MR. KUVIN: Okay. Same deposition as shown
before, different clip. I'm going to play it for
counsel first.
MR. PIKE: Thank you.
MR. KUVIN: Mr. Videographer, just let me know
when you're ready.
THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Whenever you are.
MR. KUVIN: Okay.
(Video played.)
VIDEO WITNESS: "What did I do to Jeffrey and
what did Jeffrey do to me? I went up there
multiple times; I can't count. And I would be on a
massage table, massaging his legs, he would turn
over, his penis would be hanging out. He would put
a vagina -- or a vibrator to my vagina. He would
touch my vagina with his fingers. He would touch
my breasts. He would try to kiss my mouth. He
would bring my hands toward his penis."
(Video stopped.)
MR. KUVIN: Okay.
MR. PIKE: I'm just going to object to the use
of the video as to relevance, predicate and
foundation.
BY MR. KUVIN:
Q.
All right. Let me get it back to the same
location.
Sir, first of all,
lay the foundation for this,
A.
I'm going to have
the same way I've responded
questions here today, which
once again, just so I can
do you recognize this girl?
to respond to that question
to most of your other
is, I intend to respond to
all relevant cannot provide answers to any questions
relevant to this lawsuit; however, at the present time,
my attorneys have counseled me I cannot provide answers
to any questions relevant to the lawsuit. I must accept

effective representation. Accordingly, I assert my
federal constitutional rights as guaranteed by the 5th,
6th and 14th Amendment to the United States

Q.
Did this girl bring §§§. to your home for a
naked massage?
A.
I'm going to have to respond to that the same
way I've responded to most of your other questions here
today, which is, I intend to respond to all relevant
questions regarding this lawsuit; however, at the
present time, my attorneys have counseled me I cannot
provide answers to any questions that may be relevant to
the lawsuit. I must accept this advice or risk losing
my 6th Amendment right to effective representation.
Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights
as guaranteed by the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment to the
United States Constitution.
EFTA01158590
23
Q.
I'd like to play this clip for you and then
24
I'm going to ask you a question.
25
MR. PIKE: The same clip you just played?
0178
1
MR. KUVIN: Exactly.
2
MR. PIKE: Same objection.

(Video played.)

VIDEO WITNESS: "What did I do to Jeffrey and
5
what did Jeffrey do to me? I went out there
6
multiple times; I can't count. And I would be on a
7
massage table, massaging his legs. He would turn
8
over, his penis would be hanging out. He would put
9
a vagina -- or vibrator to my vagina. He would
10
touch my vagina with his fingers. He would touch
11
my breasts. He would try to kiss my mouth. He
12
would bring my hands toward his penis."
13
(Video stopped.)
14
BY MR. KUVIN:
15
Q.
Did you do that with that girl?
16
MR. PIKE: Form.
17
THE WITNESS: I intend to respond to all
18
relevant questions regarding this lawsuit; however,
19
at the present time, my attorneys have counseled me
20
I cannot provide answers to any questions that may
21
be relevant to this lawsuit. I must accept this
22
advice or risk losing my 6th Amendment right to
23
effective representation. Accordingly, I must
24
assert my federal constitutional rights as
25
guaranteed by the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment to
0179
1
the United States Constitution.
2
BY MR. KUVIN:
3
Q.
Did you do what that young lady described just
4
now to hundreds of women, including III.?
5
MR. PIKE: Form, argumentative, harassing,
6
lacks appropriate predicate, foundation, lacks
7
identity.
8
THE WITNESS: Excuse me. I'm going to respond
9
to that the same way I've responded to most of your
10
other questions here today, which is, I intend to
11
respond to all relevant questions regarding this
12
lawsuit; however, at the present time, my attorneys
13
have counseled me that I cannot provide answers to
14
any questions relevant to the lawsuit. I must
15
accept their advice or risk losing my 6th Amendment
16
right to effective representation. Accordingly, I
17
must assert my federal constitutional rights as
18
guaranteed by the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment to
19
the United States Constitution.
20
BY MR. KUVIN:
21
Q.
While §§§. was standing naked in your home,
22
specifically in your bathroom, did you tell her that you
23
could get her an interview as a model because of your
24
connections?
25
A.
I'm going respond to that the same way I've
0180
1
responded to most of your questions today, Spencer. I
2
intend to respond to all relevant questions regarding
3
this lawsuit; however, at the present time, my attorneys
4
have counseled me I cannot provide answers to any
5
questions that may be relevant to the lawsuit. I must
6
accept this advice or risk losing my 6th Amendment right
7
to effective representation. Accordingly, I must assert
EFTA01158591
8
my federal constitutional right as guaranteed by the
9
5th, 6th and 14th Amendment to the United States
10
Constitution.
11
MR. PIKE: Same objection to that line of
12
questioning.
13
BY MR. KUVIN:
14
Q.
As §§§. was standing naked in your bathroom
15
before you when she was 15, did you ask her to turn
16
around so you could see her ass better?
17
MR. PIKE: Form, argumentative, harassing,
18
lacks appropriate predicate, foundation.
19
THE WITNESS: I'll respond to that as I
20
responded to your last question, which is, I intend
21
to respond to all relevant questions regarding this
22
lawsuit; however, at the present time, my attorneys
23
have counseled me I cannot provide answers to any
24
questions that may be relevant to this lawsuit. I
25
must accept their advice or risk losing my 6th
0181
1
Amendment right to effective representation;
2
therefore, I must assert my federal constitutional
3
rights as guaranteed by the 5th, 6th and 14th
4
Amendment to the United States Constitution.
5
BY MR. KUVIN:
6
Q.
When III. was 15 years old and standing naked
7
in front of you in your bathroom, did you tell her that
8
you could help her become a model?
9
MR. PIKE: Same objections, including
10
foundation.
11
THE WITNESS: Is it different than the last
12
question?
13
MR. KUVIN: Uh-huh.
14
MR. GOLDBERGER: Just go ahead.
15
THE WITNESS: Okay. I intend to respond to
16
all relevant questions pertaining to this lawsuit;
17
however, at the present time, my attorneys have
18
counseled me I cannot provide answers to any
19
questions that may be relevant to this lawsuit, so
20
I've answered most questions here today the same
21
way. I must expect that -- accept their advice or
22
risk losing my 6th Amendment right to effective
23
representation. Accordingly, I assert my federal
24
constitutional rights as guaranteed by the 5th, 6th
25
and 14th Amendment to the United States

Q.
Who is Ghislaine Maxwell?
A.
I intend to respond to all relevant questions
regarding this lawsuit; however, at the present time, my
attorneys have counseled me that I cannot provide
answers to any questions relevant to this lawsuit. As I
have done to most of your other questions here today, I
must accept their advice or risk losing my 6th Amendment
right to effective representation. Accordingly, I
assert my federal constitutional rights as guaranteed by
the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment to the United States

BY MR. KUVIN:

And who is she standing with?
25
A.
Her father.

Q.
I'm sorry, he's passed, correct?

Correct.
5
Q.
She is a close friend of yours, is she not?
6
A.
I'm going to respond to that question the same
7
way I've responded to most of your other questions here
8
today, Mr. Kuvin, which is, I intend to respond to all
9
relevant questions regarding to this lawsuit; however,
10
at the present time, my attorneys have counseled me I
11
cannot provide answers to any questions that may be

relevant to this lawsuit. I must expect -- accept their
13
advice or risk losing my 6th Amendment right to
14

16
6th and 14th Amendment to the United States
17
Constitution.
18
Q.
Ghislaine Maxwell has accompanied you to
19
numerous social events in the last few years; isn't that
20
true?
21
MR. PIKE: Form.
22
THE WITNESS: I'm going to respond to that
23
question the same way I've responded to most of
24
your questions here today, which is, I intend to
25
respond to all relevant questions regarding your
0184
1
lawsuit; however, at the present time, my attorneys
2
have counseled me I cannot provide answers to any
3
questions that may be relevant to that lawsuit. I
4
must accept their advice or risk losing my 6th
5
Amendment right to effective representation.
6
Accordingly, I must assert my federal
7
constitutional right as guaranteed by the 5th, 6th
8
and 14th Amendment of the United States
9
Constitution.
10
BY MR. KUVIN:
11
Q.
One of your houseboys that has been deposed in
12
this case testified that you were a rather nice
13
gentleman that used to talk to the staff, and that when
14
Ms. Maxwell came into the picture, that you stopped
15
talking to the staff and the staff had to communicate
16
through Ms. Maxwell. Do you agree or disagree with
17
that?
18
MR. PIKE: Form, foundation, predicate,
19
argumentative, assumes facts not in evidence.
20
THE WITNESS: I'm going to answer that the
21
same way I've answered most of your questions here
22
today, which is, I intend to respond to all
23
relevant questions regarding this lawsuit; however,
24
at the present time, my attorneys have counseled me
25
that I cannot provide answers to any questions that
0185
1
may be relevant to your lawsuit. I must accept
2
their advice or risk losing my 6th Amendment right
3
to effective representation. Accordingly, I assert
EFTA01158593
4
my federal constitutional rights as guaranteed by
5
the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment of the United
6
States Constitution.
7
BY MR. KUVIN:
8
Q.
He also testified that he felt you were a
9
rather normal guy until Ms. Maxwell came into the
10
picture, and that she led you into this life of
11
perversion, sexual perversion. Do you agree with that?
12
MR. PIKE: Same objections.
13
THE WITNESS: I'm going to respond to that the
14
same way I've responded to most of your questions
15
here today, Mr. Kuvin, which is, I intend to
16
respond to all relevant questions regarding this
17
lawsuit; however, at the present time, my attorneys
18
have counseled me I cannot provide answers to any

questions relevant to this lawsuit. I must accept

their advice or risk losing my 6th Amendment --
21
excuse me -- I must accept their advice or risk

MR. KUVIN:
Q.
Did Ms. Maxwell procure underaged girls for
you to have sexual relationships with?
A.
I'm going to answer that question the same way
I've answered most of your other questions today,
Mr. Kuvin, which is, I intend to respond to all relevant
questions regarding this lawsuit; however, at the
present time, my attorneys have counseled me I cannot
provide answers to any questions relevant to that
lawsuit. Excuse me. I must accept their advice or risk
losing my 6th Amendment right to effective
representation. Accordingly, I must assert my federal
constitutional rights as guaranteed -- guaranteed by the
5th, 6th and 14th Amendments to the United States
Constitution.
Q.
Ms. Maxwell procured a particular underaged
who worked at Donald Trump's Maralago, for you to
a sexual relationship with; isn't that true?
MR. PIKE: Form, argumentative, lacks
appropriate predicate, foundation, assumes facts
not in evidence.
THE WITNESS: I'm going to respond to that the
same way I've responded to most of your other
questions here today, Mr. Kuvin, which is, I intend

3
Q.
Have you seen the high school transcripts
4
grades of girls that you have had sexual relationships
5
with dating back to 2005?
6
MR. PIKE: Form, relevance, improper
7
hypothetical, lacks facts -- assumes facts not in
8
evidence, lacks appropriate predicate, foundation.
9
THE WITNESS: I'm going to answer that
10
question the same as I've answered most of your
11
other questions here today, Mr. Kuvin, which is, I
12
intend to respond to all relevant questions
13
regarding this lawsuit; however, at the present
14

24
which were found in your trash on Palm Beach that showed
25
the ages of some of the girls you were engaged with
0189
1
sexual acts with at your home came from your house?
2
MR. PIKE: Same objection in addition to
3
argumentative and harassing.
4
THE WITNESS: I intend to respond to all
5
relevant questions regarding this lawsuit; however,
6
as I've done with most of your other questions
7

Q.
Did you have numerous photos of nude young
18
women, girls under the age of 18, back in your home
19
in -- on Palm Beach Island in 2005 and 2006?

question the same way I've responded to most of

A.
I'm going to answer that question the same way

And how were they provided to you?
21
MR. PIKE: Form.
22
THE WITNESS: Sometimes they would come in a
23
bag.
24
BY MR. KUVIN:
25
Q.
Okay. And did you determine whether or not
0211
1
the form you filled out, the information or the product
2
that you put on that form actually was provided?
3
A.
No, never.
4
Q.
If we look at the items that are contained
5
within these receipts, I'd like you to go, if you would,
6
to the second invoice here dated 7/15/08. The third
7
item down is a Lubriderm lotion.
8
A.
Yes.
9
Q.
Do you see that?
10
A.
Yes.
11
Q.
Did you purchase that?
12
A.
It appears so.
13
Q.
Did you receive it?
14
A.
I don't remember.
15
Q.
Did you use the Lubriderm lotion that you
16
received or that you may have received in jail?
17
MR. PIKE: Form.
18
BY MR. KUVIN:
19
Q.
Let me strike that and re-ask it.
20
A.
Okay.
EFTA01158604
21
Q.
Did you use the Lubriderm lotion which you had
22
purchased from the jail while you were there?
23
A.
I might have.
24
Q.
What for?
25
A.
To moisturize my hands and face.
0212
1
Q.
Okay. Did you use Lubriderm lotion while you
2
were in jail to masturbate at all?
3
A.
No.
4
MR. PIKE: Form objection, harassing.
5
THE WITNESS: Absolutely not.
6
BY MR. KUVIN:
7
Q.
It appears, if you would turn to 7/29/08,
8
which is approximately two weeks later, and the second
9
thing down is another bottle of Lubriderm lotion. Do
10
you see that?
11
A.
Yes.
12
Q.
What did you use that for?
13
MR. PIKE: Asked and answered.
14
MR. KUVIN: It's a second bottle.
15
MR. PIKE: It's the same question, Spencer.
16
Can we get to something relevant?
17
THE WITNESS: No problem.
18
MR. PIKE: He can answer.
19
THE WITNESS: My hands and my face.
20
BY MR. KUVIN:
21
Q.
Okay.
22
A.
I believe the first bottle went missing.
23
Q.
If we turn to approximately one month later on
24
8/21/08, do you have that one?
25
A.
Yes.
0213
1
Q.
All right. On that occasion, you bought two
2
bottles of hand lotion again.
3
A.
Yes.
4
Q.
What did you use those for?
5
A.
Nothing.
6
Q.
What did you do with them?
7
A.
They were bought by accident.
8
Q.
How did you buy them by accident?
9
A.
Because you fill out a check form and
10
sometimes the forms don't make any sense, they just
11
deliver in other things.
12
Q.
Sir, did you get those two bottles?
13
A.
Yes. Yes.
14
Q.
And you never used them?
15
A.
No. I threw them away.
16
Q.
Okay. If we turn to 9/9/08, do you see that
17
entry?
18
A.
Yes.
19
Q.
All right. And another invoice here, on that
20
date a bottle of hand lotion, do you see that?
21
A.
Yes, I do.
22
Q.
Did you get it?
23
A.
I don't know.
24
Q.
Do you know if you used it?
25
A.
Definitely not.
0214
1
Q.
How do you know you definitely did not use it?
2
A.
Because it was not -- anything that said hand
3
lotion I did not use, I threw in the garbage.
4
Q.
Why is that?
5
A.
Because it wasn't something that I had

Q.
Do you see there is an entry for two more
bottles of hand lotion. Do you see that?
A.
Correct.
Q.
What did you do with those?
A.
To the best of my knowledge, I threw them
right away.
Q.
You didn't use them for anything?
A.
No.
Q.
Is it your testimony here today that you did
not use any of the bottles of hand lotion or Lubriderm
lotion that we had previously just gone through to
masturbate while you were in jail?
A.
That's correct.

Did Ghislaine Maxwell visit you in jail?

MR. KUVIN: It's not an exhibit. It's the

Town of Palm Beach Incident Report with respect to
13
Jeffrey Epstein, of which I gave you a copy before.
14
And that was referencing, just so the record is
15
clear, page 46.

6
MR. GOLDBERGER: I think we clarified that.
7
Ms. Ezell, are you there?

questions.

22
cross notice this deposition and/or your clients.
23
So what is your purpose of sitting in on this
24
deposition?
25
MS. EZELL: Well, I received a notice of it,
0248
1
and I just thought I would listen to it while I was
2
doing some other work. And I don't know why it
3
would be a closed proceeding.
EFTA01158619
4
MR. PIKE: Discovery proceedings are closed if
5
it's a pre-trial discovery, ma'am, it's not a court
6
proceeding.

Nonetheless, do you have any questions for the
8
witness?
9
MS. EZELL: No, I don't.

behalf of? Which clients?
