  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
• 0:03
  In this episode, we're diving right back into those court
• 0:06
  documents and we're looking at Virginia Roberts response to Elaine
• 0:11
  Maxwell and her purported statement of facts Defendants Purported Facts nine.
• 0:18
  As the District Court noted in the ruling on the
• 0:20
  joinder motion, Miss Roberts named several individuals, and she offers
• 0:25
  details about the type of sex acts performed and where
• 0:28
  they took place. The Court ruled that these lurid details
• 0:31
  are unnecessary. The factual details regarding whom and where the
• 0:35
  jane those engaged in sexual activities are immaterial and impertinent,
• 0:40
  especially considering that these details involved non parties who were
• 0:44
  not related to the respondent government. Accordingly, these unnecessary details
• 0:48
  shall be stricken. The court then struck all Miss Roberts
• 0:52
  factual non parties. The court said the striking of the
• 0:56
  lurid details was a sanction for Miss Roberts and proper
• 0:59
  inclusion of them in the motion Miss Robert's statement controverting
• 1:05
  defendants facts see Miss Roberts's response to point number seven above.
• 1:09
  Defendants Purported Facts ten. The District Court found not only
• 1:13
  that the lured details were unnecessary, but also that the motion,
• 1:17
  with all its luri details was unnecessary because the motion
• 1:21
  itself recognized that she would not be able to participate
• 1:25
  as a fact witness to achieve the same result she
• 1:28
  thought as a party. The Court denied Miss Roberts joined
• 1:31
  her motion. Miss Robert's statement controverting defendants facts see Miss
• 1:36
  Roberts response to point number seven above, Defendants Purported Facts eleven.
• 1:42
  One of the non parties Miss Roberts named repeatedly in
• 1:45
  the joined her motion was Miss Maxwell. According to the
• 1:49
  lurid details of Miss Roberts included in the motion, Miss
• 1:52
  Maxwell personally was involved in a sexual abuse and sex
• 1:56
  trafficking scheme created by Epstein. Miss Maxwell approached Miss Roberts
• 2:00
  in nineteen ninety nine, when Miss Roberts was fifteen years old,
• 2:03
  to a recruiter into the scheme. Miss Maxwell was one
• 2:07
  of the main women Epstein used to procure underage girls
• 2:10
  for sexual activities. Miss Maxwell was a primary co conspirator
• 2:15
  with Epstein in his scheme. She persuaded Miss Roberts to
• 2:18
  go to Epstein's mansion in a fashion very similar to
• 2:21
  the manner in which Epstein and his other co conspirators
• 2:24
  coerced dozens of other children at the mansion. When Miss
• 2:28
  Roberts began giving Epstein a massage, he and Miss Maxwell
• 2:31
  turned it into a sexual encounter. Epstein, with the assistance
• 2:35
  of Miss Maxwell, converted Miss Roberts into a sex slave
• 2:38
  i d. Miss Roberts was a sex slave from about
• 2:41
  nineteen ninety nine through two thousand and two. Miss Maxwell
• 2:45
  also was a co conspirator in Epstein's sexual abuse. Miss
• 2:49
  Maxwell appreciated the immunity she acquired under Epstein's plea agreement
• 2:54
  because the immunity protected her from prosecution for the crime
• 2:57
  she committed in Florida. Miss Max Xwell participated in the
• 3:01
  sexual abuse of Miss Roberts and others. Miss Maxwell took
• 3:04
  numerous sexually explicit pictures of underage girls involved in sexual activities,
• 3:09
  including Miss Roberts. She shared those photos with Epstein as
• 3:14
  part of her role in Epstein's sexual abuse ring. Miss
• 3:17
  Maxwell connected Epstein with powerful individuals so that Epstein could
• 3:21
  traffick Miss Roberts to these persons. Miss Roberts was forced
• 3:25
  to have sexual relations with Prince Andrew in Miss Maxwell's
• 3:29
  apartment in London. Miss Maxwell facilitated Miss Roberts sex with
• 3:33
  Prince Andrew. By acting as a madam for Epstein, Miss
• 3:37
  Maxwell assisted in internationally trafficking Miss Roberts and numerous other
• 3:41
  young girls for sexual purposes. Miss Roberts was forced to
• 3:45
  watch Epstein, Miss Maxwell, and others engage in illegal sexual
• 3:49
  acts with dozens of underage girls. Miss Robert's statement controverting
• 3:54
  defendants facts see Miss Roberts response to point number seven.
• 3:58
  Miss Roberts contests the reference to lurid details. Moreover, the
• 4:03
  testimony from numerous witnesses corroborates the statements Miss Roberts. Maid

  forced to have sex with Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz,
• 6:07
  model scout Jean Luke Brunel, and many other powerful men,
• 6:11
  including numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents,
• 6:17
  a well known prime minister, and other world leaders. Miss
• 6:21
  Robert's statement controverting defendants facts see response to point number
• 6:25
  seven and eleven above Defendants Purported Facts Number thirteen. Miss
• 6:30
  Roberts said, after serving for four years as a sex slave,
• 6:34
  she managed to escape to a foreign country and hide
• 6:37
  out from Epstein and his co conspirators for years. Miss
• 6:40
  Robert's statement controverting defendants facts. Agreed that Miss Roberts made
• 6:45
  that statement and has since discovered evidence that indicates she
• 6:49
  was mistaken on the exact timeframe of her abuse, and
• 6:52
  was with defendant and Jeffrey Epstein from the years two
• 6:55
  thousand to two thousand and two, the defendants for afforded facts.
• 7:00
  Miss Roberts suggested the government was part of Epstein's conspiracy
• 7:04
  when it secretly negotiated a non prosecution agreement with Epstein
• 7:09
  precluding federal prosecution of Epstein and his co conspirators. The
• 7:13
  government's secrecy, Miss Roberts alleged, was motivated by its fear
• 7:18
  that Miss Roberts would raise powerful objections to the agreement
• 7:22
  that would have shed tremendous public light on Epstein and
• 7:25
  other powerful individuals. Miss Robert's statement controverting defendants facts. Miss
• 7:31
  Roberts did not suggest that the government was part of
• 7:34
  Epstein's conspiracy to commit sex offenses. The CVR case deals
• 7:39
  with whether the government failed in their responsibilities to the
• 7:42
  victims to inform the victims that the government was working
• 7:46
  out in NPA, and it is Miss roberts belief that
• 7:49
  the government did fail to so inform the victims and
• 7:52
  intentionally did not inform the victims because he expected serious
• 7:56
  objection from many of the victims might prevent the government
• 8:00
  from finalizing an NPA with Epstein. See McCauley declaration at
• 8:04
  Exhibit fifty. Joined her motion Robert zero zero three one
• 8:08
  nine Dash zero zero three three three. Defendants purported facts fifteen. Notably,
• 8:15
  the other Jane Doe, who joined Miss Roberts's motion, who
• 8:18
  alleged she was sexually abused on many occasions by Epstein,
• 8:22
  was unable to corroborate many of Miss Roberts's allegations. Miss
• 8:27
  Robert's statement controverting defendants facts. This is untrue. The other
• 8:31
  Jane Doe could corroborate many of Miss Roberts's allegations based
• 8:35
  on a similar pattern of abuse that she suffered by Epstein.
• 8:39
  She did not know Miss Roberts, though redacted, who was
• 8:42
  deposed in this case and who was a minor corroborates
• 8:45
  the same pattern of abuse. See McCauley declaration at Exhibit seven.
• 8:51
  Defendants purported facts. Also, notably, in her multiple and lengthy,
• 8:55
  consensual interviews with Miss Churcher three years earlier, Miss Robbertz
• 9:00
  told Miss Churchier of virtually none of the details she
• 9:03
  described in the jointer motion. Miss Robert's statement controverting defendant's facts.
• 9:08
  This is untrue. Furthermore, defendant does not offer any citation
• 9:13
  or evidence on this point. Defendant statement here is knowingly false.
• 9:17
  Having read the articles and taken Miss Robert's deposition, defendant
• 9:21
  knows that Miss Roberts did reveal details in twenty eleven
• 9:25
  consistent with those in the jointer motion. Ce McCauley declaration

  Facts Number seventeen. Miss Maxwell's response to Miss roberts lurid accusations.
• 9:47
  The January twenty fifteen statement, as Miss Roberts and her
• 9:51
  lawyers expected before District Judge Mara in the CVRA action,
• 9:56
  could strike the lurid details of Miss roberts allegations in
• 9:59
  the jointer motion. Members of the media obtained copies of
• 10:03
  the motion Miss Robert's statement controverting defendants facts see Miss
• 10:07
  Roberts response to point seven above. Defendants Purported Facts number eighteen.
• 10:13
  At mister Barden's direction, on January three, twenty fifteen, mister
• 10:18
  Gales sent to numerous representatives of British media organizations and
• 10:22
  email containing a quotable statement on behalf of Miss Maxwell.
• 10:26
  The email was sent to more than six and probably
• 10:29
  less than thirty media representatives. It was not sent to
• 10:33
  non media representatives. Miss Robert's statement controverting defendants facts. Defendant
• 10:39
  falsely claims that at mister Barden's direction, on January three,
• 10:43
  twenty fifteen, mister Gales sent numerous representatives of British media
• 10:48
  organizations and email containing a quotable statement on behalf of
• 10:52
  Miss Maxwell. This is a blatant falsehood about the document
• 10:55
  that is at the heart of this litigation. Record evidence
• 10:58
  shows that gu sent the email at Defendant's direction, not
• 11:02
  at mister Barton's direction. Indeed, on the evening before his deposition,
• 11:06
  mister Gao produced an email exchange he had with defendant
• 11:09
  in which defendant directs mister Gao to send the press statement. Chronologically,
• 11:15
  this email comes at the end of various other email
• 11:17
  exchanges between defendant and Gal that discuss issuing a press release.
• 11:22
  The subject line of this email that Defendant wrote to
• 11:25
  Gao states, urgent this is the statement, thereby instructing Gao
• 11:29
  to release this statement to the press. Shortly after defendant
• 11:33
  sent this email to Gao directing him to release the statement,
• 11:37
  Goo distributed the statement to multiple media outlets. Neither Defendant
• 11:41
  nor Gal have produced any email in which Barden directed
• 11:45
  Gao to issue this press release, nor can they despite
• 11:49
  sending it herself and despite it being responsive to six
• 11:52
  court ordered search terms, defendant failed to produce this email.
• 11:56
  Her press agent Go produced this the evening before his
• 11:59
  debut position on November seventeenth, twenty sixteen. At the deposition,
• 12:04
  mister Gal authenticated this email and confirmed that the defendant
• 12:08
  authorized the statement. C McCauley declaration at Exhibit six. Together,
• 12:14
  the email and Gal's testimony unequivocally established that Defendant, not Barden,
• 12:19
  directed and commanded Gal to publish the defamatory statement. Accordingly,
• 12:24
  the first sentence of the defendant's paragraph eighteen is false
• 12:28
  the second sentence. This email was sent to more than
• 12:31
  six and probably less than thirty media representatives, amidst the
• 12:34
  fact that not only did gu admit to emailing the
• 12:37
  statement to the press, but he also read it to
• 12:40
  over thirty representatives over the phone. Cmacauley declaration at Exhibit six.
• 12:46
  Defendants purported facts nineteen. Among the media representatives were Martin
• 12:51
  Robinson of The Daily Mail, Ppeache of The Independent, Nick
• 12:55
  Summerland of The Mirror, David Brown of the Times, and
• 12:58
  Nick always and Joe Anne Pugh of the BBC and
• 13:01
  David Mercer of the Press Association. These representatives were selected
• 13:06
  based on their request after the joinder motion was filed
• 13:10
  for a response from Miss Maxwell to Miss Roberts' allegations.
• 13:13
  In the motion, miss Robert's statement controverting defendants facts. Miss
• 13:18
  Roberts agrees to the first sentence, the second sentence is false. Accordingly,
• 13:23
  there is no evidence that Gau or anyone else selected
• 13:26
  journalist for a response, or that there was any selection
• 13:30
  process whatsoever. To the contrary, gu testified that anyone who
• 13:34
  inquired received a reference to the January twenty fifteen defamatory response.
• 13:40
  Question to the extent you can recall or could estimate,
• 13:44
  how many other emails do you believe you sent bearing
• 13:47
  that statement that's in Exhibit number two. Answer, I really
• 13:51
  can't remember, but certainly more than six and probably less
• 13:55
  than thirty somewhere in between. Anytime there was an incoming query,
• 14:00
  it was either dealt with on the telephone by referring
• 14:02
  them back to the two statements of March twenty eleven
• 14:06
  and January twenty fifteen, or someone would email them the statement,
• 14:10
  so no one was left unanswered broadly is the is
• 14:14
  where we are, but I can't remember every single person
• 14:17
  we reached out to seem Acauley Declaration at Exhibit six.
• 14:22
  All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up right here, and
• 14:24
  then the next episode we'll pick up where we left off.
