1 MR. RHEINHART: Same instruction. 2 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my 3 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment 4 privilege. 5 BY MR. KUVIN: 6 Q. Have you ever worked as a professional 7 model? 8 MR. RHEINHART: May I consult? 9 MR. KUVIN: Sure. 10 MR. RHEINHART: You can answer the 11 question. 12 THE WITNESS: Yes. 13 BY MR. KUVIN: 14 Q. When? 15 A. I don't remember. I don't remember the dates. 16 It was at least maybe ten years ago. 17 Q. And you're how old now? 18 MR. RHEINHART: I'll instruct the witness 19 not to answer the question. Nice try. 20 Instruct you not to answer based on 21 your Fifth Amendment privilege. 22 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my 23 lawyer, I'm going to invoke my Fifth Amendment 24 privilege. 25 MR. KUVIN: I'm just trying to find out¶
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 assumes facts that have not been established and it's compound. THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege. MR. RHEINHART: And to clarify the objection is that it assumes that she's ever met or knows anything about Jean-Luc Brunel. BY MR. KUVIN: Q. Were you ever promised anything regarding your modeling career by Jeffrey Epstein? MR. RHEINHART: Same objection, instruct the witness not to answer. THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege. BY MR. KUVIN: Q. You would agree with me that there is a financial arrangement between Jean-Luc Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein, do you not? MR. RHEINHART: Objection. It assumes she has any knowledge of either Mr. Epstein or Mr. Brunel, and as to that she is going to invoke her Fifth Amendment privilege. The question is compound and therefore ambiguous.¶
1 MR. RHEINHART: Like I said, good try. 2 Move on. 3 BY MR. KUVIN: 4 Q. With respect to your work as a 5 professional model, what company did you work for? 6 MR. RHEINHART: Instruct the witness not 7 to answer based on the Fifth Amendment 8 privilege. 9 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my 10 lawyer, I invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege. 11 BY MR. KUVIN: 12 Q. What is your understanding of 13 Mr. Epstein's involvement with the modeling 14 industry? 15 MR. RHEINHART: Standing objection, and 16 instruct the witness not to answer based on 17 Fifth Amendment, on that basis. 18 THE WITNESS: Upon the instruction of my 19 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment 20 privilege. 21 BY MR. KUVIN: 22 Q. Were you ever promised anything regarding 23 your modeling career by Jean-Luc Brunel? 24 MR. RHEINHART: Instruct the witness not 25 to answer based on Fifth Amendment, also¶
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege. BY MR. KUVIN: Q. Would you agree with me that Ghislaine Maxwell provides underage girls to Mr. Epstein for sex? MR. RHEINHART: Objection to the form. It assumes she knows anything at all about Ghislaine Maxwell and asks her to assume that she does, and therefore it is compound and ambiguous, and I would instruct her not to answer. THE WITNESS: Upon the instruction of my lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege. MR. KUVIN: That's a good point. Take a look at what we'll mark as Exhibit 10. (Plaintiffs Exhibit No. 10 was marked for identification.) MR. KUVIN: All me to show it to the camera first. MR. RHEINHART: Okay. MR. KUVIN: Okay. THE WITNESS: Okay.¶
1 BY MR. KUVIN:
2 Q. Take a look at what we marked as Exhibit
3 10. Do you recognize the two people in that
4 photograph?
5 MR. RHEINHART: I'll instruct the witness
6 not to answer based on her Fifth Amendment
7 privilege.
8 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my
9 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment
10 privilege.
11 BY MR. KUVIN:
12 Q. Would you agree with me that's
13 Ghislaine Maxwell on the right and Jeffrey Epstein
14 on the left?
15 MR. RHEINHART: Objection to the form. It
16 assumes that she knows who Ghislaine Maxwell
17 and Jeffrey Epstein are, and therefore it's
18 compound and ambiguous, and I would instruct
19 her not to answer.
20 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my
21 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment
22 privilege.
23 MR. KUVIN: Okay. I will mark this as
24 Exhibit 11.
25¶
1 You're asking the witness three
2 questions at the same time, and I would
3 instruct her not to answer based on the
4 Fifth Amendment.
5 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my
6 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment
7 privilege.
8 MR. KUVIN: Just so we're clear, had she
9 answered the first two questions, then
10 obviously I wouldn't have to ask the third one
11 that has all of them in it but --
12 MR. RHEINHART: If you had accepted her
13 answer, you would have known that she wasn't
14 going to answer these, and we could have saved
15 a few minutes.
16 MR. KUVIN: And as you well know, I must
17 ask the question in order to gain the inference
18 at trial.
19 MR. RHEINHART: I understand.
20 MR. KUVIN: All right.
21 (Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 12 was marked for
22 identification.)
23 BY MR. KUVIN:
24 Q. Do you recognize the gentleman that is
25 shown --¶
1 (Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 11 was marked for
2 identification.)
3 BY MR. KUVIN:
4 Q. Let me show you what we marked as
5 Exhibit 11. Hang on one second.
6 MR. RHEINHART: Sure.
7 BY MR. KUVIN:
8 Q. Do you recognize the young lady shown in
9 Exhibit 11?
10 MR. RHEINHART: I'll instruct the witness
11 not to answer based on her Fifth Amendment
12 privilege.
13 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my
14 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment
15 privilege.
16 BY MR. KUVIN:
17 Q. Do you agree with me that the young girl
18 shown in Exhibit 11 was recruited by Ghislaine
19 Maxwell to, for sexual activity with
20 Jeffrey Epstein?
21 MR. RHEINHART: Objection to the form. It
22 assumes she knows who the person is in Exhibit
23 11, and assumes she knows who Ghislaine Maxwell
24 is, and assumes she knows who Jeffrey Epstein
25 is, and is therefore compound.¶
1 MR. RHEINHART: We'll have a job here.
2 MR. KUVIN: That is true.
3 BY MR. KUVIN:
4 Q. -- that is shown in Exhibit 12?
5 MR. KUVIN: Let me hold this for the
6 camera first.
7 MR. RHEINHART: I'm sorry. Is there a
8 question pending?
9 MR. KUVIN: Yes.
10 BY MR. KUVIN:
11 Q. Do you recognize the gentleman shown in
12 Exhibit 12?
13 MR. RHEINHART: I instruct her not to
14 answer based on the Fifth Amendment.
15 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my
16 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment
17 privilege.
18 BY MR. KUVIN:
19 Q. Would you agree with me that that is
20 Prince Andrew shown in Exhibit 12?
21 MR. RHEINHART: Same instruction.
22 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my
23 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment
24 privilege.
25¶
1 BY MR. KUVIN: 2 Q. Would you agree with me that you have been 3 present where Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew have 4 had sexual relations with underage girls? 5 MR. RHEINHART: Objection to the form, 6 it's compound in that it assumes she knows who 7 the person is in Picture 12, she knows who B Prince Andrew is, and she knows who Jeffrey 9 Epstein is. It's compound and ambiguous, and 10 PII instruct her not to answer based on her 11 Fifth Amendment. 12 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my 13 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment 14 privilege. 15 BY MR. KUVIN: 16 Q. Would you agree with me that Prince Andrew 17 and Jeffrey Epstein used to share underaged girls 18 for sexual relations? 19 MR. RHEINHART: Same objection previously 20 stated, requires her to also speculate who 21 Prince Andrew is. I instruct her not to answer 22 based on the Fifth Amendment. 23 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my 24 lawyer, I must invoice my Fifth Amendment 25 privilege.¶
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 break now. MR. KUVIN: Okay. THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We're now off video record. The time is 11:57 am. (A luncheon recess was held.) (Plaintiffs Exhibit No's 4 was marked for identification.) (Plaintiffs Exhibit No. 5 was marked for identification.) • THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We're now on video record. The time is 1:02 p.m. MR. KUVIN: All right, counsel. I'm going to ask a couple more general questions, and then when we get into the specifics of the individual girls, I just want to make sure, once again, on the record, as we've done in every deposition in this case, that we'll use the Plaintiff's full name with the understanding that the final transcript will only contain their initials, and there will be a key at the conclusion that's only provided to the parties in this case and their counsel to be kept confidential going forward. But obviously, for the purposes of this deposition, we will be using full names.¶
1 MR. RHEINHART: Also requires speculation 2 as to who Jeffrey Epstein is as well. 3 BY MR. KUVIN: 4 Q. Do you know who Prince Andrew is? 5 MR. RHEINHART: I'll instruct her not to 6 answer based on the Fifth Amendment. 7 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my 8 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment 9 privilege. 10 MR. KUVIN: It's almost 12:00. Do you 11 want to take a quick lunch? 12 MR. RHEINHART: Sure. How much longer do 13 you think you will be, Mr. Kuvin, before we go 14 on to other counsel? 15 MR. KUVIN: Probably not that much longer. 16 MR. RHEINHART: Okay. 17 MR. KUVIN: I have to get through a couple 18 of more generic stuff, and then get into the 19 specifics of my cases and then — 20 MR. RHEINHART: Okay. So, we, but just so 21 we have a sense of planning whether this is the 22 right time for a lunch break. You're not going 23 to finish in the next 15 or 20 minutes? 24 MR. KUVIN: No, not even close. 25 MR. RHEINHART: Okay. Let's take a lunch¶
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 MR. RHEINHART: Agreed. MR. KUVIN: Okay. Is there any disagreement with that around the table? MR. HOROWITZ: Agreed. MR. WEISSING: Agreed. MS. EZELL: Agreed. MR. KUVIN: Jack, do you agree to the -- MR. GOLDBERGER: I thought I'm not a part of it. MR. KUVIN: Well, you've been playing a part, so I want to make sure you agree. MR. GOLDBERGER: Yeah, I agree. I agree. MR. RHEINHART: Hold on. Let me just explain to her what we're talking about. MR. KUVIN: Please do. MR. RHEINHART: But when the transcript is typed up, it won't have her name it will just have initials. But we'll get a code that explains the name. So that way you would be asked if you recognize the name not a set of initials that you may not understand or a Jane Doe number that you do not know. MR. KUVIN: That's way too confusing. Okay? MR. RHEINHART: Correct.¶
1 BY MR. KUVIN:
2 Q. Let's take a look at what I've marked --
3 premarked as Exhibit 4. It's a stack of documents,
4 just so you understand what this is and your
5 attorney can object or agree or disagree as he sees
6 fit, but this is a stack of documents that was part
7 of the trash pull from Jeffrey Epstein's home as
8 part of the criminal investigation. Just so you're
9 aware of what these are.
10 MR. RHEINHART: That was retrieved, that
11 was retrieved by the Palm Beach Police
12 Department from the trash --
13 MR. KUVIN: That's correct.
14 MR. RHEINHART: -- at the home of what is
15 known to be Mr. Epstein's home?
16 MR. KUVIN: Correct.
17 MR. RHEINHART: Okay.
18 MR. KUVIN: All right. And that's not a
19 question. I just wanted to kind of give you a
20 context for what I'm going to be asking you
21 about.
22 MR. RHEINHART: Thank you.
23 BY MR. KUVIN:
24 Q. All right. In taking a look at Exhibit 4,
25 I'd like you to take a look at the front page, the¶
1 objection to the form.
2 THE WITNESS: At the instruction of my
3 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment
4 privilege.
5 BY MR. KUVIN:
6 Q. Yes. Do you know [REDACTED]?
7 MR. RHEINHART: Instruct the witness not
8 to answer the question based on her Fifth
9 Amendment privilege.
10 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my
11 lawyer, I must exercise my Fifth Amendment
12 privilege.
13 BY MR. KUVIN:
14 Q. Will you agree with me that on the first
15 page of Exhibit 4, you were to arrange for roses to
16 be delivered to Jane Doe No. 103 at her high school
17 performance?
18 MR. RHEINHART: Objection to the form.
19 It's compound in that it assumes this is the
20 witness's handwriting and assumes the witness
21 knows a person by the name of Jane Doe No. 103
22 and the witness otherwise knows Jeffrey Epstein
23 whose name is at the bottom of the paper, and
24 therefore, it's compound and ambiguous, and
25 instruct her not to answer.¶
1 first page of those documents.
2 Is that your handwriting, [REDACTED]?
3 MR. RHEINHART: Instruct the witness not
4 to answer based on the Fifth Amendment
5 privilege.
6 THE WITNESS: At the instruction of my
7 lawyer, I must exercise my Fifth Amendment
8 right.
9 BY MR. KUVIN:
10 Q. And, in fact, that is your handwriting on
11 this notepad, is it not?
12 MR. RHEINHART: Same instruction. It's
13 the same question.
14 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my
15 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment right.
16 BY MR. KUVIN:
17 Q. In this note do you agree that you
18 arranged for an extension of one month on the rental
19 car for a young lady under the age of 16?
20 MR. RHEINHART: Objection to the form. It
21 is compound. It assumes that this is her
22 handwriting. It doesn't identify who the young
23 lady might be, and it's otherwise ambiguous, so
24 I instruct her not to answer on the Fifth
25 Amendment privilege in addition to the legal¶
1 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my
2 lawyer, I must exercise my Fifth Amendment
3 right.
4 MR. KUVIN: I forgot to mention this at
5 the beginning, but objection to form usually
6 covers all that stuff like vague and compound,
7 and --
8 MR. RHEINHART: Okay.
9 MR. KUVIN: -- I'll leave it up to you,
10 but objection to form as far as the civil arena
11 context will cover all of those.
12 MR. RHEINHART: Just figured I'd make the
13 record clear in case we ever have an issue, or
14 in case you want to correct it based on what I
15 believe to be the improper form, I will give
16 you a chance to correct it.
17 BY MR. KUVIN:
18 Q. No problem. All right. On Page 2 of
19 Exhibit 4, if you'd take a look at that. Is that
20 your handwriting?
21 MR. RHEINHART: Instruct the witness not
22 to answer based on the Fifth Amendment
23 privilege.
24 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my
25 lawyer, I choose to exercise my Fifth Amendment¶
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 1 MR. RHEINHART: Objection to the form and 2 instruct the witness not to answer based upon 3 her Fifth Amendment privilege. 4 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my 5 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment right. 6 BY MR. KUVIN: 7 Q. Would you agree with me that Larry was 8 calling to warn Mr. Epstein to leave town because he was going to be arrested? MR. RHEINHART: Objection to the form. The question assumes facts that are not before her, and it requires her to speculate, and also implies that she knows anything at all about Jeffrey Epstein, so I will instruct her not to answer. THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my lawyer, I wish to exercise my Fifth Amendment right. BY MR. KUVIN: Q. Take a look at Page 3 of Exhibit 4, please. Is that your handwriting? MR. RHEINHART: I'll instruct her not to answer based on the Fifth Amendment privilege. MR. KUVIN: Before we do that, would you consult with her?¶
1 right. 2 BY MR. KUVIN: 3 Q. Do you know who Larry is, as referred to 4 in Page 2 of Exhibit 4? 5 MR. RHEINHART: Fm sorry. Can you -- 6 BY MR. KUVIN: 7 Q. Do you know who — 8 MR. RHEINHART: — restate the question? 9 BY MR. KUVIN: 10 Q. Do you know who Larry is as referred to in 11 Page 2 of Exhibit 4? 12 MR. RHEINHART: So, just so I'm clear, 13 what the question is, the document on its face 14 has the name Larry in it. You're just asking 15 this witness whether she knows who this person 16 Larry is? 17 MR. KUVIN: Correct. 18 MR. RHEINHART: Instruct the witness not 19 to answer based on her Fifth Amendment 20 privilege. 21 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my 22 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment right. 23 BY MR. KUVIN: 24 Q. Do you know why Larry was recommending 25 that Mr. Epstein leave?¶
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 MR. RHEINHART: Okay. I would be happy to. MR. KUVIN: I just want to clarify, because I don't think -- MR. RHEINHART: Okay. MR. KUVIN: I don't think this is a problem, but I just want to clear it up. MR. RHEINHART: Thank you, Mr. Kuvin. I'll let her answer that question. MR. KUVIN: Not a problem. MR. RHEINHART: So the question pending is, is that your handwriting? MR. KUVIN: Correct. BY MR. KUVIN: Q. Is this your handwriting? Just yes or no. A. No. Q. Okay. Thank you. All right. Let's look at Page 4 of Exhibit 4. All right. This one's a little different. Is this your handwriting? MR. RHEINHART: Let me consult with her again. Okay. That's fine. You can answer the question consistent with the conversation we just had. THE WITNESS: No.¶

1 BY MR. KUVIN: 2 Q. Do you know who Danielle is as referred to 3 in this note of Page 4 of Exhibit 4? 4 MR. RHEINHART: Instruct the witness not 5 to answer based on her Fifth Amendment 6 privilege. 7 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my 8 lawyer, I must exercise my Fifth Amendment 9 right. 10 BY MR. KUVIN: 11 Q. All right. Lets look at Page 5, 12 Exhibit 4. 13 Before we go to Page 5, rather, going 14 back to Page 4 for a minute. Will you agree with me 15 that Danielle as referred to in Page 4 of Exhibit 4 16 is a girl that is under the age of 16? 17 MR. RHEINHART: Object to the form. You 18 previously asked if she knew who Danielle was, 19 and she invoked her Fifth Amendment privilege. 20 Since the new question presumes that she does 21 know who Danielle is she is going to invoke her 22 Fifth Amendment privilege upon my instruction. 23 MR. KUVIN: All right. Let's look at 24 Page 5. 25 MR. RHEINHART: Let her answer.¶
1 MR. KUVIN: I'm sorry, go ahead. 2 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my 3 lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth Amendment 4 privilege. 5 BY MR. KUVIN: 6 Q. All right. Take a look at Page 5, if you 7 would. Have you ever ordered anything, anything 8 yourself from Amazon.com? 9 MR. RHEINHART: You're asking for herself 10 or anyone else if she has ever placed an order 11 with Amazon.com for any reason? 12 MR. KUVIN: I am asking whether she 13 personally has ever placed an order with a 14 company called Amazon.com. 15 MR. RHEINHART: Yes or no. You can answer 16 that. 17 THE WITNESS: Yes. 18 BY MR. KUVIN: 19 Q. Okay. So you would agree with me that you 20 know what Amazon.com is? 21 A. Yes. 22 Q. Okay. Now, have you ever placed an order 23 through Amazon.com for things to be delivered at 24 358 El Brillo Way? 25 MR. RHEINHART: Instruct the witness to¶
1 that Page 5 of Exhibit 4 appears to be a receipt for 2 books ordered through Amazon.com? 3 MR. RHEINHART: You can answer that yes or 4 no. 5 THE WITNESS: It looks like a receipt from 6 Amazon. 7 BY MR. KUVIN: 8 Q. Okay. And did you place this order for 9 Jeffrey Epstein? 10 MR. RHEINHART: Instruct the witness not 11 to answer the question in that the question 12 presumes that she knows who Jeffrey Epstein is, 13 and therefore, I instruct her not to answer. 14 THE WITNESS: On advice of counsel, I must 15 invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege. 16 BY MR. KUVIN: 17 Q. Have you ever read the book identified in 18 Page 5 of Exhibit 4 called Slave Craft: Road Maps 19 for Erotic Servitude - Principals, Skills and Tools? 20 MR.

Will you agree with me 8 MR. RHEINHART: I'm sorry, Mr. Kuvin, for, 9 for the record, the page, pages of this exhibit 10 are not numbered, but the page we're looking at 11 purports to be a receipt for an order from 12 Amazon.com; is that correct? 13 MR. KUVIN: Correct. I just want her to 14 establish foundation before I got into 15 specifics. 16 MR. RHEINHART: No, but you referred to it 17 as Page 5, but they are not numbered, so I just 18 wanted to make sure that we're looking at the 19 same page on the exhibit. 20 MR. KUVIN: That is true. I'm just trying 21 to establish foundation for the questions I'm 22 about to ask her. 23 MR. RHEINHART: Understood. 24 BY MR. KUVIN: 25 Q. All right. would you agree with me¶
1 BY MR. KUVIN: 2 Q. Did you ever see that book I just 3 described at the home of Jeffrey Epstein on 4 358 El Brillo Way? 5 MR. RHEINHART: Objection to the form in 6 that it presumes she knows Jeffrey Epstein and 7 has ever been to 358 El Brillo Way. So, I 8 instruct her not to answer based on the Fifth 9 Amendment 10 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my 11 lawyer, I must choose to invoke my Fifth 12 Amendment right. 13 BY MR. KUVIN: 14 Q. Have you ever seen the book, Training With 15 Miss Abernathy: A Workbook for Erotic Slaves and 16 Their Owners, at the home of Jeffrey Epstein on 17 358 El Brillo Way? 18 MR. RHEINHART: Same objection and same 19 instruction as the previous question. 20 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my 21 lawyer, I must choose to invoke my Fifth 22 Amendment right. 23 BY MR. KUVIN: 24 Q. Have you ever read that book that I just 25 described which is shown in Page 5 of Exhibit 4?¶
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 1 MR. RHEINHART: Same instruction. 2 THE WITNESS: On the instruction of my 3 lawyer, I must choose to invoke my Fifth 4 Amendment right. 5 BY MR. KUVIN: 6 Q. Let's look at the sixth page of Exhibit 4, 7 please. Is that your handwriting? 8 A. No. Q. All right. Let's look at Page 7. Is that your handwriting? A. No. Q. Okay. Look at the next page which would be Page 8. Is that your handwriting? A. No. Q. Let's see how much quicker this goes. Let's look at Page 9. Is that your handwriting? A. No. Q. Look at Page 9 again, if you would. MR. RHEINHART: When you say Page 9, that's the page that purports to say 10:00. MR. KUVIN: Dr. Bard. MR. RHEINHART: -- Dr. Bard at the top? MR. KUVIN: Correct. MR. RHEINHART: Okay.¶
1 BY MR. KUVIN: 2 Q. This note, Page 9 of Exhibit 4, appears to 3 state that Sarah is trying to move -- and then 4 there's a blanked out name, for II then Brittany 5 could work at 6. Do you know anyone with the name 6 Brittany? 7 MR. RHEINHART: If she knows anyone in the 8 world by that name? 9 MR. KUVIN: Yeah. We could start with 10 that. 11 MR. RHEINHART: Pm saying, in the 12 context, are you asking in the context of this 13 note which you just read, or are you asking, 14 generically, does she know anyone in the world 15 by the name of Brittany? 16 MR. KUVIN: Why don't we first do it in 17 the context of this note. 18 BY MR. KUVIN: 19 Q. Is this note referring to you when it 20 says, "Sarah"? 21 MR. RHEINHART: Instruct the witness not 22 to answer based on her Fifth Amendment 23 privilege. 24 THE WITNESS: On the advice of counsel, I 25 must invoke my Fifth Amendment right.¶
1 BY MR. KUVIN: 2 Q. Do you know who Dr. Bard is? 3 MR. RHEINHART: Instruct the witness not 4 to answer based on the Fifth Amendment, because 5 this sheet of paper has Jeffrey Epstein's name 6 on the bottom, so the question implies that she 7 knows some connection between Dr. Bard and 8 Mr. Epstein. 9 MR.

5 simply meant to harass her. And you can define
6 the term in your question.
7 MR. KUVIN: Well, with all due respect,
8 it's certainly not to harass if there have been
9 girls that were alleging that they were raped.
10 MR. RHEINHART: Well, you define what you
11 mean by when you say that they allege that they
12 have been raped, and she will be happy to
13 evaluate your question.
14 MR. KUVIN: And that's what I'm trying to
15 understand.
16 MR. RHEINHART: She's not going to
17 speculate on what you mean when you frame a
18 word in your question.
19 MR. KUVIN: That's exactly what I'm trying
20 to do. I'm trying to make sure that we are
21 using the same definition, so I would like to
22 use her definition of the word.
23 MR. RHEINHART: Right. She's not going to
24 answer it, so you can either move on we can
25 stop.¶
1 MR. KUVIN: Okay. So you're instructing
2 her not to answer the question?
3 MR. RHEINHART: I am instructing her not
4 to answer the question for the third time.
5 MR. KUVIN: Okay. I just want to be
6 clear.
7 MR. [REDACTED]: What's the legal objection?
8 MR. RHEINHART: I've already stated what
9 my legal objection is. It's meant solely for
10 harassment. It's not likely to lead to
11 discoverable evidence.
12 BY MR. KUVIN:
13 Q. Okay. For the purpose of my question, I
14 would like to, because your attorney won't allow you
15 to define the word "rape," I would like you to use
16 the word and understand the word "rape" to mean
17 sexual contact with an individual, including
18 sexual -- well, let me clarify here. Hang on. You
19 know what, if we're going to do it, let's do it
20 right since we can't use your definition.
21 MR. RHEINHART: You can use whatever
22 definition you like, but you need to tell me
23 what it is.
24 MR. KUVIN: Let's use the definition of
25 "rape" as defined by Florida law as oral, anal¶
1 or vaginal penetration or union with the sexual
2 organ of another, or oral, anal or vaginal
3 penetration of another with any other object,
4 or with any object. Excuse me. All right?
5 MR. RHEINHART: Okay.
6 BY MR. KUVIN:
7 Q. Do you understand that definition as I
8 have explained it to you, or would you like me to
9 read it again?
10 A. Read it again, please.
11 Q. Absolutely. Florida law defines "rape" as
12 oral, anal or vaginal penetration by, or union with
13 the sexual organ of another; or oral, anal or
14 vaginal penetration by another with any object. And
15 obviously that is without the other's consent.
16 A. You did not say that.
17 MR. RHEINHART: Okay.
18 BY MR. KUVIN:
19 Q. Adding without the other's consent,
20 obviously, to that definition.
21 Now, let's use that definition for
22 "rape," because that's as it's defined by Florida
23 law. Using that definition, are you aware, as you
24 sit here today, that Jeffrey Epstein has raped
25 underage girls?¶
