Page 5 WHY ARE THE RICH AND POWERFUL SO IN THRALL TO MAXWELL'S DAILY MAIL (London) January 10, 2015 Saturday Sjoberg stated that she met Epstein three years ago when Ghislaine Maxwell approached her . . . to work around Epstein's house. Maxwell told her they needed some girls to work at the house to answer phones and run errands,' it says. Sjoberg, a pretty, 23-year-old student, was allegedly later asked by Epstein to provide erotic massage. In 2009, lawyers preparing a case against Epstein meanwhile took a deposition from Alfredo Rodriguez, Epstein's former housekeeper. In it, he claimed that Ms Maxwell kept an office under the stairs in the Palm Beach property, saying her computer contained a list of girls who came to give massages there, along with their phone numbers. Rodriguez further claimed that Maxwell kept nude pictures of some of these girls on the device. He believed these photos had been taken without the young women's knowledge. I don't think they knew they were being photographed,' he said. Then there are the extraordinary, but disputed, claims by Roberts, who alleges that she spent four years as Epstein's slave' after being introduced to him at the age of 15 by Maxwell whom she'd met while working at a local beauty spa. On her first visit to Epstein's home, where she'd been offered work as a masseur, she was led into a bedroom, where Epstein was lying naked on a table. After she had rubbed his back for 40 minutes, the tycoon rolled over, exposing himself, she claims. A legal paper dating back to 2009 claims Ms Maxwell then took off her own shirt and left on her underwear and started rubbing the upper part of her body across Epstein's body, showing Roberts what she was supposed to do. Maxwell then told [Roberts] to take off her own clothes . . The encounter escalated.' Roberts claims to have subsequently joined a harem paid $200 a time to provide erotic massages to Epstein and his friends including, she alleges, Prince Andrew in exclusive locations around the world. Jeffrey loved the latex outfits Ghislaine had for us girls,' reads a 2011 court filing. He had bondage outfits, he had all different kinds of outfits, but his favourite was the schoolgirl. Ghislaine would take me to dress up to surprise Jeffrey ... that would include wearing a tiny little skirt with nothing underneath.' Regarding Roberts' claims, Ms Maxwell's spokesman said this week: Each time the story is retold it changes, with new salacious details about public figures ... the claims are obvious lies and should be treated as such.' It was also claimed in court papers unearthed this week that Ms Maxwell, to dodge questions about these allegations, lied to lawyers that she had to return to the UK and had no plans to return to the U.S. because her elderly mother was deathly ill'. However, Ms Maxwell then popped up at Bill Clinton's daughter's wedding in America the following month. For internal use only CONFIDENTIAL - PURSUANT TO FED. R. CRIM.
