1 in your view?
2 A. Yes.
3 Q. Did you ever -- did you at that time
4 wonder why she was traveling with Jeffrey?
5 A. At that time, I did not.
6 Q. Did you later wonder that?
7 A. Yes.
8 Q. And what was your impression?
9 MS. MENNINGER: Objection, vague,
10 speculative.
11 THE WITNESS: I -- we're jumping ahead; is
12 that okay?
13 BY MS. McCAWLEY:
14 Q. Yes, that's okay.
15 A. A few days later, I remember asking her
16 questions to try to figure out her role, why she was
17 there, and she gave me vague answers and was never
18 specific.
19 And so I thought perhaps she just was an
20 assistant, someone that did massages well. I wanted
21 to believe that she was innocent.
22 Q. Did you ever refer to her as being
23 orphan-like?
24 A. I did.
25 Q. And how did that come about?

22 I would still like to go.
23 Q. And do you recall who you -- who went with
24 you to the Virgin Islands?
25 A. I believe -- well, I know Virginia was

1 observed her personality to be?
2 A. Sure. She definitely had a great sense of
3 humor, she loved making jokes. I mean, in a very
4 British way. I don't remember her ever laughing,
5 but she was funny.
6 And I remember just thinking, she -- the
7 first weekend that we flew to the Virgin Islands,
8 she flew the helicopter from Saint, wherever we were
9 to little Saint Jeff [sic] or whatever the name of
10 the island was, and I just thought, wow, who is this

25 painted. It was nothing fancy, it was large, it was

1 something. That's all I recall.
2 Q. Did you go anywhere with Virginia?
3 A. Oh, my gosh, yes. We went to Phantom of
4 the Opera.
5 Q. Who else went?
6 A. I think it was just she and I. I forgot

13 Jeffrey while you were there on that trip or was it
14 a subsequent trip?
15 A. That trip.
16 Q. And how did that come to be?
17 A. Either he or somebody asked me to go and
18 do it. Someone showed me to the room, but I don't
19 remember who it was.
20 Q. Can you describe that room?
21 A. Yes. It was high ceilings, dark. There
22 were, like, dark red walls or dark blue walls or
23 dark blue carpeting or something. It had a massage
24 table set up in the middle, and there was a large --
25 I want to say like a 15-foot photo, either photo or

1 Q. Do you know personally whether anyone else
2 had said no to him?
3 A. No.
4 Q. Did anyone ever tell you that they had
5 been in a massage scenario and told him no?
6 A. No.
7 Q. Do you recall when in your trip the
8 massage occurred?
9 A. Well, it was not the day we landed. It
10 must have been that next day that we were there.
11 Q. Do you remember anything else about
12 Virginia from that trip other than the Prince Andrew
13 thing and Phantom of the Opera?
14 A. Well, we were getting ready to leave to go
15 to the airport, and we were waiting. She and I sat
16 on the steps in the foyer. I do remember just kind
17 of asking a few questions to try to understand her
18 role, because at that point now I knew what he
19 wanted from me in the massage. And -- but she did
20 not make it clear to me that she was participating
21 in that. So I was prodding gently to see if there
22 was anything happening that shouldn't have been,
23 because I was getting the impression that she was --
24 she told me she was 17.
25 Q. She told you she was 17?

1 A. Uh-huh.
2 Q. How did that come up?
3 A. I asked her.
4 Q. Was anyone else present during this
5 conversation?
6 A. No.
7 Q. You mentioned in your earlier testimony
8 that she seemed orphan-like.
9 A. Yes.
10 Q. But you said that was something you had
11 said to Ms. McCawley, correct?
12 A. Correct.
13 Q. That was not said at the time?
14 A. Right. No. At the time I was getting an
15 impression that she did not have a family or she had
16 walked away from her family. And it seemed to me,
17 you know, they had just sort of adopted her, not as
18 a child, but they would take care of her.
19 Q. Did you observe anyone speaking to her as
20 a child, like make up your bed?
21 A. No.
22 Q. Did you observe whether she was using
23 drugs during that trip?
24 A. No.

10 children.

17 Q. Do you recall the point in time in which
18 Virginia went away?
19 A. Sort of. After the trip to New York, I
20 was given her phone number to call. And I remember
21 one time I tried to get ahold of her. Her boyfriend
22 answered. A boyfriend, I would assume, and he
23 sounded like he was high. And I couldn't find out
24 where she was. And then from there on, she was out
25 of the picture.

4 Q. She may have been naked under a towel --
5 A. Definitely.

7 MS. McCAWLEY: Objection.
8 THE WITNESS: Yes. Actually, I do recall
9 an instance where I was massaging her and
10 Jeffrey came into the room and he did something
11 sort of sexual to her, whether it was fondling
12 her or slapping her butt or something, and she
13 brushed him off like she was embarrassed.

1 Q. How much?
2 A. One hundred dollars extra.
3 Can I clarify?
4 Q. Absolutely.
5 A. He didn't ever say he would pay me more,
6 but when the massage was more than just a massage
7 and it was sexual, then he would pay me more.
8 Q. It wasn't a discussion; it's just what
9 happened?
10 A. Correct.
11 Q. Thank you for clarifying.

2 A. Yes.
3 Q. You told that reporter, I believe, that
4 the police report painted a picture that it was a
5 big orgy all the time, but it wasn't?
6 A. What I saw, I did not see anything out in
7 the open sexually. Me, personally.
8 Q. Right. You did not see orgies happening

3 Ms. McCawley about nude photographs that were
4 present in the home? Homes?

6 Q. In Palm Beach, I believe you said there
7 were some in the room where the massage table was?
8 A. Yes.
9 Q. Can you tell me what you recall seeing?
10 A. It wasn't candid photos. They were all,
11 like, staged.
12 Q. Like a model?
13 A. Yes. And my -- I don't recall necessarily
14 knowing any of the people in those photos. I
15 remember at one point there was a photo of myself,

18 they staged, like, with, you know, parts of bodies
19 showing?
20 A. I really only remember topless photos. I
21 don't remember full frontal photos.
22 Q. So exposing the breasts, but not exposing
23 the genitalia?

5 of young girls?
6 A. No.
7 Q. Preteens, for example?
8 A. No.
9 Q. Something you would consider child
10 pornography?
11 A. Never.
12 Q. Other than in the bathroom or the massage
13 room at the Palm Beach home, do you recall any other
14 place in the Palm Beach home where you saw any of
15 these topless photos of women?
16 A. I remember there being photos everywhere,
17 and the ones that stick out in my memory are the
18 ones -- there was a photo of Ghislaine with the
19 Pope. It would not surprise me if there were naked
20 photos around. I just didn't retain them in my
21 memory.
22 Q. So when you say there were photos
23 everywhere, you mean just photos in general?
24 A. Yes. They had a lot of photos around the
25 house.

7 record really clear.
8 So you recall there being photos
9 everywhere; you just remember a couple sticking out
10 in your brain as being topless?
