Deposition excerpts claim Jeffrey Epstein victims lied about age and deny illegal activity

Deposition excerpts claim Jeffrey Epstein victims lied about age and deny illegal activity The passage repeats defense arguments that alleged victims were over 18 or lied about their age, and that no federal prosecution was pursued. It mentions the USAO and SAO but provides no new concrete evidence, names, dates, or financial transactions linking powerful actors. The lead is of low investigative value and lacks novelty. Key insights: Claims that victims were 16‑17 or younger but lied about age to Epstein; Allegation that Epstein asked women to confirm they were 18 before providing massages; Statement that no interstate commerce, coercion, or commercial enterprise was involved
