VIRGINIA L. GIUFFRE, Plaintiff, v. 15-cv-07433-RWS GHISLAINE MAXWELL, Defendant. ------------------------------------------------------X DEFENDANT GHISLAINE MAXWELL’S RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFF’S SECOND REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell, by and through her undersigned counsel, hereby responds to Plaintiff’s Second Request for Production of Documents (the “Requests”). PRELIMINARY STATEMENT AND GENERAL OBJECTIONS 1. This response is made to the best of Ms. Maxwell’s present knowledge, information and belief. Ms. Maxwell, through her attorneys of record, have not completed the investigation of the facts relating to this case, have not completed discovery in this action, and have not completed preparation for trial. Ms. Maxwell’s responses to Plaintiff’s requests are based on information currently known to her and are given without waiving Ms. Maxwell’s right to use evidence of any subsequently discovered or identified facts, documents or communications. Ms. Maxwell reserves the right to supplement this Response in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(e). 2. Ms. Maxwell objects to the Requests to the extent they attempt to impose any requirement or discovery obligation greater than or different from those under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the local rules of this Court or any Orders of the Court. 3. Ms. Maxwell objects to the Requests to the extent they seek documents or information protected by the attorney/client privilege, the work-product doctrine, Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, any common interest privilege, joint defense agreement or any other applicable privilege. 4. Ms. Maxwell objects to the Requests to the extent they seek documents or information outside of Ms. Maxwell’s possession, custody or control.  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1320-17 Filed 01/03/24 Page 3 of 25 5. Ms. Maxwell objects to the Requests to the extent they seek information which is not relevant to the subject matter of the litigation and/or is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. 6. Ms. Maxwell objects to the Requests to the extent they are overly broad, unduly burdensome and/or propounded for the improper purpose of annoying, embarrassing, or harassing Ms. Maxwell. 7. Ms. Maxwell objects to the Requests to the extent they are vague and ambiguous, or imprecise. 8. Ms. Maxwell objects to the Requests to the extent they seek information that is confidential and implicates Ms. Maxwell’s privacy interests. 9. Ms. Maxwell incorporates by reference every general objection set forth above into each specific response set forth below. A specific response may repeat a general objection for emphasis or for some other reason. The failure to include any general objection in any specific response does not waive any general objection to that request. 10. The Requests seek information that is confidential and implicates Ms. Maxwell’s privacy interests. To the extent such information is relevant and discoverable in this action, Ms. Maxwell will produce such materials subject to an appropriate protective order pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c) limiting their dissemination to the attorneys and their employees. OBJECTIONS TO DEFINITIONS 11. Ms. Maxwell objects to Definition No. 1 regarding “Agent” to the extent that it purports to extend the meaning beyond those permissible by law. 12. Ms. Maxwell objects to Definition No. 3 regarding “Defendant.” The Definition is overly broad and unduly burdensome to the extent it attempts to extend the scope of the Requests to documents in the possession, custody or control of individuals other than Ms. Maxwell or her counsel. 13. Ms. Maxwell objects to Definition No. 5 regarding “Employee.” Ms. Maxwell is an individual, sued in an individual capacity, and therefore there is no “past or present officer, director, agent or servant” of hers. Additionally, “attorneys” and “paralegals” are not “employees” of Ms. Maxwell given that she herself is not an attorney and therefore cannot “employ” attorneys. 14. Ms. Maxwell objects to Definition No. 10 regarding “You” or “Your.” The Definition is overly broad and unduly burdensome to the extent it attempts to extend the scope of the Requests to documents in the possession, custody or control of individuals other than Ms. Maxwell or her counsel. 2  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1320-17 Filed 01/03/24 Page 4 of 25 OBJECTIONS TO INSTRUCTIONS 15. Ms. Maxwell objects to Instruction No. 1, in particular the definition of the “Relevant Period” to include July 1999 to the present, on the grounds that it is overly broad and unduly burdensome and calls for the production of documents that are irrelevant to this action and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. The Complaint at paragraph 9 purports to describe events pertaining to Plaintiff and Defendant occurring in the years 1999 – 2002. The Complaint also references statements attributed to Ms. Maxwell occurring in January 2015. Defining the “Relevant Period” as “July 1999 to the present” is vastly overbroad, irrelevant and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, and as to certain of the Requests, is intended for the improper purpose of annoying or harassing Ms. Maxwell and it implicates her privacy rights. Thus, Ms. Maxwell interprets the Relevant Period to be limited to 1999-2002 and December 30, 2014 - January 31, 2015, except to the extent that any the answers “relate to any activity of defendant with respect to the practice which has been alleged and the duties alleged to be performed by Defendant, ‘activities’ being defined as sexual abuse or trafficking of any female,” in which case her answers reflect the period 2000-today. Ms. Maxwell specifically objects to production of any documents outside that period, except as specifically noted. 16. Ms. Maxwell objects to Instruction No. 3 on the grounds that it is unduly burdensome and is intended for the improper purpose of annoying or harassing Ms. Maxwell. Ms. Maxwell cannot possibly recall the specific disposition of documents, particularly electronic documents, dating back over 16 years. However, Ms. Maxwell, prior to this litigation has long had a practice of deleting emails after they have been read. 17. Ms. Maxwell objects to Instruction Nos. 5, 8, 9, 12, 17 to the extent they seek to impose obligations to supply explanations for the presence or absence of such documents, to specifically identify persons or documents, to provide information concerning who prepared documents, the location of any copies of such documents, the identities and contact information for persons who have custody or control of such documents, the reasons for inability to produce portions of documents, and the “natural person in whose possession they were found,” beyond the requirements of Rule 34. This Instruction improperly seeks to propound Interrogatories pursuant to Rule 33. 18. Ms. Maxwell objects to Instructions No. 13 on the grounds that it is unduly burdensome and is intended for the improper purpose of annoying or harassing Ms. Maxwell. Ms. Maxwell cannot possibly recall the specific circumstances upon which a document dating back 16 years has ceased to exist. 19. Ms. Maxwell objects to Instruction No. 15 to the extent that it calls for documents or information protected by the attorney/client privilege, the work-product doctrine, or any other applicable privilege. 20. Ms. Maxwell objects to Instruction Nos. 18 & 19 to the extent they require information on any privilege log above and beyond the requirements of Local Civil Rule 26.2. 3  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1320-17 Filed 01/03/24 Page 5 of 25 SPECIFIC OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFF’S SECOND REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS DOCUMENT REQUEST NO. 1 Produce all documents that Your attorneys reviewed and/or relied upon in the March 21, 2016, meet and confer discussion when Mr. Pagliuca stated that (1) Plaintiff made false allegations concerning her sexual assault; (2) she made them in roughly the same time frame that Plaintiff was abused by Jeffrey Epstein; (3) that the allegations were made against a number of individuals in the area; and (4) that the allegations were found to be unfounded by local police. RESPONSE: Ms. Maxwell has no knowledge of any statements made by Mr. Pagliuca during the March 21, 2016 meet and confer and hence has no documents responsive to this Request. Further, this Request inaccurately characterizes the statements of Ms. Maxwell’s counsel during the March 16, 2016 meet and confer. Ms. Maxwell further objects to this Request to the extent it seeks documents or information protected by the attorney/client privilege, the work-product doctrine, the common interest privilege or any other applicable privilege. Ms. Maxwell also objects to this Request to the extent it calls for information relating to Virginia Roberts Giuffre that exists within the public domain, the internet or in public court records and which are equally available to both parties and can be obtained from some other source that is more convenient, less burdensome, and less expensive. Subject to and without waiver of the foregoing, Defendant refers to the public documents and news reports regarding Plaintiff’s allegations of sexual abuse and investigation of the same, which have been previously produced, are available in the public domain, or referenced in court papers. Defendant also refers Plaintiff to documents within the possession, custody and control of Plaintiff and her counsel, including without limitation Mr. Bradley Edwards, which were requested in Defendant’s First Set of Discovery Requests, but were not produced despite certification of Plaintiff and Plaintiff’s counsel that such Responses were truthful and complete. Without waiver of any such objections, Ms. Maxwell has made available documents related to some of Ms. Giuffre’s false allegations of sexual assaults in her Second Supplemental Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(A) disclosures. DOCUMENT REQUEST NO. 2 Produce all documents concerning how any such police report, or how any such recounting, retelling, summary, or description of any such police report (as referenced in Interrogatory No. 1), came into Your possession. This request includes, but is not limited to, all documents concerning how, when, and by whom such reports (or descriptions of reports) were obtained from a minor child’s sealed juvenile records and files. RESPONSE: Ms. Maxwell objects to this Request in that there is no “Interrogatory No. 1” to which the Request corresponds. She further objects to the Request in that it improperly seeks to propound an Interrogatory in the form of a Request for Production of Documents and is 4  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1320-17 Filed 01/03/24 Page 6 of 25 a contention Interrogatory barred according to Plaintiff’s interpretation of the Local Rules. The Request embeds a number of assumptions that are not true and for which Plaintiff supplies no basis for assertion of their veracity. Ms. Maxwell likewise objects to this Request because it seeks documents or information protected by the attorney/client privilege, the work-product doctrine, the common interest privilege or any other applicable privilege. Finally, Ms. Maxwell also objects to this Request to the extent it calls for information relating to Virginia Roberts Giuffre that exists within the public domain, the internet or in public court records and which are equally available to both parties and can be obtained from some other source that is more convenient, less burdensome, and less expensive. Defendant refers to the public documents and news reports regarding Plaintiff’s allegations of sexual abuse and investigation of the same, which have been previously produced, are available in the public domain, or referenced in court papers. Defendant also refers Plaintiff to documents within the possession, custody and control of Plaintiff and her counsel, including without limitation Mr. Bradley Edwards, which were requested in Defendant’s First Set of Discovery Requests, but were not produced despite certification of Plaintiff and Plaintiff’s counsel that such Responses were truthful and complete. Without waiver of any such objections, Ms. Maxwell has made available documents related to some of Ms. Giuffre’s false allegations of sexual assaults in her Second Supplemental Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(A) disclosures. Ms. Maxwell is withholding documents responsive to this request on the basis of the attorney-client and work product privileges. DOCUMENT REQUEST NO. 3 Produce all documents concerning how information or knowledge of the local police’s findings or opinions concerning Ms. Giuffre’s allegations of sexual assault as a minor child came into Your possession, including but not limited to documents concerning any statements made by law enforcement or any state attorney, written or oral, concerning such allegations. RESPONSE: Ms. Maxwell objects to this Request to the extent it seeks documents or information protected by the attorney/client privilege, the work-product doctrine, the common interest privilege or any other applicable privilege. Ms. Maxwell also objects to this Request to the extent it calls for information relating to Virginia Roberts Giuffre that exists within the public domain, the internet or in public court records and which are equally available to both parties and can be obtained from some other source that is more convenient, less burdensome, and less expensive. Subject to and without waiver of the foregoing, Defendant refers to the public documents and news reports regarding Plaintiff’s allegations of sexual abuse and investigation of the same, which have been previously produced, are available in the public domain, or referenced in court papers. Defendant also refers Plaintiff to documents within the possession, custody and control of Plaintiff and her counsel, including without limitation Mr. Bradley Edwards, which were requested in Defendant’s First Set of Discovery Requests, but were not produced despite certification of Plaintiff and Plaintiff’s counsel that such Responses were truthful and complete. 5  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1320-17 Filed 01/03/24 Page 7 of 25 Without waiver of any such objections, Ms. Maxwell has made available documents related to some of Ms. Giuffre’s false allegations of sexual assaults in her Second Supplemental Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(A) disclosures. Ms. Maxwell is withholding documents responsive to this request on the basis of the attorney-client and work product privileges. DOCUMENT REQUEST NO. 4 Produce all documents concerning any investigations, internal or otherwise, by any law enforcement or governmental agency, regarding the illegal disclosure, illegal purchase, and/or theft of sealed juvenile police records concerning Plaintiff. RESPONSE: Ms. Maxwell objects to this Request to the extent it seeks documents or information protected by the attorney/client privilege, the work-product doctrine, the common interest privilege or any other applicable privilege. Ms. Maxwell also objects to this Request to the extent it calls information relating to Virginia Roberts Giuffre that exists within the public domain, the internet or in public court records and which are equally available to both parties and can be obtained from some other source that is more convenient, less burdensome, and less expensive. Defendant objects to this request to the extent that it characterizes the gathering of public information as “illegal.” Subject to and without waiver of the foregoing, Defendant has been unable to locate any documents responsive to this Request. DOCUMENT REQUEST NO. 5 Produce all documents concerning any rape, sexual assault, sexual intercourse, or other sexual encounter involving Plaintiff. This Request includes, but is not limited to, (1) any documents concerning any sexual assault of Plaintiff while a minor; (2) any police reports, or documents concerning any police reports, that were created concerning such claims of sexual assault; and (3) documents concerning any communications received by You (or Your agents or attorneys) by other individuals that reference any sexual assault of Plaintiff while a minor. RESPONSE: Ms. Maxwell objects to this Request to the extent it seeks documents or information protected by the attorney/client privilege, the work-product doctrine, the common interest privilege or any other applicable privilege. Ms. Maxwell also objects to this Request to the extent it calls for information relating to Virginia Roberts Giuffre that exists within the public domain, the internet or in public court records and which are equally available to both parties and can be obtained from some other source that is more convenient, less burdensome, and less expensive.

Defendant also refers Plaintiff to documents within the possession, custody and control of Plaintiff and her counsel, including without limitation Mr. Bradley Edwards, which were requested in Defendant’s First Set of Discovery Requests, but were not produced despite certification of Plaintiff and Plaintiff’s counsel that such Responses were truthful and complete. 6  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1320-17 Filed 01/03/24 Page 8 of 25 Defendant objects to the characterization of Plaintiff’s documented false claims of sexual contact as “rape” or “sexual assault.” Without waiver of any such objections, Ms. Maxwell has made available documents related to some of Ms. Giuffre’s false allegations of sexual assault in her Second Supplemental Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(A) disclosures. DOCUMENT REQUEST NO. 6 Produce any Joint Defense Agreement entered into between You and Jeffrey Epstein from 1999 to the present. RESPONSE: Ms. Maxwell objects to this Request to the extent it seeks documents or information protected by the attorney/client privilege, the work-product doctrine, the common interest privilege or any other applicable privilege. Defendant is withholding production of any such agreement on the basis of such privileges. DOCUMENT REQUEST NO. 7 Produce any documents concerning any Joint Defense Agreement entered into between You and Jeffrey Epstein from 1999 to the present.

RESPONSE: Ms. Maxwell objects to this Request on the grounds that it is cumulative and duplicative. Ms. Maxwell has already produced documents related to her communications with Jeffrey Epstein in response to Plaintiff’s First Requests for Production of Documents, all of which document her denial that she did “recruit[] any female under the age of 18 for any purpose.” Ms. Maxwell also objects to this Request to the extent it seeks documents or information protected by the attorney/client privilege, the work-product doctrine, the common interest privilege or any other applicable privilege. Subject to and without waiver of the foregoing, Defendant has been unable to locate any additional documents responsive to this Request. 7  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1320-17 Filed 01/03/24 Page 9 of 25 DOCUMENT REQUEST NO. 9 Produce any Joint Defense Agreement entered into between You and Alan Dershowitz from 1999 to the present.

This request includes, but is not limited to, any documents concerning the Roadhouse Grill in Florida. RESPONSE: Ms. Maxwell objects to this Request as vague and confusing.
