Q All right.¶
And at the end of our preservation, you will be welcome to look through any of those records and we also will bring them to the next session.¶
A GRAND JUROR: I have a question. Yes.¶
A GRAND JUROR: We subpoenaed information from theaters. I heard you say ticketing information or records from a few of them.¶
Did we subpoena that information to establish location of the defendant or I guess he’s not a defendant yet?¶
THE WITNESS: Just as corroborating evidence of testimony provided by the girls. Their statements provided to us.¶
A GRAND JUROR: Okay.¶
BY A:¶
Q Okay. Special Agent each¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085621¶

member of the grand jury has before them a copy of a chart. Do you also have a copy of this chart entitled Revised Indictment Summary Chart (by victim)?¶
A Yes.¶
Q And then you also provided to everyone a list of Jane Does with photographs?¶
A Yes, I did.¶
Q Okay. Can you just explain to the grand jury how — which Jane Does we are going to be talking about today?¶
A We are going to talk about Jane Does One through Six and Nine and Ten, and what you have here is a Jane Doe list of One through 19. We will be going through the first Six and Nine and Ten.¶
As you can see, if you look at these two columns you’ll see in the indictment we have before you is going to have the new Jane Doe numbers and the column to the right of that shows you what their Jane Doe number used to be.¶
So Jane Does Nine and Ten, when we spoke about those two before, and we will go through that a little bit later, we referred to those as Jane Does Six and Seven. From here on out, we¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085622¶
8¶
will refer to them as Jane Does Nine and Ten.¶
A GRAND JUROR: I have a question about Jane Doe Number One, and pointed this out. The date of birth is The range of activity dates is 1988 to 2003?¶
THE WITNESS: That’s a typo. That should be¶
Thank you for catching that.¶
A GRAND JUROR: I was about ready to have a problem here. I was having a real problem. Yeah.¶
Okay. Thank you.¶
A GRAND JUROR: I was about to take the law into my own hands.¶
THE WITNESS: Let there be noted on the summary chart, there is a typo correction for Jane Doe Number One. The range of activity for her is 1998 to 2003.¶
This chart is a chart that we put together because I have testified in the past as well as you may have heard other testimony regarding some of the Jane Does, and we are going to be talking about them today and in a later session.¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085623¶
9¶
We want — we provided this to you sort of as an aid so that you can go back and access the grand jury transcripts and go to the date that the testimony was provided.¶
If you look at the last column where it says, Grand Jury Transcript Pages, on this form it will tell you the date of the grand jury, who provided that testimony, and the page number where you can find testimony related to those specific Overt Acts and substantive counts.¶
So the two columns next to that — let’s just take Jane Doe Number Two and run through that real quick. Jane Doe Number Two, we have not testified about before. So that is her number and will always remain her number.¶
Her date of birth is¶
The range of activity and that reflects the range of activity that we have her connected to Mr. Epstein and his assistants.¶
The next two columns are the Overt Acts and the associated substantive counts. The Overt Acts support those substantive counts and again the last column you would at that point go to my testimony on May 8th, 2007,¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085624¶
1 0¶
and look on the transcript on Pages Six and Seven, and that would be my testimony for the Overt Acts, the supporting evidence and testimony for Overt Acts One through 18.¶
BY MS. VILLAFANA:¶
Q But, Special Agent just so that it is clear, when you testified back in May, you weren’t testifying specifically about Jane Doe Number Two, but her name came up in — with respect to one of the other Jane Does?¶
A Exactly.¶
Q Okay. So any information related to those Jane Does would be in the transcript pages?¶
A Yes.¶
Does that make sense to everyone how we have organized that?¶
BY N:¶
Q Now Special Agent if you could look at the proposed indictment, and I’m looking at the Background section of the indictment specifically Paragraphs One through Nine, which deal with Mr. Epstein’s background and who he employed.¶
Have you testified about that material¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085625¶
1 1¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085626¶
1 2¶
them before or where was who testified about them?¶
A Yes.¶
Q I know that you have testified about Mr. Epstein’s residence here in Palm Beach, but if you could look at Paragraph Five of that introductory section, which is on Page Two.¶
Are you — can you provide the grand jury with the location of Mr. Epstein’s New York residence?¶
A Mr. Epstein currently has a property located at 9 East 71st Street, New York, New York.¶
Q If I could direct you to Page Five of the proposed indictment in Paragraphs 18 through 25 of the introductory section.¶
Can you tell the grand jury about where the various victims in this case attended high school?¶
A I can. Starting with Paragraph 18. Would you like me to just run through them?¶
Q Sure.¶
A Jane Doe Number Four attended High School and High School. Jane Doe Number Five attended High School. Jane Doe Numbers Six, Eight, and 12,¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085627¶
1 3¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085628¶
1 4¶
could ask you to take a look at that, and in the proposed indictment if you could turn to Page 32.¶
Special Agent¶
I’m going to ask you about Overt Acts 191 through 225. Can you tell the grand jury what the basis is for the allegations set forth in 191 through 225?¶
A We received through the issuance of a grand jury subpoena the flight manifest from Mr. Epstein’s pilot and that is our evidence to show the travel that Mr. Epstein did, which is displayed in Overt Acts 191 through 225.¶
Q And the chart that is entitled Merged Flight Manifests, what does that include?¶
A This chart will show the grand jury that in January 2004 through — basically, Mr. Epstein’s travel in ‘04 and ‘05 on his two personal aircrafts, which would be the Boeing 727 and the Gulfstream.¶
If you look at this chart, the first column is the date of departure, the date that he left, and you’ll see airport codes in the next column that tells you the airport that he left and what time he left would be the next time, the departure time.¶
It will tell you what airport he was¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085629¶
1 5¶
arriving in and what time he arrived at that airport, and the last would be the actual aircraft itself, which aircraft he was traveling on, and just to remind the grand jury, Hyperion is the Gulfstream and JEGE is the Boeing 727.¶
Q And who created this chart, the Merged Flight Manifests Chart?¶
A The FBI.¶
Q And where did they gather this information from?¶
A We subpoenaed or the grand jury issued a subpoena to the pilot and pilots of Mr. Epstein and through counsel the pilots gave us a copy of the flight manifest for those two years and I have here a set of the flight manifests that were provided to us by the grand jury subpoena and have marked each of the Overt Acts from 191 to 225.¶
So that if any time the grand jury would like to come and look at the actual manifest the pilots gave us, you’ll be able to see the data that this form was taken from.¶
Q Okay. Thank you.¶
Before I go on, does anyone have any questions about those Overt Acts and where this information came from?¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085630¶
1 6¶
A GRAND JUROR: Is there something that ties in these travel itineraries to the actual fact that there was a meeting or something planned? I mean, where does that tie together? Traveling is not against the law.¶
Right. The way that we had the indictment organized before was an attempt to do this in chronological order, which seems to be more confusing rather than less confusing.¶
So when you look at the — when you hear the testimony from Special Agent I and when you look at the Overt Acts related to the victims and when he went to see them, you’ll see that the dates of travel relate to the dates of his meeting with the victims.¶
Does that make sense?¶
Q Is there anything else, Special Agent that I should add to that?¶
A No. It will become clear once we testify about the travel count.¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085631¶
17¶
A GRAND JUROR: Can I just ask which airport is ISM?¶
THE WITNESS: You know, I can in the next session, I would be happy to bring the airport codes.¶
A GRAND JUROR: Okay.¶
THE WITNESS: Obviously, we focused on his times when he traveled into the Palm Beach County area and that would be PBIA or PBI, but I can certainly provide all the airport codes at our next session.¶
BY¶
Q All right. Now throughout the Overt Acts portion where there are discussions of various Jane Does, there will be mentioned a telephone call.¶
So, for example, if you look at Page Ten, Paragraph 17, it says on or about April 23rd, 2004, Defendant placed a telephone call to a telephone used by Jane Doe Number Two.¶
Do you see that?¶
A Yes.¶
Q And Special Agent what is the evidence that we have related to the telephone calls that are mentioned in the Overt Acts?¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085632¶
1 8¶
A We have issued administrative subpoenas to telecommunication companies for cell phone records for Mr. Epstein’s assistants as well as many of the Jane Does.¶
These specific Overt Acts are reflected in those telephone records and we have also prepared for the grand jury — I brought with me today, and I will bring with me next time, all of the telephone records for — that we have received via administrative subpoenas.¶
Today I brought the ones pertaining to the Overt Acts and what we have done is we have taken those cell phone records and we have marked for the grand jury all the Overt Acts that are listed in the indictment.¶
You’ll note when you go to that page, there will be a little mark by the telephone call that we are specifically talking about in the Overt Acts.¶
Q And can you just remind the grand jury what information will be on those records?¶
A It will be telephonic contact between¶
, telephonic contact between his assistants and the Jane Does.¶

One’s boyfriend at the time she had contact with Mr. Epstein, which is¶
Q Who is referred to as in the indictment?¶
A Yes.¶
Q During what period of time, did Jane Doe Number One have contact with Mr. Epstein?¶
A Jane Doe Number One met Mr. Epstein when she was 15. So that would be in the last half of 1998 until 2003 that we are aware of.¶
Q How did she meet Jeffrey Epstein?¶
A She met Mr. Epstein at age 15 and according to her boyfriend when she was 20, Mr. Epstein sent her to Thailand for massage therapy school.¶
So she — the time frame that she was with Mr. Epstein was from the age of 15 until we are aware of is age 20. never saw Jane Doe Number One again after she went to Thailand.¶
She would contact him by telephone, but she never returned back.¶
She never came back that he is aware of. So the time frame that we had Jane Doe Number One with Mr. Epstein is from age 15 to 20.¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085635¶
21¶
I’m sorry, the question you asked me was: How did they meet? They met by a friend of Mr. Epstein’s. Jane Doe Number One was working at and a friend of Mr. Epstein’s, Ghislaine Maxwell.¶
Would you like the spelling? THE REPORTER: Yes, please. THE WITNESS: G-H-I-S-L-A-I-N-E, Maxwell, who was a friend of Mr. Epstein, met Jane Doe Number One at Mar-a-Lago and Jane Doe Number One soon after began working and providing massages for Mr. Epstein.¶
BY:¶
Q What sexual activity was Jane Doe Number One involved in with Jeffrey Epstein?¶
A Through the statements provided by Jane Doe Number Two, when Jane Doe Number Two was 14 years of age, she saw Jane Doe Number One naked and engaged in what she believed to be sexual intercourse with Mr. Epstein.¶
Q Now did Jane Doe Number One recruit any one else to go to Jeffrey Epstein’s home?¶
A At this time, the only Jane Doe that we are aware of is Jane Doe Number Two or the only individual we are aware of is Jane Doe Number Two.¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085636¶
2 2¶
Q Okay. So let’s talk about Jane Doe Number Two. Who is she?¶
A Jane Doe Number Two is a white female named She was born in Palm Beach County, Florida, at the time she had contact with Mr. Epstein.¶
Q And how — has she been interviewed?¶
A Yes.¶
Q During — how old was she during the time frame that Jane Doe Number Two was involved with Mr. Epstein?¶
A She was 14 at the time that she first met Mr. Epstein.¶

Q And how did she come to meet Mr. Epstein?¶
A Jane Doe Number One brought Jane Doe Number Two to Mr. Epstein’s residence for the first time. Mr. Epstein was introduced to Jane Doe Number Two by Jane Doe Number One.¶

EFTA00085637¶
2 3¶
engaged in sexual activity that I mentioned earlier where Jane Doe Number Two informed us that she sat on the couch and observed what she believed the two of them to engage in sexual intercourse.¶
Q And at the time, Jane Doe Number One was 17 and Jane Doe Number Two was 14?¶
A Yes. Q All right. A And I’m not sure if that was actually the first or second visit that she went. So it was either the first visit or the second that the sexual activity that I described took place.¶
They may have gone there the first time and just performed a massage for Mr. Epstein, but on the second occasion the sexual activity that I described took place.¶
Jane Doe Number Two stated that, you know, the three years that we discussed from 2001 to 2004, she provided Mr. Epstein with over, in that three-year period, over 100 massages and all but three of the massages were sexually in nature.¶
Q How much was she paid for performing sexual massages for Epstein?¶
A She was paid between 200 and $400.¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085638¶
EFTA00085639¶
25¶
A would schedule Jane Doe Number Two and sometimes would be out of town and be in New York and scheduled her to come and work, but primary role was to schedule or I guess she was the one that would schedule Jane Doe Number Two to come and perform the massages.¶
Q Did ever actually lead Jane Doe Number Two upstairs up to the bedroom?¶
A Yes. After Jane Doe Number One took Jane Doe Number Two, Jane Doe Number Two started going by herself. The first time that Jane Doe Number Two arrived at Mr. Epstein’s by herself, took Jane Doe Number Two from the kitchen and took her upstairs for the massage that was to be performed for Mr. Epstein.¶
Q Now you mentioned the sexual activity that Jane Doe Number two observed between Jane Doe Number One and Mr. Epstein. Was there ever any other females involved in the sexual activity?¶
A Yes. Mr. Epstein introduced an unidentified female who performed oral sex on Jane Doe Number One — I’m sorry, on Jane Doe Number Two while Mr. Epstein had sexual intercourse with the unidentified female.¶
Q Now you mentioned that at some point,¶

EFTA00085640¶
26¶
Mr. Epstein asked Jane Doe Number Two to start bringing girls; is that correct?¶
A Yes.¶
Q And did he describe what exactly he wants, the type of person that he wanted her to bring? Did she report that he asked her if she had any younger friends that would be interested in performing massages?¶
A Yes. He asked her — can I just have a moment?¶
Q Of course, yes.¶
A I’m sorry. Jane Doe Number Two, Mr. Epstein asked her if she had any friends that would be interested in performing these massages and then he also inquired if she had any younger friends that would — that she could bring to him and then he offered to pay her $100 for each person that she brought.¶
Q In addition to the sexual activity with Mr. Epstein, did ever involve Jane Doe Number Two in any specific activity?¶
A Yes. contacted Jane Doe Number Two by telephone and asked her to come to Mr. Epstein’s residence that Mr. Epstein wanted to take pictures of Jane Doe Number Two.¶

EFTA00085641¶
27¶
paid Jane Doe Number Two $500 to take naked photographs of Jane Doe Number Two at Mr. Epstein’s residence in and around the house and pool area at the request of Mr. Epstein.¶
Q And approximately how old or how old does Jane Doe Number Two believe she was at the time?¶
A Jane Doe Number Two informed us that she was 16 years old when took the photographs of her naked.¶
Q What did Jane Doe Number Two say about whether Jeffrey Epstein knew her true age?¶
A Jane Doe Number Two was informed by Jane Doe Number One to say if asked her age that she was — she should respond that she was 17. When they went — and went to Mr. Epstein’s residence and were upstairs performing massages, Mr. Epstein asked Jane Doe Number Two her age.¶
She responded four —. And then he said, so you’re 14? And Mr. Epstein informed Jane Doe Number Two that they would just keep that between them.¶
Q So in other words, he knew that she was 14 when she started seeing him?¶
A Yes. She did not remember to say 17 and¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085642¶
28¶
just naturally came out four —. And then he finished that statement for her, so you’re 14? And then stated that they would keep that between them.¶
Q Now is the — can you summarize — does your testimony cover the evidence supporting the allegations in Overt Acts One through 18?¶
A Yes, it does.¶
Q And if I could ask you to refer to Count Two, which appears on Page 38. Is the evidence that you have just summarized the basis for the allegation that Jeffrey Epstein and procured Jane Doe Number Two to engage in commercial sex acts knowing that she was under 18?¶
A Yes.¶
Q So is there anything else that you wanted to mention with respect to either Jane Doe Numbers One or Two?¶
A The only other thing I didn’t bring up was the gifts that Mr. Epstein provided to Jane Doe Number Two and Mr. Epstein would provide her with lingerie.¶
He gave her tickets to a concert, a local concert. He would also send her via FedEx packages to her residence, and in one of those¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085643¶
29¶
packages Jane Doe Number Two informed us that there was a Massage for Dummies book that she received by FedEx from Mr. Epstein.¶
And the grand jury should know that we have received records from FedEx which corroborate Mr. Epstein’s address and packages going to Jane Doe Number Two’s residence.¶
Q And those records relate to Mr. Epstein’s personal Federal Express account?¶
A Yes.¶
A GRAND JUROR: Jane Doe Number Two, do we know how old she was when Mr. Epstein asked her to bring younger friends? Was she already in his eyes up there and he wanted them younger?¶
THE WITNESS: When Jane Doe Number Two was 16, about midway through her 16th year, and at that point she did not provide Mr. Epstein with anymore massages.¶
So I know she went away for a time period and when she came back, you know, she and did not want to do massages anymore. So at that point, she may have brought her friends as well as prior to that.¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC¶
EFTA00085644¶
30¶
BY¶
Q Do you know exactly when she started bringing other girls?¶
A I don’t know that I want to say that it was before or after. We just know that she was asked by Mr. Epstein to bring other females and he would pay $100.¶
The only other thing we haven’t talked about is we have message pads that were recovered in the execution of the state search warrant on Mr. Epstein’s residence, and I think the grand jury has seen copies of some of those message pads.¶
We do have a message pad for Jane Doe Number Two that gives you an example of — and I can pull that out and read that to the grand jury, if you would like?¶
Q Sure.¶
A This particular message pad is basically — it’s a carbon copy message that again was recovered during the execution of the state search warrant at Mr. Epstein’s residence and this shows that this was dated on March 11, 2003.¶
It’s from with her phone number and it’s marked that she telephoned and it’s¶
OFFICIAL REPORTING SERVICE, LLC (954) 467-8204¶
EFTA00085645¶
31¶
marked, please call, and it was signed by one of Mr. Epstein’s employees. So again the date that the contact here is March 11, 2003.¶
Q And Jane Doe Number Two was still under the age of 18 at that time?¶
A Yes, she was.¶
Q Okay. Now if we could turn to Jane Doe Number Three and who is she?¶

They provided Mr. Epstein a massage in their underwear. Mr. Epstein asked Jane Doe Number Two to leave and Jane Doe Number Three finished the massage.¶
Mr. Epstein masturbated in front of Jane Doe Number Three on that first occasion, and Jane Doe Number Three, after the massage, she was paid $200 and she left the residence.¶
Q All right.¶
A On other occasions after that, would be the one to contact Jane Doe Number Three to come to the residence to provide massages for Mr. Epstein.¶

A Yes, I do.¶
Q In addition to that, the masturbation during that massage, was there other sexual activity that occurred between the two of them?¶

Q Were there girls whom Jane Doe Number Three brought to Mr. Epstein’s home whom he did not like?¶

Q And how would he express that frustration?¶
A He hung up on her. He telephoned her. He also would telephone her. and Mr. Epstein would call Jane Doe Number Three and on this particular occasion when she didn’t have a female for him, he hung up.¶
Q Now if we could go back to the girls whom Mr. Epstein didn’t like. You said older girls, girls with tattoos, and black girls. When Jane Doe Number Three brought those girls to his home, did he allow them to massage him?¶
A No.¶
Q So those girls were just sent away?¶

3 5¶
A They were, but they were paid for coming.¶
Q Now if I could just refer you to Overt Acts 29 and 31, which are on Page 12. There is a reference to two written telephone messages and could you just remind the grand jury of where that information comes from?¶
A I actually have copies. Overt Acts 29 and 31 are message pads or carbon copy messages that were found at Mr. Epstein’s residence when the Town of Palm Beach Police Department executed a state search warrant on his residence.¶
The first one, Overt Act 29, is a message dated November 8, 2004. It was taken at 1:15 p.m. The message is for Mr. Epstein from Cortney with her cell phone number and in quotations it says, I have a female for him. At the bottom is an employee of Mr. Epstein, the house manager,¶

Q Now does your testimony today summarize the evidence supporting the allegations in Overt Acts 19 through 31?¶
A Yes.¶
Q And if I could just refer you to Count 12, which appears on Pages 40 and 41 of the proposed indictment.

A Yes.¶
Q Was Jane Doe Number Three under the age of 16 during part of her interactions with Mr. Epstein?¶
