A 
Yes, I am. 
2 
Q 
The last time you were here we were discussing 
3 
the evidence supporting various overt acts and charges 
4 
related to Jane Does number 1 and 2? 
5 
A 
Yes. 
6 
Q 
Today we are going to start with Jane Doe 
7 
number 3. Can you tell the Grand Jury who that is and 
8 
summarize briefly your previous testimony about her. 
9 
A 
Jane Doe number 3 is 
and she first 
10 
started, we have first phone contact with 
11 
starting in December of 2004, 
would have been 16 
12 
or 17 at that time, let me do the math real quick, she 
13 
would have been 16 -- sorry, 1 am sorry, she would have 
14 
been at that time 17, let's get it right, so she started 
15 
phone contact, 
started calling her in 
16 
September of 2004. 
17 
From testimony we know that 
went there 
18 
earlier, much earlier. 
which was Jane Doe 
19 
number 4 you will hear about next, they were good 
20 
friends and they both went in the spring of '04, prior 
21 
to 
17th birthday, so 
did start giving 
22 
Mr. Epstein massages when she was 16, she performed a 
23 
few massages for Mr. Epstein and then took kind of a 
24 
little bit of a break. 
25 
The sexual activity that occurred with 
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE ( 
EFTA00224042
Page 4 / 37
4 
1 
Mr. Epstein when 
was under the age of 18 
2 
included digital penetration, the use of a vibrator on 
3 
grabbing and fondling of her breasts and her 
4 
buttock, she was given gifts by Mr. Epstein, she was 
5 
given a vibrator, she was given Victoria secret 
6 
underwear, she was also given a car that Mr. Epstein 
7 
rented for her for a number of months, she was paid $200 
8 
by Mr. Epstein  and 
was the one that primarily 
9 
called 
to set up appointments and as you can see 
10 
that began in December of '04. 
11 
was also one of Mr. Epstein's 
12 
favorites, according to several of the other girls. 
13 
Q 
Just so the Grand Jury has an idea, how does 
14 
that translate 
15 
and 
that you were able to calculate? 
16 
A 
called her, I guess calls between 
17 
the two of them ranged around 125 phone calls from 
18 
December 6th, 2004 until October, 2005. 
19 
Q 
And just briefly can you remind the Grand Jury 
20 
did 
ever tell Mr. Epstein her age? 
21 
A 
No, they did not ever discuss, she did not 
22 
tell him how old she was, but she did tell him where she 
23 
planned on going to school and that she was in soccer. 
24 
She stated that when it came to her age that 
25 
Mr. Epstein didn't care. As I mentioned earlier, 
into the number of phone calls between

were very good friends and 
would talk 
about 
and Mr. Epstein would ask questions about 
was providing massages and as we will 
talk about when we talk about Jane Doe number 4, which 
is 
she told Mr. Epstein that she was a junior in 
high school and that 
and her were in the same 
classes together and that they were very good friends 
and 
told us that at one point 
had come to 
her because she had slipped about prom and she was 
10 
11 
worried because Epstein was supposed to 
and she had talked about the prom and 
think she was 18 
said she 
12 
never heard anything else about it and they never 
13 
brought it up. 
14 
Q 
Because, according to 
Mr. Epstein 
15 
didn't care really how old the girls were? 
16 
A 
Exactly. 
17 
Q 
And she never mentioned he asked her for her 
18 
age or asked for any form of identification to show 
19 
whether she was or was not over 18? 
20 
A 
No. 
21 
Q 
Now, if you could turn to the proposed 
22 
indictment and if I could ask you to look at overt act 
23 
number 59. 
24 
A 
we had a little knock at the door. Do you 
25 
want me to get it?

which appears on page 12, and if you could explain to 
the Grand Jury the evidence we have related to that

phone call or phone calls on December 6th, 2004.
