• 1:53
  Barton's intent as explained above. Second Miss Roberts disputes that
• 1:57
  anyone intended the press release to be a one time

  to publish it by telling them it was quotable seemacauley
• 2:34
  declaration at Exhibit forty eight rg UK zero zero zero
• 2:39
  zero zero nine SUPRA, and hired a press agent to
• 2:42
  feed it to the press. Question did Miss Maxwell retain

  the services of you and your firm? Answer? Yes, she did.
• 2:49
  Question is it your belief that the agreement was in
• 2:52
  effect on January two, twenty fifteen. Answer yes. Question do
• 2:58
  you recall the terms of that agreement? Answer well, it
• 3:01
  was a re establishment of an existing agreement, so we
• 3:05
  go back to the original agreement. It was to provide
• 3:07
  public relations services to Miss Maxwell. In the matter of
• 3:11
  Roberts and her activities. C. McCauley declaration at Exhibit six
• 3:16
  gu deposition. The record evidence shows that defendants intent was
• 3:21
  for the press to publish her press release. Any other
• 3:24
  interpretation is not only contrary to logic but unsupported by
• 3:28
  the record. Defendants purported facts twenty five Miss Roberts' activities
• 3:34
  to bring light to the rights of victims of sexual abuse.
• 3:37
  Miss Roberts has engaged in numerous activities to bring attention
• 3:41
  to herself, to the prosecution and punishment of wealthy individuals
• 3:45
  such as Epstein, and to her claimed interest to bringing
• 3:49
  light to the rights of victims of sexual abuse. Miss
• 3:53
  Robert's statement controverting defendance facts agreed to the portion of
• 3:57
  defendants assertion in bold font. Miss Roberts not engaged in
• 4:00
  activities to bring attention to herself. Rather, she has taken
• 4:04
  action to aid in the prosecution of her abusers, and
• 4:08
  she seeks to bring light to the rights of victims
• 4:10
  of sexual abuse. Defendants Purported Facts twenty six. Miss Roberts
• 4:16
  created an organization, Victims Refuse Silence Incorporated, a Florida corporation,
• 4:22
  directly related to her alleged experience as a victim of
• 4:25
  sexual abuse. Miss Robert's statement controverting Defendants facts. Miss Roberts
• 4:31
  created Victims Refuse Silence Incorporated in order to help other
• 4:35
  sexually trafficked victims find the resources they need to recover
• 4:38
  and heal. See Victims Refuse Silence dot Org. Defendants Purported Facts.
• 4:44
  The goal of Victims Refuse Silence was and continues to
• 4:47
  be to help survivors surmount the shame, silence, and intimidation
• 4:52
  typically experienced by victims of sexual abuse. Towards this end,
• 4:56
  Miss Roberts has dedicated her professional life helping victims of
• 5:01
  sexual trafficking. Miss Robert's statement Controverting Defendants Facts agreed Defendants
• 5:07
  Purported Facts twenty eight. Miss Roberts repeatedly has sought out
• 5:12
  media organizations to discuss her alleged experience as a victim
• 5:16
  of sexual abuse Miss Robert's statement Controverting Defendants facts denied.
• 5:21
  Miss Roberts was approached by numerous media outlets and refused
• 5:25
  to speak to most of them. Media organizations sought her out,
• 5:29
  she did not seek them out. See McCauley declaration at
• 5:32
  Exhibit thirty five, an email from Sharon Churcher seeking to
• 5:36
  interview Miss Roberts the Defendants Purported Facts twenty nine. On
• 5:42
  December thirtieth, twenty fifteen, Miss Roberts publicly filed an entirely
• 5:47
  unnecessary joined oer motion laden with unnecessary, lurid details about
• 5:52
  being sexually abused as a minor victim by wealthy and
• 5:55
  famous men and being trafficked all around the world as
• 5:58
  a sex slave. Miss Robert's statement controverting defendants facts see
• 6:05
  Miss Roberts paragraph seven Supra listing multiple reasons why details
• 6:09
  were in fact necessary Defendants Purported Facts thirty the Miss
• 6:14
  roberts alleged purpose in filing the joined her motion was
• 6:17
  to vindicate her rights under the CVRA, expose the government
• 6:22
  secretly negotiated non prosecution agreement with Epstein, shed tremendous public
• 6:27
  light on Epstein and other powerful individuals that would undermine
• 6:32
  the agreement and support the CVRA. For Miss Roberts's request
• 6:36
  for documents that would show how Epstein used his powerful
• 6:40
  political and social connections to secure a favorable plea deal,
• 6:44
  and the government's motive date Epstein and his co conspirators.
• 6:48
  Miss Robert's statement controverting defendants facts see Miss Roberts paragraph
• 6:53
  seven Supra. Listing multiple purposes of Miss roberts lawyers filing
• 6:58
  the motion the defend Since purported facts number thirty one,
• 7:02
  Miss Roberts has written the manuscript of a book she
• 7:05
  has been trying to publish, detailing her alleged experience as
• 7:08
  a victim of sexual abuse and of sex trafficking in
• 7:12
  Epstein's alleged sex scheme. Miss Roberts statement controverting defendant facts.
• 7:17
  See Miss Roberts Paragraph fifty two infra explaining that the
• 7:21
  context of this statement is misleading defendants purported facts Number
• 7:26
  thirty two. Republication alleged by Miss Roberts. Miss Roberts was
• 7:31
  required by interrogatory number six to identify any false statements
• 7:35
  attributed to Miss Maxwell that were published globally, including within
• 7:39
  the Southern District of New York, as Miss Roberts alleged,
• 7:42
  and paragraph nine of Count one of her complaint. In response,
• 7:46
  Miss Roberts identified the January twenty fifteen statement and nine
• 7:51
  instances in which various news media published portions of the
• 7:55
  January twenty fifteen statement in news articles or broadcast story.
• 8:00
  Miss Robert's statement controverting defendant facts. Miss Roberts objects to
• 8:05
  this paragraph in its entirety, starting with the bolded heading
• 8:09
  republication alleged by Miss Roberts. There is no republication as
• 8:14
  a matter of law in this case, as explained by
• 8:17
  Miss Roberts's memorandum of law. Accordingly, Miss Roberts is not
• 8:21
  and has not alleged republication, as noted in her objection
• 8:25
  that it is defendant, who possesses the knowledge as to
• 8:29
  where the defamatory statements were published. Unsurprisingly, Defendant failed to
• 8:33
  comply with Miss roberts discovery requests. On the same as
• 8:38
  Defendant already knows. Miss Roberts provided a sampling of defendants
• 8:42
  defamatory statements published by the news media, as identification of
• 8:47
  an exhaustive responsive list would be unduly burdensome. This, of course,
• 8:51
  is because defendant caused her statement to be published in
• 8:55
  an enormous number of media outlets. Miss roberts full response
• 8:59
  to the interrogatory number six is below. As the court
• 9:02
  can see, these nine instances were in good faith effort
• 9:05
  to provide some samples, as it would be virtually impossible
• 9:08
  to provide them all below. Miss Roberts has also put
• 9:12
  forth an exhaustive expert report and expert testimony from Jim
• 9:17
  Jansen regarding the dissemination of defendants tofamatory press release. Miss
• 9:23
  Roberts objects because the information interrogatory above is in the
• 9:27
  possession of defendant, who has failed to comply with her
• 9:30
  production obligations in this matter, and has failed to comply
• 9:33
  with her production obligations with this very subject matter. See
• 9:37
  document requests number fifteen from Robert's second request for production
• 9:41
  of documents to defendant Glenn Maxwell. Maxwell has not produced
• 9:46
  all URL or Internet addresses for any Internet version of
• 9:51
  such publication that she directed her agent, Rosscau ascend. Miss
• 9:55
  Roberts further objects because the information requested above is in
• 9:59
  the p possession of Defendant's agent, who caused the false
• 10:02
  statements to be issued to various media outlets. Miss Roberts
• 10:06
  has not had the opportunity to depose Maxwell's agent, Ross Gau. Therefore,
• 10:11
  this answer remains incomplete. Consequently, Miss Roberts reserves the right
• 10:16
  to modify and or supplement her responses as information is
• 10:20
  largely in the possession of the defendant and or agent.
• 10:23
  Miss Roberts objects to the interrogatory that violates Rule thirty three,
• 10:28
  as its subparts, in combination with other interrogatories, exceed the
• 10:32
  allowable twenty five interrogatories. Miss Roberts objects to this request
• 10:37
  because it is in the public domain. Miss Roberts also
• 10:41
  objects in that it seeks information protected by the attorney
• 10:44
  client work privilege and any other applicable privilege stated in
• 10:48
  the general objections. Notwithstanding such objections, Miss Roberts has already
• 10:54
  produced documents supplements such responsive documents with the following list
• 10:58
  of publications. While the identification of an exhaustive response list
• 11:02
  would be unduly burdensome, it is an effort to make
• 11:05
  a good faith effort towards compliance. Miss Roberts provides the
• 11:09
  following examples, which are incomplete based on the aforementioned reasons,
• 11:14
  and then that goes on to list a bunch of
• 11:16
  different Internet articles defendants purported facts number thirty three. In
• 11:21
  none of the nine instances was there any publication of
• 11:24
  the entire January twenty fifteen statement Miss Robert's statement controverting
• 11:29
  defendance facts. While there may be certain publications who did
• 11:33
  not print every word of Defendant's lengthy press release, most
• 11:36
  publications quoted the most salient to the point parts of
• 11:40
  the defendant statement that call Miss Roberts a liar. In
• 11:44
  each of the nine articles listed above, the defamatory statement
• 11:48
  as articulated by the complaint, as identified by the court
• 11:51
  as actionable, is published. See Roberts versus Maxwell one six
• 11:55
  five FSupp Dot three D one for seven one fifth
• 12:00
  fifty two SDNY twenty sixteen. Statements that Robert's claims against
• 12:05
  defendant are untrue, have been shown to be untrue, and
• 12:08
  our obvious lies have a specific and readily understood factual,
• 12:12
  meaning that Roberts is not telling the truth about our
• 12:15
  history of sexual abuse and the defendant's role, and that
• 12:18
  some verifiable investigation has occurred and come to a definitive
• 12:23
  conclusion proving that fact. Second in these statements, as they
• 12:27
  themselves allege, are capable of being proven true or false,
• 12:31
  and therefore constitute actionable fact and not opinion. Miss Roberts
• 12:35
  also put forth extensive evidence of the mass distribution of
• 12:39
  defendants defamatory statements to over sixty six million viewers through
• 12:43
  her expert witness Jim Jansen ce McCauley declaration at Exhibit
• 12:47
  twenty four Expert Report of Jim Jansen. All Right, folks,
• 12:51
  we're going to wrap up this episode here and in
• 12:53
  the next episode we'll keep it going. All of the
