Page 20 1. Later in the interview, we tell her about what 2 we have in her testimony to the grand jury and her 3 statements made to detective And she really is 4 having a difficult time trying to remember who told her to 5 take off her clothes and her pants. As we are walking 6 through the sexual activity, she does recall and states. 7 that it was Mr. Epstein who told. her to take off her pants. 8 9 I guess I'll go to the third discrepancy. Is 10 there anything I left off with that? 11 Q Well, does she report that when the assistant 12 leads -- or the blonde lady leads her upstairs, that the 13 blonde lady also said, "Get undressed," but that 14 didn't get fully undressed? 15 A That's what she said in her statement to the 16 detective, when she gives her first statement. She tells 17 us again last night that that's what she recalled. 18 Q That the lady said first, "Get undressed," but 19 she doesn't get fully undressed. And when Jeffrey comes 20 back, he said, "Take your pants off."? 21 A Yes. And again, like I said, when we started 22 interviewing her and asking her about this, she did have a 23 hard time. But when we were walking through the sexual 24 activity, that's when she recalls who told her to take off 25 her pants. EFTA00009467

Page 21 1 And I'll tell you, when we talked about the 2 sexual activity, and it comes out that she wasn't wearing 3 her underwear when 4 , she does not recall how they came off. 5 She cannot remember removing her underwear. She doesn't 6 remember if Mr. Epstein removed her underwear. She knows 7 her underwear was off, but she cannot tell you exactly at 8 what point her underwear was removed. 9 Q Let's talk about the third discrepancy. 10 A The third is the sexual activity, when she was 11 originally interviewed by detective about the 12 When detective 13 comes and sees her again a few weeks later, she does 14 tell her at that time that 15 She also says that to the grand jury, she talks about the 16 17 Last night she told us about 18 When we asked her about hiM 19 and that had told the police 20 department that she told us last 21 night that she by Mr. Epstein, but that she 22 thought only her and knew about this and that she 23 did not want her father to know that 24 She didn't want anybody to know, but she especially didn't 25 want her father to know, that that was her business.

Page 22 she did not know that had told anybody, she thought 2 it was only her and that knew. She was embarrassed 3 and didn't want anybody to know that. 4 Q Did she become visually upset? 5 A Yes, she began crying when we asked her about 6 . when she realized that we 7 knew about that, she became very upset and concerned about 8 her father. She mentioned that her father has read a lot 9 of the reports in the State of Florida, and has followed 10 the state's case. She was concerned about even telling 11 us, afraid that he would be able to read in our reports 12 about this. 13 We explained to her that the FBI's reporting is 14 a little bit different than the way the state -- those are 15 public records, and ours is part of our case file. 16 Q In addition to the fact that she had these 17 concerns about her father and she was embarrassed, in your 18 experience of interviewing victims of sexual abuse, is it 19 typical for them to not disclose all of the sexual 20 activity? 21 A Yes, it's very typical. And young girls, they 22 don't want to talk about it. This is just another case of 23 her not wanting to tell exactly what took place. 24 Q After that first visit to Mr. Epstein's house, 25 and the interviews with detective , did detective EFTA00009469

Page 28 1 A Through phone records, we have contact between 2 and starting at age 17. 3 : Those are all the questions. 4 Thank you. (Witness excused, and then returned.) BY 7 Q The question was, was there any particular evidence to suggest that Mr. Epstein knew that was 9 under the age of 18? 10 A I would say through the interviews of the 11 multiple girls that went to Mr. Epstein's house -- the way 12 that having seen last night, and now she's 16 -- this 13 was two years ago -- that age and behavior -- and 14 again, is that more circumstantial evidence? As far as 15 concrete evidence, no. But just by her appearance and her 16. mannerisms and how I observed her last night at age 16. 17 Q And that's consistent with what said 18 during her statement; correct? 19 A Yes, it is. 20 MS. : Any other questions? 21 JUROR: Did she look 18? 22 THE WITNESS: Does look 18?
