewed you, or 
17 
anybody else in the house? 
18 
A. 
I guess only for him because she was visiting 
19 
a few times house, but I am employed by him. 
20 
Q. 
Okay. What was your understanding at that 
21 
time as to the relationship between Ghislaine 
22 
Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein? 
23 
A. 
They were like partners in business. 
24 
Q. 
Okay. What business was that, if you 
25 
know?

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 
question or at least -- let's go back to 2005, you 
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 --

Q. 
So, you don't actually think you overheard 
2 
it. You think you read it? 
3 
A. 
Right. It's hard to say right now. I don't 
4 
remember but probably most, yeah, I think I read in the 
5 
paper. 
6 
Q. 
Did you understand in 2005 that Ghislaine 
7 
Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein had an intimate 
8 
relationship with one another? 
9 
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 
14 
come to Florida, what did you or what did you 
15 
observe her and Mr. Epstein do back in 2005?

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

4 
Q. 
Did you know at that time what Ghislaine 
5 
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?
