Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
In this episode, we're going to pick up right where
we left off with the SDNY Rule fifty six dot
one court document the defendants purported Facts forty four. From
August two thousand and one until September two thousand and two,
Epstein and Maxwell were almost entirely absent from Florida on
documented travel unaccompanied by Miss Roberts. Flight logs maintained by
Epstein's private pilot, David Rogers evidenced the substantial number of
trips away from Florida that Epstein and Maxwell took unaccompanied
by Miss Roberts between August two thousand and one and
September of two thousand and two, Rogers maintaining a log
of all flights on which Epstein and Maxwell traveled with them.
Epstein additionally traveled with another pilot who did not keep
such logs, and he also occasionally traveled via commercial flights.
For substantially all of thirteen months of the twenty two
months from November two thousand until September two thousand and
two that Miss Roberts lived in Palm Beach and New Epstein,
Epstein was traveling outside of Florida unaccompanied by Miss Roberts.
During the same period of time, Miss Roberts was employed
at various jobs, enrolled in school, and living with her boyfriend.
Miss Roberts statement controverting the defendant's facts. The flight logs
produced in this matter provide substantative evidence of Miss Roberts
travel in the control of Defendant and Epstein, but are
clearly incomplete. Moreover, Miss Roberts also was flown by defendant
on commercial flights seemalculi declaration at Exhibit five. Robert's deposition
at one fifty five through five and eleven. Miss Roberts
disputes defendant statement to the contrary as reliance upon incomplete
records to prove that Miss Roberts was not, in fact
in the presence of Defendant and Epstein is insufficient. Miss
Roberts incorporates additional details contained in re spons thirty eight
and forty six here in Miss roberts obvious gap in
her school records, her presence verified by Epstein's pilot on
flight logs and witness testimony corroborate her story that she
was traveling with defendant and Epstein. In fact, flight logs
and pilot testimony clearly proved that Miss Roberts was flying
domestic and internationally with Epstein at least thirty two times
between twelve eleven of two thousand and seven, twenty eight
of two thousand and one and six twenty one of
two and eight twenty one of two. Defendant traveling with
Miss Roberts on twenty three of the flights, as Defendant
acknowledges in her own statement, flight records are incomplete. There
are several pilots and co pilots at FLEU Epstein and
Maxwell Lawrence Larry Vessoski, David Dave Rogers, Bill Hammond, Pete
rathkeb Gary Rocksburg, and Bill Murphy in multiple aircrafts, yet
only one pilot, David Rodgers, produced flight records see McCauley
declaration at Exhibit forty one David Rogers flight log. In addition,
many of the girls recruited by defendant routinely traveled on
commercial flights for the purpose of providing massages to Epstein
or guests at Epstein's New York, New Mexico, or US
Virgin Island homes see McCauley declaration at Exhibit sixteen. As
thoroughly depicted below. Miss roberts passport application, travel records and
witness testimony clearly demonstrate flight logs are incomplete because only
one pilot kept a log, and Miss Roberts also flew
commercially while she worked for defendant and Epstein. For example,
on December eleventh, two thousand, while underage, Miss Roberts appears
on Rogers' flight log flight number fourteen thirty three traveling
with Epstein, Maxwell, and Emmy Taylor from Palm Beach to Teeterborough.
Then on December fourteenth, two thousand and one, continues traveling
with Epstein and Maxwell to the US virgin Islands. However,
there is no flight record of Miss Roberts return to
Palm Beach. See mccauleay declaration at exhibit fifteen. Question and
do you know how Jeffrey Epstein, Glenn Maxwell, Adam Perry,
Lang and Virginia get off of Saint Thomas or leave
the island? Answer? No, I don't, probably a charter, I'm guessing.
And just to interject real quick, all of Jimmy Kimmel's nonsense.
Recently after the statements made by Aaron Rodgers about Kimmel
and Epstein well that all might be correct that he
had nothing to do with Epstein per se. But notice
he doesn't comment on his buddy Adam Perry Lang. Right,
you know his good buddy Adam Perry Lang here, who
was Jeffrey Epstein's personal chef and it was traveling around
with Virginia and other girls. Maybe you want to comment
on that, mister Kimmel. On January twenty six, two thousand
and one, while under age, Miss Roberts appears on Rogers
flight log flight fourteen forty four, traveling with Epstein, Maxwell,
and Emmy Taylor from TEB to PBI Palm Beach. However,
there is no flight ight record indicating how Miss Roberts
got to New York. On January twenty seventh, two thousand
and one, fourteen forty five continues traveling with Epstein, Maxwell,
and Emmy Taylor from Palm Beach to the US Virgin Islands,
Returning from US Virgin Islands four days later on January thirtieth,
two thousand and one. CE McCauley declaration at Exhibit fifteen.
On March fifth, two thousand and one, Miss Roberts, Maxwell, Epstein,
Emmy Taylor traveled together internationally flight fourteen sixty four leaving
West Palm Beach to Stephenville, Canada. Then on March six,
two thousand and one, they continued on to Paris, France,
with a layover for three days. On March eighth, two
thousand and one, other passengers, including one on unidentified female,
joined them on flights fourteen sixty six and fourteen sixty
seven from Paris, France to Granada, Spain, eventually landing in London, England,
on March eleventh, two thousand and one, where she was
then introduced to and lent out to Prince Andrew see
McCauley declaration at exhibit fifteen. Miss Roberts, Epstein, Maxwell and
Taylor remained in London for three days until departing on
March eleventh, two thousand and one, stopping in Banger Main
before departing back to Teterborough. However, there is no flight
record of Miss Roberts return to Palm Beach. On March seventh,
two thousand and one, while underage Miss Roberts, Maxwell, Epstein,
Emmy Taylor, two unidentified females and others traveled together from
Palm Beach to Teterborough. Then three days later, on March
twenty ninth, two thousand and one, continued on fourteen seventy nine.
Does Santa Fe, New Mexico returning to Palm Beach with
Nadia Borland on March thirty first, two thousand and one.
See McCauley declaration at Exhibit fifteen. A few glaring examples
of how Miss roberts travel records are incomplete is that
Miss Roberts traveled from ads Addison, Texas on May third,
two thousand and one, on fifteen oh one to San Antonio, Texas,
then depart San Antonio, Texas on May fifth, two thousand
and one, on flight fifteen oh two to Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
But there is no record produce that explains how Miss
Roberts arrived in Addison, Texas or how she returned to
Palm Beach from Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Although Epstein's plane appears
to have originated from Palm Beach on April twenty third,
two thousand and one, Miss Roberts' name does not appear
on the log. See Roberts deposition. Example one question, do
you know how Virginia Roberts got to Addison, Texas? Answer? No,
question went to Addison and picked up Virginia Roberts. Answer
it looks like it. Another prime example of how incomplete
Miss roberts travel records are is on May fourteenth, two
thousand and one, while Miss Roberts appears on flight fifteen
oh six with Epstein, Maxwell, Emmy Taylor and others including
one unidentified female, from the US Virgin Islands to Teeterborough,
there is no record produced explaining how Miss Roberts or
in the US Virgin Islands or where she stayed when
she landed in New York. Seemacauley declaration at Exhibit fifteen
Roger's deposition example one question what were the other possible
avenues back in those days for Jeffrey Epstein Glenn Maxwell
to travel to the Virgin Islands? Answer they could have
done a charter possibly. Question all right, so, at some
point in time between May seventh and May fourteenth, answer
uh huh, question somebody flies the Gulf Stream to the
Virgin Islands. Answer correct question and who would that be?
Answer Larry Vasoski, And I don't know who the other
person would have been. Question do you know where Virginia
Roberts went during that time? After she landed in Teeterborough
on the fourteenth, answer I do not. On June third,
two thousand and one, Miss Roberts travels from Palm Beach
to US Virgin Islands on flight fifteen ten for three days,
then on June fifth, two thousand and one, continues on
flight fifteen eleven to Teeterborough. However, there is no record
of Miss Roberts returning to Palm Beach see Rogers Deposition
Example one. Then on July fourth, two thousand and one,
Miss Roberts reappears on flight fifteen twenty four with Epstein
and an unidentified female, leaving US Virgin Islands to return
to Palm Beach. However, there is no flight record that
reflects how Miss Roberts got to the US Virgin Islands.
See McCauley declaration at Exhibit fifteen Rogers Deposition Example one.
Question and do you know how Virginia got to the
Virgin Islands? Answer no. Question is there any Is it
possible that the Sesna tooker or the Boeing tooker or
any other aircraft that is owned by Jeffrey? Answer no,
I would if I had to guess, I would guess
the airlines Again. On July eighth, two thousand and one.
Miss Roberts appears on flight fifteen twenty five with Epstein
and Maxwell, Emmy Taylor, and others including an unidentified female,
departing Palm Beach two Teterborough. Four days later, on July eleventh,
two thousand and one, Miss Roberts, Epstein, and Maxwell continue
on fifteen twenty six to CPS Kahokia Saint Louis, Illinois,
which was a stop due to mechanical delay on the
way to Santa Fe, New Mexico. However, there is no
flight record that reflects how Miss Roberts returns home to
Palm Beach. CEE McCauley declaration at Exhibit fifteen Rogers deposition
example one question and then three days later you leave
out of Teterborough to CPS. Answer yes, question where is that?
Answer that is Saint Louis. Actually it's Kahokia, Illinois, across
the river from Saint Louis. Question who are your passengers?
Answer Jeffrey Epstein, Glenn Maxwell, Emmy Taylor, Virginia Roberts. We
were actually en route to Santa Fe. We had a
mechanical problem and we had to go in there for
some maintenance. On July sixteenth, two thousand and one, Miss
Roberts appears on flight fifteen twenty eight with Epstein, Maxwell
and Emmy Taylor from Santa Fe to Teeterborough. However, Miss
roberts flight to Santa Fe is missing from the records.
In addition, on July twenty eighth, two thousand and one,
Miss Roberts appears on the flight log fifteen thirty one,
returning with Epstein from the US Virgin Islands to Palm Beach. However,
there is no record of Miss Roberts flight to the
US Virgin Islands see McCauley declaration at exhibit fifteen. On
June twenty first, two thousand and two, Miss Roberts appears
on flight fifteen seventy with Epstein, Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, Cindy Lopez,
and John Luke Brunell from Palm Beach to Georgetown, Bahamas. However,
there is no record of Miss Roberts returning to Palm Beach.
See McCauley declaration at exhibit fifteen. See Roberts deposition example
one question, Virginia Roberts was taken to the Bahamas. Do
you know where she went from there? Answer? I do not.
On August seventeenth, two thousand and two. Miss Roberts appears
on flight fifteen eighty nine with Epstein, Maxwell, Sarah Kellen,
Cindy Lowepez and others from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Teeterborough.
Miss Roberts returns to Palm Beach, Florida on August eighteenth,
two thousand and two, with Epstein and one unidentified female
Seemacaulleau declaration at Exhibit fifteen see Rogers deposition example one
question Do you know how Virginia Roberts got the Santa Fe?
Answer No. From September twenty ninth, two thousand and two
through October nineteenth, two thousand and two, Defendant and Epstein
sent Miss Roberts on a commercial flight to Thailand for
massage training and provided her with all the accommodations Seemacaulleau
declaration at Exhibit forty three. All right, folks, we're gonna
wrap up right here, and then the next episode dealing
with the topic, we'll pick up where we left off.
All of the information that goes with this episode can
be found in the description box. What's up, everyone, and
welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're
going to pick up where we left off with the
rule fifty six dot one SDNY Court document. The defendants
purported facts forty five. Miss Roberts and Figaroa shared a
vehicle during two thousand and one. In two thousand and two,
Miss Roberts and Figaroa shared a nineteen ninety three white Pontiac.
In two thousand and one and two thousand and two,
Miss Roberts freely traveled around the Palm Beach area in
that vehicle. In August of two thousand and two, Miss
Roberts acquired a Dodge Dakota pickup truck from her father.
Figaroa used that vehicle in a series of crimes before
and after Miss Roberts left for Thailand. Miss Roberts statement
controverting the defendant facts. Miss Roberts and Tony Figueroa did
not share a vehicle during two thousand and one and
two thousand and two. Instead, Figaroa borrowed Miss roberts car
while she was traveling with defendant and Epstein. Figaroa testified
that he got to take the car because she was
going somewhere else in the world and did not need it.
So Figaroa deposition at eighty nine and ninety In fact,
Miss Roberts was frequently traveling with defendant and Epstein Seemacaulley
Declaration at Exhibit one. A Lessi deposition tr at nine
through fourteen, stating that Virginia started traveling on an airplane
with Glaine and Jeffrey not too long after she started
going over to the house. Figaroa further testified that Virginia
would normally go about two weeks out of every month
with Epstein. Figaroa Deposition tr At ninety. He further stated,
pretty much every time I took her there, it was
always to his mansion. I picked her up one time,
maybe it was a couple of times from the jet
Stream place, but pretty much every single time it was
at the mansion. Moreover, Miss Roberts testified she purchased a
car from the ten thousand dollars payment she received from
Epstein after she was forced to have sex with Prince
Andrew in London at Defendant's home when Miss Roberts was
a miner Seemacaulley Declaration at Exhibit five. Defendants reported facts
forty six. Miss Roberts held a number of jobs in
two thousand and one and two thousand and two. During
two thousand and one. In two thousand and two, Miss
Roberts was gainfully employed at several jobs. She worked as
a waitress at Menino's Restaurant, at TGI Friday's Restaurant aka
CCI of Royal Palm Incorporated, and at Roadhouse Grill. She
was also employed at Courtyard Animal Hospital aka Mark Pinkwasser DVM.
Miss Roberts statements controverting defendants facts. This statement is laughable.
Miss Roberts was hardly gainfully employed during a time period
in which she was trying to escape from the grip
of Epstein and Maxwell. While Social Security provides that she
earned normal amounts of earning Statements four, two thousand and
one and two thousand and two, the records do not
indicate the month or quarter of the year's work ce
McCauley declaration at exhibit forty six. For a brief period,
Miss Roberts attempted to go back to school to earn
her ged and tried unsuccessfully to hold down waitressing jobs
seemacaulley declaration at exhibit twenty seven. For example, in two
thousand and one, Miss Roberts earned two hundred and twelve
dollars as a waitress working briefly at Menino's Restaurant cemacaulley
declaration at exhibit five. In two thousand two, Miss Roberts
earned four hundred and three dollars and sixty four cents
at CCI of Royal Palm Beach, working there TGI Fridays
for a short period of time Seemacaulley declaration at exhibit five.
Then Miss Roberts worked at Roadhouse Grill until about March
two thousand two, earning one thousand, two hundred and forty
seven dollars and ninety cents. According to doctor Pinkwasser's records,
Miss Roberts also received payroll checks for week's ending four
twenty two oh two and sixty four oh two, earning
a total of one thousand, five hundred sixty one dollars
and seventy one cents. Not long after Miss Roberts losing
her job job at Courtyard Animal Hospital, flight records show
that Miss Roberts was soon back under Epstein's control, traveling
with Maxwell to the Bahamas, Santa Fe, New York, and
then New Mexico. See McCaulay declaration at exhibit forty seven.
The defendants reported facts number forty seven in September two
thousand and two, Miss Roberts traveled to Thailand to receive
massage training, and while there met her future husband and
Elope with them. Miss Roberts traveled to Thailand in September
two thousand and two to receive formal training as a massuse.
Figaroa drove her to the airport, and while there she
initially contacted Figaroa frequently, incurring a phone bill of four
thousand dollars. She met her husband in Thailand and decided
to marry him. She thereafter ceased all contact with Figaroa.
From October two thousand and two until two days before
mister Figaroa's deposition in this matter in twenty sixteen, Miss
Roberts statement controverting defendants facts. Miss Roberts did travel to
Thailand to receive massage training in September of two thousand
and two. However, defendant has inaccurately told only part of
the story. Defendant has conveniently left out certain key facts,
which includes the fact that Miss Roberts was given an
assignment from the defendant and Epstein that she had to
recruit another underage girl from Thailand and bring that young
girl back to Ebstein see McCauley declaration at Exhibit forty three.
The document Miss Roberts was given directs her to call
Miss Maxwell see McCauley declaration at Exhibit thirty two. It's
not disputed by the defendant or Epstein that Miss Roberts
was expected to return to Epstein and Maxwell upon completion
Upper Massage training and assignment. It is undisputed by Miss
Roberts that she did not return to defendant and Epstein,
but instead escaped clear across the world to Australia, where
she remained in hiding from defendant at Epstein for several years.
Defendants purported facts forty eight. Detective Roccari's investigation of Epstein
failed to uncover any evidence that Miss Maxwell was involved
in sexual abuse of miners, sexual trafficking, or a production
or possession of child pornography. Joseph Riccary served as the
lead detective from the Palm Beach Police Department charged with
investigating Jeffrey Epstein. That investigation commenced in two thousand and five.
Riccary worked only on the Epstein case for an entire year.
He reviewed previous officer's reports and interviews, conducted numerous interviews
of witnesses and alleged victims, himself, reviewed surveillance footage of
the Epstein home, participated in, and had knowledge of the
search warrant executed on the Epstein home, and testified regarding
the case before the Florida State grand jury against Epstein.
Detective Roccari's investigation revealed that not one of the alleged
Epstein victims ever mentioned Miss Maxwell's name, and she was
never considered a suspec by the government. None of Epstein's
alleged victims said they had seen Miss Maxwell at Epstein's house,
nor said that they had been recruited Byer, nor paid
any money buyer, nor told what to where or how
to act buyer. Indeed, none of Epstein's alleged victims ever
reported to the government that they had met or spoken
to Miss Maxwell. Maxwell was not seen coming or going
from the house during the law enforcement surveillance of Epstein's home.
The arrest warrant did not mention Miss Maxwell, and her
name was never mentioned before the grand jury. No property
belonging to Maxwell, including sex toys or child pornography, was
seized from Epstein's home during execution of the search warrant.
Detective Roccari, when asked to describe everything that you believe
you know about Glaine Maxwell's sexual trafficking conduct, replied, I don't.
He confirmed he has no knowledge about Miss Maxwell sexually
trafficking anybody. Detective Rocari also has no knowledge of Miss
Robert's conduct that is subject to this lawsuit. Miss Robert's
statement controverting defendants facts. This statement is false. Detective Roccary
knew that Maxwell was involved in the illegal sexual activities
at Epstein's house. He wanted to speak to her, but
Maxwell did not return his calls. Ceamacauley declaration at Exhibit thirteen.
Detective Roccary concluded that defendant's role was to procure girls
for Epstein Seemacauley declaration at Exhibit thirteen. In the execution
of the search warrant, stationary was found in the home
bearing Maxwell's name, and notes were written by house staff
to Maxwell. Cemacauley declaration at Exhibit thirteen. See also message
pads Roberts zero zero one four one two. A key
piece of evidence in the investigation were message pads uncovered
in trash pulls and from inside the residence during the search. Warrant.
Those message pads revealed numerous calls left at the house
for Maxwell, indicating she was staying in the house during
the days when Epstein was engaging in illegal sex acts
with miners. Additionally, a walk through video taken during the
execution of a search warrant revealed photos of topless females
at the home, and there was even a photograph of
Maxwell naked hanging in the home. The house staff who
were deposed in the civil cases each testified to Maxwell
being the boss in charge of everyone in the house.
Cee McCauley declaration at exhibit one. Rodriguez, the house butler
from two thousand and four to two thousand and five,
a time period that revealed a daily sexual abuse of
underage females, testified that Maxwell kept a list of the
local girls who were giving massages at her desk, and
that Maxwell kept nude photos of the girls on our computer.
Ce McCauley declaration at Exhibit twenty one. Raccari testified that
when the search warrant was executed, the house had been
sanitized and the computers removed from home. Seemacaulley declaration at
Exhibit thirteen. Recardi deposition at seventy two twenty five through
seventy three fifteen. Banaziac testified that the computers were removed
by Adriana Ross, another employee who answered to Maxwell. Seemacaulley
Declaration at Exhibit nineteen. The record is replete with testimony
demonstrating that Maxwell recruited Virginia and recruited other females, who
in turn recruited other females, all who were sexually abused
by Epstein, meaning it is undisputed that Maxwell started the
top of the pyramid of local Palm Beach girls who
were all eventually identified as victims Seemaculley Declaration at one.
The co conspirator who maintained direct contact with many underage
victims was Sarah Kellen, whose sole responsibility was to schedule
underage girls to visit Epstein for sex. Sarah reported directly
to Maxwell Seemacaulley Declaration at Exhibit twenty one. On the
day that the search warrant was executed, the housemaid Ruboyo,
was scheduled to report to the house that day at
eight am. However, she received a call from Maxwell telling
her not to go. Ceemacaulley Declaration at Exhibit twenty. Maxwell
orchestrated and ran the entire sex trafficking scheme from a
high level and insulated herself from most of the underage
girls who were being paid for sex. Tony Figueroa, Miss
Roberts x's boyfriend, did testify that Maxwell personally requested that
he find and bring girls to Epstein for sex once
Miss Roberts had escaped, and that when he brought the girls,
Maxwell interacted with him Seemacaulley declaration at Exhibit four. Figueroa
deposition at two hundred and to twenty eight twenty three.
Rodriguez testified unequivocally that Maxwell was the boss and that
she knew everything that was going on Seemacaulley declaration at
Exhibit twenty one. All right, folks, who are gonna wrap
up right here and in the next episode talking about
the topic, we'll pick up where we left off. All
of the information that goes with this episode can be
found in the description box. What's up everyone, and welcome
back to the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're diving
right back in to the SDNY fifty six dot one
court documents and we're going to pick up where we
left off the defendants purported facts forty nine. No nude
photograph of Miss Roberts was displayed in Epstein's home. Epstein
housekeeper Juana Lessi, never saw any photographs of Virginia Roberts
in mister Epstein's house. Detective Roccari entered Epstein's home in
two thousand and two to install security cameras to catch
a thief, and did not observe any child pornography within
the home, including on Epstein's desk in his office. Miss
Robert's statement controverting the defendant's facts, this is false. Nude
photographs were displayed throughout Epstein's home. Furthermore, Rodriguez testified to
Maxwell having pornography on her computer Rodriguez deposition. He also
testified to their being a collage of nude photos in
Epstein's closet IDEA two fifty three. That collage was eventually
taken into evidence by Detective Raccari, who testified to the
fact in his deposition Seemacauley Declaration at Exhibit thirteen, and
those photos are still in the possession of the FBI
or the US Attorney's Office Seemacaulley Declaration at Exhibit thirteen
Numerous other people have testified about nude photographs being on
display in the home, including Ronaldo Rizzo, who visited the
home on numerous occasions and who was reprimanded by Maxwell
herself for looking at the nude photos Seemacaulley Declaration at
Exhibit fourteen. Additionally, the search warrant video taken at the
time when the house had already been sanitized, revealed photographs
of nudity displayed, including a photograph of Maxwell herself in
the nude Seemacauley Declaration at Exhibit forty four. Sirch warrant
video attached to the deposition of Riccari Johanna Schoberg testified
that the defendant bought her a camera for the specific
purpose of her taking nude photos of herself Cemacauley Declaration
at Exhibit sixteen. Finally, Virginia Roberts testified that there was
a nude photograph of her at the house Seemacauley Declaration
at Exhibit five. Defendants Purported Facts number fifty. Miss Roberts
intentionally destroyed her journal and dream Journal regarding her memories
of this case. In twenty thirteen, while represented by counsel,
Miss Roberts drafted a journal describing individuals to whom she
claims she was sexually trafficked, as well as her memories
and thoughts about her experiences with Epstein. In twenty thirteen,
she and her husband created a bonfire in her backyard
in Florida and burned the journal, together with other documents
in her possession. Miss Roberts also kept a dream journal
regarding her thoughts and memories that she possessed in January
twenty sixteen. To date, Miss Roberts cannot locate the dream journal.
Miss Robert's statement controverting the defendant's facts. The dream journal
contained memories of Miss roberts dreams. While Miss Roberts has
looked for this journal, which is wholly irrelevant to the case,
she has been unable to locate it. Miss Roberts also
wrote in a personal journal some of her experiences with
Maxwell and Epstein, which were harmful and painful. In an
effort to relieve herself of those past painful experiences, Miss
Roberts followed the advice of a therapist and burn the
journal as a form of carthetic release at a time
when she was under no obligation to maintain the personal
memorialization of personal and painful experiences. See mcaulay declaration at
Exhibit five Defendants Purported Facts fifty one. Miss Roberts publicly
peddled her story Beginning in twenty eleven. Miss Roberts granted
journalist Sharon Churcher extensive interviews that resulted in seven widely
distributed articles. From March twenty eleven through January twenty fifteen.
Churcher regularly communicated with Miss Roberts and her attorneys or
other agents. From early twenty eleven to the present day,
Miss Roberts received approximately one hundred and sixty thousand dollars
for her stories and pictures that were published by many
news media organizations. Miss Roberts statement controverting defendant facts. Defendant
statement misrepresents history. In twenty eleven, Miss Roberts was still
in hiding from Epstein and Maxwell in Australia. Miss Roberts
was not looking to sell anything or even to speak
with anyone about what had happened to her in her
previous life from which she had dramatically escaped. Journalist Sharon
Churcher located Miss Roberts and impressed the importance of Miss
Roberts standing up to those who had harmed her and
to speak with federal authorities, which Miss Roberts did in
twenty eleven Seamacaulley Declaration at Exhibit thirty one redacted three
oh two. In addition, Churcher impressed the importance of bringing
the abuse of defendant and Epstein the public light to
prevent their continued abuse of others Seamacaulley Declaration at Exhibit
thirty five. After much deliberation, Miss Roberts agreed to be
interviewed by Churcher and was compensated for sharing her story,
which came at a heavy price of being publicly scrutinized
defendants purported facts. Miss Roberts drafted a one hundred and
forty four page purportedly autobiographical book manuscript in twenty eleven,
which she actively sought to publish. In twenty eleven, contemporaneous
with her Churcher interviews, Miss Roberts drafted a book manuscript
which purported to document Miss Roberts' experiences as a teenager
in Florida, including her interactions with Epstein and Maxwell. Miss
Roberts communicated with literary agents, go writers, and potential independent
publishers in an effort to get her book published. She
generated marketing materials and circulated those, along with book chapters,
to numerous individuals associated with publishing and the media. Miss
Robert's statement controverting the defendant facts. Defendant's characterization of these
activities are out of context and thus misleading. In two
thousand and eight, Miss Roberts received a victim notification letter
from the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District
of Florida Seemacaulay Declaration at Exhibit thirty It was regarding
her sexual victimization by Epstein. Thereafter, in twenty eleven, she
sought psychological counseling from a psychologist for the trauma that
she endured. Also that Yearish journalist Sharon Churcher sought her
out and traveled halfway around the globe to interviewer on
painful subjects. Miss Roberts was interviewed by the FBI in
twenty eleven Seemacaulley Declaration at thirty one. She was also
getting psychological help Seemacaulay Declaration at Exhibit thirty eight. In
that situation, Miss Roberts began to draft a fictionalized account
of what happened to her. It was against this backdrop
of her trauma being unearthed, her steps to seek psychological
counseling for it, that she drafted this manuscript. Doing so
was an active empowerment and a way of reframing and
taking control over the narrative of her past abuse that
haunts her. Writing I has been an emancipatory project for women.
Perot Gene Autobiography Transformation, Women Autobiography Theory A Reader, edited
by Sidney Smith and Julia Watson. Indeed, scholars have written
that the act of engaging in autobiography, or even accounts
loosely based on autobiography, is a process of taking control
of one's own narrative and one's own self. Thus, a
specific recitation of identity involves the inclusion of certain identity
contents and the exclusion of others, the incorporation of certain
narrative itineraries and internationalities, the silencing of others, the adoption
of certain autobiographical voices, and the muting of others. Smith
Sedoni performativity autobiographical practice. Indeed, even a cursory look at
the manuscript penned by Miss Roberts informs the reader that
she is trying to put forth a more palatable and
more empowering narrative to overwrite that powerlessness she felt when
being abused by the defendant and by Epstein. While Miss
Roberts explored trying to publish her story to empower other
individuals who were subject to abuse, she ultimately decided not
to publish it. Seemacaulay declaration at Exhibit five Defendants Purported
Facts fifty three. Miss Roberts publicly filed lurid CVR pleadings,
initiated a media frenzy and generated highly publicized litigation between
her lawyers and Dalan Dershowitz. On December thirty, twenty fourteen,
Miss Roberts, through Council, publicly filed a Jointerer motion that
contained her lurid allegations about Miss Maxwell and many others,
including Alan Dershowitz, Prince Andrew, and Jean Luc Brunel. The
Jointerer motion was followed by a corrected motion and to
further declarations in January and February of twenty fifteen, which
repeated many of Miss roberts claims. These CVR pleadings generated
a media maelstrom and spawned highly publicized litigation between Miss
Roberts lawyers Edwards En Cassel and Alan Dershowitz. After Miss
Roberts publicly alleged mister Dershowitz of sexual misconduct, mister Dershowitz
vigorously defended himself in the media. He called Miss Roberts
a liar and accused her lawyers of unethical conduct. In response,
attorneys Edwards and Cassel sued Dershowitz, who counterclaimed. This litigation
in turn caused additional media attention by national and international
media organizations. Miss Robert's statement controverting the defendant's facts see
Miss Roberts Paragraph seven Supra explaining why the allegations were
necessary and appropriate for multiple reasons. Miss Roberts disputes defendants
false characterization of these events and indeed the media attention
was caused by defendant issuing her defamatory press release. Defendants
purported facts. Fifty four, Miss Roberts formed nonprofit Victims Refuse
Silence to attract publicity and speak out on public controversy.
In twenty fourteen, Miss Roberts, with the assistance of the
same council, formed a nonprofit organization Victims Refuse Silence. According
to Miss Roberts, the purpose of the organization is to
promote Miss roberts profess cause against sex slavery. The stated
goal of her organization is to help survivors surmount the shame, silence,
and intimidation typically experienced by victims of sexual abuse. Miss
Roberts attempts to promote victims to refuse silence at every opportunity.
For example, Miss Roberts participated in an interview in New
York with ABC to promote the charity and to get
her mission out to the public. Miss Robert's statement controverting
the defendant's facts. Miss Roberts did not form the nonprofit
Victims Refused silence to speak out on a public controversy,
but instead to simply help survivors of sexual abuse and
sexual trafficking. In order to provide assistance to victims, Miss
Roberts attempted to talk about the nonprofit's mission when she
had the opportunity to do so. Miss Robert's statement of
undisputed facts fifty five. Virginia Roberts was born August ninth,
nineteen eighty three fifty six. Virginia turned eighteen on August ninth,
two thousand and one, fifty seven. In two thousand Virginia's father,
sky Roberts, worked at the mar A Lago fifty eight.
Sky Roberts got Virginia a job at mar A Lago
in two thousand, either months before or just after Virginia's
seventeenth birthday fifty nine. The only year in which Virginia
was employed at mar A Lago was two thousand. Sixty.
Virginia worked at mar A Lago as a spa bathroom
attendant sixty one. Virginia was not a massuse at mar
A Lago as she had no massage experience. Sixty two.
Maxwell approached Virginia at mar A Lago and recruited her
to come to Jeffrey Epstein's house Seemacauley Declaration Exhibits one,
five and seventeen sixty three. At the time Maxwell recruited
Virginia to Jeffrey Epstein's house, Virginia was either sixteen or
seventeen years old, depending on whether this occurred just before
or just after Virginia's birthday sixty four. Virginia followed Maxwell's
instructions and reported to Jeffrey Epstein's house on the night
of the day when Maxwell approached Virginia at mar A
Lago sixty five. Maxwell told Virginia at mar A Lago
that Virginia could get paid for giving a massage to
Jeffrey Epstein see McCauley declaration at exhibit five. Sixty six.
When Virginia arrived at Epstein's house, she was taken upstairs
to Epstein's bedroom and instructed by Maxwell and Epstein had
