Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 1 of 34 EXHIBIT 1 To JANE DOE NO. 1 AND JANE DOE NO. 2'S RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE SUPPLEMENT TO REPLY IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR LIMITED INTERVENTION BY ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ EFTA01081604 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 2 of 34 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA Case No. 9:08.80736-Civ-Marra/Johnson JANE DOE #1 and JANE DOE #2 v. UNITED STATES JANE DOE NO. 1 AND JANE DOE NO. 2'S RESPONSE TO SUPPLEMENT IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR LMITED INTERVENTION BY ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ COME NOW Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2 (the "current victims"), by and through undersigned counsel, to file this response to the Supplement to Reply in Support of Motion for Limited Intervention by Alan Dershowitz (DE 317-1). Dershowitz claims that an affidavit submitted by Jane Doe No. 3 in support of an unrelated pleading proves that she is "lying with respect to her claims against [him]." DE 317-1 at 1. The affidavit proves nothing of the sort. Indeed, if recent pleadings show anything, it is that Dershowitz continues to hide the truth about his activities. Before turning to the specifics of what Dershowitz argues in his supplement, it is even more important to consider what he fails to argue. In neither his original reply (DE 306) nor his recent supplement (DE 317-1) has Dershowitz provided specific evidence to contest Jane Doe No. 3's allegations that he sexually molested her. This omission is revealing, because Dershowitz has repeatedly claimed in the media that he has irrefutable proof that her allegations are false. For example, on January 7, 2015, on the Fox Business (Lou Dobbs) program, Dershowitz stated: "I did the investigation in a day and was able to prove through all kinds of I EFTA01081605 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 3 of 34 records that I couldn't have been in these places. The woman is a serial liar. If [Cassell and Edwards] had done that investigation, they would have come to the same conclusion."' Similarly, on January 8, 2015, on the Greta van Susteren show on FOX, Dershowitz claimed: "Now I can prove through documentary evidence that I was never at the times and places she [Jane Doe No. 3] alleges she had sex with me.i2 Yet despite having publicly claimed to have "all kinds of records" and "documentary evidence" that "prove" Jane Doe No. 3 is lying, Dershowitz has yet to produce a single document to this Court. Dershowitz's intransigence is not limited to this case, as he has also refused to comply with discovery requests in a parallel defamation action in state court. His refusal has led to a pending motion to compel. See Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Production of Documents, Edwards v. Dershowitz, No. CACE 15- 000072 (Feb. 23, 2015) (attached as Exhibit 1) ("despite having had 45 days to gather materials that allegedly provide `absolute proof' than he has never even met Jane Doe No. 3 — and despite having told numerous media sources that he had already collected such information — Dershowitz has provided none of these documents . . . .").3 The Court should draw the obvious inference that Dershowitz, despite making broad claims to the media, has no such evidence to produce — because Jane Doe No. 3's allegations are true. I http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/3976630676001/alan-dershowitz-the-woman-is-a-serial- liar/? - sp=show-clips. 2 http://radio.foxnews.cotn/2015/01/08/greta-alan-dershowitz-this-time-its-personall. 3 Jane Doe No. 3 explained in her earlier response that the Court should not allow Dershowitz to intervene here because he can protect his (alleged) reputational interests in the pending defamation action. DE 291 at 11-12). The Court may be interested to learn that Dershowitz has recently filed a counterclaim against Edwards and Cassell for defaming him in that action — suggesting he can litigate his reputational interests there, and thus has no need to do so here. 2 EFTA01081606 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 4 of 34 In his most recent supplemental filing with this court (DE 317-1), Dershowitz twists the facts and jumps to conclusions in service of his crusade against Jane Doe No. 3. For example, Dershowitz notes that Jane Doe No. 3 told attorney Edwards before April 2011 that Dershowitz had abused her, but then says "she and Edwards sat on this highly charged accusation for three years and eight months before first using it in their [sic] pleading filed on December 30, 2014. This constitutes laches that prejudiced . . . Dershowitz . . . ." DE 317-1 at 2. Dershowitz ignores the key fact that in April 2011, attorney Edwards did not represent Jane Doe No. 3. Accordingly, he could not "sit" on her claims against Dershowitz because he was not empowered, at that time, to pursue them." With regard to the claim of laches, Dershowitz argues that he has been prejudiced because if the allegations had been filed earlier, "he would have been in a far better position to secure travel and other records needed to disprove these charges." DE 317-1 at 2. But, as noted above, Dershowitz has already told worldwide news media that he has already collected all of the records and can provide irrefutable, documentary proof that Jane Doe No. 3 is lying. For example, Dershowitz has told the Boston Globe that "he will use his travel and credit card records, which he said he has fastidiously saved, to refute the allegations against him."5 4 Nor did Jane Doe No. 3 sit on any claims against Dershowitz, notably claims relating to the CVRA case. In 2011, Jane Doe No. 3 lacked legal counsel regarding the CVRA claim. It was not until her recent return from Australia to the United States that she understood the claims involved in the CVRA action and obtained legal counsel to pursue them. See DE 310-1 at 8,1 57. 5 "Dershowitz `thrilled' to be sued for defamation," Boston Globe (Jan. 7, 2015), available at, http://www.bostonglobe.cornimetro/2015/01/06/sued-for-defamation-dershowitz- thrilled-chance-question-lawyers-sex-crime-accuser/21QibSrwNC343eKMadWNeUstory.html. 3 EFTA01081607 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 5 of 34 Dershowitz can't have it both ways — simultaneously claiming he has the records and that he is harmed in collecting them — and the Court should not credit his conflicting positions. CONCLUSION The Court should deny Dershowitz's motion to intervene. DATED: March 24. 2015 Respectfully Submitted, /s/ Bradley J. Edwards Bradley J.

EDWARDS and PAUL G. CASSELL, Plaintiff(s), vs. ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ, Defendant(s). PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS Plaintiffs, Bradley J. Edwards and Paul G. Cassell, by through their undersigned attorneys, move to compel production of documents relevant to this action that defendant Alan M. Dershowitz has refused to produce. Dershowitz has told numerous media sources that he has collected documents that provide "absolute proof" that he has not sexually abused a minor woman known as "Jane Doe No. 3." And yet despite having received a valid discovery request for these and other related documents more than 45 days ago, Dershowitz has refused to produce these documents to Edwards and Cassell. Indeed, he has refused to produce any documents to them. Accordingly, the Court should direct Dershowitz to produce these materials forthwith, as well as order him to pay reasonable costs and attorneys' fees necessitated by his refusal to make any appropriate document production. EFTA01081611 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 9 of 34 Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz Case No.: CACE 15-000072 Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents FACTUAL BACKGROUND On December 30, 2014, Jane Doe No. 3 filed a motion (and later a corrected motion) seeking to join a case in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Jane Doe Nos. 1 and 2 v. United States, No. 9:08-cv-80736. She was represented by two attorneys who specialize in (among other things) representing crime victims, Bradley J. Edwards and Paul G. Cassell. The case involved an attempt to rescind a non-prosecution agreement (NPA) barring the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal associates on grounds that the victims' rights under the Crime Victims Rights Act (CVRA) had been violated. In her corrected motion, Docket Entry (DE) 280, Jane Doe No. 3 briefly proffered the circumstances that would qualify her as a "victim" eligible to assert rights under the CVRA. See 18 U.S.C. 3771(e) (defining a CVRA "victim"). Jane Doe No. 3 briefly explained that when she was a minor, Jeffrey Epstein had trafficked her to Prince Andrew and Alan Dershowitz (among others) for sexual purposes. The motion also provided specific reasons why Jane Doe No. 3's participation was relevant to the case, including the pending discovery issues regarding Prince Andrew and Dershowitz. See DE 280 at 9-10 (explaining several reasons participation of new victims was relevant to existing issues). After the motion was filed, Dershowitz made numerous media statements about the filing — and defamatory statements about Edwards and Cassell. For example, on CNN on January 5, 2015, Dershowitz stated that Edwards and Cassell are "prepared to lie, cheat, and steal. These are unethical lawyers." 2 EFTA01081612 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 10 of 34 Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz Case No.: CACE 15-000072 Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/20 1 5/0 1 /05/wm-uk-sex-abuse-allegations-alan-dershowitz- intv.cnn In the course of defaming Edwards and Cassell, Dershowitz also made numerous representations that he had collected documents proving that he had never even met Jane Doe No. 3, much less sexually abused her. For example, on the same CNN program on January 5, Dershowitz stated: "No, never met her [Jane Doe No. 3], I didn't know what she looked like until I saw her photograph. . . . I have a superb memory. I have a memory of not having met her. I did not meet her. And believe me, I remember everybody I've ever had sex with. . . . I can prove it by flight records. I can prove it by my travel records." Id. (emphasis added). Dershowitz went on to say that disproving Jane Doe No. 3's allegations was a simple task requiring about one hour of work: "If they [Edwards and Cassell] had just done an hours' worth of work, they would have seen she is lying through her teeth." Id. That same day, on NBC's Today Show, Dershowitz repeated his claim that it was a simple matter to collect documents disproving allegations made by Jane Doe No. 3: Her lawyers Paul Cassell, a former Federal judge and Brad Edwards, deliberately and willfully filed this pleading which they knew I had no opportunity to respond to in court, without doing any investigation, if they had simply investigated the manifests of the airplanes, if they had checked my travel records, if they had asked me and I could have given the names of these people who are witnesses, they would know the stories, totally, completelyfalse. hutas://www.voutube.com/watch?v=ZXePKTwsOf0 3 EFTA01081613 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 11 of 34 Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz Case No.: CACE 15-000072 Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents Two days later, Dershowitz told Lou Dobbs on Fox Business, that he had already completed his investigation and had "all kinds of records" proving that Jane Doe No. 3 was a liar: They [Edwards and Cassell] did it for crass financial and political reasons. More to the point is [what] they didn't do... / did the investigation in a day and was able to prove through all kinds of records that I couldn't have been in these places. The woman is a serial liar. If they had done that investigation, they would have come to the same conclusion. http://video. fox busi ness.coin/v/3976630676001/alan-dershowitz-the-woman-is-a-serial-1iar/? - sp=show-clips. In response to the CVRA motion that Edwards and Cassell had made for Jane Doe No. 3, on January 5, 2015, Dershowitz filed a motion to intervene in the case to respond, along with an affidavit claiming that he had not sexually abused Jane Doe No. 3. In that affidavit, Dershowitz stated that "[i]f [Edwards and Cassell] had done any reasonable investigation of their client's false allegations, they would have found absolute proof that I did not [sexually abuse her] . . . even the most minimal of investigation would have proven conclusively that I could not have had sex with their client on Mr Epstein's island, in New Mexico or on the airplanes; and that I did not have sex with her in his New York or Palm Beach homes." DE 282-1 at U 8. On January 6, 2015, plaintiffs Edwards and Cassell filed their complaint in this action, alleging a massive public assault on their character by defendant Dershowitz. On January 9, 2015, Edwards and Cassell filed their Initial Request for Production to Defendant Alan M. Dershowitz. They requested production of documents along the lines that Dershowitz suggested he had already collected. For example, Request for Production (RFP) No. 9 sought "[copies of 4 EFTA01081614 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 12 of 34 Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz Case No.: CACE 15-000072 Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents any and all `absolute proof as described in paragraph 8 of the sworn declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz." On February I I, 2015, counsel for Edwards and Cassell sent an email to counsel for Dershowitz, noting that discovery production was past due and inquiring as to whether a motion to compel would be necessary. That same day, a paralegal for Cole, Scott & Kissane confirmed that appropriate production would be made by the end of the week. Shortly after, an attorney for Dershowitz disavowed that commitment, and indicated that Dershowitz would make his productions by February 23, 2015. On February 23, 2015 — 45 days after the discovery requests had been served — Dershowitz responded. With regard to the request for production of documents, Dershowitz produced no documents whatsoever. Instead, he made a vague commitment to produce unspecified documents at some unspecified time in the future. Illustrative of Dershowitz's failure to make any substantive production is the following request for production and Dershowitz's answer: 9. Copies of any and all "absolute proof' as described in paragraph 8 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz. RESPONSE: Defendant objects to this Document Request to the extent that Plaintiffs seek to alter or shift any burdens of proof as a matter of law in this action. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing specific objections and General Objections, Defendant responds that he will produce all responsive, non- privileged documents currently in his possession, custody or control. Dershowitz made the same evasive response — "Defendant responds that he will produce" unspecified "non-privileged documents" — to multiple discovery requests. See Dershowitz 5 EFTA01081615 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 13 of 34 Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz Case No.: CACE 15-000072 Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents Response to Requests for Production 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23. To permit the Court to review the extent of Dershowitz's evasions, a copy of his responses is attached to this pleading as Exhibit A. In short, despite having had 45 days to gather materials that allegedly provide "absolute proof" that he has never even met Jane Doe No. 3 — and despite having told numerous media sources that he had already collected such information — Dershowitz has produced none of these documents to Edwards and Cassell. He has also made blanket assertions of a variety of privileges, but has produced no privilege logs. CONCLUSION Accordingly, Edwards and Cassell request: 1. That Dershowitz be directed to produce all materials covered by the discovery requests forthwith; 2. That Dershowitz be held to have waived any and all otherwise applicable privileges as a consequence of his failure to timely file a privilege log; and 3. That Dershowitz be ordered to pay reasonable costs and attorneys' fees associated with the need to file this motion to compel. CERTIFICATE OF GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO RESOLVE Plaintiffs have attempted in good faith to resolve the discovery issues presented in this motion (and others) as evidenced by the letter attached as Exhibit B. The Defendant has failed to respond as of the time of the filing of this motion. 6 EFTA01081616 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 14 of 34 Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz Case No.: CACE 15-000072 Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true and correct copy of the foregoing was sent via E-Serve to all Counsel on the attached list, this r")2 Pi) day of Atigk , 2015.

Edwards and Paul G. Cassell ("Plaintiffs"). PRELIMINARY STATEMENT These responses and objections reflect the current state of Defendant's knowledge regarding the matters discussed herein. Defendant has not completed his discovery or trial preparation in this matter. Accordingly, Defendant reserves the right to revise, correct, clarify, supplement, or amend his objections and responses to reflect information hereafter discovered or acquired. These responses and objections are provided without prejudice to the rights of Defendant to use or rely upon subsequently discovered information or documents at any time, including at trial. The fact that a Document Request has been complied with in part shall not be construed as a waiver of all or any part of any objection that Defendant might or could make to EXHIBIT A EFTA01081619 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 17 of 34 any Document Request propounded by Plaintiffs. Defendant further reserves the right to object to the admission in evidence of any and all information made available in response to the Document Requests on any ground, including, but not limited to, the ground that it is irrelevant and immaterial to the issues in this action. GENERAL OBJECTIONS I. The General Objections and statements in this section apply to each of Defendant's responses to the Document Requests set forth below and are not necessarily repeated in response to each individual Document Request. 2. By responding to the Document Requests, Defendant does not concede that any information requested is relevant to this action or admissible at trial. Defendant expressly reserves the right to object to further discovery on the subject matter of any of these Document Requests. 3. Defendant's responses set forth below include only documents located or obtained up to the date of service of the responses. Additional responsive, non-privileged documents may be ascertained or identified subsequently, and Defendant reserves the right to rely on such documents throughout this litigation and at trial. 4. Defendant objects to each Document Request to the extent that it calls for documents protected by the attorney-client privilege, the work-product doctrine, or any other applicable privilege or protection. By responding to any Document Request, Defendant does not waive any applicable privilege as to that Document Request or as to any other present or future discovery request. 5. Defendant generally objects to the Document Requests as unduly burdensome and oppressive to the extent that they ask Defendant to provide information that is beyond 2 EFTA01081620 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 18 of 34 Defendant's possession, custody, or control; is publicly available; is already in Plaintiffs' possession, care, custody, or control; or is generally available to Plaintiffs. 6. Defendant generally objects to the Document Requests to the extent that the information sought is not identified with sufficient particularity. 7. Defendant objects to the definition of "Documents" to the extent that it seeks the production of things beyond the scope of Rule 1.280 of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure. Defendant further objects to the definition of "Documents" to the extent that it seeks "electronic data as well as application metadata and system metadata" and "inventories and rosters of your information technology (IT) systems — e.g., hardware, software and data, including but not limited to network drawings, lists of computing devices (servicers, PCs, laptops, PDAs, cell phones, with data storage and/or transmission features), programs, data maps and security tools and protocols" as overly broad and unduly burdensome. RESPONSES TO REOUESTS I.

Copies of any and all documents reflecting or relating to any and all occasions on which you have been physically present at Jeffrey Epstein's Ranch in New Mexico including but not limited to your visit to Jeffrey Epstein's Ranch in New Mexico, as described in paragraph 4 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz. RESPONSE: Subject to and without waiving the General Objections, Defendant responds that he will produce all responsive, non-privileged documents currently in his possession, custody or control relating to the sole occasion on which Defendant was physically present at Jeffrey Epstein's Ranch in New Mexico. 4. Copies of any and all documents evidencing the presence of your wife and daughter at Jeffrey Epstein's Ranch in New Mexico, as described in paragraph 4 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz.

Copies of any and all documents evidencing the presence of your wife and daughter on Jeffrey Epstein's private plane, as described in paragraph 5 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz. RESPONSE: Subject to and without waiving the General Objections, Defendant responds that he will produce all responsive, non-privileged documents currently in his possession, custody or control. 4 EFTA01081622 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 20 of 34 6. Copies of any and all documents evidencing the presence of your nephew on Jeffrey Epstein's private plane, as described in paragraph 5 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz. RESPONSE: Subject to and without waiving the General Objections, Defendant responds that he will produce all responsive, non-privileged documents currently in his possession, custody or control. 7. Copies of any and all documents evidencing the presence of "members of Mr. Epstein's legal team", as described in paragraph 5 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz. RESPONSE: Defendant objects to this Document Request as overly broad because Jane Doe #3 alleges in the filing titled "Jane Doe #3 and Jane Doe #4's Motion Pursuant to Rule 21 For Joinder In Action" (Doc. No. 279) (the "Joinder Motion") in the civil action captioned Jane Doe #1, et aL v. United States, Case No. 08-80736 (S.D. Fla.) (the "Federal Action") that she was "kept as [Jeffrey Epstein's] sex slave from about 1999 through 2002." Jane Doe #3 further alleges in the Joinder Motion that she "escape[d]" from Mr. Epstein and moved to Australia in 2002. Paragraph 5 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz refers to plane travel by members of Mr. Epstein's legal team after 2002 and therefore Defendant further objects because this Document Request does not seek documents relevant to this action or documents reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. 8. Copies of any and all flight manifests reflecting your presence or the presence of any member of your family on any aircraft on which Jeffrey Epstein was also a passenger during the same flight. RESPONSE: Defendant responds that he has no responsive, non-privileged documents. 9. Copies of any and all "absolute proof' as described in paragraph 8 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M.

Subject to and without waiving the foregoing specific objections and General Objections, Defendant responds that he will produce all responsive, non-privileged documents currently in his possession, custody or control. 10. Copies of any and all documents supporting the allegation that "Jane Doe #3 is a serial liar" as described in paragraph 8 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz. RESPONSE: Subject to and without waiving the General Objections, Defendant responds that he will produce all responsive, non-privileged documents currently in his possession, custody or control. 1 I. Copies of any and all documents tending to establish that President Clinton has never visited Jeffrey Epstein's island, Little Saint James, as described in paragraph 8 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz. RESPONSE: Defendant objects to this Document Request because it misstates paragraph 8 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz, which expressly states that "on information and belief I have been advised that Secret Service records would confirm that President Clinton has never set foot on that island." (Emphasis added). Subject to and without waiving the foregoing specific objections and the General Objections, Defendant responds that he has no responsive, non- privileged documents. 6 EFTA01081624 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 22 of 34 12. Copies of any and all documents evidencing that Jane Doe #3 "has also told lies about many world leaders" as described in paragraph 8 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz. RESPONSE: Defendant objects to this Document Request because it misstates paragraph 8 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz, which expressly states that "on information and belief [Jane Doe #3] has also told lies about many world leaders." (Emphasis added). Defendant further objects to this Document Request because it seeks documents already in Plaintiffs' possession and/or that are publicly available. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing specific objections and the General Objections, Defendant responds by reference to statements by Jane Doe #3 reflected in the media, which are equally available to Plaintiffs. 13. Copies of any and all documents evidencing that "the State Attorney in Palm Beach County dropped a case that she sought to bring based on an assessment by the investigating detective regarding the `victim's lack of credibility' including a copy of the letter reflecting this decision as described in paragraph 8 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz. RESPONSE; Defendant objects to this Document Request because it misstates paragraph 8 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz, which expressly states that "on information and belief the State Attorney in Palm Beach County dropped a case that she sought to bring based on an assessment by the investigating detective regarding the 'victim's lack of credibility.' A copy of the letter reflecting this decision was forwarded to central records." (Emphasis added).

Copies of any and all documents reflecting that Jane Doe #3 has ever willfully engaged in prostitution. RESPONSE: Defendant objects to this Document Request as vague because Defendant is not in a position to determine the willful nature of Jane Doe #3's prostitution. Defendant further objects to this Document Request because Jane Doe #3 has repeatedly and publicly asserted that she gave her body for sexual activity for him after the age of 18 and agreed to secure other persons for the purpose of prostitution or for any other lewd or indecent act and therefore the Document Request is unduly burdensome. 19. Copies of any and all documents reflecting that Jane Doe #3 is either a liar or has perjured herself in any way. RESPONSE: Subject to and without waiving the General Objections, Defendant responds that he will produce all responsive, non-privileged documents currently in his possession, custody or control. 20.

Copies of any and all records for the period 1998-2007 reflecting or relating to travel by you and/or any member of your family on any aircraft, boat, helicopter, or other means of transport owned, controlled, or under the direction of Jeffrey Epstein and/or any business entity with which Jeffrey Epstein was affiliated at the time of travel. RESPONSE: Defendant objects to this Document Request as overly broad because Jane Doe #3 alleges in the Joinder Motion that she was "kept as [Jeffrey Epstein's] sex slave from about 1999 through 2002." Jane Doe #3 further alleges that she "escape[d]" from Mr. Epstein and moved to Australia in 2002. Therefore Defendant objects to this Document Request to the extent that it purports to seek documents relating to any time before 1999 or after 2002. Defendant further objects to this Document Request as overly broad and premature because Jane Doe #3 has not specified the dates on which she alleges Defendant engaged in misconduct on Mr. Epstein's plane, which are the sole relevant allegations by Jane Doe #3 or her counsel concerning travel on Mr. Epstein's plane that Defendant refutes and asserts are false. Subject to and without waiving the General Objections, Defendant responds that he will produce all responsive, non-privileged documents currently in his possession, custody or control relating to any occasions that may be specifically identified by Jane Doe #3 on which she contends that Defendant travelled on Jeffrey Epstein's plane between 1999 and 2002. 23. Copies of any and all records, including emails and text messages, between you and Jeffrey Epstein between December 29, 2014 and today, regarding allegations made by Jane Doe #3 of sexual misconduct by either of you. RESPONSE: Defendant objects to this Document Request to the extent that it seeks documents regarding allegations made by Jane Doe #3 of sexual misconduct by Jeffrey Epstein because such documents are not relevant to the subject matter of this action and would be attorney-client privileged communications in any event.
