for sexual acts.
Q. I'm asking if they performed sexual acts?
MR. PAGLIUCA: Object to the form and foundation.
Q. Did any of the massage therapists who were at the home perform sexual acts for Jeffrey Epstein?
A. I don't know what you mean by sexual acts.
Q. Did any of the massage therapists who were working at the home perform sexual acts, including touching the breasts, touching the vaginal area, being touched while Jeffrey is masturbating, having intercourse, any of those things?
MR. PAGLIUCA: Objection. Form and foundation.
To the extent any of this is asking for to your knowledge any consensual sex act that may or may not have involved you, I'm instructing you not to answer the question.
Q. I'm not asking about consensual sex
G Maxwell - Confidential acts. I'm asking whether any of the massage therapists performed sexual acts for Mr. Epstein, as I have just described?
A. I have never seen anybody have sexual intercourse with with Jeffrey, ever.
Q. I'm not asking about sexual intercourse. I'm asking about any sexual act, touching of the breast -- did you ever see -- can you read back the question?
(Record read.)
A. I'm not addressing any questions about consensual adult sex. If you want to talk about what the subject matter, which is defamation and lying, , that you and are participating in perpetrating her lies, I'm happy to address those. I never saw any inappropriate underage activities with Jeffrey ever.
Q. I'm not asking about underage. I'm asking about whether any of the masseuses that were at the home perform sexual acts for Jeffrey Epstein?
A. I have just answered the question.
Q. No, you haven't.
A. I have.
3 Q. No, you haven't.
A. Yes, I have.
Q. You are refusing to answer the question.
A. Let's move on.
Q. I'm in charge of the deposition. I say when we move on and when we don't.
You are here to respond to my questions. If you are refusing to answer the court will bring you back for another deposition to answer these questions.
Do you understand that?
MR. PAGLIUCA: You don't need to threaten the witness.
MS. McCAWLEY: I'm not threatening her. I'm making sure the record is clear.
MR. PAGLIUCA: Certainly can you apply to have someone come back and the court may or may not have her come back again.
Again, she is not answering questions that relate to adult consent
sex acts. Period. And that's the
instruction and we can take it up with the court.
Q. Ms. Maxwell, are you aware of any
sexual acts with masseuses and Jeffrey
Epstein that were nonconsensual?
A. No.
Q. How do you know that?
A. All the time that I have been in
the house I have never seen, heard, nor
witnessed, nor have reported to me that any
activities took place, that people were in
distress, either reported to me by the staff
or anyone else. I base my answer based on
that.
Q. Are you familiar with aperson by
the name of
A. I am.
Q. Has given a statement
to police about her? you performing sexual acts on
A. I have not heard that.
Q. Has given a statement

MR. PAGLIUCA: This is the same
instruction about consensual or nonconsensual.

A. No. I didn't hire her, as I said, Jeffrey did.
Q. Did ever have sex with Jeffrey?
MR. PAGLIUCA: Objection to the form and foundation.

Q. You weren't involved in the sex between Jeffrey, and yourself?
A. We already --
Q. Were you involved with sex between Jeffrey, and yourself?
MR. PAGLIUCA: Everyone is talking over each other. You heard the question.
Again, you you know what the instruction is. If there is any
consensual issue involved, I instruct
you not to answer.
A. Moving on.
Q. So you are refusing to answer that question?
A. I've been instructed by my lawyer.
Q. Did you ever have sex with Jeffrey,
, and yourself when was underage?
A. Absolutely not.
MR. PAGLIUCA: We've been going for about an hour. I would like to take a five-minute break, please.
MS. McCAWLEY: I'm almost done.
MR. PAGLIUCA: You are not going to allow abreak.
MS. McCAWLEY: As soon as I get through my line of questioning, which is perfectly appropriate.
Q. Did travel with you and Jeffrey to Europe?
A. I'm sure she did.
Q. What is she doing today?
A. I have no idea.
Q. Did you train on how to
recruit other girls to perform sexual
massages?
MR. PAGLIUCA: Objection to the
form and foundation.
A. No. And it's absurd and her entire
story is one giant tissue of lies and
furthermore, she herself has -- if she says
that, you have to ask her about what she did.
Q. Does Jeffrey like to have his
nipples pinched during sexual encounters?
MR. PAGLIUCA: Objection to form
and foundation.

my counsel. I'm not talking about any adult
sexual things when I was with him.

would he request that the masseuse pinch his
nipples while he was having a massage?
A. I'm not talking about anything with
consensual adult situation.

A. I am not aware of anything.
Q. You are not aware of Jeffrey
Q. In your responsibilities in working for Jeffrey, would you book massages for him on any given day so that he would have a massage scheduled? Would you take a call for example and book amassage for him?
MR. PAGLIUCA: Objection to the form and foundation.
Q. You can answer.
A. Typically, that was not my responsibility. He would either book the massage himself or one of his other assistants would do that.
Q. From time to time you had to do that?
MR. PAGLIUCA: Objection to the form and foundation.
A. Like I said, typically it was somebody else's responsibility.
Q. If you were unable to book agirl for a massage on agiven day, would that mean that you were responsible for giving him a sexual massage?
MR. PAGLIUCA: Objection to the form and foundation and I instruct you
not to answer any questions about any of your consensual adult sexual activity.
Q. So you are not going to answer that question?
A. You just heard my counsel.
Q. Have you ever said to anybody that recruiting other girls to perform sexual massages for Jeffrey Epstein takes the pressure off you?
MR. PAGLIUCA: Object to the form and foundation.
A. Repeat the question and break it out.
Q. Have you ever said to anybody that you recruit girls --
A. Stop right there. I never recruited girls, let's stop there. Now breakdown the question.
Q. Have you ever said to anybody --
A. By girls, we are talking about underage people -- you said girls, are you talking about underage -- we are not talking about consensual acts -- this is adefamation suit.

relationship with him?
MR. PAGLIUCA: If you understand
the term relationship, certainly you can answer that.
A. Define relationship.
Q. Somebody that you would have spent time together, either seeing them in a romantic relationship or --
A. You need to be, what do you mean by romantic. I was friends with Mut you are suggesting something more so I want to be clear what you are actually asking me.

Epstein, did she perform massages, anything
else?
MR. PAGLIUCA: Objection to the

any firm recollection, but I believe she went
to school and became amasseuse and I had
massages from her.
