Virginia, would it be a correct statement that there
7
were times that, that you left your daughter with
8
somebody else while you did things?
9
A. No, I took my daughter.
10
Q. When you went, when you went the one time
11
to the psychologist did you take your daughter with
12
you?
13
A. Yeah, I did.
14
Q. Okay. Because your daughter at that time
15
was less than a year old, right?
16
A. Yeah, she was young.
17
Q. All right. So having your daughter didn't
18
prevent you from going to a psychologist?
19
A. No. I mean, no, but it was too hard.
20
Q. Well, you, you went the one time, you took
21
her with you.
22
A. It was still hard.
23
Q. And I assume that at age less than one she
24
slept a fair amount of time?
25
A. Uh-huh
Page 23
1
A. I don't have any. Personally, I don't, I
2
didn't take any notes.
3
Q. Okay. Did the psychologist have any tasks
4
that she asked you to do? Like, sometimes a
5
psychologist will say, you know, write something out
6
or something like that.
7
A. No.
8
Q. So you have no documentary materials at
9
all concerning your visits with this psychologist?
10
A. No.
11
Q. Is there any record — other than your
12
insurance company which I assume paid for part of
13
this psychology visit.
14
A. Paid for all of it
15
Q. Paid for all of it. Is that — do you
16
have any other record from which you can determine
17
who this psychologist was?
18
A. No.
19
Q. Did the psychologist at your last meeting
20
advise that she didn't want to see you anymore and
21
that your sessions were done?
22
A. No, I just didn't go back.
23
Q. Okay. Why, why didn't you go back?
24
A. Because I have a two-year-old daughter, and
25
it's just hard for me to take the time to go.

Q. That is your daughter --

A. — she did, but she also had colic, so it was
not easy.
Q. Okay. But you'd done it once before. The
doctor, for example, didn't say, you don't come here
6
with your daughter?
A. No.
Q. The doctor didn't say, I don't want to see
you anymore?
A. No.
Q. You made the decision you weren't going to
go back?
A. Yeah.
Q. Okay. And your testimony is that in a
two-year period that you lived in Virginia, you
never left your daughter with anybody else?

A. So when she was there, she would watch my
3
daughter so my husband and I can go out, you know, and

spend some time together.

Q. Yeah.

A. But she wasn't there on the occasions of, you

problems you wanted to discuss with her, right?

17
Q. Let's talk now about the psychiatrist that
18
you said you saw in Virginia.
19
A. Yes.
20
Q. But first of all, let me go back and ask
21
you a question about the psychologist. How did you
22
select that female psychologist that you saw in
23
Virginia?
rovides -- they accept.
A. It was just offered through
page
25
that, you know, p
24
Page 27
military. He can work day, night, or mid check. I
don't know the exact schedule he was on at that point in
3
time, but day check is 6:00 to 2:30-3:00, depending on
4
what his boss wants to keep them. Mid-check is —
mid-check is all night long. I don't know the exact
6
time, but ifs all through the entire night until
7
morning. And then the night check is --1 think it's
8
like 2:00 or 3:00 to 11:00 at night.
9
Q. Okay. So either the mid check or the
10
night check, he was home during the day?
11
A. Yeah.
12
Q. All right. So, there were times during
13
this two-year period that your husband was home and
14
available to watch your daughter?
15
A. Yeah, but I wouldn't, you know, I wanted to go
16
with my husband.
17
Q. Well, these were visits that you went to
18
the psychology — you went alone, right?

A. Psychiatrist or —
20
Q. Psychologist
21
A. Psychologist?
22
Q. We're still on the psychologist.
23
A. Okay. The psychologist was also for our
24
marriage, so I wanted him to go with me most of the
25
time.

How does it make you feel now knowing

MR. LUITIER: Yeah, don't Just a yes or
3
no, but don't tell, I don't want to know --
4
THE WITNESS: I'm sorry.
5
MR. LUTITER: About the substance of your
6
conversation.
7
THE WITNESS: All right.
8
MR. LUITIER: One of the reasons why Pm
9
asking you this is we have these
10
interrogatories where we ask you information,
11
and, and had I known who these doctors were, I
12
would have had their records beforehand, and
13
would be able to ask you about information
14
based on the records. And in our rules there
15
is a duty to continue to disclose these people.
16
And I, just for the record, Stuart, you
17
know, I've got, Pm up to six that I don't know
18
anything about, otherwise I would have these
19
records. And I think there's that duty to
20
disclose. And I know we are under some time
21
things. I'm trying to — I was going to try to
22
get it done, but...
23
MR. MERMELSTEIN: I, I understand that,
24
and I realized when you were going through with
25
it in the first hour.
Page 83
Q. a
1.
2
A. Yes, I'm pretty sure.
2
3
Q. And, and when did you go to see
3
4
Dr. Milln
4
5
A. 11, it was a trip I took with my mother. She
5
6
was still living in South Carolina. I don't recall
6
7
exactly when it was.
7
8
Q. Well, it had to be before 2003, right?
8
9
A. Yes.
9
10
Q. And, what do you mean, it was a trip you
10
11
took with your mom?
11
12
A. She went to go see him in Memphis, Tennessee.
12
13
and she wanted me to go with her.
13
14
Q. Now, this — how, how is it that you
14
15
recall this physician's name who you saw sometime
15
16
before 2003, and you know his name but you don't
16
17
know the names of these other physicians that you've
17
18
seen since then?
18
19
A. Because I found his book the other day in my
19
20
house.
20
21
Q. Have you provided his name to your lawyer?
21
22
A. Actually, yesterday.
22
23
Q. Is there

24
MR. MERMELSTEIN: Don't talk about

anything else you've discussed with your
25
Page 85
MR. LUITIER: Okay.
MR. MERMELSTEIN: I don't I don't know if
it's six or not. I wasn't —
MR. LUTTIER: Yeah.
MR. MERMELSTEIN: — counting to that
extent, but yeah, I am aware that there are
psychological professionals, health care
professionals that need to be disclosed.
MR LUFTIER: Yeah, because I tried to
get -- the idea was to get -- I subpoenaed all
the records that I knew to try, so that I would
have them here so that I could go through this.
And Pm now going to have to obviously get
those records, and I may have to still do some
other stuff. Okay.
MR. MERMELSTEIN: I understand.
BY MR. LUITIER:
Q. All right. Let me go back to Dr. =.
Okay. So, you say you recently found aWof his
in your house?

7
A. It was — I'm going to say it was, like, maybe
8
the middle of the year, I guess.

the year, at the time you' had this confrontation

A. It would go off and on.
14
Q. Okay, but you had been off and on for a
15
period of months?
16
A. Yes. Like, it wouldn't be like we were
17
definitely together. We'd, you know, hang out for a

couple of days, and then if we had sex, we did, and we
19
wouldn't talk I mean, it was, it was a very confusing
20
relationship with him.

your sexuality that it was acceptable to you to have

A. I don't remember exactly when he told me.
Q. What's your best estimate?
A. Probably he accidentally admitted it to me
over either the summer going into my senior year or the
beginning of my senior year.
Q. What do you mean, "he accidently admitted
A. He slipped when he actually was drinking one
night and told me that he had asked his mom to take him
to get checked because the condom broke and he was
scared that he might have something. And that's when I
said, really, so you did have sex with
Q. Let me guess, the rest of the conversation
didn't go well.
A. No, no, not really.
Q. Were you a bit upset when —
A. Well, I was upset.
Q. — so you sort of cornered him into that
or —
A. No, I — he, he just came out and said that.
I don't..

when he made these comments to you and you said,
then you did have sex with

MR. MERMELSIEIN: Form.

BY MR. LUTTIER:
Q. Or Is there always that suspicion in the
9
back of your mind?
10
A. Yes, there's always a suspicion in the back of
11
my mind.
12
Q. Okay. Because he had made a specific
13
straight-out representation to you when you
14
confronted him that it didn't happen.
15
A. Yes.

Q. Now, when she said she had to get, that he
20
had asked his mom to get him checked, had, did he
21
tell you if the reason he had to get checked was
22
because he had some kind of symptoms or something
23
that he was worried about?
24
A. No. He was just worried because the condom
25
broke.
Page 175
know, throughout the rest of the year, you know, that
2
they knew and they found out. And my reaction, I mean,
3
I already 'mew it regardless if he admitted it or not
4
When he admitted it, I was just like he's just a liar
5
that didn't tell me the truth. I was upset.
6
Q. So certainly that caused you at that
7
point — did that cause you at that point to, to
8
have some level of distrust with him?
9
A. Yes.
10
Q. Because he had denied something that you
11
had specifically asked him about, right?
12
A. Yeah.
13
Q. You thought you and he had a, a romantic
14
relationship that was exclusive to the two of you.
15
A. Yes
16.
Q. And then you found out he lied to you.
17
A. Yes.
18
Q. Do you think that contributed a little bit
19
to your, some of your marital problems down the
20
road?
21
MR. MERMELSTEIN: Pam.
22
THE WITNESS: It could. It, it could be
23
some of it. I mean, 'don't — I wish I knew
24
what caused our problems, but, I mean, that's
25
part of it.
Page 177
1
Q. Well, what would he get checked for
2
because a condom broke?
3
A. I guess just berm CP you use a condom so much,
4
and if it breaks you just get scared.
5
Q. Well, that would be scared primarily of
6
pregnancy, right?
7
A. Well, that was one of the issues also that I
8
found out later.
9
Q. Well, he wasn't getting checked. He
10
wasn't worried about him being pregnant
11
A. No, but he was also getting checked just
12
because the penis touched the vagina and, you know, if,
13
you don't know what people have.
14
Q. Well, was there some issue about whether
15
M. had any kind of sexually transmitted disease?
16
A. No.
17
Q. Did he indicate to you that he had any
18
symptomatology that caused him to think that maybe
19
he should get checked?
20
A. No.
21
Q. When you — did there come a time that you
22
confronted II. about the fact that she had denied
23
that she had had sex with the, the fellow that
24
became your husband?

A. I confronted her, like I said, in the parking

They both denied it And at first I
believed them, but then I had more people telling me
that it was true. So I don't remember how this
happened, but she ended up moving to Fort Lauderdale
when, you know, I had enough people telling me that they
actually did have sex, and I lost it on her, and she
still denied it when she moved away. But after that I
don't, I don't recall her ever -- me and her ever
talking about it and admitting it.
Q. Okay. What -- when did you first meet
MI?
A. O
That was middle school. I met her
at
I think my middle school was
called in Wellington, when I moved with my father. But
I wasn't friends with her in middle school. I just knew
of her.
Q. When did you become friends with her?

my freshman.

12
Q. Well, if you want us to — let's just
13
start — let me, let me back it up.
14
There came a point in time that you
15
heard something about somebody named Mr. Epstein; is
16
that right?
17
A. Correct.
18
Q. When did you full hear of Mr. Epstein?
19
A. It was in high school.
20
Q. When in high school?
21
A. I'm going to say my sophomore year.
22
Q. Okay. When in your sophomore year?
23
A. I'm approximating because I don't know the
24
exact date, but probably in the beginning.
25
Q. Okay. "Beginning" meaning in the first
Page 193
1
Q. -- that would be sometime after August of
2
'02?
3
A. Yes.
4
Q. And when you said the beginning, what do
5
you mean, August, September, October, or...
6
A. I don't know which month. It was in the
7
beginning of the school year.
8
Q. Within the first couple months?
9
A. Probably.
10
Q. So August or September would be a fair
11
estimate?
12
A. Yes, I mean, I had, yes.
13
Q. Okay. So August or September of'02, what
14
is it you first hear about Mr. Epstein?
15
A. I don't know exactly what I heard. I just
16
heard something about, if you go to this man, Jeffrey
17
Epstein's house, and you give him a body massage, you
18
get $200.
19
Q. And in this first occasion that you heard
20
about it, was — did Mr. Epstein's name come up, or
21
were you just told, if you go to somebody's house
22
someplace you can get some money?
23
A. It was probably somebody's place; it wasn't
24
his specific name probably.
25
Q. Before you first went to Mr. Epstein's

house for the first time, did you know his name?
2
A. Before -- yes, before I went to his house.
3
Q. So, at some point before you went there
4
for the first time, you knew that you were going to
5
go see somebody named Jeffrey Epstein.
6
A. Correct.
7
Q. Do you recall when it was you first heard
a
his name?
9
A. No, l don't recall that.
10
Q. Do you know it if you heard his name in
11
the first conversation about making some money doing
12
a massage, or was it in a later conversation? Do
13
you understand my question?
14
A. I understand your question. I just —
15
Q. In other words, were you, did you
16
initially just hear, you know, nunor, for lack of a
17
better -- that you could go give somebody a massage
18
for $200, or was it you go give Mr. Epstein a
19
massage for $200?
20
A. I think it was somebody a massage.
21
Q. Okay. And, and did you understand where
22
it was going to be, what town?
23
A. No, I didn't have all the specifics on it.
24
Q. So, so your best recollection today is
25
sometime in August, September, October of '02,
Page 196
1
or not —
2
A. Yes, l am.
3
Q. Just, if you're, if you're just
4
speculating and guessing, just, just — it would be
5
better to tell me you don't know.
6
A. Okay.
7
Q. All right. But if you, if you have a
8
specific recollection, tell me.
9
A. Okay.
10
Q. But if it's — if you just don't recall,
11
there's nothing wrong with just saying you don't
12
recall.
13
A. Okay.
14
Q. All right. So I want to be fair to you.
15
I don't want you to speculate.
16
A. Okay.
17
Q. What happened — what did you do after you
18
heard this conversation for the first time?
19
A. I believe I mentioned it to
21
Q. And what did you tell
21
A. That I was interested in going there, but I
22
warned her to come with me.
23
Q. Well, had
when — do you recall
24
whether or not,
you first mentioned it to.,
25
5
had heard anything about it?
Page 195
1
somebody told you that you could give somebody a
2
massage and get $200.
3
A. Yes.
4
Q. Is there anything more you can recall
5
about the first time you became aware of anything
6
that was related to Mr. Epstein?
7
A. With that conversation, with somebody telling
me about —
Q. Yeah, was that the first time you heard
anything about any of it?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Anything else you can recall about
the conversation?
A. No.
Q. Do you know who told you this?
A. No.
Q. Was it while you were at school that you
heard this?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Do you know if the person that told
you was someone that had done that?
A. Most likely.
Q. But you can't tell me?
A. I don't know who it was, though.
Q. So you're, you're sort of guessing whether
Page 197
1
A. I don't recall.
2
Q. When did you form the opinion that you
3
wanted to follow up on this manor that you had
4
beard?
5
A. I don't {MOW who told me, but the person that
6
did tell me made it seem like it was just, you go there,
7
you give him a massage, you get $200. And to me $200,1
8
was hike, yeah, why not.
9
Q. And do you blow how long it was from the
10
time you first heard it that you approached •
11
about doing it?
12
A. I don't recall. I don't know.
13
Q. Okay. So you were — you — did you
14
approach anybody other than 5?
15
A. No.
16
Q. So you go to 5. and you tell her, I
17
heard this story that 1, we can go make $200 giving
18
somebody a massage?
19
A. Yes.
21
Q. Did you tell her anything more at that
21
time?
22
A.
23
Q.
24
A.
25
Q.
That's all --
Did you know where it was going to be?
No.
Did you know it was going to be in Palm
50 (Pages 194 to 197)
EFTA01076433
Page 198
1
Beach?
2
A. No. I don't even know how 1 found out it was
3
in Palm Beach. It was — the person that told me about
4
it, I don't, I don't recall exactly what hmp_ened. But
5
somehow when I decided to go there, M,
6
Jeffrey Epstein's assistant, contacted me and was the
7
one that set up the reservations.
8
And after this, can I take, lb
9
sony, another break to use the restroom?

it, but —
Q. Okay. What is it that you recall that
causes you to say that you know it was along those
lines?

questioned it when I made that statement. She was
curious about the situation.

told you about this opportunity, did you ever have a
conversation with that unnamed person again about

A. Like I said weviously, I don't recall if I
