12 A. I don't exactly remember when it was. I think
13 it was when I was still going.
14 Q. Okay. So the only time that you've ever
15 spoken with Mr. Epstein outside of his home would have
16 been the one time you saw him out jogging on the beach
17 and you were at the beach over in Palm Beach, correct?
18 MR. HOROWITZ: Form.

20 Q. What's the difference between trying and
21 touching?

15 when I had school and classes and like what days I could
16 come.
17 Q. And that was the extent of the conversation,
18 it was strictly a scheduling?
19 A. No, and she asked me if I knew anybody too
20 that I would want to bring for a massage.
21 Q. Okay. And that was the extent of the
22 conversation, at least as to you? Whatever
23 conversations you had with , she may have called

25 schedule? Can you come at a certain time, or what times

11 MR. HOROWITZ: Form.
12 THE WITNESS: Just the massages and basically
13 that.

1 Q. Let me get back to the police here.
2 So the police sit and they interview you for
3 an hour and a half to two hours, and during that, not
4 only the sworn part of the testimony out of your
5 statement, but as well you're saying that you lied to
6 them during part of, part of what you've said, both
7 sworn and unsworn, and as well you didn't provide them
8 all the information, right?
9 A. Yes.
10 Q. Now, you filed your lawsuit in this case
11 against Mr. Epstein and you are seeking, at least your
12 lawyers are asking in part of the complaint for
13 $50 million. Are you aware of that?
14 A. No, my lawyers take care of all that.
15 Q. All right. Let me show you I'll mark as
16 Exhibit 1.
17 (The document was marked Defendant's
18 Exhibit 1 for identification.)
19 BY MR. CRITTON:
20 Q. Exhibit 1 is the amended complaint that you
21 filed, that your lawyers -- it's the second complaint
22 that actually was filed in this action. The original
23 complaint was filed on September 10th of '08, all right?
24 A. Uh huh.
25 Q. Yes?
PROSE COURT REPORTING AGENCY, INC.
EFTA01104242
Page 29
1 A. Yes.
2 Q. All right. So between the time that the
3 lawsuit was filed on September -- let me strike that --
4 that you gave a statement to the police officers under
5 which you, about which you've admitted you did not tell
6 the truth on , 2005, up until three years
7 later -- almost three years later, September 10th of
8 '08, did you recontact the police and tell the police
9 that you had not told them the truth? In fact, you had
10 lied to them and withheld information?
11 A. I told the FBI that when they came up to visit
12 me
13 Q. That wasn't my question.
14 MR. HOROWITZ: Form.
15 BY MR. CRITTON:
16 Q. My question was did you talk to the Palm Beach
17 police department --
18 A. I never talked to them after that.
19 Q. I need to finish the question.
20 A. I'm sorry.
21 Q. -- from the time that you first spoke with
22 them on of 2005 up until the time that the
23 complaint was filed, that is, to bring this lawsuit
24 seeking damages in excess of $50 million against
25 Mr: Epstein, did you ever call or recontact the Palm

1 you first went to Mr. Epstein's home?
2 A. I believe I went the end of my sophomore year
3 till about the end of my junior year. I'm not sure if
4 it was the beginning or the end of my sophomore year.
5 Somewhere around there.
6 Q. Well, you told the police that you were
7 approximately 17 when you first went to Mr. Epstein's
8 home, didn't you?
9 A. I don't exactly remember what, when I said
10 that, I first told them I went.
11 Q. If I asked you to assume that the police
12 report reflects that the statement that you gave to
13 them, that you were there when you were 17 years old,
14 all right?
15 A. Okay.
16 Q. If you were 17 years old and you were born in,
17 let's see, so it would have been
18 approximately June, the end of June of 2004, correct,
19 that you first went there?
20 MR. HOROWITZ: Form.
21 THE WITNESS: I, I don't exactly know, to be
22 honest with you.
23 BY MR. CRITTON:
24 Q. You mean when you first went to Mr. Epstein's?
25 A. I can't put a date on it. I just remember it
PROSE COURT REPORTING AGENCY, INC.

Page 35
1 was my sophomore year to my junior year.
2 Q. When you gave a statement to the police on
3 , 2005, whether you were 16 or 17, what
4 difference would it have made to the police officers?
5 Why would being scared or confused, why would you lie
6 about your age when you first went to Mr. Epstein's?
7 MR. HOROWITZ: Form.
8 THE WITNESS: I don't know.
9 BY MR. CRITTON:
10 Q. Maybe in fact --
11 A. I mean I did go when I was 17 too, so I may
12 have just said 17, I don't really know.
13 Q. Well, you were 18 -- again, would you agree
14 with me that your recollection of the events involving
15 Mr. Epstein would have been better in October of '05
16 than it is at the current time?
17 MR. HOROWITZ: Form.
18 THE WITNESS: Yes.
19 BY MR. CRITTON:
20 Q. And if you told the police officers you were
21 17 when you first went to Mr. Epstein's home, would you
22 agree with me that that, there would have been no reason
23 for you to lie about your age at that time --
24 MR. HOROWITZ: Form.

1 BY MR. CRITTON:
2 Q. -- to the police officers?
3 MR. HOROWITZ: Form.
4 BY MR. CRITTON:
5 Q. Whether you were scared or confused at that
6 time, you probably would have given them at least your
7 accurate age when you first went to Mr. Epstein's?
8 MR. HOROWITZ: Form.
9 THE WITNESS: I may have said it because I was
10 scared and I didn't want to them to think I
11 actually went that long, or I don't know why I said
12 it. I honestly don't know.
13 BY MR. CRITTON:
14 Q. And maybe it was the truth at the time?
15 MR. HOROWITZ: Form.
16 THE WITNESS: I mean I really don't know.
17 BY MR. CRITTON:
18 Q. So it may have been the truth, it may not have
19 been the truth; even today you don't know, correct,
20 whether you were 17 when you first went to
21 Mr. Epstein's?
22 A. I believe I was 16, because I believe it was
23 the end of my sophomore year. So I at least think I was
24 16.
25 Q. So you are meeting with two police officers
PROSE COURT REPORTING AGENCY, INC.
EFTA01104246
Page 37
1 from the Town of Palm Beach in basically a secure
2 environment, nothing can happen to you there. You told
3 them that you were 17 years old when you first went to
4 Mr. Epstein's.
5 Now that you are seeking $50 million in a
6 lawsuit that was filed on September 10 of '08, now all
7 of a sudden maybe you were 16? Is that your testimony?
8 MR. HOROWITZ: Let me object to form. You are
9 mischaracterizing the testimony.
10 BY MR. CRITTON:
11 Q. You can go ahead and answer, ma'am.
12 A. Well, I told you that I didn't tell them the
13 complete truth. So what would it matter if I told them
14 I was 17 or 16, when I already told you I didn't tell
15 them the complete truth and I didn't tell them
16 everything that happened?
17 Q. Well, again, my point is merely is --
18 A. I understand.
19 Q. I want you to confirm that you didn't even
20 tell them the correct age, or at least your position is
21 you may have lied to the police officers even about the
22 age when you first went to Mr. Epstein's house?
23 A. I believe the only reason I would have lied
24 about my age, because I was scared and I didn't want
25 them obviously when I was 16 to think that I went there

1 as well as 17 and if I didn't really want to be involved
2 in it, so maybe that's why I said I was 17. I don't
3 remember that far back what I was thinking.
4 Q. Okay. I understand that.
