1. Jeffrey Epstein and Alan Dershowitz have been friends for years. The two met in July,
1996, when Mr. Epstein was introduced to Mr. Dershowitz by a mutual friend and flew
on his private jet to Martha's Vineyard to spend the day with Mr. Dershowitz.
2. Mr. Epstein, had grown up in Coney Island. He did not graduate from college.
3. Mr. Epstein was wealthy and owned luxurious houses and private planes and was
sometimes accompanied by beautiful women. He had many intellectuals as friends.
4. Mr. Epstein and Mr. Dershowitz quickly found common interests. Mr. Dershowitz has
said they talked about science, academia, and Harvard. OUR DISCUSSIONS FOCUSED
5. In August, 1996, Mr. Epstein invited Mr. Dershowitz to meet Leslie Wexner, whom Mr.
Epstein described as his mentor. Mr. Epstein and Mr. Dershowitz took Mr. Epstein's
private jet to New Albany, Ohio, where Mr. Wexner had an estate, to attend a party for
Mr. Wexner's fifty-ninth birthday. Mr. Dershowitz later said that he was Mr. Epstein's
intellectual gift to Mr. Wexner.
6. In the seventies, Mr. Epstein had been a trader and a wealth manager at Bear, Stearns,
before leaving in 1981 to start a small firm, J. Epstein & Co.
7. In 1987, Mr. Wexner hired Mr. Epstein as his financial adviser. Mr. Epstein has said that
he re- fused to accept clients with less than a billion dollars in assets. The only client that
he has ever named publicly is Mr. Wexner. When asked in a deposition whether Mr.
Wexner was his only client, Mr. Epstein took the Fifth.
8. In 1989, Mr. Wexner bought a seven-story Manhattan mansion, overlooking the Frick
Museum. The mansion was among the largest private residences in the city. Mr. Wexner
is reported to have sold it to Mr. Epstein for one dollar. In 1996, Mr. Epstein told the
Times that he owned the mansion.
EFTA00808054
9. In 1997, Mr. Epstein invested thirty million dollars in Boston Provident. Orin Kramer,
the founder of the hedge fund, understood that the money came from Mr. Wexner. Later
in 1997, Mr. Epstein called Mr. Kramer and asked him to stop by his office. Mr.
Dershowitz also attended the meeting. At the meeting, Mr. Epstein asked Mr. Kramer to
accept an investment of about half a million dollars from Mr. Dershowitz. Mr. Kramer
accepted as a favor to Mr. Epstein. Mr. Dershowitz signed standard papers
acknowledging that his money was at significant risk. I NEVER ATTENDED A
ME THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE OF HIS INVESTORS THAT HADN'T MADE A
OF ANY ROLE EPSTEIN MAY HAVE PLAYED IN KRAMER'S DECISION.
10. In 1998, the fund sustained enormous losses. Mr. Epstein told Mr. Kramer that one of the
two of them would have to reimburse Mr. Dershowitz. Mr. Epstein said that if he were to
have to reimburse Mr. Dershowitz, Mr. Kramer would regret it. Mr. Kramer agreed to
restore Mr. Dershowitz's losses, if Mr. Epstein would leave the remainder of the money
he controlled in the fund.
II. Mr. Epstein threw parties at his house in New York. He would often invite scientists,
whose company he enjoyed.
12. Mr. Epstein also had an interest in Harvard. In 1990, he and Mr. Wexner had helped to
fund the construction of a new building at Harvard Hillel, named after Henry Rosovsky,
then the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
13. Mr. Dershowitz began introducing Mr. Epstein around the college. Mr. Epstein
subsequently began funding research into psychology and the history of science, and he
became a member of the advisory board of the Harvard Society of Mind, Brain, and
Behavior, and a Harvard fellow. Mr. Epstein also established an office in Brattle Square,
where he held seminars on contemporary academic ideas, in which Mr. Dershowitz
sometimes participated. I NEVER INTRODUCED EPSTEIN TO ANYONE "AROUND
THE COLLEGE". I UNDERSTAND THAT STEPHEN GOULD AND MARVIN
EFTA00808055
14. In an article in the Harvard Crimson, Mr. Dershowitz said that he would debate
mathematics, genetics, law, and psychology with Mr. Epstein and professor Steven
Kosslyn, and that in these discussions, they would all cut each other off all the time
"because we just get it." CORRECT.
15. Mr. Epstein would evaluate drafts of Mr. Dershowitz's books. Mr. Dershowitz has said
that Mr. Epstein was the only person outside his family whom he trusted to do this. I DID
16. After Lawrence Summers became president of Harvard in 2001, he flew to Palm Beach
on Mr. Epstein's plane and stayed at his mansion. In 2003, Mr. Epstein pledged thirty
million dollars to Harvard to create the Epstein Program for Mathematical Biology and
Evolutionary Dynamics. To lead it, he recruited Martin Nowak, a biologist from
Princeton University. Mr. Dershowitz became a Faculty Affiliate of the program.
17. In January 2007, the evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers was scheduled to receive the
Crafoord Prize in biosciences. Mr. Nowak invited him to give a talk at the Epstein
Center, followed by dinner. That April, Mr. Trivers sent Mr. Dershowitz a letter that
criticized him for what Mr. Trivers viewed as an attack on Norman Finkelstein, and also
said that Mr. Dershowitz was a Nazi or Nazi-apologist for his stance on the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict.
18. On May 25, the day of his talk, Mr. Nowak, having arrived at Harvard, told Mr. Trivers
that he was cancelling the talk a planned celebration, under orders from someone he
would not identify. The reason given was that Mr. Trivers had called a Harvard professor
a Nazi. Mr. Trivers said that he later learned that the order came from Mr. Epstein, under
pressure from Mr. Dershowitz. (Mr. Dershowitz has denied this.) Mr. Trivers said that
Mr. Epstein later apologized for having stopped the talk, using the word "apology," and
Mr. Trivers now described them as friendly. In the summer of 2000, according to a
deposition by Juan Alessi, who managed Mr. Epstein's house in Palm Beach, Alessi was
driving Ghislaine Maxwell, Mr. Epstein's girlfriend, to Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago
EFTA00808056
resort, when they saw a girl walking from the main lobby toward the spa. Ms. Maxwell
approached the girl, a sixteen year old named
who was reading
a book on anatomy and massage therapy. Ms. Maxwell informed her that she knew
somebody who was looking for a travelling masseuse. This person was Mr. Epstein.
19. When
was dropped off at the house, there was a big hall table with pictures
of young nude girls, mixed in with those of celebrities and politicians. THESE
20. Ms. Maxwell led
upstairs to a suite where Mr. Epstein was lying, nude, and
showed
how to massage him. Ms. Maxwell then took off her clothing, and
instructed
to remove her clothing. Ms. Maxwell told
that it was
cute that she was wearing children's underwear. Ms. Maxwell then told
to
straddle Mr. Epstein, and
and Mr. Epstein had sex. Afterward, Mr. Epstein
told
that she "did a really good job," and gave her two hundred dollars.
21.
returned the next day, at Ms. Maxwell's invitation, and she became a regular
presence at the home. She was informed that she was to have sex with Mr. Epstein
several times a day, often along with Ms. Maxwell and other girls. She was subsequently
told that Mr. Epstein would also be lending her to other men. Ms. Maxwell told her that
she was expected to please these men in whatever way they wanted. THESE
22. Mr. Epstein told
to report back to him about what the men liked. In his New
York mansion, Mr. Epstein had also installed a video system that taped every room in the
house, which could allow Mr. Epstein to accumulate information to use as leverage
against the men. SHORTLY AFTER I WAS FALSEY ACCUSED IN 2014, I

23. Mr. Epstein used the girls under his control to bring in more girls. He preferred young
girls from difficult backgrounds who would be in need of money. The women around Mr.
Epstein were discouraged from speaking with one another.
24. Mr. Epstein owned nearly a dozen apartments in New York in a building on the Upper
East Side, where he kept what were called "semi-permanent" girls. AGAIN, THESE
25. In
case, Mr. Epstein paid her, paid for her apartment, and took her to New
York, London, Paris, Tangiers, and his private island. He told
that he was
powerful, that he owned the police department, and that he had friends who owed him
favors. Mr. Epstein was a donor to the Palm Beach Police Department for years.
26. In 2002, soon after
turned nineteen, Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell sent her to
Thailand for a three-week course in massage, and arranged for her to bring back a young
girl for Mr. Epstein. AGAIN, THESE ARE UNSUBSTANTIATED ALLEGATIONS
EXAMINATION.
27. In March 2005, a fourteen-year-old girl in Palm Beach described to the police that Mr.
Epstein had paid her three-hundred dollars for a massage, told her to take off her clothes,
and masturbated. THE WITNESS REFERRED TO CONFIRMED TO POLICE THAT
SHE LIED TO MR. EPSTEIN THAT SHE WAS 18 YEARS OLD, AND WAS TOLD
EFTA00808058
THAT IF SHE DID NOT LIE TO MR. EPSTEIN ABOUT BEING 18, SHE WOULD
28. The police soon began investigating Mr. Epstein for sexually abusing underage girls. The
case against Mr. Epstein would involve the testimony of dozens of young girls. Press
coverage included a list of famous men who travelled on Mr. Epstein's plane, the so-
called Lolita Express, to Little St. James, an island that Mr. Epstein owned in the
Caribbean.
29. When Mr. Epstein learned about the investigation, in the fall of 2005, he immediately
called Mr. Dershowitz, who established himself in the lead of a team of prominent
attorneys from New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Miami. I WAS NOT THE
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN MIAMI.

which Mr. Epstein's alleged victims recounted experiences with alcohol or marijuana and
wrote about sex. I NEVER PERSONALLY PREPARED OR DIRECTED THE

32. Florida State Attorney Barry Krischer helped Mr. Dershowitz arrange a meeting with
Joseph Recarey, the lead investigator in the case. Mr. Dershowitz presented the dossier as
evidence that the girls were not of high moral quality. I MET WITH MR. ICRISCHER
33. Mr. Dershowitz also raised questions about the police. He made a public-records request
to the police department for any paper bearing the name of Michael Reiter, the Palm
Beach police chief name, and began had private investigators perform background
investigations on Mr. Reiter. ENTIRELY FALSE. I NEVER RAISED QUESTIONS
34. For months, Mr. Reiter and Mr. Recarey were under constant surveillance, in which cars
followed them, their trash was searched, and investigators contacted Mr. Reiter's ex-wife.
Mr. Epstein has denied his involvement in this. In 2010, when Mr. Reiter testified about
the surveillance, in 2010, Mr. Epstein turned to his lawyer and said, "That wasn't us!" I

tried to misrepresent himself to one of the alleged victims as a police officer. Mr.
Dershowitz surmised that the woman was someone identified as M. in depositions. I

had alleged that he Mr. Epstein had forcibly penetrated her when she was a minor.
She told detectives that in 2003, when she was sixteen, a friend introduced her to Mr.
EFTA00808060
Epstein. The friend told her that in exchange for a massage she could earn enough money
for a camping trip in
that she wanted to go on. M. said that she returned to Mr.
Epstein's house hundreds of times, becoming his Mr. Epstein's favorite. She said that she
sometimes had non-penetrative sex with Mr. Epstein and one of his "semi-permanent"
girls,
whom Mr. Epstein was said to have bought from her parents in
Yugoslavia when she was about fifteen. M. said that Mr. Epstein would take naked
photographs of her and other girls and display the photographs in the house.
37. In a letter to Mr. Recarey, Mr. Dershowitz enclosed snippets gathered from M.'s
presence on social media. Mr. Dershowitz noted that MI. chose to go by the nickname
"pimp juice," and he noted that M. appeared to have a fascination with marijuana. Mr.
Dershowitz said that the two investigators who tried to speak with her were instructed
beforehand to take notes, out of feat that she was an accomplished drama student, who,
Mr. Dershowitz said, had misled others in the past and might try to do the same with the
investigators. Mr. Dershowitz suggested that M. motivation was money, to be "really
rich." IN MY NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY AND THE POLICE

38. In July 2006, Krischer, charged Mr. Epstein with one count of aggravated assault. There
was no mention of underage girls, nor a requirement to register as a sex offender, nor a
threat of jail time. IT WAS NOT KRISCHER WHO CHARGED MR. EPSTEIN. IT

40. In the fall of 2007, Mr. Epstein's legal team negotiated a non-prosecution agreement, in
which the federal government would throw out its indictment if Mr. Epstein pleaded to
two state felony charges, solicitation of prostitution and procuring minors for prostitution.
EFTA00808061
Mr. Epstein would also register as a sex offender and pay lawyers' fees for the victims
who sued him. The agreement also contained a clause that protected four of Mr. Epstein's
assistants, including
, from prosecution. In the final days of the
negotiations, an unusual provision was added that guaranteed immunity for "any potential
co-conspirators." I HAD NO INVOLVEMENT IN NEGOTIATING THE PROVISION,
OR GRANTING IMMUNITY TO ANY " CO-CONSPIRATORS". I HAD NO

41. Afterward, over nine months, Mr. Dershowitz and his team investigated prosecutors and
their families, attempting to disqualify them, in order to prove the prosecution was
tainted. The U.S. Attorney rejected these attempts. When officials at the Justice
Department ruled that the charges offered by Mr. Dershowitz's team were baseless, Mr.
Dershowitz's team went to more senior officials. Can you confirm that this description is
accurate? I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY INVESTIGATIONS OF PROSECUTORS

42. On June 30, 2008, with every alternative exhausted, Mr. Epstein pleaded guilty. He was
given an eighteen-month sentence in a county jail, and allowed to depart every day, on
work release, for an office that he had acquired nearby. At the office, Mr. Epstein
received visitors, and a policeman served them coffee. Mr. Epstein told a friend that he
was reading "De Profundis" in prison. Mr. Epstein was released after thirteen months.
43. In 2007, Ms. Maxwell called
who was living outside of Sydney. Ms.
Maxwell told
that Mr. Epstein was being investigated, and that if
refused to cooperate, she'd be "taken care of"

wouldn't speak to anyone, but she declined compensation. A few days later, Mr. Epstein
and his lawyer called to hear directly from her that she wouldn't be speaking to anyone.
44. In May 2009,
sued Mr. Epstein, aM.M.
In her complaint,
stated that she had been sexually abused by Mr. Epstein and also was "required to
be sexually exploited by Mr. Epstein's friends, including royalty, politicians,
academicians, businessmen.
45. Mr. Epstein eventually settled her suit, and those of many other victims.
46. In December, 2014,
filed a motion to join a suit attempting to overturn the
non-prosecution agreement. She claimed that Mr. Epstein had abused her, and had
trafficked her to powerful friends as a way of gaining influence over them. In her motion,
she named three men: Jean Luc Brunel; Prince Andrew, the Duke of York; and Mr.
Dershowitz. She said that she had sex with Mr. Dershowitz at least six times, in Mr.
Epstein's various residences, on his private island, in a car, and on his plane.

they could help arrange her admission at the Fashion Institute of Technology,
