A 
No. 
Q 
And is Mr. Epstein considered a high 
flight risk by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's 
Office? 
A 
Yes, he is. 
Q 
So is the status of the investigation in 
terms of when an indictment might be returned 
considered highly confidential?

Yes. 
Q 
And are there any personal relationships 
between any members of the U.S. Attorney's Office 
and counsel for Mr. Epstein?

years old beginning in November of 2004, going 
through to almost April, I guess, to the end of 
March 2005. 
We have contact, telephone contact 
between 
and 
with 
approximately 70 phone calls in that time period 
as well as approximately seven phone calls with 
regarding the setting up of 
appointments to provide massages to Mr. Epstein. 
Q 
Now did

Yes, she did.

there. 
told her that she would need to 
wear something sexy, that she would be providing 
Mr. Epstein with a massage and that she would 
receive $200, and if she was asked she should tell 
Mr. Epstein that she was 18. 
On the first massage that 
went 
to Mr. Epstein's house, she removed her shirt at 
his request and she performed the massage. She 
was paid $300 for that massage.

During that massage, she told Mr. 
Epstein that she was 18 years of age. He asked 
her age. They also discussed many things that 
was interested in. 
They talked about his ranch. They 
talked about horses. They actually also talked 
about cars. 
At one point later on, Mr. Epstein 
let's her drive a brand new Lexus, test drive a 
brand new Lexus. So those were some of her 
interests and Mr. Epstein talked to her about 
that. 
told us that the massages became 
more sexual in nature and she stated that she did 
more than ten massages, but that she couldn't 
quite put a number on how many massages she 
provided to Mr. Epstein, but it was definitely 
more than ten. 
She was not 
when she was interviewed 
by the Palm Beach Police Department, she did tell 
them that it was more around five or six massages. 
She stated that she minimized to the detectives 
when they came to interview her. 
They came to her house and her dad was 
due home any time and what was foremost on her 
mind was my dad is going to be here any minute.

She cooperated. 
She told them what had happened, but she 
minimized it more in an effort that she just 
wanted them to leave before her parents got home. 
At this point, her parents were not aware of what 
took place. 
As the massages became more sexual in 
nature, she describes that the first sexual 
massage 
he always instructed her on what to do, 
and on the first massage he had asked her to 
remove her clothing. 
She was down to her underwear at this 
point. He asked her 
He at that 
point reached through her legs and masturbated. 
On another occasion, she was completely 
nude and she did several of the massages in the 
nude for Mr. Epstein. 
In this particular massage, she stated 
that Mr. Epstein 
She pulled away and he said that he 
wanted to touch her and that he also wanted to

taste her. 
He stopped at that time, but then 
before the massage was over, he digitally 
penetrated her again. 
He had used a back massager on her on at 
least two occasions. She did not like that and 
she told him that and he responded something to 
the effect: What are you scared to have pleasure? 
And she told him she didn't like it. 
On the second to the last massage that 
gave Mr. Epstein, she was giving him a 
massage and he took her into the bedroom and asked 
her to get fully unclothed. 
He actually took a phone call and told 
her that she should get undressed and lay on the 
bed completely naked. He just wanted to look at 
her. He took his phone call. 
After the phone call was over, he ended 
up vaginally penetrating Felicia as well as 
performing oral sex on 
a. She said that she 
felt very dirty after that massage or after that 
time and she had decided that the next massage 
would be her last massage, that she did not want 
to go back. 
During the last massage she gave, she 
kept looking at the clock. Mr. Epstein commented

and noticed that she was looking at the clock and 
she made reference to that her boyfriend was 
waiting and Mr. Epstein said that, you know, she 
was ruining his massage and that if she didn't 
want to be here she should leave. 
She told him at this time this would be 
her last massage. She was paid anywhere from $300 
to $600 during the time that she worked for Mr. 
Epstein. It was 
who took her upstairs that 
first time or took her upstairs and set up the 
massage table. 
She was given some gifts by Mr. Epstein 
as well. She received bra and pantie sets from 
him, Victoria Secret bra and pantie sets. She 
also received a book of poetry from Mr. Epstein. 
She was Western Unioned a wire of $200 
Milk
as a Christmas bonus to 
from Mr. Epstein. 
Q 
How did I=. 
get to and from Mr. 
Epstein's home? 
A 
She had a vehicle that she would drive 
if she didn't ride with one of the other girls. 
If she was grounded and could not get to Mr. 
Epstein's house, he would send a car for her. 
There was a local taxi service and she 
stated that on several occasions it was a Lincoln

Town Car that was sent and there was an individual 
by the name of Dennis that she got to know pretty 
well on the drives to and from Mr. Epstein's 
house, but that even when she didn't have 
transportation on those particular times, that a 
car was sent for her to bring her to Mr. Epstein's 
house. 
Q 
Is there anything else that you wanted 
to tell the grand jury about 
A 
That's it. 
Q 
All right. If I could direct you to the 
proposed draft indictment, draft proposed 
indictment, and ask you to look at the Overt Acts 
that involve Jane Doe Number Five and 
Specifically Overt Acts 53, 58, 61 , 65, 
69, 74, 81 , 91 , 98, 107, and 1 1 1

December 23, 2004, Defendant Epstein caused a 
Western Union wire transfer order to be sent to 
Jane Doe Number Five. 
What evidence do you have to support 
that? 
A 
We have IME 
statements and we also 
have the Western Union receipt showing that she 
received that amount of money. 
Q 
And those were in response to a subpoena 
issued on behalf of this grand jury? 
A 
Yes. 
Q

What is the 
Number 82 involving 
basis for that Overt Act? 
A 
Again, a review of the phone records 
from
 and 
telephone indicate 
that they had contact at that time. 
Q 
And Overt Act Number 88 states that on 
or about January 26, 2005, Defendant 
reviewed 
a telephone message from Jane Doe Number Five. 
What is the basis for that allegation? 
A 
We have reviewed the message pads that 
were recovered during the execution of the state 
search warrant and recovered a message that 
left for

Acts? 
A

Q 
And then if I could refer you to 
substantive offense Count Number Nine, which is 
the enticement charge. Can you just remind the 
grand jury of the evidence supporting that 
allegation? 
A 
On or about those dates, a facility of 
interstate commerce was used, specifically the 
telephone between 
and 
Those telephones were used to set up and 
arrange appointments for Mr. Epstein. As we

discussed earlier during the massage the sexual

and he had sexual

intercourse with 
as well as performed oral

sex on 
12 
He paid 
anywhere from $300 to 
illillil 
13 $600. 
He provided her with gifts, a poetry book, 
14 
a Secret underwear. 
It was 
15 
who had set up the room with the massage table and 
16 set out the oils. 
17 
And then, of course, we did discuss the 
18 
private car that was sent to her when she wasn't 
19 
available to drive herself. He did pay a -- I 
20 didn't mention this earlier -- he paid a truck 
21 
payment for her when she was short on money. So 
22 
that was another thing that Mr. Epstein provided 
23 to 
and she was 17 during all of this 
24 
activity.

Count Number 53, which is the sex trafficking 
offense. Is the information that you just 
summarized the same information that supports that 
count? 
A 
Yes. The only thing I wanted to tell 
you regarding her age, she told Mr. Epstein that 
she was 18 on the first visit. 
A couple of visits 
later they discussed her birthday. They were 
talking about her birthday and her plans for her 
birthday and Mr. Epstein asked her -- said 
something to the effect like: You are going to be 
18? And she said yes. 
And he said: So you are not 18? She 
laughed and said no and they kind of laughed and 
they continued on with the massage. So Mr. 
Epstein was aware through that conversation that 
had not yet turned 18. 
Q 
All right. 
Are there any questions 
regarding 
before we continue? All 
right. Let's turn now to Jane Doe Number 
Six. 
THE WITNESS: Did we do the count, the 
traveling count?

massage topless. He asked her to take her skirt 
and her shirt off. 
She said no at first and later in the 
massage, the way 
puts it, is that he talked 
her into it and she removed her shirt, which she 
was not wearing a bra at the time. 
Mr. Epstein fondled her breasts. He 
asked her to remove her panties and she said no. 
He masturbated and as soon as he ejaculated, the 
massage was over. She was paid $200 for that. 
She, at that point, she did start 
working for Epstein on a regular basis. She 
indicated that she had been there hundreds of 
times over this time period. 
She told us -- and I'm going to read a 
quote to you that she said to me or said to not to 
me but to law enforcement -- she said -- and this 
is referring to after the first time that she went 
there. 
She said I first told him that I had a 
problem with it, what happened the first time, 
but $200 for 45 minutes that was a lot for a 
16-year -old girl making six bucks an hour. 
Now that was a statement she made to law 
enforcement. Going through her phone records and

during her interview with law enforcement, she 
goes back and forth on whether she is 16 or 17. 
It's now over a year since she started 
working -- a year and a half since she started 
working for Mr. Epstein and going back and trying 
to retrace her age, she did say that, but we 
believe at that time she was 17 due to the phone 
contact. 
So we are not sure when that first 
massage started, but the phone contact with 
began in July of '04 when she would have 
been 17. 
Q 
And just to be clear, during that 
interview with law enforcement, did Alex have 
access to her phone records? 
A 
No. 
Q 
And the interviewing officer also didn't 
have access to those records, correct? 
A 
No. 
Q 
So she was just saying she couldn't 
remember if she was 16 or 17 at the time? 
A 
Right. 
As I said, she became kind of a regular. 
He increased her pay to $300 to $400 as long as he 
could touch her. 
She stated that the massages

And when he first digitally penetrated 
her on the first time, she, you know, asked him 
why he was doing that. 
He said: Oh, I thought we 
had done this before. 
And later he continues to digitally 
penetrate her. On this occasion, she said: What 
are you doing? 
Q 
So at the time that that occurred, she 
still had a rule with him, but the rule was that 
he would not penetrate her vagina with his penis?

Right.

that back to him before she got out of high 
school. 
And she said, and this is her quote: 
It 
got too sticky for me. 
He wanted more than I was 
willing to give. 
She stated that Epstein requested her to 
have sex with him multiple times and also wanted 
him to -- wanted her to perform oral sex on him 
and she refused to do that, and Mr. Epstein knew 
that that was not going to happen. 
And, again, that's one of the reasons 
why she ended up giving back the car because it 
just was getting a little bit, as she referred to, 
sticky for her. 
After that occasion, where he did 
penetrate her vagina, he paid her $1 ,000 after 
that. Some of the gifts that she received other 
than the car, she describes that as 
La 
Secret underwear and a bra and pantie set she 
received. 
She received Christmas bonuses, movie 
tickets, VIP show tickets. She went to the David 
Copperfield show. She met with him. She went to 
the after party. She received a Louis Vuitton 
bag.
