A 
Mr. Epstein paid Jane Doe Number Eight 
two or $300. She could not recall exactly. Tatum 
was also paid $200 for bringing Jane Doe Number 
Eight, and Tatum also told Jane Doe Number Eight 
that if she brought someone she would be paid 
$200.

Q 
And is your testimony today the basis 
for the allegations in Overt Acts 46 through 65? 
A 
Yes. The only other thing I'd like to 
mention is that there are approximately nine calls 
between 
and Jane Doe Number Eight, 
and Jane Doe Number Eight stated that 
would continue to call her to try to get her to 
come. 
Q 
How did that phone contact end? 
A 
I would like to refer to my notes. 
Q 
Sure. 
A 
Jane Doe Number Eight told 
that 
she had moved out of the state to get 
to 
stop calling and that's how the phone contact 
ended. 
Q 
And could you just review Overt Act 
Number 59, which refers to a written telephone 
message? 
A 
Overt Act 59 refers to the message pads 
that were recovered during the execution of the 
state search warrant. Overt Act 59 is a message 
that is written out for Mr. Epstein, dated July 
17, 2004, at 6:55. 
It looks like there is a mark through 
a.m. So I'm not sure if it's 6:55 a.m. 
I believe

It says, 
There's a phone number 
there, 
The message is in a quote 
and it says, me and 
can come tomorrow any 
time or 
alone. And one of Mr. Epstein's 
employees had signed the bottom. 
Q 
And is 
a number that you have 
identified with 
A 
Yes, it is. 
Q 
If I can refer you to Counts 13 and 14. 
Is your testimony here today the basis for the 
allegation in Count 13 that Jeffrey Epstein and 
used a facility or means of 
interstate commerce, that is, a telephone, to 
knowingly persuade, induce, and entice Jane Doe 
Number Seven to engage in prostitution? 
A 
Yes. 
Q 
And is it also the basis for the 
allegation in Count 14 that Jeffrey Epstein and 
used a facility or means of 
interstate commerce, that is, a telephone to 
knowingly persuade, induce, and entice Jane Doe

Jane 
Doe Number Seven during her interview she told us 
that when she went to Mr. Epstein's house, she 
would take 
that we 
are aware of with Jane Doe Number Seven. 
Q 
And with respect to Jane Doe Number 16 
was she able to tell you when she was 
in comparison to the time that she was spending 
with Mr. Epstein? 
A 
I know that when we interviewed Jane Doe 
Number 16, she told us that he was not aware of 
her problem. So I would like to go back and 
re-read that interview before I make that comment. 
Q 
Okay. But with respect to all of the 
girls, including the two that you just spoke about 
have you been able to 
independently corroborate their statements? 
A 
Yes, I have, and specifically with those 
two girls, Jane Doe Number 16, we have the 
telephone records. We have the message pads. 
We 
have the trash pulls. We have the statements from 
the other Jane Does.

Seven through the statements of

Special 
one of the 
questions asked by a grand juror was whether any 
of the girls, any of the Jane Does listed in the 
indictment have been charged or will be charged 
either by the Federal Government or the State 
Attorney's Office for solicitation of 
prostitution? 
A 
No. 
Q 
Okay. Then there was also a question 
about your testimony regarding the threat that was 
placed on the Jane Doe that if anything happened 
to her -- or if she said anything something bad 
would happed to her. 
Do you have any other evidence related 
to threats made to any of the Jane Does?

A 
No. This specific Jane Doe, she was 
upset. She thought she was going there to model 
lingerie or perform a massage. 
When it turned 
into more than that, she was upset by that. 
I think she -- I believe she told us she 
wanted to report it and she was discouraged not 
only by 
nut by Mr. Epstein and he stated 
that to her on one occasion, and I believe I have 
more. 
I would have to go and read it if they 
would like to hear more about some of the other 
remarks that Mr. Epstein made to her. 
A GRAND JUROR: 
I would. 
THE WITNESS: Jane Doe Number Seven was 
told by Epstein that she was not to tell 
anyone what had happened during the massages. 
He told her that she could not tell anyone 
what happened at the house or bad things 
could happen. 
was very scared and felt 
nervous. She knew because of Epstein's 
money, he was powerful. Each time she went, 
she was reminded not to speak of what 
happened at the house and that she would be 
contacted again.

her family if she notified the authorities. 
This was taken from my 302 as well as 
the Palm Beach Police report.

Okay. 
A statement provided by Jane Doe 
Number Seven. 
When you referred in your testimony 
to 
that is Jane Doe Number Seven?

Q 
That's okay. It is just so they know. 
Special Agent 
, are you aware of any 
general Federal child predator law? 
A

Q

whether he could be charged with being a child 
predator. 
Are you aware of any Federal law that 
covers that? 
A 
No. 
Q

Those were all of the 
questions for you. If you could step 
outside. There is a question for her?

THE WITNESS: Not in the federal system. 
BY 
Q 
Well, he is not in custody? 
A 
No, and he is not in custody in the 
state system. 
Yes. 
A GRAND JUROR: Well, I was wondering if 
there is a lot of underlying shame involved 
with, you know, that they felt like if people 
found out, you know, if he was using that on 
them too, you know, being in shame? 
THE WITNESS: Do you want me to answer? 
Okay. 
THE WITNESS: 
I don't think that Mr. 
Epstein used that approach. 
I think there 
has been a lot of shame when we have 
interviewed the girls as to what occurred, 
but I don't think Mr. Epstein's approach was 
to shame the girls.

more questions. The first is: Do you have any

questions. Does the Federal Government prosecute 
minors as a rule?
