13

14
+ Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, ("EPSTEIN"), by and through his undersigned
15
+ counsel, moves to dismiss Count Six of Plaintiff JANE DOE 103's Complaint for failure
16
+ to state a cause of action, as specified herein. Rule 12(b)(6), Fed.R.Civ.P. (2009); Local
17
+ Gen. Rule 7.1 (S.D. Fla. 2009). Defendant further moves for More Definite Statement
18
+ and to Strike. Rule 12(e) and (f), In support of his motion, Defendant states:
19
+ The Complaint attempts to allege 6 counts, all of which are purportedly brought
20
+ pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255 - Civil Remedies for Personal Injuries. Count Six is subject
21
+ to dismissal because the predicate act relied upon by Plaintiff for her claims did not come
22
+ into effect until July 27, 2006, well after the conduct alleged by Plaintiff occurred. The
23
+ More Definite Statement requested is for Plaintiff to allege her date of birth in that her
24
+ being a minor has significance in the claims she alleges.

29
+ Supporting Memorandum of Law
30
+ Principles of Statutory Interpretation
31
+ It is well settled that in interpreting a statute, the court's inquiry begins with the
32
+ plain and unambiguous language of the statutory text. CBS, Inc. v. Prime Time 24
33
+ Venture, 245 F.3d 1217 (11" Cir. 2001); U.S. v. Castroneves, 2009 WL 528251, *3 (S.D.
34
+ Fla. 2009), citing Reeves v. Astrue, 526 F.3d 732, 734 (11" Cir. 2008); and v.
35
+ Husband, 376 F.Supp.2d at 610 ("When interpreting a statute, [a court's] inquiry begins
36
+ with the text."). "The Court must first look to the plain meaning of the words, and
37
+ scrutinize the statute's 'language, structure, and purpose."" Id. In addition, in construing
38
+ a statute, a court is to presume that the legislature said what it means and means what it
39
+ said, and not add language or give some absurd or strained interpretation. As stated in
40
+ CBS, Inc., supra at 1228 - "Those who ask courts to give effect to perceived legislative
41
+ intent by interpreting statutory language contrary to its plain and unambiguous meaning
42
+ are in effect asking courts to alter that language, and "[courts have no authority to alter
43

69
+ All of Plaintiff's allegations of abuse occurred between January 2004 and May

75

77
+ Plaintiff does not specifically allege in her Complaint on which version of 18
78
+ U.S.C. §2255 she is relying. However, in Count Six of her Complaint, 150, she alleges
79
+ that Defendant "knowingly engaged in a child exploitation enterprise, as defined in 18
80
+ U.S.C. §2252A(g)(2), in violation of 18 U.S.C. §2252A(g)(I)." §2252A is one of the

100
+ to be dismissed as it relies on a statutory predicate act that did not exist at the time of the

102

+ Contracts." The Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause prevents the Legislature (and other
123
+ government actors) from depriving private persons of vested property rights except for
124
+ a "public use" and upon payment of "just compensation." The prohibitions on "Bills of
125
+ Attainder" in Art. I, §§ 9-10, prohibit legislatures from singling out disfavored persons
126
+ and meting out summary punishment for past conduct. See, e.g.. United States v.

128
+ Due Process Clause also protects the interests in fair notice and repose that may be
129
+ compromised by retroactive legislation; a justification sufficient to validate a statute's
130
+ prospective application under the Clause "may not suffice" to warrant its retroactive
131
+ application. Usery v. Turner Ellchorn Mining Co., 428 U.S. 1, 17, 96 S.Ct. 2882, 2893,

133
+ FN19. Article I contains two Ex Post Facto Clauses, one directed to Congress (§ 9,

136
+ L.Ed. 648 (1798) (opinion of Chase, J.).
137
+ These provisions demonstrate that retroactive statutes raise particular concerns. The
138
+ Legislature's unmatched powers allow it to sweep away settled expectations suddenly
139
+ and without individualized consideration. Its responsivity to political pressures poses a
140

207

+ The cases of U.S. v. Siegel, supra (11" Cir. 1998), and U.S. v.

+ supra (3d
211
+ Cir. 1998), also support Defendant's position that application of the current version of 18
212
+ U.S.C. §2255 would be in clear violation of the Ex Post Facto Clause. In Siegel, the
213
+ Eleventh Circuit found that the Ex Post Facto Clause barred application of the Mandatory
214
+ Victim Restitution Act of 1996 (MVRA) to the defendant whose criminal conduct
215
+ occurred before the effective date of the statute, 18 U.S.C. §3664(f)(1)(A), even though
216
+ the guilty plea and sentencing proceeding occurred after the effective date of the statute.
217
+ On July 19, 1996, the defendant Siegel pleaded guilty to various charges under 18 U.S.C.
218
+ §371 and §1956(a)(1)(A), (conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, and
219
+ laundering of money instruments; and money laundering). He was sentenced on March
220
+ 7, 1997. As part of his sentence, Siegel was ordered to pay $1,207,000.00 in restitution
221
+ under the MVRA which became effective on April 24, 1996. Pub.L. No. 104-132, 110
222
+ Stat. 1214, 1229-1236. The 1996 amendments to MVRA required that the district court

225
+
226
+ Case 998-eV80BU9WAJ Document 546 Entered On FLSD DOSKAt 0HOS2OAO PageS Of 15
227
+ must order restitution in the full amount of the victim's loss without consideration of the
228
+ defendant's ability to pay. Prior to the enactment of the MVRA and under the former 18
229
+ U.S.C. §3664(a) of the Victim and Witness Protection Act of 1982 (VWPA), Pub.I. No.
230
+ 97-291, 96 Stat. 1248, the court was required to consider, among other factors, the
231
+ defendant's ability to pay in determining the amount of restitution.
232
+ When the MVRA was enacted in 1996, Congress stated that the amendments to the
233
+ VWPA "shall, to the extent constitutionally permissible, be effective for sentencing
234
+ proceedings in cases in which the defendant is convicted on or after the date of enactment
235
+ of this Act [Apr. 24, 1996]." Siegel, supra at 1258. The alleged crimes occurred between
236
+ February, 1988 to May, 1990. The Court agreed with the defendant's position that 1996
237
+ MVRA "should not be applied in reviewing the validity of the court's restitution order
238
+ because to do so would violate the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States
239
+ Constitution. See U.S. Const. art I, §9, cl. 3."
240
+ The Ex Post Facto analysis made by the Eleventh Circuit in Siegel is applicable to
241
+ this action. In resolving the issue in favor of the defendant, the Court first considered
242
+ whether a restitution order is a punishment. Id, at 1259. In determining that restitution
243
+ was a punishment, the Court noted that §3663A(a)(1) of Title 18 expressly describes
244
+ restitution as a "penalty." In addition, the Court also noted that "Callthough not in the
245
+ context of an ex post facto determination, ... restitution is a 'criminal penalty meant to
246
+ have strong deterrent and rehabilitative effect.' United States v. Twitty, 107 F.3d 1482,
247
+ 1493 n. 12 (11th Cir.1997)." Second, the Court considered "whether the imposition of
248
+ restitution under the MVRA is an increased penalty as prohibited by the Ex Post Facto
249
+ Clause." Id, at 1259. In determining that the application of the 1996 MVRA would

+ Case 998-eV80BU9KAJ Document 546 Entered On FLSD DOSKA OHOSZOR PAGEDO 15
254
+ indeed run afoul of the Constitution's Ex Post Facto Clause, the Court agreed with the
255
+ majority of the Circuits that restitution under the 1996 MVRA was an increased penalty.*
256
+ "The effect of the MVRA can be detrimental to a defendant. Previously, after considering
257
+ the defendant's financial condition, the court had the discretion to order restitution in an
258
+ amount less than the loss sustained by the victim. Under the MVRA, however, the court
259
+ must order restitution to each victim in the full amount." Id, at 1260. See also U.S. v.
260
+ , 162 F.2d 87 (3'd Circuit 1998).
261
+ As discussed above, 18 U.S.C. §2255 was enacted as part of the criminal statutory
262
+ scheme to punish and penalize those who sexually exploit and abuse minors, and thus, the
263
+ Ex Post Fact Clause prohibits a retroactive application of the 2006 amended version.
264
+ Notwithstanding the above legal analysis, in the recent case of Individual Known
265
+ to Defendant As 08MIST096.JPG and 08mist067.jpg v. Falso, 2009 WL 4807537 (N.D.
266

267
+ addressed the issue of whether §2255 is a civil or criminal statute for purposes of the
268
+ constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy. The New York Court stated that
269
+ "looking to the plain language of §2255(a), it is clear that the statutory intent was to
270
+ provide a civil remedy. This is exemplified by the title ... and the fact that the statute
271
+ aims to provide compensation to individuals who suffered personal injury as a result of
272
+ criminal conduct against them." The New York Court in analyzing whether §2255
273
+ violated the Constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy, concluded that although

284
+ Therefore, because Jane Doe 103 has invoked the provisions of the criminal Non-

289
+ Although there does not exist any definitive ruling of whether the damages

291

328
+ $50,000 in value."
329
+ As Plaintiff's date of birth is significant to her §2255 claim, she should be
330
+ required to more definitely state her date of birth so that Defendant and this Court are

335
+ able to determine precisely when she reached the age of majority. (The age of majority
336
+ under both federal and state law is 18 years old. See 18 U.S.C. §2256(1), defining a
337
+ "minor" as "any person under the age of eighteen years;" and §1.01, Definitions, Fla.
338
+ Stat., defining "minor" to include "any person who has not attained the age of 18 years.")
339
+ To the extent that Plaintiff is relying on any alleged conduct that occurred after
340
+ her 18 birthday as an element of her §2255 claim, such allegations should be stricken as
341
+ immaterial and she should be required to more definitely state the dates of the alleged
342
+ conduct. See Rule 12(f). Defendant also seeks to strike 1910, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16,
343
+ of Plaintiff's Complaint as immaterial and impertinent. None of the allegations in those
344
+ paragraphs specifically pertain to the Plaintiff. Not until 917 does Plaintiff assert
345
+ allegations pertaining to her and the conduct of Defendant directly involving her. What
346
+ EPSTEIN may or may not have allegedly done with respect to other alleged girls does
347
+ not effect Plaintiff's claim brought pursuant to §2255. The allegations in 11910-16 are not
348
+ related to the elements of Plaintiff's §2255 claim and, thus, are required to be stricken.
349
+ Conclusion
350
+ Pursuant to the above, Count Six is required to be dismissed. In addition, Plaintiff
351
+ should be required to more definitely state her date of birth, and any conduct occurring
352
+ after her 18* birthday should be stricken, and 9910 - 16 of the Complaint should also be
353
+ stricken.

+ PLAINTIFES JANE DOES 2-8' MEMORANDUM IN
15
+ RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S RULE 4 APPEAL
16
+ Plaintiffs, Jane Does 2-8 ("Plaintiffs"), by and through undersigned counsel, file this
17
+ Memorandum in Response to Defendant's Rule 4 Appeal of the Magistrate Judge's Orders (DE
18
+ 480 and DE 513) directing Defendant to produce his income tax returns, as follows:
19
+ Introduction
20
+ Defendant appeals the Magistrate Judge's Orders (DE 480 and DE 513) compelling
21
+ Defendant to produce income tax returns and related forms and schedules. He fails, however, to
22
+ demonstrate that the Magistrate Judge's decision as to tax returns is clearly erroneous or contrary
23
+ to law. The applicable case law establishes that the tax returns are not protected from discovery
24
+ by the Fifth Amendment privilege under the act of production doctrine, or alternatively, that they
25
+ fall within the "required records" exception to the Fifth Amendment privilege.
26
+ The tax returns are indisputably relevant in these cases, particularly as to Plaintiff's
27
+ claims for punitive damages, and given the Defendant's invocation of the Fifth Amendment in
28
+
29
+
30
+ Case 9:08-cv-80994-KAM Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/28/2010 Page 2 of 10
31
+ blanket fashion to all requests for net worth discovery, there is a compelling need for this
32
+ discovery. Even if Plaintiffs could not demonstrate a compelling need for the tax returns in
33
+ discovery, under applicable Eleventh Circuit precedent and reported cases in this District,
34
+ Plaintiffs would be entitled to this discovery under the broad relevance standard of Fed. R. Civ.
35
+ P. 26(b). Finally, there is no basis to delay this discovery, as the tax returns are relevant to
36
+ punitive damages, which is an important, current issue in these cases. For the reasons set forth
37
+ herein, Plaintiff's request that the Magistrate Judge's Orders as to Defendant's tax returns be
38
+ affirmed and that Defendant be ordered to produce the tax return discovery requested by
39
+ Plaintiffs.
40
+ Argument
41
+ I.
42
+ DEFENDANT HAS BURDEN TO SHOW THAT MAGISTRATE
43
+ JUDGE'S ORDER IS CLEARLY ERRONEOUS OR CONTRARY TO LAW
44
+ In seeking reversal of the Magistrate Judge's Order as to discovery of tax returns, it is the
45
+ Defendant's burden to show that the order is "clearly erroneous or contrary to law". 28 U.S.C.
46
+ §636(b)(1). Absent such a showing, the Magistrate Judge's decision "shall not be disturbed."
47
+ Emmisive Energy Corp. v. Novatac, Inc., 2009 WL 2834841 *1 (S.D. Fla. 2009). In the instant
48
+ appeal, Defendant has not shown that the Magistrate Judge's Order to produce tax returns is
49
+ clearly erroneous or contrary to law.
50
+ Il.
51
+ THE ACT OF PRODUCTION OF TAX RETURNS IS NOT
52
+ PROTECTED BY THE FIFTH AMENDMENT PRIVILEGE
53
+ The Plaintiffs served the following document request in discovery, to which Defendant
54
+ asserted the Fifth Amendment privilege:
55
+ Request No. 1: All Federal and State income tax returns, including all W-2
56
+ forms, 1099 forms and schedules, for tax years 2003-2008.
57
+ The Magistrate Judge rejected the Defendant's privilege assertion as to tax returns. (De 480, pp.
58
+ 8-9). In so holding, the Magistrate Judge applied the act of production doctrine set forth in
59
+ 2
60
+
61
+
62
+ Case 9:08-cv-80994-KAM Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/28/2010 Page 3 of 10

+ Fisher v. United States, 425 U.S. 391, 410 (1976) and United States v. Hubbell, 530 U.S. 27, 35-
64
+ 36 (2000). As noted by the Magistrate Judge, "Defendant cannot reasonably and in good faith
65
+ argue that in producing these documents to Plaintiff he will somehow be incriminating himself."
66
+ (Order, p. 9). Yet, Defendant argues just that. In Hubbell, the Supreme Court made express
67
+ reference to tax returns in discussing documents that cannot be protected by the Fifth
68
+ Amendment privilege under the act of production doctrine:
69
+ [T]he fact that incriminating evidence may be the byproduct of
70
+ obedience to a regulatory requirement, such as filing an income
71
+ tax return, maintaining required records, or reporting an accident,
72
+ does not clothe such required conduct with the testimonial
73
+ privilege.
74
+ 120 U.S. at 2043, 530 U.S. at 35 (footnotes omitted) (emphasis supplied). Accord United States
75
+ v. Hammes, 3 F.3d 1081, 1083 (7th Cir. 1993) (*[wle reject [defendant's] compulsory selfincrimination claim because the government may use voluntarily filed tax returns against a
76
+ defendant without violating the Fifth Amendment"). See also Garner v. United States, 96 S.Ct.
77
+ 1178, 424 U.S. 648 (1976) (holding that disclosures in tax returns are not compelled
78
+ incriminations and may be used as evidence in criminal prosecution); Ebay, Inc. v. Digital Point
79
+ Solutions, Inc., 2010 WL 147967 *8 (N.D. Cal. 2010) (holding that a person cannot incriminate
80
+ himself by turning over a document already in the government's possession); Federal Savings
81
+ and Loan Ins. Corp. v. Hardee, 686 F. Supp 885 (N.D. Fla. 1988) (holding that personal income
82
+ tax returns and supporting schedules are not protected by the "act of production" doctrine under
83
+ Fisher).
84
+ As an alternative to finding that the Fifth Amendment privilege does not apply because
85
+ the act of producing documents is not testimonial and communicative, courts have invoked the
86
+ "required records" exception to the act of production doctrine. See Federal Saving & Loan Ins.
87
+ Corp. v. Rodrigues, 717 F. Supp. 1424, 1427 (N.D. Cal 1988) ("required records" exception is a
88
+ 3
89
+
90
+
91
+ Case 9:08-cv-80994-KAM Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/28/2010 Page 4 of 10
92
+ distinct basis to deny Fifth Amendment privilege alternative to the "foregone conclusion"
93
+ rationale under Fisher). The "required records" exception defeats the Fifth Amendment privilege
94
+ where: "(1) because of the public aspect of the required records the individual admits little of
95
+ significance by their production; and (2) by doing business in an area where the government
96
+ requires record keeping, an individual may be deemed to have waived the Fifth Amendment
97
+ privilege as to the production of those records." In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 21 F.3d 226, 229
98
+ (8th Cir. 1994).
99
+ Defendant contends that the "required records" exception does not apply to tax returns
100
+ because they cannot be accessed by the public. This is wrong, however, as the "required
101
+ records" exception requires only that there be "public aspects" to the documents at issue. Id.
102
+ Numerous courts that have addressed this precise issue have found that tax returns have "public
103
+ aspects". See Rodrigues, 717 F. Supp. at 1426-27 (citing cases); accord Doe v. United States,
104
+ 711 F.2d 1187, 1191 (2d Cir. 1983).' Accordingly, the "required records" exception applies to
105
+ the production of tax returns. In Rodrigues, the Court denied the Fifth Amendment privilege for
106
+ the act of producing tax returns under the "required records" exception, noting that "records filed
107
+ with a public body pursuant to a valid regulatory scheme have been held to have public aspects."
108
+ Id. at 1427. Accordingly, the fact that federal tax returns cannot be accessed by the general
109
+ public does not aid the Defendant. Accord Resolution Trust Corp. v.
110
+ 1, 794 F. Supp. 1, 3
111
+ (D.D.C. 1992).
112
+ Thus, there are two alternative grounds for holding that Defendant's assertion of the Fifth
113
+ Amendment privilege to production of tax returns is invalid: (1) the tax returns are in the
114
+ ' Defendant further appears to argue that the "required records" exception should be limited to
115
+ "highly regulated business (e.g., physicians)", citing In re Dr. John Doe, 97 F.R.D. 640, 641-643
116
+ (S.D.N.Y. 1982). In Dr. John Doe, however, the Court held contrary to Defendant's assertion
117
+ and consistent with the case law cited herein stating, "[w]e agree that some of these records (e.g
118
+ W-2 and other tax forms) may indeed fall within the required records exception." Id. at 644
119
+ (ordering that Dr. Doe comply with subpoena for W-2 forms).

124
+ possession of the government, their existence is a foregone conclusion, and there is no risk of
125
+ "implicit authentication" by Defendant's production of these documents; or (2) tax returns fall
126
+ within the "required records" exception to the act of production doctrine, and are thus not
127
+ protected by the Fifth Amendment. Under either of these grounds, the Defendant's tax returns
128
+ are not privileged and must be produced in discovery.
129
+ II. THERE IS NO HEIGHTENED BURDEN
130
+ FOR DISCOVERY OF TAX RETURNS
131
+ Defendant asserts that there is a heightened burden on a party seeking discovery of tax
132
+ returns, requiring that party to show not only relevance, but also that "a compelling need for the
133
+ tax returns exists because the information contained therein is not otherwise available." (Appeal,
134
+ p. 24). However, in the Eleventh Circuit this heightened burden has been rejected. "IT]he
135
+ Eleventh Circuit does not require a showing of compelling need before tax information may be
136
+ obtained by a party in discovery." Bellosa v. Universal Tile Restoration, Inc.., 2008 WL 2620735
137
+ (S.D. Fla. 2008) (citing Maddow v. Procter & Gamble Co., 107 F.3d 846 (11th Cir. 1997));
138
+ accord U.S. v. Certain Real Property, 444 F.Supp. 2d 1258 (S.D.Fla. 2006); Platypus Wear, Inc.
139
+ y. Clarke Modet & Co., 2008 W.L. 728540 (S.D. Fla. 2008); Preferred Care Partners Holding
140
+ Corp. v. Humana, Inc., 2008 WL 4500258 (S.D. Fla. 2008); Ruskin Co. v. Greenheck Fan Corp.,
141
+ 2009 WL 383349 (S.D. Fla. 2009). Significantly, in both Preferred Care and Ruskin the Court
142
+ affirmed the decision of a Magistrate Judge rejecting a higher standard for production of tax
143
+ returns, holding that, despite an arguable split of authority, ' the Magistrate Judge's decision was
144
+ not "contrary to law." Id. Likewise, the Magistrate Judge's decision in this case compelling
145
+ * Defendant relies upon Pendlebury v. Starbucks Coffee Co., 2008 WL 2105024 (S.D. Fla. 2005)
146
+ and Dunkin Donuts, Inc. v. Mary's Donuts, Inc., 2001 WL 34079319 (S.D. Fla. 2001), in which
147
+ the Court applied the higher standard. These cases do not consider the Eleventh Circuit's
148
+ opinion in Maddow, and the federal judges in this District over the past five years since

155
+ production of tax returns is consistent with authority in this District and the Eleventh Circuit, and
156
+ thus should be affirmed.
157
+ IIl.KEVIDENCE OF DEFENDANT'S FINANCIAL
158
+ STATUS AND HISTORY IS RELEVANT TO
159
+ PUNITIVE DAMAGES, AMONG OTHER ISSUES
160
+ Defendant does not go so far as to contend that the discovery of his tax returns is not
161
+ relevant under Fed.R.Civ.P. 26. Defendant only argues that the Magistrate Judge did not address
162
+ the relevancy standard in her Order. (Appeal, p. 25). As a result, Defendant does nothing to
163
+ show that the Magistrate Judge's Order as to tax returns is clearly erroneous or contrary to law.
164
+ In any event, it is abundantly clear that Defendant's financial status and history are relevant to
165
+ punitive damages, among other issues in these cases, and in this regard the Defendant's tax
166
+ returns are pertinent and discoverable. Tennant v. Charlton, 377 So.2d 1169 (Fla. 1979) (holding
167
+ that party may obtain tax returns for purposes of net worth discovery on issue of punitive
168
+ damages). See also State v. O'Malley, 53 S.W. 3d 623 (Mo. App. 2001) ("[ilt is well settled that
169
+ when a plaintiff seeks punitive damages against a defendant, evidence of the defendant's
170
+ financial status is both relevant and admissible"); Interstate Narrow Fabrics, Inc. V. Century
171
+ USA, Inc., 2004 WL 444570 (M.D. N.C. 2004) (holding that tax returns are relevant to the jury's
172
+ determination of the amount of punitive damages to award); E.J. Lavino & Co. v. Universal
173
+ Health Services, Inc., 1991 WL 275767 (E.D. Pa. 1991) ("[m]ost courts that have considered this
174
+ issue have held that a plaintiff seeking punitive damages may discovery information pertaining
175
+ to a defendant's net worth").
176
+ Defendant further argues that he should not have to produce his tax returns until it
177
+ becomes apparent" that "punitive damages will be an issue." (Appeal, p. 26). This argument
178
+ ignores Florida law on punitive damages. It is well established that "punitive damages are
179
+ always recoverable in intentional tort cases where malice is one of the essential elements of the
180
+ 6
181
+
182
+
183
+ Case 9:08-cv-80994-KAM Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/28/2010 Page 7 of 10
184
+ tort." Ciamar Marcay, Inc. v. Monteiro Da Costa, 508 So.2d 1282 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987)
185
+ (emphasis supplied). "In Florida it is clear that an act of intentional assault and battery
186
+ committed without legal justification supplies proof of malice." Joab, Inc. v. Thrall, 245 So.2d
187
+ 291 (Fla. 3d DCA 1971). Therefore, it is clear in this intentional tort case that punitive damages
188
+ are an issue. As this Court knows, Defendant Epstein is alleged to have perpetrated a plan and
189
+ scheme to sexually molest dozens of underage teenage girls."
190
+ Even assuming that the "compelling need" standard were applicable for discovery of tax
191
+ returns, clearly in this case there is a compelling need. Defendant has provided no net worth
192
+ discovery, asserting a blanket Fifth Amendment privilege.* Defendant nonetheless contends that
193
+ there exists an "alternative" - not to discovery of the necessary information, but through his offer
194
+ to "stipulate" to a net worth in the nine figures. Of course, a stipulation requires the consent of
195
+ the parties and there is no agreement in this case on the Defendant's net worth. Defendant
196
+ cannot unilaterally by fiat claim a certain net worth for purposes of trial. The law is well
197
+ established that a jury may determine punitive damages "by exacting from [the defendant's]
198
+ pocketbook a sum of money which, according to his financial ability, will hurt, but not
199
+ " Defendant's reliance on Gallina v. Commerce and Industry Ins., 2008 WL 3895918 (M.D. Fla.
200
+ 2008) is misplaced. Gallina is an insurance bad faith case and does not involve a claim of
201
+ punitive damages against an intentional tortfeasor. Moreover, in the present case it would make
202
+ no sense to have a different "stage" for punitive damages discovery or trial.
203
+ 4 "[T]he burden to identify an alternative source of the information lies with the resisting party."
204
+ Interstate Narrow Fabrics, 2004 WL 444570 at *2. Here, Epstein's blanket Fifth Amendment
205
+ privilege assertion to all net worth discovery makes it clear that there is a compelling need for
206
+ any net worth discovery not protected by the Fifth Amendment privilege.
207
+ S Defendant relies upon Myers v. Central Florida Investment, Inc., 592 F.3d 1201 (11th Cir.
208
+ 2010) for its "stipulation" argument. In Myers, however, the district court heard testimony
209
+ regarding each of the defendant's net worth. There was no unilateral statement of net worth in
210
+ Myers as Defendant wishes to create in the instant case. To the extent that Defendant relies
211
+ upon the Court's holding in Myers regarding the reasonableness of the trial court's award of
212
+ punitive damages, the issue of reasonableness is determined by the particular facts and
213
+ circumstances of the case and the discussion in Myers of this issue has no relevance here. Id.

218
+ bankrupt." Joab, Inc. v. Thrall, 245 So.2d 291 (Fla. 3d DCA 1971) (emphasis supplied).
219
+ Plaintiffs are therefore entitled to discovery on the Defendant's real net worth so that the jury
220
+ will be in a position to make an award that "will hurt". In any event, it seems beyond dispute
221
+ that Defendant's tax returns are relevant and discoverable, either under a straight relevance test
222
+ under Fed.R.Civ.P. 26 or a heightened "compelling need" standard.
223
+ Conclusion
224
+ Based on the foregoing, the Magistrate Judge's Orders as to Defendant's production of
225
+ tax returns in response to Plaintiffs" document request no. 1 are not clearly erroneous and not
226
+ contrary to law. As a result, the Magistrate Judge's Orders as to production of tax returns should
227
+ be affirmed. Plaintiffs respectfully request that the documents responsive to Plaintiffs' document
228
+ request no. 1 be ordered to be produced forthwith.

34
+ C.
35
+ Legal Standard: Legal conclusions, labels and formulaic recitations of the
36
+ elements of causes of action are insufficient to state a claim.
37
+ Plaintiff's claims based on alleged torts that occurred outside of New York
38
+ and those that occurred when she was an adult, regardless of location, are
39
+ time-barred
40
+ Plaintiff's claim for false imprisonment must be dismissed in its entirety
41
+ as untimely.
42
+ Plaintiff's claim for punitive damages against the Co-Executors must be
43
+ dismissed because each jurisdiction where the torts allegedly occurred
44
+ bars recovery of punitive damages against a deceased tortfeasor's estate.

172
+ Defendants Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn, as Co-Executors of the Estate of
173

174

175
+ Plaintiff Jane Doe's (*Plaintiff") Complaint (ECF Doc. 9) to the extent they are time-barred, Count
176
+ V in its entirety, and Plaintiff's demand for punitive damages against them.
177
+ PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
178
+ Several of Plaintiff's claims, which allege torts that ended over twenty years ago, are timebarred. Plaintiff alleges that Jeffrey E. Epstein ("Decedent"), now deceased, sexually abused her
179
+ starting in 1994, when she was 14, until sometime in 1999, when Plaintiff was an adult, in Florida,
180
+ New York and New Mexico. (Compl. 11 17-19, 21, 22, 24.) Plaintiff alleges she was 16 in 1996
181
+ (id. at 1| 20); she therefore turned 18 in 1998. Plaintiff asserts causes of action for sexual assault,
182
+ sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment, and seeks
183
+ punitive damages. (Id. at 11 33-58, 60.)
184
+ While preserving all rights and legal positions, the Co-Executors do not seek to dismiss
185
+ Plaintiff's first four claims (for battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress) in their
186
+ entirety. However, to the extent those claims are based on alleged torts that occurred in Florida or
187
+ New Mexico, or after Plaintiff turned 18, regardless of where they occurred, they are time-barred
188
+ and must be dismissed.
189
+ Further, Plaintiff's fifth claim (false imprisonment) must be dismissed in its entirety for
190
+ two reasons. First, the claim is time-barred regardless of how old Plaintiff was at the time or where
191
+ it occurred. Second, even if it were not time-barred, Plaintiff failed to allege the facts necessary to
192
+ assert a claim for false imprisonment.

196
+ Case 1:20-cv-00484-JGK-DCF Document 37 Filed 04/17/20 Page 7 of 14
197
+ Finally, Plaintiff's claim for punitive damages against the Co-Executors must be dismissed
198
+ as a matter of law. None of the jurisdictions where the alleged torts occurred permits recovery of
199
+ punitive damages in actions against the personal representatives of a decedent tortfeasor's estate.
200
+ ARGUMENT
201
+ A. Legal Standard: Legal conclusions, labels and formulaic recitations of the elements
202
+ of causes of action are insufficient to state a claim.
203
+ "To survive a motion to dismiss, a complaint must contain sufficient factual matter,
204
+ accepted as true, to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S.
205
+ 662, 678 (2009). While the Court must normally accept as true all well-pleaded factual allegations
206
+ in a complaint and draw all inferences in Plaintiff's favor, those principles are "inapplicable to
207
+ legal conclusions." Id. at 678 (2009) (citing Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 & 556
208
+ (2007)). Thus, a pleading that offers only "labels and conclusions" or "a formulaic recitation of
209
+ the elements of a cause of action will not do." Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555 (2007). Moreover,
210
+ "'[w]here [the] plaintiff's own pleadings are internally inconsistent, a court is neither obligated to
211
+ reconcile nor accept the contradictory allegations in the pleadings as true in deciding a motion to
212
+ dismiss."' Whitley v. Bowden, No. 17-cv-3564 (KMK), 2018 WL 2170313, at *11 (S.D.N.Y. May
213
+ 9, 2018) (quoting Carson Optical Inc. v. eBay Inc., 202 F. Supp. 3d 247, 255 (E.D.N.Y. 2016)).
214
+ B. Plaintiff's claims based on alleged torts that occurred outside of New York and
215
+ those that occurred when she was an adult, regardless of location, are time-barred.
216
+ In an apparent attempt to suggest her untimely claims have been revived by the New York
217
+ Child Victims' Act (CVA"), Plaintiff alleges that each of her causes of action has been brought
218
+ pursuant to it. (Compl. 11 37, 43, 48, 52 and 58.) However, Plaintiff ignores that the CVA does
219
+ not revive her claims (i) based on conduct that allegedly occurred after she turned 18 in 1998, or
220
+ 2
221
+
222
+
223
+ Case 1:20-cv-00484-JGK-DCF Document 37 Filed 04/17/20 Page 8 of 14
224
+ (il) outside of New York, regardless of Plaintiff's age at the time.'
225
+ The CVA creates a one-year window in which civil claims alleging damages "suffered as
226
+ a result of conduct which would constitute a sexual offense as defined in article one hundred
227
+ thirty of the penal law committed against a child less than eighteen years of age" may be filed
228
+ despite the statute of limitations having already run. CPLR § 214-g (emphasis added). The CVA's
229
+ New York Penal Law predicate applies only to acts that occurred in New York. See, e.g., WAYNE
230
+ R. LAFAVE, ET AL., CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, § 16.4(c) (4th ed. 2019) ("a state has power to make
231
+ conduct or the result of conduct a crime only if the conduct takes place or the result happens within
232
+ its territorial limits.").
233
+ Therefore, Plaintiff's claims based on torts occurring in New York after she became an
234
+ adult, as well as her claims based on torts occurring in Florida and New Mexico-regardless of
235
+ whether she was a minor at the time expired as follows:
236
+ • Florida: for torts occurring while she was a minor, the later of within seven years
237
+ shetsh treaded age or Deider le sometime in 2005 a vitiates, arither
238
+ four years from the time she discovered both her injury and the causal relationship
239
+ between that injury and the abuse (i.e., by sometime in 2003 at the latest)? (See Fla.
240
+ Stat. § 95.11(7)); and, within four years after Plaintiff reached age of majority (i.e..,
241
+ by sometime in 2002) (See Fla. Stat. § 95.11 (3)(O)).*
242
+ (S.D.N.Y. May 9, 2018).
243
+ 2 Plaintiff alleges she "escaped" from Decedent in 1999, when she moved to California. (Compl. 9 24.) Plaintiff could
244
+ not have depended on him after that time.
245
+ 3 Plaintiff does not allege belated discovery of her injuries. To the contrary, she alleges she has experienced pain and
246
+ suffering daily. (See, e.g., Compl. 11| 25, 36, 42.) Plaintiff further claims she "was aware of" Decedent's alleged false
247
+ imprisonment of her. (Id. at ( 54.)
248
+ * In 2010, the Florida Legislature enacted Fla. Stat. § 95.11(9), which provides: *An action related to an act constituting
249
+ a violation of's. 794.011 involving a victim who was under the age of 16 at the time of the act may be commenced at
250
+ any time. This subsection applies to any such action other than one which would have been time barred on or before
251

252
+
253
+
254
+ Case 1:20-cv-00484-JGK-DCF Document 37 Filed 04/17/20 Page 9 of 14
255
+ • New Mexico: for torts occurring while she was a minor, the later of the "first
256
+ instant" of Plaintiff's 24th birthday (i.e., sometime in 2004) or three years from the
257
+ date of the time that she knew or had reason to know of the childhood sexual abuse
258
+ and that the childhood sexual abuse resulted in an injury to her, as established by
259
+ competent medical or psychological testimony (Plaintiff makes no allegations in
260
+ this regard) (see N.M. Stat. § 37-1-30);S and three years after Plaintiff reached age
261
+ of majority (i.e., sometime in 2001) (see N.M. Stat. § 37-1-8).
262
+ • New York: excluding alleged torts subject to the CVA, if any, Plaintiff's causes of
263
+ action sounding in battery must be commenced within one year of accrual (see
264
+ CPLR § 215(3)); or, if Plaintiff's claims sound in personal injury, within three years
265
+ (see CPLR § 214(5)). Therefore, under New York law, Plaintiff's claims arising
266
+ from her alleged sexual abuse occurring in New York when she was no longer a
267
+ minor expired in 2002 at the latest.°
268
+ C. Plaintiff's claim for false imprisonment must be dismissed in its entirety as
269
+ untimely.
270
+ Plaintiff's false imprisonment cause of action (Count V) must be dismissed because the
271
+ CVA does not apply to it. As explained above, one of the two predicates for the CVA's application
272
+ is a civil claim arising from conduct which would constitute a sexual offense as defined in New
273
+ York Penal Law Art. 130:
274
+ July I, 2010." (emphasis added). As explained above, Plaintiff's cause of action based on alleged abuse in Florida
275
+ expired by 2005. Accordingly, Fla. Stat. § 95.11(9) is inapplicable to her claim.
276
+ 5 As her cause of action expired before the current version of N.M. Stat. § 37-1-30(A)(2) became effective on April 6,
277
+ 2017, Plaintiff is not entitled to avail herself of it. See In re Venie, No. 2017-NMSC-018, 395 P.3d 516 (Sup. Ct. N.M.
278
+ 2017) (distinguishing cases such as this, in which a cause of action expires before the enactment of a new limitations
279
+ period, from cases in which a new limitations period extends the time to bring a cause of action before the prior
280
+ limitations period had expired such that a defendant has no vested right in the statute of limitations defense based on
281
+ the prior limitations period). Rather, Plaintiff is only entitled to invoke the prior version of N.M. Stat. § 37-1-30(A)(2),
282
+ which provided that an action for damages based on personal injury caused by childhood sexual abuse must be
283
+ commenced "three years from the date of the time that a person knew or had reason to know of the childhood sexual
284
+ abuse and that the childhood sexual abuse resulted in an injury to the person, as established by competent medical or
285
+ psychological testimony." See current version of N.M. Stat. § 37-1-30(A)(2) ("An action for damages based on
286
+ personal injury caused by childhood sexual abuse shall be commenced by a person before the latest of the following
287
+ dates ... (2) three years from the date that a person first disclosed the person's childhood sexual abuse to a licensed
288
+ medical or mental health care provider in the context of receiving health care from the provider."). In any event,
289
+ Plaintiff fails to allege the condition precedent to either version of the statute.
290
+ " That Plaintiff's causes of action accruing outside New York are untimely under New York law alone renders those
291
+ claims time-barred. Plaintiff alleges she resides in California. (Compl. 9 4.) New York's borrowing statute, CPLR §
292
+ 202, provides that, when a non-New York resident such as Plaintiff sues on causes of action accruing outside New
293
+ York, the complaint must be timely under the statute of limitations of both New York and the jurisdiction where the
294
+ claim accrued. (As explained above, the torts that Plaintiff alleges occurred outside New York fall outside the scope
295
+ of the CVA.)

299
+ Case 1:20-cv-00484-JGK-DCF Document 37 Filed 04/17/20 Page 10 of 14
300
+ Notwithstanding any provision of law which imposes a period of limitation to the contrary
301
+ and the provisions of any other law pertaining to the filing of a notice of claim or a notice
302
+ of intention to file a claim as a condition precedent to commencement of an action or

304
+ intentional or negligent acts or omissions by a person for physical, psychological, or other
305
+ injury or condition suffered as a result of conduct which would constitute a sexual offense
306
+ as defined in article one hundred thirty of the penal law committed against a child less
307
+ than eighteen years of age, incest as defined in section 255.27, 255.26 or 255.25 of the
308

309
+ a sexual performance as defined in section 263.05 of the penal law, or a predecessor statute
310
+ that prohibited such conduct at the time of the act, which conduct was committed against
311
+ a child less than eighteen years of age, which is barred as of the effective date of this section
312
+ because the applicable period of limitation has expired, and/or the plaintiff previously
313
+ failed to file a notice of claim or a notice of intention to file a claim, is hereby revived, and
314
+ action thereon may be commenced not earlier than six months after, and not later than one
315
+ year and six months after the effective date of this section.
316
+ CPLR 214-g (emphasis added).
317
+ However, Article 130 of the New York Penal Law, titled "Sex Offenses," does not cover
318
+ conduct that would give rise to a claim of false imprisonment, but rather various types of sexual
319
+ abuse, misconduct, and assault. See N.Y.P.L. §§ 130.00, et seq. Conduct that could give rise to a
320
+ claim of false imprisonment, specifically, "knowingly unlawful restraint without consent," is
321
+ covered by Article 135 of the New York Penal Law, which address "unlawful imprisonment"
322
+ among "Kidnapping, Coercion and Related Offenses." N.Y.P.L. §§ 135.00, et seq.
323
+ Here, albeit in a formulaic, threadbare fashion, Plaintiff alleges as the basis of her false
324
+ imprisonment claims—as opposed to the conduct that forms the basis of her sexual assault and
325
+ sexual battery claims that Decedent and Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell 'imprison[ed]" her
326
+ "without lawful authority"—i.e., "unlawful imprisonment." (Compl. 9| 54.) While that alleged
327
+ underlying conduct may in theory give rise to a N.Y.P.L. § 135 violation, it cannot give rise to a
328
+ N.Y.P.L. § 130 violation. See In re M., 93 Misc. 2d 545, 549 (N.Y. Fam. Ct. Bronx Cnty. 1978)
329
+ ("Further argument advanced by respondent's attorney that the charge of unlawful imprisonment,
330
+ second degree, under section 135.05 of the Penal Law does not exist independently of the charge
331
+ 5
332
+
333
+
334
+ Case 1:20-cv-00484-JGK-DCF Document 37 Filed 04/17/20 Page 11 of 14
335
+ of sexual abuse, second degree [Penal Law 135.05], is equally without merit ... Clearly, the
336
+ elements of each of these crimes are totally different and each can stand independent of the
337
+ other.").
338
+ Therefore: (i) Plaintiff's false imprisonment claim is subject to the 1 - or 3-year statutes of
339
+ limitation set forth in CPR §§ 215(3) and 214(5), respectively; and (ii) accordingly, and
340
+ regardless of whether she was a minor at the time of the alleged false imprisonment, Count V
341
+ expired by 2002 at the latest.
342
+ D. Plaintiff's claim for punitive damages against the Co-Executors must be dismissed
343
+ because each jurisdiction where the torts allegedly occurred bars recovery of
344
+ punitive damages against a deceased tortfeasor's estate.
345
+ As a matter of law, none of the jurisdictions where Plaintiff alleges she was abused permits
346
+ her to recover punitive damages from the Co-Executors. It is black-letter law that the place of a
347
+ tort (here, Florida, New Mexico or New York) generally applies to the issue of punitive damages.
348
+ When determining which state's law applies, courts look to the choice-of-law rules of the forum
349
+ state. Simons v. Marriott Corp., No. 92 Civ. 3762 (SWK), 1993 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 14365, at *15

376

378
+ Dismissing
379
+ ; Plaintiff's punitive damages claim is procedurally proper. Judges in this
380
+ District regularly dismiss and strike punitive damages claims at the pleadings stage where, as here,
381
+ they are legally baseless, whether because they are barred by statute and black-letter law (as is the
382
+ case here) or where a plaintiff fails to allege facts that would permit them. See, e.g., The Cookware

406
+ CONCLUSION
407
+ For the reasons stated above, the Co-Executors respectfully request that the Court dismiss
408
+ Counts I-IV of Plaintiff's Complaint to the extent they are time-barred, Count V in its entirety, and
409
+ Plaintiff's demand for punitive damages, together with such other and further relief as is just and

+ DEFENDANT'S, MOTION FOR MODIFICATION AND RECONSIDERATION OF THE
15
+ MAGISTRATE'S ORDER DATED JUNE 1, 2010 (DE 555), WITH INCORPORATED
16
+ OBJECTIONS AND MEMORANDUM OF LAW
17
+ Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein (hereinafter "Epstein"), by and through his undersigned
18
+ attorneys, hereby files his Motion for Modification and Reconsideration of the Magistrate's
19
+ Order (DE 555) pursuant to Rule 60, Rule 4, Rule 4(c) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 53(e), and other
20
+ applicable Federal Rules and Local Rules. In support, Epstein states:
21
+ 1.
22
+ This court entered an order (DE 555) stating that Alfredo Rodriguez
23
+ ("Rodriguez") (DE 469), must produce, to the extent in his possession, "...any and all journal,
24
+ notes, diaries, and writings relating to Jeffrey Epstein including the journal described by
25
+ Rodriguez to Palm Beach Police that [allegedly] contains the names of girls who visited the
26
+ residence." (DE 555, p.2)
27
+ 2.
28
+ As set forth in Rodriguez's deposition, he was an employee of Epstein.
29
+ Rodriguez Deposition, Exhibit "A" at p. 12-13. Moreover, as an individual employee,
30
+ 1
31
+
32
+
33
+ Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 559 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/04/2010 Page 2 of 7
34
+ Rodriguez claims he executed a confidentiality agreement with Epstein. Exhibit "A" at p. 135.
35
+ Furthermore, in his plea agreement, Rodriguez "admitted removing [a book or journal] from
36
+ Epstein's home without Epstein's permission. ..." Plea Agreement, Exhibit "B" at p.8. In
37
+ short, if Rodriguez's testimony and Plea Agreement are correct, then he stole the property from
38
+ Epstein's home, which would be a breach of his fiduciary obligations as an employee, a breach
39
+ of the Employment Agreement he testified he executed and an invasion of Epstein's privacy
40
+ rights and potentially his commercially sensitive financial and trade secret information. To the
41
+ extent Rodriguez's testimony is true, Epstein never gave Rodriguez permission for this "journal"
42
+ or "book" to be removed.
43
+ 3.
44
+ This "book" or "journal" or "papers" could contain the names of Epstein's
45
+ business associates and other highly confidential commercially sensitive information that would
46
+ be entirely irrelevant to this action and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of
47
+ admissible evidence.
48
+ Accordingly, depending upon what this "book" or "journal" contains,
49
+ there may be commercially sensitive and trade secret information contained therein including,
50
+ but not limited to, lists of business associates which could result in irreparable harm to Epstein if
51
+ disseminated.
52
+ v. Silcox, 2001 WL 1200656 (S.D. Fla. 2001).
53
+ Courts have often enjoined the dissemination of confidential or private
54
+ information wrongfully obtained from the employer by a (now) ex-employee during the course
55
+ of his employment, either through a free-standing action for injunctive relief or in conjunction
56
+ with a tort action for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty. See, c.g., Saini V.
57
+ International Game Technology, 434 F.Supp.2d 913, 924 (D.Nev. 2006)(court finds that
58
+ company had shown likelihood of success in proving breach of implied covenant of good faith
59
+ and fair dealing where former employee's "decision to distribute internal IGT documents to a

64
+ party adverse to IGT in litigation demonstrates a deliberate attempt to violate the spirit of his
65
+ confidentiality agreements with IGT;" injunction issued); see also In re Zyprexa Injunction, 474
66
+ F.Supp.2d 385, 419 (E.D.N.Y. 2007)(court has power to enjoin dissemination of stolen
67
+ documents obtained in violation of court's protective order). Even where the employee is not
68
+ subject to a formal confidentiality agreement, "an employee may still be enjoined from using
69
+ confidential information where he or she has obtained such information by wrongful means, such
70
+ as theft or intentional memorization." Tactica Intern., Inc. V. Atlantic Horizon Intern., Inc., 154
71
+ F.Supp.2d 586, 608 (S.D.N.Y. 2001); Standard Brands, Inc. v. Zumpe, 264 F.Supp. 254, 262
72
+ (D.La. 1967)(internal quotation marks omitted). See A.H. Emery Co. v. Marcan Products Corp,
73
+ 268 F.Supp. 289, 299 (S.D.N.Y. 1967)("A confidential relationship exists between an employee
74
+ and his employer. It survives the termination of his employment. It does not depend on any
75
+ express contract. Disclosure by an employee of a trade secret entrusted to him by his employer in
76
+ the course of his employment is a classic instance of a disclosure which constitutes a breach of
77
+ confidence and which is therefore actionable. It is not necessary that the employee expressly
78
+ agree not to disclose it"), aff'd 389 F.2d 11 (2d Cir. 1968), cert. denied, 393 U.S. 835 (1968).
79
+ The simple fact is that this court must determine, in camera, what is in the "book" or "journal"
80
+ such that relevancy, privileges, privacy interests and commercially sensitive and trade secret
81
+ privileges can be addressed before disclosure.
82
+ 5.
83
+ Moreover, the right to privacy encompasses at least two different kinds of
84
+ interests, the individual interests of disclosing personal matters and the interest in independence
85
+ in making certain kinds of important decisions. Favalora v. Sidaway, 966 So.2d 895 (Fla. 4th
86
+ DCA 2008). The Supreme Court has "consistently held that a person has no legitimate
87
+ expectation of privacy in information he voluntarily turns over to the third parties."

92
+ Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 559 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/04/2010 Page 4 of 7
93
+ Maryland, 442 U.S. 735, 743-44, 99 S.Ct. 2577, 2582 (1979). To the extent this "book" or
94
+ "journal" exists, Rodriguez admitted that he took same without Epstein's permission. Therefore,
95
+ Epstein could not have voluntarily given same to him and, as such, Epstein has not waived any
96
+ objections, privileges and/or privacy interests in the "book" or "journal.". Likewise, Article 1, s.
97
+ 23, Right of Privacy, provides that every natural person has the right to be let alone and free from
98
+ governmental intrusion into the person's private life. Colorado v. Bertine, 479 U.S. 367, 387
99
+ (1986); State v. Jardines, 9 So.3d 1 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008)(the Fourth Amendment clearly protects
100
+ the right of people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects from intrusions); New
101
+ Jersey v. T.L.O., 469 U.S. 325, 375 (1985)(search of a woman's purse by a school administrator
102
+ is a serious invasion of her legitimate expectation of privacy). Based upon the foregoing,
103
+ Epstein should be afforded his due process rights to review this alleged "book" and/or "journal"
104
+ in an effort to determine what, if any, legal objections and privileges should be asserted before
105
+ disclosure.
106
+ 6.
107
+ As this court is well aware, there are serious 4"', s"*, 6, and 14"h Amendment
108
+ implications involved in this case. The fact that Rodriguez claims to have stolen the "book" or
109
+ "journal" gives this court good reason to, at the very least, hold an in camera proceeding to
110
+ determine if the confidential information set forth therein should be disclosed.
111
+ Epstein has not had the opportunity to review what is in this "book" or "journal"
112
+ to determine whether various legal objections should be made and to determine what, if any, 4*,
113
+ s"', 6*, and 14" Amendment implications would arise due to its disclosure as well as other legal
114
+ objections and privileges. See infra. Therefore, an in camera hearing should occur to determine
115
+ what objections and privileges must be raised before disclosure is made. U.S. v. Zolin, 491 U.S.
116
+ 554, 575 (1989)(disclosing materials to the district court does not have the legal effect of

121
+ terminating a privilege thereby allowing parties to disclose documents in camera and make that
122
+ in camera request - especially when there is a question as to whether those documents were
123
+ obtained by unlawful means); St. Andrews Park, Inc. v. U.S. Dept. of Army Corps of Engineers,
124
+ 299 F.Supp.2d 1264 (S.D. Fla. 2003)(court determined that an in camera proceeding was
125
+ appropriate when it involved a small volume of documents); see also In re Alberto Duque, 134
126
+ B.R. 679 (S.D. Fla. 1991)(in camera inspection afforded adequate protection against disclosure
127
+ of any privileged documentary material). A trial court departs from the essential requirements of
128
+ law in ordering production of confidential information without conducting an in camera review
129
+ to determine whether the assertion of privilege is valid. See Westco, Inc. v. Scott
130
+ Gardening & Trimming, Inc., 26 So. 3d 620, 622 (Fla. 4th DCA 2009).
131
+ If disclosure is made, this court should then determine what portions of the
132
+ "book" or "journal" should be produced, redacted and then subject to a heightened
133
+ confidentiality agreement.
134
+ Wherefore, Epstein requests that this court enter an order:
135
+ granting the relief requested above inclusive of a modification of the order
136
+ and or reconsideration of same for the reasons set out above:
137
+ b.
138
+ finding that an in camera hearing should occur to determine if any
139
+ privileges, objections, privacy interests, redactions and/or discovery objections can be
140
+ made by Epstein before disclosure is made and granting a reasonable time to do so;
141
+ C.
142
+ reversing the Magistrate's Order relative to the carte blanch production of
143
+ the "journal" and/or "book" (DE 555);
144
+ d.
145
+ likewise, if this court rules that the "book" or "journal" should be
146
+ produced, Epstein respectfully requests that it do so only after an in camera hearing
147
+ allowing the document to be reviewed and placed on a privilege log outlining why the
148
+ content of those documents have no relevance and establishing why the danger of
149
+ disclosure is more prejudicial than probative, and after this court determines what
150
+ portions of the requested document should be redacted as privileged including, but not
151
+ limited to, what portions should be redacted due to the confidentiality and privacy
152
+ interests, trade secret and commercially sensitive financial and business information.

+ Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 559 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/04/2010 Page 6 of 7
157
+ Again, the foregoing should only occur after this court ensures that the document (i.e., the
158
+ "journal" or "book") produced is the subject of a heightened-confidentiality order where
159
+ disclosure will result in the disclosing party being held in contempt of court; and
160
+ for such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper.

+ DEFENDANT'S. JEFFREY EPSTEIN, MOTION FOR SANCTIONS AND
15
+ TO COMPEL DEPOSITION OF JANE DOE NO. 4 AND MEMORANDUM IN
16
+ SUPPORT THEREOF
17
+ Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, by and through his undersigned attorneys, moves this
18
+ court for an order granting sanctions pursuant to Rule 30(d)(2) and (3)(A) and (C) (referencing
19
+ Rule 37(a)(5)), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and compelling the deposition of Jane Doe No.
20
+ 4 within fifteen (15) days and as grounds therefore would state:
21
+ On August 16, 2009, the deposition of Jane Doe No. 4 was noticed for September
22
+ 16, 2009 to begin at 1:00 p.m. Plaintiff's counsel had advised that Jane Doe No. 4 could not
23
+ appear for a deposition prior to that time of day, i.e. 1:00 p.m.
24
+ 2.
25
+ The deposition was originally set at the offices of the undersigned, but Plaintiff's
26
+ counsel requested that it be moved to the court reporter's office. The court reporter is Prose
27
+ Court Reporting located at 250 Australian Avenue South, Suite 115, West Palm Beach, FL
28
+ 33401.

35
+ The undersigned's office began attempting to set the deposition of Jane Doe No. 4
36
+ on July 21, 2009. Because of the number of attorneys who would be attending (based on the
37
+ court's consolidation order) coordinating the video deposition creates logistical problems.
38
+ 4.
39
+ On August 27, 2009, the undersigned wrote a letter to counsel for the Plaintiff
40
+ indicating that Mr. Epstein would be present at the deposition. A copy of that letter is attached
41
+ as Exhibit 1.
42
+ Some 13 days later, counsel for Jane Doe No. 4 filed a motion for protective order
43
+ on September 9, 2009 attempting to prohibit Mr.Epstein's presence at the deposition. The
44
+ Defendant immediately filed a response (an Emergency Motion) on September 11, 2009
45
+ requesting that the court enter an order allowing Epstein, the Defendant in this matter, to attend
46
+ the deposition. This is common procedure. See Exhibit 2, without exhibits. As of the date of
47
+ the deposition, the court had not ruled on these motions.
48
+ On Monday, counsel for Jane Doe No. 4 and the undersigned spoke, an agreement
49
+ was reached that the deposition would proceed as scheduled, and that Mr. Epstein would not be
50
+ in attendance other than by telephone or other means. See Exhibit 3.
51
+ The deposition was originally scheduled on the 15" Floor and moved by Prose to
52
+ a larger ground floor to accommodate the number of people who were to attend
53
+ 8.
54
+ The undersigned and his partner, Mark T. Luttier, had scheduled a meeting with
55
+ Mr. Epstein for approximately an hour prior to the deposition. It is well known through multiple
56
+ newspaper articles that Mr. Epstein's office at the Florida Science Foundation is located on the
57
+ 14"' Floor in the same building as the court reporter and Mir. Epstein's criminal attorney, Mr.
58
+ Goldberger. As well, had the court issued an order prior to the deposition that would have
59
+ allowed Mr. Epstein to attend, he was readily available.

65
+ 9.
66
+ As of 1:00 p.m., no order had been received from the court, so Epstein's
67
+ attorneys, in good faith, decided that Epstein would not attend the deposition (as per the
68
+ agreement), if we chose to proceed, which we were doing. The undersigned and Mr. Luttier
69
+ specifically waited until just after 1:00 o'clock, the time that the deposition was to start, prior to

+ leaving with Mr. Epstein, Counsel instructed Mr. Epstein to leave the building. Clearly,
71
+ Defendant and his counsel simply wish to have meaningful discovery.
72
+ 10.
73
+ The undersigned and Mr. Luttier exited the elevator heading toward the
74
+ deposition room and Mr. Epstein and his driver, Igor Zinoviev exited in separate elevator at the
75
+ same time and turned to depart from through the front entrance such that he could go to his home
76
+ to watch the deposition and assist counsel, from a video feed.
77
+ Completely unbeknownst and unexpected by anyone, apparently the Plaintiff and
78
+ her attorney(s) were at the front door where Mr. Epstein was intending to exit. Upon seeing two
79
+ women, one who might be the Plaintiff, Mr. Epstein immediately made a left turn and exited
80
+ through a separate set of doors to the garage area. See affidavit of Jeffrey Epstein and Igor
81
+ Zinoviev, Exhibit 4 and 5, respectively.
82
+ 12. The entire incident was completely unknown to the undersigned and Mr. Luttier
83
+ until Adam Horowitz, Esq. came in and announced that the deposition was not going to take
84
+ place in that Mr. Epstein and his client saw one another, she was upset and therefore the
85
+ deposition was cancelled from his perspective.
86
+ 13.
87
+ The undersigned and his partner, Mr. Luttier, had a court reporter and a
88
+ videographer present. Additionally, Mr. I on behalf of C.M.A., Adam Langino on behalf of
89
+ B.B., William Berger on behalf of three Plaintiffs were present for the deposition.

96
+ 14.
97
+ Any suggestion that the chance "visual" between Mr. Epstein and Jane Doe No. 4
98
+ was "pre-planned" would be absurd, disingenuous and false. The undersigned counsel went out
99
+ of his way to make certain Mr. Epstein would not be in the building after the time the deposition
100
+ was set to begin. Had the Plaintiff and her counsel been in the deposition room at the appointed
101
+ time, no visual contact would have occurred.
102
+ 15.
103
+ It is possible that Plaintiff's counsel, by filing their motion for protective order on
104
+ September 9, 2009 and then advising the undersigned on September 14, 2009 that the deposition
105
+ would not go forward unless the undersigned agreed to exclude Mr. Epstein from the deposition,
106
+ were not prepared and/or did not want to proceed with the deposition.
107
+ 16.
108
+ The unilateral termination of the deposition was unnecessary, inappropriate and a
109
+ substantial waste of attorney time and the costs related to the deposition (court reporter and
110
+ videographer). (See Affidavit of Robert D. Critton, Jr., Mark T. Luttier and Deposition
111
+ Transcript, Exhibits 6, 7, and 8 respectively).
112
+ 17. Had the "visual" been premeditated, the cancellation of the deposition may have
113
+ been justified, however, under these circumstances, it was grandstanding and improper. In that
114
+ the Plaintiff has stated that she voluntary went to JE's home 50 plus times without trauma until
115
+ she filed a lawsuit, this brief visual encounter from a distance should not have resulted in the
116
+ unilateral cancellation of her deposition.
117
+ The costs associated with the court reporter and videographer total $428.80. See
118
+ 18.
119
+
120
+ Memorandum of Law In support of Motion
121
+ A substantial amount of administrative time went into the setting up the deposition of
122
+ Jane Doe No. 4. Almost two months passed from the time that the Defendant's counsel first
123
+ 4

+

127
+ Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 305 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/17/2009 Page 5 of 8
128
+ requested a date for the deposition of Jane Doe No. 4. The deposition of Jane Doe No. 4 was to
129
+ begin at 1:00 p.m, based on her schedule, and was moved from the undersigned's office to the
130
+ office of the court reporter at her counsel's request.
131
+ Pursuant to Rule 30(d)(2) and (3)(A) and (C) and its reference to 37(a)(5)), Federal Rules
132
+ of Civil Procedure, the court may impose an appropriate sanction, including reasonable expenses
133
+ in attorneys fees incurred by any party on a person who impedes or delays the fair examination
134
+ of the deponent. In this instance, the brief visual encounter, which was completely unintended
135
+ and inadvertent, should not have been grounds for Plaintiff's counsel and Plaintiff refusing to
136
+ move forward with the deposition. Furthermore, pursuant to (3)(A) and (C), Plaintiff and
137
+ Plaintiff's counsel had no right to unilaterally terminate/cancel the deposition and fail to move
138
+ forward. Plaintiff should have continued with the deposition and filed any motion deemed
139
+ appropriate post deposition. Therefore, Defendant is asking for the costs associated with the
140
+ attendance of the court reporter, her transcript and the presence of the videographer. Defendant
141
+ would also request reasonable fees for 2.5 hours at $500 per hour for being required to prepare
142
+ this motion and affidavits associated with same.
143
+ The records obtained thus far on Jane Doe No. 4, do not reflect any "emotional trauma"
144
+ by her own account of some 50 plus visits to the Defendant's home prior to the time that she
145
+ hired an attorney. Even in her interview with attorney's handpicked expert, Dr. Kliman, by her
146
+ own comments, her significant emotional trauma relates to physical and verbal abuse by a prior
147
+ boyfriend, Preston Vineyard, and deaths associated with two close friends, Chris and Jen.
148
+ Therefore, the supposed "emotional trauma" caused by a chance encounter resulting in a
149
+ "glance" at best, should not be the basis for Plaintiff unilaterally cancelling her deposition.

375
+ Introduction and Background
376
+ On August 19, 2009, Defendant sent a Notice for Taking the Deposition of Jane
377
+ Doe No. 4 for September 16, 2009. See Exhibit "1"
378

385

386
+ 2.
387
+ Additionally, notices were sent out in other cases in connection with deposing
388
+ additional Plaintiffs.
389
+ 3.
390
+ No objection(s) was/were received for Jane Doe No. 4, which was the only
391
+ deposition set relative to the Jane Doe 2-8 Plaintiffs.
392
+ 4.
393
+ On August 27, 2009, the undersigned counsel sent a letter to counsel for Jane Doe
394
+ No. 4 concerning her deposition and the scheduling of same on the above date. See Exhibit "2".
395
+ 5.
396
+ No response was received until counsel for Jane Doe No. 4 called on September
397
+ 8, 2009, approximately eight days prior to the scheduled deposition, to indicate that they now
398
+ had an objection and would be filing a motion for protective order seeking to prevent Epstein
399
+ from attending the deposition. Once again, Plaintiffs are attempting to stifle this litigation
400
+ through their own delay tactics during discovery. Plaintiffs wish not only to attempt to force
401
+ Epstein to trial without any meaningful discovery, but now wish to ban Epstein from any
402
+ depositions, thereby preventing him from assisting his attorneys in his very own defense. What's
403
+ next - will Plaintiffs seek to prevent Epstein from attending any of the trials that result from the
404
+ lawsuits Jane Does 2-8 have initiated? Plaintiffs see millions of dollars in damages, both
405
+ compensatory and punitive, against Defendant.
406
+ 6.
407
+ Defendant is filing this emergency motion and his immediate response to the
408
+ motion for protective order to guarantee his right to be present and assist counsel in deposing not
409
+ only Jane Doe No. 4, but other plaintiffs and witnesses in these cases. To hold otherwise would
410
+ violate Epstein's due process rights to defend the very allegations Plaintiffs have alleged against
411
+ him. Does a Defendant not have a right to be present at depositions or other court proceedings to
412
+ assist counsel with the defense of his case? Does a Defendant, no matter what the charges or the
413
+ allegations, have full and unbridled access to the court system and the proceedings it governs,
414
+
415
+
416

419
+ Entered on FLSD Docket 09/11/2009 Page 3 of 33
420
+ Page 3
421
+ including discovery? The short answer is unequivocally, yes. To hold otherwise would be a
422
+ direct violation of Epstein's constitutional due process rights. Plaintiffs' attempts to play fast
423
+ and loose with the law should not be tolerated.
424
+ 7.
425
+ As the court is aware, plaintiffs and defendants routinely attend depositions of
426
+ parties and other witnesses in both State and Federal court proceedings. In fact, parties have a
427
+ right under the law to attend such depositions.
428
+ 8. As the court will note from Exhibit 2, counsel for the Defendant specifically
429
+ stated that "Please be advised that Mr. Epstein plans to be in attendance at the deposition of your
430
+ client. He does not intend to engage in any conversation with your client. However, it is
431
+ certainly his right as a party-defendant in the lawsuit to be present and to assist counsel in the
432
+ defense of any case." Despite this right, Plaintiffs continue to attempt to control how discovery
433
+ is conducted in this case and how this court has historically governed discovery.
434
+ 9.
435
+ Interestingly, in Jane Doe II, the state court case, attorney Sid
436
+ took the
437
+ deposition of the Defendant and his client, Jane Doe II, was present throughout the deposition.
438
+ This is despite her claims of "emotional trauma" set forth in her complaint. Jane Doe No. II is
439
+ also a Plaintiff in the federal court proceeding Jane Doe II v. Jeffrey Epstein (Case No. 09-CIV-
440
+ 80469). Is this court going to start a precedent where it allows Plaintiffs to attend the depositions
441
+ of Jeffrey Epstein, but not allow Epstein to attend their depositions (i.e., the very Plaintiffs that
442
+ have asserted claims against him for millions of dollars)? This court should not condone such a
443
+ practice.
444
+ 10.
445
+ The undersigned is well aware of the court's No-Contact Order entered on July
446
+ 31, 2009 (DE 238). A copy of the order is attached as Exhibit "3". In fact, the order provides
447
+ that the defendant have no direct or indirect contact with the plaintiffs, nor communications with
448
+
449
+

+ Case 9:08-Cv-80119-KAM Document 322-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/23/2009 Page 13 of

453
+ Page 4
454
+ the plaintiffs either directly or indirectly. However, there is no prohibition against Mr. Epstein's
455
+ attendance at a deposition where, as is reflected in the order, the communication will be made to
456
+ the plaintiff solely through defense counsel with one or more of plaintiffs' counsel of record
457
+ present in the room in a videotaped deposition. Obviously, any inappropriate contact or
458
+ communication will certainly be flagged by the attorneys in attendance. As such, Plaintiffs
459
+ really have the cart before the horse in this instance (i.e., nothing prevents Epstein from attending
460
+ these depositions and, to the extent Plaintiffs believe that something improper occurs at any
461
+ deposition, only then can that circumstance be addressed by a motion such as the instant one.)
462
+ 11. Next, Plaintiffs, Jane Does 2-8, attempt to use the Affidavit of Dr. Kliman for
463
+ every motion for protective order/objection filed to date. This also includes the two most recent
464
+ motions, which attempt to prevent Defendant's investigators from doing their job, such that the
465
+ Defendant and his attorneys can defend the claims asserted in these cases. Plaintiffs lose sight of
466
+ the fact that the court, in discussing the Non-Prosecution Agreement, inquired as to whether
467
+ Epstein and his counsel could fully defend the case, which included discovery and investigation.
468
+ All plaintiffs' counsel and the USAO responded in the affirmative. In fact, Plaintiffs universally
469
+ agreed at the June 12, 2009 hearing on Defendant's Motion to Stay that regular discovery could
470
+ proceed. See Composite Exhibit "4" at pages 26-30 & 33-34. For instance, the court asked
471
+ Plaintiffs' attorneys the following questions:
472
+ The Court: ) So again, I just want to make sure that if the cases go forward and
473
+ if Mr. Epstein defends the case as someone ordinarily would defend a case being
474
+ prosecuted against him or her, that that in and of itself is not going to cause him t
475
+ ›e subject to criminal prosecution? (Ex. "A," p.26)
476
+ The Court: You agree he should be able to take the ordinary steps that a
477
+ defendant in a civil action can take and not be concerned about having to be
478
+ prosecuted? (Ex. "A," p.27).
479

485
+ ***
486
+ The Court: Okay. But again, you're in agreement with everyone else so far
487
+ that's spoken on behalf of a plaintiff that defending the case in the normal course
488
+ of conducting discovery and filing motions would not be a breach? (Ex. "A,"
489
+ p.30).
490
+ Mr. Horowitz - counsel for Jane Does 2-7: Subject to your rulings, of course,
491
+ yes. (Ex. "A," p.30).
492
+ ***
493
+ The Court: But you're not taking the position that other than possibly doing
494
+ something in litigation which is any other discovery, motion practice,
495
+ investigations that someone would ordinarily do in the course of defending a civil
496
+ case would constitute a violation of the agreement? (Ex. "A," p.34).
497
+ Ms. Villafana: No, your honor. I mean, civil litigation is civil litigation, and
498
+ being able to take discovery is part of what civil litigation is all about.... But...,
499
+ Mr. Epstein is entitled to take the deposition of a Plaintiff and to subpoena
500
+ 12. It is clear from the transcript attached as Exhibit "4" that each of the Plaintiffs'
501
+ attorneys, including Mr. Horowitz for Jane Does 2-8, expected and conceded that
502
+ regular/traditional discovery would take place (i.e., discovery, motion practice, depositions,
503
+ requests for records, and investigations).
504
+ 13.
505
+ Importantly, Plaintiffs' counsel advised the undersigned that they coordinate their
506
+ efforts in joint conference calls at least two times per month. At recent depositions of two
507
+ witnesses, Alfredo Rodriguez and Juan Alessi, five different plaintiffs' attorneys questioned the
508
+ witnesses for approximately six to eight hours, often repeating the same or similar questions that
509
+ had previously been asked.
510
+ 14.
511
+ Clearly, the Plaintiffs' counsel wish to control discovery and how the Defendant
512
+ is allowed to obtain information to defend these cases. However, the court has ruled on a
513
+ number of these issues as follows:
514
+ A.
515
+ Plaintiffs' counsels sought to preclude the Defendant from serving third
516
+ party subpoenas and allowing only Plaintiffs" counsel to obtain
517
+

525
+ depositions and those materials and "filter them" to defense counsel.
526
+ That motion was denied, and the court tailored a method such that the
527
+ Defendant could obtain the records directly.

+ Plaintiffs'
529
+ Praminion in Col V. Setter pen and a doladic asylo, 08-
530
+ (Case No. 08-
531
+ MIY-80811), as to time, subject matter and scope. However, Magistrate
532
+ entered an order denying the requested restrictions.
533
+ Other Plaintiffs" attorneys have said that they object to requested
534
+ psychological exam of their clients), thus motions for such exams will
535
+ now need to be filed; yet all seek millions of dollars in damages for
536
+ alleged psychological and emotional trauma.
537
+ Many Plaintiffs' object to discovery regarding current and past
538
+ employment (although they are seeking loss of income, both in past and
539
+ All Plaintiffs object to prior sexual history, consensual and forced as
540
+ being irrelevant, although in many of the medical records that are now
541
+ being obtained, as well as the psychiatric exams done by Dr. Kliman,
542
+ there is reference to rape, molestation, abusive relationships (both
543
+ physical and verbal), prior abortions, illegal drugs and alcohol abuse.
544
+ 15.
545
+ Clearly, Plaintiffs wish to make allegations; however, they forget that they must
546
+ meet their burden by proving same. Meeting that burden and disproving those allegations is not
547
+ possible if this court allows Plaintiffs to stifle and/or control the discovery process.
548
+ 16.
549
+ Specifically, with regard to Jane Doe No. 4, which is the deposition set for next
550
+ week, September 16, 2009, the plaintiff has in her past (see affidavit of Richard C.W.
551

568
+ Spoke with two psychiatrists when she was sixteen or seventeen (before
569
+ this lawsuit!) and did not reference Epstein, but did reference her
570
+ boyfriend and family issues.
571
+ 17. There are police reports that reflect that:
572
+ A.
573
+ In September 2004, a battery report was filed regarding Jane Doe No. 4
574
+ and Vinyard based on an argument where he grabbed her by the neck and
575
+ began spitting on her and calling her a cheater.
576
+ B.
577
+ Also in September 2004, there was a domestic violence file opened where
578
+ Vinyard was physically and verbally abusive to Jane Doe No. 4, his
579
+ girlfriend at the time.
580
+ There is reference that the two started a serious
581
+ relationship in January 2002, when she was only fourteen (14) years old.
582
+ C.
583
+ Vinyard was arrested in December 2003, and charged with reckless
584
+ driving and leaving the scene of the accident with Jane Doe No. 4, when
585
+ their vehicle hit a tree and they fled.
586
+ 18.
587
+ Moreover, an ex-boyfriend of Jane Doe No. 4 died in a DUI accident and it took
588
+ her two years to get over his death, and another good friend of hers, "Jen," died in an automobile
589
+ accident involving drinking. Within her Amended Complaint and Answers to Interrogatories,
590
+ she indicates that she went to Epstein's house on several occasions. However, at no time did she
591
+ call the police, at no time did she report any traumatic or severe emotional trauma, not alleged
592
+ coercion, force or improper behavior by Epstein until she got a "lawyer" and is now pursuing
593
+ claims for millions of dollars. Epstein's assistance to his attorneys at these depositions regarding
594
+ the above issues is not only a constitutional due process right afforded to him but essential given
595
+ the fact that this court has ruled that Plaintiffs' depositions can only occur one time, no "second
596
+ bite" absent a court order.
597
+ 19.
598
+ Given the breadth of the allegations made against Epstein and the substantial
599
+ damages sought, Epstein has an unequivocal and constitutional right to be present at any
600
+ deposition such that he can assist his counsel with the defense of these cases. See infra. Dr.

609
+ Memorandum Of Law
610
+ 20.
611
+ Plaintiffs' motion is required to be denied as they have failed to meet their burden
612
+ showing the "extraordinary circumstances" necessary to establish good cause to support a
613
+ protective order which would grant the extraordinarily rare relief of preventing a named party
614
+ from attending in person the deposition of another named party. Also requiring denial of
615
+ Plaintiffs' motion is the fact that it seeks to exclude Epstein from all the depositions of all the
616
+ Plaintiffs in actions before this Court. Such relief is unprecedented and attempts to have this
617
+ Court look at the Plaintiffs' collectively as opposed to analyzing each case based on facts versus
618
+ broad speculation whether "extraordinary circumstances" exist on a case by case basis. In other
619
+ words, the standard is such that the Court would be required to determine whether each Plaintiff
620
+ has met her burden, should the Court consider adopting such extraordinary relief. On its face,
621
+ the motion does not meet the necessary burden as to Jane Doe 4, or Jane Does 2, 3, 5, 6, or 7.
622
+ Discussion of Law Requiring the Denial of the Requested Protective Order
623
+ Rule 26(c)(1)(E), Fed.R.Civ.P. (2009), governing protective orders, provides in relevant
624
+ part that:
625
+ (1) In General. A party or any person from whom discovery is sought may move for
626
+ a protective order in the court where the action is pending--or as an alternative on
627
+ matters relating to a deposition, in the court for the district where the deposition will
628
+ be taken. The motion must include a certification that the movant has in good faith
629
+ conferred or attempted to confer with other affected parties in an effort to resolve the
630
+ dispute without court action. The court may, for good cause, issue an order to
631
+ protect a party or person from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or
632
+ undue burden or expense, including one or more of the following:
633
+ (E) designating the persons who may be present while the discovery is conducted;

642
+ In seeking to prevent the Defendant from being present in the room where the Plaintiffs
643
+ are being deposed, Plaintiffs generally rely on treatise material from
644
+ &
645
+ , 8 Federal
646
+ Practice & Procedure Civ.2d, §2041, and cases cited therein. The case of Gaella v. Onassis, 487
647
+ F.2d 986, at 997 (2d Cir. 1973), cited by Plaintiffs, makes clear that the exclusion of a party from
648
+ a deposition "should be ordered rarely indeed." Unlike the Gaella case, there is no showing by
649
+ each of the Plaintiffs that there has been any conduct by Epstein, in rightfully defending the
650
+ actions filed against him, reflecting "an irrepressible intent to continue ... harassment" of any
651
+ Plaintiff or a complete disregard of the judicial process, i.e. prior alleged conduct versus any
652
+ action/conduct displayed in this or other cases that would justify extraordinary relief. There is
653
+ absolutely no basis in the record to indicate that Epstein will act other than properly and with the
654
+ proper decorum at the depositions of the Plaintiffs and abide in all respects with the No-Contact
655
+ Order.
656
+ Wherefore, Epstein respectfully requests that this Court enter an order denying Plaintiffs'
657
+ Motion for Protective Order, provide that Epstein is permitted to attend the depositions of the
658
+ Plaintiffs that have asserted claims against him in the related matters, and for such other and
659
+ further relief as this court deems just and proper.

823

824

825
+ motion, which I do not want to do given how we have worked together on these issues in the
826
+ past. Let me know, pike.

1231
+ We're canceling today's deposition. Before
1232

1233
+ Defense counsel that Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, the
1234
+ Defendant, would not be here. He would not
1235
+ cross paths with our client.
1236
+ And immediately as we were approaching the
1237
+ deposition room, he made face-to-face contact
1238
+ with our client. He was just feet away from
1239

1295

1296
+ because I, obviously, was not out there. We
1297
+ started at about - when you came in it was
1298
+ approximately 1:03. Mr. Epstein has an office
1299
+ here at the Florida Science Foundation. Had
1300
+ you been here at 1:00, your paths never would
1301
+ have crossed because Mr. Epstein was leaving
1302
+ the building. I instructed him to leave the
1303
+ building so that he would not be here.
1304
+ He was going to appear by way of Skype so
1305
+ that he could be on a video camera so that he
1306
+ could see this.
1307
+ (Mr. Goldberger entered the room.)
1308
+ MR. CRITTON; Had you been here on time,
1309
+ and not faulting, I am just saying had you been
1310
+ here on time at 1:00, as everyone else seemed
1311
+ to be here at least get here before you dia,
1312
+ Adam, you and your client, your paths never
1313
+ would have crossed.
1314
+ I directed Mr. Epstein to leave the
1315
+ building so he would not be here so that there
1316
+ would be no way that your paths could have
1317
+ crossed. It was neither my intent nor was it

1379
+ my client's intent specifically, because I also
1380
+ advised him that he was not to cross paths, not
1381
+ to have any contact with your client, and
1382
+ certainly by our agreement not to be here today
1383
+ for the deposition.
1384
+ MR. HOROWITZ: And at approximately 1:00
1385
+ is exactly when my client crossed paths with
1386
+ Jeffrey Epstein. And not only did he cross
1387
+ paths but he proceeded to stare her down just
1388
+ feet away from her. For that reason she became
1389
+ an emotional wreck and cannot proceed with the
1390
+ deposition. She's simply not in an emotional
1391
+ state to do so.
1392
+ And in addition Mr. Epstein violated the
1393
+ agreement between counsel that he would not
1394
+ cross paths or come into contact with our
1395
+ client. And it will be also for the criminal
1396
+ court judge to decide whether he has violated a
1397
+ no-contact order. I have nothing else to say.
1398
+ MR. CRITTON: Again I instructed
1399
+ Mr. Epstein to leave the building so absolutely
1400
+ no contact could occur between he and
1401
+ Mr. Horowitz and his client nor anyone else.
1402
+ Until the court, until either Judge Marra or
1403
+ Judge
1404
+ ruled on the issue as to whether
1405
+ Page 7
1406
+ or not he could appear at the depositions of
1407
+ not only Jane Doe 4 but any other individuals,
1408
+ so you do what you need to do.
1409
+ MR. HOROWITZ: Off the record.

+ FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
130
+ 23. At all times material to this cause of action, Epstein was an adult male over 45
131
+ years old. Epstein was a tremendously wealthy individual, widely recognized as a billionaire,
132
+ who used his wealth, power, resources, and connections to commit illegal sexual crimes in
133
+ violation of federal and state laws and who employed or conspired with other individuals and
134
+ corporate entities to assist him in committing those crimes or torts or who facilitated or enabled
135
+ those acts to occur.
136
+ 24. Epstein displayed his enormous wealth, power, and influence to his employees; to
137
+ the employees of the corporate or company entities who worked at his direction, to the victims
138
+ procured for sexual purposes; and to the public, in order to advance, carry out, and conceal his
139
+ crimes and torts.
140
+ 25. At all relevant times, Epstein had access to numerous mansions, as well as a fleet
141
+ of airplanes, motor vehicles, boats and one or more helicopters. For example, he regularly
142
+ traveled by private jet aboard a Boeing aircraft (of make and model B-727-31H with tail number
143
+ N908JE) or a Gulfstream aircraft (of' make and model G-1159B with tail number N909JE).
144
+ 26.
145
+ Epstein also inhabited and frequently travelled between numerous properties and
146
+ homes, each of which he admitted to being owned or controlled by him, including a Manhattan
147
+ townhome located at 9 East 71" Street, New York, New York 10021 valued conservatively by
148
+ Epstein's own admission at $55,931,000.00 (but valued by the US Attorney's office for this
149
+
150
+
151
+
152
+ District at $77,000,000); a ranch located at 49 Zorro Ranch Road, Stanley, New Mexico 87056
153
+ valued conservatively by Epstein's own admission at $17,246,208.00; a home located at 358 El

156
+ conservatively by Epstein's own admission at $8,672,820.00; an Island located at Great St.
157
+ James Island No. 6A USVI 00802 (parcels A, B, and C); and an Island Little St. James Island
158
+ No. 6B USVI 00802 (parcels A, B, and C). See Jeffrey Epstein "Asset Summary - June 30,
159
+ 2019" filed in Case No. 1:19-cr-00490-RMB on July 15, 2019 attached hereto as Exhibit A.
160
+ 27.
161
+ Epstein controlled or was affiliated with the corporation or business entities that
162
+ owned, managed, or maintained each of the real properties listed in the preceding paragraph and
163
+ enumerated in Exhibit A.
164
+ 28.
165
+ The allegations herein concern Epstein's tortious conduct committed against
166
+ Plaintiff while at the residences owned by Defendant Nine East in New York, Defendant Laurel
167
+ in Florida, Defendant Cypress in New Mexico and Defendants LSJE and Nautilus in the U.S.
168
+ Virgin Islands. Many such acts were facilitated by Defendant NES or Defendant HBRK or
169
+ Defendant JEGE.
170
+ 29.
171
+ Epstein had a compulsive sexual preference for young females, as young as 14
172
+ years old, and acted on that sexual preference for decades.
173
+ 30.
174
+ Epstein enjoyed sexual contact with young females, including minor children, and
175
+ also took pleasure corrupting vulnerable and innocent young females, including minor children,
176
+ into engaging in sexual acts with him.
177
+
178
+
179
+
180
+ 31.
181
+ Epstein directed a complex system of individuals, including employees and
182
+ associates of Defendant entities, to work in concert and at his direction, for the purpose of
183
+ harming young females through sexual exploitation, abuse and trafficking.
184
+ 32.
185
+ It was widely known among individuals regularly in Epstein's presence that he
186
+ obtained pleasure from corrupting and inducing vulnerable young females into engaging in
187
+ uncomfortable and unwanted sexual acts for his own gratification.
188
+ 33.
189
+ Epstein's illegal sexual activities were investigated by law enforcement on at least
190
+ two occasions, once in 2005-2008 by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of
191
+ Florida, and more recently by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
192
+ 34.
193
+ On July 2, 2019 the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of
194
+ New York filed a sealed Two Count Indictment including One Count of Sex Trafficking
195
+ Conspiracy and One Count of Sex Trafficking for violations of 18 U.S.C. §1591, in part due to
196
+ Epstein's criminal activities against children in the New York Mansion located at 9 East 71$
197
+ Street.
198
+ 35.
199
+ In addition to the allegations in the criminal indictment referenced above, Epstein
200
+ also utilized a similar, if not the same; scheme many years before the time period that was
201
+ charged and many years after as well as in additional locations nationally and internationally.
202
+ 36.
203
+ Corporate Defendants enabled Epstein to receive daily massages from young
204
+ females, often minors, who were not experienced in massage. Rather than receive regular body
205
+ massages, Epstein was predictably sexually abusing young females, including Plaintiff, in
206
+ violation of New York Penal Law $130.
207
+
208
+
209
+
210
+ 37.
211
+ Additionally, employees of the various Corporate Defendants performed actions
212
+ or failed to perform actions that further placed victims, including Plaintiff, in danger of being
213
+ sexually abused by Epstein, and assisted in the concealment of his sexually abusive acts.
214
+ 38.
215
+ Defendants employed many recruiters of young females, or directed employees of
216
+ his related companies, to recruit young females In order to grow the enterprise and satisfy his
217
+ insatiable sexual desire, Epstein and those working at his direction enabled victims themselves to
218
+ elevate their status within the enterprise to that of a paid recruiter of other victims, an elevation
219
+ only made possible through the assistance of Defendants.
220
+ 39.
221
+ Recruiters were taught by Epstein or by employees of Corporate Defendants to
222
+ inform targeted young female victims that Epstein possessed extraordinary wealth, power,
223
+ resources, and influence; that he was a philanthropist who would help female victims advance
224
+ their education, careers, and lives; and that she only needed to provide Epstein with body
225
+ massages in order to avail herself of his nearly unlimited assistance and influence.
226
+ 40.
227
+ Epstein and Corporate Defendants and their many employees fulfilled Epstein's
228
+ compulsive need for sex with young females by preying on their personal, psychological,
229
+ financial, and related vulnerabilities. Epstein and Defendants' tactics included promising the
230
+ victims money, shelter, transportation, gifts, employment, admission into educational
231
+ institutions, education tuition, professional licensure, protection, healthcare and other things of
232
+ value.
233
+ 41.
234
+ Epstein's sexual attraction to young, often underage, females dated back to at
235
+ least the mid-nineties and the number of victims increased substantially with the necessary
236
+ assistance from Defendants and Defendants' employees.
237
+
238
+
239
+
240
+ 42.
241
+ Defendants, at the direction of Epstein or in furtherance of his demands, and with
242
+ help from assistants, associates and underlings, and even other victims, recruited or procured
243
+ dozens if not hundreds of young females, including minors, for the purpose of Epstein's sexual
244
+ gratification.
245
+ 43.
246
+ Epstein, and employees of certain Corporate Defendants, including at least
247
+ Defendant HBRK,
248
+ specifically targeted underprivileged, emotionally vulnerable and/or
249
+ economically disadvantaged young females to sexually molest and abuse.
250
+ 44.
251
+ Additionally, Epstein and Corporate Defendants, through employees, informed
252
+ young females, including Plaintiff that Epstein was wealthy, well-connected, and had the power
253
+ and ability to impact the life of any young female recruited or obtained to provide a massage.
254
+ 45.
255
+ Each of the Corporate Defendants committed acts of negligence that allowed for
256
+ Epstein to commit acts in violation of New York Penal Law §130.
257
+ 46.
258
+ Each of the Defendants committed acts against Plaintiff in violation of 18 U.S.C.
259
+ §1591 - $1595.
260
+ JANE DOE 17
261
+ 47.
262
+ Consistent with Epstein's foregoing plan, scheme/enterprise, the Plaintiff was
263
+ recruited to provide Epstein with massages for monetary compensation. These massages
264
+ provided to Epstein by Plaintiff progressed to instances of inappropriate sexual contact with the
265
+ Plaintiff by Epstein in touching, inappropriate vaginal penetration, and outright rape. Plaintiff
266
+ was sexually assaulted, violated, and otherwise degraded, injured, victimized, and subjected to
267
+ outrageous, reckless abuse and insult.
268
+ 48.
269
+ In this regard, the Defendants willingly participated, contributed, cooperated, and
270
+ assisted the inappropriate and illegal scheme by facilitating such scheme by and through the
271
+
272
+
273
+
274
+ employees of the Corporate Defendants such that the Corporate Defendants were acting jointly
275
+ and in concert with the illegal scheme with the goal designed to produce corrupt sexual
276
+ gratification for Epstein and degradation for the targets and victims of the corrupt scheme set in
277
+ motion with the active involvement of the Corporate Defendants and their employees.
278
+ 49.
279
+ Epstein's abuse of the Plaintiff was not incidental or fleeting but rather was born
280
+ out of a pathological desire to achieve, corrupt and deviate sexual gratification through the
281
+ subjugation and abuse of Epstein's targeted victims. The actions on behalf of the Corporate
282
+ Defendants by and through its employees enhanced, facilitated, and promoted the deviate sexual
283
+ acts of Epstein and contributed a corrupting influence which ensnared unsuspecting women and
284
+ girls in its reach.
285
+ 50.
286
+ Epstein, by acting singularly and in concert with the Corporate Defendants,
287
+ devised a sophisticated plan and a modus operandi which subtly and pervasively over time
288
+ connived to influence the victims and subjects of the corrupt and deviant sexual scheme to
289
+ influence the will to resist the temptations both actual and promised on behalf of the scheme and
290
+ thereby manipulate the victims into acceptance of the scheme as being one that was acceptable
291
+ and appropriate by virtue of communications and representations made on behalf of Epstein by
292
+ the Corporate Defendants and in fact Epstein himself. The scheme utilized a gradual wearing
293
+ down of the victim's will to resist and did so by virtue of offering positive and negative rewards
294
+ for compliance with the scheme's overall deviant methodology and goals.
295
+ 51.
296
+ Once Epstein and the Corporate Defendants" victims were entrapped and the
297
+ scheme's methodologies enabled, Epstein and the corporate defendants through its employees
298
+ utilized techniques to further inhibit, indoctrinate, and threaten Epstein's victims such that
299
+ compliance with the deviant scheme's goals could be further obtained.
300
+
301
+
302
+
303
+ 52.
304
+ The deviant scheme was perpetuated over years by the actions of Epstein and the
305
+ Corporate Defendants such that victims were caught up in the scheme, pressure, threats, and
306
+ indoctrination techniques utilized to bring the victims to heel.
307
+ 53.
308
+ For victims young, vulnerable, and struggling financially, the scheme's
309
+ methodology was particularly effective.
310
+ 54.
311
+ As part and parcel of the scheme's goals, Epstein's colleagues and acquaintances
312
+ were involved in the scheme and benefited from the scheme by virtue of receiving sexual favors
313
+ and inappropriate, illegal, and otherwise commercial sexual services provided by Epstein's
314
+ victims such that the corrupt intent of this scheme involved males other than Epstein himself.
315
+ As a direct and proximate result of the methodology of the deviant scheme and the goals of
316
+ sexual exploitation of the women recruited and victimized, Plaintiff was subject to unwanted
317
+ touching of her breasts and genitals, other sensitive areas of her body, required to perform acts
318
+ of a sexual nature against her will and subjected to genital penetration and otherwise sexually
319
+ degraded, abused, insulted, coerced, and injured, experience resulting in confusion, emotional
320
+ distress, mental pain and suffering, shame, humiliation, loss of the enjoyment of life,
321
+ inconvenience, and other injuries to body, mind and soul.
322
+ 55.
323
+ Epstein and the Corporate Defendants by and through their employees and agents
324
+ substantially contributed to proximately cause injury to the Plaintiff as aforementioned.
325
+ 56.
326
+ Over a course of years, Epstein and the Corporate Defendants, by and through its
327
+ employees and agents, facilitated the multiple rapes conducted on the Plaintiff in addition to
328
+ other deviant sexual acts against her will. Furthermore, the plaintiff's virginity was forcefully
329
+ taken from her against her will.
330
+
331
+
332
+
333

334
+ This fraudulent scheme of Epstein's constituted acts of coercion from beginning
335
+ to end, from 2001 through mid-2006, inasmuch as the scheme was designed to and in fact,
336
+ caused Plaintiff to believe that her failure to perform any sex act required by Epstein would
337

+ and must be read in conjunction with the Requests and followed when responding to the
25
+ Requests.
26
+ GENERAL OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES
27
+ The following general objections and responses (the "General Objections") are
28
+ incorporated into each specific objection and response (the "Specific Objections") as if fully set
29
+ forth therein:
30
+ Plaintiff objects to the Requests to the extent they are duplicative, cumulative, or
31
+ seek information that has been or will be provided through other means of discovery.
32
+
33
+
34
+ Case 1:19-cv-08673-KPF-DCF Document 79-3 Filed 06/22/20 Page 3 of 29
35
+ 2.
36
+ Plaintiff objects to the Requests to the extent they are vague, ambiguous, overly
37
+ broad, unduly burdensome, seck information not relevant to the claims or defenses of any party,
38
+ or are not proportional to the needs of the case.
39
+ Plaintiff objects to the Requests to the extent they impose any obligations or
40
+ requirements beyond the scope of the Rules or any case law interpreting them.
41
+ Plaintiff's Responses are not intended to be and shall not be construed as an
42
+ agreement or concurrence that all information provided is admissible.
43
+ 5.
44
+ Plaintiff objects to each Request to the extent that it calls for documents that: (a)
45
+ are already in Defendants' possession, custody, or control; (b) are publicly available; or (c) are
46
+ otherwise independently available to Defendants or their counsel.
47
+ Plaintiff objects to the Requests to the extent they purport to call for documents or
48
+ information that: (a) are subject to the attorney-client privilege; (b) constitute attorney work
49
+ product; (c) are protected from disclosure based on common interest or a similar privilege; or (d)
50
+ are otherwise protected from disclosure under applicable privilege, law, or rule. Plaintiff will not
51
+ produce such information in response to the Requests, and any inadvertent production thereof shall
52
+ not be deemed a waiver of any privilege with respect to such information.
53
+ Plaintiff objects to the Requests to the extent they seek information protected by
54
+ federal or state law. Except to the extent permitted by an applicable exception or court order,
55
+ Plaintiff will not disclose any information in violation of federal or state law.
56
+ 8.
57
+ Plaintiff objects to the Requests to the extent they require unreasonable measures
58
+ to locate and produce responsive documents. Plaintiff will construe the Requests to require a
59
+ reasonable and diligent search of her reasonably-accessible files where she would reasonably
60
+ expect to find information, documents, or things related to the Requests, and specifically states
61
+
62
+
63
+ Case 1:19-CV-08673-KPF-DCF Document 79-3 Filed 06/22/20 Page 4 of 29
64
+ that she will limit her search for electronically stored information by use of identified search terms
65
+ to be agreed upon by the Parties.
66
+ 9.
67
+ Plaintiff objects to the Requests, and in particular, Definitions No. 4 and
68
+ Instructions Nos. 2 and 4, to the extent that they seek information or documents that are not within
69
+ Plaintiff's possession, custody, or control. Subject to this General Objection, in responding to the
70
+ Requests, Plaintiff will provide only responsive, non-privileged documents within Plaintiff's own
71
+ possession, custody, or control.
72
+ 10.
73
+ Plaintiff objects to Instruction No. 3 insofar as it seeks to impose obligations greater
74
+ than those imposed by the Rules or any other applicable law or rule.
75
+ 11.
76
+ Plaintiff objects to Instruction No. 4 insofar as it imposes obligations greater than
77
+ those imposed by the Rules and it seeks information or documents that are not within Plaintiff's
78
+ possession, custody, or control.
79
+ 12.
80
+ Plaintiff objects to Instruction No. 11 to the extent that it seeks information or
81
+ documents beyond the time period relevant to the allegations listed in the Complaint (ECF 1).
82
+ 13.
83
+ Plaintiff objects to each Request to the extent that it asks Plaintiff to identify "all"
84
+ documents, communications, information etc., on the ground that each such Request is overly
85
+ broad and that compliance with each such Request would be unduly burdensome and not
86
+ proportional to the needs of this case.
87
+ 14.
88
+ Plaintiff objects to each Request to the extent that it seeks information or documents
89
+ beyond the time period relevant to Plaintiff's claims.
90
+ 15.
91
+ Plaintiff objects to the Requests to the extent they contain express or implied
92
+ assumptions of fact or law with respect to matters at issue in this case. Plaintiff's Responses to
93
+ the Requests are not intended to be and shall not be construed as an agreement or concurrence with
94
+
95
+
96
+ Case 1:19-CV-08673-KPF-DCF Document 79-3 Filed 06/22/20 Page 5 of 29
97
+ Defendants' characterization of any facts, circumstances, or legal obligations. Plaintiff reserves
98
+ the right to contest any such characterization as inaccurate.
99
+ 16.
100
+ Plaintiff expressly reserves all rights and privileges under the Rules and any other
101
+ applicable law or rule. The failure to assert such rights and privileges or the inadvertent disclosure
102
+ by Plaintiff of information or documents protected by such rights or privileges shall not constitute
103
+ a waiver thereof, either with respect to these Responses or with respect to any future discovery
104
+ objections or responses.
105
+ 17.
106
+ The fact that Plaintiff has responded to a particular Request shall not be interpreted
107
+ as implying that Plaintiff acknowledges the propriety of that Request.
108
+ 18.
109
+ Plaintiff's Responses to the Requests are made to the best of Plaintiff's present
110
+ knowledge, information, and belief. These Responses are at all times subject to such additional or
111
+ different information that discovery or further investigation may disclose and, while based on the
112
+ present state of Plaintiff's knowledge and investigation, are subject to such additional knowledge
113
+ of facts as may result from Plaintiff's further discovery or investigation.
114
+ 19.
115
+ Plaintiff reserves the right to make any use of, or to introduce at any hearing and at
116
+ trial, information responsive to the Requests but discovered subsequent to the date of these
117
+ Responses, including, but not limited to, any such information obtained in discovery herein.
118
+ 20.
119
+ Plaintiff reserves all objections or other questions as to the competency, relevance,
120
+ materiality, privilege, or admissibility of Plaintiff's Responses herein and any documents produced
121
+ subject thereto, as evidence in any subsequent proceeding in, or trial of, this or any other action,
122
+ or for any other purpose whatsoever.
123
+ 21.
124
+ Plaintiff's Responses to the Requests will be subject to the protections of any
125
+ Protective Order entered by the Court governing the handling of confidential material in this case.

130
+ Plaintiff will produce responsive documents pursuant to its General and Specific
131
+ Objections on a rolling basis.
132
+ 23.
133
+ Plaintiff is available to meet and confer with Defendants in an effort to resolve any
134
+ disputes that may arise concerning these Responses.

140
+ personnel; (iii) government agents, including, without limitation, prosecutors and
141

142
+ attorneys, on the one hand, and other persons who have filed lawsuits or made claims
143
+ against Decedent or his estate, or such other persons' attorneys, on the other hand.
144
+ RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 1
145
+ Plaintiff objects to Request No. 1 on the ground that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome,
146
+ and seeks information not relevant to either party's claims or defenses in this litigation, and will
147
+ withhold responsive documents and communications, if any, based on this objection. Plaintiff
148
+ further objects to Request No. 1 to the extent it calls for the production of documents and
149
+ communications that are subject to the attorney-client privilege, constitute attorney work product,
150
+ or are otherwise protected from disclosure under applicable privilege, law, or rule, and will
151
+ withhold responsive documents and communications, if any, based on this objection.
152
+ Subject to the General and Specific Objections, Plaintiff will produce non-privileged
153
+ documents and communications concerning the claims and defenses in this litigation and

+ REQUEST NO. 3
166
+ To the extent not otherwise produced in response to the foregoing, all non-privileged
167
+ documents and communications concerning this litigation.
168
+ RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 3
169
+ Plaintiff objects to Request No. 3 on the ground that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome,
170
+ and seeks information not relevant to either party's claims or defenses to the extent that
171
+ "concerning this litigation" has a meaning other than "concerning the claims and defenses in this
172
+ litigation" and will withhold responsive documents and communications, if any, based on this
173
+ objection.
174
+ Subject to the General and Specific Objections, Plaintiff will produce non-privileged
175

434
+ Plaintiff objects to the Interrogatories to the extent they impose any obligations or
435
+ requirements beyond the scope of the Rules or any case law interpreting them.
436
+ 4.
437
+ Plaintiff's Responses are not intended to be and shall not be construed as an
438
+ agreement or concurrence that all information provided is admissible.
439
+ Plaintiff objects to the Interrogatories to the extent that they call for documents that:
440
+ (a) are already in Defendants' possession, custody, or control; (b) are publicly available; or (c) are
441
+ otherwise independently available to Defendants or their counsel.
442

3
+ SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
4
+ CASE NO.: 08-CV-80232-MARRA-
5
+ JANE DOE NO. 3,
6
+ V.
7
+ JEFFREY EPSTEIN,
8
+ Plaintiff,
9
+ Defendant.
10
+ Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, by and through his undersigned counsel, moves
11
+ this Court for the entry of an order requiring that the Plaintiff in the above-styled action
12
+ use the proper case-style in all filings in this action, as opposed to improperly including
13
+ all other Jane Does, (Jane Doe No. 2, Jane Doe No. 3, Jane Doe No. 4, Jane Doe No.
14
+ 5, Jane Doe No. 6, and Jane Doe No. 7), who are represented by the same counsel.
15
+ Rule 10(a), Fed.R.Civ.P. (2009), Loc. Gen. Rule 7.1 (S.D. Fla. 2009). In support of his
16
+ motion, Defendant states:
17
+ 1. Rule 10(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, pertaining to "Caption; Names
18
+ of Parties," provides that -
19
+ Every pleading must have a caption with the court's name, a title, a file
20
+ number, and a Rule 7(a) designation. The title of the complaint must name
21
+ all the parties; the title of other pleadings, after naming the first party on
22
+ each side, may refer generally to other parties.
23
+ 2. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is the case style which Plaintiff recently used in
24
+ filing papers with this Court. This action has not been consolidated with any of the other
25
+
26
+
27
+ Case 9:08-cv-80232-KAM Document 86 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/11/2009 Page 2 of 5
28
+ Jane Doe No. 3 v. Epstein
29
+ Page 2
30
+ Jane Doe actions filed by Plaintiff's counsel. Rule 10(a) makes clear that only the
31
+ parties to this action are to be included in the caption.
32
+ 3. By including case styles from five additional cases makes it appear as though the
33
+ cases have been consolidated. Further, the case style used by Plaintiff is not only
34
+ misleading, but confusing in that there is no clear delineation as to in which action the
35
+ matter is properly filed. Each case has different facts and should proceed on those
36
+ facts. Each Plaintiff is claiming personal injury type damages which must be decided
37
+ separately.
38
+ 4. Accordingly, Defendant is entitled to an order requiring that Plaintiff uses the
39
+ proper caption and case style in this action and not list every case in which her counsel
40
+ represents other Jane Does.
41
+ WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Court grant Defendant's
42
+ motion, and enter the requested order.
43
+ Rule 7.1 Certification
44
+ Pursuant to letter communication, Plaintiff's counsel did not agree with the relief
45
+ request in Defendant's motion.

149
+ Plaintiffs, JANE DOES 2-7, by and through undersigned counsel, file this Memorandum in
150
+ Opposition to Stay and or Continue Action, as follows:
151
+ I.
152
+ Introduction
153
+ In moving for stay, Defendant has the burden of demonstrating that, due to a parallel criminal
154
+ proceeding, if he exercises his right against self incrimination he will certainly lose on summary
155
+ judgment unless a stay is granted. Defendant has failed to satisfy this burden. There is no pending
156
+ motion for summary judgment.
157
+ • There is also no criminal proceeding at this time arising from
158
+ Epstein's acts against the Plaintiffs or other victims. Indeed, whether such a criminal proceeding is
159
+ ever commenced is entirely within the Defendant's control, by complying with the terms of his

22
+ Parties, Jurisdiction and Venue

+ Jane Doe No. 8 ("Jane Doe") is a citizen and resident of the State of Florida, and is
24
+ sui juris.
25
+ 2.
26
+ This Complaint is brought under a fictitious name to protect the identity of the

+ Plaintiff because this Complaint makes sensitive allegations of sexual assault and abuse upon a
28
+ minor.
29
+ Defendant Jeffrey Epstein is a citizen and resident of the State of New York, and

44
+ 6.
45
+ Additionally, this Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1331 because
46
+ Plaintiff alleges a claim under the laws of the United States. This Court has supplemental
47
+ jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1367(a) over all other claims set forth herein which form part of
48
+ the same case or controversy.
49
+ This Court has venue of this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§1391(a) and 1391(b) as a
50
+ substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred in this District.
51
+ Factual Allegations
52
+ 8.
53
+ At all relevant times, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein") was an adult male in his
54
+ early 50's. Epstein is a financier and money manager with a secret clientele limited exclusively to
55
+ billionaires. He is himself a man of tremendous wealth, power and influence. He maintains his
56
+ principal home in New York and also owns residences in New Mexico, St.
57
+ and Palm Beach,
58
+ FL. The allegations herein concern Epstein's conduct while at his lavish estate in Palm Beach.
59
+ 9.
60
+ Upon information and belief, Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for
61
+ underage minor girls. He engaged in a plan and scheme in which he gained access to primarily
62
+ economically disadvantaged minor girls in his home, sexually assaulted these girls, and then gave
63
+ them money. In or about 2001, Jane Doe, then approximately 16 years old, fell into Epstein's trap
64
+ and became one of his victims.
65
+ 10.
66
+ Upon information and belief, Jeffrey Epstein carried out his scheme and assaulted
67
+ girls in Florida, New York and on his private island, known as Little St. James, in St.
68
+ 11. Epstein's scheme involved the use of young girls to recruit underage girls. These
69
+ underage girls were recruited ostensibly to give a wealthy man a massage for monetary compensation

76
+ Case 9:09-cv-80802-KAM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/28/2009 Page 3 of 7
77
+ in his Palm Beach mansion. Epstein, upon information and belief, generally sought out economically
78
+ disadvantaged underage girls from Palm Beach County who would be enticed by the money being
79
+ offered - generally $200 to $300 per "massage" session - and who were perceived as less likely to
80
+ complain to authorities or have credibility if allegations of improper conduct were made.
81
+ 12.
82
+ Epstein's plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method. The underage
83
+ victim would be brought or directed to Epstein's mansion, where she would be led up a flight of
84
+ stairs to a room that contained a massage table in addition to other furnishings. The girl would then
85
+ find herself alone in the room with Epstein, who would be wearing only a towel. He would then
86
+ remove his towel and lie naked on the massage table, and direct the girl to remove her clothes.
87
+ Epstein would then perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts.
88
+ 13. Consistent with the foregoing plan and scheme, Jane Doe was recruited by another
89
+ girl, who told her that she could make some money, but did not tell her what was involved. At all
90
+ relevant times, the girl who recruited Jane Doe was acting on behalf of and as agent for Epstein.
91
+ Jane was contacted by this girl by telephone. Jane was then picked up and brought to Epstein's
92
+ mansion in Palm Beach. Once there, she was led up the flight of stairs to the room with the massage
93
+ table. Epstein came into the room and directed Jane to remove her clothes and give him a massage.
94
+ Jane was frightened and felt trapped. As directed by Epstein, Jane removed her clothes. Epstein
95
+ then during the massage touched Jane on her breasts and vagina, and he grabbed her hand and placed
96
+ it on his penis. Epstein masturbated himself during the massage. Epstein then left money for Jane.
97
+ 14.
98
+ As a result of this encounter with Epstein, Jane experienced confusion, shame,
99
+ humiliation and embarrassment, and has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries.

10
+ DECLARATION OF JEFFREY M. HERMAN REGARDING SERVICE
11
+ OF PROCESS AND THIS COURT'S ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
12
+ Jeffrey M. Herman, deposes and states as follows:
13
+ I am counsel for Plaintiff in this action. After the parties' briefed the issue of service
14
+ of process on Defendant Jeffrey Epstein, this Court found valid service under New York law and
15
+ entered an Order to Show Cause Why Default Should Not be Entered Against Defendant Jeffrey
16
+ Epstein, dated July 16, 2008.
17
+ I submit this Declaration to correct what appears to be a factual error in the Court's
18
+ Order to Show Cause. I do so even though this error is in Plaintiff's favor.
19
+ 3.
20
+ In the Order to Show Cause, this Court finds that "It]he process server also mailed a
21
+ copy of the summons and complaint to Defendant on May 5, 2008, via first class mail. (DE 6)." It is
22
+ my understanding that the Affidavit of Service (DE 6) crosses out language regarding mail to the
23
+ Defendant, and that the process server in this case did not mail a copy of the Summons and
24
+ Complaint to the Defendant's New York address. In none of the papers Plaintiff filed in this matter
25
+ is it asserted that the Summons and Complaint was mailed, nor did Plaintiff claim that service was
26
+ valid under New York law.

+ that but I'd just like to do that.
100
+ THE COURT: Right. And if you want to
101
+ contact the other individuals saying, you know,
102
+ I'm the one that's questioning whether or not
103
+ these need to be before one judge. You may have
104
+ a different perspective than your colleagues who
105
+ are prosecuting some of the cases.
106
+ I understand the damages. I'm not
107
+ saying consolidate. I'm saying transfer. It's
108
+ not a consolidation issue. Everybody gets that
109
+ confused for some reason. The words are very
110
+ different out of my mouth, your mouth and how
111
+ they're written.
112
+ So let me go ahead and take a gander at
113
+ this. I did read it last night. I'm not sure
114
+ that we need to get -- we need names?
115
+ MR. CRITTON: Right. Well, here's what some
116
+ of the issues are is that, as an example -- if I
117
+ could approach the bench.
118
+ THE COURT: Sure.
119
+ MR. CRITTON: This is some of the
120
+ information that we've obtained through discovery
121
+ from some of the -- from at least in this
122
+ instance, it would be this particular Jane Doe.
123
+ THE COURT: You know who Jane Doe is I take

+

153
+ it?
154
+ MR. CRITTON: Right.
155
+ THE COURT: You know who the Jane Doe is?
156
+ MR. CRITTON: Yes, correct. And so this
157
+ particular lady has kept in part a diary and
158
+ she -- which appears to have started some time --
159
+ this is not in any way significant -- but some
160
+ time after she learned that she could file a
161
+ lawsuit. I think she's also been to Oakwood
162
+ Center some time after she learned she could file
163
+ a lawsuit and seek damages from Mr. Epstein.
164
+ There's no history of this lady
165
+ beforehand other than in some of the Oakwood
166
+ records where she was Baker Acted, she started
167
+ drinking beer at 16, she started Xanax at 16,
168
+ started marijuana at 15, that she's sexually
169
+ active.
170
+ So how she has interacted -- she has a
171
+ claim for emotional damages, mental pain and
172
+ anguish, psychiatric-type damages. How she's
173
+ interacted with friends, with family, the events
174
+ in her life, school, work, her interpersonal
175
+ relationships both with men and let's -- we'll
176
+ use an example men here, but other individuals.
177
+ She's saying that this event with Mr. Epstein,

+ 21
204
+ 22
205
+ 23
206
+ 24
207
+ 25
208
+ this sexual assault and whatever occurred during
209
+ these events is that -- has caused her damage.
210
+ And therefore damages in the case such
211
+ as the emotional, mental, psychiatric-type
212
+ damages are completely subjective, I mean
213
+ separate and apart from any medical bills that
214
+ may be -- which are clearly intangible. So these
215
+ are intangible damages. And the jury is
216
+ instructed, you know, you advise the greater
217
+ weight of the evidence, what's fair and
218
+ reasonable under the circumstances.
219
+ So what we would have is basically this
220
+ young lady's testimony as to what she claims her
221
+ damages are and what the circumstances are with
222
+ her situation with Mr. Epstein. She claims on
223
+ page 13, you know, I love this guy, I'm dating
224
+ this guy Chris. On page 15 --
225
+ THE COURT: Is this part of a diary for
226
+ treatment?
227
+ MR. CRITTON: I have no idea what it is. It
228
+ was just produced in response to discovery. And
229
+ she apparently started in, I think this is
230
+ December of '08. You know I took Jay Lyntenis'
231
+ girl to the zoo, had an amazing day, I love her,
232
+ i.e., the girl.
233
+ We have so much fun. I want a

264
+ this person is. We are all so open together, I
265
+ love him and Jay and
266
+ , what do I do with
267
+ Chris, who is another guy in her life.
268
+ All right. This is circumstances where
269
+ this young lady is saying, 1o0k, Jeffrey Epstein
270
+ has ruined my life from a damage standpoint,
271
+ okay. Let me depose other individuals with whom
272
+ you've had a relationship. And what if it turns
273
+ out - as with some of these girls did -- is they
274
+ had relationships or had escapades or
275
+ circumstances with individuals, older men similar
276
+ to Mr. Epstein well before Mr. Epstein.
277
+ And this girl, I don't know one way or
278
+ the other, but let's assume she had a situation
279
+ where she was assaulted or molested or raped, '
280
+ that all is going to affect her emotional and her
281
+ mental pain and anguish and it will all factor
282
+ into evaluating damages.
283
+ You know, it's not something that I'm
284
+ going to spread around. I'm happy to keep it,
285
+ you know, within the confines of the discovery of
286
+ this case. But if she says every other
287
+ relationship in my life has been perfect but Jeff
288
+ Epstein has done this to me and it has affected

323
+ Mr. Epstein?
324
+ MR:
325
+ : At what age?
326
+ THE COURT: Well, what year?
327
+ MR. CRITTON: June of '03.
328
+ MR.
329
+ •: June of '03, Judge.
330
+ 'MR. CRITTON: She claims from June of '03
331
+ through November of '04.
332
+ MR.
333
+ : She was I believe 16 at the
334
+ beginning and ended at 17. She was a minor
335
+ during all this time.
336
+ THE COURT: June of '03 to now is six years.
337
+ Let me hear from Mr.
338
+ MR.
339
+ : Judge, in the criminal case
340
+ that was filed against Mr. Epstein, he would not
341
+ have had a right to do this type of discovery and
342
+ I -- if I could hand up --

377
+ THE COURT: This is damages. There's no --
378
+ they weren't seeking damages at the time.
379
+ MR.
380
+ •: Right. And we have not alleged
381
+ in the complaint or in the answers to
382
+ interrogatories that her ability to have a
383
+ relationship with a man has been affected by
384
+ Mr. Epstein's conduct.
385
+ We have alleged that she has been
386
+ hospitalized for depression, anxiety but we have
387
+ not alleged any damages concerning -- the only
388
+ reason this would be relevant is if we were
389
+ making a claim at her ability to have either
390
+ sexual relations or to have emotional relations
391
+ with men was effected by her experience with
392
+ Mr. Epstein.
393
+ So this damages' claim is just a smoke
394
+ screen to attempt to get evidence to show the
395
+ jury that this woman has had other consensual
396
+ relationships with young men that are
397
+ approximately her age what I would characterize
398
+ as a slut defense.
399
+ She had it coming to her
400
+ because she engaged in other voluntarily
401
+ consensual --
402
+ THE COURT: Mr. Critton wouldn't try the
403
+ slut defense in my courtroom, I'm sure.

445

446

451
+ MR.
452
+ : Well, even if it was related to
453

454
+ other men's rejection of her?
455
+ THE COURT: Yeah. Well, how do you not know
456
+ that? I mean you can't do it until you do
457
+ discovery. Has anybody attempted to review the
458
+ records from Oakwood to find out what's going on?
459

491
+ THE COURT: She didn't receive treatment?
492
+ MR. CRITTON: She received treatment for
493
+ that day and she's been back a couple of times.
494
+ She's on medication. Again, I don't know what or
495
+ the extent but she's got -- her medical bills are
496
+ de minimis.
497
+ Again as an example, Judge, did the
498
+ Court have an opportunity to 1ook at the case
499
+ that I also attached to the motion? Because
500
+ there's a case that's almost on all fours with .
501
+ this which I attached to our motion which is
502
+ called Balles versus Russo.
503
+ THE COURT: Right.
504
+ MR. CRITTON: It was a case where the
505
+ plaintiff was sued -- the plaintiff sued the
506
+ former owners of a house of prostitution. So
507
+ that part is different, but within it there were
508
+ a number of claims including a sexual assault
509
+ claim and they sought emotional pain, humiliation
510
+ and emotional distress.
511
+ Within the complaint that was filed in
512
+ this particular case, she is seeking severe
513
+ emotional distress, mental anguish, humiliation,
514
+ embarrassment, past and future, compensatory

547
+ THE COURT: How old is she now?
548
+ MR.
549
+ : She's 21 now.
550
+ MR. CRITTON: She's 21 now. What the Court
551
+ said is, you know, if you'd only brought this
552
+ claim under 796 evidence of past issues, it's not
553
+ an issue. You can't use this defense for
554
+ anything, but because you brought these other
555
+ claims which include, you know, sexual assault
556
+ and you're seeking damages for other causes of
557
+ action since the information sought by discovery
558
+ may be relevant or may lead to the discovery of
559
+ admissible evidence in one or more of the other
560
+ causes of action or determination of damages, we
561
+ cannot conclude the trial court parted from
562
+ essential requirements of law in granting --
563
+ THE COURT: So in other words, she's not
564
+ only seeking -- she's seeking current emotional
565
+ damage as a result of this relationship and
566
+ you're trying to find out if she had prior
567
+ relationships that perhaps could be intertwined
568
+ with it so that it's not just Mr. Epstein's --
569
+ MR. CRITTON: Right. A perfect example is

+ and raped, pretty significant issues, well in
601
+ advance of her even meeting with Mr. Epstein.
602
+ And they seem to play a large role in her

604
+ We're going to come to the Court in
605
+ this case as we have others and ask for a
606
+ psychological evaluation of this lady, and if she
607
+ was raped or if she was molested or just she had
608
+ a bad experience or some -- whether it was a
609
+ young or old man assaulted her in some fashion,
610

611
+ THE COURT: What I'm going to allow for
612

613
+ it in at the time trial are two years before her
614
+ first encounter with Mr. Epstein and anything
615

616

617

618

619
+ there's also -- I did state an objection to the
620
+ identity of people that are unrepresented in this
621

+ can you take me?" And my stepfather stayed home that day. So he's like, "No, you can't
3
+ take.her. She needs.to.walk to work.". And I was like, "Well, this is only like my second
4
+ day. And you know, mom said she was going to take me to work by car. So I had been,
5
+ like, getting ready and not, you know, I didn't leave, you know, so many hours prior to
6
+ be at work 'cause I didn't have to walk there. And he's like, "No. That's your problem.
7
+ You're going to end up walking there. So if you're late that's your fault. That's not our
8
+ problem at all." So I got upset, and I was like, whatever. So I ended up walking to work.
9
+ And of course I was late, 'cause I had to walk two miles. And um, I got fired because it
10
+ was my like second, third day of work. And uh, they just said—you know, I explained to
11
+ them exactly what had happened, that I didn't have transportation, and what I just told
12
+ you. And um, basically, I lost my job. So he got upset that I had no responsibilities and
13
+ ended up saying that, you know, "You need to be kicked out." Which I thought was very
14
+ absurd and stupid, but those are his rules. He's very strict. Like, he has a certain
15
+ standard.
16
+ 07:00
17
+ Okay. Now, you also liked to be out a lot. Was he upset about you being out a lot?
18
+ Um, yes. He got upset about that also. But when I went out, it wasn't like I went out and
19
+ partied. I just wanted to be with my friends. 'Cause like I said also, when I was with my
20
+ friends, I put them so much as like my family, that I grew so close to them, that when
21
+ I'm with my friends, like my close friends, I feel just comfortable and stressful—-like,
22
+ stress-relieved, I guess. Like all my stress is gone. And comfortable.
23
+ 07:36
24
+ Dr: Kliman: Now again. Following up things that you listed in various questionnaires. You
25
+ mentioned one time you caught your mother and stepfather having sex. And that seemed
26
+ to be your first knowledge, or first understanding of sex. Could you explain to me what
27
+ that reference is?
28
+ 08:08
29
+ Yeah, well I, I've you know, I mean, don't get me wrong. I've heard of, you know, about
30
+ sex when I was younger from people. But I was never, you know, knowledged of what is
31
+ was exactly. And I caught——do you want me to give you the exact scenario of what
32
+ happened?
33
+ Well, sure.
34
+ Um, my stepfather grounded me and put me in my room at one of their friend's houses,
35
+ like, "Stay here. Don't go anywhere." And I was like, "Okay." So I had to use the
36
+ restroom, you know, at some point when I was sitting in the room. So I want
37
+ This was at a friend's house?
38
+ 08:38
39

46
+ were doing.
47
+ I see.
48
+ Yeah. They were house-sitting. And you know, I had to use the restroom. So I wanted to
49
+ ask him before, "Can I use the restroom?" 'cause he'd said, "Don't go anywhere." So I
50
+ walked in the pool room, where they play pool. And she was on the table with her legs
51
+ open, with no clothes on. And he was on his knees. And it just like really grossed me
52
+ out. Extremely, ugh, just grossed me out. And um, you know, of course, they were
53
+ embarrassed. But she, you know, bought me like a little video for a kids. Like, a cartoon
54
+ video that explained sex. And what guys and girls have and, stuff like that.
55
+ 09:31
56
+ So was this oral sex they were having?
57
+ I didn't see them in the act. But you know, she was on the table butt naked. And he was
58
+ on his knees. So basically it was going to become oral sex I guess.
59
+ So you didn't see very much of what he was doing?
60
+ приство
61
+ No.
62
+ But you figured it out at some point.
63
+
64
+ Yeah.
65
+ Did you immediately understand?
66
+ PS, Pretty much. They tried to lie to me at first. And say that you know, he was checking her
67
+ down there 'cause she had a bump or something. Like, uh, cancer or whatever. And I
68
+ was just like, I'm not stupid. You know, I'm not that unaware of sex. Like, I know about
69
+ it. I know what happens.
70
+ 10:16
71
+ So they made some effort then to educate you through a film?

+ Yes.
73
+ Now, were you very upset by seeing this event?
74
+ I was. Yes.
75
+ Di. Kliman:
76
+ Tell me about your upset.
77
+ (beep I just felt like, very like, I don't know what it was, but I was very jealous of like, my
78
+ mom. Not like jealous of her, but like, I didn't like other guys talking to her or touching
79
+ her. Like, it really made me like, angry inside. Like very angry. Like when they would
80
+ hold hands and stuff, it made me like, get really like—

85
+ • - Even if your stepfather held her hand?
86
+ Yes.
87
+ 10:53
88
+ Did you become more jealous after that? Or were you already jealous?
89
+ A I was jealous before that of like, the holding hands. And I didn't want them to benaked.
90
+ - together: 1 didn't want them to see each other naked. I have no idea why I was like that.
91
+ But I was. I didn't like guys trying to flirt with her: I was very overprotective of her, I
92
+ guess. And when I saw that, it just like, like, really grossed me out.
93
+ Dr. Kliman: Was he naked at that time?
94
+ Dr. Kliman: Had you seen him naked at times?
95
+ Mistler No.
96
+ So you've never walked in on him and found him in the shower,
97
+ Befall No.
98
+ Or anything like that. You mentioned that your mother suffers from depression and
99
+ stress.
100
+ get Yes. to thad a rely bad chilhood. When she was growing up, um, do you want me to
101
+ Sure.
102
+ 11:48
103
+ Matay Baically her mother, my grandmed Dick And ok of with Did and ye at the fins.
104
+ And basically found this guy named Dick. And took off with Dick and left all the kids
105
+ with my mom's father. So there was four babies, like four kids, with my mom's dad. My
106
+ mom's dad was very lenient, and didn't really care about school, didn't give them any
107
+ discipline, and didn't care what they did. He had, you know, one of the type of parents
108
+ that, "Do whatever you want, I don't care." There was no guidelines. And then my mom
109
+ caught him with another guy. And her older sisters...she's not a twin, but she has a set of
110
+ twin sisters that are probably like five years older than her. And they used to like, stick
111
+ her in closets and spray Windex in her eyes, and hit her over the head with the phone,
112
+ and abuse her, basically. And they've gotten her raped at school. She also got molested
113
+ by her uncle. And now she's around forty-three to forty-four. I'm really bad with
114
+ remembering ages. And she has, including me, she has four kids. But I'm never there,
115
+ because you know, I have my own life. So right now she has three kids. And she also
116
+ has a one-year-old like I do. And she has a four-year-old and a nine-year-old. So she

121
+ just, she stresses out about little stuff and is very like, for instance, I was there yesterday.
122
+ And my little brother dropped a bowl of cereal all over the floor. And I was like, "'Mom,.
123
+ calm down." 'Cause she just
124
+ Gets agitated.
125
+ 13:28
126
+ Very.
127
+ Let me go back to these abuse experiences that your mother had, if I understand them.
128
+ First, she was abandoned by—
129
+ By her mom.
130
+ Dr. Kliman: By her mom. Do you think it was a total abandonment?
131
+ All From what my mom says, it was. And then my grandmother of course always defends
132
+ Okay. But then your mom caught your grandfather, that her father.
133
+ Ragply Hereal father.
134
+ With another guy.
135
+ (взятков, Yos.
136
+ Dr. Kliman: And how did she catch him?
137
+ NA She said she went down to the basement and another guy was with him.
138
+ Well, were they having sex?
139
+ Dr. Kliman: And what did she see?
140
+ 14:09
141
+ All, She said she say everything. Like him, I think he, I don't know who was on who, but a
142
+ guy and a guy. And she just freaked out, 'cause she never even knew about stuff like that,
143
+ you know.
144
+ How old was she?
145
+ She said she was young. I cannot give you a specific age 'cause I have no idea. Um, she
146
+ was probably anywhere from around eight to fifteen years of age, I have no idea.
147
+ Honestly, I don't know. But I know she was young.

152
+ Dr. Kliman: Okay. You mentioned also, I think you mentioned, that she was raped in school.
153
+ Yeah, her sisters—-something about her sisters paid this guy to try to rape her in a closet
154
+ at school. Um, I don't know how far it went. She didn't get into it with me. If it got far or
155
+ not. But I know that her sisters paid a guy to rape her in a closet at school. She's actually
156
+ been raped three times.
157
+ 15:10
158
+ During her childhood, or?
159
+ Twice during her childhood and once as like an adult, on a date.
160
+ How old do you think she was when closet effort at raping her occurred?
161
+ She was either in the beginning of high school or the end of middle school. I'm not a
162
+ hundred percent sure. She never gave me really facts. She said she was young.
163
+ And did the rape actually occur? That her sisters paid a guy to do?
164
+ Um, I don't know exactly if it did. She didn't get into that. I'm not sure.
165
+ But you do think she's been raped three times, according to what she's told you?
166
+ Yes. She got raped by her uncle. And then a rape, like a roofie. They slipped something
167
+ in her drink when she was an adult. And then the closet thing. But I don't know if that
168
+ necessarily went through. But I know her uncle and the other one. I know the whole
169
+ stories.
170
+ 16:17
171
+ Which uncle is that?
172
+ I've never met him in my entire life. Um,
173
+ I'm glad.
174
+ (lita, Um, yeah, It makes me sick But one, ques he lives in New York. Um, I think it's
175
+ my mom's dad's side of the family somehow.
176
+ So that would be your mom's dad's brother, probably?
177
+ воззводу
178
+ Probably, but I don't think it's that close. I don't know how
179
+ Okay.
180
+ Al I don't know if they just call him "uncle", but 1 now that he's a part of the family. He's
181
+ like a cousin. A second cousin or something, I don't know.
182
+ So he could be a cousin?

186

187
+ • Yeah, but he's definitely, he was definitely older than her.
188
+ And how old was she?
189
+ 17:05
190
+ Mila She was young. She was like, she said she was around like five to seven years old I
191
+ think. She was really young. And you know, he was like married I think, with kids. Or
192
+ he had like a family, and he uh, was like, was touching her.
193
+ How about her sisters? Did they get touched also?
194
+ Rafabag She's never told me that. No.
195
+ Dr. Kliman: Has she told you that he raped her? Or that he touched her? Or both?
196
+ Um, I don't think that he used his penis. But he used his fingers on her.
197
+ Dr. Kliman: And then she was raped once on a date?
198
+ 18:08
199
+ Yeah, I don't know the exact age or time. But I know she was older. And she went on a
200
+ date with this guy. And he basically slipped something in her drink. And she said she
201
+ was conscious of what was going on, but she couldn't like scream or move. And him and
202
+ his friend took her back to a place and raped her.
203
+ So two guys raped her?
204
+ Yes.
205
+ When did your mother tell you the first of anything about this at first. Let me put it
206
+ better because I didn't ask it well. What was the first thing you learned about your
207
+ mother's misfortunes of being sexually abused?
208
+ 18:49
209
+ предка
210
+ • Like how old was I?
211
+ Yeah. How old were you is a good way to put it.
212
+ Um. I was probably in my young teens. She told me I think.
213
+ Was it before Mr. Epstein or after Mr. Epstein?
214
+ Before.
215
+ And what did she first tell you?
