• 0:10
  to be very, very interesting to get a look at. Well,
• 0:14
  in this episode, we're going to take a look at
• 0:16
  a three to two, which is an interview with the

• 0:28
  this report and see what this three O two says.

  FBI Date of entry, nine thirty, twenty twenty one. Redacted
• 0:40
  was interviewed at two ninety Broadway in New York, New York.
• 0:43
  Present for the interview was redacted, Attorney redacted, along with
• 0:47
  ausa redacted, essay redacted, and Detective redacted. After being advised
• 0:53
  of the identity of the interviewing agents and the nature
• 0:56
  of the interview, Reacted provided the following information. Redacted is
• 1:02
  redacted years old and was born and redacted. She came
• 1:05
  to the United States around when she was redacted years
• 1:08
  of age. She was pregnant and had a son in
• 1:11
  the United States when she was redacted years old. Redacted,
• 1:16
  she just finished law and business school she went or redacted.
• 1:20
  She has completed two masters in the last four years.
• 1:23
  Prior to that, she traveled a lot to hide from him.
• 1:26
  She was raped in twenty fourteen. When she first came
• 1:30
  to the United States, she was a model in Los Angeles.
• 1:33
  Then she moved to New York for work. To be
• 1:35
  a model. She worked for Redacted. She was twenty five
• 1:38
  years old when she met Leon Black. At the time,
• 1:41
  she was living in New York. She was single from
• 1:44
  her son's father. From the outside, it looked like her
• 1:47
  life was glamorous. She worked and traveled and met Black
• 1:51
  at it Redacted in two thousand and eight. There was
• 1:54
  about thirty people there. Black approached Redacted and they talked.
• 1:58
  He walked her home the next day. He sent her flowers.
• 2:02
  They met for lunch a few times, and he tells
• 2:05
  Redacted that he wants to help her with work and
• 2:08
  her son's school. When Redacted moved to the United States,
• 2:12
  she did not speak English. At the time, she was
• 2:15
  taking English and acting classes. Black said that he could
• 2:19
  help with the business. Redacted thought that he was genuine
• 2:22
  and didn't think he was trying to take advantage of her.
• 2:25
  She was used to objectification being in the modeling industry,
• 2:29
  Redacted never thought that he would force it if she
• 2:33
  didn't want it. At first, it was not sexual, it
• 2:36
  was professional. He proposed to rent an apartment for Redacted
• 2:40
  and her son to help them. They made a deal
• 2:43
  that Black wasn't allowed in her apartment. He rent them
• 2:47
  an apartment at redacted. It was not a sexual relationship,
• 2:51
  yet he bought her furniture. Black then came in to
• 2:54
  Redacted's apartment to see the furniture. Redacted felt scared and
• 2:58
  he had no boundaries. Redacted says, this is the last
• 3:01
  time he is to come here. Black was very convincing
• 3:06
  that he knew people and he could still help her.
• 3:09
  Redacted and Black would meet and would always talk about work.
• 3:13
  This was once every couple of weeks. At first. Redacted
• 3:17
  soon became more vocal because Black was not helping her
• 3:20
  with work. Then he became more frightening and violent or vindictive.
• 3:25
  First they would talk about work at lunch and who
• 3:28
  he knows, but that he could use his power against
• 3:31
  her if she talked about their relationship, which was sexual
• 3:34
  at the time, Black would bite her. During sexual experiences,
• 3:39
  Redacted would say no and stop. Black would bite her
• 3:43
  harder and harder until Redacted stops. Then he would get
• 3:47
  on top and bite redacted on her private parts. Prior
• 3:50
  to sex. Black is big and tall. He would make
• 3:53
  sudden movements and crack his knuckles. That was scary to redacted.
• 3:57
  He never hit her. The biting prior to and during
• 4:00
  sex was the only thing violent against redacted. Black bit
• 4:03
  Redacted during about half the experiences. Sometimes he helped to
• 4:10
  pay the rent, and sometimes he didn't. Sometimes Redacted would
• 4:13
  tell Black that she didn't want to have sex, and
• 4:16
  then he would transfer money or set up an appointment
• 4:18
  with someone. This happened over ten years. He would make
• 4:22
  sixty thousand dollars transfers. The biggest transfer was two point
• 4:25
  six million. He tells he redacted that he pays people
• 4:28
  to threatn redacted. Redacted leaves the country because she thinks
• 4:32
  she was drugged and raped. Redacted leaves four redacted. Black
• 4:38
  keeps calling her, implying that he's behind this, then tells
• 4:41
  her the money he gave her in twenty fifteen was
• 4:44
  to sponsor her visa in Redacted. Black was giving her
• 4:48
  money since the beginning. Sometimes it was like he did
• 4:51
  something very wrong and he wanted to make up for it.
• 4:54
  Black never said that Redacted had to have sex with
• 4:57
  them to get the money. In two thousand eleven, Redacted.
• 5:03
  In twenty thirteen, Black says he can let her stay
• 5:07
  in this country if she continues to have sex with him.
• 5:10
  Redacted how to student visa and a working visa. Black
• 5:14
  says that he can help her with getting the visa.
• 5:16
  He gives her two school loans four four hundred and
• 5:18
  eighty thousand. Redacted then gives a copy of the loan
• 5:22
  agreement in twenty thirteen. In twenty fourteen, people started randomly
• 5:26
  approaching redacted. Black said that he was paying Jeffrey Epstein
• 5:30
  and Harvey Weinstein to take care of redacted. Black files
• 5:34
  redacted to Palm Beach in two thousand and eight. Redacted
• 5:38
  and Epstein. We're at the Palm Beach house. Redacted says,
• 5:41
  these guys are sex addicts and you have to let
• 5:44
  them do what they want or else they are very powerful.
• 5:48
  Redacted introduces herself as redacted. Redacted later learns the name
• 5:52
  to be redacted. Black brings redacted to lunch. They go
• 5:57
  to the airport, and he brings her onto the place
• 6:00
  with a pilot. Black says they're going to meet his
• 6:03
  friend Epstein. Redacted had known that he was a sex
• 6:07
  offender and she was scared. They go right to the house.
• 6:11
  This is a police guard outside the house who says hi,
• 6:14
  Redacted and Epstein are inside. Redacted ass redacted for her email.
• 6:19
  Redacted tells redacted that she has to let them have
• 6:22
  sex with her, even if it's a lot of guys. Redacted, redacted,
• 6:26
  Black and Epstein are in the room in front of them.
• 6:29
  Redacted says that they are sex addicts. Redacted says to
• 6:33
  them that with addiction, you tend to need it faster
• 6:36
  and more until it affects your life. Epstein asked redacted
• 6:40
  if she's looking for love. Black was angry when they left,
• 6:44
  and he was force feeding her because she didn't want
• 6:46
  to eat. He was giving her sushi and jung food,
• 6:49
  some sort of punishment. The abuse was progressive. Redacted told
• 6:54
  Black all the time that she did not want to
• 6:57
  have sex with him, and he would get mad. He
• 6:59
  would say, he's powerful, and you don't want to cross him.
• 7:03
  Redacted knew he was possibly a billionaire. She heard he
• 7:06
  was powerful. Redacted met Epstein about one to two times. Briefly,
• 7:10
  Black tells were Redacted that he's best friends with Epstein.
• 7:14
  Black implied that Epstein was doing things to Redacted. The
• 7:17
  schools and the police were all under his control. Lots
• 7:20
  of strange people call redacted saying they knew Epstein. Later on,
• 7:25
  Redacted is introduced to Glenn Maxwell, Prince Andrew, and the Dubans.
• 7:29
  Black did not want Redacted to have sex with other
• 7:31
  men until later on. In twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, Redacted
• 7:37
  graduates Redacted. While at school, she redacted to be not
• 7:42
  be attractive. She was seeing a therapist and unhappy and stressed.
• 7:45
  She had a hard time talking to people. Black would
• 7:48
  take Redacted to a museum around this time and wouldn't
• 7:51
  talk much. There was not much sex happening. Later, he
• 7:55
  tells her if she continues to have sex, he can
• 7:57
  help her stay in the country. Random people would be
• 8:01
  mean to her, and Black would take the credit for it.
• 8:04
  Black would give her Redacted loans and tell her he
• 8:06
  knew that other people that she would go out with
• 8:09
  who were from Epstein's circle. Glenn Dubin's brother took Redacted out.
• 8:13
  Mark Zuckerman took her out. Weinstein shows up at her
• 8:17
  apartment and says that he wants to give her a job.
• 8:20
  Redacted had met him at Redacted prior to this. On
• 8:24
  this occasion, which was around twenty thirteen twenty fourteen, Redacted
• 8:29
  had just come home from a run and he was
• 8:31
  in her apartment. She tells him that she's going to
• 8:34
  shower and he walks into the shower. Redacted kicks him
• 8:38
  out of the shower. Weinstein asked her to be involved
• 8:41
  with his new reality show. He tells her that Black
• 8:44
  owns all of the movie theaters and then he leaves.
• 8:47
  Redacted would come to Redact it on vacation and try
• 8:50
  to hang out with her. For Alan Dershowitz's deposition, it
• 8:54
  was said she gave him a massage on Epstein's plane.
• 8:58
  Redacted felt like they were all trying to frighten her.
• 9:01
  Redacted state, She's not giving guys what they want. She
• 9:04
  felt it's her fault. Redacted was not romantically involved with
• 9:08
  anyone else at the time. She's sure that she had
• 9:11
  sex with someone, but was not in a long term relationship.
• 9:15
  From twenty thirteen on, Black would meet with Redacted or
• 9:19
  reach out to her to say that he was behind
• 9:21
  whatever is happening. Redacted is introduced to Prince Andrew. Black
• 9:26
  implies that he knew what Redacted was wearing, as if
• 9:30
  he was spying on her. They meet occasionally. Redacted tells
• 9:34
  them she does not want to be sexually active with
• 9:36
  them anymore. In two thousand and eight, they flew to
• 9:39
  Epstein and Black says if she tells anyone, people will
• 9:42
  find drugs on her or heroine. He was making jokes
• 9:46
  that they can tamper with evidence and plan drugs. It
• 9:49
  was a threatening conversation. She meets him for dinner once
• 9:53
  and he tells her he feels weird that they're not
• 9:55
  going to be able to have sex. Then he leaves
• 9:58
  Redacted and Redacted feels sick. The next couple of days,
• 10:02
  Redacted thought that she was poisoned. She had strange drinks
• 10:06
  with a new person named Michael. Around July fourth, twenty fourteen,
• 10:11
  Black comes to Redacted's old department when she's home and
• 10:14
  not feeling well. He rings the bell. She tells them
• 10:17
  that she would come down, and she opens the door
• 10:20
  and he's already at the door and he walks in.
• 10:22
  Someone let him in downstairs. Redacted tells him that she
• 10:26
  thinks that she has been drugged. And she does not
• 10:29
  want to have sex. He grabs her breast. She tells
• 10:32
  him that she has to lie down. He comes to
• 10:35
  her room and has sex with her. He almost carried
• 10:38
  and pushed her inside the room. Redacted had no energy.
• 10:42
  She sort of collapsed. Black took off his clothes. Redacted
• 10:46
  with sick for days prior. She was perhaps wearing leggings
• 10:49
  and some cotton top, but she's not sure. She is
• 10:53
  sure that he took off her clothes. She told him
• 10:56
  she didn't want to do this. She was upset and
• 10:59
  wasn't really fully present. She couldn't move or do anything.
• 11:04
  She had not eaten. She was on her back and
• 11:07
  he had vaginal sex with her. He was on top
• 11:10
  of her. He finished, gets up and says, now I
• 11:13
  fucked you. He gets dressed in leaves. He removed all
• 11:17
  of his clothes for this. He did not use a
• 11:19
  condom and never used a condom. She told him that
• 11:22
  she thought she was drugged and that she is going
• 11:25
  back to redacted. He sarcastically says that he didn't expect that,
• 11:29
  and then she leaves the country. She gives some of
• 11:32
  her belongings away and puts it in storage. Black still
• 11:36
  calls her. He says watch out for her son while
• 11:39
  she's away. He says that he will be able to
• 11:41
  do things to her while she's away. Black would reach
• 11:44
  out to redact it until she would sign an NDA.
• 11:46
  Redacted did not pay him back for the loans. The
• 11:49
  money that she had when leaving the United States was
• 11:52
  from Black. She signed another loan when she was leaving
• 11:55
  the country, which he made her sign. He was threatening her,
• 11:59
  so she didn't know why he gave her the loan.
• 12:02
  She thinks it's because he was financially in control of
• 12:04
  her life. Redacted still paid even after leaving after the rape.
• 12:09
  When Blavotnick calls redacted and asks how she's feeling, she
• 12:14
  tells him better. Black sends her flowers. Blovotnik invites Redacted
• 12:19
  to a party and redacted. Then, when in redacted, Blavotnik
• 12:23
  talks about the poisoning and it's a good thing to
• 12:25
  stay out of New York and never go back in Redacted,
• 12:29
  Black calls redacted. Redacted meets people from a circle, and
• 12:33
  she moves to redacted. Six months later, people from a
• 12:36
  circle try to talk to her. They first try to
• 12:39
  convince her to talk to Black. Black sends redacted to
• 12:43
  interviews in redacted and redacted. Redacted meets Black and redacted
• 12:48
  after this, and he tells her he pays for her
• 12:51
  to be threatened in her redacted and redacted. He tells
• 12:55
  her that he can stop it if she takes the
• 12:57
  money and signs the NBA. She tells them that she
• 13:00
  doesn't want to pay. One month later, they meet and
• 13:03
  he brings a document from a lawyer. He tells her
• 13:06
  he will put her in prison if she doesn't take
• 13:09
  the money. It was millions. He says that he will
• 13:12
  support her for five years, then says he will support
• 13:15
  her for ten years. He wanted her to meet with
• 13:18
  lawyers to assign the NDA. Redacted was scared. She thinks
• 13:22
  maybe he was recording her. Redacted never said anything about blackmail.
• 13:27
  She had a hard time understanding what he wants. The
• 13:30
  NDA was to help her, and he will do lots
• 13:33
  of terrible things if she didn't take the money. They
• 13:36
  meet and redacted. He tells her to meet a lawyer
• 13:39
  and talk about immigration. He starts yelling at her redacted
• 13:42
  in public and says, I'll put you in prison. I
• 13:44
  work for the FBI. I'll make your life miserable, Redacted
• 13:49
  walks away. He then texts her that he will send
• 13:52
  her money each month to help with her visa, but
• 13:55
  she has to meet with him. She meets him again
• 13:58
  and he brings paper about getting rid of the loan
• 14:01
  and that she can never talk about him directly or implied.
• 14:04
  He promises to give her money. The paper says that
• 14:07
  they had a fight which was resolved. She never gets
• 14:10
  a copy of the document in her Around twenty fifteen
• 14:15
  was the last time that they had talked. After he
• 14:17
  sent her to Ballet. They had texted. Redacted had been
• 14:21
  getting money from him until Redacted. He had been sending
• 14:24
  her one hundred grand every month. Redacted had speculated a
• 14:28
  sex trafficking ring because he was friends with Jeffrey Epstein.
• 14:32
  One of his girlfriends is redacted, who started an art
• 14:34
  gallery called Redacted. Black wanted them to have threesomes. Around
• 14:38
  two thousand and eight. There was another Redacted girlfriend who
• 14:41
  was introduced to Black by Epstein. Black would brag until
• 14:45
  Redacted that he had other girlfriends. Redacted is not sure
• 14:48
  if he was abusive with them, but she assumed his girlfriend.
• 14:53
  Redacted tells Redacted that she wanted out of this relationship.
• 14:57
  They looked physically and emotionally, stressed on, healthy and worn down.
• 15:02
  Redacted cannot vouch for the other woman being trafficked, but
• 15:05
  she thinks they were. Black would tell Redacted he was
• 15:08
  having sex with them and they were working. Her first
• 15:12
  sexual encounter with them was in his studio and the
• 15:15
  mattress was on the floor. This studio was in the redacted.
• 15:19
  Black would demand that Redacted was loving in text messages
• 15:23
  in which she wasn't, but he was. Redacted was on
• 15:26
  the phone, and it's deleted. She may have some texts,
• 15:30
  but not many because he called her more often. Redacted
• 15:34
  told her she wanted to get out. Redacted met her
• 15:37
  when she was seeing him and Redacted wasn't. It was
• 15:41
  in a nightclub. She said she wanted to date another
• 15:44
  man but couldn't stand the guy she was currently with.
• 15:46
  She did not specifically mention Black, but says it's a
• 15:49
  guy she met through Epstein. Black took Redacted to his
• 15:53
  house in the Hamptons and Bedford. His wife would be around.
• 15:57
  His wife was around with them at dinner. On one occasion.
• 16:00
  Black kept an apartment across the street from his house.
• 16:03
  His wife saw them going in there once he only
• 16:06
  knew of this number for text. He reached out to
• 16:09
  redact it after redacted and asked redacted to call him.
• 16:14
  He asked her what she's doing, and she didn't respond
• 16:16
  to this text. Then Black issued a statement to the
• 16:19
  redacted all right, folks, that's going to do it for
• 16:22
  the three to zero two of the accusations made against
• 16:25
  Leon Black. All the information that goes with this episode
