  Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
• 0:04
  A few days ago, we were looking at Glaine Maxwell's
• 0:07
  undisputed statement of facts pursuant to the Virginia allegations, while
• 0:11
  in this episode we're going to start taking a look
• 0:14
  at Virginia's response to that filing. Case number fifteen DASH

  Plaintiff's statement of contested facts and Plaintiff's undisputed facts the
• 0:37
  defendants purported facts one. Miss Maxwell's response to publications of
• 0:43
  Miss roberts false allegations the March twenty eleven statement. In
• 0:48
  early twenty eleven, Miss Roberts and two British tabloid interviews
• 0:52
  made numerous false and defamatory allegations against Miss Maxwell. In
• 0:57
  the articles, Miss Roberts made no direct allegation that Miss
• 1:00
  Maxwell was involved in any improper conduct with Jeffrey Epstein,
• 1:05
  who had pleaded guilty in two thousand and seven to
• 1:07
  procuring a minor for a prostitution. Nonetheless, Miss Roberts suggested
• 1:12
  that Miss Maxwell worked with Epstein and may have known
• 1:15
  about the crimes for which he was convicted. Miss Roberts's
• 1:19
  statement controverting defendants facts. Miss Roberts denies that the allegation
• 1:24
  she made against Miss Maxwell or false. Furthermore, Miss Roberts
• 1:28
  did give an interview to journalist Sharon Churcher in which
• 1:32
  Miss Roberts accurately and truthfully described defendant Maxwell's role as
• 1:36
  someone who recruited or facilitated the recruitment of young females
• 1:40
  for Jeffrey Epstein. See McCauley declaration at exhibit thirty four,
• 1:46
  bates number Robert zero zero, three, six, seven eight. Miss
• 1:50
  Roberts was also interviewed by the FBI in twenty eleven,
• 1:54
  and she discussed defendants involvement in the sexual abuse see
• 1:59
  McCauley declaration at exhibit thirty one, FBI redacted three zero
• 2:03
  two Roberts zero zero one two three five dash one
• 2:08
  two four six. Those statements were not false and defamatory,
• 2:12
  but instead truthful and accurate the defendants reported facts in
• 2:17
  the articles. Miss Roberts alleged she had sex with Prince Andrew,
• 2:21
  a well known businessman, A world renowned scientist, a respected
• 2:25
  liberal politician and a foreign head of state. Miss Robert's
• 2:29
  statement controverting defendance facts. Miss Roberts does not contest this fact,
• 2:33
  but believes that it is a irrelevant Defendants purported Facts three.
• 2:38
  In response to the allegations, Miss Maxwell's British attorney working
• 2:42
  with mister gal issued a statement on March ninth, twenty eleven,
• 2:47
  denying the various allegations about Miss Maxwell that have appeared
• 2:51
  recently in the media. These allegations are entirely false. Miss
• 2:55
  Robert's statement controverting defendants facts. Miss Roberts denies that mister
• 3:00
  Bardon issued a statement. Instead, it appears to have the
• 3:03
  contact as Rosscau and a reference to Devonshire Solicitors Defendants
• 3:09
  Purported Facts four. The statement read in full Statement on
• 3:14
  behalf of Gleain Maxwell by Devonshire Solicitors pr Any, Wednesday,
• 3:19
  March ninth, twenty eleven, London, March tenth, twenty eleven, Ghlaidne
• 3:25
  Maxwell denies the various allegations about her that have appeared
• 3:29
  recently in the media. These allegations are entirely false. It
• 3:33
  is unacceptable that letters sent by Miss Maxwell's legal representatives
• 3:37
  to certain newspapers, pointing out the truth and asking for
• 3:41
  the allegations to be withdrawn have simply been ignored in
• 3:45
  the circumstances. Miss Maxwell is now proceeding to take legal
• 3:48
  action against those newspapers. I understand newspapers need to tell
• 3:53
  stories to sell copies. It's also well known that certain
• 3:57
  newspapers live by the adage why let the truth get
• 4:00
  way of a good story. However, the allegations made against
• 4:03
  me are abhorrent and entirely untrue, and I asked that
• 4:07
  they stop, said Glaine Maxwell. A number of newspapers have
• 4:10
  shown a complete lack of accuracy in their reporting of
• 4:13
  this story and a failure to carry out the most
• 4:16
  elementary investigation or any real due diligence. I am now
• 4:20
  taking action to clear my name, she said media contact
• 4:25
  Ross Gau Miss Robert's statement controverting defendants facts the document
• 4:30
  speaks for itself, although it is unclear if the original
• 4:33
  included the italics that are inserted by the defendant above.
• 4:38
  The defendants purported facts five. Miss roberts gratuitous and lurid
• 4:43
  accusations in an unrelated action in two thousand and eight,
• 4:47
  two alleged victims of Epstein brought an action under the
• 4:50
  Crime Victim's Rights Act against the United States Government purporting
• 4:54
  the challenge Epstein's Plea agreement. They alleged the government violated
• 4:59
  their cbr A rights by entering into the agreement Miss
• 5:03
  Robert's statement controverting defendance facts. While we would stipulate to
• 5:07
  the statement in this paragraph starting with the words in
• 5:10
  two thousand and eight, we do not stipulate to the
• 5:13
  opening sentence fragment Maxwell places in bold Defendants Purported Facts
• 5:18
  number six. Seven years later, on December thirtieth, twenty fifteen,
• 5:23
  Miss Roberts moved to join the CVR action, claiming she
• 5:26
  too had her cvr A rights violated by the government.
• 5:31
  On January first, twenty fifteen, Miss Roberts filed a corrected
• 5:35
  joinder motion miss Robert's statement controverting defendance facts agreed Defendants
• 5:41
  Purported Facts seven. The issue presented in her joinder motion
• 5:45
  was narrow whether she should be permitted to join the
• 5:48
  CVR action as a party under the Federal Rule of
• 5:52
  Civil Procedure twenty one, specifically, whether she was a known
• 5:56
  victim of mister Epstein and the government owed them CVR duties,
• 6:00
  Yet the bulk of the motion consists of copious factual
• 6:03
  details that Miss Roberts and her co movement would prove
• 6:07
  if allowed to join. Miss Roberts gratuitously included provocative and
• 6:12
  lurid details of her alleged sexual activities as an alleged
• 6:16
  victim of sexual trafficking. Miss Robert's statement controverting defendants facts.
• 6:22
  Miss Roberts denies that the issues presented in her joinder
• 6:26
  motion were narrow. The issues presented by the joinder motion
• 6:29
  and related pleadings were multiple and complex, requiring numerous details
• 6:34
  about Miss Robert's sexual abuse and the perpetrators of her abuse.
• 6:39
  In a pleading explaining why the motion was filed, Miss
• 6:42
  Robert's lawyers specifically listed nine separate reasons why Jane Doe
• 6:46
  three's allegations that Dershowitz had sexually abused her were relevant
• 6:50
  to the case and appropriately included in irrelevant filings. One
• 6:55
  to establish that Jane Doe three had been sexually abused
• 6:59
  by Jeffrey Epstein and his co conspirators, including co conspirator
• 7:03
  Alan Dershowitz, which would make her a victim of a
• 7:06
  broad sex trafficking conspiracy covered by the Federal Crime Victim's
• 7:10
  Rights Act eighteen US Code, Section three seven seventy one,
• 7:14
  and therefore entitled to participate in the case. Two To
• 7:18
  support the pending discovery requests that ask specifically for information
• 7:22
  related to contacts by Dershowitz with the government on behalf
• 7:26
  of Jeffrey Epstein. Three. To support the victim's allegation that
• 7:30
  the government had a motive for failing to afford victims
• 7:34
  with their rights in the criminal process, specifically pressure from
• 7:37
  Dershowitz and other members of Epstein's legal team to keep
• 7:41
  the parameters of the non prosecution agreement secret. To prevent
• 7:45
  Jane do three and other victims from objecting to and
• 7:48
  blocking judicial approval of the agreement. Number four to establish
• 7:53
  the breath of the NPA's provision extending immunity to any
• 7:57
  potential co conspirator of Epstein, and the scope of the
• 8:00
  remedy that the victims, including not only Jane do three,
• 8:04
  but also similarly situated minor victims who had been sexually
• 8:07
  abused by Dershowitz, might be able to obtain for a
• 8:11
  violation of rights. Number five, to provide part of the
• 8:15
  factual context for the scope of the interface between the victims,
• 8:19
  the government, and Epstein's defense team, an interface that was
• 8:23
  relevant under Judge Mara's previous ruling that the government was
• 8:26
  entitled to raise a fact sensitive equitable defense which must
• 8:30
  be considered in the factual context of the entire interface
• 8:34
  between Epstein, the relevant prosecutorial authorities, and the federal offense victims.
• 8:40
  Number six to prove the applicability of the crime fraud
• 8:44
  misconduct exception to the attorney client privilege that was being
• 8:48
  raised by the government in opposition to the victim's motion
• 8:51
  for production of numerous documents. Number seven to bolster the
• 8:56
  victim's argument that their right to be treated with fairness
• 8:59
  us CO. Eighteen, Section three seven seventy one an eight
• 9:03
  had been violated through the government's secret negotiations with one
• 9:07
  of their abusers. Number eight to provide notice and lay
• 9:10
  out the parameters of potential witness testimony for any subsequent
• 9:15
  proceedings or trial, ie the scope of the testimony that
• 9:18
  Jane Doe three was expected to provide in support of
• 9:21
  Jane Do one and Jane Do two, the already recognized
• 9:24
  Miss Roberts in the action. And nine to support Jane
• 9:28
  Doe three's argument for equitable estoppel to toll the six
• 9:33
  year Statute of Limitations being raised by the Government in
• 9:36
  opposition to her emotion to join ie that the statute
• 9:40
  was told while she was in hiding in Australia due
• 9:43
  to the danger posed by Epstein and his powerful friends,
• 9:47
  including prominent lawyer Alan Dershowitz Chaine. Doe's number one and

  District of Florida, twenty fifteen. Miss Roberts lawyers had attempted
• 10:09
  to obtain a stipulation from the government on point number
• 10:12
  one above victim status, but the government had declined. Judge
• 10:16
  Mara's ruling concluded that certain allegations were not necessary at
• 10:20
  this juncture. In the Proceedings d at three twenty four
• 10:24
  at five, Judge Maras specifically added, however, that Jane do
• 10:29

• 10:33
  evidentiary proof, should petitioners demonstrate a good faith basis for
• 10:38
  believing that such details are pertinent to a matter presented

  The CVRA litigation continues and no trial has been held

  as of the filing of this brief. As such, the

  extent to which these factual details will be used at

  defendants reported facts number eight. At the time they filed
• 11:14
  the motion, Miss Roberts and her lawyers knew that the
• 11:17
  media had been following the Epstein criminal case and the
• 11:20
  CVRA action. While they deliberately filed the motion without disclosing
• 11:24
  Miss Roberts's name, claiming the need for privacy and secrecy,
• 11:28
  they made no attempt to file the motion under seal.
• 11:31
  Quite the contrary, they filed the motion publicly Miss Robert's
• 11:35
  statement controverting defendant facts. See Miss roberts response to point
