RODRIGUEZ noted that some of the names or contacts on the lists were not contained within the black book. RODRIGUEZ explained that the names of girls on the handwritten lists came from his personal notes regarding payments he had made to girls during his employment with EPSTEIN. RODRIGUEZ explained that EPSTEIN would instruct him to go to the bank and withdraw a specified amount of funds. or GHISLAINE MAXWELL would then instruct RODRIGUEZ as to whom to make payment and in what amount.¶

He reported seeing naked girls he believed to be underage at the pool area of the home. In addition, RODRIGUEZ described seeing pornographic images of girls on computers in the house. Regarding the computers in the house, RODRIGUEZ explained that after hurricanes in 2004 or 2005, a computer technician or specialist based in Ohio or having some connection to Ohio came to the home and performed repair or maintenance on the computers.¶
RODRIGUEZ explained that there appeared to be two distinct groups of girls that would frequent the house.
