was suspicious and wondered why he would pay so much money just for a just a massage. told her it was very easy money and she was not required to do anything else but massage him. told that JEFFREY just wanted to have pretty young girls around him.¶
About a week later, called and told her that she had made an appointment for to go to JEFFREY’s house to give him a massage. had never agreed to this but felt obligated to go to the appointment now that had set it up. gave her the address of JEFFREY’s apartment which was located on 63rd street at Central Park East (from what she can recall). She also remembered the apartment was adjacent to the Ralph Lauren store in the Upper East Side, NYC. was still apprehensive about going but since the appointment was during the day she figured nothing bad could happen.¶
She recalled that the apartment was a four story brownstone and when she pressed the buzzer a maid answered the door. She noticed two security cameras facing the front doorstep. The maid asked her to sit in the foyer and then the maid left. was very nervous and she sent a text to telling her that she was nervous and was thinking about leaving. After five minutes she got up to leave but just then the maid showed up and told her that JEFFREY would be with her shortly and not to leave.¶
In a minute or so JEFFREY came downstairs and introduced himself. She described him as a man in his 60’s with salt and pepper hair and about 5’9”.

JEFFREY at no time touched her or disrobed in front of her. After 20 minutes of being massaged he got off the table and paid her $300.00 in $100.00 bills. (It should be noted that JEFFREY always paid her using $100.00 bills only).¶
After the massage was over, JEFFREY told he did not want her to massage him again because she reminded him of his niece. He told her that he wanted her to bring him other girls instead. At no time did he discuss her age or asked about the ages of her friends. He did not ask that he bring a girl with a specific hair color or age but did ask for slim and petite girls.¶
About a week later, called again and told her she had set up another appointment. had told about it and said that she should go with her and they could both make some easy money. told about her experience and since he never touched her or tried anything sexual with her, she thought it was okay to get involved.¶
The girls then went to JEFFREY’s apartment and he again led them to the massage room. He asked them both to take their clothes off which they refused. They came to a compromise and they agreed to strip down to their bras and panties. JEFFREY then went to the other room, and came back undressed with a towel wrapped around his waist.¶
The girls then began to massage him and then JEFFREY asked to leave the room and for to stay. After some time, went back into the room and she noticed that both and JEFFREY were nude. JEFFREY was on the massage table and was closer to the door. JEFFREY then paid each girl $400.00 in $100.00 bills. The girls got dressed and left JEFFREY’s home. refused to tell what had happened in the room but she seemed upset.¶

She left a message on cell phone (which is the same number she has currently) telling her that she needed to call back as soon as possible. did not return her call as she did not know who these people were. A few minutes later, called told her LNU¶
