CROSS EXAMINATION

BY MR. LANGINO: 
12 
Q. 
Hello 
My name is Adam Langino and I 
13 
represent■ 
I'll have fewer questions than the rest 
14 
of everybody, since I'm going next in line. But one of 
15 
the things I wanted to ask you --
16 
MR. CRITTON: Before you get started, let me 
17 
just put on my objection. 
18 
Adam, your client i.
who alleges that 
19 
she was at Mr. Epstein's house sometime, I think, 
20 
on one occasion in the summer of '03. 
21 
This witness is neither relevant, nor 
22 
material, nor can it lead to the admissibility of 
23 
any relevant information regarding my client. So I 
24 
understand -- so you certainly can notice him, but 
25 
I'll move to strike all of the questions and

Q. 
Were there any general differences between 
2 
those massage therapists that you paid with checks and 
3 
those that you paid with cash?

Q. 
Did you keep up with Mr. Epstein's -- keep 
9 
informed of Mr. Epstein's criminal case while it was in 
10 
the paper? 
11 
A. 
Only what was on tv. What it was on tv, 
12 
that's how I found out. 
13 
Q. 
How do you feel about Mr. Epstein today? 
14 
A. 
I feel bad, sincerely I feel bad, because he 
15 
was -- with me, with my family, with my wife, he was a 
16 
very generous guy, extremely -- I don't know what the 
17 
word is in English -- but he would press for perfection. 
18 
I mean, and that was a very stressful job. But, 
19 
otherwise, I have no problems with him at all. And I 
20 
feel bad about it, what's happened in his life.

Q. 
Have you had any contact with Mr. Epstein

started, I got home and I had a card, a business card 
2 
from a police officer. I think it wab
 from the 
3 
Palm Beach Police Department. 
4 
And -- and I got scared. And I was trying to 
5 
find out what it's all about. Because it was an 
6 
occasion with Mr. Epstein that we had a disagreement. 
7 
We settled that. Everything was well and we went our 
8 
friendly ways and never heard from him again. 
9 
And I received this from the police department 
10 
that we need to talk to you. And, so, I got scared. 
11 
And I called the office in New York. 
12 
I says, I would like to speak to Mr. Epstein. 
13 
And he come on, and I said, I told him, I 
14 
says, Jeffrey, what's going on? What's happening? I 
15 
thought it was related to the problem that I had 
16 
personally with him settled. 
17 
And I says -- no, he says. And he says to me, 
18 
it's nothing to do with that, has nothing to 
19 
do with it. I've been 
I don't know if he told me I 
20 
been sued or I been -- it's a problem with me, they're 
21 
investigating something and I cannot talk to you. That 
22 
was the end. And that's it.

Because I prefer to keep this -- this -- I was

department. I made my statement and there was no

I don't think I would like to continue with 
14 
this.

19 
MR. CRITTON: Let me just finish putting my

objection on.

As I understand it, it occurred long before he

ever got the card from the police. I think you're

harassing him. I think you're trying to intimidate

How did you feel about Mr. Epstein being loyal

to you as an employee for him by not getting you into

further trouble with the police? 
4 
MR. CRITTON: Form. 
5 
THE WITNESS: I feel that it was part of a 
6 
relationship over 13 years that I did a lot of 
7 
extra work. And I was more or less says, hey, 
8 
you did it for me, I do it for you. And that 
9 
was it. And we end up as friends. We did not 
10 
break it apart. 
11 
BY MR. LANGINO: 
12 
Q. 
As you sit here today, do you have a sense of 
13 
personal loyalty to Mr. Epstein? 
14 
A. 
No. No. Matter of fact, that iot has left me 
15 
a lot of sequels, psychological problems. It was 
16 
extremely damaging to my marriage. Right after I left 
17 
we broke lir. with my wife. I walk away. I left my 
18 
house. I left my family. I end up with a woman that 
19 
she need the money and that's why I went in there and 
2C 
got the money. 
21 
And that's what I think you wanted to hear. 
22 
And I want to end it there. 
23 
I have no -- nothing -- I think my stay there, 
24 
in reflecting the job, I was not paid well enough for 
25 
what we did. And too late now.

A. 
Right after I receive a card from the police

department, when I call Jeffrey and I ask him, what's 
16 
going on? 
17 
He says, I cannot talk to you. Somebody will 
18 
talk to 
you. 
19 
And then I got a call from this guy that I 
20 
cannot recall his name now. Talked to me and we met at 
211 
Carabbas. And we talked -- what? -- about 15 minutes. 
22 
And he asked me questions just like you guys are asking 
23 
me and I says exactly the same answers. 
24 
And he says, well, there's an investigation 
25 
against Jeffrey. You has nothing to do with it. You

Good afternoon, 
7 
8 
A. 
Yes, sir. 
Q. 
My name is Stuart Mermelstein. I represent a 
9 
group of the Plaintiffs in these cases and I have some 
10 
questions for you as well. 
11 
Your wife, 
does she live at the same 
12 
address as you now? 
13 
A. 
Yes, she does. 
14 
Q. 
Now, when you began working full time for 
15 
Mr. Epstein, I believe you said that was around 1991; is 
16 
that correct? 
17 
A. 
Yes. 
18 
Q. 
Was your wife, was she hired at the same time 
19 
as you? 
20 
A. 
No. She was hired three years after. 
21 
Q. 
And how did that come about that your wife was 
22 
hired? 
23 
A. 
My wife was hired because we had a housekeeper 
24 
that she was doing the cleaning and she left. Then we 
25 
had another housekeeper, Polish girl, and she left.

And then by that time my kids went to college 
and my wife was at home. And I suggest my wife to come 
3 
to work with me, to help me. 
4 
Q. 
So you recommended to Mr. Epstein that he hire 
5 
your wife? 
6 
A. 
Yes. 
7 
Q. 
And he did? 
8 
A. 
Yes, he did. 
9 
Q. 
And what were her job duties there? 
10 
A. 
Her only job duties were shopping, basically 
11 
the shopping, getting movie tickets, show tickets, buy 
12 
books, bring the food to Mrs. Epstein's -- Mr. Epstein's 
13 
mother, sometimes drive Mrs. Epstein to the doctors. 
14 
She was not involved -- and sometimes she did 
15 
some cleaning for me. 
16 
Q. 
Did she live with you in the upstairs 
17 
apartment? 
18 
A. 
Most of the nights we had an apartment right 
19 
across the bridge on Flagler that it was my -- my 
20 
property. And we had an apartment there. 
21 
So she went home. She didn't like to stay 
22 
there. But I had to stay there because my job starts 
23 
from 5:00 in the mornina to 10:00 at nicht 
24 
Q. 
And did 
eave her employment the same 
25 
time as you?

A. 
Yes, we did at the same time. 
2 
Q. 
You testified that you would come into the 
3 
bedroom and clean up after massages; is that correct? 
4 
A. 
That's correct. 
5 
Q. 
Did you -- were there occasions where you had 
6 
your wife help you with that? 
7 
A. 
No. No. 
8 
Q. 
Were there 
did she have occasion to go into 
9 
the master bedroom? 
10 
A. 
It was occasions before that she will help to 
11 
set up the tables once in a while, set up the oils and 
12 
the tables. But I will do the clean up after. 
13 
Q. 
Is there a reason for that? 
14 
A. 
I was more involved into the final appearance 
15 
of the house. And it was my responsibility to make sure 
16 
that every room was perfect after they left and before 
17 
they went to bed. 
18 
Q. 
Was there anyone else who assigned your wife 
19 
work other than you? 
20 
A. 
No. Ms. Maxwell, sometimes she would tell my 
21 
wife, go buy some stuff, go get this and go get that. 
22 
She was mostly -- my wife was mostly out of the house. 
23 
She was -- this house was Mr. Epstein would says, go get

this show. And she would have to travel -- and I was on 
2 
the phone with my wife constantly, buy this, get this, 
3 
get this -- and the food, and the food because it was a 
4 
five-star hotel. 
5 
Q. 
Did Ms. Maxwell or Mr. Epstein ever instruct 
6 
your wife to do housecleaning tasks? 
7 
A. 
No. I was blamed for everything. 
8 
Q. 
You were blamed for everything? 
9 
A. 
I was blamed for the good and the bad. 
10 
Q. 
Did you -- during the time your wife was 
11 
there, did you also have a hired housekeeper? 
12 
A. 
We have a crew of housecleaners. We have a 
13 
crew of people that would come to the house and do a 
14 
serial -- I mean, deep cleaning, you know, to the house. 
15 
Q. 
Was that every day? 
16 
A. 
Once a week -- no, it was twice a week. It 
17 
was Tuesday and Fridays. 
18 
It depends on Mr. Epstein's schedule because 
19 
he didn't -- he didn't want nobody at the house while he 
20 
WAC At the house. So we have to rearrange days for the 
21 
clean-up crew to come in. And I usually did that. As 
22 
soon as they left I bring the cleaning crew, get the 
23 
house ready and -- and get set for them for the next 
24 
trip.
