Deposition taken before MICHELLE PAYNE, Court
Reporter and Notary Public in and for the State of
Florida at Large, in the above cause.
THE VIDEOGRAPHER: This is a continuation
of the deposition of Alfredo Rodriguez.
Today is Friday, August the 7th, the year
2009, starting time approximately 1:15 p.m.
Will the court reporter please swear in
the witness?
Thereupon,
having been first duly sworn or affirmed, was
examined and testified as follows:
MR. CRITTON: Before we get started just
with regard to Ms. Ezell represents Jane Doe
101 and 102, the alleged time of her
Incidents as of least have been plead in the
complaint for 101 is '99 -- I'm sorry, '98
through 2002, with Jane Doe 102 the Spring
of -- Spring/Summer of 2003. Mr. Rodriguez
never even began employment until '04 and
'05. I think her questioning I think -- I
can't say she doesn't have standing based on
the court order, but I would say it's
Page 278
completely irrelevant and immaterial and has
no probative value with regard to this
particular witness based upon the two
clients at least that are in suit at this
point in time.
MS. EZELL: As Mr. Critton well knows I
represent a number of other clients whose
cases have not been filed and I believe we
do have standing to ask questions, and I do
intend to do that today.

A. Mainly the kitchen.
20
Q. And why was that, why would people mainly
21 come to the kitchen?
22
A. I'll say it was for practicable reasons
23
because not to go to the main -- it was shorter
24
because the entrance was here, so this was the
25 driveway and we used to take into the back door of

MR. CRITTON: Form.
14
THE WITNESS: Yes, ma'am.
15
BY MS. EZELL:

18 they left from giving the massage.
19
A. She will call me and she will say pay X,
20
Y, or Z, and that's the way I knew how much and to
21 whom. But sometimes they would leave and I didn't
22 pay those, I don't know who paid them.
23
Q. Okay. So if she calls you and told you
24 to pay X, Y, and Z $200, would you then go back

lead you to draw that conclusion?

7
MR. CRITTON: Let me offer as a
8
suggestion, not that you have to accept or
9
that you would, you're using the term young
10
girls generically, he has probably seen
11
many, many young girls, there was no --
12
you've used it interchangeably with just
13
young girls versus young girls who may have
14
come to -- purported to give a massage and,
15
therefore, that may be a different answer,
16
so that's part of my form objection.

photographed?

You're not required to speculate, you're
2 not required to guess, you're not required to
3
assume because some lawyers ask you a leading
4
question or suggested in a report or like the
5
police report like Mr. Mermelstein and Mr. Edwards
6
did, that did you tell the police officers X, Y,
7
or Z without showing you the statement. You're

A. Yes, I remember.
19
Q. He asked you do you remember telling the
20 police officer Y, X, or Z.
21
Do you remember that? Do you remember
22 that's how he phrased his question?

Q. He never showed you a statement that you
25 made to the police department; did he?

enough to provide is the first part of your

Do you understand that?
10
A. Yes, I understand that.
11
Q. And no one has provided that to you yet
12
today; have they?
13
A. No.
14
Q. Now, I think you told us that with the
15
police officers you gave a taped statement.
16
Did I understand you correctly?
17
A. Yes.
18
Q. And the only conversation that you had
19 with the police officers, and it may have been a
20 state attorney, it was somebody named Ms. Weiss
21 who I think was referenced in the questions, the
22 on time that you talked with at least Officer
23
and the State Attorneys Office from Palm
24
Beac County was in a taped statement.

Q. But he only took one statement?
18
A. One taped.
19
Q. I'm sorry, one taped statement?
20
A. Yes.
21
Q. All right. So as to whether r not if
22
you said something to Officer
or not that
23
you would be able to confirm, that would only have
24
been in a taped statement, one taped statement out
25 of the three, approximately three times he spoke

12 tell you. On July 29th of this year, and Mr.
13
Mermelstein started with your deposition and then
14 others asked questions, when Mr. Mermelstein and I
15 think Mr. Edwards asked questions about did you
16 tell Officer
X, Y, or Z, they didn't show
17 you a statement, they didn't give you like a
18 transcript like this and say see what the question
19 and see what the answer is?

not take a taped statement, did he ever present
4
anything for you, anything in writing that he had
5
written to say, Mr. Rodriguez, I would like you to
6
review this to make certain that I took down
7
correctly what you said?
8
A. No, sir.
9
Q. If he had offered to do that would you
10 have read what he wrote down to determine whether
11 or not he took down that which you had said or
12 told him?

MR. EDWARDS: Object to the form.
14
THE WITNESS: Probably I will read It
15
first.

BY MR. CRITTON:
17
Q. All right. And if In fact he had
18 recorded something incorrectly or recorded in a
19 particular way that he wanted it phrased and it
20 was not accurate, would you have told him that?

MR. EDWARDS: Object to the form.
22
THE WITNESS: No, I never told him that.
23 BY MR. CRITTON:
24
Q. Listen to mysiiin.
25
If he, Officer
, had taken down
Page 344
1 your taped statement since you gave it many years
2
ago?
3
A. No, sir.
4
Q. Would you agree that your taped statement
5
would probably be a little more accurate than your
6
testimony today because of the time period that

15
number four you took back five, six, seven,
16
and eight, and you're going to keep those
17

police and gave them a statement, isn't it true,
5
Mr. Rodriguez, that you were no longer employed by

7
A. Yes.
8
Q. And you understood that you were required
9 to tell the police officers the truth at that

Q. Haven't you told the police, sir -- let
me strike that, let me ask it this way.
In your taped statement that you gave to
the police did you not tell them that all of the
girls appeared to you to be 18 or above?
A. Sir, as far as when all these actions
that were taking place I was under an environment
that I thought I was going to be -- in other
words, I was afraid of any reprisal Mr. Epstein
and Mrs. Maxwell if I say something that is any
idea of me because I have this confidentiality
agreement. What I saw that they were very young,
but I cannot say that they were 18 and old.
Q. Right. Let me just take you back to my
question again and see if you can answer my
question.
MR. CRITTON: Could you please read it
back?
(Thereupon, a portion of the record was
read by the reporter.)

Do you recognize her at all?

A. No, I don't recognize her.

13
Q. Was that near the end of your employment

1 was at that time?
2
A. No, I didn't know.
3
Q. If I was to tell you she was born in
4
December of '86 which would have made her 18 at

13
Q. Other than telling
did you say
14
anything to anyone else when you saw
the
15
lady you believe was
naked in the sauna?
16
A. I believe I mentioned that to my wife.
17
Q. All right. Anyone else?
18
A. No.
19
. And did
continue -- assuming it was
20
, did she continue to sleep in the sauna, that
21 is, she didn't know you were there?
22
A. She never knew that I was there.
23
Q. She didn't at least acknowledge that she
24
knew. Correct?
25
A. Yes, correct.
1
correct?
2
A. I think so, sir.
3
Q. All right. I assume that in over the
4
course of your life separate and apart from your
5
wife you've seen a naked woman before.
6
A. Yes.
7
Q. And I assume that in your 50 some odd
8 years -- how old are you, sir?
9
A. 55.
10
Q. In your 55 years you've seen pictures of
11 naked women both photographs, paintings, statutes.
12 Would that be a fair statement?
13
A. Yes.
14
Q. And in terms of at least in this
15 particular case there is all sorts of -- as you
16 know there is testimony, and you've been asked a
17 number of questions about sex related issues, that
18 is whether you saw in photographs or whether you
19 saw anyone engaged in any type of sexual activity.
20 Correct?
21
A. Correct.
22
Q. And I assume that you understand that men
23 and women -- we'll start there first, that men and
24 women actually do have sex in this world?
25
A. Yes.
Page 352
1
Q. You were asked by Ms. Ezell -- I'm just
2
going to cover a couple of things as Ion
I'm
3
staying with Cathy here -- whether
you
4
had told us something about the picture of the
5
Pope near a picture of a naked person, naked
6
woman. That's what
told you, you never
7
saw those photos. Correct?
8
A. I did saw the pictures.
9
Q. You did see the pictures?
10
A. Yes.
11
Q. And the photos that you saw of the naked
12 woman that was near the Pope's photograph, was
13
that someone that you knew or just a picture of a
14
naked woman?
15
A. It was somebody -- somebody that was a
16 visitor in the house, but I don't know her name.
17
Q. And the visitors, that would have been
18
one of the plane women, you described the women
19 who came in on planes, or that they came with Mr.
20 Epstein from time to time?
21
A. They came with Mr. Epstein from time to
22 time.
23
Q. All right. And those are women that I
24
think you testified at your last deposition all
25
appeared to be in their 20's or older. Is that
Page 354
1
Q. That comes as no grand surprise to you?
2
A. No.
3
Q. And you understand that people actually
4
enjoy sex from time to time?
5
A. Yes.
6
Q. Are you familiar with that concept at
7
least?
8
A. Yes.
9
Q. All right. And what may be typical
10 sexual activity for one man and woman, or whatever
11 the permutation might be, another couple, or
12 another man and woman, or another man or woman may
13 consider to be unusual or overly aggressive.
14
MS. EZELL: Objection to form.
15
BY MR. CRITTON:
16
Q. True?
17
A. It depends on your point of view.
18
Q. That's what I mean. Everyone has a
19 different point of view about sex and what may be
20 considered typical sexual activity for someone,
21 someone else may consider that's a bit
22
adventurous?

stores?
14
A. Yes.
15
Q. And they're available so that someone
16 walking through Walgreens or Publix or CVS could
17 actually take it off the shelf, put it In their
18 cart, go up and pay for it and take it home?
19
A. Yes.
20
Q. All right. In the photographs that you
21 talked about, and if I understood you correctly,
22 at least during the time that you were there, Mr.
23
Rodriguez, in '04 and '05 there were -- you said
24 that there were -- I think you said downstairs --
25
and I'm talking about really from the kitchen area
Page 357
1
you say her name?
2
A. Yes,
3
Q. Okay. I s
there was a
4
picture where someone it oo
like was pulling
5
on their swimsuit?
6
A. Yes.
7
Q. Do you recall ever seeing the old
8
Coppertone --
9
A. Yes.
10
Q. Let me ask the question. I know you know
11 what this is.
12
Have you ever seen the old Coppertone
13
commercials and billboards that used to be
14
plastered all over certainly Florida and other
15
places where there is a cute little girl who
16 appears to be two, three, four years old and
17
someone is pulling down at least a portion of her
18
swimsuit so she's exposing a small portion of her
19
cheek is exposed?
20
A. Yes.
21
Q. Okay. Is that what the picture of the
22
young girl looked like that is Mr. Epstein's God
23 daughter?
24
A. More or less, yes.
25
Q. All right. And downstairs in the kitchen
Page 356
1 up the back stairway, or what would be the kitchen
2
stairway to the upper floor, there was I think you
3
said, but correct me if I'm wrong, please, that
4
you don't recall seeing there being any pictures
5
or photographs of any nude women. Is that
6
correct?
7
A. They were not nude women in the
8
staircase.
9
Q. That's all I'm talking about right now.
10 In that area you never saw any pictures, or
11 photographs, paintings, any type of depiction of a
12
nude woman on that staircase going upstairs.
13
Correct?
14
A. Correct.
15
Q. All right. And I think you said
16 downstairs you saw a picture of -- the only
17
picture that you saw of I'd say of a younger child
18
that displayed some form of -- I don't want to say
19 nudity because it's probably not that, but of some
20
portion of their body that was exposed, and I
21 think you described it as her cheek.
22
A. Yes, that's upstairs.
23
Q. That's upstairs?
24
A. Upstairs.
25
Q. And that was --
is that how
Page 358
1
were there any pictures of women in any stage of
2
undress?
3
A. No.
4
Q. And then I think you said as you walk
5
upstairs, or as you walked up the stairway from
6
the kitchen at the top of the landing, I think you
7
described -- did you describe it as the foyer?
8
A. Yes.
9
Q. Okay. But it's really the landing, the
10 upstairs landing?
11
A. Yes.
12
Q. I think you said there were -- there was
13 -- were or was a three by five picture or
14
pictures?
15
A. Yes.
16
Q. Of women in some stage of undress?
17
A. Yes.
18
Q. Okay. And when you say three by five, I
19
assume you meant three feet?
20
A. Three feet.
21
Q. By five feet?
22
A. Yes.
23
Q. Were they photographs?
24
A. Yes, they were photographs.

10

11
A. Yes.
12
Q. All right. And the only thing that you
13
could see was a portion, that is of her other than
14
say her waist or her shoulders or her arms or
15
something, that's one where you could see kind of
16
like the Coppertone commercial, a picture of her

Q. And as to what their ages were you don't
25
know?
Page 360
1
Q. But showed the same thing?
2
A. Yes.
3
Q. Okay. As you walked through into -- then
4 if I understood it correctly, you go to the pretty
5
much to the end of the hallway, then you go
6
through another small vestibule, double doors, two
7
sets of double doors, and as you go straight ahead
8
then you make a left around the bed and then you
9
end up in the bathroom.
10
A. Yes.
11
Q. In the bathroom -- in the bathroom or In
12 that location were there any pictures of any women
13 in any stage of undress?
14
A. Yes.
15
Q. All right. And were any of those
16
pictures, did they involve -- or were they of any
17 of the girls that have been described as women who
18 came over to give Mr. -- purportedly to give Mr.
19 Epstein a massage?
20
A. Yes.
21
Q. And do you remember who any of the names
22 of any of those people were?
23
A. No.
24
Q. And the pictures you saw, where were they
25
located?
Page 362
1
A. No, sir.
2
Q. That's correct?
3
A. That's correct.
4
Q. And as to what they depicted in the
5
photographs of the girls were they in different
6
stages of undress?
7
A. Yes.
Q. Was everyone undressed to some degree,
9
that is, they were described as nude, or at least
10 the questions asked were these people nude? Were
11 they actually nude or someone may have had their
12 top off?
13
A. There were two girls completely naked in
14 a shower in a sexual act.
15
Q. Is that the one when Ms. Ezell asked you
16 questions, that's one of the photographs that you
17
were talking about?
18
A. No, sir.
19
Q. That was a different --
20
A. Different one.
21
Q. Okay. And the mosaic that you saw where
22 you saw two girls involved in a sexual act, do you
2.3
know where that photograph was taken?
24
A. I think it was taken in one of the rooms
25 in the house because there is an oval bathtub, but

6
other photographs of girls that you recognized?
7

8
Q. Okay. And were they fully unclothed or
9
did they have some degree of clothes on and/or
10 off?
11
A. They were naked.
12
Q. All right. And all of the remaining
13
pictures at least within that mosaic were of
14
individuals that you did not know?
15
A. No, sir.
16
Q. And that you did not recognize as having
17
been at the house. Is that correct?
18
A. Yes, that's correct.
19
Q. You were also asked about some -- let me
20
switch for just a minute.
21
You were asked about a vibrator that you
22
saw, and I think you described it as a back
23
massager that was approximately 18 inches long
24
that had a couple of rotating heads on it.
25
A. Yes.
Page 365
1 pilots, masseuses, chefs, so she have a copy of

8
to do?
9
A. No.
10
Q. Okay. You actually went in her office?
11
A. Yes.
12
Q. And was her computer on so that you
13
didn't need to access the password?
14
A. It was off.
15
Q. Okay. So you just turned it on?
16
A. Yes, sir.
17
Q. And then you were able to access her
18
computer?
19
A. Exactly.
20
Q. And what possessed you to go in and to
21 access her personal computer?
22
A. I needed to send some documents to the
23
New York office and it was the only computer
24
working in the house.
25
Q. Okay. And how many occasions did you use
Page 364
1
Q. And I think you ultimately came up with
2
the idea as it was something you had seen at like
3
a Sharper Image store.
4
A. Yes, sir.
5
Q. Have you ever seen one of those types of
6
devices, that is a back massager with the rotating
7
heads also sold -- well, let me ask you this.
8
Strike that last question.

Have you ever been to Brookstone?
10
A. Yes.
11
Q. Okay. Have you ever seen a massager like
12 that at Brookstone?
13
A. Yes.
14
Q. Okay. You were asked whether Ms. Maxwell
15 kept the names of any of the girls who came to
16 give massages on -- let me ask it this way.
17

19 girls who came to give massages and I think your
20 response was yes.
21
A. Yes.
22
Q. Okay. Did she keep them on a pad of
23
paper, did she keep them in a notebook, did she
24

8
Q. Did you ever ask Ms. Maxwell for
9
permission to use her computer?
10
A. I was the house manager, I believe I was
11 supposed to use everything in the house to
12 accomplish my duties, in that case sending
13 financial reports or e-mails.
14
Q. So would you have been -- did you ever
15
use Mr. Epstein's computer?
16
A. No.

Q. Okay. So how would you generally do
9
that? Would you do that through a Microsoft
10 program?
11
A. Through Citrix.
12
Q. Through Citrix. All right. With Citrix,
13 and that is, If you said you saw some names of
14 individuals on her computer if you were just going
15 to pdf some documents up to New York why would you
16 of -- what would of caused you to have seen any
17
names on her computer?

MS. EZELL: Objection to form.
19
THE WITNESS: All the calls that came to
20
358 El Brillo, they came through the
21
telephone, they have a transcript somehow
22
that they connect to the computer, so you
23
can pull it and you register the time, who
24
called, who didn't call, and you can pull
25
this at your request. So I used to use that
Page 369

record with tape number three.

BY MR. CRITTON:
3
Q. Mr. Rodriguez, I was asking you about
4
Ms. Maxwell's computer and you told me how you
5
went on the computer.
6
If she was out of town would she take her
7
computer with her?
8
A. No.
9
Q. It was something she left there?
10
A. Yes.
11
Q. All right. And when you went on to pdf,
12 I think you said it was really one time that you
13
saw the names of some of these girls?
14
A. Yes.
15
Q. And if I understand it correctly, it was
16 -- did It have the name and then a phone number?
17
A. Yes.
18
Q. And was that something that was
19 automatically downloaded from the system?
20
A. Yeah, from the phone system to the
21 computer so we have a transcript.
22
Q. When you say a transcript, the fact that
23
Sally Jones, phone number 561, whatever it was,
24
called.
25
A. It was a transcript of the phone calls of
Page 368
1
to go back to some calls that they were
2
requesting, especially when the hurricane
3
season happened.
4
BY MR. CRITTON:
5
Q. Okay. So if I understand, even the
6
computer you used would have had that same
7
feature?
8
A. No, no, it was totally different. Mine
9
was slower and all the time was breaking down
10 that's why we have the guy from Ohio came and
11 fixed the computers.
12
Q. Okay. Were there other computers that
13
you used tiali
that feature, that is that --
14
A. Onl
, Mrs. Maxwell, and the staff
15 house.
16
Q. Staff house being yours?
17
A. The guest house, yes, my office.
18
Q. So you could go out to your guest house
19 then and look for the same information?
20
A. No.
21
Q. All right. I don't understand but why
22 don't we take a break because we're almost out of
23
tape.
24
(Thereupon, a recess was had.)
25
THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We're back on the
Page 370
1 the house, we can get it from the computer.
2
Q. Okay. And I'm distinguishing,
3
transcript, it would tell you the name and phone
4
number, it wouldn't tell you what was said?
5
A. It was the message also.
6
Q. Okay. Now I understand. And so
7
Ms. Maxwell when you said she had the names of
8
some of these girls who may have given massages,
9 or at least were what you called earlier girls
10 that gave massages, or females that gave massages,
11 she would have had it because that was information
12 that was downloaded from the atrix system into
13 her computer?
14
A. Yes.

MS. EZELL: Objection, form.

A. Yes.
21
Q. And were you going through her computer
22 at that time?

Page 371
1 New York what were you doing getting to names and
2
phone numbers and then pictures of girls?
3
A. I was trying to get some information. I
4
was working the computer and I just happen -- they
5
have the icon of the file and I open and it was
6 right there, so I was not looking but, you know,
7 it was already accessible to me.
8
Q. And how many photographs did you then
9
scroll through to look at?
10
A. Probably 30.
11
Q. Okay. And why?
12
A. Just curiosity, sir.
13
Q. So again, you never told anyone other
14 than your wife?
15
A. No.
16
Q. Correct?
17
A. Yes, correct.
18
Q. Of the pictures that you saw, if I
19 understood it correctly, some of those were
20 pictures of -- well, I think you said some of them
21 reflected parties or banquets?
22
A. Yes.
23
Q. I think you described some of the
24 pictures gatherings that appeared to be either in
25 Russia or Eastern Europe?
Page 373
1
Q. Okay. Were any of the photographs that
2
were in -- again, I'm talking about Ms. Maxwell's
3 computer now, were those photographs of
4
individuals who were any of the girls or ladies
5
that came over to give massages?
6
A. No. They stay at the house.
7
Q. Okay. So the photographs that you saw on
8 Ms. Maxwell's computer of females in any state of
9 undress or at parties or at banquets, those were
10 all of individuals who would fly in with Mr.
11 Epstein at various periods of time that had
12 traveled with him?
13
A. That's correct.
14
Q. Okay. Those are the girls that you told
15 us I think at your last deposition and reaffirmed
16 here today, those girls all appeared to be in
17 their 20's?
18
A. Yes, sir.
19
Q. All right. Now, you were also asked some
20 questions, a lot of questions about surveillance.
21 And if I understood your testimony, and this is
22 where it goes back to what do you know, what don't
23 you know, what were you speculating on, what did
24 you know at the time, what do you know now, at
25 least I need you to distinguish that for me so
Page 372
1
A. Yes.
2
Q. All right. And then you talked about a
3
picture of two girls in the shower that you didn't
4
know the girls. Correct?
5
A. Yes.
6
Q. That's correct?
7
A. That's correct.
8
Q. All right. And that in all of the
9
photographs that you saw the individuals seemed to
10
be having a good time?
11
A. Yes.
12
Q. All right. Would it be a correct
13 statement that in none of the photographs did
14
anyone seem to be distressed or disturbed or show
15 any type of negative emotion, at least from what
16 you observed?
17
A. That's correct.

distinct from what you may have read in the
newspaper or been told by some lawyer or someone
else that may not be accurate. Okay?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. With regard to the -- with regard to
surveillance equipment, if I understood your
testimony today is you were completely unaware of
the existence of any surveillance equipment in the
house during the 2004/2005 time period that you
worked there. Is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And therefore, where it was, what may
have existed, whether it in fact actually did
exist, whether anyone maintained it, you have no
personal knowledge whatsoever. Is that true?
A. That's true.

If I understood your original testimony
12 -- I don't want to say original. If I understood

your testimony from July 29th to what you told us

massages they'd knock or somehow you would be
16 aware that they were at the back door, you would
