head or shake your head, and she can't take that down.
2
A
All right
3
O It's also very easy to say uh-huh or huh-uh,
4
but it kind of looks the same on paper, so you can't do
5
that either. I'm going to wait until you finish your
6
answer, and you have to wait until I finish my question,
7
because if we talk over one another, then the court
8
reporter can't get it down.
9
A Okay. Yes, sir.
10
O All right. So if you don't understand the
n
questiOn, sell me you don't understand and I'll try to
12
ask a better question.
13
A
Yes.
14
O Okay. So you were hired in November ol 2004
15
to be the housekeeper for Mr. Epstein?
16
A
Yes.
17
0
And when you were hired, who exactly hired
10
you, who — let me strike that.
19
When you were hired to be the housekeeper for
20
Mr. Epstein, who did you interview with?
21
A Ms. Maxwell.
22
O Is that Ghislaine Maxwell or just
23
Leine Maxwell?
24
A
Ghislaine Maxwell.
25
O And where did the interview take place?
11
1
that it's clean and appropriately. what's this...
2
O And as I understand this property, there is a
3
main house and then there's also a staff house on the
4
property. is that right?
A Yeast
6
O And when the guests would come over, would you
7
stay in the main house. or would you go to the staff
8
house?

25
Can we get a time frame to the
question?
BY MR. -
O Over the last five yews while you worked
there.
A I usually stay in the staff house and do the
laundry, then I go to the kitchen and then tidy the
kitchen.
O You were hired in November of 2004. and what
were your hours that you worked there back in November
of 2004 when you were hired?
A Eight to five.
O How many days a week?
A Depends.
O Flow would the schedule be relayed to you?
A When Mr. Epstein is there, then I'm supposed
to report, but usually it's live days a week.
10
1
A At 358 El Belo Way.
2
O And what did Ms. Maxwell and you speak about
3
prior to your being hired as the housekeeper'?
4
A My duties.
O And what did she tell you your duties would
6
be?
7
A To tidy, to make beds, do laundry
8
O Did she tell you what would take ptace in the
9
house on a day-to-day basis?
10
A No.
11
O So going into that position, you had no idea
12
who the guests would be or who the people Coming in the
13
house would be, or what would generally go on?
14
A Can you simplify the question?
15
O Sure. When you talked about with
16
Ghlslaine Maxwell at this interview, your duties being
17
you would make the bed and tidy up, did she also tell
103
you that there would be a lot of guests, there would be
19
a few guests, did she talk to you about that at all?
20
A
She mentioned Petri there are guests, we
21
have to, like, you know, prepare the room, and, what's
22
this. attend to the guests.
23
O And what did you understand that to mean that
24
you have to attend to the guests?
25
A You have to prepare the room and see to it

O So am I correct in understanding that there
was one schedule when Mr. Epstein was in town, and the
schedule may be a little bit different it Mr. Epstein
was out of town?
A
Yes, sir.
O All right. Tell me the differences when
Mr. Epstein Is in town versus when Mr. Epstein was not
in town.
A If he stays like three or four days, then I'm
supposed to be there. and then the house is to be
cleaned. And then when they do not come, then I can
either go there, or I'm gven free days off.
Cr
Three days off?
A
No. A free day.
o
Oh. okay. But typically back in 2004 when you
were hired, you worked an average of about five days a
week; is that correct?
A Yes.
o
All right. And I guess by the way that you're
explaining it, of Mr. Epstein was in town for a longer
period of time, you may work more than five days. and if
Mr. Epstein was not in town, you may work less than five
days?
A
YOS.
o
Okay. Did you ever talk to Mr. Epstein prior
