1
00:00:05,179 --> 00:00:06,658
[reporter] Robert Maxwell
2
00:00:06,789 --> 00:00:09,183
is one of Britain's most
influential businessmen.
3
00:00:09,313 --> 00:00:13,013
She said to me, "Don't
forget, I'm Daddy's girl."
4
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:15,493
She was interested in sex.
I mean, we have to say that.
5
00:00:15,580 --> 00:00:18,192
Women were to take off
their tops and bras
6
00:00:18,322 --> 00:00:21,195
and present their
breasts to the men.
7
00:00:21,325 --> 00:00:22,761
Robert Maxwell is dead.
8
00:00:22,892 --> 00:00:24,546
[newsreader] Robert Maxwell's
9
00:00:24,676 --> 00:00:26,722
business empire is
collapsing tonight.
10
00:00:26,852 --> 00:00:29,812
I imagine that she went to
America to get away from that.
11
00:00:29,942 --> 00:00:32,554
[Kornbluth] The only sin in
New York is not to have money.
12
00:00:32,684 --> 00:00:34,295
She met Jeffrey Epstein
13
00:00:34,382 --> 00:00:36,427
and became involved in
a relationship with him.
14
00:00:36,558 --> 00:00:39,082
[Pivar] Jeffrey Epstein was
my best pal for decades.
15
00:00:39,169 --> 00:00:41,171
He appointed me in
charge of Ghislaine.
16
00:00:41,302 --> 00:00:44,044
Many people have
lost their money,
17
00:00:44,174 --> 00:00:46,220
you know, become impoverished.
18
00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:51,051
They don't all turn to crime.
It's not the next step.
19
00:00:53,618 --> 00:00:56,273
You tell me one person you know,
20
00:00:56,404 --> 00:00:58,275
and take 20 people
who know them,
21
00:00:58,362 --> 00:00:59,802
who don't give you
different versions
22
00:00:59,842 --> 00:01:02,062
of what they think
of that person.
23
00:01:02,192 --> 00:01:05,021
[siren wails]
24
00:01:05,152 --> 00:01:07,197
[newsreader] The much
anticipated trial
25
00:01:07,328 --> 00:01:09,721
of accused Jeffrey Epstein
recruiter Ghislaine Maxwell
26
00:01:09,852 --> 00:01:11,897
is now underway
here in New York.
27
00:01:14,248 --> 00:01:17,077
I'd like some answers. Let's
get this show on the road.
28
00:01:17,164 --> 00:01:19,166
[reporter] The prosecution
says Ghislaine Maxwell
29
00:01:19,296 --> 00:01:22,517
lured young girls
with money and gifts
30
00:01:22,647 --> 00:01:24,301
and then subjected
them to sexual abuse.
31
00:01:24,388 --> 00:01:26,825
Her defense argues
she was the one
32
00:01:26,912 --> 00:01:29,437
manipulated by Jeffrey Epstein
33
00:01:29,567 --> 00:01:33,614
and ultimately is now the
scapegoat for Epstein's crimes.
34
00:01:33,745 --> 00:01:38,533
[man over loudspeaker] What do you know,
Ghislaine Maxwell? What do you know?
35
00:01:38,662 --> 00:01:40,815
[newsreader] Maxwell, the
daughter of a British media mogul
36
00:01:40,839 --> 00:01:43,059
and Epstein's former girlfriend
37
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:45,148
faces six criminal counts,
38
00:01:45,279 --> 00:01:47,281
all focused on a
decade-long period
39
00:01:47,411 --> 00:01:50,632
between 1994 and 2004.
40
00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:53,504
[reporter] The prosecution
case likely to hinge
41
00:01:53,635 --> 00:01:55,724
on the testimony of four women.
42
00:01:55,854 --> 00:01:58,030
Three of them will
remain anonymous.
43
00:01:58,161 --> 00:02:01,164
A fourth woman, Annie
Farmer, an American,
44
00:02:01,295 --> 00:02:04,472
um, has waived her anonymity.
45
00:02:04,602 --> 00:02:06,798
[Maria Farmer] It was definitely
Ghislaine who asked me first
46
00:02:06,822 --> 00:02:09,912
about my sister Annie.
47
00:02:10,042 --> 00:02:11,653
I had definitely
bragged about her
48
00:02:11,783 --> 00:02:13,524
to Epstein and to Ghislaine.
49
00:02:13,655 --> 00:02:16,397
In 1995, I was in Palm Beach,
50
00:02:16,527 --> 00:02:19,313
and I was sitting
outside by the pool,
51
00:02:19,443 --> 00:02:22,490
and Ghislaine was, you
know, leaning on a chaise.
52
00:02:22,620 --> 00:02:24,448
And she said, "Oh, it's too bad
53
00:02:24,579 --> 00:02:26,189
Annie's not here
with us, you know."
54
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,757
"It would be very nice
to have her here."
55
00:02:28,887 --> 00:02:32,108
They groomed me for a
year. To get to my sister.
56
00:02:32,195 --> 00:02:35,720
To get to my mom, to-you
know. That's what they did.
57
00:02:35,851 --> 00:02:37,940
The fact that we
believed at the time
58
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:42,727
that she was his wife, uh,
made us feel very safe.
59
00:02:42,858 --> 00:02:46,644
We all believed that Annie would
be safe with a married couple.
60
00:02:46,731 --> 00:02:47,993
Like, why wouldn't she be?
61
00:02:48,124 --> 00:02:49,734
[dramatic music]
62
00:03:04,488 --> 00:03:06,142
[ticking]
63
00:03:06,273 --> 00:03:08,405
[Anne McElvoy] I
saw her, I think,
64
00:03:08,492 --> 00:03:10,929
a couple of years after her
father's death, in New York,
65
00:03:11,060 --> 00:03:13,541
at a party in the early evening
66
00:03:13,671 --> 00:03:16,631
in the Four Seasons Hotel.
67
00:03:18,372 --> 00:03:20,025
She still had her
world in London,
68
00:03:20,156 --> 00:03:22,811
but she had moved her social...
69
00:03:22,940 --> 00:03:27,555
Her operational
base was New York.
70
00:03:27,642 --> 00:03:32,386
She was in a relationship with
Jeffrey Epstein by this time.
71
00:03:32,473 --> 00:03:35,650
He was a very sort of
active giver of parties,
72
00:03:35,779 --> 00:03:38,740
and Ghislaine could
fit into that life
73
00:03:38,870 --> 00:03:42,222
of the Upper East
Side in a heartbeat.
74
00:03:42,352 --> 00:03:44,920
And I think, to her,
that was an achievement.
75
00:03:45,050 --> 00:03:46,443
She was making it in New York.
76
00:03:48,315 --> 00:03:49,881
[Mike Maloney]
Every time you went
77
00:03:50,012 --> 00:03:51,970
to a high-flying, showbiz party,
78
00:03:52,057 --> 00:03:55,104
or a fashion show party,
79
00:03:55,191 --> 00:03:56,410
she would be there.
80
00:03:56,540 --> 00:04:01,153
It's like she was the party,
81
00:04:01,284 --> 00:04:04,200
because she was so glamorous,
beautifully dressed.
82
00:04:04,331 --> 00:04:07,682
She would be hosting
whatever party it was,
83
00:04:07,812 --> 00:04:12,121
even if she wasn't the hostess,
and she would take over.
84
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:16,517
And she was the dominant
person in that party room.
85
00:04:16,647 --> 00:04:20,260
She knew everybody, and she
could work a room brilliantly.
86
00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:25,221
And it was a very
noticeable difference
87
00:04:25,352 --> 00:04:30,226
from London, the early
days, to New York,
88
00:04:30,357 --> 00:04:33,142
where she became
queen of New York.
89
00:04:39,583 --> 00:04:42,064
[Lady Victoria Hervey] Being
a young model, you get invited
90
00:04:42,151 --> 00:04:45,197
to a lot of dinners or events,
91
00:04:45,328 --> 00:04:47,591
and a lot of the times
the men are older
92
00:04:47,722 --> 00:04:49,419
and want to be
surrounded by models.
93
00:04:49,550 --> 00:04:52,770
That's sort of how
it... how it is.
94
00:04:56,905 --> 00:05:01,213
I first met Ghislaine
in the mid '90s.
95
00:05:01,301 --> 00:05:03,520
Most of the time I'd-I'd
seen her in London,
96
00:05:03,651 --> 00:05:06,958
then in New York, then in LA.
97
00:05:07,089 --> 00:05:11,615
For me, having a
title, being who I was,
98
00:05:11,746 --> 00:05:14,488
you know, that made me valuable.
99
00:05:14,618 --> 00:05:17,099
I was like an asset.
100
00:05:17,229 --> 00:05:21,843
She seemed to, like, thrive
on introducing people
101
00:05:21,930 --> 00:05:25,673
and hosting dinners.
102
00:05:25,803 --> 00:05:28,893
One of the dinners I was at, you
know, Bill Clinton was there.
103
00:05:29,024 --> 00:05:32,114
He was the president of the
United States at the time.
104
00:05:32,244 --> 00:05:34,203
It was Ghislaine that
had invited me to it.
105
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:36,727
It definitely showed her power
106
00:05:36,858 --> 00:05:39,382
of being able to pull
these people, you know,
107
00:05:39,469 --> 00:05:41,689
into something that
was very intimate.
108
00:05:41,776 --> 00:05:45,040
And it was like, wow,
OK, she's... she's good.
109
00:05:45,169 --> 00:05:48,478
And I think Jeffrey just
sort of stepped back
110
00:05:48,565 --> 00:05:52,177
and kind of let her do it.
111
00:05:52,308 --> 00:05:56,051
They were like a team. She
was more social than him.
112
00:05:56,138 --> 00:05:58,009
It's almost like she
would bring them in,
113
00:05:58,140 --> 00:05:59,620
you know, to the den,
114
00:05:59,750 --> 00:06:03,624
and then he would do
business with them,
115
00:06:03,711 --> 00:06:05,539
and she looked like
she enjoyed it.
116
00:06:11,196 --> 00:06:14,591
[Leland Nally] Basically, everyone
who knew Epstein said something like,
117
00:06:14,722 --> 00:06:17,420
"Oh, I always knew he
was into young women."
118
00:06:17,551 --> 00:06:20,075
"You know, I didn't really
think anything of it."
119
00:06:20,162 --> 00:06:22,556
And, uh, you know, if
you're talking about, like,
120
00:06:22,686 --> 00:06:25,080
New York in the '80s and '90s,
121
00:06:25,167 --> 00:06:26,995
like, rich billionaires
being into young women
122
00:06:27,082 --> 00:06:29,954
is certainly, like, not that
weird, you know, by any stretch.
123
00:06:30,085 --> 00:06:33,131
But almost everyone
knew very specifically
124
00:06:33,262 --> 00:06:35,003
that Epstein was
the guy who, like,
125
00:06:35,133 --> 00:06:36,874
"Oh, he likes young girls."
126
00:06:44,752 --> 00:06:46,512
[Nally over recording]
Hello. Is this Stuart?
127
00:06:46,623 --> 00:06:48,408
- [Pivar] Yes.
- [Nally] Hey. How's it going?
128
00:06:48,495 --> 00:06:51,759
I'm a writer. I'm doing a
story on Jeffrey Epstein.
129
00:06:51,846 --> 00:06:53,978
I was-I was wondering if
maybe you wanted to talk,
130
00:06:54,109 --> 00:06:57,025
if you had any interactions
with him or ever met him?
131
00:06:57,112 --> 00:06:59,027
[Pivar] Jeffrey had no
attention span whatever.
132
00:06:59,114 --> 00:07:02,422
- [Nally laughs]
- It was about 30 seconds.
133
00:07:02,509 --> 00:07:05,337
Uh, he would inter-he would
interrupt the conversation
134
00:07:05,425 --> 00:07:07,601
and change it, and
say things like,
135
00:07:07,688 --> 00:07:09,472
"What does that got
to do with pussy?"
136
00:07:09,559 --> 00:07:11,779
- [Nally laughs] Really?
- That was his...
137
00:07:11,909 --> 00:07:13,607
Yeah, that was his
favorite expression.
138
00:07:13,737 --> 00:07:15,522
In other words, it
was a subject changer.
139
00:07:15,609 --> 00:07:18,002
And it revealed what
was really in his mind.
140
00:07:18,133 --> 00:07:22,485
Then, by chance, had
a partner, Ghislaine,
141
00:07:22,616 --> 00:07:24,661
who was a basket case.
142
00:07:24,792 --> 00:07:26,228
[Nally] Right.
143
00:07:26,358 --> 00:07:28,448
[Pivar] The story
is more bizarre
144
00:07:28,578 --> 00:07:30,493
than-than people
begin to realize.
145
00:07:30,580 --> 00:07:32,887
She arrived on these shores
146
00:07:33,017 --> 00:07:37,457
a depressed,
dysfunctional wreck,
147
00:07:37,544 --> 00:07:41,635
from what happened to her
on account of her father.
148
00:07:41,765 --> 00:07:42,853
[Nally] Right.
149
00:07:42,984 --> 00:07:44,115
[Pivar] And the last thing
150
00:07:44,246 --> 00:07:45,246
that should have happened
151
00:07:45,334 --> 00:07:46,335
to someone like that
152
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:47,641
is to fall into the care
153
00:07:47,771 --> 00:07:49,164
of the likes of Jeffrey.
154
00:07:49,294 --> 00:07:50,513
[Nally] Sure.
155
00:07:50,644 --> 00:07:53,037
[Pivar] He molded her
156
00:07:53,168 --> 00:07:56,519
in-into being complicit
157
00:07:57,999 --> 00:08:01,437
with his aberrations.
158
00:08:04,571 --> 00:08:07,008
[McElvoy] I think it was
a bit of an open secret
159
00:08:07,138 --> 00:08:09,010
that he was seeing other women,
160
00:08:09,140 --> 00:08:12,274
but she didn't
walk away from it,
161
00:08:12,404 --> 00:08:15,103
and she wanted to
remain in his life,
162
00:08:15,233 --> 00:08:18,933
and if he was going
to see other people,
163
00:08:19,063 --> 00:08:20,804
then she would
rather know about it
164
00:08:20,934 --> 00:08:22,850
and, in a sense,
have some say in it.
165
00:08:22,937 --> 00:08:25,895
So I think that was
166
00:08:26,026 --> 00:08:28,508
hidden in plain sight.
167
00:08:28,595 --> 00:08:31,467
I was told by a very
close friend of Ghislaine
168
00:08:31,598 --> 00:08:35,166
that she'd been at
an event in New York,
169
00:08:35,297 --> 00:08:38,474
and then Ghislaine says, "Well,
I've got to go now. I-you know"
170
00:08:38,605 --> 00:08:41,172
"See you after the event,
171
00:08:41,303 --> 00:08:44,306
'cause I've got to go and
get some girls for Jeffrey."
172
00:08:45,568 --> 00:08:48,702
It stuck in my mind afterwards
173
00:08:48,832 --> 00:08:51,748
that she thought it was her job.
174
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:54,142
So almost like it was a duty.
175
00:08:54,229 --> 00:08:56,623
And when do you stop
and say, hang on,
176
00:08:56,753 --> 00:09:01,366
this has gone from just a bit
questionable or even seedy,
177
00:09:01,497 --> 00:09:02,672
to something worse?
178
00:09:05,936 --> 00:09:08,069
[Mariella Frostrup] I met
her at a dinner in New York
179
00:09:08,199 --> 00:09:10,245
sometime in the '90s.
180
00:09:10,375 --> 00:09:14,989
It was a sort of well-heeled,
Upper East Side dinner party.
181
00:09:15,119 --> 00:09:17,557
She looked fantastic,
and I hadn't seen her
182
00:09:17,687 --> 00:09:20,864
for probably nearly
a decade, maybe.
183
00:09:20,951 --> 00:09:22,997
She was exactly as
she'd always been.
184
00:09:23,127 --> 00:09:24,433
She was incredibly friendly.
185
00:09:24,564 --> 00:09:26,087
"Tell me all about you."
186
00:09:26,217 --> 00:09:28,045
"What have you been doing?"
187
00:09:28,176 --> 00:09:29,632
And she kept going, "So
what's it like in London?"
188
00:09:29,656 --> 00:09:31,048
"What's happening in London?"
189
00:09:31,179 --> 00:09:33,181
And I said, "What
are you doing here?"
190
00:09:33,311 --> 00:09:34,965
"You know, why don't
you come home?"
191
00:09:35,096 --> 00:09:36,837
And she said, "Yes", she said,
192
00:09:36,967 --> 00:09:39,579
"sometimes I think
of coming home."
193
00:09:39,666 --> 00:09:42,582
And-and then she said, "But I'm
involved in this relationship,
194
00:09:42,712 --> 00:09:44,409
and it's really complicated."
195
00:09:44,540 --> 00:09:45,889
I said, "Why is it complicated?"
196
00:09:45,976 --> 00:09:47,563
And she said, "It's
just very complicated,
197
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:49,545
and I'm entangled,
198
00:09:49,676 --> 00:09:52,722
and it's very difficult
to extract myself."
199
00:09:52,853 --> 00:09:54,419
"And I know it's
not good for me,
200
00:09:54,506 --> 00:09:57,292
but I don't feel like I
can get out right now."
201
00:09:59,947 --> 00:10:05,169
I wonder if one day the
totally unacceptable
202
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:08,042
blurred with the
almost acceptable,
203
00:10:08,172 --> 00:10:10,610
and once she'd stepped
over that line,
204
00:10:10,697 --> 00:10:12,742
there was no coming back.
205
00:10:17,442 --> 00:10:20,228
[Farmer] When I first met
Ghislaine, she looked so elegant.
206
00:10:20,358 --> 00:10:22,752
I could see why people
thought she was beautiful.
207
00:10:22,883 --> 00:10:26,713
And that very quickly faded
when I got to know her.
208
00:10:29,063 --> 00:10:34,372
I uh, was an art student
in Manhattan in 1995,
209
00:10:34,503 --> 00:10:38,115
when I had the unfortunate
experience of uh, connecting
210
00:10:38,246 --> 00:10:41,031
with Jeffrey Epstein
and Ghislaine Maxwell.
211
00:10:43,164 --> 00:10:46,863
The second time I met her,
she was being very foolish,
212
00:10:46,994 --> 00:10:49,300
like in a very high-school way.
213
00:10:49,431 --> 00:10:53,348
We sat down to dinner, and she
hands around this brown bag,
214
00:10:53,478 --> 00:10:56,656
and when we reached in, there
were falsies in the brown bag,
215
00:10:56,786 --> 00:10:59,354
and, like, condoms
and weird sex things.
216
00:10:59,484 --> 00:11:01,835
And I was like, I don't
wanna play this game.
217
00:11:01,965 --> 00:11:05,273
So immediately I
knew she was weird.
218
00:11:11,758 --> 00:11:14,935
I only worked for Jeffrey
and Ghislaine for a year.
219
00:11:15,065 --> 00:11:17,372
I was just a student, and
I didn't have any money.
220
00:11:17,502 --> 00:11:19,896
I was living
hand-to-mouth, starving,
221
00:11:19,983 --> 00:11:21,143
and so I was stuck with them.
222
00:11:21,202 --> 00:11:23,508
And I worked at the door,
223
00:11:23,639 --> 00:11:26,381
and all that it entailed
was sitting there
224
00:11:26,511 --> 00:11:28,949
with a large white book,
225
00:11:29,036 --> 00:11:31,081
and everyone that
came in and out
226
00:11:31,212 --> 00:11:32,213
had to be signed in.
227
00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:36,304
One time Ghislaine
walked over and said,
228
00:11:36,434 --> 00:11:37,994
"Look at the pinhole
right next to you."
229
00:11:38,088 --> 00:11:40,308
And she's pointing
right next to my head,
230
00:11:40,438 --> 00:11:43,833
and it was very disconcerting,
and so I asked Jeffrey,
231
00:11:43,964 --> 00:11:47,445
and he took me in the room
where all those cameras led.
232
00:11:47,532 --> 00:11:49,612
And it was like the old kind
of TV screens, you know,
233
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:54,061
this is 1995, so they're,
like, stacked but in shelves.
234
00:11:54,191 --> 00:11:58,543
And all the pictures were
like private, you know,
235
00:11:58,674 --> 00:12:02,722
like the restroom, or the
bedroom, or the wherever.
236
00:12:02,852 --> 00:12:04,612
It wasn't, like, pointed
to the outside of the house
237
00:12:04,636 --> 00:12:06,160
where people were coming in,
238
00:12:06,290 --> 00:12:07,877
and you're watching
the people walking by.
239
00:12:07,901 --> 00:12:10,425
It was inside the house.
240
00:12:10,555 --> 00:12:14,168
One of the most disturbing
things was that Ghislaine
241
00:12:14,298 --> 00:12:17,519
would have all these young
teens coming and going,
242
00:12:17,649 --> 00:12:19,129
and they were all girls,
243
00:12:19,260 --> 00:12:22,002
and they were sometimes
in school uniforms.
244
00:12:22,132 --> 00:12:23,699
I asked her what they were,
245
00:12:23,830 --> 00:12:25,962
and she said models
for Victoria's Secret.
246
00:12:26,093 --> 00:12:29,183
And after a while, I said,
"They can't be models,
247
00:12:29,313 --> 00:12:30,593
because they don't have breasts,
248
00:12:30,706 --> 00:12:32,186
and Victoria's Secret's, like,
249
00:12:32,316 --> 00:12:33,709
you know, they sell bras."
250
00:12:33,796 --> 00:12:35,450
And she said, "No, no, no."
251
00:12:35,537 --> 00:12:37,365
She said, "The limited
corporation, Maria,
252
00:12:37,495 --> 00:12:39,671
has every kind of
company involved."
253
00:12:39,802 --> 00:12:42,196
"They have all kinds of models
254
00:12:42,326 --> 00:12:44,154
for whatever that
they're selling,
255
00:12:44,241 --> 00:12:46,156
so there are
children that model."
256
00:12:46,287 --> 00:12:48,985
It just seemed very strange.
257
00:12:49,072 --> 00:12:53,381
The only person that was
scouting "models" was Ghislaine.
258
00:12:53,511 --> 00:12:55,122
And she was going out every day.
259
00:12:55,252 --> 00:12:56,645
That was her full-time job.
260
00:12:56,732 --> 00:12:58,821
I mean, that's what she told me.
261
00:12:58,952 --> 00:13:02,259
Ghislaine would go and get
people out of Central Park.
262
00:13:02,390 --> 00:13:04,827
She would go around the
time that school was ending.
263
00:13:04,958 --> 00:13:07,787
And she would do this
from the limousine,
264
00:13:07,917 --> 00:13:10,659
and she would do this walking
across to Central Park,
265
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:13,401
or walking by the schools.
266
00:13:13,531 --> 00:13:15,795
She invited me into
the car with her,
267
00:13:15,925 --> 00:13:17,971
and I saw her jump out,
268
00:13:18,101 --> 00:13:20,060
give her phone number to a girl,
269
00:13:20,190 --> 00:13:22,410
who was definitely
a high-school child,
270
00:13:22,540 --> 00:13:25,282
and then run back with a number.
271
00:13:25,369 --> 00:13:28,459
And then that child showed up,
you know, as-as one of the models.
272
00:13:28,590 --> 00:13:32,028
So that's how I knew, you
know, she was doing it.
273
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:35,640
Sometimes there were parents
with them, but very rarely.
274
00:13:35,727 --> 00:13:40,471
And I remember um, a little
girl walking downstairs crying,
275
00:13:40,602 --> 00:13:44,432
and she was wearing a uniform,
and I thought, what happened?
276
00:13:44,519 --> 00:13:46,695
And Ghislaine said, "She
didn't get the job."
277
00:13:46,826 --> 00:13:48,566
"Some people aren't
cut out for modeling."
278
00:13:48,697 --> 00:13:51,656
You know, and I'm like,
"Whoa. She's a kid."
279
00:13:51,787 --> 00:13:53,963
And I was like, I
don't like this job.
280
00:13:54,094 --> 00:13:55,593
You know, I didn't
know what was going on.
281
00:13:55,617 --> 00:13:57,271
I just didn't like it.
282
00:13:57,401 --> 00:13:59,099
The energy was really bad.
283
00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:09,065
[Christina Oxenberg] One
day I got a phone call
284
00:14:09,196 --> 00:14:11,415
from Ghislaine Maxwell's office
285
00:14:11,546 --> 00:14:16,768
asking me if I would take
a meeting with Ghislaine.
286
00:14:16,899 --> 00:14:19,989
I had just published a book
which I called Royal Blue,
287
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,863
and it was a
semi-autobiographical,
288
00:14:23,993 --> 00:14:25,516
uh, story of my childhood.
289
00:14:25,647 --> 00:14:27,257
I don't believe
she read the book.
290
00:14:27,388 --> 00:14:29,825
I think she read the reviews.
291
00:14:29,956 --> 00:14:33,176
I go in, and she
launches right into it,
292
00:14:33,307 --> 00:14:36,614
and she says, "I
want my Royal Blue."
293
00:14:36,745 --> 00:14:39,748
"I want you to ghostwrite it."
294
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,577
And then she starts pitching me.
295
00:14:42,707 --> 00:14:45,362
She says, "I want you to
live with me for a year
296
00:14:45,493 --> 00:14:48,235
and get to know everything
and see everything."
297
00:14:48,365 --> 00:14:51,238
"You're gonna meet everyone."
298
00:14:51,368 --> 00:14:53,849
And then she finishes up with,
299
00:14:53,980 --> 00:14:56,808
"I'm gonna give you
a lot of money."
300
00:14:56,896 --> 00:15:01,248
And I did not say anything.
I don't look jubilant.
301
00:15:01,378 --> 00:15:06,166
Now she changes tack
completely. She starts to beg.
302
00:15:06,296 --> 00:15:10,518
And she says, "Please, you
have to write this book for me,
303
00:15:10,648 --> 00:15:13,738
because I want
Jeffrey to marry me."
304
00:15:13,869 --> 00:15:17,133
She says, "I need
Jeffrey to see me
305
00:15:17,264 --> 00:15:20,049
in a different light."
306
00:15:20,180 --> 00:15:23,139
And she says this
extraordinary thing to me.
307
00:15:23,270 --> 00:15:28,188
She says, "Jeffrey has to
have three orgasms a day,
308
00:15:28,318 --> 00:15:32,235
and it's been determined by
the best doctors in the world,
309
00:15:32,366 --> 00:15:34,368
and I help him
310
00:15:34,498 --> 00:15:38,546
'cause I cannot keep
up with his libido."
311
00:15:38,676 --> 00:15:40,548
She tells me that she recruits
312
00:15:40,635 --> 00:15:43,159
three girls a day.
313
00:15:43,290 --> 00:15:48,077
And she says, "What I do is
when we're in Palm Beach,
314
00:15:48,164 --> 00:15:52,386
I get in my car and I
drive to the trailer parks,
315
00:15:52,516 --> 00:15:54,997
and I look for Jeffrey's type,
316
00:15:55,084 --> 00:15:58,435
and when I see what
I'm looking for,
317
00:15:58,566 --> 00:16:01,221
I approach, I make a deal,
318
00:16:01,308 --> 00:16:03,919
I bring them home."
319
00:16:04,050 --> 00:16:06,661
It was like you're
ordering in food,
320
00:16:06,791 --> 00:16:08,334
and then you order in
new food the next...
321
00:16:08,358 --> 00:16:11,492
It was just offensive.
322
00:16:11,622 --> 00:16:13,581
I'm disgusted with her,
323
00:16:13,711 --> 00:16:18,325
and so I now lose my
temper, which I can do,
324
00:16:18,455 --> 00:16:22,372
and I say to her, "What
are you talking about?"
325
00:16:23,547 --> 00:16:25,114
"Who are these girls?"
326
00:16:25,245 --> 00:16:29,553
And she says to me,
"They are nothing."
327
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,991
"They are trash."
328
00:16:35,907 --> 00:16:38,388
[Farmer] She treated us
like useless peasants.
329
00:16:38,475 --> 00:16:41,870
That's how she spoke to people
that she deemed beneath her.
330
00:16:42,001 --> 00:16:45,830
And it-it was shocking. You
know, I was called a nobody.
331
00:16:45,917 --> 00:16:47,354
And it was so strange,
332
00:16:47,484 --> 00:16:48,703
because there was a part of me
333
00:16:48,833 --> 00:16:50,531
that admired them so much.
334
00:17:01,716 --> 00:17:04,036
Ghislaine knocked on the door,
and she was in her bathrobe,
335
00:17:04,110 --> 00:17:07,156
and it wasn't even properly
tied, and I felt uncomfortable.
336
00:17:07,243 --> 00:17:09,245
So she started walking
me down the hallway
337
00:17:09,376 --> 00:17:11,291
to a room I wasn't
allowed to go to.
338
00:17:11,421 --> 00:17:13,248
I was told very strict rules,
339
00:17:13,380 --> 00:17:15,208
not to even ever go
in this one room.
340
00:17:15,338 --> 00:17:17,036
It was Jeffrey's room there,
341
00:17:17,166 --> 00:17:20,735
and um, I got this
really bad feeling.
342
00:17:21,953 --> 00:17:24,086
I walked in and I just knew.
343
00:17:24,217 --> 00:17:27,655
Ghislaine instructs me to rub
his feet and I'm like, you know.
344
00:17:27,785 --> 00:17:30,223
And I-I was not good
at it on purpose.
345
00:17:30,353 --> 00:17:34,444
And Jeffrey um, said,
you know, "Sit up here".
346
00:17:34,531 --> 00:17:36,272
And I sat between them.
347
00:17:37,969 --> 00:17:42,757
And I felt really
uncomfortable, obviously,
348
00:17:42,887 --> 00:17:46,021
but I thought, well, maybe it's
not gonna be something bad.
349
00:17:46,152 --> 00:17:47,762
You know, they're
just so weird anyway.
350
00:17:47,849 --> 00:17:49,677
Maybe this is part of it.
351
00:17:49,764 --> 00:17:52,027
But, no, it was something bad.
352
00:17:52,114 --> 00:17:53,811
And they began to assault me,
353
00:17:53,942 --> 00:17:57,511
and they were both,
like, doing it together.
354
00:17:57,641 --> 00:18:01,602
It became like this
mechanical, you know, assault.
355
00:18:01,732 --> 00:18:04,257
But Ghislaine seemed to be the
only-the only one enjoying it,
356
00:18:04,387 --> 00:18:06,694
let me put it that way,
because I was crying,
357
00:18:06,824 --> 00:18:08,565
and she was, like,
rubbing my tear
358
00:18:08,696 --> 00:18:11,177
and wiping my hand and
loving all over me.
359
00:18:11,307 --> 00:18:15,006
And, um... I at some point
360
00:18:15,137 --> 00:18:17,183
just kind of forced myself up
361
00:18:17,313 --> 00:18:19,010
and, like, rolled up and got up
362
00:18:19,141 --> 00:18:21,187
and-and just ran
out of the room.
363
00:18:21,317 --> 00:18:24,842
And I pushed this piece of
furniture up against the door,
364
00:18:24,973 --> 00:18:26,453
just waited all night,
365
00:18:26,583 --> 00:18:29,499
until they left that
morning around eight.
366
00:18:29,586 --> 00:18:32,937
When I got home, the phone rang,
367
00:18:33,068 --> 00:18:34,939
and it was Ghislaine,
368
00:18:35,026 --> 00:18:37,116
and I'd been there maybe
just, like, an hour.
369
00:18:37,246 --> 00:18:39,944
And she said, "Hey, Maria,
370
00:18:40,075 --> 00:18:42,643
um, what do you want?"
371
00:18:42,730 --> 00:18:45,602
So I said, "I'm
going to the police."
372
00:18:45,689 --> 00:18:47,735
When I called the
FBI to report it,
373
00:18:47,865 --> 00:18:51,347
I made Ghislaine
Maxwell's role very clear.
374
00:18:51,478 --> 00:18:54,916
So they have known what role
Ghislaine Maxwell played
375
00:18:55,046 --> 00:18:56,961
since 1996 when I told them.
376
00:18:57,092 --> 00:18:58,789
And I'm so angry,
377
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,489
because they allowed it
to exist for 26 years.
378
00:19:02,576 --> 00:19:04,099
They created most
of these victims
379
00:19:04,186 --> 00:19:05,753
you're hearing from today.
380
00:19:05,883 --> 00:19:08,669
Almost all of them
happened after my report.
381
00:19:11,628 --> 00:19:15,719
I think one of the great
tragedies of this story
382
00:19:15,850 --> 00:19:20,333
is what happened, or, more
accurately, what didn't happen
383
00:19:20,420 --> 00:19:24,380
when Maria Farmer
uh, was abused.
384
00:19:24,511 --> 00:19:26,426
Nobody paid attention.
385
00:19:26,556 --> 00:19:30,821
It was one young girl's word
386
00:19:30,952 --> 00:19:34,608
against rich, powerful,
connected people.
387
00:19:34,738 --> 00:19:38,699
If the prosecutors
had done their job
388
00:19:38,786 --> 00:19:40,788
in the 1990s,
389
00:19:40,918 --> 00:19:45,662
this could have
been stopped, ended,
390
00:19:45,793 --> 00:19:50,406
without the hundreds
of young girls
391
00:19:50,537 --> 00:19:54,454
who were then going to be abused
over the next two decades.
392
00:19:54,541 --> 00:19:58,327
Dozens, hundreds of young girls'
lives could have been saved.
393
00:20:06,292 --> 00:20:07,989
[Teresa Helm] When
I was 22 years old,
394
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,774
I was in massage therapy school.
395
00:20:10,905 --> 00:20:14,865
There was a girl who told me
that there was someone hiring
396
00:20:14,996 --> 00:20:19,000
for a position traveling
the world, in a private jet,
397
00:20:19,130 --> 00:20:22,612
with private chefs, as
a massage therapist.
398
00:20:22,699 --> 00:20:27,400
And that sounded like a
wonderful opportunity.
399
00:20:29,532 --> 00:20:33,580
Within a couple of weeks,
I had travel arrangements
400
00:20:33,710 --> 00:20:36,931
to fly to New York
City from Los Angeles.
401
00:20:37,061 --> 00:20:41,457
I was excited. I was a
little nervous, of course.
402
00:20:41,588 --> 00:20:45,983
I had a time and an address to
go meet, you know, Miss Maxwell.
403
00:20:47,855 --> 00:20:50,205
I walk in, and the
whole place is stunning,
404
00:20:50,336 --> 00:20:53,600
and I was asked to
go up the stairs,
405
00:20:53,730 --> 00:20:57,256
and at the top of the stairs
406
00:20:57,386 --> 00:20:59,606
there's a butler standing there
407
00:20:59,736 --> 00:21:03,087
with full tuxedo, with
the vest and the coattail,
408
00:21:03,218 --> 00:21:05,916
and he's standing there
holding a silver tray.
409
00:21:06,047 --> 00:21:08,092
I mean, I kind of
laughed to myself a bit,
410
00:21:08,223 --> 00:21:10,791
because this is not normal.
411
00:21:10,921 --> 00:21:13,272
This is like movie type stuff.
412
00:21:13,402 --> 00:21:15,143
A few moments later,
413
00:21:15,230 --> 00:21:19,060
Miss Maxwell comes out
in a white bathrobe.
414
00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:22,193
She was asking me all types
of questions about myself,
415
00:21:22,324 --> 00:21:27,198
and we spoke about things
like our birthdays,
416
00:21:27,329 --> 00:21:29,462
you know, hers being
the 25th of December,
417
00:21:29,592 --> 00:21:31,551
mine being the 26th
of the Dec-ofDecember,
418
00:21:31,638 --> 00:21:34,858
and what that meant
to us growing up.
419
00:21:34,989 --> 00:21:37,470
I spoke about my dad to her,
420
00:21:37,557 --> 00:21:40,255
and she spoke about
her dad to me.
421
00:21:40,386 --> 00:21:43,302
There was never a disconnect
in our conversation,
422
00:21:43,432 --> 00:21:48,524
and I just thought,
how incredible is this?
423
00:21:48,655 --> 00:21:52,572
Even though I was in this
home that was beautiful,
424
00:21:52,702 --> 00:21:55,792
with this educated
woman, successful woman,
425
00:21:55,923 --> 00:21:57,794
there was never a time
426
00:21:57,925 --> 00:22:00,231
that I felt like... like
I didn't belong there.
427
00:22:00,362 --> 00:22:02,277
I felt like I did belong there.
428
00:22:02,408 --> 00:22:04,714
I felt like I did
belong with her.
429
00:22:04,801 --> 00:22:07,978
I felt connected to this woman,
430
00:22:08,109 --> 00:22:11,199
uh, in a sense that
I didn't feel like
431
00:22:11,330 --> 00:22:13,070
I was any different from her.
432
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,033
After the massage, she said,
433
00:22:19,163 --> 00:22:22,602
"I want you to go now meet
with my partner Jeffrey
434
00:22:22,732 --> 00:22:25,256
for another portion
of the interview."
435
00:22:25,387 --> 00:22:27,868
And she says to me
directly, she said,
436
00:22:27,998 --> 00:22:30,305
"Make sure you give
Jeffrey what he wants,
437
00:22:30,436 --> 00:22:33,264
because Jeffrey always
gets what he wants."
438
00:22:36,224 --> 00:22:38,705
I leave Ghislaine's townhouse
439
00:22:38,835 --> 00:22:43,579
with a sense of
accomplishment and confidence,
440
00:22:43,666 --> 00:22:48,279
and like it couldn't
have gone any better.
441
00:22:48,410 --> 00:22:51,631
This was going to be my future.
442
00:22:55,983 --> 00:22:58,855
I walked to Jeffrey's home.
443
00:22:58,986 --> 00:23:01,380
I was let in.
444
00:23:01,510 --> 00:23:04,992
And Jeffrey's like,
let's go to my office.
445
00:23:07,342 --> 00:23:11,738
So... I'm sitting
there on the couch,
446
00:23:11,868 --> 00:23:14,567
and he put his foot up on my leg
447
00:23:14,697 --> 00:23:16,960
and asked me for a foot massage.
448
00:23:17,091 --> 00:23:21,182
I didn't know that there was
going to be a massage involved,
449
00:23:21,312 --> 00:23:25,316
but, nonetheless, I start
working on his foot.
450
00:23:25,447 --> 00:23:27,754
He's pushing his foot further
and further up my leg,
451
00:23:27,884 --> 00:23:30,191
to the point where it's
pressing into my body
452
00:23:30,321 --> 00:23:32,759
in very inappropriate ways.
453
00:23:33,716 --> 00:23:35,239
So I got up,
454
00:23:35,326 --> 00:23:37,328
and he's, you know,
right behind me,
455
00:23:37,459 --> 00:23:40,201
and he assaulted me there.
456
00:23:41,855 --> 00:23:45,685
I took off down the stairs,
457
00:23:45,815 --> 00:23:48,992
and I walked out the door.
458
00:23:49,079 --> 00:23:50,907
I didn't look up the whole way.
459
00:23:50,994 --> 00:23:54,258
It's like... every
seam in the sidewalk,
460
00:23:54,345 --> 00:23:57,392
I was just, like, looking at
seam after seam after seam.
461
00:23:57,523 --> 00:24:01,570
And I walked straight back, you
know, to where I was staying.
462
00:24:03,267 --> 00:24:05,531
And I-I sat in that
apartment, you know,
463
00:24:05,661 --> 00:24:07,620
the-the remainder of the night
464
00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:10,318
until the time that the driver
465
00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:13,713
was taking me back
to the airport.
466
00:24:13,843 --> 00:24:17,673
And as I got in the car,
he... the driver said,
467
00:24:17,804 --> 00:24:20,459
"Oh, we're waiting
on someone else."
468
00:24:20,589 --> 00:24:24,854
And, you know, this other
girl gets in the car,
469
00:24:24,985 --> 00:24:29,250
and she had asked me
470
00:24:29,380 --> 00:24:31,470
what I had... was there for.
471
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,864
And she's like, "Do you
think it was weird?"
472
00:24:34,995 --> 00:24:37,084
And I didn't respond.
473
00:24:37,214 --> 00:24:38,912
She said, "I just
wanna go home".
474
00:24:40,653 --> 00:24:43,090
And I didn't say a word
475
00:24:43,220 --> 00:24:45,135
the entire rest of the way.
476
00:24:49,575 --> 00:24:51,794
Everybody wants to talk
about, well, what happened?
477
00:24:51,881 --> 00:24:54,536
How did he abuse
you? What did he do?
478
00:24:54,623 --> 00:24:56,843
And-and it's not
focused on Ghislaine.
479
00:24:56,973 --> 00:24:58,888
It's focused on him.
480
00:24:59,019 --> 00:25:00,934
And that frustrates me.
481
00:25:01,021 --> 00:25:05,242
I was faced with the
absolute betrayal
482
00:25:05,329 --> 00:25:07,941
of this woman.
483
00:25:08,071 --> 00:25:12,423
I felt so connected to Ghislaine
484
00:25:12,511 --> 00:25:15,557
in that short amount
of time in her home.
485
00:25:15,688 --> 00:25:19,866
The betrayal was just so deep,
486
00:25:19,996 --> 00:25:22,825
because she got me there,
487
00:25:22,956 --> 00:25:26,133
she got me to the
point of abuse.
488
00:25:26,220 --> 00:25:28,352
She groomed me
489
00:25:28,483 --> 00:25:32,400
to walk myself to the home
of a predator willingly.
490
00:25:32,487 --> 00:25:35,882
She was beyond
491
00:25:36,012 --> 00:25:38,885
a cog in the wheel of it.
492
00:25:39,015 --> 00:25:40,800
She facilitated it.
493
00:25:40,930 --> 00:25:44,368
She made the network happen.
494
00:25:52,463 --> 00:25:54,863
[Nally] I think the idea that,
you know, Epstein and Ghislaine
495
00:25:54,944 --> 00:25:56,642
were as rich and
glamorous as they were,
496
00:25:56,772 --> 00:25:59,253
people treat them
enormously different
497
00:25:59,383 --> 00:26:01,516
than uh, any other
kind of person
498
00:26:01,647 --> 00:26:04,127
who would do
something like this.
499
00:26:04,258 --> 00:26:06,279
I definitely encountered,
you know, people close to him
500
00:26:06,303 --> 00:26:10,612
who were always, like, finding
increasingly bizarre ways
501
00:26:10,699 --> 00:26:14,921
to try to rationalize, you
know, Epstein's uh, behavior.
502
00:26:15,051 --> 00:26:17,053
[Pivar] Jeffrey
had a severe case
503
00:26:17,140 --> 00:26:18,620
of what's called satyriasis,
504
00:26:18,751 --> 00:26:20,274
the male counterpoint...
505
00:26:20,404 --> 00:26:22,537
counterpart of nymphomania.
506
00:26:22,624 --> 00:26:25,018
- [Nally] Yeah.
- Which he could not control.
507
00:26:25,148 --> 00:26:27,368
[Nally] What was
his relationship...
508
00:26:27,498 --> 00:26:29,172
[Pivar] Look, probably
a lot of men have that,
509
00:26:29,196 --> 00:26:30,458
for all I know,
510
00:26:30,589 --> 00:26:32,068
except very few of them
511
00:26:32,155 --> 00:26:36,246
have the money to, let us say,
512
00:26:36,333 --> 00:26:38,640
to treat themselves to sex
513
00:26:38,771 --> 00:26:41,469
three times a day
with young girls.
514
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,558
And if there was only
one of them who did it,
515
00:26:43,689 --> 00:26:45,299
no one would have noticed,
516
00:26:45,429 --> 00:26:47,301
except he made an
industry out of it.
517
00:26:47,431 --> 00:26:49,390
And why did he make
an industry out of it?
518
00:26:49,477 --> 00:26:53,873
Because Jeffrey was a
very, very, very sick man.
519
00:26:54,003 --> 00:26:55,222
[Nally] So were
you ever around
520
00:26:55,352 --> 00:26:57,485
for any instances of these?
521
00:26:57,616 --> 00:27:00,706
[Pivar] No, I never
saw him fool around...
522
00:27:00,793 --> 00:27:03,926
In fact, Jeffrey was a very,
very close friend of mine.
523
00:27:04,057 --> 00:27:06,320
- [Nally] Yeah.
- And he shielded me.
524
00:27:06,450 --> 00:27:08,148
And I-I never saw what he did,
525
00:27:08,278 --> 00:27:10,585
until finally I did
notice certain things,
526
00:27:10,716 --> 00:27:12,636
and that was the end of
me having to do with him.
527
00:27:12,761 --> 00:27:15,285
He never invited me
to the Isle of Babes.
528
00:27:15,372 --> 00:27:17,374
- [Nally] OK.
- Luckily.
529
00:27:17,505 --> 00:27:19,594
I never knew it was even there.
530
00:27:28,298 --> 00:27:31,693
[Lisa Phillips] Pulling up
on the boat to the island,
531
00:27:31,824 --> 00:27:34,870
I just remember it being just
really magical and so beautiful.
532
00:27:34,957 --> 00:27:38,221
And it's like, "Wow, how
could someone live here?"
533
00:27:38,352 --> 00:27:42,399
And it felt kind of
special that we were going.
534
00:27:42,486 --> 00:27:45,707
And of course there was
young, beautiful people there.
535
00:27:45,794 --> 00:27:48,362
I just thought, you know,
it's just like a getaway
536
00:27:48,492 --> 00:27:51,670
and a fun place to go to.
537
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,673
But when we left there,
it just was a place
538
00:27:54,803 --> 00:27:57,458
that I never really
wanted to return to.
539
00:27:57,588 --> 00:28:01,592
And I just couldn't wait
to get, you know, away.
540
00:28:04,030 --> 00:28:07,598
[Miles Alexander] In 1998,
there was a job advertised
541
00:28:07,729 --> 00:28:11,820
for a management couple for
an island in the Caribbean.
542
00:28:11,951 --> 00:28:14,693
And then from our interviews,
all the way through to the end,
543
00:28:14,823 --> 00:28:18,261
there were always women around.
544
00:28:18,392 --> 00:28:22,831
I'm Miles Alexander, and this is
Cathy, my wife of 30-odd years.
545
00:28:22,918 --> 00:28:25,529
I was employed as
the island manager,
546
00:28:25,616 --> 00:28:28,532
and Cathy was employed as
the housekeeping manager.
547
00:28:35,844 --> 00:28:37,672
[Cathy] Miss
Maxwell did explain
548
00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:39,805
that there would be a
lot of women around.
549
00:28:39,935 --> 00:28:41,502
[Miles] She used
to refer to it
550
00:28:41,632 --> 00:28:44,548
as the bees around
the honey pot.
551
00:28:44,679 --> 00:28:46,637
[laughs]
552
00:28:46,768 --> 00:28:48,746
She said, "You'll see lots
of bees around the honey pot,
553
00:28:48,770 --> 00:28:51,120
but I'm the queen bee,
always remember that."
554
00:28:51,251 --> 00:28:53,601
- And we've never forgotten.
- We've never forgotten that.
555
00:28:53,732 --> 00:28:55,777
Shall we have a look
at some photographs?
556
00:28:55,908 --> 00:28:57,561
Why not? I'm going
to sit this side.
557
00:28:57,648 --> 00:28:58,824
[Cathy laughs]
558
00:28:58,911 --> 00:29:00,782
Remember this?
559
00:29:00,869 --> 00:29:03,480
Yeah, that's where
we used to live.
560
00:29:03,567 --> 00:29:07,267
1999, if you
remember, we arrived.
561
00:29:07,397 --> 00:29:09,095
That's the complex at the top,
562
00:29:09,225 --> 00:29:11,662
with the master bedroom
down there, the great room,
563
00:29:11,793 --> 00:29:15,144
kitchen and office, and
the three little buildings.
564
00:29:15,275 --> 00:29:18,278
We had no real beaches, so
we had to create beaches.
565
00:29:18,408 --> 00:29:21,803
Then ultimately he wanted to
see a view of another island.
566
00:29:21,934 --> 00:29:24,632
So we started digging
the mountain away,
567
00:29:24,763 --> 00:29:26,416
taking the whole mountain away,
568
00:29:26,503 --> 00:29:29,376
so you could see what was
called Dog Island at the time.
569
00:29:30,638 --> 00:29:31,987
[Cathy] There's our kitchen,
570
00:29:32,118 --> 00:29:34,903
and there's me baking, probably.
571
00:29:35,034 --> 00:29:38,907
Miss Maxwell as an employer
was very demanding.
572
00:29:39,038 --> 00:29:41,170
She basically took her
pound of flesh, eh?
573
00:29:41,257 --> 00:29:43,085
Yeah. We used to call
her Hurricane Maxwell.
574
00:29:43,216 --> 00:29:44,347
Sorry, Miss Maxwell.
575
00:29:44,434 --> 00:29:45,653
She would arrive,
576
00:29:45,784 --> 00:29:46,891
and all sorts of tranquility
577
00:29:46,915 --> 00:29:49,657
on the island would erupt.
578
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:51,615
She used to run
around fixing things,
579
00:29:51,746 --> 00:29:54,096
making sure everything was
perfect for Mr. Epstein.
580
00:29:54,227 --> 00:29:56,011
That was the whole point
of her being there,
581
00:29:56,142 --> 00:30:00,276
- is to make sure Epstein had everything he ever wanted.
- [Cathy] Wanted.
582
00:30:00,407 --> 00:30:02,975
[Miles] We knew there
were gonna be girls there,
583
00:30:03,105 --> 00:30:05,281
and then one day I'm
told to go to serve tea,
584
00:30:05,412 --> 00:30:07,675
and I walked out to the pool
with this big tray of tea,
585
00:30:07,806 --> 00:30:10,069
and there's Victoria's
Secret model type people
586
00:30:10,199 --> 00:30:11,897
lying around with no clothes on,
587
00:30:12,027 --> 00:30:14,187
'cause they didn't come down
with their costumes, so...
588
00:30:14,247 --> 00:30:15,770
I went back to Cathy and I said,
589
00:30:15,901 --> 00:30:17,598
"It's your turn next.
I'm not doing this."
590
00:30:17,728 --> 00:30:20,601
They'd all be lying there
with next to nothing.
591
00:30:20,688 --> 00:30:22,995
Yeah, you got quite complacent
about it in the end.
592
00:30:23,125 --> 00:30:24,725
You know, you ask
them, "What do you do?"
593
00:30:24,779 --> 00:30:26,278
"I'm an estate agent."
"What do you do?"
594
00:30:26,302 --> 00:30:28,261
"I'm a model." "I'm a..."
595
00:30:28,391 --> 00:30:30,306
- But they were just there...
- "I'm a student."
596
00:30:30,437 --> 00:30:33,048
- for him, basically.
- I don't know.
597
00:30:33,179 --> 00:30:35,834
If he wanted to go swimming,
he took the girls with him.
598
00:30:35,964 --> 00:30:38,184
- They'd go off to the beach.
- Yeah, off to the beach.
599
00:30:38,314 --> 00:30:40,490
So they were like companions.
600
00:30:50,326 --> 00:30:52,502
My name is Gretchen Rhodes.
601
00:30:52,633 --> 00:30:56,115
I am a professional singer.
602
00:30:56,245 --> 00:30:59,205
And I was doing massage therapy
603
00:30:59,335 --> 00:31:02,861
for twenty something years.
604
00:31:02,991 --> 00:31:05,080
I worked on Little St. James
605
00:31:05,211 --> 00:31:09,215
from 2001 to 2006.
606
00:31:09,345 --> 00:31:11,260
So this is the first
time in twenty years
607
00:31:11,391 --> 00:31:13,828
that I have talked about
this in a public space.
608
00:31:13,959 --> 00:31:17,832
And in my silence,
609
00:31:17,963 --> 00:31:22,532
I was starting to
feel physically sick
610
00:31:22,619 --> 00:31:25,535
by not acknowledging it.
611
00:31:28,930 --> 00:31:31,933
I met Miss Maxwell
when she came into
612
00:31:32,020 --> 00:31:33,979
the Grapevine Salon and Spa,
613
00:31:34,109 --> 00:31:35,894
where I was working as
a massage therapist.
614
00:31:36,024 --> 00:31:39,854
She made a beeline towards
me when she saw me,
615
00:31:39,941 --> 00:31:41,943
and asked me if I would want
616
00:31:42,030 --> 00:31:46,513
to come and do massage for her.
617
00:31:46,643 --> 00:31:49,255
And I said, "We have
a receptionist here."
618
00:31:49,385 --> 00:31:51,997
"You can go ahead and-and
ask the receptionist
619
00:31:52,084 --> 00:31:56,218
to book a... an
appointment for you."
620
00:31:56,305 --> 00:31:58,588
And she said, "No, no, no, I don't
wanna-I don't wanna do that."
621
00:31:58,612 --> 00:32:02,746
"I want you to come and work
for me," and handed me her card.
622
00:32:04,226 --> 00:32:06,402
She never came into the spa
623
00:32:06,489 --> 00:32:08,404
just looking for
an amazing massage.
624
00:32:08,491 --> 00:32:12,800
It was just her looking for
625
00:32:12,931 --> 00:32:17,631
something... else.
626
00:32:19,241 --> 00:32:20,590
Even though I said no,
627
00:32:20,721 --> 00:32:22,375
she came back a
couple more times
628
00:32:22,505 --> 00:32:26,074
throughout the
next couple weeks.
629
00:32:26,205 --> 00:32:28,468
She was firmly persistent,
630
00:32:28,598 --> 00:32:31,558
to put it in a very kind way.
631
00:32:31,688 --> 00:32:33,473
I could say "hound,"
632
00:32:33,603 --> 00:32:35,910
'cause it kind of did
feel like that as well.
633
00:32:36,041 --> 00:32:38,347
My feelings were
saying, you know, like,
634
00:32:38,478 --> 00:32:42,961
stay away, like, just go
about what you're doing.
635
00:32:43,091 --> 00:32:46,051
But my brain was telling
me, but look at this person.
636
00:32:46,181 --> 00:32:48,053
She's, you know,
very well coiffed,
637
00:32:48,183 --> 00:32:50,577
she's, like, put herself
together very well,
638
00:32:50,707 --> 00:32:54,494
she's very well mannered,
she's articulate.
639
00:32:54,581 --> 00:32:56,844
Why would you not
want to go along
640
00:32:56,975 --> 00:32:59,020
with what she's
asking you to do?
641
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:06,288
When I was first picked up
by this boat on St. John
642
00:33:06,419 --> 00:33:08,812
to be taken to Little St.
James, it felt exciting.
643
00:33:08,943 --> 00:33:11,685
It's like, wow, this
is so, you know,
644
00:33:11,772 --> 00:33:14,427
Lifestyles of the
Rich and Famous.
645
00:33:14,557 --> 00:33:18,779
How lucky am I to be able to
do this. How lovely for me.
646
00:33:20,476 --> 00:33:23,218
I was told by Miss
Maxwell that this is
647
00:33:23,349 --> 00:33:26,004
a "speak when spoken
to" situation.
648
00:33:26,091 --> 00:33:28,919
Don't ask questions.
649
00:33:29,050 --> 00:33:31,400
Um, if you see anything, you're
gonna keep it to yourself,
650
00:33:31,531 --> 00:33:34,838
or hear anything, you're
gonna keep it to yourself.
651
00:33:34,969 --> 00:33:38,407
And also, like, in a
very, like... smile,
652
00:33:38,538 --> 00:33:41,323
and this is how
it's going to be.
653
00:33:41,454 --> 00:33:45,588
And so, you know...
654
00:33:45,719 --> 00:33:47,547
[Miles] We had a nucleus
of massage therapists
655
00:33:47,677 --> 00:33:50,115
from St. Thomas and St. John
656
00:33:50,245 --> 00:33:53,379
that used to... we had to
go and fetch and bring back.
657
00:33:53,466 --> 00:33:57,339
Miss Maxwell would be the first
person to test the masseuse,
658
00:33:57,426 --> 00:34:00,516
to make sure that the massage
that he was due to have
659
00:34:00,647 --> 00:34:03,432
would be a good massage, you
know, that type of thing.
660
00:34:03,563 --> 00:34:06,435
[Cathy] Let me try and phrase
it so you'd understand.
661
00:34:06,566 --> 00:34:09,438
I think she got into a situation
662
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:13,225
where she had to find
massage therapists for him,
663
00:34:13,355 --> 00:34:15,662
and the younger the better.
664
00:34:15,749 --> 00:34:17,968
And I got asked to find
massage therapists,
665
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:19,404
and they were always too old.
666
00:34:19,491 --> 00:34:22,538
So she had to go and
find somebody young.
667
00:34:22,625 --> 00:34:27,065
And I think, in a way,
it-it felt uncomfortable
668
00:34:27,194 --> 00:34:30,241
that she was looking for these
young massage therapists.
669
00:34:30,372 --> 00:34:33,897
She just made sure that
he got his massages.
670
00:34:34,028 --> 00:34:37,814
Come hell or high water,
she made sure he was happy.
671
00:34:41,775 --> 00:34:47,781
Miles and Cathy were the ones
that called me up to do massage.
672
00:34:47,911 --> 00:34:50,827
Sitting in the kitchen
with them, waiting,
673
00:34:50,958 --> 00:34:52,457
and then they would get
the call to do massage
674
00:34:52,481 --> 00:34:56,311
with Miss Maxwell
or with Jeffrey.
675
00:34:56,442 --> 00:35:00,750
Initially, when I first
got to Little St. James,
676
00:35:00,837 --> 00:35:04,667
I was massaging Miss
Maxwell herself.
677
00:35:04,798 --> 00:35:09,498
And that lasted for three, four
months, somewhere in there.
678
00:35:11,805 --> 00:35:17,071
Sometimes Miss Maxwell would
have me do a tandem massage,
679
00:35:17,202 --> 00:35:20,596
or teach another
girl that was there
680
00:35:20,727 --> 00:35:23,599
how to do massage.
681
00:35:23,730 --> 00:35:27,777
And finally, when she decided
682
00:35:27,864 --> 00:35:31,346
that I was... ready or fit,
683
00:35:31,477 --> 00:35:33,827
or I feel like now
684
00:35:33,957 --> 00:35:39,267
that I had gotten her trust,
685
00:35:39,398 --> 00:35:44,011
then I was allowed
to... "allowed" to,
686
00:35:44,142 --> 00:35:46,753
uh, massage Jeffrey himself.
687
00:35:49,886 --> 00:35:52,715
Miss Maxwell walked me down
to his room for the first time
688
00:35:52,846 --> 00:35:55,544
and then again explained,
689
00:35:55,675 --> 00:35:59,548
whatever happens
during the massage,
690
00:35:59,679 --> 00:36:01,724
you keep to yourself.
691
00:36:01,855 --> 00:36:05,337
The massage table was
already set up. He came in.
692
00:36:05,467 --> 00:36:07,861
She took off her shirt,
she took off her bra,
693
00:36:07,991 --> 00:36:08,991
she took off her pants.
694
00:36:09,079 --> 00:36:10,646
I was trying not to look,
695
00:36:10,777 --> 00:36:11,971
but it's kind of
like all right here,
696
00:36:11,995 --> 00:36:13,910
you know, in peripheral vision.
697
00:36:13,997 --> 00:36:17,523
And then she got redressed and
just left like it was nothing.
698
00:36:17,653 --> 00:36:20,656
Kind of taken aback
by everything.
699
00:36:20,787 --> 00:36:23,398
He just lay down,
700
00:36:23,529 --> 00:36:26,662
and I did a normal massage,
701
00:36:26,793 --> 00:36:28,621
just a normal massage.
702
00:36:28,751 --> 00:36:32,799
I don't know why I had
that uneasy feeling.
703
00:36:32,929 --> 00:36:35,018
Thinking like, OK,
great, I've, like...
704
00:36:35,149 --> 00:36:38,108
This is really easy
money. Fantastic for me.
705
00:36:39,284 --> 00:36:41,024
He also had this thing about
706
00:36:41,155 --> 00:36:43,549
making people's
dreams come true.
707
00:36:43,679 --> 00:36:45,725
He said that was his thing.
708
00:36:45,855 --> 00:36:49,032
He asked me, "What's your
dream? What is your passion?"
709
00:36:49,163 --> 00:36:53,036
And I said, "Music."
He's like, "OK, great."
710
00:36:53,167 --> 00:36:54,951
He's like, "I'll-I'll
fly you up to New York
711
00:36:55,038 --> 00:36:56,692
and I'll set you up
a couple of meetings
712
00:36:56,823 --> 00:36:59,652
with EMI and Universal."
713
00:36:59,782 --> 00:37:02,045
On the way back down, we
flew in his private jet,
714
00:37:02,132 --> 00:37:04,918
with all of these scientists
715
00:37:05,048 --> 00:37:08,008
that he was hosting
on the island.
716
00:37:08,138 --> 00:37:10,228
Miss Maxwell was on that plane.
717
00:37:10,358 --> 00:37:13,143
And we were taken
back to the Caribbean,
718
00:37:13,231 --> 00:37:18,018
and I was made to
give Jeffrey a massage
719
00:37:18,148 --> 00:37:22,022
where I had to...
720
00:37:22,152 --> 00:37:24,894
massage his nipples
while he masturbated.
721
00:37:26,679 --> 00:37:31,336
It was just, like...
taken aback, you know,
722
00:37:31,466 --> 00:37:34,687
like, what the fuck is
happening right now?
723
00:37:34,817 --> 00:37:38,908
What is happening? Just,
like, just look away, like...
724
00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:40,301
You know, just look away.
725
00:37:40,432 --> 00:37:42,521
I just wasn't
looking at his face.
726
00:37:42,651 --> 00:37:43,931
I was looking, like, beyond him,
727
00:37:43,957 --> 00:37:47,569
just trying to separate myself,
728
00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:51,399
or to... take myself
out of my body.
729
00:37:59,625 --> 00:38:03,324
That was my payment for having
been flown up to New York
730
00:38:03,455 --> 00:38:05,065
and given these opportunities,
731
00:38:05,195 --> 00:38:06,806
like such... on such a high,
732
00:38:06,936 --> 00:38:09,417
and then just such a low.
733
00:38:11,201 --> 00:38:16,381
It was just this constant...
734
00:38:16,511 --> 00:38:20,167
kind of roller coaster,
and I always asked myself,
735
00:38:20,298 --> 00:38:22,691
and have asked myself for
the last twenty years,
736
00:38:22,822 --> 00:38:25,607
why I-why I didn't just jump
off of the roller coaster.
737
00:38:28,958 --> 00:38:31,004
I don't even... I don't
know if I have an answer.
738
00:38:32,832 --> 00:38:34,660
[thunder rumbles]
739
00:38:34,790 --> 00:38:38,011
These people made
the weirdest things
740
00:38:38,098 --> 00:38:40,579
so normal and normalized,
741
00:38:40,709 --> 00:38:43,756
and nothing was normal and...
742
00:38:43,886 --> 00:38:47,499
it was all horrible and weird.
743
00:38:47,629 --> 00:38:50,806
And then it wasn't, and
then he was a-a charming,
744
00:38:50,937 --> 00:38:53,374
kind, nice person,
745
00:38:53,505 --> 00:38:55,507
and so was she.
746
00:38:55,594 --> 00:39:00,207
Maybe not kind. There was never
a kind look behind her eye.
747
00:39:00,338 --> 00:39:04,777
It-just a charming, ever
so slightly calculated one.
748
00:39:06,735 --> 00:39:10,304
She led me into that situation,
749
00:39:10,435 --> 00:39:14,308
knowing full well that
it's not a normal situation
750
00:39:14,395 --> 00:39:18,660
to put somebody else,
but doing it anyway.
751
00:39:18,747 --> 00:39:24,579
To me, she is the reason
that I was abused.
752
00:39:26,494 --> 00:39:28,496
[Miles] These
allegations in the press
753
00:39:28,627 --> 00:39:32,761
of women trying to escape and
swim away from the island,
754
00:39:32,892 --> 00:39:36,635
um, come crying to Cathy and
myself in the kitchen, to say,
755
00:39:36,722 --> 00:39:38,352
"Please help us, we need
to get off the island."
756
00:39:38,376 --> 00:39:40,769
"My passports have been stolen,
757
00:39:40,856 --> 00:39:43,250
um, or taken away from us."
758
00:39:43,337 --> 00:39:44,860
None of that happened.
759
00:39:44,947 --> 00:39:47,602
- None of those girls ever came in crying.
- None.
760
00:39:47,733 --> 00:39:49,778
Um, the only person
who ever cried
761
00:39:49,909 --> 00:39:52,346
was somebody who came
to give him a massage,
762
00:39:52,477 --> 00:39:56,524
and, um... just said,
763
00:39:56,655 --> 00:39:58,396
"Look, I want to go
home," and that was all.
764
00:39:58,526 --> 00:40:00,206
But I don't know what
happened in the room.
765
00:40:02,051 --> 00:40:04,314
People left the island
very suddenly, yes.
766
00:40:04,445 --> 00:40:06,665
There could have been women
767
00:40:06,795 --> 00:40:11,147
that had been
assaulted or hurt or...
768
00:40:11,278 --> 00:40:13,561
We can't... I wouldn't go down
that road, 'cause we weren't...
769
00:40:13,585 --> 00:40:15,195
We've got no
evidence whatsoever.
770
00:40:15,325 --> 00:40:17,197
No, so we... But people
left and came very...
771
00:40:17,327 --> 00:40:20,853
- I wouldn't go into it.
- So... maybe we're saying...
772
00:40:20,983 --> 00:40:22,134
I wouldn't even go
down that route,
773
00:40:22,158 --> 00:40:23,638
'cause we can't say for sure.
774
00:40:23,769 --> 00:40:26,119
I never saw anybody
leave the island...
775
00:40:26,249 --> 00:40:27,249
- In tears.
- In tears.
776
00:40:29,644 --> 00:40:31,472
[Cathy] Where there's
smoke, there's fire,
777
00:40:31,603 --> 00:40:33,909
but we didn't see it,
778
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,259
and we weren't
involved in any of it.
779
00:40:36,390 --> 00:40:39,872
She was trying to please
the man, at her detriment.
780
00:40:40,002 --> 00:40:42,222
That's basically what she did.
781
00:40:42,352 --> 00:40:44,485
She wanted to make
sure he was happy.
782
00:40:44,616 --> 00:40:47,836
Whether she did it
illegally or whatever.
783
00:40:50,230 --> 00:40:53,146
[Rhodes] It's very easy to
bury one's head in the sand.
784
00:40:53,276 --> 00:40:57,890
I've done it for the last twenty
years of not acknowledging.
785
00:40:58,020 --> 00:40:59,587
I didn't feel like
I could tell anybody
786
00:40:59,718 --> 00:41:03,852
because I wasn't worthy
enough to tell anybody.
787
00:41:03,983 --> 00:41:08,204
But I honestly think that it-
it was totally conceivable
788
00:41:08,335 --> 00:41:10,468
that Miles and Cathy didn't
know what was happening,
789
00:41:10,555 --> 00:41:12,165
because I didn't know anything
790
00:41:12,295 --> 00:41:14,254
that was happening
with anybody else.
791
00:41:14,384 --> 00:41:16,604
Everything was kept
behind closed doors.
792
00:41:23,959 --> 00:41:28,050
I think that I was very
lost for a long time,
793
00:41:28,181 --> 00:41:32,098
and I've only just really
started to deal with it all.
794
00:41:32,228 --> 00:41:35,014
I've kept it all secret
for twenty years.
795
00:41:36,668 --> 00:41:38,583
Twenty years.
796
00:41:46,242 --> 00:41:48,506
[Boies] Epstein
bought this island
797
00:41:48,636 --> 00:41:51,509
in the US Virgin Islands,
798
00:41:51,639 --> 00:41:54,424
and he built on that island
799
00:41:54,555 --> 00:41:58,994
a camp for sex trafficking.
800
00:41:59,125 --> 00:42:03,608
A sex trafficking
palace, if you will.
801
00:42:03,695 --> 00:42:05,435
With a gold dome,
802
00:42:05,566 --> 00:42:09,962
with uh, places scattered
along the beach.
803
00:42:10,092 --> 00:42:14,532
And there were always a
lot of young girls there.
804
00:42:16,098 --> 00:42:18,361
Of the slightly more
805
00:42:18,492 --> 00:42:21,800
than dozen women
that we represent,
806
00:42:21,887 --> 00:42:25,064
about half of them probably
were on the island.
807
00:42:27,632 --> 00:42:31,331
It was a place
where he would go,
808
00:42:31,461 --> 00:42:34,377
um, to abuse young girls.
809
00:42:36,815 --> 00:42:39,165
But it was also a
place where he would,
810
00:42:39,295 --> 00:42:42,342
um, entertain
811
00:42:42,472 --> 00:42:45,563
and cultivate
812
00:42:45,693 --> 00:42:51,046
rich and powerful and
politically connected figures.
813
00:42:51,133 --> 00:42:52,807
[Miles] We had a lot of
guests that came to the island
814
00:42:52,831 --> 00:42:55,007
at the invitation
of Mr. Epstein,
815
00:42:55,137 --> 00:42:56,922
um, whether they
were industrialists,
816
00:42:57,052 --> 00:43:00,403
business people,
celebrity-type people,
817
00:43:00,534 --> 00:43:03,102
um, royalty.
818
00:43:03,232 --> 00:43:04,712
Prince Andrew was there.
819
00:43:04,843 --> 00:43:06,845
He came to the
island a few times.
820
00:43:06,975 --> 00:43:08,890
Um, the first time
was by himself,
821
00:43:09,021 --> 00:43:12,024
and then twice
with Miss Maxwell.
822
00:43:12,154 --> 00:43:13,915
- They're all very good friends.
- They were very good friends.
823
00:43:13,939 --> 00:43:15,481
- You could-you could see it.
- They had an absolute ball.
824
00:43:15,505 --> 00:43:16,585
-They used to laugh- -Laugh.
825
00:43:16,637 --> 00:43:18,334
And enjoy themselves.
826
00:43:18,465 --> 00:43:20,598
[Cathy] Go swimming, go
playing on the Jet Skis,
827
00:43:20,728 --> 00:43:22,077
do all sorts of things.
828
00:43:22,164 --> 00:43:23,818
- [Miles] Tease each other.
- Yeah.
829
00:43:23,949 --> 00:43:26,429
Have fun. Um...
830
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,388
And y'know it was
loud. We could hear it.
831
00:43:28,518 --> 00:43:30,608
[chuckles] Having fun.
832
00:43:30,695 --> 00:43:32,827
I mean, they just
enjoyed themselves.
833
00:43:32,958 --> 00:43:35,656
And he was so relaxed, he'd just
open the door to the kitchen,
834
00:43:35,787 --> 00:43:38,006
and come in and say,
"Right, what can we eat?"
835
00:43:38,137 --> 00:43:41,880
It was like a home in many ways.
Yeah. No, it was... He was...
836
00:43:42,010 --> 00:43:43,925
I'd say their relationship
was very close.
837
00:43:44,056 --> 00:43:47,059
Yeah, they were
really close, yeah.
838
00:43:47,189 --> 00:43:50,279
[interviewer] And would-would
Prince Andrew get massages as well?
839
00:43:51,454 --> 00:43:53,065
I don't think so, did he?
840
00:43:53,195 --> 00:43:54,762
- I can't remember.
- I can't remember.
841
00:43:54,893 --> 00:43:57,243
No. Honestly, I can't.
842
00:43:57,373 --> 00:44:00,072
- When he was on his own, no.
- No, when he was on his own, no.
843
00:44:01,595 --> 00:44:03,641
I don't think he did.
844
00:44:03,771 --> 00:44:06,295
- But you never know because...
- We don't know what...
845
00:44:06,426 --> 00:44:08,950
We weren't privy to
see... to see any of...
846
00:44:09,037 --> 00:44:13,912
any of the... the other
side of Mr. Epstein, so...
847
00:44:14,042 --> 00:44:15,827
If you wanna say it like that.
848
00:44:15,914 --> 00:44:17,916
- Yeah.
- I don't know how to say it.
849
00:44:18,003 --> 00:44:19,482
What stays inside stays inside.
850
00:44:19,613 --> 00:44:20,701
[Cathy] Yeah.
851
00:44:30,015 --> 00:44:32,887
[Maloney] I saw Ghislaine
with Prince Andrew
852
00:44:33,018 --> 00:44:36,195
at Ascot in the royal enclosure.
853
00:44:36,325 --> 00:44:38,153
I used to go to
Ascot every year.
854
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:41,243
She was almost deferring
to him and looking at him
855
00:44:41,374 --> 00:44:45,639
as though he was the most
important person there.
856
00:44:45,726 --> 00:44:47,467
I called over to Ghislaine.
857
00:44:47,554 --> 00:44:49,730
"Hi, Ghislaine. It's me."
858
00:44:49,861 --> 00:44:52,080
Nothing. Complete blank.
859
00:44:52,167 --> 00:44:55,431
She was just so focused
on Prince Andrew
860
00:44:55,562 --> 00:44:57,869
that nobody else mattered.
861
00:44:57,999 --> 00:45:01,655
She decided that there were
bigger fish in her pond
862
00:45:01,742 --> 00:45:03,309
than in my little pond.
863
00:45:03,439 --> 00:45:07,095
So she decided,
probably, to ignore me.
864
00:45:07,226 --> 00:45:11,578
I thought, mmm, that's not very
nice, to be treated that way,
865
00:45:11,709 --> 00:45:16,409
especially after the way that
I used to look after her.
866
00:45:16,539 --> 00:45:19,281
I was uh, disappointed.
867
00:45:25,592 --> 00:45:28,353
[Lisa Phillips] I definitely saw that
she was a powerful woman in society.
868
00:45:28,377 --> 00:45:31,554
She was amongst
all the celebrities
869
00:45:31,685 --> 00:45:34,906
and very important people on
the social scene in New York.
870
00:45:34,993 --> 00:45:38,736
The first time I met Ghislaine
was at a dinner party
871
00:45:38,866 --> 00:45:42,696
at Jeffrey Epstein's home
on the Upper East Side.
872
00:45:42,827 --> 00:45:45,917
She had that little
sparkle in her eye,
873
00:45:46,047 --> 00:45:49,572
so your-your kind of like
lesbian thing goes up,
874
00:45:49,703 --> 00:45:52,750
where you're like,
"Hmm..." about her.
875
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,709
There were tons of older
men there that night,
876
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,713
and she was the only,
like, lady among them.
877
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,803
I saw a lot of younger women
coming and going that night,
878
00:46:02,890 --> 00:46:05,023
I believe all over 18.
879
00:46:05,153 --> 00:46:07,242
They were all
introduced to Ghislaine
880
00:46:07,373 --> 00:46:08,722
if they didn't know her,
881
00:46:08,853 --> 00:46:10,898
and introduced to
the other men there.
882
00:46:11,029 --> 00:46:13,509
A few weeks or months later,
883
00:46:13,596 --> 00:46:16,034
I was hanging out with
another group of girlfriends.
884
00:46:16,164 --> 00:46:17,949
We went to a party in SoHo.
885
00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:20,125
Naomi Campbell was
there, Woody Harrelson,
886
00:46:20,255 --> 00:46:22,127
and some other celebrities.
887
00:46:22,257 --> 00:46:25,783
And Ghislaine was there
that night with Mick Jagger.
888
00:46:25,870 --> 00:46:27,959
I said hello to Ghislaine,
and she introduced me
889
00:46:28,089 --> 00:46:30,744
and my girlfriends to
Mick Jagger that night.
890
00:46:30,875 --> 00:46:34,966
So Jeffrey is the
one, a few days after,
891
00:46:35,053 --> 00:46:39,231
who had called me to
meet with Mick Jagger,
892
00:46:39,361 --> 00:46:42,190
like he was having a dinner
and that Mick had requested
893
00:46:42,321 --> 00:46:44,453
that myself and
some girlfriends,
894
00:46:44,584 --> 00:46:47,413
the same girlfriends, would
go meet him for dinner.
895
00:46:47,543 --> 00:46:49,632
And I had said, "Well,
what does he want?"
896
00:46:49,763 --> 00:46:51,678
He was, "Well, you know..."
897
00:46:51,809 --> 00:46:53,569
He said, "Oh, well,
Ghislaine is gonna be there."
898
00:46:53,593 --> 00:46:55,334
And he said that she
was his best friend
899
00:46:55,464 --> 00:46:57,249
and that he trusted her.
900
00:46:57,336 --> 00:47:00,600
And I said, "Well, I
don't really trust her."
901
00:47:00,730 --> 00:47:02,384
"She's a little creepy."
902
00:47:02,515 --> 00:47:05,997
I didn't think anything
of their odd relationship,
903
00:47:06,127 --> 00:47:10,349
because the modeling
and acting world
904
00:47:10,479 --> 00:47:15,180
has a... a... a mist of
sexuality all throughout it.
905
00:47:15,310 --> 00:47:17,269
When you are in that business,
906
00:47:17,356 --> 00:47:19,140
you deal with those
kinds of things.
907
00:47:19,227 --> 00:47:21,490
After that, I started feeling,
908
00:47:21,621 --> 00:47:23,536
well, I'm not really
your friend, you know,
909
00:47:23,623 --> 00:47:28,149
if you're pushing me to go
meet with these older men.
910
00:47:28,236 --> 00:47:32,110
And as you, like, witness
their relationship,
911
00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:34,155
and as your friends
get to know them,
912
00:47:34,286 --> 00:47:35,417
then you start to realize
913
00:47:35,504 --> 00:47:37,637
she's a hundred percent in it
914
00:47:37,767 --> 00:47:39,987
as much as he is.
915
00:47:40,118 --> 00:47:41,815
So I started to
think about Jeffrey
916
00:47:41,946 --> 00:47:44,035
in a different way
during that time,
917
00:47:44,122 --> 00:47:46,211
and she was around
with him a lot.
918
00:47:47,516 --> 00:47:50,432
You cut off all ties.
919
00:47:50,519 --> 00:47:52,565
And it was, you know,
a good time to do so,
920
00:47:52,695 --> 00:47:55,176
because that's when
everything was unraveling
921
00:47:55,307 --> 00:47:58,571
for Ghislaine and Jeffrey.
922
00:47:58,701 --> 00:48:00,747
Having the woman present
makes it seem like,
923
00:48:00,878 --> 00:48:03,750
OK, well, nothing super
bad is gonna happen to me
924
00:48:03,881 --> 00:48:08,189
because she's here, you know.
925
00:48:08,276 --> 00:48:10,104
I think that was a
very confusing thing,
926
00:48:10,235 --> 00:48:13,891
always having her there.
927
00:48:14,021 --> 00:48:17,155
I don't think he could have
had the same web of operation
928
00:48:17,285 --> 00:48:20,071
that was going on
without this, you know,
929
00:48:20,201 --> 00:48:23,291
beautiful woman helping him.
930
00:48:23,422 --> 00:48:25,424
[McElvoy] Looking back,
and over the years,
931
00:48:25,554 --> 00:48:27,992
I think there were signs
that things were happening,
932
00:48:28,122 --> 00:48:32,866
and it reminds me, there's a
great line in uh, Edith Wharton,
933
00:48:32,997 --> 00:48:34,912
in her novel, The
Age of Innocence.
934
00:48:35,042 --> 00:48:37,001
The main character says,
935
00:48:37,131 --> 00:48:40,874
"Does nobody want to
know the truth here?"
936
00:48:40,961 --> 00:48:45,966
What she's shocked by is how
much people will continue
937
00:48:46,053 --> 00:48:48,621
and not notice things
they don't want to see.
938
00:48:48,751 --> 00:48:52,755
This, to me, was an equivalent.
939
00:48:52,886 --> 00:48:55,715
Does nobody round here
want to know the truth?
940
00:48:55,845 --> 00:49:00,241
And the fact is, probably
not. Not if the party is good.
