But defending a client against charges,

trying to minimize the charges, are made by all

lawyers, and were made by all the lawyers in this

MR. EDWARDS: I have a document we'll mark

COURT REPORTER: Number 23.

(Thereupon, marked as Plaintiff 
12 
Exhibit 23.)

14 
that as 22 so we don't forget?

Yes.

My only question is going to be, did you

go to that speaking engagement that was scheduled?

MR. INDYKE: I didn't hear the question.

This is Darren.

22 
Q. 
Are you aware from any nonprivileged 
23 
document or information that Jeffrey Epstein 
24 
referred to sex with underage girls as massages, 
25 
that that was a code word?

A. 
No. 
2 
Q. 
In reviewing the message pads that were 
3 
taken from his home and the public police report, 
4 
have you been able to learn that fact? 
5 
A. 
I think it's false. I think it's a false 
6 
fact. When I was offered a massage at Jeffrey 
7 
Epstein's house, I received a legitimate massage by 
8 
a professional masseuse who hurt me. And I called 
9 
my wife and told her about it. I didn't enjoy it. 
10 
And I've been told by numerous people that they have 
11 
gotten ordinary massages, so I don't believe it was 
12 
a code word. I think that's false. 
13 
Q. 
Who told that you that they got ordinary 
14 
massages at Jeffrey Epstein's house? 
15 
A. 
People who were guests at the house. 
16 
Q. 
Exactly. 
17 
MR. INDYKE: I'm sorry? 
18 
A. 
My wife --
19 
MR. INDYKE: Can you repeat the question, 
20 
please. 
21 
MR. EDWARDS: Yes, I was just asked for 
22 
the identity of the people who have told 
23 
Mr. Dershowitz that they have received 
24 
legitimate massages at Jeffrey Epstein's home. 
25 
MR. INDYKE: I object to that question and

the response to the extent it would invade 
privileges that we've already discussed, and 
instruct Alan not to answer. 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: I think you can 
answer it outside the privilege. 
A. 
Virtually everybody that -- when I was at 
Jeffrey Epstein's house in Palm Beach, not in 
8 
New York -- I never heard the word "massage" used in

New York, but in Palm Beach, he would offer -- you 
would get an offer of massage, and people would 
accept it or not. But I never heard massage being 
anything other than an ordinary therapeutic massage. 
And I think it's insulting to professional massage 
therapists to assume that every massage -- I mean, 
it was like --
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
Q. 
Maybe I communicated my question poorly. 
I was actually asking for the names of the people 
who told you --
A. 
I told you my wife, my daughter, myself. 
I'll try to think of other names, but I remember 
people telling me 
Jeffrey Epstein's 
Q. 
Anybody 
that they had received massages at 
house. 
outside of your immediate family? 
A. 
Yes, but I'm having trouble remembering 
www.phi sre orting.com 
EFTA00615746
Sivu 165 / 221
626

specifically who they were. 
2 
Q. 
Okay. 
3 
MR. INDYKE: Outside of 
subject to not 
4 
privilege, you're saying? 
5 
A. 
Right, yeah. 
6 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
7 
Q. 
Do you remember speaking with the Daily 
8 
Mail on or around January 21, 2015, and saying --
9 
Dershowitz said the statements are all lies and "I 
10 
never got a massage from anybody, it's made up out 
11 
of whole cloth"? 
12 
A. 
No, I never said. 
13 
Q. 
If I showed you the statement, would it 
14 
help refresh your recollection? 
15 
A. 
No, because it's false. I never said that 
16 
I never got a massage because I said immediately 
17 
from day one that I got one massage. I said that 
18 
immediately. I described the massage. I might have 
19 
been asked did I get a massage from 
. The answer would be no. Did I get massage 
21 
during the relevant period of time? The answer 
22 
would be no. 
23 
But I never stated, and I would challenge 
24 
you to come up with -- no, with a tape recording of 
25 
me saying that in full context because that's not 
www.phi sre orting.com 
EFTA00615747
Sivu 166 / 221
627 
1 
what I said. I've always said that I received one 
2 
massage. 
3 
4 
5 
6 
7 
Q. 
What does the quote say? 
8 
A. 
And, in fact, I said specifically that I 
9 
kept my underpants on. I was very specific about 
10 
the massage that it was -- I think it was a woman 
11 
from a Russian background. I was very clear. So to 
12 
say that I said that I never got a massage is just 
13 
false. From day one, I said I got a massage. 
14 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: You had another 
15 
question in the middle that. Go ahead. 
16 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
17 
Q. 
Right. What does the quote attributed to 
18 
you in that article say? 
19 
MR. SIMPSON: The document hasn't even 
20 
been marked yet. 
21 
MR. EDWARDS: What are we up to, 24? 
22 
(Thereupon, marked as Plaintiff 
23 
Exhibit 24.) 
24 
A. 
It doesn't show what the question was. It 
25 
doesn't show the context. And like -- all lies. 
I said that, I think, on day one. 
And, again, you're dealing with the Daily 
Mail. The context would have to be did you get a 
massage from any underage girl or anything like 
that. I never said that. 
www.phi sre orting.com 
EFTA00615748
Sivu 167 / 221
628 
1 
All lies. Obviously I was referring to what 
2 
said and what 
said 
3 
about me, so that was the "all lies." 
4 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
5 
Q. 
I'm asking what is the quote about the 
6 
massages? What are the words that are used? 
7 
A. 
"I never got a massage from anybody, it's 
8 
made up out of whole cloth." I did not say that. 
9 
Q. 
Okay. So the reporter --
10 
A. 
Is wrong. 
11 
Q. 
-- is wrong? 
12 
A. 
Who is the reporter? Is it the same 
13 
Ms. Churchill? 
14 
So this is an article 
you said, again, 
15 
the Daily Mail. This sounds like it's the Daily 
16 
News, not the Daily Mail. 
17 
Q. 
Okay. 
18 
A. 
But it's not true. I never said in the 
19 
context of generally massage. Because why would I 
20 
say that if I said it on television, I said it on 
21 
the radio, I've said it over and over again that I 
22 
got a massage? 
23 
Q. 
You deny making the statement that was 
24 
attributed to you in the Daily Mail article that's 
25 
attached to the deposition as Exhibit 24? 
www.phi sre orting.com 
EFTA00615749
Sivu 168 / 221
629 
1 
A. 
That's right. 
2 
Q. 
Okay. It does say the Daily News. 
3 
A. 
Or -- now, let me be very clear. If I 
4 
said it, I said it in the context of 
5 
Q. 
Daily News. 
6 
A. 
If I said it, I said it in the context of 
7 
' massage or a massage during the 
8 
relevant period because I never would say that I 
9 
didn't get a massage when I got one, and I always 
10 
said I did. 
11 
Go back and check earlier statements, 
12 
statements before this, and you'll see that I said 
13 
it. So what sense would it make for me to say that 
14 
I didn't get it? 
15 
Q. 
So is your testimony that you only had one 
16 
massage at Mr. Epstein's home? 
17 
A. 
That's -- let me be very clear. I never 
18 
had a massage in the New York place. I of course 
19 
never had a massage in the -- in the ranch. I have 
20 
no recollection of having a massage -- I never had a 
21 
massage on airplane. And I had one massage in the 
22 
Palm Beach home. 
23 
Q. 
What year it was that you had the massage 
24 
in the Palm Beach home? 
25 
A. 
I don't know, but I suspect it was in --
www.phi sre orting.com 
EFTA00615750
Sivu 169 / 221
630 
1 
very early in my friendship or my acquaintanceship 
2 
with Jeffrey Epstein, probably '96 or '97, but I 
3 
would be guessing. 
4 
It was not during the relevant time period 
5 
because I was not in Jeffrey Epstein's -- my records 
6 
show I was not in Jeffrey Epstein's home in Palm 
7 
Beach during the relevant time period, so I couldn't 
8 
have had a massage during that period. 
9 
Q. 
So is it your testimony, then, that the 
10 
only massage 
we're getting some background from 
11 
the phone. 
12 
MR. SIMPSON: On the phone, there's some 
13 
background. 
14 
MR. INDYKE: Am I the only one on the 
15 
phone? This is Darren. Because if I'm not --
16 
(Discussion off the record.) 
17 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
18 
Q. 
So is your testimony today that at any of 
19 
Jeffrey Epstein's homes, you have only had one 
20 
massage, and that was only at the Palm Beach home 
21 
and it was sometime in the mid to later '90s? 
22 
A. 
No, let me be very clear. I know for 
23 
absolute certainty I never had a massage in the 
24 
New York home. I know for absolute certainty I 
25 
never had a massage in the ranch. 
www.phi sre orting.com 
EFTA00615751
Sivu 170 / 221
631 
1 
I do recall having one massage in the Palm 
2 
Beach home. I do know for certain that I never had 
3 
a massage in the airplane. And I'm fairly certain I 
4 
never had a massage at the -- on the island. 
5 
Q. 
And the one massage that you had at the 
6 
Palm Beach home was sometime early in your 
7 
relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, '96 or '97 
8 
approximately? 
9 
A. 
I'm not sure. I'm not sure about that. I 
10 
just don't remember exactly when it was. But it 
11 
wasn't -- obviously it was when I was in his house, 
12 
and the records show that I wasn't in his house 
13 
during the relevant time period. 
14 
Q. 
Is it your memory, though, that it was in 
15 
the '90s? 
16 
A. 
I can't remember. It could have been --
17 
it could have been later. I know that when my 
18 
children and grandchildren came to stay at Jeffrey 
19 
Epstein's house in 2005, I think there was some 
20 
massages that were -- oh, yeah, I think some of them 
21 
had massages. I did not --
22 
Q. 
But --
23 
A. 
-- is my recollection. 
24 
Q. 
But your massage was many years before 
25 
that experience in --
www.phi sre orting.com 
EFTA00615752
Sivu 171 / 221
632 
1 
A. 
I think so, but I'm not sure. It could 
2 
have been later too. I just don't have any distinct 
3 
chronological frame of reference for when I had a 
4 
massage, but I do remember it very clearly and I 
5 
remember that it was painful and I remember that the 
6 
massage therapist wanted to put her knees on my 
7 
shoulder, and I called my wife immediately after I 
8 
had the massage and told her that this therapist 
9 
wanted to put her knees on my shoulder and I said I 
10 
wasn't really anxious to have that, because she had 
11 
hurt me. She was a very deep therapy massage 
12 
person. 
13 
Q. 
Have you seen Juan Alessi's testimony 
14 
wherein he indicates that you had massages at 
15 
Jeffrey Epstein's home? 
16 
A. 
Would you show it to me, please. 
17 
MR. INDYKE: Same objection and 
18 
instruction. 
19 
MR. SCOTT: Didn't we cover this with 
20 
Mr. Scarola the last time, the massage issue? 
21 
I could be wrong. 
22 
THE WITNESS: I was asked about it last 
23 
time. 
24 
MR. SCOTT: Last time I think I covered 
25 
this.

SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: Is this the 
2 
deposition from this matter? 
3 
MR. EDWARDS: The deposition that was in 
4 
the civil matters against Jeffrey Epstein, and 
5 
I think I've bracketed each of the pertinent 
6 
parts. 
7 
A. 
I don't see him saying more than one 
8 
massage. It says, "Did he have massages sometimes 
9 
when he was there? 
10 
"Yes. A massage was like a treat for 
11 
everybody. If they wanted, we called the massage 
12 
and they had a massage." 
13 
That doesn't sound to me like it's very 
14 
specific. I was offered massages on numerous 
15 
occasions by the house staff, and I said no. I did 
16 
have that one massage. And then you have bracketed 
17 
material about big dildos. That clearly refers to 
18 
an area of the house that I was never in, never 
19 
allowed into. Do you have any other brackets 
20 
material? 
21 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
22 
Q. 
Not for this question. 
23 
A. 
So this is not any statement that I had 
24 
massages or multiple massages, doesn't contradict 
25 
what I said at all. He's testifying as to the 
www.phi sre orting.com 
EFTA00615754
Sivu 173 / 221
634 
1 
general procedure, and he's right, people were 
2 
offered massages, and they were real massages, the 
3 
ones that I know about. 
4 
Q. 
Okay. Well --
5 
A. 
Let me say this. Jeffrey Epstein would 
6 
never dare to offer me an erotic massage. He would 
7 
know that I would walk out of that room so fast, I 
8 
would never speak to him again. He knows about my 
9 
relationship with my wife. He knows how much I love 
10 
her. He would never in a million years offer me 
11 
anything that was in any way improper, and he 
12 
didn't. 
13 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: Brad, you have 
14 
five minutes before Jack smartly wants to get 
15 
out of here, so if you want to look for an 
16 
appropriate break. 
17 
MR. EDWARDS: I'll finish after -- a few 
18 
more questions on this, and then we're done. 
19 
BY MR. EDWARDS:

Okay. The question was:

"Do you have any recollection of

"QUESTION -- how often did he come?

"ANSWER: He came pretty -- pretty often.

I would say at least four to five times a year.

typically stay? 
11

"ANSWER: Yes. A massage was like a treat

for everyone. If they wanted, we'd call the massage 
16

17 
He does indeed say that you stayed for two 
18 
or three days at a time and had plural massages,

A. 
No, he says I stayed for two or three

And he says -- first of all, English is

I was offered massages. I had one

3 
else he said. Can I see it again, please? 
4 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
5 
Q. 
The whole deposition? 
6 
A. 
Just that part of it. 
7 
The only time I stayed for -- he's right, 
8 
I stayed for two or three days with my wife, my 
9 
daughter-in-law, my son, and two grandchildren and 
10 
my daughter. We stayed for about five days. 
11 
Jeffrey Epstein was not in the house at that point 
12 
in time. 
13 
He found out we were looking for a 
14 
vacation place, and he offered his empty house with 
15 
the housekeeper and his wife, and we stayed there 
16 
during that period of time. 
17 
The only other time that I stayed for more 
18 
than one day was when I was involved in the case 
19 
with my research assistants. I stayed for two days 
20 
once with my nephew, Adam, who was coming to watch a 
21 
launch of the space shuttle. But I have no 
22 
recollection of ever staying three days alone. 
23 
There would be no reason I would do that. And I 
24 
didn't. 
25 
Q. 
While you were staying at the house, did

Sivu 176 / 221
637 
1 
Mr. Epstein have underage girls over to give him 
2 
massages? 
3 
A. 
Certainly not to my knowledge. If I had 
4 
seen a single underage girl in that house that 
5 
looked like she was there for any inappropriate 
6 
person, I would have been out of there 
7 
instantaneously. That would not be covered by the 
8 
lawyer-client privilege. And I would have called 
9 
the police and turned him in. That's how strongly I 
10 
feel about sex with underage people, male or female. 
11 
Q. 
Even though these girls were 14, 15, 16 
12 
years old? 
13 
A. 
I never saw -- not even though. 
14 
Especially. Of course. A fortiori. I never saw 
15 
anything like that, not on the airplane, not in the 
16 
ranch, not on the -- in the island, not in Palm 
17 
Beach, and not in New York. 
18 
MR. SCOTT: It's 4:45. 
19 
A. 
He did always travel with an entourage, 
20 
and he had people in his encourage who looked like 
21

Q. 
My last question, are you aware -- we can 
2 
pick back up here off of my last question. Are you 
3 
aware that another housekeeper, Alfredo Rodriguez, 
4 
put you in the home at a time when underage girls 
5 
were also in the home? 
6 
A. 
Would you please show me that? Because 
7 
your last question was a mischaracterization

MR. INDYKE: Same objection, same

A. 
What were the six months, by the III?

Q.

"Were any of those young women that you 
2 
have said came to give massages? 
3 
"Yes, ma'am." 
4 
"Ms. Esell, who was representing 
at the time, asked you about Mr. Dershowitz 
6 
being present in Mr. Epstein's home, and I think she 
7 
said -- and I think you said Mr. Epstein was -- and 
8 
he and Mr. Dershowitz were friends? 
9 
"ANSWER: Yes. 
10 
"She also, I think, asked was

gave a massage was present in the home.

"ANSWER: I don't remember that.

"QUESTION: That's what I want to clear 
15 
up. Is it your testimony that Mr. Dershowitz was

18 
"ANSWER: Yes. 
19 
"QUESTION: And when Mr. Dershowitz was at

22 
he was there, but you're not sure if he had a 
23 
massage from any of the girls.

girls were in the house? 
2 
"He would read a book, glass of wine by 
3 
the pool or stay inside." 
4 
So my question is, are you aware that 
5 
Alfredo Rodriguez put you in Jeffrey Epstein's home 
6 
when the underage girls were coming to his home to 
7 
give massage? 
8 
A. 
Absolutely not. 
9 
MR. SIMPSON: Object to the form and 
10 
mischaracterizing and taking multiple separate 
11 
sections of a deposition and multiple different 
12 
pages read as though they were together. 
13 
Object to the form. 
14 
A. 
I'll answer. He talks about young 
15 
ladies --
16 
MR. SWEDER: I'm going to object to that, 
17 
too. This is Mr. Sweder. That is a misleading 
18 
reading of that deposition, leaving out a very 
19 
particular part of it --
20 
MR. EDWARDS: Okay. The whole 
21 
deposition --
22 
MR. SWEDER: -- that says that he didn't 
23 
know whether Dershowitz ever even saw these 
24 
young women.
