- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
- 0:04This episode, we're gonna pick up where we left off
- 0:06with the Sarah Ransom deposition. Menager. So you just described
- 0:11for us, I think what you recall being the third
- 0:14massage with Jeffrey Ransom. Yeah, Menager. Do you recall the
- 0:18next one after that? Ransom? It was? It was basically
- 0:22the same. I was called to give Jeffrey massages, Menager
- 0:27during that first trip to the island Ransom during the
- 0:30first trip, Yeah, Menager. Can you approximate how many massages
- 0:34you gave to them during that first trip, Ransom. I
- 0:38would give them up to maybe to a day. The
- 0:40other girls they had to also give them massages during
- 0:43that trip, Menager. And you don't remember days that trip was, Ransom, know,
- 0:49not specifically how many it was a few days. It
- 0:53was a few days, Menager. At some point did the
- 0:56massages become different than the one you just described as
- 0:59the third massage? Ransom? It was either Jeffrey lying on
- 1:03the massage, me massaging them and in turning sexual or
- 1:07vice versa. Pretty much from the third sexual massage I
- 1:10had with Jeffrey, all other massages were sexual, Menager. Do
- 1:15you recall who was on the flight home from that
- 1:17first trip, Ransom. I don't recall who was on the
- 1:20flight home. I think it was all the people that
- 1:22were on the first flight there, Menager. Did you receive
- 1:25any compensation from Jeffrey during that first trip? Ransom? I
- 1:29received like three hundred bucks or something, not a lot, Menager.
- 1:33When did you get that ransom at the end of
- 1:35the trip, Menager? And how was it given to you?
- 1:38Ransom in cash? Menager? By whom ransom? That specific time?
- 1:43It was Jeffrey? Menager? Where were you when he gave
- 1:47you that money? Ransom? I can't recall where I was
- 1:50when he gave me the cash. Manager. Did were you
- 1:54still with the other females that had been on the plane,
- 1:57Ransom when he gave me the cash? Menager? Yes, ransom.
- 2:01I can't recall. I don't remember if someone was with me,
- 2:04but we all knew that we were going to get cash. Manager.
- 2:08Did you see him giving cash to anyone else? Ransom?
- 2:11I saw him give cash to or redacted? Menager? How
- 2:15much did he give her, if you know, ransom? I
- 2:17don't know, Menager. Did you see redacted having any type
- 2:20of sexual relations with Jeffrey during this trip, Ransom, Yes,
- 2:25I did, Menager. When did you see that, Ransom? I
- 2:28didn't see it in the bedroom, but we were called
- 2:31on like a rotation visit for Jeffrey throughout the day
- 2:34and evening. Menager. When did you see her redacted having
- 2:38some type of sexual relationship with Jeffrey on the island
- 2:41during that first trip? Ransom? I didn't see her perform
- 2:44sexual acts on Jeffrey. Manager. Did anyone see you performing
- 2:48sexual acts on Jeffrey during the first trip to the island? Ransom? No? Menager.
- 2:54Did you tell any of these other women about what
- 2:56was going on during your massages with Jeffrey? Ransom? Yes? Yes. Manager.
- 3:01Who did you tell Ransom all the girls that were there? Menager?
- 3:05And again that is redacted and redacted and redacted, mister
- 3:09gergis objection, Menager. Do you remember Ransom? I can't say
- 3:13specifically if redacted was there. I can't remember redacted being there,
- 3:17so I don't like to bring redacted into the first trip.
- 3:21I saw her multiple times on the island, but I
- 3:23can't specifically place her there on the first trip. I
- 3:26just remember the key people that were there because they
- 3:28were the most vivid in my memory. Menager. Do you
- 3:32know if you took any pictures during that first trip? Ransom?
- 3:35I don't think during that first trip. No, we weren't
- 3:38actually allowed to bring any electronic devices with us. Menager,
- 3:43How did you learn that rule? Ransom redacted told me
- 3:46and the other girls told me? Manager, who are the
- 3:49other girls? Ransom redacted? Manager? Did you take a camera
- 3:53to the island? Ransom, not the first time? No, Manager.
- 3:57Did you have a digital camera at the Timeansome, Yes,
- 4:00I did, Menainger, what kind ransom? I can't remember, Menager.
- 4:05Did you have a phone with a camera on it? Ransom?
- 4:08I had a BlackBerry, yes, which you could take photos on. Menager.
- 4:12All right. Do you recall there being any sexual acts
- 4:14performed on the plane on the ride home during that
- 4:17first trip? Ransom? No? Menager, Okay. Do you recall going
- 4:21down a second time Ransom to the island? Menager? Yes, Ransom, yes. Manager.
- 4:27When did that happen? Ransom? Shortly. I can't remember specifically
- 4:31when it was, but it wasn't on I don't know
- 4:34the time length. I saw Jeffrey and Glaane and the
- 4:37crowd quite a lot in New York as well, so
- 4:39it's not clear to me when the second trip was. Menager.
- 4:43When was the first time you met Glaine Ransom. I'd
- 4:46been to the island a couple of times before, and
- 4:48then I met Glaine on the island, Menager. Tell me
- 4:52about your meeting with her, Ransom. I remember being told
- 4:55by everyone before she arrived who she was, and I
- 4:59was pretty much told the type of person she was,
- 5:01and that I had to do everything she told me
- 5:03to do. Menager. And who told you that Ransom? Redacted? Redacted,
- 5:08redacted and redacted? Every single girl that I came in
- 5:11communication with told me that, Menager, And what type of
- 5:15person did they tell you that she was? Ransom? She's
- 5:19incredibly intimidating. She's not someone you want to be stuck
- 5:22in an alley with at night. Put it that way.
- 5:24She's a very dangerous character and has connections. Menager. And
- 5:29that was communicated to you by this group of females redacted, redacted,
- 5:33redacted and redacted Menager, anyone else? Ransom? I mean, it
- 5:38was a general conversation amongst the girls about Glaine. So
- 5:42there were other girls all the time. So during the
- 5:45duration of my stay, so pretty much from my when
- 5:47I first arrived in New York. My entire time was
- 5:50spent with Jeffrey and Glaine and that crowd. So yeah,
- 5:54it was that's about everything, Menager. Okay, so you met Ransom.
- 5:59I'm I had a lot of girls who we all
- 6:01had the same opinion of Golaane. We were all frightened
- 6:04of her. She had a very odd relationship with Jeffrey.
- 6:07And yeah, she's not a nice I'm sorry. I know
- 6:09she's your client, but she's not She's not a friendly,
- 6:13warm person. I liked her dog though, her Yorkshire Terrier.
- 6:17Her dog was nice. Menager. You recalled meeting her for
- 6:20the first time on that island, Ransom. Yeah, she flew
- 6:23in by helicopter, Menager. And that was after you were
- 6:27on the island a couple of times, Ransom. Yeah, Menager.
- 6:31Did she fly the helicopter? Ransom, I can't remember if
- 6:34she flew it or not. I just remember her getting out,
- 6:37like getting out of a and going Golaine and I
- 6:40was like, I was quite frightened when she arrived. So, Menager,
- 6:44was she alone or with someone? Ransom? I can't remember
- 6:47if she was with someone. I just remember the first
- 6:50time I saw her, I was like is that it.
- 6:52She didn't look that scary when I first met her.
- 6:54Looks her deceiving Menager. So the first time you saw
- 6:58her she was getting off a helicop Ransom, Yeah, Manager,
- 7:03And you don't recall if she flew the helicopter Ransom.
- 7:05I don't recall if she flew it herself or if
- 7:08there was a pilot there. I just remember she arrived
- 7:11on a helicopter. Manager. What's the next thing you remember
- 7:15about your interactions with her personally? Ransom? She stayed on
- 7:19the island a few days, and I didn't have a
- 7:21lot of interaction with her. I avoided her, to be honest, Menager.
- 7:25Did you take pictures with her? Ransom? No. We weren't
- 7:27allowed any digital cameras on the island, Menager. Have you
- 7:31ever taken a picture of her Ransom? No. I didn't
- 7:34really feel comfortable and I didn't feel the need to
- 7:37take pictures of Glene for my photo album, Menager. Apart
- 7:41from staying away from her and not having a lot
- 7:43of interactions, do you recall anything else about your first
- 7:47interaction with her on the island Ransom? Yeah. She was
- 7:51incredibly unpleasant to me. She wasn't friendly or warm. Menager.
- 7:55What did she say or do? Ransom? She was very dismissive,
- 7:59just another girl. Really, Manager, did you ever give her
- 8:02a massage? Ransom? No, Manager, did she ever give you
- 8:06a massage? Ransom. She massaged me once or twice, but
- 8:10it was to refine my technique for Jeffrey. Menager. This
- 8:15was on the first time that you met her. Ransom. Yeah,
- 8:18during that trip she because Jeffrey again, he's quite specific
- 8:21on how he likes his massages, and yeah, I'm not
- 8:25that's not my forte massages. Manager. How did it come
- 8:28about that she was helping you to refine your massage techniques? Ransom.
- 8:33We were just sitting in the main area by the
- 8:35big house. That's where we chilled out. There's a table
- 8:38there as well, and yeah, we were just sitting on
- 8:41the sofas and I think I can't remember if I
- 8:44was giving Jeffrey a massage, but we were all sitting
- 8:46together and I think he was getting massaged by one
- 8:49of the girls and we were kind of taking it
- 8:51in turns. Menager. Was it sexual? Ransom? No, it wasn't sexual,
- 8:56but Glaine was there and I wasn't doing it properly
- 8:59and she showed me he had a massage them and
- 9:01how he liked it, Menager? And what part of his body?
- 9:04Did she show you how to massage? Ransom? His feet,
- 9:08his hands? Manager? Did she say anything to you, Ransom?
- 9:12I can't remember specifically what she said to me. She
- 9:15said a lot of things to me. Manager, Okay, well
- 9:19tell me what you remember that she said to you,
- 9:21Gurgis objection? When where? What? What are we talking about? Ransom?
- 9:26I can't remember specifically what she said to me. All
- 9:29I know is that she wasn't She wasn't a particularly
- 9:33a nice person to me or to anybody, so very dictatorial, manager,
- 9:38unlimited by time or anything. Do you recall anything Glaine
- 9:42said to you, Gurgis Objection. You're asking her, Ransom. It
- 9:47was had to massage, Jeffrey. I remember speaking to her
- 9:50quite a lot about my fit application. I remember speaking
- 9:53to Glaine about my psychiatrist, about my weight. My weight
- 9:57was a big issue, and in fact, everything was an
- 9:59issue with Glaine Menager during this first time you met her,
- 10:03other than discussing massages. Did those other topics come up? Ransom?
- 10:08I can't remember the first encounter with Golaine, but it
- 10:11was pretty soon after everything snowballed quite quickly. Manager, Well,
- 10:16you saw her getting off the helicopter, correct, Ransom, Yes, Manager,
- 10:20and you saw her on the island for a couple
- 10:22of days that time, you said, correct Ransom, Yeah. Manager.
- 10:27So during that time that you saw her over a
- 10:30couple of days, do you remember any other discussions you
- 10:33had with her apart from this massage? Ransom? We spoke
- 10:37about why I was there in New York. I mean
- 10:40we you know, she got to know me. She asked
- 10:42me a lot of questions about my family life. I mean,
- 10:45she questioned me a lot about my personal life, Menager.
- 10:49Was anyone else present when you were having these discussions
- 10:52with Glaine? Ransom? Yes? Everyone everyone that was redacted, redacted,
- 10:57Jeffrey and redacted. Men Was there anyone different on this trip, Ransom?
- 11:03Redacted as well, redacted? Was there Menager? Anyone else on
- 11:07this trip? Ransom? I can't remember Menager? Was redacted, redacted
- 11:12and redacted there, Ransom, not the first time that I
- 11:14met Klaine Menager? Was anyone else there? Ransom? I can't
- 11:19remember Menager. Anything that would help refresh your memory, Ransom,
- 11:23if you could give me the plane logs or something,
- 11:25or names or photos. Ten years, as I said, is
- 11:29an incredibly long time. I don't remember who. I mean,
- 11:32it was such a long time for me. I came
- 11:34to New York. My intention was to meet many people,
- 11:37make new friends, make a new life for myself, so
- 11:39I didn't really I don't remember names specifically, Menager. Do
- 11:44you remember any descriptions of other people who were on
- 11:47the island the first time you met Klaine Ransom? There
- 11:50were all beautiful people. I just remember being surrounded by
- 11:53beautiful young people. There were always girls. There were always girls,
- 11:57you know, girls didn't even have time to kind of
- 12:01remember girls' names because there was always people leaving the island,
- 12:04popping in, flying in, So there was a constant flux
- 12:07of people coming in, popping in, visiting Jeffrey and Golaine Menager.
- 12:11So the first time you met Glaine, you saw her
- 12:14get off the helicopter. She was on the island for
- 12:16a couple of days. Any other females you remember being
- 12:19there on that occasion? Mcaulay objection asked, an answered Ransom redacted, redacted,
- 12:25redacted and redacted, and I can't remember any others Menager. Menager,
- 12:30can you remember any descriptions of other people who were
- 12:33there on that occasion. Gurgis objection, asked An answered, Ransom.

- 12:57I've never seen girls like that. Well, you had been
- 13:00a model in London, right, Ransom, Yeah, I have. But
- 13:04you know, Jeffrey Epstein, he acquired the elite, didn't he
- 13:07You know, him and Glaine, so they were pretty much
- 13:10the crem dela creme of the crop. I would say
- 13:12the girls that were around them, Menager on this first
- 13:16occasion when you met Glaine, and there were beautiful girls
- 13:19who you don't recall what they look like. You they
- 13:23were beautiful, Ransom. Yeah, there were beautiful people constantly surrounded
- 13:28by Jeffrey Epstein and Glaanne. They were only surrounded by
- 13:31beautiful people, beautiful girls, Menager. But apart from that, you
- 13:35don't have any other specifics, Ransom. I don't recall the
- 13:39appearance of the other girls. I don't as I will
- 13:41say again. There was a constant stream of people coming
- 13:44in going off the island, popping in, popping out, girls
- 13:47flying in, girls flying out. There were girls on the
- 13:50island that were their shorter time frames than me and
- 13:54flew out. I didn't really I hung out with my
- 13:56crew redacted redacted. They were my friends. I thought there
- 14:00were my friends, so I didn't really cozy up to
- 14:03any of the other girls. It's like high school. You know,
- 14:06you're not friends with everybody. You asked me who every
- 14:08one I went to high school with. I don't remember.
- 14:11I don't have a clue. I don't know who they are. Menager,
- 14:15Do you have a best friend from school? Gurgis objection
- 14:19Ransom several? Several? I mean, who has any best friends
- 14:22at school? School? School? We don't make best friends at school.

- 16:07What's the office, Ransom? Jeffrey's office the main office? Manager?
- 16:12Where is that? Ransom? I don't remember the location. It's central.
- 16:16It's got a courtyard, like when you walk in, there's
- 16:19like a courtyard. Manager. What were you doing at Jeffrey's
- 16:22office in New York? Ransom? We were preparing for my
- 16:25college application. Jeffrey often wanted to see just how I
- 16:29was doing, so I had regularly popins to see him
- 16:33and Golaane, and Golane would often check how I was
- 16:36doing and blah blah blah. Manager, what were you doing
- 16:40to prepare for your college application? Ransom? I had to
- 16:43write an essay? Manager? When did you? Ransom? Also, I
- 16:47had to do, like, you know, how to apply for
- 16:49college applications. You've got your application forms and such. So
- 16:53it was more admin, Manager, and you were going to
- 16:57Jeffrey's office to work on your forms, yes, and to
- 17:01just say hi, I was well. I never went on
- 17:03my own accord. I was either invited or told to
- 17:06be there by either Glaine or Jeffrey. I also went
- 17:09to the offices on a number of occasions for a
- 17:11private legal matter. Manager, what's the private legal matter? Gerge objection,
- 17:17I'm going to direct you to not answer if it's
- 17:19unrelated to this case. Manager. Was there an attorney president Ransom? Yes? Manager.
- 17:25What was the name of the attorney? Who was President? Ransom?
- 17:28Alan Dershowitz? Manager, So I was asking about the second
- 17:33time you met Alaine. It was at Jeffrey's office in
- 17:35New York, Ransom, Yes, Manager. How did you come to
- 17:39be in Jeffrey's office in New York where you met
- 17:41Glaine the second time? Ransom? I was told to be there? Manager?
- 17:46And who told you to be there? Ransom? I think
- 17:48it was Golaine. Manager. How did Glaine tell you to
- 17:51be there? Ransom? I can't remember if it was via
- 17:54telephone call. I can't remember the exact communication that she used.
- 17:58But I was told a regularly be there when they
- 18:01wanted me there, and just grabbed a taxi and arrived
- 18:04at the office. Manager, Well, asking you about the second time,
- 18:08so you met her on the island and the next thing,
- 18:11you know, you have communication from her in New York. Ransom, well,
- 18:15she was always with Jeffrey in his office. So it's like, okay,
- 18:19let me just explain it a bit. So you go
- 18:21to an office and you see Jeffrey's office there and
- 18:24Glane Golaine was always at Jeffrey's office, so I think
- 18:28she had her own office there. So when you walk
- 18:31in and you've met people before, you kind of say
- 18:33hi to everyone, you know, you have a little chit chat.
- 18:36Do you understand, you don't you don't? You know? I
- 18:39chatted with Glaine. I chatted with Jeffrey. It was a
- 18:42super busy office. I can't remember specifically what was said.
- 18:46It was just a check in kind of manager. So
- 18:50you were going there to work on your college application
- 18:53and you happen to see Golaine in the offices. McAuley objection. Ransom.
- 18:58She you know, she partic disipated in the you know

- 19:08to understand when you did this. When was it, Ransom?
- 19:12It was the second time, the first time I went
- 19:15to the office. The first time you went to the
- 19:17office the second time you met Colaine Ransom, yes, Menager.
- 19:22And when was it relative to the first time that
- 19:25you met Colaine Ransom. I can't remember if it was
- 19:29a couple of weeks later. I don't remember the exact
- 19:31timeframe of how many days or weeks there was between
- 19:34the first trip and then when I went into the office. Manager,

- 21:27asked an answered Menager, Tell me about any conversations you
- 21:30have with Glaine that involved fit Gurgis objection beforem Ransom.
- 21:35I can't remember the specific conversation. There were many conversations.
- 21:40I was just applying doing an application form and they
- 21:43were trying to get me in they. Yeah, I can't
- 21:45remember the exact I think Golaine also knew people there,
- 21:49so they were basically trying to get me into fit. Menager, Well,
- 21:53tell me what you recall Gollaine saying versus they Ransom.
- 21:58I can't remember specifically the conversation, so I would not
- 22:01like to speculate, but I will give you the overall
- 22:04conversation and what it was regarding as far as my
- 22:07fit application, But I cannot remember the specific content or
- 22:11the specific words used. But it was surrounding my fit
- 22:16application and an essay I had to write, and they
- 22:19both proof read my fit application as well. Menager. And
- 22:23did they both read your essay? Ransom? Yes, they did, Menager.
- 22:27When did you write that essay? Ransom? I can't remember, Menager,
- 22:32before you went to South Africa? Ransom? Yes, Menager. And
- 22:37do you know what the application deadline was? Ransom, I
- 22:40don't know. I don't I can't remember, Menager. When did
- 22:44you meet Alan Dershowitz Ransom. I don't remember the specific date.
- 22:48It was a few months after I had been here
- 22:50in New York. Manager. Was it after you had gone
- 22:54to the island? Ransom? Yes? Manager. Do you know what
- 22:58time of year, Ransom, I mean I think it was
- 23:01before winter. Manager. Well, you were here in the fall, Ransom, yeah, Manager,
- 23:06and you left in the winter. Ransom, Yeah, I left
- 23:09in May. Manager, So did you meet him before you
- 23:12went to South Africa? Ransom? Yes. Manager. Well, let's be clear,
- 23:17you were here until you went to South Africa and
- 23:20you left for a while and then you came back,
- 23:22right Ransom, m hmm. Manager, And how long were you
- 23:26gone for Ransom? I think about three weeks? Yeah, about
- 23:29three weeks. Manager. So you met him before you went
- 23:32to South Africa Ransom, yes, Manager, and tell me about
- 23:36when you met Alan Ransom. I first met Alan at
- 23:40the offices. Manager, and tell me what happened, Ransom. I
- 23:44can't really tell you what happened because it's about a
- 23:46legal matter. Manager. Was he your lawyer, Ransom? He was
- 23:51going to be assigned to me to be my lawyer. Manager,
- 23:54assigned to be your lawyer, Ransom through Jeffrey's instruction. Manager, okay,
- 24:00was he your lawyer? McAuley objection asked, An answered, men,
- 24:04I don't know if there's privilege, Gurgis there's a privilege
- 24:07whether he was retained or not. Right, I mean, if
- 24:09you're at a cocktail party and you speak to a lawyer,
- 24:12you know that conversation is privileged. So Manager, well, I
- 24:16don't actually gurgis. You're free to research it. Manager, I
- 24:20will ask questions then, to try to establish whether or
- 24:23not there is a good faith basis. Manager, did you
- 24:26approach Alan Dershowitz for the purpose of seeking legal advice? Ransom?
- 24:31I was introduced to Alan manager by whom Ransom, Jeffrey Epstein? Manager?
- 24:36On what day? Ransom? I don't recall what day. Manager,
- 24:40Was it related to some event that had occurred just
- 24:43before that? Ransom, Yes, that's correct, Menager. Were you in
- 24:47touch with any law enforcement authorities? Ransom? No, Menager, huh, Ransom, no. Manager.
- 24:54Was Jeffrey in the room when you were speaking with
- 24:56Alan Dershowitz? Ransom, yes, Manager. Did jeff Epstein ever overhear
- 25:01your conversation with Alan Dershowitz? Ransom, yes, Menager, What did
- 25:06you talk about with Alan Dershowitz? Gergis objection. Ransom begins
- 25:11to answer, but Gergis objects again. I direct the witness,
- 25:14not the answer. Manager. A third party was in the room.
- 25:17You've heard that council and you know that means that
- 25:20that's a waiver. McCauley. No, I mean they would have
- 25:23been involved. We don't know what the situation is. They
- 25:27could have been involved together. There could be a number
- 25:29of reasons why Jeffrey had some sort of common interest
- 25:32with her. With that, Menager, did you sign a common
- 25:35interest agreement with Jeffrey? Gurgis objection, Do not answer, Menager,
- 25:40whether she had a common interest agreement with Jeffrey. You're
- 25:43instructing her or not to answer? Is that right, counsel Gurgis?
- 25:46Do you have real time in front of you, Council Manager,
- 25:49I don't, Gergis, you don't. You can borrow mine, Menager,
- 25:54I don't want it, thank you, Gergis, Okay, Menager, anyone
- 25:57else in the room when you spoke mister Dershowitz Ransom? No, Menager,
- 26:03describe mister Dershowitz for me. Ransom. He old age, white,
- 26:07pasty skin, not very attractive, wears glasses, A bit of
- 26:11an ugly man, really, Meninger. Did he have any facial hair? Ransom?
- 26:15I can't recall at the time, No, Meninger, mustache Ransom,
- 26:19I can't remember, Menager, Beard Ransom, I can't remember Menainger,
- 26:24you can't remember if he had a mustache or a beard.
- 26:26Gurgis objection, asked An answered McAuley objection, Ransom. I don't
- 26:31recall seeing a massage, sorry, a mustache on Alan Dershowitz.
- 26:36I don't recall a massive amount of facial hair. I
- 26:38recall Alan Dershowitz. Whether he had a subtle amount, I'm
- 26:42not sure. Yeah, it's he didn't have a beard. I
- 26:45don't think Meninger, All right, did you sign an affe
- 26:48of David that you submitted in this case? Ransom? Yes? Menager.
- 26:53Did you make the allegation in your declaration that you
- 26:55had a sexual relationship with Alan Dershowitz? Ransom, Yes, I
- 27:00absolutely did, Meninger. When did you have sex with Alan
- 27:03Dershowitz Ransom? I can't remember the exact time, but it
- 27:07was in Jeffrey Epstein's New York apartment, Menager, we're in
- 27:11the apartment, Ransom. It was in a bathroom. I can't remember, Menager.
- 27:15Was it before or after you had this conversation that
- 27:18you won't describe, Ransom? It was after, Menager. So do
- 27:22you recall what month that was before you went to
- 27:25South Africa or after you went to South Africa. Ransom,
- 27:29I can't remember, Menager. How long did you speak to
- 27:32Alan Dershowitz during your first meeting with them? Ransom until
- 27:36I was finished explaining what my legal matter was, Menager.
- 27:39Did he believe you to be did he believe that
- 27:42he was your lawyer during that conversation? Gurgis objection, Mcaulay objection, Pottinger,
- 27:48please Pagliuca. All right, guys, you know, let's just do
- 27:51the deposition here without the chorus over there, Gurgis, and
- 27:55without the speeches as well. We agree, let's carry on
- 27:58without asking ridiculous questions about what other people's mental state was.
- 28:02I think that's a good idea. Let's carry on, counsel, Menager.
- 28:07Did you ever sign a fee agreement with Alan Dershowitz Ransom,
- 28:11no Menager. Did you ever appear in court with Alan Dershowitz, Ransom,
- 28:15no Menager. Did you ever appear in court yourself? Ransom,
- 28:19no me. Did you ever have any contact with any
- 28:23law enforcement officers while you were in New York? Ransom,
- 28:26no Menager, any police Ransom, no Menager. After you left
- 28:30that meeting with Alan Dershowitz, when did you see him next, Ransom.
- 28:34I can't remember. I think it was at dinner. There
- 28:37was a dinner, yeah, Menager. And do you know whether
- 28:40the dinner was before or after you went to South Africa? Ransom.
- 28:44I can't remember the specific time period, so I don't
- 28:46remember if it was before or if it was after.
- 28:49But it was to this She's interrupted by Menager. Where
- 28:53was the dinner, Ransom? It was in a restaurant in
- 28:56New York? Menager. What restaurant, Ransom, I can't remember, Menager.
- 29:01Who else was there? Ransom? I remember Alan, Jeffrey myself.
- 29:05I can't remember if others, if there were other people there, Menager.
- 29:09What type of restaurant was it? Ransom? It was a
- 29:12nice restaurant. Manager. Do you remember the type of cuisine? Ransom? No, Menager.
- 29:19What do you remember discussing at dinner, Ransom the legal
- 29:22matter that I had. Manager. Did you consider him to
- 29:24be your lawyer at that dinner? Ransom? Yes, I did, Menager.
- 29:28What's the next time you saw Alan Dershowitz Ransom at
- 29:31Jeffrey Epstein's New York mansion. Menager? When was that ransom?
- 29:36After the second time I had met Alan? Menager? Had
- 29:39you been to South Africa, Ransom. I can't remember, Menager,
- 29:43Tell me what happened during that encounter, Ransom. I walked
- 29:47in the room. I walked in the house. Jeffrey and
- 29:49Redacted and Alan were there. Menager, what happened after you
- 29:53walked into the house, Ransom. I it was really strange
- 29:58because Redacted didn't like me, and so when I arrived,
- 30:01we had I think. I can't remember if I had
- 30:04like water or whatever. Redacted took me upstairs. I remember
- 30:08there was a room. I didn't quite understand what was
- 30:10going on at the time. I knew obviously something was
- 30:13going on because I've never met Redacted socially, so Redacted
- 30:18started undressing me in the room. She started undressing me
- 30:21by the bed, and we got on the bed. I
- 30:23kind of knew what was going on from that. The
- 30:26girls were often forced to have sex with each other
- 30:28for Jeffrey's pleasure, so it was just another occasion, I guess.
- 30:32Jeffrey then walked in the room. He started masturbating under
- 30:35his clothes. He put his hand in his trousers. A
- 30:38few minutes later, Alan walked in the room. He started undressing.
- 30:42He got on the bed with Redacted. At myself and
- 30:44we basically had a three way sexual interaction. Menager. Was
- 30:48Alan fully clothed? Ransom during when at what's specific? He
- 30:52walked in with clothes Menager? And he got fully undressed Ransom? Yes? Menager.
- 30:58So you saw his entire naked body? Ransom? Yes? Menager.
- 31:02Did you notice anything specific about his body? Ransom? Not
- 31:05that I recall. I mean, yeah, not that I can't
- 31:08really remember. It was quite a it was a it
- 31:12wasn't a pleasant experience, Menager. What did you do with Alan? Ransom?
- 31:17I gave him moral sex and masturbated him, Menager. Anything else? Ransom?
- 31:21He did the same with redacted. He performed the same
- 31:24on me. Menager. Did he ejaculate? Ransom? He did, yeah,
- 31:28Menager in your mouth? Ransom? No, Menager. Did you have
- 31:32intercourse with him? Ransom? No? Not penetration, no, Menager. Did
- 31:36you see him ejaculate more than once? Ransom? No? I
- 31:39didn't see him ejaculate more than once? Menager. You didn't
- 31:43notice any scars mcauleay objection, Ransom, I don't recall specific
- 31:48markings on every man I've been with body, so it's
- 31:50not something I wasn't ravishing Alan's body. I was trying
- 31:54to close my eyes and just get it done so
- 31:56I could go home and watch TV. Really, so, I
- 31:59really wasn't a I don't really like kind of go
- 32:02whoo his body. I don't recall his body at all,
- 32:06Like I don't make a mental note of every man's body.
- 32:08I've slept with Menager other than Jeffrey Is. At the
- 32:12first time you had sex with another man in his
- 32:14home or on his property? Ransom? Sorry, can you just
- 32:19repeat the question, Gurgis or rephrase it? Ransom. I'll just
- 32:23read it, Gurgis, if you understand it, Ransom. Yeah, he
- 32:26was the only person Alan Dershowitz. Menager, Did you have
- 32:29sex with him more than once? Ransom? No, Menager at
- 32:33the occasion you just described. Did he have an erection? Ransom?
- 32:38It was, it was, It wasn't particularly hard. It was
- 32:42pretty disappointing, Menager. And where did he ejaculate? Ransom? I
- 32:47had given him oral sex, and well, he ejaculated, he ejaculated.
- 32:51I mean, there's only so many places a man can ejaculate.
- 32:54He didn't ejaculate on me. He didn't ejaculate in my mouth.
- 32:57I gave him moral and I masturbated him and finished
- 33:00them off. He ejaculated over himself. Me just there wasn't
- 33:04a lot of ejaculation. I don't remember a lot of sperm.
- 33:07I didn't see massive amounts of semen. But I just
- 33:10remember him ejaculating. But it wasn't in my mouth, Menager.
- 33:14And in terms of time frame, the best you can
- 33:16say is that it was after you had been to
- 33:19the island a few times. Ransom. That's correct, Menager. And
- 33:23you don't remember if it was before or after you
- 33:25went to South Africa, Ransom, I can't remember specifically, no, Menager.
- 33:31Did you see Alan Dershowitz again after that occasion? Ransom, no, Menager.
- 33:36So you saw him at the office, you say you
- 33:39saw him at dinner, and you say you saw him
- 33:41one time in the bedroom at Jeffrey's house. Ransom, that's correct, Menager.
- 33:46It's one o'clock. I think we should take a small
- 33:48lunch break. How anyone can even talk about eating lunch
- 33:51after we just heard about Alan gross ass Dershowitz ejaculating
- 33:55is beyond me. But here we are, so we're gonna
- 33:58take a break as well. That way we can all
- 34:00go throw up and then we'll pick up where we
- 34:02left off in the next episode. All of the information
- 34:05that goes with this episode can be found in the
- 34:08description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the
- 34:12Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're gonna pick up where
- 34:16we left off with a Sarah Ransom deposition, and in
- 34:20that last episode, we left off with Sarah Ransom talking
- 34:23about Alan Dershowitz. So let's get back to it. Gergis counsel.
- 34:29Before you commence with your questioning, I think there's one
- 34:32issue from this morning that the witness wants to correct
- 34:35herself on, so just let her do that now, Ransom.
- 34:39I said earlier that I would just like to correct
- 34:41that my lawyers are paying for they are covering my
- 34:44hotel expenses. Meninger, thank you for the clarification, Ransom, and
- 34:50she's cut off by mister Gergis. Go ahead, Ransom and
- 34:53my flight Meninger, thank you. Now back to the questioning, Menager,
- 34:58going back to your first conversation with Alan Dershowitz. At
- 35:01any point in that conversation, had mister Dershowitz agreed to
- 35:05act as your lawyer, Ransom, Yes, Menager, did he do
- 35:09anything in terms of contacting anyone on your behalf Gurgis objection,
- 35:13do not answer, Menager, what was the specific legal matter
- 35:17that you were seeking representation for? McCauley objection. Gurgis objection,
- 35:22do not answer, Menager. What did you understand the purpose
- 35:26of Jeffrey Epstein being in that room for during that conversation? Ransom?
- 35:31Jeffrey was there to support me, and Jeffrey was looking
- 35:34after me, Menager. When you engaged in sexual conduct with
- 35:39Alan Dershowitz, did you see any evidence on his body
- 35:42of his surgical procedure? Ransom? I don't recall seeing anything.
- 35:46I can't remember, Menager. Did you see any bandages? Ransom?
- 35:50I can't remember. Menager. Did you see him bleed through
- 35:54his penis? Ransom? Not that I recall, Menager. Do you
- 35:57recall seeing mister Dershowitz bleed through penis? Ms McCauley objection,
- 36:02asked and answered, Ransom, not that I recall, Menager. When
- 36:06you were on the island sometimes less than ten times,
- 36:09you think, did you ever use any drugs? Ransom, no, Meninger.
- 36:13Did you use cocaine? Ransom, no Meninger. Did you ever
- 36:17get thrown off the island for using cocaine? Ransom? No Meninger.
- 36:21Did you drink alcohol? Ransom no, Menager none. Ransom during
- 36:26on the island, whenever I was around Jeffrey, absolutely not, Meninger.
- 36:31Other than going to the island, Did you travel anywhere
- 36:33else with Jeffrey Ransom? No? Menager. Did you ever travel
- 36:37anywhere with Glenn Maxwell Ransom? No? Menager. Did you ever
- 36:42fly on an airplane with Glenn Maxwell Ransom? I don't remember, Meninger.
- 36:48You don't remember any time you flew on a plane
- 36:50with Glen Maxwell Ransom. No, I don't remember. There were
- 36:54always many people on the plane, Meninger. When you refer
- 36:58to the plane, you're referring to a private plane, Ransom,
- 37:02Jeffrey's plane, yes, Menager. Did you travel on more than
- 37:06one plane of Jeffrey's Ransom? Not that I know. I
- 37:09don't remember. I don't remember, Menager. Can you visualize in
- 37:13your head any other layout of a different type of
- 37:16plane than the one you drew in defendant's Exhibit number one? Ransom? No, Menager.
- 37:21Why did you go to South Africa in early two
- 37:24thousand and seven Ransom to visit my family? Menager? And
- 37:29which family members did you visit? Ransom? My father and
- 37:32my stepmother, Menager anyone else? Ransom, no Menager? Any siblings? Ransom,
- 37:38My younger brother and my sister live with my parents,
- 37:41my dad and my stepmom and their two younger children. Meninger.
- 37:45Did you see any school friends there? Ransom? No Menager?
- 37:49Who paid for your plane ticket to go to South Africa? Ransom?
- 37:53Jeffrey did? Menager? How did that come about? Ransom? I
- 37:57wanted to see my family and defunded the plane ticket
- 38:00because he was funding everything else at that time. Menager?
- 38:03What else was he funding at that time? Ransom? Accommodation,
- 38:08travel taxis food, my prescription that I had to pay
- 38:11for for the prescription that prescription drugs? Menager? Had you
- 38:16taken any prescriptions for mental health disorders before October two
- 38:20thousand and six? Ransom? No, Menager? Have you taken any
- 38:24since May of two thousand and seven? Ransom? Yes, I have? Menager?
- 38:29Which ones? Ransom? Peroxetine? Menager? Anything else? McAuley, I'm going
- 38:35to object there's no timeframe on this. You're talking about
- 38:38one year, all the years from two thousand and seven
- 38:41to twenty fifteen, which I would say is inappropriate for
- 38:45a non party witness to talk about her if you're
- 38:47talking generally about prescriptions. Then this whole next section is
- 38:51completely redacted. The next section completely redacted, next section completely redacted.
- 38:58Back to Ransom, I had been described were incorrect, Menager.
- 39:02Those are the ones you mentioned earlier in your testimony. Ransom. Yeah,
- 39:06I had to stop and change medication because I was
- 39:08first started on lithium and the lithium made me put
- 39:11on weight at quite a rapid rate. So I was
- 39:14put on so many different types of medication because I
- 39:17didn't not everyone agrees with you. Weight was a massive
- 39:20issue for Glaine and Jeffrey, So the lithium just didn't
- 39:24work for me. I mean, I put on weight quite quickly. Menager.
- 39:28What did Glen Maxwell say to you about weight? Ransom? Well,
- 39:32what did she not say? She bullied me massively about
- 39:35my weight, Menager? What did she say? Ransom? I was
- 39:38told that I would lose Jeffrey's financing if I didn't
- 39:41lose weight, and I would not they would not help
- 39:44me get into fit. Menager. Who were you told that
- 39:47by Ransom? Glaine and Jeffrey Menager in the same conversation, Ransom,
- 39:53various conversations, Menager, Tell me your conversations with Golaine. When
- 39:58did she say that to you, Ransom on the island
- 40:01Menager before you went to South Africa? Ransom, yes, Menager.
- 40:05And was that in person? Ransom, yes, Menager. Who else
- 40:10was present? Ransom redacted, redacted, redacted and redacted, a girl
- 40:14name redacted, and a girl name redacted. Sorry, I just
- 40:18remembered a name, A girl name redacted, and a girl
- 40:20named redacted. Menager. So they were all present when you
- 40:25had a discussion with Golaine about your weight on the island. Ransom, yes, Menager.
- 40:30And what did Glaine say to you about your weight
- 40:33when you were on the island in front of all
- 40:34those people? Ransom? I can't remember the specific conversation how
- 40:38it went. We got into an argument about my weight,
- 40:41quite a heated argument, Menager. What do you recall about
- 40:45the argument, Ransom? I recall it got so heated that
- 40:48I ran off and tried to swim off the island.
- 40:51I wanted to get as far away from Jeffrey and
- 40:53Golaane as possible Menager. Okay, And then what happened? Ransom?
- 40:59I left the main house. I took there's like a
- 41:01buggy thing. It was evening. I drove to a particular
- 41:04spot on the island. It was so Jeffrey's Island is
- 41:07quite rocky around the edges, so and it's not really
- 41:11you can't just go into the water. It was quite
- 41:14steep and well, I didn't really know how to swim anyway.
- 41:17I didn't know how to escape, but I wanted to
- 41:20at that precise moment get as far away from him
- 41:22as possible. Menainger. So you had a heated argument about
- 41:26your weight with Golaine Ransom. Glaine and Jeffrey Menager, they
- 41:31were both there. Ransom, yes, Menager, and do you remember
- 41:35anything that was said during that argument? Ransom? It was
- 41:38basically an ultimatum that I either lose weight or or
- 41:42that's it. Ransom. Sorry, can I sorry, I need to
- 41:46get a headache tablet if you don't mind. Meninger go
- 41:49off the record for a second. So they go off
- 41:51the record real quick. They have some discussions that were
- 41:54held off the record. Then they're back on. Meninger, go
- 41:57back on Menainger. You were given an ultimatum to lose
- 42:01weight or what Ransom, They wouldn't help me get into fit,
- 42:05and that my time with Jeffrey would be over, it
- 42:08would end. Menager. Who said that? Ransom, Well, they both.
- 42:12They both said it in not so many words. I
- 42:15can't remember the exact conversation. I remember it being heated.
- 42:19I remember them giving me the ultimatum. I think a
- 42:21few curse words were shared. I can't It was very heated.
- 42:25I can't remember the exact words. Meninger was redacted there, Ransom, No,
- 42:30I don't recall her being there, Menager. Were you taking
- 42:34the medication that you talked about earlier during this time period? Ransom? Yes, Menager.
- 42:39Had you put on weight since taking those medications? Ransom, yes,
- 42:44I had, And I had also put on weight because
- 42:47I wasn't allowed to smoke any cigarettes at all with
- 42:49Jeffrey on the island or anywhere near Jeffrey. Jeffrey wasn't
- 42:53allowed to know that we smoked, so I put on
- 42:56also a lot of weight as well, in conjuncture with
- 42:58the lithium. So yeah, yeah, Menager. How did the topic
- 43:02of your weight come up? Ransom? Well, I wasn't as
- 43:05skinny as the other girls, and Jeffrey liked his girls
- 43:08very thin. Menager. Were you interested in modeling at that
- 43:12point in time, Ransom, I was doing freelance modeling at
- 43:15the time, But I mean I wasn't exactly going to
- 43:18be Kate Moss, and the modeling agency thought I wasn't
- 43:20bateed enough for them either. I would like to clarify
- 43:24that I wasn't actually fat. I was a normal weight,
- 43:26by the way, just to make that clear. I'm sixty
- 43:29four sixty five kilograms at that time. Menager. What did
- 43:33you understand that Jeffrey and Galan wanted you to lose weight? Ransom?
- 43:38I was one of the girls that Jeffrey has sexual
- 43:41encounters with regularly. He liked his girls thin. Menager. Did
- 43:45you ask Jeffrey to help you become a model? Ransom? No.
- 43:48I wanted to get a degree and an education, Menager.
- 43:52So you were not attempting to become a model at
- 43:54this point in time, Ransom, No, I wanted to get
- 43:57an education as opposed to being a model. Manager. Did
- 44:01you talk to or redacted and redacted about becoming a model? Ransom? I,
- 44:07as I was freelancing during that time, or trying to
- 44:09get freelancing work. Jeffrey kept us on a little string
- 44:13with his massage payments, so I wanted to earn a
- 44:16separate income while I was doing my education. To fund
- 44:19my living expenses. So you know, I wanted to potentially
- 44:22increase my jobs. But no, my job was not to
- 44:25be a high fashion model. I wanted to get my degree,
- 44:28get my education, and work in the fashion industry. Manager,
- 44:33you had worked as a model during college earlier, correct Ransom, Yes, Manager,
- 44:38and you saved up money from that job, correct Ransom, yes, manager,
- 44:43and you had used that money to fly to New
- 44:44York at some point, correct Ransom, Yes, Manager. And what
- 44:49you're saying now is you would also potentially do modeling
- 44:52while you were studying in the future. Mister gergis objection.
- 44:56That's not at all what she's saying, Ransom, as in future,
- 44:59as in would I do modeling now? Manager, No, I'll
- 45:04rephrase the question, Ransom. Please, Manager, let's take a break,
- 45:08go off the record, and when you finish the salad,
- 45:10we'll proceed. They get back on the record and Menager
- 45:14starts with the questions once again. At the time you
- 45:17were having a discussion with Jeffrey and Glen about your
- 45:19weight when you were on the island. Did you have
- 45:22any intention of being a model at that time? Ransom,
- 45:25I was a freelance model. I wanted to increase my
- 45:28workload to help fund my living expenses. So it was
- 45:31not my intention to be a full time model, because
- 45:34I quite clearly applied to a college to get an
- 45:36education that I was promised by Jeffrey Epstein. Manager between
- 45:41January of two thousand and seven and today, have you
- 45:44worked as a model? Ransom? No? Manager? When you left
- 45:48for South Africa? Did you have a ticket to return
- 45:50to the US? Ransom? At that time a return ticket
- 45:54hadn't been booked by Jeffrey yet. Manager. You traveled to
- 45:58South Africa to visit your family without a return ticket? Ransom? Yes, Manager.
- 46:04Did anyone travel with you to South Africa? Ransom no, Menager,
- 46:08your mother was not in South Africa when you went
- 46:10to South Africa on that occasion in two thousand and seven? Correct, Ransom, Correct, Menager.
- 46:17What did you do while you were in South Africa
- 46:19in February of two thousand and seven, Ransom, spend time
- 46:22with my family? Mener. Did you visit any modeling agencies? Ransom, Yes,
- 46:27I did visit some modeling agencies. Menager. Which modeling agencies
- 46:31did you visit? Ransom? I can't remember the exact names
- 46:35the modeling agencies were on Long Street in Cape Town.
- 46:38I visited several modeling agencies on Long Street and Bree
- 46:42Street as well Bree Street and Long Street and a
- 46:45few others in central Cape Town, So I visited a few. Actually, Menager,
- 46:50had you worked with any of those modeling agencies in
- 46:52the past? Ransom? No, Menager, did you have any connection
- 46:56with any of those modeling agencies? Ransom? No, Manager? What
- 47:01did you do when you visited the modeling agencies in
- 47:04Cape Town in February of two thousand and seven, Ransom,
- 47:08I was requested to look for a PA for mister Epstein. Manager.
- 47:13What does that mean? Ransom? It means that he told
- 47:16me he would pay me a certain amount of money
- 47:18to find him a PA in South Africa? Manager, what
- 47:21do you understand the initials PA to stand for Ransom?
- 47:26Personal assistant manager? What are the job requirements of a
- 47:30personal assistant? Ransom? To book flights, type do faxes? Basically,
- 47:36a PA is your a CEO's right hand man of
- 47:39you know, companies, anything business wise. They do everything really
- 47:42for that person. Manager, When did Jeffrey ask you to
- 47:46find him a PA while in South Africa? Ransom? Before
- 47:49I went, Manager, did you agree to do that Ransom, Yes, manager,
- 47:54And you did go to the modeling agencies, Ransom? I
- 47:58told Jeffrey I did, but actually I went to a
- 48:01couple and then I just it wasn't right. My gut
- 48:04instinct was, yeah, Menager, what happened when you went inside
- 48:08the modeling agency in Cape Town? Ransom? I was humiliated.
- 48:13I was completely embarrassed. I couldn't even ask them what
- 48:16Jeffrey was wanting. I mean, it was so absolutely ridiculous
- 48:19his request of me finding him a PA. Menager? So
- 48:23what happened? Ransom? So I asked if they had any
- 48:27girls that would want to travel, that they would be
- 48:30put up in accommodation and they would be a PA.
- 48:33And when I actually spoke to the modeling agencies, they
- 48:35actually laughed at me because it was quite ridiculous that
- 48:39a young twenty two year old was asking a modeling
- 48:41agency for an eighteen year old PA for a multi
- 48:44billionaire who had several already menagers. So you recall a
- 48:48conversation where the person you were speaking to started laughing, Ransom, yes, Menager.
- 48:55What type of person were you describing that you were
- 48:57looking for? Ransom? The same speci vacations that Jeffrey told
- 49:01me she had to be eighteen, thin, very young looking
- 49:04and pretty. Menainger. Anything else, Ransom, well, bright and be
- 49:09able to type. Meninger. Did you go on a diet
- 49:12while you were in South Africa? Ransom? I was forced
- 49:15to go on a diet, Meninger, Tell me what you mean,
- 49:18forced to go on a diet? Ransom. After that incident
- 49:21on the island in it was December when Glane brought
- 49:25me back to the main house after she she sent
- 49:27a search party. She led a search party to find
- 49:30me on the island and bring me back. Meninger. Golaine
- 49:33let a search party, Ransom, Yeah, yeah, she got everyone
- 49:37together and they all went looking for me when I disappeared. Meninger.
- 49:42Who went looking for you? Ransom redacted, redacted, Jeffrey, the
- 49:46girls Golaane, Menager, which girls Ransom? Redacted and redacted? The
- 49:51girl name redacted? Ransom. Did Jeffrey go searching for you Ransom? Yes, Menager.
- 49:57How do you know that, Ransom? I was told Menager
- 50:01about whom Ransom by redacted and the other girls. Meninger,
- 50:06Where were you located, Ransom on the island Menainger. Where
- 50:09on the island Ransom a corner of the island. Menager
- 50:13on the water, Ransom, No, it was quite a long
- 50:16drop off. It was like a cliff type. I wasn't
- 50:18able to jump to get in the water. Meninger. Your
- 50:21intent was to swim off the island, but you didn't
- 50:24make it into the water. Ransom, No, because I would
- 50:26have killed myself, so it wasn't safe. Meninger. So who
- 50:31located you on this corner of the island, Ransom, I
- 50:33can't remember who got to me first. I remember, I
- 50:36can't remember who found me first. Menager. Do you remember
- 50:39anyone who found you? Ransom? Yes, I definitely found because
- 50:43I didn't have enough time to find a different location
- 50:46on the island so I could get off and swim
- 50:48away from Jeffrey and Glane Menager. Once they found you,
- 50:52what happened, Ransom? I was brought back to the main house, Menager.
- 50:57How were you brought back? Ransom the same way that
- 50:59I got there? On the beach buggy black four by four? Not?
- 51:04What are they quad things? McCauley quad bikes? Ransom, quad bikes? Yeah? Manager.
- 51:09Did you bike back, Ransom? Yes, Manager, accompanied by some people. Ransom.
- 51:14I was accompanied back, Yes, manager by whom Ransom I
- 51:19can't remember specifically who it was. All right, folks, we're
