COMPLAINT [dated 2/23/20101
|
| 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.

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 |
+
statutory language.... We cannot add to the terms of [the] provision what Congress left
|
| 44 |
+
out.' Merritt, 120 F.3d at 1187." See also Dodd v. U.S., 125 S.Ct. 2478 (2005); 73
|
| 45 |
+
Am.Jur.2d Statutes §124.
|
| 46 |
+
Title 18 of the U.S.C. is entitled "Crimes and Criminal Procedure." §2255 is
|
| 47 |
+
contained in "Part I. Crimes, Chap, 110. Sexual Exploitation and Other Abuse of
|
| 48 |
+
Children." 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2002)', is entitled Civil remedy for personal injuries, and
|
| 49 |
+
provides:
|
| 50 |
+
(a) Any minor who is a victim of a violation of section 2241(c), 2242, 2243, 2251,
|
| 51 |
+
2251A, 2252, 2252A, 2260, 2421, 2422, or 2423 of this title and who suffers
|
| 52 |
+
' The above quoted version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 was the same beginning in 1999 until
|
| 53 |
+
amended in 2006, effective July 27, 2006.

personal injury as a result of such violation may sue in any appropriate United
|
| 59 |
+
States District Court and shall recover the actual damages such minor sustains
|
| 60 |
+
and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee. Any minor as
|
| 61 |
+
described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages
|
| 62 |
+
of no less than $50,000 in value.
|
| 63 |
+
(b) Any action commenced under this section shall be barred unless the complaint
|
| 64 |
+
is filed within six years after the right of action first accrues or in the case of a
|
| 65 |
+
person under a legal disability, not later than three years after the disability.
|
| 66 |
+
See endnote 1 hereto for statutory text as amended in 2006, effective July 27,
|
| 67 |
+
2006. Prior to the 2006 amendments, the version of the statute quoted above was in
|
| 68 |
+
effect beginning in 1999.!
|
| 69 |
+
All of Plaintiff's allegations of abuse occurred between January 2004 and May
|
| 70 |
+
2005 (par. 18), well prior to 18 U.S.C. §2255 being amended.
|
| 71 |
+
Motion to Dismiss
|
| 72 |
+
Plaintiff's reliance on the amended version of 18 U.S.C. §2255, such reliance is
|
| 73 |
+
improper. The version of Defendant's position that 18 U.S.C. §2255 in effect
|
| 74 |
+
prior to the 2006 amendments applies to this action, and therefore Count Six is
|
| 75 |
+
required to be dismissed as it relies on a predicate act that was not in effect at
|
| 76 |
+
the time of the alleged conduct."
|
| 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
|
| 81 |
+
specified predicate acts under 18 U.S.C. §2255. However, subsection (g) of §2252 was
|
| 82 |
+
2 Points (2) and (3) are addressed together as the legal arguments overlap.
|
| 83 |
+
" In other §2255 actions filed against Defendant, Defendant has previously asserted the position
|
| 84 |
+
that 18 U.S.C. §2255's creates a single cause of action on behalf of a plaintiff against a
|
| 85 |
+
defendant, as opposed to multiple causes of action on a per violation basis or as opposed to an
|
| 86 |
+
allowance of a multiplication of the statutory presumptive minimum damages or "actual
|
| 87 |
+
damages." EPSTEIN asserts his position regarding the single recovery of damages in order to
|
| 88 |
+
properly preserve all issues pertaining to the proper application of §2255 for appeal. EPSTEIN
|
| 89 |
+
will fully honor his obligations as set forth in the Non-Prosecution Agreement with the United
|
| 90 |
+
States Attorney's Office; principally, as related to the claims made in this case by Jane Doe 103,
|
| 91 |
+
the obligations as set forth in paragraph 8 of that Agreement. In particular, EPSTEIN will not
|
| 92 |
+
contest the allegation that he committed at least one predicate offense as alleged by Jane Doe
|
| 93 |
+
103.

+
not added to the statute until 2006. Thus, to the extent that Plaintiff is relying on the
|
| 99 |
+
amended version of 18 U.S.C. §2255, such reliance is improper and Count Six is required
|
| 100 |
+
to be dismissed as it relies on a statutory predicate act that did not exist at the time of the
|
| 101 |
+
alleged conduct.
|
| 102 |
+
The statute in effect during the time the alleged conduct occurred is 18 U.S.C.
|
| 103 |
+
§2255 (2005) - the version in effect prior to the 2006 amendment, eff. Jul. 27, 2006,
|
| 104 |
+
(quoted above), and having an effective date of 1999 through July 26, 2006. See
|
| 105 |
+
endnote 1 hereto. Plaintiff's Complaint alleges that Defendant's conduct occurred during
|
| 106 |
+
the time period from the age of 17, January 2004 until approximately May 2005.
|
| 107 |
+
Complaint, 1917, 18. Thus, the version in effect in 2004-2005 of 18 U.S.C. §2255
|
| 108 |
+
applies.
|
| 109 |
+
It is an axiom of law that "retroactivity is not favored in the law." Bowen, 488
|
| 110 |
+
U.S., at 208, 109 S.Ct., at 471 (1988). As eloquently stated in Landgraf v. USI Film
|
| 111 |
+
Products, 114 S.Ct. 1483, 1497, 511 U.S. 244, 265-66 (1994):
|
| 112 |
+
jurisprudence, and embodies a legal doctrine centuries older than our Republic
|
| 113 |

+
from passing another type of retroactive legislation, laws "impairing the Obligation of
|
| 122 |
+
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.
|
| 127 |
+
, 381 U.S. 437, 456-462, 85 S.Ct. 1707, 1719-1722, 14 L.Ed.2d 484 (1965). The
|
| 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,
|
| 132 |
+
49 L.Ed.2d 752 (1976).
|
| 133 |
+
FN19. Article I contains two Ex Post Facto Clauses, one directed to Congress (§ 9,
|
| 134 |
+
cl. 3), the other to the States (§ 10, cl. 1). We have construed the Clauses as
|
| 135 |
+
applicable only to penal legislation. See Calder v. Bull, 3 Dall. 386, 390-391, 1
|
| 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 |
+
risk that it may be tempted to use retroactive legislation as a means of retribution
|
| 141 |
+
against unpopular groups or individuals. As Justice Marshall observed in his opinion for
|
| 142 |
+
**1498 the Court in Weaver v. Graham, 450 U.S. 24, 101 S.Ct. 960, 67 L.Ed.2d 17
|
| 143 |
+
(1981), the Ex Post Facto Clause not only ensures that individuals have "fair warning"
|
| 144 |
+
about the effect of criminal statutes, but also "restricts governmental power by
|
| 145 |
+
restraining arbitrary and potentially vindictive legislation." Id., at 28-29, 101 S.Ct., at
|
| 146 |
+
963-964 (citations omitted). PN20
|
| 147 |
+
FN20. See Richmond v. J. A. Croson Co., 488 U.S. 469, 513-514, 109 S.Ct. 706,
|
| 148 |
+
732, 102 L.Ed.2d 854 (1989) (*Legislatures are primarily policymaking bodies that
|
| 149 |
+
promulgate rules to govern future conduct. The constitutional prohibitions against
|
| 150 |
+
the enactment of ex post facto laws and bills of attainder reflect a valid concern
|
| 151 |
+
about the use of the political process to punish or characterize past conduct of
|
| 152 |
+
private citizens. It is the judicial system, rather than the legislative process, that is
|

Not only is there no clear express intent stating that the statute is to apply
|
| 167 |
+
retroactively, but applying the current version of the statute, as amended in 2006, would
|
| 168 |
+
be in clear violation of the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution as it
|
| 169 |
+
would be applied to events occurring before its enactment and would increase the penalty
|
| 170 |

or punishment for the alleged crime. U.S. Const. Art. 1, §9, cl. 3, §10, cl. 1. U.S. V.

The United States Constitution provides that "En]o Bill of Attainder or ex

post facto Law shall be passed" by Congress. U.S. Const. art. I, § 9, cl. 3. A law

+
U.S. v. Siegel, 153 F.3d 1256, 1259 (11" Cir. 1998).
|
| 183 |
+
The statute, as amended in 2006, contains no language stating that the application
|
| 184 |
+
is to be retroactive.
|
| 185 |
+
Thus, there is no manifest intent that the statute is to apply
|
| 186 |
+
retroactively, and, accordingly, the statute in effect during the time of the alleged conduct
|
| 187 |
+
is to apply. Landgraf v. USI Film Products, supra, at 1493, ("A statement that a statute
|
| 188 |
+
will become effective on a certain date does not even arguably suggest that it has any
|
| 189 |
+
application to conduct that occurred at an earlier date.").
|
| 190 |
+
This statute was enacted as part of the Federal Criminal Statutes targeting sexual
|
| 191 |
+
predators and sex crimes against children. H.R. 3494, "Child Protection and Sexual
|
| 192 |
+
Predator Punishment Act of 1998;" House Report No. 105-557, 11, 1998 U.S.C.A.N.
|
| 193 |
+
678, 679 (1998). Quoting from the "Background and Need For Legislation" portion of
|
| 194 |
+
the House Report No. 105-557, 11-16, H.R. 3494, of which 18 U.S.C. §2255 is included,

Case 998-eV80BU9KAJ Document 546 Entered On FLSD DOSKA OHOS2OMO PAGET O 15

+
is described as "the most comprehensive package of new crimes and increased penalties
|
| 200 |
+
ever developed in response to crimes against children, particularly assaults facilitated by
|
| 201 |
+
computers." Further showing that §2255 was enacted as a criminal penalty or
|
| 202 |
+
punishment, "Title II - Punishing Sexual Predators," Sec. 206, from House Report No.
|
| 203 |
+
105-557, 5-6, specifically includes reference to the remedy created under §2255 as an
|
| 204 |
+
additional means of punishing sexual predators, along with other penalties and
|
| 205 |
+
punishments. Senatorial Comments in amending §2255 in 2006 confirm that the creation
|
| 206 |
+
of the presumptive minimum damage amount is meant as an additional penalty against
|
| 207 |
+
those who sexually exploit or abuse children. 2006 WL 2034118, 152 Cong. Rec. S8012-
|
| 208 |
+
02. Senator Kerry refers to the statutorily imposed damage amount as "penalties." Id.
|
| 209 |
+
The cases of U.S. v. Siegel, supra (11" Cir. 1998), and U.S. v.
|
| 210 |
+
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
|
| 223 |
+

|
| 224 |
+
|
| 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

|
| 253 |
+
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 |
+
N.Y. Dec. 9, 2009), United States District Court for the Northern District of New York
|
| 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
|
| 274 |
+
* The Eleventh Circuit, in holding that "the MVRA cannot be applied to a person whose

+
the behavior to which §2255 is criminal, it did not find that the "primary aim" was
|
| 282 |
+
"retribution and deterrence." "The statute serves civil goals." The "primary aim" is "the
|
| 283 |
+
compensation for personal injuries sustained as a result of criminal conduct."
|
| 284 |
+
Therefore, because Jane Doe 103 has invoked the provisions of the criminal Non-
|
| 285 |
+
Prosecution Agreement (NPA) between EPSTEIN and USAO (see paragraphs 25 and 26
|
| 286 |
+
of complaint), plaintiff cannot avoid the full protection of the rule of lenity and due
|
| 287 |
+
process to which EPSTEIN is entitled in the context of these unique factual
|
| 288 |
+
circumstances.
|
| 289 |
+
Although there does not exist any definitive ruling of whether the damages
|
| 290 |
+
awarded under §2255 are meant as criminal punishment or a civil damages award,
|
| 291 |
+
Defendant is still entitled to a determination as a matter of law that the statute in effect at
|
| 292 |
+
the time of the alleged criminal conduct applies.
|
| 293 |
+
As explained by the Landgraf court, supra at 280, and at 1505,5
|
| 294 |
+
impair rights a party possessed when he acted, increase a party's liability for pas
|
| 295 |
+
conduct, or impose new duties with respect to transactions already completed. If the
|
| 296 |
+
statute would operate retroactively, our traditional presumption teaches that it does not
|
| 297 |
+
Here, there is no clear expression of intent regarding the 2006 Act's application to
|
| 298 |
+
conduct occurring well before its enactment. See discussion of House Bill Reports and
|
| 299 |
+
Congressional background above herein.
|
| 300 |
+
> In Landgraf, the United States Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeals
|
| 301 |
+
and refused to apply new provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 to conduct occurring before
|
| 302 |
+
the effective date of the Act. The Court determined that statutory text in question, §102, was
|
| 303 |
+
subject to the presumption against statutory retroactivity.
|
| 304 |
+

+
|
| 307 |
+
Case 998-ev80BU9KAN Document 546 Entered On FLSD OAOSIZORO PAGE ALOF15
|
| 308 |
+
As stated in Landgraf, "the extent of a party's liability, in the civil context as well as
|
| 309 |
+
the criminal, is an important legal consequence that cannot be ignored." Courts have
|
| 310 |
+
consistently refused to apply a statute which substantially increases a party's liability to
|
| 311 |
+
conduct occurring before the statute's enactment. Landgraf, supra at 284-85. Even if
|
| 312 |
+
plaintiff were to argue that retroactive application of the new statute "would vindicate its
|
| 313 |
+
purpose more fully," even that consideration is not enough to rebut the presumption
|
| 314 |
+
against retroactivity. Id, at 285-86. "The presumption against statutory retroactivity is
|
| 315 |
+
founded upon sound considerations of general policy and practice, and accords with long
|
| 316 |
+
held and widely shared expectations about the usual operation of legislation." Id.
|
| 317 |
+
Thus, Count Six should be dismissed.
|
| 318 |
+
Motion For More Definite Statement and To Strike, Rule 12(e) and (f), F.R.C.P.
|
| 319 |
+
As noted above, Plaintiff alleges that she was 17 year old high school student as
|
| 320 |
+
of January, 2004, and that the alleged conduct involving EPSTEIN occurred "between
|
| 321 |
+
approximately January 2004 and May 2005. Thus, Plaintiff had to be 18 (no longer a
|
| 322 |
+
minor) by January of 2005. Under the principles of statutory construction, the language
|
| 323 |
+
of §2255(a) is clear - "Any minor who is a victim of a violation of section ...of this title
|
| 324 |
+
and who suffers personal injury as a result of such violation may sue in any appropriate
|
| 325 |
+
United States District Court and shall recover the actual damages such minor sustains
|
| 326 |
+
and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee. Any minor as described in
|
| 327 |
+
the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than
|
| 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
|
| 331 |
+
11
|
| 332 |
+
|

+
|

+
Case 998-eN 80319KAN Document 546 Entered On FLSD DOSKAL DAOSZORO PAGE 12 OF 15
|
| 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.
|
| 354 |
+
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests hat this Cout dismiss Count six apains him,

and further grant his Motion for More Definite Stardent tend to Strike.

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
|
| 63 |
+
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 |
+

+

+
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).
|
| 120 |
+

+
Case 9:08-cv-80994-KAM Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/28/2010 Page 5 of 10
|
| 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
|
| 149 |
+
Pendlebury have consistently rejected the "compelling need" standard for production of tax
|
| 150 |
+
returns. See cases cited above.

Case 9:08-cv-80994-KAM Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/28/2010 Page 6 of 10
|
| 155 |
+
production of tax returns is consistent with authority in this District and the Eleventh Circuit, and
|
| 156 |
+
thus should be affirmed.
|

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.
|
| 214 |
+
7
|
| 215 |
+
|
| 216 |
+
|
| 217 |
+
Case 9:08-cv-80994-KAM Document 92 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/28/2010 Page 8 of 10

| 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.

|
| 23 |
+
proceedings must be kept under seal to the extent and as long as necessary to prevent the
|
| 24 |
+
unauthorized disclosure of a matter occurring before a grand jury."
|
| 25 |
+
On November 7, 2011, the United States moved for permission to disclose limited
|
| 26 |
+
information from those grand jury proceedings relevant to this litigation. The Court issued an Order
|
| 27 |
+
allowing such limited disclosure, but required that all pleadings containing such information be filed
|
| 28 |
+
under seal.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

ARGUMENT

| 32 |
+
A.
|
| 33 |
+
B.
|
| 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 |
+
Jeffrey E. Epstein (the "Co-Executors"), submit this memorandum of law in support of their
|
| 174 |
+
motion, made pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), to dismiss Counts I-IV in
|
| 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.
|
| 193 |

+
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 |
+
|

+
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.)

Case 1:20-cv-00484-JGK-DCF Document 37 Filed 04/17/20 Page 10 of 14

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

intentional or negligent acts or omissions by a person for physical, psychological, or other

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

than eighteen years of age, incest as defined in section 255.27, 255.26 or 255.25 of the

| 308 |

penal law committed against a child less than eighteen years of age, or the use of a child in
|
| 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
|

+
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
|

+
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 |

+
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

|
| 365 |
+
Because none of the jurisdictions where the alleged torts occurred permits punitive
|
| 366 |
+
damages against the personal representatives of a decedent tortfeasor's estate, the Court must
|
| 367 |
+
dismiss Plaintiff's claim for punitive damages against the Co-Executors. See Poindexter v.

|
| 371 |
+
("punishment and deterrence are not accomplished by enabling recovery of punitive damages from
|
| 372 |
+
the estate of deceased tortfeasors."); NY EPTL § 11-3.2 (a)(1) ("For any injury, an action may be
|
| 373 |
+
brought or continued against the personal representative of the decedent, but punitive damages
|
| 374 |
+
shall not be awarded nor penalties adjudged in any such action brought to recover damages for
|
| 375 |
+
personal injury." (emphasis added)). That is also the law in most U.S. jurisdictions, as reflected
|
| 376 |
+
in the Restatement (Second) of Torts. See Restat. (Second) Of Torts § 908 cmt. a ("Punitive
|
| 377 |
+

|
| 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

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
|
| 410 |
+
equitable.

the privilege. His review will be complete by September 19, 2013, and the undersigned expects
|
| 23 |
+
the U.S. Attorney's declaration will be filed on Friday, September 20, 2013.

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."
|
| 88 |
+
V.

|

+
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
|
| 117 |
+
4
|
| 118 |
+
|
| 119 |
+
|
| 120 |
+
Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 559 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/04/2010 Page 5 of 7
|
| 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.

|
| 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.

3.
|
| 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
|
| 70 |
+
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.

|
| 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
|
| 124 |
+
|
| 125 |
+
|
| 126 |
+

+
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.

Rule 7.1 A. 3. Certification of Pre-Filing Conference
|
| 156 |
+
Counsel for Defendant conferred with Counsel for Plaintiff by telephone and by e-mail;
|
| 157 |
+
however, an agreement has not been reached.
|
| 158 |

WHEREFORE, Defendant moves this court for an order granting sanctions to include
|
| 159 |
+
attorneys fees and costs as set forth above and costs associated with the attendance of the court
|
| 160 |
+
reporter, the transcript and the presence of the videographer and direction that Jane Doe No. 4
|
| 161 |
+
appear for deposition within fifteen (15) days from the date of the court's order at the court
|
| 162 |
+
reporter's office. If the court has not issued an order regarding Mr. Epstein's attendance at
|
| 163 |
+
Plaintiff's deposition when Jane Doe No. 4 is to appear, the Defendant will agree that Mr.
|
| 164 |
+
Epstein will not be present in the building on the date of her scheduled deposition such that no
|
| 165 |
+
"inadvertent" contact will occur.

Dear Stuart:

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"
|

+
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 |
+

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 |
+
|
| 450 |
+

|
| 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).

***
|
| 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 |
+
|
| 518 |
+
|
| 519 |

|

That motion was denied, and the court tailored a method such that the
|
| 527 |
+
Defendant could obtain the records directly.
|
| 528 |
+
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 |

Sought counseling due to a dysfunctional home situation, specifically with

She described herself as being angry, bitter,

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.

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;
|
| 634 |
+
|

|
| 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 |

questionnaires Kliman had your clients fill out and which he utilized to formulate his opinions. I
|
| 824 |

|

I met with my attorneys, Robert D. Critton, Jr. and Mark T. Luttier, at 12:30 p.m.
|
| 877 |
+
in preparation for the deposition of Jane Doe No. 4 which was to take place beginning at 1:00

Incorporated Memorandum of Law, which had been filed on my behalf such that I could attend

the deposition and assist my attorneys in my defense.

4.
|
| 893 |

I also understood that as of 1:00 p.m. on September 16, after I had finished.
|
| 894 |
+
speaking with my attorneys that the court had not ruled regarding the above-referenced motions.
|
| 895 |
+
I was instructed by my attorneys that I could not attend the deposition and
|
| 896 |
+
therefore a video feed was set up such that I could view the deposition from my home.
|
| 897 |
+
6. I also understood that my attorneys did not want me in the building after the
|
| 898 |
+
deposition began.
|
| 899 |
+
At 1:04 p.m. after we assumed that everyone would be in the deposition room, my
|
| 900 |
+
lawyers went down on one elevator and I went down on another elevator with my driver, Igor
|
| 901 |
+
Zinovier, both exiting at approximately the same time.
|
| 902 |
+
8. I asked Igor where he had parked, and he said "out front". We exited the
|
| 903 |
+
elevator, I walked toward the front door. Near the front door, I saw a taller woman and a
|
| 904 |
+
shorter woman who I thought might be Jane Doe No. 4 and immediately turned to my left and
|
| 905 |
+
went out a separate exit to the garage.

PROCEEDINGS
|
| 1214 |
+
MR. HOROWITZ: Adam Horowitz, counsel for
|
| 1215 |
+
Plaintiff, Jane Doe 4.
|
| 1216 |
+
MR. CRITTON: Cindy, what time is it?
|
| 1217 |
+
THE COURT REPORTER: It is 1:03.
|
| 1218 |
+
MR. BERGER: William J. Berger for LM and
|
| 1219 |

EW.
|

MR. LANGINO: Adam Langino from

Leopold Kuvin on behalf of BB.

MR. LUTTIER: Mark Luttier on behalf of

Burman, Critton, Luttier & Coleman for the

| 1227 |
+
Defendant.
|
| 1228 |
+
MR. CRITTON: Robert Critton on behalf of
|
| 1229 |
+
Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein.
|
| 1230 |
+
MR. HOROWITZ: This is Adam Horowitz.
|
| 1231 |
+
We're canceling today's deposition. Before
|
| 1232 |
+
appearing here today, we had a stipulation with
|
| 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 |
+

her and intimidated her, and for that reason

|
| 1295 |
+
MR. CRITTON: I didn't see any contact
|
| 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

+
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

+
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
|

and inappropriate, illegal, and otherwise commercial sexual services provided by Epstein's

victims such that the corrupt intent of this scheme involved males other than Epstein himself.

As a direct and proximate result of the methodology of the deviant scheme and the goals of

sexual exploitation of the women recruited and victimized, Plaintiff was subject to unwanted

+
touching of her breasts and genitals, other sensitive areas of her body, required to perform acts

other deviant sexual acts against her will. Furthermore, the plaintiff's virginity was forcefully

| 329 |
+
taken from her against her will.

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 |

result in serious financial, reputational, physical and emotional harm to her.

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

+
otherwise independently available to Defendants or their counsel.
|
| 442 |
+
6.
|
| 443 |
+
Plaintiff objects to the Interrogatories to the extent they purport to call for
|
| 444 |
+
documents or information that: (a) are subject to the attorney-client privilege; (b) constitute

| 467 |
+
than those imposed by the Rules.
|
| 468 |
+
11. Plaintiff objects to the Interrogatories, and in particular, Definitions No. 4 and
|

| 474 |
+
13. Plaintiff objects to each Interrogatory to the extent that it asks Plaintiff to identify
|
| 475 |
+
"each" or "all" persons, documents, communications, etc., on the ground that each such
|
| 476 |
+
Interrogatory is overly broad and that compliance with each such Interrogatory would be unduly
|
| 477 |
+
burdensome and not proportional to the needs of this case.
|
| 478 |
+
14.
|
| 479 |
+
Plaintiff objects to each Interrogatory to the extent that it secks information or
|
| 480 |
+

+
15.
|
| 482 |
+

|
| 483 |
+
assumptions of fact or law with respect to matters at issue in this case. Plaintiff's Responses are
|
| 484 |
+
not intended to be and shall not be construed as an agreement or concurrence with Defendants'
|
| 485 |
+
characterization of any facts, circumstances, or legal obligations. Plaintiff reserves the right to
|
| 486 |
+
contest any such characterization as inaccurate.

|
| 489 |
+
applicable law or rule. The failure to assert such rights and privileges or the inadvertent disclosure

+
by Plaintiff of information or documents protected by such rights or privileges shall not constitute
|
| 491 |
+
|
| 492 |
+
|
| 493 |
+

|
| 495 |
+
objections or responses.
|
| 496 |
+
17.
|
| 497 |
+

|
| 498 |
+
interpreted as implying that Plaintiff acknowledges the propriety of that Interrogatory.

| 499 |
+
18.
|
| 500 |
+
Plaintiff's Responses to the Interrogatories are made to the best of Plaintiff's

+
knowledge of facts as may result from Plaintiff's further discovery or investigation.

+

|
| 507 |
+

|
| 511 |

materiality, privilege, or admissibility of Plaintiff's Responses herein and any documents produced

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
|
| 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.

PLAINTIFFS' MEMORANDUM IN OPPOSITION
|
| 148 |
+
TO MOTION TO STAY AND OR CONTINUE ACTION
|
| 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
|
| 160 |
+
Non-Prosecution Agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office. Defendant relies upon an amorphous

|
| 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
|
| 70 |
+

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.

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
|
| 124 |
+
|

+

| 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,

|
| 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

baby especially with him. Okay. So I know who
|
| 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
|
| 289 |

my ability to trust men and my sexual

THE COURT: When does your client allege
|
| 322 |

that she had her first encounter with
|
| 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.

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 --
|
| 343 |
+
THE COURT: They wouldn't care about the
|
| 344 |
+
women.
|
| 345 |
+
MR.
|
| 346 |
+
Right. Well, I mean --

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.

MR.

: Maybe not, but certainly that's

the way this discovery is going. And, Judge,
|
| 435 |
+
what --
|
| 436 |
+
THE COURT: What are the damages you think
|
| 437 |
+
your client is seeking?
|
| 438 |
+
MR.
|
| 439 |
+
: She is seeking emotional
|
| 440 |
+
distress
|
| 441 |
+
damages for depression and anxiety and
|
| 442 |
+
she has been hospitalized at the Oakwood Center.
|
| 443 |
+
Her friend -- she was on the phone to a friend
|
| 444 |
+
who called the sheriff's office because she
|
| 445 |
+
thought she was suicidal. The sheriffs
|
| 446 |
+
responded. They Baker Acted her that day and
|
| 447 |
+
they took her eventually to the Oakwood Center.
|
| 448 |
+
THE COURT: How do we know it's not
|
| 449 |
+
intertwined with her rejection by three other men
|
| 450 |
+
since Mr. Epstein?
|
| 451 |
+
MR.
|
| 452 |
+
: Well, even if it was related to
|
| 453 |
+
her rejection by three other men -- you mean
|
| 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 |
+
MR. CRITTON: It's like a one-time visit
|
| 460 |
+
when she was Baker Acted and then there's some
|
| 461 |
+

other --
|
| 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
|
| 515 |
+

humiliation, loss of reputation, mental anguish,
|
| 545 |
+
pain and suffering, the same type of damages.
|
| 546 |
+
And what the Court said --
|
| 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

|

25
|
| 598 |

one of the cases that I have is there's a young
|
| 599 |
+
Lady who claims that she was molested in the past
|
| 600 |
+
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
|
| 603 |
+
psychiatric and psychological evaluation.
|
| 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 |
+
that may play a role in her damages and what --
|
| 611 |
+
THE COURT: What I'm going to allow for
|
| 612 |
+
discovery purposes only not necessarily getting
|
| 613 |
+
it in at the time trial are two years before her
|
| 614 |
+
first encounter with Mr. Epstein and anything
|
| 615 |
+
subsequent.
|
| 616 |
+
MR.
|
| 617 |
+
•: Judge, I just wanted to say on
|
| 618 |
+
the record because I forgot to mention it,
|
| 619 |
+
there's also -- I did state an objection to the
|
| 620 |
+
identity of people that are unrepresented in this
|
| 621 |
+
courtroom. They have rights too. So what I --
|
| 622 |
+
THE COURT: Well, my suggestion is that you
|
| 623 |
+
send those people a letter and tell them that
|
| 624 |
+

you're going to disclose them and if they have a
|
| 653 |
+
problem with it that they come to see me before
|
| 654 |
+
you disclose it.
|
| 655 |
+
So I'm going to give you 20 days to
|
| 656 |
+
respond to this rather than the usual five and
|
| 657 |
+
that will give you time to put these people on
|
| 658 |

notice and if they want to come visit with me and
|
| 659 |
+
have a John Doe, I'll have a John Doe hearing
|
| 660 |
+
but, you know, this is her case. She's doing it.
|
| 661 |
+
She's the one seeking damages, and he is entitled
|
| 662 |
+
to be able to confront other individuals to find
|
| 663 |
+
out information that may be relevant to the
|
| 664 |
+
damages she's seeking or she can drop the
|
| 665 |
+
damages. That's her choice. If you seek
|
| 666 |
+
damages, you've got to do it - if you could put
|
| 667 |
+
that in an order so that we have a time for him
|
| 668 |
+
to do this.
|
| 669 |
+
Just fill out an order, hand it back up
|
| 670 |
+
to me and I'll deal with it.

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 |
+
Not my friend. Like their friend's. They were watching their house or whatever they

| 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?
|
| 72 |
+
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
|

• - 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.

| 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
|
| 117 |

|
| 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?

|
| 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?
