+ Plaintiff, Jane Doc No. 8 ("Jane" or "Jane Doe"), brings this Complaint against Jeffrey Epstein, as follows:
20
+
21
+ # Parties, Jurisdiction and Venue
22
+
23
+ - 1. Jane Doe No. 8 ("Jane Doe") is a citizen and resident of the State of Florida, and is sui juris.
24
+ - 2. This Complaint is brought under a fictitious name to protect the identity of the Plaintiff because this Complaint makes sensitive allegations of sexual assault and abuse upon a minor.
25
+ - 3. Defendant Jeffrey Epstein is a citizen and resident of the State of New York, and presently serving a prison sentence in Palm Beach County, Florida for, inter alia, solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of minors to engage in prostitution..
26
+ - 4. This is an action for damages in excess of \$50 million.
27
+ - 5. This Court has jurisdiction of this action and the claims set forth herein pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1332(a), as the matter in controversy (i) exceeds \$75,000, exclusive of interest and costs;
28
+
29
+ and (ii) is between citizens of different states.
30
+
31
+ 6. Additionally, this Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1331 because Plaintiff alleges a claim under the laws of the United States. This Court has supplemental jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1367(a) over all other claims set forth herein which form part of the same case or controversy.
32
+
33
+ 7. This Court has venue of this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§1391(a) and 1391(6) as a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred in this District.
34
+
35
+ # Factual Allegations
36
+
37
+ 8. At all relevant times, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein") was an adult male in his early 50's. Epstein is a financier and money manager with a secret clientele limited exclusively to billionaires. He is himself a man of tremendous wealth, power and influence. He maintains his principal home in New York and also owns residences in New Mexico, St. and Palm Beach, FL. The allegations herein concern Epstein's conduct while at his lavish estate in Palm Beach.
38
+
39
+ 9. Upon information and belief, Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for underage minor girls. He engaged in a plan and scheme in which he gained access to primarily economically disadvantaged minor girls in his home, sexually assaulted these girls, and then gave them money. In or about 2001, Jane Doe, then approximately 16 years old, fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims.
40
+
41
+ 10. Upon information and belief, Jeffrey Epstein carried out his scheme and assaulted girls in Florida, New York and on his private island, known as Little St. James, in St.
42
+
43
+ 11. Epstein's scheme involved the use of young girls to recruit underage girls. These underage girls were recruited ostensibly to give a wealthy man a massage for monetary compensation
44
+
45
+ in his Palm Beach mansion. Epstein, upon information and belief, generally sought out economically disadvantaged underage girls from Palm Beach County who would be enticed by the money being offered - generally \$200 to \$300 per "massage" session - and who were perceived as less likely to complain to authorities or have credibility if allegations of improper conduct were made.
46
+
47
+ 12. Epstein's plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method. The underage victim would be brought or directed to Epstein's mansion, where she would be led up a flight of stairs to a room that contained a massage table in addition to other furnishings. The girl would then find herself alone in the room with Epstein, who would be wearing only a towel. He would then remove his towel and lie naked on the massage table, and direct the girl to remove her clothes. Epstein would then perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts.
48
+
49
+ 13. Consistent with the foregoing plan and scheme, Jane Doe was recruited by another girl, who told her that she could make some money, but did not tell her what was involved. At all relevant times, the girl who recruited Jane Doe was acting on behalf of and as agent for Epstein. Jane was contacted by this girl by telephone. Jane was then picked up and brought to Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach. Once there, she was led up the flight of stairs to the room with the massage table. Epstein came into the room and directed Jane to remove her clothes and give him a massage. Jane was frightened and felt trapped. As directed by Epstein, Jane removed her clothes. Epstein then during the massage touched Jane on her breasts and vagina, and he grabbed her hand and placed it on his penis. Epstein masturbated himself during the massage. Epstein then left money for Jane.
50
+
51
+ 14. As a result of this encounter with Epstein, Jane experienced confusion, shame, humiliation and embarrassment, and has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries.
52
+
53
+ # COUNT I Sexual Assault and Batten
54
+
55
+ - 15. Plaintiff Jane Doe repeats and realleges paragraphs 1 through 14 above.
56
+ - 16. Epstein made an intentional, unlawful offer of offensive sexual contact toward Jane Doc, creating a reasonable fear of imminent peril and sexual assault.
57
+ - 17. Epstein intentionally inflicted harmful or offensive sexual contact on the person of Jane Doe.

+ - 18. Epstein tortiously committed a sexual assault and battery on Jane Doe. Epstein's acts were intentional, unlawful, offensive and harmful.
59
+ - 19. Epstein's plan and scheme in which he committed such acts upon Jane Doe were done willfully and maliciously.
60
+ - 20. As a direct and proximate result of Epstein's assault on Jane, she has suffered and will continue to suffer severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages and loss of enjoyment of life.

71
+
72
+ 25. Epstein's conduct caused severe emotional distress to Jane Doe. Epstein knew or had reason to know that his intentional and outrageous conduct would cause emotional distress and damage to Jane Doe, or Epstein acted with reckless disregard of the high probability of causing severe emotional distress to Jane Doe.
73
+
74
+ 26. As a direct and proximate result of Epstein's intentional or reckless conduct, Jane Doe has suffered and will continue to suffer severe mental anguish and pain, psychological and emotional injuries and los of enjoyment of life. .

+ 29. On June 30, 2008, Epstein entered a plea of guilty to violations of Florida §§ 796.07 and 796.03, in the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County (Case nos. 2008-cf-00938 1 AXXXMB and 2006-cf-009454AXXXMB), for conduct involving the same plan and scheme as alleged herein.

89
+
90
+ 32. As a result of Epstein's violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422, Plaintiff has suffered personal injury, including mental, psychological and emotional damages.

13
+ ### DEFENDANT EPSTEIN'S MOTION TO DISMISS PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
14
+
15
+ Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN ("Epstein"), by and through his attorneys, moves to dismiss Counts I and III of Plaintiffs Complaint as the causes of action are barred by the applicable statute of limitations.1an° 2 Rule 12(b)(6); Local Gen. Rule 7.1 (S.D. Ma. 2009). In support of dismissal, Defendant states:
16
+
17
+ Plaintiffs Complaint attempts to allege three Counts; the first two counts are pursuant to state common law, and the third count is brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255. Civil remedy for personal injuries. Count I attempts to allege a cause of action for "Sexual Assault and Battery," Count II for "Intentional Infliction of Emotional
18
+
19
+ Plaintiffs Complaint attempts to assert both state common law claims and a claim pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255. Since Jane Doe 8 did not relinquish her state claims and correspondingly did not file her complaint relying, exclusively, on 18 USC 2255, she is not entitled to the litigation benefits including certain waivers that directly or indirectly accrue to other civil plaintiffs from the defendant's fulfilling obligations resulting from his separate confidential agreement with the United Staes Attorneys Office. Plaintiffs counsel conceded that the provisions of the NPA are not implicated where a plaintiff brings additional causes of action and does not proceed exclusively under §2255. See June 12, 2009, Hearing Transcript in Jane Doe, et al v. Epstein, Case No. 08.80119-Civ-Marra, p. 29, line 19-25, p. 30, line 1.
20
+
21
+ <sup>2</sup>Undersigned counsel provided the United States Attorneys' Office a copy of this Motion on July 9, 2009. We requested confirmation that this motion did not involve any aspect of the Non Prosecution Agreement and advised of our required filing date. No response was received from the USAO.
22
+
23
+ Distress;" and Count III for "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422," pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255.
24
+
25
+ Pursuant to the allegations on the face of Plaintiffs complaint, Count I, based on Florida's common law of assault and battery, and Count III, brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255, are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Although a statute of limitations bar to a claim is an affirmative defense, and a plaintiff is not required to negate an affirmative defense in her complaint, a Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal on statute of limitations grounds is appropriate where, as here, "it is 'apparent from the face of the complaint' that the claim is time-barred." See generally, La Grasta v. First Union Securities, Inc., 358 F.3d 840, 845 -846 (11th Cir. 2004).
26
+
27
+ ## Count I is barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
28
+
29
+ As to Count I, which is plead pursuant to state law, it is well settled that this Court is to apply Florida law. Erie R.Co. v. Tompkins, 58 S.Ct. 817 (1938). Pursuant to Florida law, the statute of limitations for assault and battery is four years, §95.11(3)(o)., Fla. Stat. §95.11(3)(o), Fla. Stat., provides —
30
+
31
+ Actions other than for recovery of real property shall be commenced as follows:
32
+
33
+ ## (3) Within four years.—
34
+
35
+ \*
36
+
37
+ (o) An action for assault, battery, false arrest, malicious prosecution, malicious interference, false imprisonment, or any other intentional tort, except as provided in subsections (4), (5), and (7).
38
+
39
+ In her Complaint, Plaintiff alleges in relevant part that -
40
+
41
+ 9. ... In or about 2001, Jane Doe, then approximately 16 years old, fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims.
42
+
43
+ According to the allegations of the Complaint, Jane Doe had one encounter with Defendant at his Palm Beach mansion in or about 2001 when Jane was approximately 16 years old. See Complaint, ¶13, endnote 1 hereto.' Based on the allegations of the Complaint, it has been at least 8 years since the alleged conduct by EPSTEIN, well past the four year statute of limitations, thus requiring dismissal of Count I. Based on the allegations, Plaintiff is now at least 24 years old.
44
+
45
+ Subsections (4) and (5) referenced in §95.11(3)(o) are not applicable. Plaintiff may attempt to argue that subsection (7) of §95.11, Fla. Stat. applies. See endnote 2 hereto for statutory text of subsection (7), including statutes referenced therein.2 However, a review of Plaintiff's allegations in Count I establish that Plaintiff is attempting to assert a cause of action based on the elements of Florida's common law assault and battery to which a four year statute of limitation applies. (Compare Count II, ¶24, wherein Plaintiff tracks the language §39.01(2), Fla. Stat. (2001), pertaining to "abuse.").
46
+
47
+ Pursuant to Florida law, although the term "assault and battery" is most commonly referred to as if it were a legal unit, or a single concept, "assault and battery are separate and distinct legal concepts, assault being the beginning of an act which, if consummated, constitutes battery." 3A Fla.Jur.2d Assault §1. An assault and battery are intentional acts. See generally, Spivey v. Battaglia 258 So.2d 815 (Fla. 1972); and Travelers Indem. Co. v. PCR, Inc. 889 So.2d 779 (Fla. 2004).
48
+
49
+ On the face of the Complaint, the applicable four year statute of limitations has expired, and accordingly, Count I is barred an required to be dismissed.
50
+
51
+ ### Count III —18 U.S.C. 42255
52
+
53
+ As to the applicable statute of limitations for Count III which is brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255, §2255(b), (both the 2001 version, which Defendant asserts is the applicable statute, and the amended version, effective July 27, 2006), provides:
54
+
55
+ (b) Statute of limitations.-Any action commenced under this section shall be barred unless the complaint is filed within six years after the right of action first accrues or in the case of a person under a legal disability, not later than three years after the disability.
56
+
57
+ As noted above, according to the allegations of the Complaint, Jane Doe had one encounter with Defendant at his Palm Beach mansion in or about 2001 when Jane was approximately 16 years old. See Complaint, ¶13, endnote 1 hereto. Based on the allegations of the Complaint, it has been at least 8 years since the alleged conduct by EPSTEIN, well past the six year statute of limitations, thus requiring dismissal of Count III. Based on the allegations, Plaintiff is now at least 24 years old, well pass the age of majority. (The age of majority under both federal and state law is 18 years old. See 18 U.S.C. §2256(1), defining a "minor" as "any person under the age of eighteen years:" and §1.01, Definitions, Fla. Stat., defining "minor" to include "any person who has not attained the age of 18 years."). Thus, on the face of the Complaint, Count III is timed barred and required to be dismissed.
58
+
59
+ ### Conclusion
60
+
61
+ Accordingly, Counts I and III of Plaintiff's Complaint are subject to dismissal. On the face of the Complaint, the causes of action which Plaintiff attempts to allege are barred by the applicable statute of limitations of 4 and 6 years, respectively.
62
+
63
+ WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court dismiss Counts I and III of Plaintiff's Complaint with prejudice.

Once there, she was lead up a flight of stairs to the room with the massage table. Epstein came into the room and directed Jane to remove her clothes and give him a massage. Jane was frightened and felt trapped. As directed by Epstein, Jane removed her clothes. Epstein then during the massage touched Jane on her breasts and vagina, and he grabbed her hand and placed it on his penis. Epstein masturbated himself during the massage. Epstein then left money for Jane.

14
+
15
+ Plaintiff, Jane Doe No. 8, by and through undersigned counsel, files this Unopposed Motion to Consolidate for Discovery Purposes, and states as follows:
16
+
17
+ - I. This case involves the alleged sexual abuse of Jane Doe No. 8 in 2001 by Jeffrey Epstein in Palm Beach, Florida.
18
+ - 2. The facts of this case arise from the same series of events as the multiple cases pending in this Court against Jeffrey Epstein which are consolidated for purposes of discovery as Jane Doe No. 2 v. Jeffrey Epstein, Case no. 08-CV-80119-Marra
19
+ - 3. It is anticipated by the parties that there will be a significant overlap in witnesses, evidence, and depositions in this case and the consolidated proceedings.
20
+ - 4. Accordingly, Jane Doe No. 8 requests that this Court consolidate this case with Jane Doe No. 2 v. Jeffrey Epstein, Case no. 08-CV-80119-Marra/M and consolidated cases, for purposes of discovery only and amend the caption of the consolidated cases accordingly.
21
+ - 5. Prior to the filing of this Motion, Plaintiff's counsel conferred with Defendant's
22
+
23
+ counsel, who advised that Defendant does not oppose the relief requested.
24
+
25
+ Dated: August II. 2009. Respectfully submitted.

12

13
+ ### PLAINTIFF JANE DOE NO. 8's MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN OPPOSITION TO MOTION TO DISMISS PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
14
+
15
+ Plaintiff, Jane Doe No. 8, submits this Memorandum of Law in Opposition to Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint, pursuant to S.D.Fla.L.R. 7.1(C), as follows:
16
+
17
+ # INTRODUCTION
18
+
19
+ As with the related cases in this Court against Defendant Jeffrey Epstein, Plaintiff Jane Doe No. 8 alleges that she was the victim of a plan and scheme by Defendant Epstein to lure her to his Palm Beach mansion, where he sexually molested her. The Complaint in this case sets forth state law claims and a federal law claim under 18 U.S.C. §§2422 and 2255. Defendant relies exclusively on the statute of limitations as grounds for dismissal pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(bX6).
20
+
21
+ With respect to Plaintiff's state law causes of action for assault and battery, Defendant incorrectly applies a four-year statute of limitations. Florida Statute §95.11 is clear that a seven-year statute of limitations applies to the state law claims alleged by Plaintiff. As a result, the state law cause of action for assault and battery is timely.
22
+
23
+ In contending that Plaintiff's federal claim should be dismissed based on the statute of
24
+
25
+ limitations, Defendant wrongly assumes that this claim accrued on the date when Defendant's wrongful conduct occurred. Defendant's argument fails to recognize that the "discovery rule" is applicable, which provides that an action does not accrue until the Plaintiff knew or should have known of both her injuries and their cause. Given the nature of the discovery rule and the factual inquiry it necessitates in the context of childhood sexual abuse, Plaintiff's federal claim is not susceptible to dismissal on statute of limitations grounds pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6). Accordingly, Defendant's Motion to Dismiss should be denied in its entirety.
26
+
27
+ #### ARGUMENT
28
+
29
+ ### I. DISMISSAL IS NOT WARRANTED UNDER FED.R.CIV.P. 12(b)(6) AS TO ANY OF PLAINTIFF'S CLAIMS
30
+
31
+ Defendant moves for dismissal of Counts I and Ill of the Complaint exclusively on grounds of statute of limitations, which is an affirmative defense. Such a dismissal "is appropriate only if its is apparent from the face of the complaint that the claim is time barred." Tello v Witter Inc., 410 F.3d 1275, 1288 (11th Cir. 2005) (citation omitted). "This standard for dismissal can be met only if the complaint shows the date on which the time-barred claim accrued." Durden v. Citicorp Trust Bank, 2008 WL 2098040 \*3 (M.D.Fla. 2008) (citing Avco Corp. v. Precision Air Parts Inc., 676 F.2d 494, 495-96 (11th Cir. 1982)) (emphasis supplied). Accord Del Monte Fresh Produce Co. v. Dole Food Co. 136 F.Supp. 2d 1271, 1294 (S.D. Fla. 2001) (Gold, J.) ("R]he absence of an indication of the date on which Del Monte discovered the alleged misappropriations prevents the Court from determining from the face of the complaint at what time Del Monte's actions accrued."). It is not apparent from the Complaint in this case that any of Plaintiff's claims are time barred. In particular, nowhere does the Complaint allege the date on which any of her claims accrued. Therefore, Defendant's Motion to Dismiss must be denied in its entirety.
32
+
33
+ ## H. COUNT I OF COMPLAINT IS NOT TIME BARRED UNDER THE SEVEN-YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. FLA. STAT. O5.11(7)
34
+
35
+ Count I (assault and battery) and Count II (intentional infliction of emotional distress) allege claims under state law. I Defendant asserts that Count I should be dismissed because a four-year statute of limitations applies to that claim, and it is apparent from the face of the Complaint that Plaintiff filed her claim past this limitations period. Defendant recognizes that, for this argument to succeed, he must establish that Fla.Stat. §95.11(7), providing a seven-year limitations period after the Plaintiff reaches the age of majority for claims based on abuse, is inapplicable in this case. A review of the language of the Statute, however, and applying basic tenets of statutory construction, reveal that §95. I 1(7) is clearly the statute of limitations pertinent to Plaintiff's state law claims.
36
+
37
+ Section 95.11(7) provides a seven-year limitations period, as follows:
38
+
39
+ (7) For intentional torts based on abuse. — An action founded on alleged abuse, as defined in s. 39.01, . . . may be commenced at any time within 7 years after the age of majority, or within 4 years after the injured person leaves the dependency of the abuser, or within 4 years from the time of discovery by the injured party of both the injury and the causal relationship between the injury and the abuse, whichever occurs later.
40
+
41
+ The term "abuse" is defined in Fla.Stat. §39.01(2) as follows:
42
+
43
+ "Abuse" means any willful act or threatened act that results in any physical, mental or sexual injury or harm that causes or is likely to cause the child's physical, mental, or emotional health to be significantly impaired.
44
+
45
+ The Complaint in this case alleges "abuse" under the broad definition of §39.01. Specifically, Count I alleges willful acts (Complaint 11 8-13, 18-19); resulting in physical, mental or sexual injury (Complaint 13,17); that cause or are likely to cause the child's physical, mental or emotional
46
+
47
+ <sup>&#</sup>x27; Defendant did not move for dismissal of Count II.
48
+
49
+ health to be significantly impaired (Complaint VI 14, 20). Under §95.11(7), therefore, the Plaintiff has until seven years after she reaches the age of majority to bring suit (Le. until she is 25 years old), or within four years from the time she discovers both the injury and the causal relationship between the injury and abuse, whichever occurs later. Accordingly, the statute of limitations cannot expire before the Plaintiff's 25th birthday, and her Count I claim is timely under §95.11(7).
50
+
51
+ Defendant nonetheless asserts that the pertinent limitations provision is §95.11(3)(o), providing a four-year limitation period, not §95. 11(7). Section 95.11(3)(o), lists causes of action subject to a four-year limitations period, as follows:
52
+
53
+ > An action for assault, battery, false arrest, malicious prosecution, malicious interference, false imprisonment, or any other intentional tort, except as provided in subsections (4), (5), and (7).
54
+
55
+ (Emphasis supplied). Section 95.11(3)(o), by its express terms, is subject to an exception, as provided in § 95.11(7). The plain meaning of this language is that an intentional tort claim alleging "abuse" against a child, as described in Fla.Stat. §39.01, is controlled by §95.11(7), which trumps §95. I I (3Xo). The seven-year limitations period (or four years after discovery) thus applies in this case. See v. Tyler Technologies, Inc., 217 F.Supp. 2d 1255, 1259 (M.D. Fla. 2002) (where language of a statute is clear and unambiguous, the statute must be given its plain and obvious meaning).
56
+
57
+ Defendant nonetheless seems to argue that §95.11(3)(o) applies because it expressly references the intentional torts of assault and battery, ignoring that the Complaint at issue alleges "abuse" as defined in Florida Statute §§95. 1 1(7) and 39.01(2). This is a strained and plainly incorrect construction of the language in §§95.11(3)(o) and 95.11(7). Defendant essentially contends that only a claim of "abuse" would be controlled by §95. I I (7), while other intentional torts would
58
+
59
+ necessarily fall under §95.11(3)(o). However, as one Court has recognized, there is no Florida cause of action for abuse, and §95.11(7) did not create one. Zlotogura v. Geller 681 So.2d 778 (Ha. 3d DCA 1996). Accordingly, if §95.11(7) is to have any meaning, it necessarily must encompass claims of assault and battery and other intentional torts involving "abuse" upon a child as defined in §39.01(2).
60
+
61
+ Even assuming that §§95.11(3)(o) and 95.11(7) were ambiguous, it is a basic rule of statutory construction that two sections are to be read in pam =feria, such that all sections are given effect and are read as a consistent whole. H.T.E., 217 F.Supp. 2d at 1259. Doing so in this case compels the conclusion that the seven-year limitation of §95.11(7) applies to Plaintiff's Count I claim. Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Count I must accordingly be denied.
62
+
63
+ ### III. THE COMPLAINT DOES NOT SHOW ON ITS FACE THAT PLAINTIFF'S COUNT III CLAIM IS TIME BARRED
64
+
65
+ Count III of the Complaint alleges a claim of coercion and enticement to sexual activity against a minor in violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422. A victim who suffers personal injuries as a result of a violation of this statutory provision is granted a private right of action under 18 U.S.C. §2255. A limitations provision is included on this statute at subsection (b), which provides that a claim is barred unless it is brought "within six years after the rights of action first accrues or in the case of a person under a legal disability, not later than three years after disability."2 The pertinent issue, then, for purposes of this statute of limitations, where the victim is over the age of 21, is when the action accrued. Defendant Epstein assumes in his Motion to Dismiss that the action accrued on the date
66
+
67
+ <sup>2</sup> Under Florida law, a person is under a disability as a minor until age 18. See Fla. Stat. §743.07.
68
+
69
+ when Epstein's sexual misconduct occurred.' That assumption is incorrect under federal law and the allegations of the Complaint.
70
+
71
+ A claim does not necessarily accrue when the wrongful conduct occurs. Rather, the "discovery rule" applies to accrual of federal causes of action. See v. Mercury Marine, 129 F.3d 1428, 1435 (11th Cir. 1997) (noting that use of word "accrue" indicated approval of discovery rule in statute of limitations in accordance with federal precedents adopting discovery rule). Under this rule, an action accrues "when the plaintiff knew or should have known of his injury and its cause.s4 Id. (emphasis supplied). See also Lavellee v. Listi,611 F.2d 1129, 1131 (5th Cir. 1980) (in a case analyzing accrual under federal law for a civil rights claims under 42 U.S.C. §1983, noting that the Supreme Court in United States v. Kubrick 444 U.S. III, 100 S.Ct. 352 (1979), "has rejected the standard which would allow the statute of limitations to commence running before the plaintiff was or should have been aware of the causal connection between his injury and the acts of defendants") (emphasis supplied). Accord. v. United States, 165 F.3d 1337, 1340 (11th Cir. 1999) (in wrongful death case under Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), holding that claim accrues when the plaintiff knows or should have known both of the decedent's death and its causal connection to the government); Stoleson v. United States, 629 F.2d 1265, 1270-71(7th Cir. 1980)
72
+
73
+ <sup>3</sup> The Motion to Dismiss asserts that "it has been at least 8 years since the alleged conduct by EPSTEIN, well past the six year statute of limitations, thus requiring dismissal of Count HI." (Motion to Dismiss, p. 4).
74
+
75
+ <sup>4</sup> The case of v Husband, 376 F.Supp. 2d 603 (E.D.Va. 2005) is inapposite. While that case was brought under 18 U.S.C. §2255 fora violation of 18 U.S.C. §2251, alleging sexual exploitation of a minor for the purpose of producing a sexually explicit videotape, the plaintiff did not argue the discovery rule. Rather, the plaintiff contended that the continuing violation rule applied to toll the statute of limitations, which the Court rejected. As a result, the Court never considered application of the discovery rule.
76
+
77
+ (holding that claim under FTCA did not accrue until the plaintiff had knowledge of a causal connection "to tie together" the breach of duty and her injury); Skwira v. United States 344 F.3d 64, 76-83 (1st Cir. 2003), cert. denied, 542 U.S. 903 (2004) (holding that discovery rule, requiring that accrual does not occur before the plaintiff knew or should have known of injury and its causal connection to the defendant, applies outside the medical malpractice context).
78
+
79
+ In a case where a minor is sexually abused, or wrongfully enticed or coerced into sexual activity by an adult, the victim is unlikely in the exercise of reasonable diligence to be (i) immediately aware of her injuries given the subtle and pernicious effects of childhood sexual abuse; or (ii) able to connect those injuries to the defendant's misconduct. S Doe v. Paukstat, 863 F.Supp. 884, 890-91 (ED. Wis. 1994) (noting that application of discovery rule in case of childhood sexual abuse is "amorphous", and holding that when cause of action for abuse accrues is a question for the trier-of-fact)• cf. R.L. v. Voytac, 971 A.2d 1074 (N.J. 2009) (holding that "it is necessary to consider all relevant facts and circumstances", including expert psychological testimony, in applying discovery rule to claim of childhood sexual abuse, and that the issue is "when the injured party in fact discovered, or when a reasonable person subjected to child sexual abuse should have discovered, that the claimed injury was causally related to the asserted child abuse by the defendant"). The determination of when the limitations period accrues under the discovery rule, in a case involving the defendant's sexual misconduct with a minor, therefore, requires a detailed and complex factual inquiry. The date of accrual certainly is not obvious nor is it otherwise alleged in the Plaintiff's Complaint? As a result, Count III cannot be dismissed under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(bX6) on the basis of
80
+
81
+ sAs discussed in §I above, dismissal under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(6)(6) on statute of limitations grounds is only appropriate when the date of accrual is alleged in the complaint itself.
82

83
+ the statute of limitations.6

85
+ ### CONCLUSION
86
+
87
+ Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff respectfully requests that Defendant's Motion to Dismiss be denied in its entirety.

92
+
93
+ <sup>6</sup> It would also be inappropriate to dismiss this case on limitations grounds because Defendant has argued in one of the related cases that 18 U.S.C. §2255 requires a prior federal conviction. (aLe Jane Doe 101 v. Epstein case no. 09-CV-80591, Motion to Dismiss First Amended Complaint, p. 15, §II(A), DE 29). If that argument were correct then the Plaintiff's claim in Count 111 has not yet accrued. Defendant should not be heard to whipsaw the Plaintiffs and take such inconsistent positions in these related cases.

4
+
5
+ JANE DOE NO. 8
6
+
7
+ Plaintiff, v.
8
+
9
+ JEFFREY EPSTEIN,
10
+
11
+ Defendant.
12
+
13
+ #### DEFENDANT EPSTEIN'S REPLY TO PLAINTIFF'S MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN OPPOSITION TO MOTION TO DISMISS PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT, dated 08/12/09
14
+
15
+ Defendant EPSTEIN, by and through his attorneys, replies to Plaintiff JANE DOE No. 8's Memorandum of Law in Opposition to Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint, ("memorandum"), dated August 12, 2009. In support of dismissal of Count I — "Sexual Assault and Battery" and Count III — "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422," based on the statute of limitations, Defendant replies:
16
+
17
+ ## Introduction
18
+
19
+ Defendant's position is that Counts I and III are each barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Since the issues in parts I and II of Plaintiff's memorandum overlap, Defendant will address those parts together in I and II herein. Part III addresses the statute of limitations for Count III, as set forth in 18 U.S.C. §2255(b).
20
+
21
+ - I. Plaintiff's Complaint on its face does show the date that her claims accrued.
22
+ - II. Based on the Complaint allegations, 495.11(7). Fla. Stat., does not apply to Count I — Assault and Battery: thus, such claim is time barred.
23
+
24
+ Pursuant to the allegations on the face of Plaintiff's complaint, Count I, based on Florida's common law of assault and battery, and Count III, brought pursuant to 18
25
+
26
+ U.S.C. §2255, are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Plaintiff and Defendant are in agreement that a Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal on statute of limitations grounds is appropriate where "it is 'apparent from the face of the complaint' that the claim is time-barred." See generally, La Grasta v. First Union Securities. Inc. 358 F.3d 840, 845 -846 (1 1 th Cir. 2004).
27
+
28
+ However, contrary to Plaintiffs assertion in section I, p. 2, of her memorandum, based on the allegations of the Complaint, Plaintiff's claims alleged in Count I and III are time barred. Plaintiff now attempts to rely on the "discovery rule" in an effort to argue that the cause of action accrued at some later date; however, and significantly, there are no allegations in Count I that implicate application of the discovery rule which is codified in Florida Statute §95.11(7). Hearndon v. Graham, 767 So.2d 1179 (Fla. 2000). Hearndon dealt with the accrual of a cause of action where a plaintiff alleges that she suffered from traumatic amnesia caused by childhood sexual abuse. The Florida Supreme Court answered the following question in the affirmative:
29
+
30
+ Where a plaintiff in a tort action based on childhood sexual abuse alleges that she suffered from traumatic amnesia caused by the abuse, does the delayed discovery doctrine postpone accrual of the cause of action?
31
+
32
+ The Hearndon plaintiff filed her complaint in 1991 against her stepfather for injuries from alleged sexual abuse committed upon her beginning in 1968 when she was 8, and continuing until 1975 when she turned 15. She further alleged that she suffered from "'traumatic amnesia,' or a related syndrome [until approximately 1988], caused by the abuses allegedly perpetrated by [the defendant], thereby explaining why earlier commencement of the action had not been possible." Id, at 1181. The plaintiff
33
+
34
+ claimed the sexual abuse caused her to suppress or lose her memory for several years. The Supreme Court noted that in reaching its decision allowing the accrual of the action to be delayed, it was not passing on the merits of whether she actually lost and then retrieved her memory, or on the reliability of any of the psychological techniques used to bring back the memories of the abuse.
35
+
36
+ As noted in Hearndon the Florida Legislature codified the discovery rule in intentional abuse cases when it enacted §95.11(7), Fla.Statutes. §95.11(7) was found not to apply in Hearndon because the alleged sexual abuse occurred from 1968 to 1975, and the abuse was not recalled until 1988. The plaintiff filed her complaint in 1991. The statute became effective in 1992. See endnote 1 herein; Monhanan, 832 So.2d 708, 709-10 (Fla. 2002)(The Florida Legislature has imposed a delayed discovery rule in cases of professional malpractice, medical malpractice, and intentional torts based on abuse, there is no other statutory basis for application of the delayed discovery rule to delay the accrual of a cause of action). The discussion in Hearndon remains relevant as it explains how and when the statutory discovery rule applies, and its effect on the accrual of a cause of action.
37
+
38
+ The Hearndon decision should be read in conjunction with v. Monahan, 832 So.2d 708 (Fla. 2002). In the Florida Supreme Court made clear that the statutory codification of the delayed discovery rule only applies to those causes of actions enumerated in §95.11, Fla.Stat., and refused to extend the ruling in Hearndon to causes of action not based on the statutory enumerated exceptions or to causes of actions not based on allegations of childhood sexual abuse where a plaintiff has
39
+
40
+ traumatic amnesia or a repressed memory type condition. In refusing to broaden the ruling in Flearndon and apply the delayed discovery doctrine to claims for breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, civil conspiracy, and unjust enrichment, the Florida Supreme Court, supra at 712, stated:
41
+
42
+ While we applied the delayed discovery doctrine to causes of action arising out of childhood sexual abuse and repressed memory in Heamdon, we did so only after considering the unique and sinister nature of childhood sexual abuse, as well as the fact that the doctrine is applicable to similar cases where the tortious acts cause the delay in discovery. We also considered the Legislature's endorsement in amending section 95.11(7), Florida Statutes (1999), to include intentional torts based on abuse and the fact that the application of the doctrine among the states is both the majority rule and modern trend. In this case, there is no modern trend or statutory endorsement, and Monahan did not allege fraud, so there was no specific allegation that or MI actions caused Monahan's delayed discovery.
43
+
44
+ Plaintiff is correct that part of the analysis as to whether a particular claim is time barred involves an analysis as to when a particular cause of action has accrued. Under Florida law, a statute of limitations "runs from the time the cause of action accrues" which, in turn, is generally determined by the date "when the last element constituting the cause of action occurs." § 95.031, Fla. Stat.' See generally State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Lee, 678 So.2d 818, 821 (Fla.1996)("[A] cause of action cannot be said to have accrued, within the meaning of the statute of limitations, until an action may be brought."); and Florida Power & Light Co. v. Allis Chalmers Corp. 85 F.3d 1514,
45
+
46
+ <sup>1</sup> §95.031, Fla.Stat., provides in relevant part :
47
+
48
+ <sup>...</sup> the time within which an action shall be begun under any statute of limitations runs from the time the cause of action accrues.
49
+
50
+ <sup>(1)</sup> A cause of action accrues when the last element constituting the cause of action occurs.
51
+
52
+ rehearing denied (11th Cir. 1996)(Cause of action accrues for limitations purposes when last element constituting cause of action occurs and plaintiff knew or should have discovered injury). Further, and significantly, the fact that a plaintiff does not know the full extent of his or her injury and that the most substantial damages do not occur until later date does not postpone running of limitations periods. Id. See also Penthouse North Ass'n, Inc. v. Lombardi, 461 So.2d 1350, 1352 (Fla. 1984)("A statute of limitation does not commence to run until the cause of action accrues. A cause of action does not accrue until someone has been damaged by the acts complained of.").
53
+
54
+ As alleged in the Complaint, JANE DOE NO. 8 had one "encounter with Epstein" at his Palm Beach mansion "in or about 2001" when she was "then approximately 16 years old, fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims." Comp. ¶9, 13-14. She further alleges that at the time of the one encounter, she "was frightened and felt trapped," and "as a result of this encounter with Epstein, [she] experienced confusion, shame, humiliation and embarrassment, and has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries." Comp. ¶13-14. On the face of the Complaint, Plaintiff was aware that she was damaged at the time of the encounter complained.
55
+
56
+ Because Plaintiff was allegedly a minor at the time, under Florida law, Plaintiff could not have brought the action in her own right. Both Plaintiff and Defendant are in agreement that the legal disability based on one being a minor is generally removed once a person turns 18 years of age. (JD8 memorandum, fn. 2). Based on the allegations, it has been at least 8 years since Plaintiff "fell into Epstein's trap and
57
+
58
+ became one of his victims; and Plaintiff is now at least 24 years old; Plaintiff turned 18 at least 6 years ago, well pass the applicable 4 year statute of limitations.
59
+
60
+ Under Florida law, the statute of limitations for assault and battery is 4 years, §95.11(3)(o). See Defendant's Motion To Dismiss Complaint, dated July 14, 2009, [DE 8), for discussion as to why §95.11(7), Fla. Stat., does not apply to Plaintiff's Count I for "sexual assault and battery." See endnote 1 hereto for statutory text of subsection (7), including statutes referenced therein.'
61
+
62
+ In her memorandum, Plaintiff attempts to rely on the statutory definition of "abuse" as set forth in §39.01(2), Fla. Stat., and claims that she has "until 7 years after she reaches the age of majority to bring suit (i.e. until she is 25 years old), or within 4 years from the time she discovers both the injury and the causal relationship between the injury and abuse, whichever occurs later." As noted above, there are no allegations of repressed memory or similar type traumatic amnesia. In fact, the allegations reveal that after the alleged one encounter, Plaintiff knew immediately that she suffered damage in or about 2001, when she was 16. She could have brought the action in 2003 in her own right when she turned 18. She is now at least 24 years old.
63
+
64
+ A review of the Count I allegations establish that Plaintiff is attempting to assert a claim for Florida's common law assault and battery to which a 4 year statute of limitation applies. See Defendant's motion to dismiss. As noted in fn. 1 of her memorandum, Defendant is not seeking dismissal of Count II as in ¶24, Plaintiff tracks the language of §39.01(2), Fla. Stat., pertaining to "abuse."
65
+
66
+ If this Court were to agree with Plaintiff's position that she has adequately pled a claim based on sex abuse in Count I, (which she has not), then either Count I or Count II — Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress is required to be dismissed as neither is "a free-standing tort" because both counts reallege the same underlying facts and damages. See Tobin v. Damian, 772 So.2d 13, fn. 1 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000). In discussing plaintiff's claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress the Court determined that it was "not a free-standing tort" because it "realleges the same facts mentioned in appellant's sexual abuse claims and fails to provide any additional facts." Citing to Fridovich v. Fridovich, 598 So.2d 65, 69-70 (Fla. 1992)(holding that no separate cause of action for intentional infliction of emotional distress existed where plaintiff merely renamed the initial cause of action and repled the same facts).
67
+
68
+ Accordingly, Count I is required to be dismissed as the applicable statute of limitations has expired. In the alternative, either Count I or Count II is required to be dismissed as they are duplicative claims as opposed to free-standing torts.
69
+
70
+ # III. The Complaint on its face shows that Count Ill is time barred.
71
+
72
+ Count III is brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255, which contains its own statute of limitations in subsection (b). The language of §2255(b) is clear and unambiguous — "Any action commenced under this section shall be barred unless the complaint is filed within six years after the right of action first accrues or in the case of a person under a legal disability, not later than three years after the disability.n2 Plaintiff now attempts to
73
+
74
+ <sup>2</sup> "The primary principle of statutory construction requires courts to give effect to the plain meaning of the words used "in their ordinary and usual sense." Caminetti v. U.S., 242 U.S. 470 (1917). To the extent possible, the rules of statutory construction require courts to give meaning
75
+
76
+ argue that the delayed discovery doctrine applies although there are no allegations in the Complaint which implicate its application.
77
+
78
+ The "delayed discovery" doctrine generally provides that a cause of action does not accrue until the plaintiff either knows or reasonably should know of the tortious act giving rise to the cause of action. The United States Supreme Court applied the "blameless ignorance" doctrine in Urie v. Thompson 337 U.S. 163, 170, 69 S.Ct. 1018, 93 L.Ed. 1282 (1949), thereby delaying the accrual of a cause of action until the plaintiff reasonably discovered the right of action, reasoning that "the traditional purposes of statutes of limitations ... require the assertion of claims within a specified period of time after notice of the invasion of legal rights." Id.
79
+
80
+ Again, the Complaint allegations are clear that Plaintiff was aware that she was an alleged "victim" as a result of the alleged one encounter with EPSTEIN in 2001, and that she allegedly suffered damages therefrom. By her own allegations she felt "frightened and trapped" at the time. There are no allegations of repressed memory or traumatic amnesia or other allegations which would delay the accrual of the cause of action. Based on the allegations of the Complaint, Plaintiff turned 18 in 2003 and, thus, she was no longer under the legal disability of being a minor. Approximately 8 years have passed since the alleged one time encounter - well pass the 6 year statute of
81
+
82
+ to every word and clause in a statute. U.S. v. Menasche, 348 U.S. 528, 538-39 (1955). TRW Inc. v. Andrews 534 U.S. 19, 31 (2001). Additionally, courts must reject statutory interpretations that would render portions of a statute surplusage. TRW, 534 at 31." Brotherhood of Loc. Engineers and Trainmen Gen. Comm. v. CSX Transp., Inc., 522 F.3d 1190, 1194 -1195 (11th Cir. 2008).
83
+
84
+ limitations; and approximately 6 years have passed since the legal disability of being a minor was removed – well passed the 3 year period.
85
+
86
+ WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court dismiss Counts I and III of Plaintiff's Complaint with prejudice. In the alternative, Defendant requests that this Court dismiss either Count I or II with prejudice, along with Count III with prejudice.

+ 1 §95.11(7), Fla. Stat. -
130
+
131
+ (7) For intentional torts based on abuse.—An action founded on alleged abuse, as defined in s. 39.01, s. 415.102, or s. 984.03, or incest, as defined in s. 826.04, may be commenced at any time within 7 years after the age of majority, or within 4 years after the injured person leaves the dependency of the abuser, or within 4 years from the time of discovery by the injured party of both the injury and the causal relationship between the injury and the abuse, whichever occurs later.
132
+
133
+ §39.01(2), Fla. Stat. (2001) —
134
+
135
+ (2) "Abuse" means any willful act or threatened act that results in any physical, mental, or sexual injury or harm that causes or is likely to cause the child's physical, mental, or emotional health to be significantly impaired. Abuse of a child includes acts or omissions. Corporal discipline of a child by a parent or legal custodian for disciplinary purposes does not in itself constitute abuse when it does not result in harm to the child.
136
+
137
+ §415.102(1), Fla. Stat. (2001) -
138
+
139

140
+
141
+ §984.03 (2), Fla. Stat. (2001) —
142
+
143
+ "Abuse" means any willful act that results in any physical, mental, or sexual injury that causes or is likely to cause the child's physical, mental, or emotional health to be significantly impaired. Corporal discipline of a child by a parent or guardian for disciplinary purposes does not in itself constitute abuse when it does not result in harm to the child as defined in s. 39.01.

+ ### THIRD PARTY WITNESS, IGOR ZINOVIEW'S, MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER AND INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM OF LAW
20
+
21
+ Third Party Witness, Igor Zinoview's, ("Mr. Zinoview") by and through his undersigned attorney, moves this Court pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c) for a protective order regarding his deposition and as grounds therefore would state:
22
+
23
+ 1. As reflected on the affidavit of Igor Zinoview, attached as Exhibit A, he works for Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein ("Mr. Epstein") as a driver and bodyguard. He did not know Mr. Epstein before November of 2005. He first became employed by Mr. Epstein in November of 2005.
24
+
25
+ 2. Additionally, Mr. Zinoview would testify as set forth on his affidavit, that at no time has he discussed with Mr. Epstein any issues involving Mr. Epstein's criminal case nor any of the cases or issues involved with civil plaintiffs.
26
+
27
+ 3. In many of the depositions, counsel for L.M. and E.W., has asked them as witnesses to assume certain facts about which they have no knowledge, and he then asks their opinions about certain facts. See Exhibit B -Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions.
28
+
29
+ 4. There is no information which Mr. Zinoview has relating to the facts and circumstances surrounding any of the pending civil cases, in that none of their allegations directed to Mr. Epstein extend beyond September of 2005. Therefore whatever information Mr. Zinoview may have, postdates that time.
30
+
31
+ 5. Regarding the scope of discovery, Judge Linnea noted in her October 28, 2009 Omnibus Order (DE #377), "[w]hile the scope of discovery is broad, it is not without limits. Washington v. & Williamson Tobacco 959 F.2d 1566, 1570 (11th Cir. 1992). ... Courts have long held that `[w]hile the standard of relevancy [in discovery] is a liberal one, it is not so liberal as to allow a party to roam in the shadow zones of relevancy and to explore matter (sic) which does not presently appear germane on the theory that it might conceivably become so.' Food Lion Inc. v. United Food & Commercial Workers Intern. Union, 103 F.3d 1007, 1012-13 (CA. D.C. 1997) (string cite omitted)."
32
+
33
+ 6. Rule 26(c), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, provides that, "[a] party or any person from whomn discovery is sought may move for a protective order in the court where the action is pending.... The court may, for good cause, issue an order to protect a party or person from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense, including one or more of the following: (A) forbidding the disclosure or discovery;"
34
+
35
+ 7. As set forth in his affidavit, Mr. Zinoview cannot possibly have any knowledge or information that is presently germane to this action. Accordingly, the Court should enter a protective order prohibiting his deposition.
36
+
37
+ WHEREFORE, third-party witness moves this court for a protective order pursuant to Rule 26(c), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, that his deposition not take place or the questioning be limited.

178
+ ## EPSTEIN'S MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER TO PROHIBIT INAPPROPRIATE DEPOSITION QUESTIONS
179
+
180
+ Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN ("Epstein"), pursuant to Rule 1.280(c), Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, moves for a protective order to prohibit argumentative, harassing and inappropriate questions in depositions, and states:
181
+
182
+ 1. At numerous depositions, Plaintiffs counsel has repeatedly asked argumentative and harassing questions that are irrelevant and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
183
+
184
+ 2. In particular, Plaintiffs counsel has asked questions that improperly sought to illicit lay opinions from fact witnesses, asked questions regarding witnesses' feelings towards Mr. Epstein and their beliefs regarding media reports of this case, asked whether they would leave their children with Mr. Epstein and asked whether they would go back to work for Mr. Epstein assuming the media reports were accurate, among other things. These questions and the responses thereto will never be admissible. They are argumentative, irrelevant and seek speculative answers and inadmissible lay opinions.

189
+
190
+ 3. For example, in the deposition of Larry Visoski, one of Mr. Epstein's pilots, Plaintiffs counsel asked the following questions seeking to obtain Mr. Visoski's beliefs and opinions on Plaintiffs allegations:
191
+
192
+ > Q. All right. When you read in the newspapers the allegations that Mr. Epstein was involved with numerous underage girls for sexual reasons, were you surprised?
193
+
194
+ A. I didn't believe it.
195
+
196
+ Q. Do you believe it today?
197
+
198
+ A. I don't believe it.
199
+
200
+ Q. You don't believe that Jeffrey Epstein was involved with underage girls in a sexual way?
201
+
202
+ MR. CRITTON: Form.
203
+
204
+ THE WITNESS: You're asking for my opinion, and I don't think my opinion is relevant in that matter.
205
+
206
+ BY MR.
207
+
208
+ Q. I think it's relevant. Can you just tell me whether today you believe that Jeffrey Epstein has engaged in sex with underage girls?
209
+
210
+ MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation, irrelevant, always.
211
+
212
+ THE WITNESS: It's irrelevant.
213
+
214
+ BY MR.
215
+
216
+ Q. I need an answer.
217
+
218
+ A. I don't believe he had sex with underage women.
219
+
220
+ Q. Or engaged in any sexual acts with underage women?
221
+
222
+ MR. CRITTON: Form.

225
+
226
+ THE WITNESS: No.
227
+
228
+ BY MR.
229
+
230
+ Q. You think that this is just a story that a bunch of underage women have made up?
231
+
232
+ A. Speculation.
233
+
234
+ • \* \* \*
235
+
236
+ Q. Then we'll handle the question this way: If you were to believe based on information and evidence that Mr. Epstein engaged in sex or some form of sex acts with people of the age range of 12, 13, 14, 15 years old, would you continue your employment with Mr. Epstein?
237
+
238
+ MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation.
239
+
240
+ THE WITNESS: I would certainly be speculating and I have to discuss it with my wife long and hard. I don't think I could give you a correct and honest answer at this time.
241
+
242
+ See Excerpts of Deposition of Larry Visokski at 66-67; 181-82 (attached as composite Exhibit A). Other examples of similar improper questions are included in Exhibit A.
243
+
244
+ 4. Not only do these questions seek improper lay opinions, Plaintiffs counsel asked Mr. Visoski his belief as to the truth of hearsay newspaper articles. The foregoing questions are obviously irrelevant, argumentative and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
245
+
246
+ 5. Moreover, whether Mr. Visoski would continue working for Mr. Epstein if Plaintiff's allegations are true has absolutely no relevance to any claim or defense in this case. The questions are simply improper and meant to harass and embarrass the <sup>v</sup>Fostein

255
+
256
+ 6. Mr. Visoski was questioned for over four hours and much of the time was wasted on irrelevant and harassing questions.
257
+
258
+ 7. Plaintiff's counsel asked similar questions at the deposition of Larry Eugene a, another one of Mr. Epstein's pilots:
259
+
260
+ > Q. Certainly you've read certain newspaper articles about the allegations, police reports, otherwise, the allegations that occurred or have been alleged to have occurred at his Palm Beach mansion, correct?
261
+
262
+ A. Uh-huh.
263
+
264
+ Q. Correct?
265
+
266
+ A. Correct.
267
+
268
+ Q. Given the nature of those allegations, would you leave your daughter of 17, 16, 15 years old with Mr. Epstein alone?

+
270
+ MR. PIKE: Form. Move to strike.
271
+
272
+ A. Yes.
273
+
274
+ Q. And despite pleading guilty to procuring underage girls for the purposes of sex, you still feel comfortable leaving <sup>a</sup> 13, 14, 15-year-old girl around him?
275
+
276
+ MR. PIKE: Form. Move to strike.
277
+
278
+ A. Yes. I mean, with my daughter, yes. I don't know how he behaves around anybody else. I just know that the respect that he showed me, I feel safe with my daughter.
279
+
280
+ Q. And have you read in detail the reports as to what happened at his house with the girls?

295
+
296
+ Q. If you read and hear testimony given - well, I can tell you now - testimony has been given in this case that what happens is: A 13 or 14 year old is led upstairs by herself, told to get naked, he lays down on his back, there is a brief massage before he turns over, exposes himself erect, masturbates while he tells this 13 or 14 year old to pinch his nipples as hard as she can while he inserts his fingers into their vagina and ejaculates all over them before saying, "Take your money and leave."

+
302
+ Q. Okay? Then, "You can continue to come back for \$200 every time or every girl you bring me within your age group and I get to do this again, I pay you \$200 per person." If that is the testimony --
303
+
304
+ MR. PIKE: Form.
305
+
306
+ Q. — that what happens behind closed doors with him, do you still feel comfortable leaving a13 or 14 year old in <sup>a</sup> room with Jeffrey Epstein?
307
+
308
+ MR. PIKE: Form.
309
+
310
+ A. If that, in fact, is what actually happened, no.
311
+
312
+ Q. [Would you] go back - considering what you've read and what you may or may not believe - would you go back to working for Jeffrey Epstein?

328
+ See Excerpts of Deposition of Larry Eugene at 135-36; 175-76; <sup>184</sup> (attached as composite Exhibit B).
329
+
330
+ 8. Again, whether Mr. would work for Mr. Epstein "considering what [he has] read and what [he] may or may not believe" (i.e. considering hearsay media accounts and inadmissible lay opinion) has no bearing on the instant case.
331
+
332
+ 9. In addition, questions regarding whether Mr. would leave his children alone with Mr. Epstein could have only been meant to harass and embarrass Mr. Nevertheless, Mr. testified that he would leave his children with Mr. Epstein. As Plaintiffs counsel was obviously not happy with the answer to this question, he proceeded to press Mr. with inflammatory statements until he got the answer he wanted.
333
+
334
+ 10. Plaintiffs counsel has also asked the same improper line of questions in other witnesses' depositions.
335
+
336
+ 11. The above-cited questions exceed the bounds of permissible discovery; they have absolutely no relevance to this case. Accordingly, the Court should enter <sup>a</sup> protective order prohibiting such questions and should sanction Plaintiffs counsel if such inappropriate questions are asked at future depositions.
337
+
338
+ 12. Regarding the scope of discovery, Judge Linnea noted in her October 28, 2009 Omnibus Order,' "[w]hile the scope of discovery is broad, it is not
339
+
340
+ <sup>1</sup> The Omnibus Order (DE #377) was entered in the federal companion case Jane Doe No. 2 v, Epstein Case No. 08-CIV-80119 MARRS! In the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida.

344
+ without limits. Washington v. OM& Williamson Tobacco, <sup>959</sup>F.2d 1566, 1570 (11th Cir. 1992). ... Courts have long held that '[w]hile the standard of relevancy [in discovery] is a liberal one, it is not so liberal as to allow a party to roam in the shadow zones of relevancy and to explore matter (sic) which does not presently appear germane on the theory that it might conceivably become so.' Food Lion. Inc. V. United Food & Commercial Workers Intern. Union, <sup>103</sup>F.3d 1007, 1012-13 (C.A. D.C. 1997) (string cite omitted)." See also Capco Properties, LLC v. Monterry Gardens of Pinecrest Condo. <sup>982</sup>So. 2d 1211, (Fla. 3d DCA 2008) (holding that discovery in civil cases must be relevant to the subject matter of the case and must be admissible or reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence) Morton Plant Hospital Ass'n, Inc. v. Shahbas, <sup>960</sup>So. 2d 820, 824 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007) (holding that "discovery should be denied when it has been established that the information requested is neither relevant to any pending claim or defense nor will it lead to the discovery of admissible evidence," citing Tanchel v. Shoemaker, <sup>928</sup>So. 2d 440, 442 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006)).
345
+
346
+ 13. As illustrated above, the questions are simply not germane to any pending claim or defense nor will they lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Whether Mr. Visoski believes or disbelieves the media accounts of this case, or whether Mr. would leave his children with Mr. Epstein is not relevant and cannot conceivably lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
347
+
348
+ 14. The Court should curtail these inappropriate lines of questions and enter <sup>a</sup> protective order prohibiting them.
349
+
350
+ 15. Rule 1.280(c), Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, provides the Court with

361
+
362
+ 16. Accordingly, Epstein requests the Court enter a protective order prohibiting Plaintiffs counsel from asking witnesses' questions regarding opinions and beliefs regarding media articles and the allegations in this case and whether they would leave their children with Epstein or questions of a similar nature, and limiting the scope to the witnesses personal knowledge regarding matters relevant to the claims and defenses in this case. See Shahbas, 960 So. 2d at 824.

511
+
512
+ 19 always.

527

528

529
+
530

531
+
532
+ 4 MR. CRITTON: Form.
533
+
534
+ 5 MR. REINHART: I'm going to Instruct him not 6 to answer. Move on.
535
+
536
+ 7 MR.-: Is there a privilege that we're asserting?
537
+
538
+ 9 MR. REINHART: No, It's irrelevant. It's 10 harassment and not likely to lead to discoverable 11 evidence.
539
+
540
+ 12 Ma' . I'm going to-put on the record
541
+
542
+ 13 right now that it is — we we allowed discovery 14 into a RICO count. We are also allowed discovery
543
+
544
+ 15 Into the intent of Mr. Epstein In developing a 16 criminal enterprise designed to sexually exploit
545
+
546
+ 17 and sexually abuse underage girls. We believe that 18 in doing so, he associated Intentionally with
547
+
548
+ 19 people of similar beliefs that sex with underage 20 girls is okay, and that there have been many
549
+
550
+ 21 discussions with this witness, as well as many 22 other witnesses with -- to Insure his protection
551
+
552
+ 23 from law enforcement that they not answer these
553
+
554
+ 24 specific questions. And thus, the opinions and 25 beliefs of all of these witnesses that we are
555
+
556
+ alleging associated with this criminal enterprise are certainly reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. And If you're still Instructing the witness, based on that proffer, not to answer any of these questions, I'm going to continue to ask the questions and you can instruct him not to answer and we can go to the a Court. MR. REINHART: My response is to his opinion whether people making allegations in this case are colluding or making up <sup>a</sup>story is irrelevant to what you just said. So i am going to instruct him not to answer any question that goes to his opinion of someone else's motivation or the truth of facts to which he has no knowledge. So yes, I'm instructing him not to answer, MR. CRInON: Let me add in my pad, Is that <sup>I</sup> think — you're certainly not oNy capable to ask questions with regard to what his persona<sup>l</sup> knowledge is, and if he knows something or he has reasonable basis for it; certainly you are entitled to that information. I think yotNe asked those questions and he's given you straightforward answers as to what he knew or what he didn't know under those circumstances. And as to what his
557
+
558
+ a A. It's an opinion. and I believe that he has not. Q. Okay. Isn't It true that at some point In time you learned that Jeffrey Epstein has — strike that. MR. CRITTON: When you &0rnately get to <sup>a</sup> good place to break, will you let us knees'? MR.-: Let's break now. (A break was had at 11:28 a.m.) BY MR. =M. Q. Pg right. Eighteen years of being a pilot for Jeffrey Epstein and In terms of being able to name somebody that you'sould say you've observed with Jeffrey Epstein and woted classify that person as Jeffrey Epstein's friend, can you name anybody? A Nadia, Sarah; Just people that we see routinely on the airplane. O. Thats people you see routinely In the last five to ten years, right? A Yes. Q. Prior to that time, anybody that you've noticed as Jeffrey Epstein's friend may be Ghislaina Maxwell? A. What time frame? O. Is that a person Nat at some point in time
559
+
560
+ thoughts are on something which he has no factual basis or even an assumption to know one way or another is Irrelevant. That's ultimately for <sup>a</sup> fact-finder in this case <sup>S</sup>While it's interesting, it's argumentative and I don't think he's — I mean, do It on <sup>a</sup> question-by-question basis. If he has knowledge, that's great, but to argue your case with this witness or any other witness doesn't serve <sup>a</sup> purpose and I think is, you know — I think Ws not a good use of our time, r6 put it that way. But you know, you can go ahead and ask. MR. I can ask the question and if the witness is being instructed not to answer, we'll let a judge decide whether he needs to answer the question and whether it's discoverable or not. MR. REINHART: Absolutely. Make your record. BY MR. O. Do you have any reason to believe that Jeffrey Epstein engaged in sexual activity wilh underage women? A. I have no reason to believe. Q. Okay. So as you sit here today, based on your 18 years of knowledge, experience and observation of Jeffrey Epstein, is 4 your belef that he has not had sex or engaged in sexual activity villh underage women?
561
+
562
+ you woild classify as Jeffrey Epstein's friend? A. I would classify it. I donl know If Ira true. O. But hats only because they were on the airplane together? A. Yes. O. Do you know what Jeffrey Epstein does for <sup>a</sup> Wing in your 18 years of observing and talking wth Jeffrey Epstein? A. No. O. No idea? A. No. Q. Ever asked him? A. No, actually. O. Ever been curious? A, Sure. O. Ever:rione anything to satisfy that curiosity? A. If you mean Googie It, not really, actually. I mean. I really have not. zo Q. Okay. So in 18 years of traveling and being the plol and driving and taking this person, Jeffrey Epstein, from one property In New York to New Mexico and Florida and around the world, you have no idea what he does in terms of how he makes money? A. No, sir.

+ MR. CRITTON: Form.
567

568
+
569
+ BY MR. [REDACTED]
570
+ Q. If you had been aware that Mr. Epstein was --
571
+ and by this -- this is more in the form of a
572
+ hypothetical, and that I'm not going to suggest to you
573
+ it's a fact that he was. But if you had been aware that
574
+ every single day Jeffrey Epstein's goal was to locate
575
+ underage girls for the purposes of sex, and either have
576
+ sex with them on the airplane or at some other
577
+ designation that you were destination that you were
578
+ traveling him to, would you have continued to pilot
579
+ those planes?
580
+
581
+ MR. CRITTON: Form.
582
+ THE WITNESS: You said it was hypothetical?
583
+
584
+ BY MR. [REDACTED]
585
+ Q. Right, it is a hypothetical.
586
+ A. Why would I want to answer that? Because
587
+ you're being hypothetical. I mean, it would obviously
588
+ be wrong.
589
+
590
+ Q. Sure. Well, a hypothetical question is a
591
+ legal question that I'm allowed to ask.
592
+
593
+ A. Okay. Q. And I'm Just asking you if you did have knovAedge that Jeffrey Epstein was having sex with little gkls either on the plane or at a place that you were taking him to or from on <sup>a</sup>daily basis, that's what he did, would you have continued to be his phi? • MR. CRITTON: Lel me object. Object to the form. Ins argumentative. It has no more value than assuming he was chopping up bodies or anybody was chopping up bodies in the plane you're eyorig. What difference does It make? Form, MR. Me Met difference does II make In a case about him having sex with little girls? I'm not going to argue with you about it. You've staled your objection. MR. CRITTON: Exactly. It's an argumentative question. MR. MIR l90 not going to argue with you about il. MR. CRITTON: You're arguing with him about now. MR. No, I'm asking him the hypothetical. BY Q. Can you answer that? Would you have continue'
594
+
595
+ to be a pilot for somebody who's traveling to and from destinations with the goal of having sex with underage girls? MR. CRITTON: Fenn. THE WITNESS: It could be any person. It doesn't have to be Jeffrey Epstein, then, right? BY PAR. Min O. True. A. No, I wouldn't pilot an airplane It there was wrongdoing going on. Q. That you knew about? A. That I knew you about, sure. Q. Me reading this complaint to you, is this the first time you've heard these allegations — A. Yes. Q. — against Mr. Epstein? A. Yes.
596

597
+ N.
598
+
599
+ ,
600
+
601
+ which he pled guilty le — MR. CRITTON: Form. MR. FtEINHART: Can we — for purposes of your <sup>o</sup>hypothetical, what facia do you want him to assume are true? You said the facts to which he pled guilty, but the witness already said he doesn't know what he pled guilty to. He knows the charge he doesn't know the facts. BY MR. Q. Serrchallon of prostitution of a miner; somebody under the age of 18. MR. That's the charge, right, sNIcitallon of prostitution of a minor? MR. CRITTON: No. I think you've got It wrong. Ill object to the form. Mal Okay. BY MR. Is Q, Then we'll handle the question this war If you were to believe based on information and evidence that Mr. Epstein engaged in sex or some form of sex eel with people of the age range of 12, 13, 14,15 years old, would you continue your employment with NV. Epstein? MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation. THE WITNESS'. I would certainty be speculating
602
+
603
+ 182.
604
+
605
+ and I have to discuss it with my wife long and • hard. I don't think I could give you a correct and honest answer at this time. BY MR. O. OMthe allegations that have been made in this case, Is this something that you have disaissed with anyone other than your attorney? a A. No, not really. Only from the fact that they're allegations and there's slid a lot more work, I'm sure, to be discovered. MR. CRITTON: Let me put on there, for the -- if this deposition Is not typed — and we request It — I'd like at least this portion where Mr. last question back about five pages Worth. SO Just if you could mark it from <sup>21171</sup> page back about five pages. If nobody requests the deposakm, rd just like those five pages. MR. I'm going to request the deposIllon, so... MR.

+ ## REPLY TO ROTHSTEIN ROSENFELDT ADLER'S P.A.'S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S EMERGENCY MOTION FOR ORDER FOR THE PRESERVATION OF EVIDENCE (DE 4051 SAS TO JANE DOE v. EPSTEIN CASE NO.: 08-CIV- 80893)
18
+
19
+ Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein"), by and through his undersigned attorneys, hereby files his Reply to Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler P.A.'s ("RRA") Response to Defendant's Emergency Motion for Order for the Preservation of Evidence [DE 405], and states:
20
+
21
+ 1. It now appears that the Honorable Herbert Stettin ("Mr. Stettin") is the sole individual, as the Chief Restructuring Officer, in charge of RRA assets, including electronic and paper records. There also appears to be no objection to the entry of the preservation order consistent with his fiduciary/trustee duties for RRA, although certain documents may no longer exist within his possession.
22
+
23
+ 2. Par. 4 of the response reflects that some 40 plus boxes of documents were obtained by the Department of Justice from search warrants served on the offices of RRA; "it is believed that the Department of Justice also sequestered about (13) boxes of documents related to this [Epstein] case." In fact there are three Epstein cases which have been brought by the RRA firm, one being in federal court, two in state court. Mr. Stettin confirms Defendant's belief that there are serious ethical and potentially criminal issues that may impact Plaintiffs' ability to pursue their cases.
24
+
25
+ 3. Unfortunately, time is critical with regard to this case in that there are deadlines to Disclose Experts and Exchange Reports by October 29, 2009 (but Plaintiff has not seen her expert, has no report and only made herself available for the Defendant's exam on November 13, 2009), deposition discovery deadline is November 28, 2009 and a calendar call of February 19, 2010 for the February 22, 2010 trial docket. While the undersigned understands that Mr. Stettin may be working expeditiously to deal with critical and pressing needs of stabilizing the firm, a delay of 45 days for his deposition (which has been set in the state court case in the 15t11 Judicial Circuit Court, Palm Beach County, State of Florida, L.M. v. Epstein, Case No. 502008CA028051XXXXMB AB, not the case sub-judice) will place his deposition sometime during the first 15 days of January, after every pre-trial deadline has expired.
26
+
27
+ 4. If in fact there has been inappropriate and/or illegal conduct associated with the prosecution of this case by RRA or any of its attorneys or by the Plaintff herself, which might result in sanctions, dismissal or other remedy, Defendant Epstein will be severely prejudiced.
28
+
29
+ WHEREFORE, Defendant Epstein request that the court's preservation order be made permanent, which does not seem inconsistent with Mr. Stettin's position as expressed by his lawyers but deny the relief sought for delaying the deposition unless the court is disposed to modify the current scheduling deadlines and trial date that exist in this case.

11
+ ## OPINION AND ORDER ON MOTION TO DISMISS
12
+
13
+ THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon Defendant Jeffrey Epstein's ("Defendant") Motion to Dismiss (DE 8). Plaintiff Jane Doe No. 8 ("Plaintiff') filed a response to the motion (DE 13) and Defendant filed a Reply (DE 15). The Court has carefully reviewed the motion, response, and reply, and is otherwise fully advised in the premises.
14
+
15
+ #### Background
16
+
17
+ On May 28, 2009, Plaintiff filed her Complaint against Defendant (DE 1). Plaintiff brings suit alleging Count I - Sexual Assault and Battery; Count II - Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress; and Count III - Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422.
18
+
19
+ The facts, as alleged in the Complaint, are as follows: Defendant, an adult male, has a sexual preference and obsession for underage minor girls. Compl. ¶¶ 8, 9. Defendant engaged in a plan and scheme in which he gained access to primarily economically disadvantaged minor girls in his home, sexually assaulted these girls, and then gave them money. Compl. ¶ 9. In or about 2001, Plaintiff, then approximately 16 years old, became one of Defendant's victims. Comp11 9.
20
+
21
+ Defendant's scheme involved the use of young girls to recruit underage, ostensibly to give a wealthy man a massage for monetary compensation in his Palm Beach mansion. Comp1.1 II. The underage victim would be brought or directed to Defendant's mansion, where she would be led up a flight of stairs to a room that contained a massage table in addition to other furnishings. Id. The girl would then find herself alone in the room with Defendant, who would be wearing only a towel. Id. Defendant would then remove his towel and lie naked on the massage table, and then direct the girl to remove her clothes. Id. Defendant would then perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts. Id.
22
+
23
+ Consistent with the foregoing plan and scheme, Plaintiff was recruited by another girl, who told her that she could make some money, but did not tell her what was involved. Compl. 13. Plaintiff was picked up and brought to Defendant's mansion in Palm Beach. Id. Once there, she was led up a flight of stairs to the room with the massage table. Id. Defendant came into the room and directed Plaintiff to remove her clothes and give him a massage. Id. Plaintiff was frightened and felt trapped. Id. During the massage, Defendant touched Plaintiff's breasts and vagina, and grabbed her hand and placed it on his penis. Id. Defendant masturbated himself during the massage. Id. Defendant then left money for Plaintiff. Id. As a result of this encounter with Defendant, Plaintiff experienced confusion, shame, humiliation, and embarrassment, and has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries. Compl. ¶ 14.
24
+
25
+ Under Count I - Sexual Assault and Battery, the Complaint alleges as follows: Defendant made an intentional, unlawful offer of offensive sexual contact toward Plaintiff, creating a reasonable fear of imminent peril and sexual assault. Compl. ¶ 16. Defendant intentionally inflicted harmful or offensive contact on the person of Plaintiff Compl. ¶ 17. Defendant tortiously committed a sexual assault and battery on Plaintiff. Compl. ¶ 18. Defendant's acts were intentional, unlawful, offensive and harmful. Id. Defendant's plan and scheme in which he committed such acts upon Plaintiff were done willfully and maliciously. Compl. ¶ 19. Plaintiff has suffered and will continue to suffer severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages and loss of enjoyment of life. Compl. 20.
26
+
27
+ Under Count III, Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422, the Complaint alleges as follows: Defendant used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce or entice Plaintiff, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense. Compl. ¶ 28. On June 30, 2008, Defendant entered a plea of guilty to violations of Florida §§ 796,07 and 796.03 in the 15ih Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County (Case nos. 2008-cf-009381AXXXMB and 2006-cf-009454AXXXMB), for conduct involving the same plan and scheme as alleged herein. Comp. ¶ 29. As to Plaintiff, Defendant could have been charged with criminal violations of Florida Statute § 796.07(2) (including subsections (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), and (h) thereof), and other criminal offenses including violations of Florida Statutes §§ 798.02 and 800.04 (including subsections (5), (6), and (7) thereof). Comp. ¶ 30. As a result of Defendant's violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422, Plaintiff has suffered personal injury, including mental, psychological and emotional damages. Compl. ¶ 31.
28
+
29
+ Defendant argues in his motion to dismiss that Counts I and 10 of the Complaint must be dismissed as time-barred by the applicable statutes of limitations on the face of the Complaint.' Plaintiff responds that the Court should deny the motion because it is not apparent from the Complaint that Plaintiff's claims are time-barred because the Complaint does not allege the date on which her claims accrued. Additionally, Plaintiff argues that Count I is not time-barred because Plaintiff had until seven years after she reached the age of majority to file her claim.

31
+ # Standard of Review
32
+
33
+ In deciding a motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), a court must accept all factual allegations in a complaint as true and take them in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. See Erickson v. Pardus, 127 S.Ct. 2197, 2200 (2007). To satisfy the pleading requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8, a complaint must contain a short and plain statement showing an entitlement to relief, and the statement must "give the defendant fair notice of what the plaintiffs claim is and the grounds upon which it rests." Swierkiewicz v. Sorema N.A., 534 U.S. 506, 512 (2002) (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 8); see also Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1964 (2007); Dura Pharm., Inc. v. Broudo 544 U.S. 336, 346 (2005). This is a liberal pleading requirement, one that does not require a plaintiff to plead with particularity every element of a cause of action. Roe v. Aware Woman Ctr. for Choice, Inc., 253 F.3d 678, 683 (I I th Cir. 2001). Instead, the complaint need only "contain either direct or inferential allegations respecting all the material elements necessary to sustain a recovery under some viable legal theory." Id. (internal citation and quotation omitted). "A complaint need not
34
+
35
+ <sup>&#</sup>x27; Defendant's Motion does not move for dismissal of Count II.
36
+
37
+ specify in detail the precise theory giving rise to recovery. All that is required is that the defendant be on notice as to the claim being asserted against him and the grounds on which it rests." v. United Food and Comm'! Workers Intl Union, 866 F.2d 1380, 1384 (11th Cir. 1989).
38
+
39
+ "While a complaint attacked by a Rule 12(bX6) motion to dismiss does not need detailed factual allegations, [ ] a plaintiffs obligation to provide the 'grounds' of his 'entitlement to relief requires more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do." Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. at 1964-65 (citations omitted). "Factual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level on the assumption that all of the complaint's allegations arc true." Id. at 1965. Plaintiff must plead enough facts to state a plausible basis for the claim. Id.
40

41
+ # Discussion
42
+
43
+ Count I alleges a claim for sexual assault and battery. Defendant asserts that Count I should be dismissed because a four-year statute of limitations applies to that claim, and it is apparent from the face of the Complaint that Plaintiff filed her claim past this limitations period.
44
+
45
+ A statute of limitations bar is "an affirmative defense, and ... plaintiff's] [are] not required to negate an affirmative defense in [their] complaint." LaGrasta v. First Union Securities, Inc., 358 F.3d 840, 845 (11th Cir. 2004) (AS Tregenza v. Great American Communications Co., 12 F.3d 717, 718 (7th Cir. 1993)). A Rule 12(bX6) dismissal on statute of limitations grounds is appropriate only if it is "apparent from the face of the complaint" that the claim is time-barred. Id.; Omar v. Lindsey, 334 F.3d 1246, 1251 (I 1th Cir. 2003); Carmichael v.
46
+
47
+ Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp. 291 F.3d 1278, 1279 (1 I th Cir. 2002).
48
+
49
+ Defendant argues that, pursuant to Florida law, the statute of limitations for assault and battery is four years. Defendant relies upon Fla. Stat. § 95.11(3Xo), which provides:
50
+
51
+ Actions other than for recovery of real property shall be commenced as follows:
52
+
53
+ - (3) Within four years.--
54
+ - (o) An action for assault, battery, false arrest, malicious prosecution, malicious interference, false imprisonment, or any other intentional tort, except as provided in subsections (4), (5), and (7).
55
+
56
+ Defendant asserts that, based upon the allegations in the Complaint', it was approximately eight (8) years between the alleged conduct by Defendant and the filing of the Complaint. Thus, Defendant argues, on the face of the Complaint, the four year statute of limitations has expired and, accordingly, Court I should be dismissed as time-barred.
57
+
58
+ In response, Plaintiff argues that Defendant is relying on the wrong limitations period. Section 95.1 l(3Xo), upon which Defendant relies, provides as follows: "An action for assault, battery, false arrest, malicious prosecution, malicious interference, false imprisonment, or any other intentional tort, except as provided in subsections (4), (5), and (7)." (emphasis added). Thus, Section 95.143Xo) is not applicable to causes of action falling within the purview of § 95.11(7). Section 95.11(7) provides as follows:
59
+
60
+ (7) For intentional torts based on abuse. — An action founded on alleged abuse, as defined in s. 39.01, ... may be commenced at any time within 7 years after the age of majority, or within 4 years after the injured person leaves the dependency of the abuser, or within 4 years from the time of discovery by the injured party of both the injury and the causal relationship between the injury and the abuse, whichever occurs later.
61
+
62
+ Accordingly, an intentional tort claim alleging "abuse" against a child, as described in Fla. Stat.
63
+
64
+ <sup>2</sup> The Complaint states that "In or about 2001, lane Doe, then approximately 16 years old, fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims." Comp. ¶ 9.
65
+
66
+ §39.01, is controlled by §95.11(7), as an exception to the four-year limitations period provided for in §95.11(3X0). See H.T.E. v. Tyler Technologies, Inc., 217 F.Supp. 2d 1255, 1259 (M.D. Fla. 2002) (where language of a statute is clear and unambiguous, the statute must be given its plain and obvious meaning).
67
+
68
+ The term "abuse" is defined in Fla. Stat. §39.01(2) as follows: " `Abuse' means any willful act or threatened act that results in any physical, mental or sexual injury or harm that causes or is likely to cause the child's physical, mental, or emotional health to be significantly impaired." The Complaint in this case alleges "abuse" under the broad definition of §39.01. Specifically, Count I alleges willful acts (Complaint ¶¶ 8-13, 16-19); resulting in physical, mental or sexual injury (Complaint ¶¶ 13,17, 20); that cause or are likely to cause the child's physical, mental or emotional health to be significantly impaired. Thus, the seven-year limitations period after the Plaintiff reaches the age of majority applies to Plaintiff's claims in Count I. According to the allegations in the Complaint, Plaintiff was approximately 16 years old in 2001. Comp. ¶ 9. It follows that Plaintiff was approximately 24 years old (and approximately six years past the age of majority) when she filed her Complaint. Therefore, Count I is not time-barred pursuant to the applicable statute of limitations.
69
+
70
+ Counts III alleges a claim under 18 U.S.C. § 2255(a) based upon an alleged violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422. That statute states, in pertinent part,
71
+
72
+ - (b) Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual who has not attained the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title and imprisoned not less than 10 years or for life.
73
+
74
+ 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b).
75
+
76
+ Defendant argues that, on the face of the Complaint, Count III is barred by the statute of limitations contained in 18 U.S.C. § 2255(b). That statute provides: "Any action commenced under this section shall be barred unless the complaint is filed within six years after the right of action first accrues or in the case of a person under a legal disability, not later than three years after the disability." Defendant states that, based on the allegations of the Complaint, it has been eight (8) years since the alleged conduct by Defendant occurred, well past the six-year statute of limitations. Additionally, Defendant asserts that Plaintiff is now at least 24 years old, well past the age of majority under both federal and state law. See 18 U.S.C. § 2256(1); Fla. Stat. § 1.01.
77
+
78
+ Plaintiff responds that Defendant's motion assumes that the action accrued on the date when Defendant's alleged sexual misconduct occurred, but that the determination of when the limitations period accrues under the discovery rule in a case involving sexual misconduct with a minor requires a detailed and complex factual inquiry regarding when Plaintiff became aware of her injuries and was able to connect those injuries to the Defendant's conduct. (Resp. at 5-7). While ordinarily a Plaintiff need not negate the affirmative defense of the statute of limitations, LaGrasta 358 F.3d at 845, when on the face of the complaint it appears that the limitations period has run, Plaintiff must allege facts which, if proven true, would avoid the limitations period. See Hughes v. Lott, 350 F.3d 1157, 1163 (II th<sup>h</sup> Cir. 2003) (to dismiss a claim as timebarred it must appear beyond a doubt from the complaint itself that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts which would avoid a statute of limitations bar); Berkson v. Del Monte Corp. 743 F.2d 53, 55 (1' Cir. 1984); see. e.g., Autry Petroleum Co. v. BP Products North America. Inc., 2006 WL 1174443, • 4 (M.D. Ga. 2006) ("Plaintiffs' Complaint may be dismissed only if, from the
79
+
80
+ face of the Complaint, it is apparent (1) that the statute of limitations has run and (2) that there are no facts that Plaintiffs could prove that would support a finding that BP has committed a fraud which prevented Plaintiffs from bringing the action at an earlier time.") A review of the Complaint, however, reveals no allegations which implicate the doctrine of delayed discovery, or would avoid the running of the limitations period. Accordingly, the Court will dismiss Count III without prejudice for Plaintiff to amend to add allegations which implicate the doctrine of delayed discovery, if she can do so in good faith.
81
+
82
+ ## Conclusion
83
+
84
+ For the reasons stated herein, Defendant's Motion to Dismiss (DE 8) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART as follows: Defendant's motion to dismiss Count I is denied. Defendant's motion to dismiss Count III is granted. Count HI is hereby dismissed without prejudice, with leave to amend in accordance with this Order.

+ PLAINTIFF, RESPONSE TO THIRD PARTY WITNESS, IGOR ZINOVIEW'S, MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER AND INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM OF LAW
20
+
21
+ Plaintiff, by and through her undersigned counsel, hereby files her Response Third Party Witness, Igor Zinoview's, Motion For Protective Order and Incorporated Memorandum of Law (D.E. 402), and in support thereof states as follows:
22
+
23
+ - 1. Third party witness, Igor Zinoview, seeks to have this Court enter an order preventing his deposition from going forward at all, or, in the alternative, limiting the scope of permissible questioning during same. Mr. Zinoview's deposition is presently scheduled to be taken on December 18, 2009.
24
+ - 2. Mr. Zinoview has been employed by Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, as his "driver, bodyguard, and trainer" since November of 2005. See Affidavit of Igor Zinoview
25
+
26
+ (D.E. 402) dated November 9, 2009. Mr. Zinoview argues that his deposition should not go forward as scheduled because Defendant Epstein has never discussed nor attempted to discuss with him "any facts or information related to any legal matters in which he [Jeffrey Epstein] is involved." Id. From Mr. Zinoview's vague assertion springs the bold yet erroneous argument that "Mr. Zinoview cannot possibly have any knowledge or information that is presently germane to this action."
27
+
28
+ 3. It should initially be noted that a "complete prohibition of a deposition is an extraordinary measure which should be resorted to only in rare occasions." Jennings v. Family Management, 201 F.R.D. 272 (D.D.C. 2001); See also, Salter v. Upjohn Co., 593 F.2d 649, 651 (51h Circ. 1979)(It is very unusual for trial court to prohibit the taking of a deposition altogether, and absent extraordinary circumstances, such order would likely be in error.)• Inv. Properties Intern., Ltd. v. IOS, Ltd., 459 F.2d. 705, 708 (2d Circ. 1972)("an order to vacate a notice of taking deposition is generally regarded as both unusual and unfavorable . . . "). Neither Mr. Zinoview's conclusory affidavit nor his Motion provide anything even approaching the "extraordinary circumstances" necessary to justify the entry of order precluding his deposition from going forward at all.
29
+
30
+ 4. Additionally, Mr. Zinoview's vague assertion that he and Defendant Epstein have never discussed any facts or information related to any legal matters that Mr. Epstein is involved in does not give rise to requisite "extraordinary circumstances" either. Detweiler Bros, Inc. v John Graham and Company, 412 F.Supp. 416 (E.D. Wash, 1976)(Plaintiff could not properly seek to prohibit defendant from deposing plaintiff's employee via a protective order on grounds that employee had no knowledge of matters at issue.) See also 8 Fed. Prac. & Proc. Civ. §2037, and "A witness ordinarily cannot escape examination by denying knowledge of any relevant facts, since the party seeking to take the deposition is entitled to test the witness's lack of knowledge.")
31
+
32
+ 5. The undersigned, as well as counsel for all of the other victims of Jeffrey Epstein, are entitled to question and challenge Mr. Zinoview on his purported lack of knowledge. Mr. Zinoview and plaintiffs' counsel very well might have a difference of opinion on what constitutes "facts and information related to any legal matters" in which Defendant Epstein is involved. The victims of Jeffrey Epstein ought not to be forced to accept Mr. Zinoview's opinion as to what constitutes "facts and information related to any legal matters" involving Jeffrey Epstein. Instead, plaintiffs should be able to explore these relevant matters directly with Mr. Zinoview, rather than being forced to rely on his twenty seven (27) word claim of lacking any knowledge.
33
+
34
+ 6. Additionally, Mr. Zinoview worked for Defendant Epstein during portions of the Palm Beach Police Department's months' long investigation which spanned from March 15, 2005 through February 2006 into the illegal sexual contact committed by Defendant Epstein against these minor plaintiffs. Accordingly, Mr. Zinoview certainly might have direct knowledge about what was going on in and around the Epstein residence during the time period in which he was employed by Defendant Epstein as his "driver, bodyguard, and trainer" while his employer was being investigated by law enforcement. Given the Defendant's voracious invocation of his Fifth Amendment privilege, the plaintiffs have consistently been denied the opportunity to seek any relevant information directly from Defendant Epstein himself. Rather, plaintiffs have been forced to build their cases against Mr. Epstein by other discovery methods, including deposing his employees who may have relevant information.
35
+
36
+ 7. Third party witness Igor Zinoview has failed to meet his very high burden of establishing "extraordinary circumstances." Mr. Zinoview has failed to demonstrate the "good cause" required by Rule 26(c) to protect a person from "annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense" to overcome the liberal scope of permissible discovery. The above proposed lines of inquiry of Mr. Zinoview are certainly reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Accordingly, to the extent that it seeks to preclude his deposition from going forward at all, Mr. Zinoview's Motion should be denied
37
+
38
+ 8. Next, Mr. Zinoview also seeks to prevent questions being posed to him wherein he is first asked to "assume certain facts about which he has no knowledge," and then be asked about his "opinions about certain facts." First, it remains to be seen exactly what facts about which Mr. Zinoview has no knowledge. Second, Mr. Zinoview's opinions and beliefs about the factual matters surrounding plaintiffs' claims are relevant to exploring any potential bias and prejudice in favor of his employer and against Defendant Epstein's victims. For example, if Mr. Zinoview believes that these plaintiffs are simply inventing their claims against his employer that they were sexually victimized by Defendant Epstein while they were minor children, it very well might impact his impartiality as a witness. Third, the undersigned has no present intention of engaging in this line of questioning unless the proverbial "door" has been opened by Mr. Zinoview first. Lastly, counsel for Mr. Zinoview is certainly free to invoke the privileges afforded to him by the applicable procedural rules should he feel that his client is being asked inappropriate questions during the deposition.
39
+
40
+ 9. In conclusion and for the reasons cited above, Mr. Zinoview's Motion For Protective Order should be denied in its entirety.
41
+
42
+ WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, respectfully requests that this Court deny Third Party Igor Zinoview's Motion For Protective Order.
