My name's Mackenzie, and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis. And we raised about 10, $10,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like, really being very clear about what we needed, we had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

In this episode, we're going to begin taking a look at a deposition given by Virginia Roberts in January of 2016. And this deposition has to do with a lawsuit filed by Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell against Alan Dershowitz. And in this deposition, we have Ms. Borja, who is a lawyer for Alan Dershowitz, asking the questions, and then Virginia is going to do the answering. And like usual, when I say question, that means Ms. Borgia has asked the question, and then obviously the answer is from Virginia, so let us dive in. So they swear in. And Ms. Borgia asks, we have noticed this examination for you as Virginia Roberts. I understand that you have a different married last name. Yeah. Could you pronounce that for me? Joffrey. If from time to time I call you Ms. Roberts, would that be okay with you today? Absolutely. I'm going to hand you a document that's been marked as VR Exhibit 1, which is a notice of taking video. Deuces teacum. Ms. Roberts, are you appearing here today pursuant to this notice of video deposition Duces Teekum? Answer yes. Question. Did you bring any documents with you today pursuant to the deuces? Teach them. Answer no. Question. Were you asked to bring any documents with you today? Answer no. Question. You understand that you're under oath today and. And that your testimony is being taken down by the court reporter? Correct. Answer. Yeah. Question. And today's testimony is the same as if you were testifying before a judge and a jury. Do you understand that? Answer yes. Question. It's important that you allow me to finish my question and allow you to finish your answer because the court reporter is very good, but she can only type one of us talking at a time. Is that okay? And answer yeah. Question it's also important that all of your answers are verbal. Since nodding your head or shaking your head, if you mean yes or no, you should give it a verbal response. Is that agreeable? Answer yes. Question what's your Current home address? Ms. McCauley, who is Sigrid McCauley and one of Virginia's lawyers. We're going to object on the record. You're welcome to notice anything to my law office for Virginia. She had some safety issues with respect to her location, so we're not going to be putting that out on the record. Ms. Bora, that's fine. You're going to accept service for all purposes in this action? McCauley yes. Borja, that's fine. Thank you. McCauley yes. If you need to serve her with Anything, Borgia QUESTION Ms. Roberts, are you taking medication that would affect in any way your ability to testify? No. Were you involved in collecting documents for production in this case? I don't understand. I'll get back to that in a little bit. Are you aware of the action that your attorneys, Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell filed against the government? Yes. If I call that the federal action or the CVRA action, will you understand the action that I'm referring to? Yes. Question and you sought to join that action, Correct? Answer Yes. Question and you understand that you were Jane Doe 3 in the motion for joinder, right? Answer yes. Question I'm going to show you. I'm not going to mark it as Exhibit A copy of Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4 corrected motion pursuant to Rule 21 for Joinder and action. Do you have that in front of you right now? Answer yes. Question and this was entered as document 280 in the docket for purposes of identification in our record here today. Did you review this document before it was filed? Answer not this specific document, no. Question Were you aware that this joinder motion was being filed in the CVRA action? Answer I knew there was an action for the CVRA for me to be joined. Yes. And. And you're aware, are you not, that there are allegations that you were sexually trafficked being made in that action? Correct Answer I'm aware that there are allegations that I was trafficked. Question if you turn to page four of this document, the numbers are on the bottom of the page in that first full paragraph. In the third line down it says Epstein required Jane Doe 3 to have sexual relations with Dershowitz on numerous occasions when she was a minor. McAuley. Feel free to look at the entire page. Mr. Scarola. It is a minor discrepancy, but I think you read it as when she was a minor and it's while she was a minor. Borgia Question. While she was a minor. Do you see where I'm reading starting in the third line? Answer. Yes. Question. Is that allegation true? Answer yes. Question. If you go to page six of the document, do you see paragraph that starts epstein also trafficked. Yes. Question. It says epstein also trafficked Jane Doe 3 for sexual purposes to many other powerful men, including numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well known prime minister and other world leaders. Do you see that? Yes. Is that allegation true? Yes. The reference there to foreign presidents, do you see that? Yes. You were sexually trafficked to foreign presidents? No. Question. So that's not true. You are not sexually trafficked to foreign presidents. I don't know what foreign president you're talking about. Have you ever been sexually trafficked to any foreign president? Ms. McCauley, I'm going to allow you to ask that question, but with respect to specific identification of an individual, we're not going to do that at this point. She has. Borgia Council, your objection has been made. No speaking. Objections, please. Let's move on. McAuley. I can make a record and my record is she's not going to be speaking with respect to individuals. Names that are named in generalities in the document. Special master. Objection. Overruled. You can answer. Virginia. I understand well known prime ministers and other world leaders. As far as far as foreign presidents, I'm not too sure. I don't know. Question. Have you ever met any foreign presidents? Answer. Foreign presidents, as in overseas question. Sure. Okay. Overseas answer. No. Question. Have you ever met any foreign presidents from countries not overseas such as Canada or Mexico? No. So you are not sexually trafficked any foreign presidents, is that correct? As far as I know right now, yes. It's correct that you are not sexually trafficked to them? Right. You've asked me this three times and I'm telling you. Okay. A well known prime minister. Were you sexually trafficked to a well known prime minister? Yes. Question who is that? Ms. McCauley, I'm going to object to this line of questioning. This has to do with her safety concerns for her. Ms. Borgia Council, this is under seal. You can answer. No, she's not going to answer the Special Master pipes on. Hang on one second. McCawley. Let me make my objection. Special Master make your objection. McCauley Regardless of it being under seal, we've seen that in this case the client that you represent has violated confidentiality orders regularly. So we have no sense of security with a sense that this is confidential record at this point. We are doing that under the court's order with respect to naming individuals who can harm a victim of sexual trafficking. She's a non party in this action, not a plaintiff. She is not going to be revealing any names today of an individual who is going to harm her physically, period. If we have to go to Judge lynch on that, we will. I'm happy to do that. But she's not going to be naming individuals where there's a threat to her safety. Special Master response Borgia it's under seal. I'm shocked that council would suggest that a prime minister is threatening the physical safety of this witness. There's no foundation for that. The suggestion that a foreign minister is going to physically harm has no evidence in this case and it's being under seal. Let's get the evidence out while the witness is here. As you pointed out, she's a non party. Let's make a record and move on. Ms. McCauley, you may be shocked by that, but Special Master interrupts Hang on a second. The reason why I'm here is. So we don't have the back and forth. McCauley sure. Special master. I'm going to rule on the objection. Your objection at this point is overruled. You can answer. And I want to admonish everybody here that this is a confidential and protection of this witness is a paramount importance under the confidentiality order. So Ms. Roberts, you can answer that question that's been asked. McAULEY at this point, we're going to need to take a break because I'm not going to allow her to answer the question that's going to threaten her physical safety. So we can take a break on that. Virginia if I can just say I personally know that, that this is not a good person to talk about and I'm not going to point blank, I'm not going to say his name. Special Master Okay, I can't twist her arm and force her. So we'll deal with it. Ms. Borgia, question. Okay. Any other world leaders that you were trafficked to? McCauley we have the same objection. Special Master and I would have the same ruling based upon the arguments. McAULEY Let me just make my record to the extent that there's the name of an individual that, that you can reveal that you do not feel would harm your physical safety, you're welcome to reveal them. Anybody else you don't have to reveal at this time. And we'll take that to Judge Lynch. Answer. Okay, Prince Andrew for one. Question. Other than Prince Andrew. Answer. There's another individual that I honestly do not know his name. Question. What country is he from? Answer. I'm not too sure. He spoken a foreign. He didn't. He did speak foreign tongue. He spoke English as well, but I'm not too sure where he was from. Question. How do you know he was a world leader? I was introduced to him as a prince. Okay. Did he have security with him? I'm sure he did somewhere around, but not when I was with him. Did you see security? No. Question. Where were you when you met him on this occasion? The south of France. Are there witnesses to you being sexually trafficked to this prince? Answer. Yes. Question. Name them. Answer. Jeffrey Epstein. Glenn Maxwell. Question. Anyone else? Answer. There was a whole bunch of people in the room, so of course. Question. Was this an orgy? Answer. No. Question. Who else was in the room? Answer. I can't name all of them. There was a lot. Question. Name as many as you can. Answer. I don't know their names. I can't name their names. Question. They were present during sexual activity. Answer. They were present before the sexual activity and then I went to have sexual activity with them alone. Question. So he's the only witness to your sexual activity, the prince? Answer. On the instructions of Epstein and Glenn. Yes. Question. Where in the south of France were you? Answer. I don't know. Question. Were you on a boat? Were you in a house? Answer. We were at like a cabana. Not cabana, like a resort. But it was a big party. Question. Who was throwing the party? Answer. I don't know. I was just brought there. Question. You also refer to powerful business executives. Which powerful business executives were you sexually trafficked to, Ms. McAuley? Again, to the extent you can reveal somebody without safety concern, you're welcome to do that. Special Master. Well again, Macaulay. Right, I understand. Special Master. Same objection, same ruling. Answer. And listen up out there, everybody who thinks this is a one way street. George Mitchell. Question. When were you sexually trafficked to George Mitchell? Answer. I'm unable to give you a time since we are going back a very long time. Question. Tell me the best that you can remember. Answer. Roughly. When I was 17. Question. Where were you? Answer. New Mexico. And? And New York. Question. Are there witnesses to this? Answer. Not the actual event itself. Question. What other powerful business executives were you sexually trafficked to? Answer. This dam is redacted. Question. Are there witnesses? Answer. Besides Epstein instructing me to do so, no. Question. What other powerful business executives that you are sexually trafficked to? Answer. Yes, I know what you're saying, but. Macaulay, take your time. Take a deep breath. Answer. Redacted. Question. Who else? Macaulay, to the extent you recall. Answer. I'm just trying to think. This is all very confronting for me, so at the same token, I'm just trying to recollect everybody. The Dubins, Glenn Dubin. Question. You said the Dubins. Were you sexually trafficked to more than one Dubin? Answer. No. Question. Just to Glenn. Answer just to Glenn. Question. Is he the powerful business executive whose pregnant wife was asleep in the next room? Yes. Question. What other powerful business executives were you sexually trafficked to? Answer. None that I can remember off the top of my head. Question. Was redacted. One of the powerful business executives that you were trafficked to? Answer. Yes. Question. So you can remember others. Who else is there? Macaulay. I'm going to object to that. That's inappropriate. She gave you everyone she could remember at the time when you mentioned the name Special Master. OK, OK. Please move on, Ms. Borgia. There is a question pending. I said yes. What other powerful business executives wasn't that just objected? You can answer. I can't remember off the top of my head. I'm sorry. All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up right there. And in the next episode, we're gonna pick up where we left off. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to pick up where we left off with the Virginia Roberts deposition. In regards to Alan Dershowitz, you also referred to prominent American politicians. What prominent American politician, other than the ones we've already named, Were you sexually trafficked to answer. The ones I just told you about? Redacted and redacted. How many times were you trafficked or redacted? I don't know. Over two times. How old were you? Approximately 17 to 18. Question are you sure you were underage during one of those incidents? Answer. I can't be 100% sure of anything. It's not like I recorded the dates. I'm just giving you an approximation. Question. How many times were you sexually trafficked or adapted? Twice. That I can recall. Question. Were you underage during either of those? Answer. I believe so. Question. Both times. Answer. I can't be 100% sure. Question. Were you sexually trafficked to the redacted. Were you underage? Not by redacted standards. Question. You weren't in redacted, were you? You were in the south of France. McCauley. Which redacted. You need to clarify Answer. Redacted. Sorry. I believe I would have been 17. I don't know what their age. Macaulay. You don't have to know. You don't have to know anything legal. Just answer the questions the best you can. Ms. Borgia. Question. So how old were you when you were sexually trafficked to Mr. Dubin? I don't know. What is your best guess? I'm not going to speculate. How many times did you have sex with Mr. Dubin? Once. How many times did you have sex with multiple. What's the approximate range of number? More than three. More than three? Question. More than five? Possibly. Question. More than ten. No. Question. Did redacted ask you to wear any particular clothing during your sexual trafficking? McAuley. Again, I'm going to object to this line of questioning. To the extent that you revealed something to me in work product circumstance or attorney client privilege, I don't want you revealing that. This case is about the defamation between Paul Cassell and Brad Edwards and. And Mr. Dershowitz. It's not about the individuals other than Mr. Dershowitz. Who's the individual here? Who? The judge said. We're here to talk about the issues in this case, not the litany of other individuals. Ms. Borgia. Council, we have limited time. Special master. Hang on one second. I'm going to deny the objection. You can answer the question. I'm going to give you some latitude on this, but. Council, please understand. It's some latitude so you can answer the question. Ms. Borgia. And special Magistrate, I would also ask for an instruction. We have limited time here and speaking objections are inappropriate and unnecessary for your ruling. McCauley. I'm allowed to make a record. Special master. Council. She needs to make a record. However, the four hours in my mind is not a hard and fast four hours based upon how we proceed in the deposition. So I'll take that into consideration as we approach the four hours. Answer. Yes, I wore lingerie for him. Question. At his request. Answer. It wasn't his request. It was Ghis who set it up for me. Question. And did she specify baby doll lingerie to be worn? Answer. All different types of lingerie. Question. Was it specifically Victoria's Secret lingerie. Answer I didn't write the brand. Question have you alleged that you were required to wear Victoria's Secret lingerie for redacted. No. McCauley alleged in what context? Borgia. Question. She's already answered. Now, other than the people you've already named for me today, were you sexually trafficked to anyone else during your period between 99 and 2002? Yes. Who else? McCauley, to the extent you can recall. Special Master Council. Let her think it through. Answer Alan Dershowitz redacted. The obvious people that I've already stated. Jeffrey Epstein, obviously. Glain. You know, there's people that I just honestly can't think of everybody right now. I do feel like I'm under a lot of pressure to answer the questions and I'm doing the best that I can, honestly. Question Were you sexually trafficked to. Redacted. Yes. Were you sexually trafficked to a man, last name Redacted. Who? Question Redacted. If the name doesn't ring a bell, just tell me. No. How many times were you sexually trafficked or adopted? Once. How old were you? I don't know. You're sure it was one time correct? I'm not sure of anything. There was a lot of people that Jeffrey sent me to, and it was a long time ago. I can't be 1000% correct on that. Who is redacted? He's an older gentleman. Do you know what he does for a living? I think he's a redacted, but I don't want to 100% say who is redacted. I think he's a redacted. Question do you know where. Answer Possibly Redacted. I think. Or maybe, you know, I'm not too sure. I'm just speculating. Question where did you meet? Redacted. Answer Redacted. At the islands. Question and when you say the island, what do you mean? Jeffrey Epstein's estate? Answer yeah. Question and where did you meet? Redacted. Answer Was at the island as well. Question did you ever meet him anywhere else? Answer yes. Question did you have sex with them in other locations? Answer no. Question did you ever fly on a plane with them? Answer no. Question did you ever have sex? Is redacted. Answer no, not that I know of. The name does not ring a bell. You have to understand that. That there were a lot of gentlemen that I was lent out to by Jeffrey Epstein. So it's very hard for me to remember all their names and who they were and what they did. Ms. Roberts, when you refer to. Did you mean redacted? No. Have you ever met a Redacted. Possibly. Do you know one way or the other? Do I know? You said possibly. I was introduced to lots of political, scientific, academic. So there's a possibility I could have met him. Did you ever have sex with. No. Were you sexually trafficked to Redacted. Not that I know of. I'm handing you a document that's been marked as VR Exhibit 2, which is plaintiff Virginia. I apologize. Disclosure pursuant to Federal rule of of civil procedure number 26. This is a document that was entered in your lawsuit against Glenn Maxwell in the Southern District of New York. Have you ever seen this document before? No. If you look. Take a look. There's a list of witnesses starting at page one and continues on. Yes. I'm wondering whether this list might help you. Can you look at the names on this list and tell me who from these names you were sexually trafficked to? Answer Redacted. I wasn't trafficked to her. She was just part of some of the trafficking. Hold on. What part did she have in the trafficking? She was involved in some of the orgies. So she was a sexual participant in the orgies? Answer yeah. Question that you were a participant in as well? Answer yes. Were these the orgies that Redacted was involved in were with any of the individuals that you have named so far today? Answer not that I can remember right now. Question do you remember what gentleman you were involved in the orgies with? Answer as far as I can recall, Jeffrey Epstein. Question okay. Answer Redacted. Redacted does ring a bell, but I don't want to 100% say that. Question Ring a bell in what terms? Answer the name rings a bell. I mean, you have to understand there was a lot, a lot, a lot of girls around to remember all of their names. Question My question is was redacted a participant in sexual activity with you? I don't know and I'm not going to speculate. Question I'm not asking you to speculate. I'm asking you under oath today, was she a participant, as far as you can recall, today, in sexual activity? McCauley Objection. Asked and answered. Borgia. Question with you. Answer I'm telling you under oath that I'm not sure about redacted being in sexual orgies with me, but the name does ring a bell. Question and redacted. Answer yeah, she was involved but not going to speak about her. She has the right to her own privacy. She's been hurt. She's a victim. So I'm not going there. Question did she participate in any of the sexual activity with others that you've named today? Answer yes. Question. With whom? Answer. I'm not answering that. Macaulay. We're going to object to the extent that you're concerned about the safety of one of these individuals. We're not going to testify. We can go to the judge and we can come back if he says you have to testimony regarding that. But she gets cut off by Borgia. We already have the names of the gentlemen. Special Master. Hang on one second. For purposes of the record, have you made your record? Macaulay? Well, let's make a record. So redacted. Was underage at the time this occurred. So she herself is a victim. So to the extent that, you know, if you want to bring her counsel in and have them present during something like this, that's fine. But this witness, who is a non party to this litigation, who's a victim herself, doesn't have to speak about other underage victims. Special Master Council. Borgia. Well, I'm entitled to know the names of witnesses who can either verify or discredit the allegations. McAuley, she's given you the name. Special Master Council. Let her make her record. Borgia. As to specific individuals. I do not want to bring up her name with individuals with whom she's not alleged to have sexual activity. That would be unfair to this witness. But what would be fair to my client, who is being sued in the case, is to be able to check the allegations with a neutral third party. And if this is a witness, McCauley cuts her off. Why don't you ask her if that's somebody who's involved with your client, which is what we're here on today. Alan Dershowitz. Not all these other individuals. Special Master. Okay. All right. Have you made the record, Borgia? Yes, Master. I'm going to overrule the objection. I understand that you're going to instruct the witness not to answer. Right, Master. So that will have to be dealt with in front of Judge lynch the for a subsequent time. Because I do not think it's incumbent upon, especially on this question, it's incumbent upon you to lay the predicate as to why you're instructing the witness to answer. Macaulay. And I believe I have. Special Master. I understand we're not here to do that. So I'm going to, for purposes of the record, I'm going to overrule your objection and now make your instruction so we have a clean record to deal with. McCauley. Sure. With respect to. Redacted. Because she was an underage victim at the time, I'm instructing you not to answer questions with respect to her other than identifying her as being one of the victims involved. Borgia. Question. Are you going to follow your counsel's instruction? Absolutely. And you understand that we're going to reserve the right to bring you back for another deposition in the event that the judge or overrules your council's objections. Do you still want to keep abiding by those? Answer. Go for it. Question. I'm sorry, Special Master. Yes. Yes. Answer. No problem. All right, we're going to wrap up right here. And in the next episode, dealing with the topic, we're going to pick up where we left off. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to pick up where we left off with the Virginia Roberts deposition against Alan Dershowitz. Question. We were looking at the list of names and you were going through to see if they refresh your recollection as to the names of individuals to whom you were sexually trafficked. Answer on page three. Redacted. Question. Who is redacted? I think she also goes underneath the name. Red. Redacted. If it's the same woman that I'm thinking of and she was one of Jeffries, I would like to say co conspirators. She had sex with underage girls and myself. Redacted. He was not only a witness, but he was also a co conspirator. Again, redacted. Sounds familiar, but I'm not going to attempt to put her out of place, and I'm not too sure. Question. Do you know who the names of the others are? Redacted or adapted? Do you know who they are? Answer. Redacted. I think I have heard of another victim, but I don't recall meeting her. Question. Do you know who redacted is? Answer. No. Question. Okay. Answer number 19, Alan Dershowitz. Number 22, Eva Anderson Dubin. Number 23, Glenn Dubin. Question. Before you move on, were you sexually trafficked to eva Anderson Dubin McCauley? This has been asked and answered, Special Master. No, it has not. Overruled. No, I was not trafficked to Eva. Redacted. Question. Let me ask you this. Were you sexually trafficked or redacted? No. Question. Ms. McCauley with a question pending. I think she's lost the question, Counsel. Ask the question, Borgia. Okay, Council, I'll Ask the question. Macaulay. Thank you, Borgia. The question is, when you look at this list of names, does it refresh your recollection as to who you were sexually trafficked to answer some of the people that I mentioned? Yes. Okay, so let's continue reviewing the list. I'm looking for names of the people that you allege you were sexually trafficked to. Okay. Redacted. 27. Jeffrey Epstein.

Question, where were you going on this plane? Answer, you know, it's hard for me to remember the exact destination. I was flying around a lot from the times I was with Jeffrey, but I believe I was. It was to Massachusetts, if my memory is correct. Question, why are you flying to Massachusetts? Answer again, I don't want to. I don't know. I just flew wherever Jeffrey wanted to fly to. Question. Did you stay in a hotel in Massachusetts? Answer no, we flew out and flew in the same day. Question who else was on the plane? Answer, Epstein. Question. Were you coming? Where were you coming from? Answer, I believe it was New York, but again, I don't want to. 100. Say, like I said, we were constantly flying. Question, Was it winter time? Was it summertime? What do you recall about when it was? Answer, it wasn't snowing, so I'm not too sure. This is going back a long time. I don't know the date. Question what's your best recollection of how you were dressed? Answer, I don't know what I was wearing. Question, did you have a sweater? I don't know what I was wearing. Question were you over 18? I don't know. I'm sorry. Question. You might have been. I could have been. I could have been under 18 or over 18. Question the other girl, she could have been over 18. Answer, she could have been. She could not have been. Jeffrey liked having a lot of young girls around him, so I'm not sure. Question. You don't know one way or the other whether the girl is a minor? Answer, I didn't ask her age. Question. Other than the girl you're not sure whether she was a minor, are there any other girls you are sure were a minor who were who you think had sex with Professor Dershowitz? Answer, not that I know of. Question. So would it be correct that you actually don't know one way or the other whether Professor Dershowitz had sex with any minors other than you claim yourself? Macaulay? Objection. You can answer. Answer. Yeah, I don't know. It would be hard to say. Jeffrey, like I said, had lots of young girls around all the time, and some of them were very young and some of them on the cusp of 18, 19, so it's very hard to speculate how old she was. Question so you don't know? Answer I don't know. Question Other than yourself, Jeffrey, Professor Dershowitz and this other woman of unknown age, was anybody else on the plane besides the pilot? Answer pilot. Question that's it? Answer yes. Question Putting aside ages, whether there were minors or not, other than this girl that you say had sex with Professor Dershowitz on a plane, are you aware of any other girls with whom you believe Professor Dershowitz had sex? Answer, Professor Dershowitz was around a lot, and there was always young girls around a lot. And I physically did not see him with any other young girl besides the ones that we're talking about right now and myself. But no, I'm not too sure. Question, you don't know of any correct. Answer not that I physically witnessed. Question how tall is Professor Dershowitz? Answer I don't know. Question Is he closer to five five or five six? Goodness, five, five, five, six, five seven. He's not six foot. Question does he have any distinguishing characteristics? Answer like, are you asking me skin color? Question Any distinguishing physical characteristics, whatever that might mean to you? Answer, he's older. I don't know what you mean. Like, does he have a mole in a specific place? Is that what you're asking me? Question Anything that might occur to you? No, not that I know of. Question did you know who he was before you met him the first time? Answer no. Question now, one of the places that you say you had sex with Professor Dershowitz was in New Mexico, correct? Answer yes. Question when was that? Answer again. It's hard for me to place exact times and dates, but it wasn't snowing and it wasn't hot, so it could have been fall or spring. One thing that I do remember was Jeffrey was having a pool area painted and the massage room was just off the pool area. Question what else do you remember? Answer I remember the smell of paint. I remember later that evening there was a dinner party of a whole bunch of academic scientists. I guess I'm not too sure. We weren't really allowed to have and make conversation with the people around us. Question how many people were at this dinner party? Answer I don't know the exact number, but over 15. Question anybody that you recall? Anybody famous? Answer no, nobody famous that I recall. I'm just showing that they are distinguished in their own way. But besides Alan Dershowitz, Jeffrey Epstein, Glenn Maxwell redacted the house staff. Question now, you said there was a dinner party with redacted Answer Yes, Question. Were any of the redacted that we talked about early today at that party? Answer. Not that I remember. They could have been, but I was not there for anyone else. Question. How did you get there by airplane? Jeffrey? Question. You flew privately for that event? Yes. How did you leave privately? Question. How long were you there? Maybe anywhere between three days and a week. Questions. So at least three days? At least three days. Who else was on the plane with you? Jeffrey Epstein. Redacted. Ghislaine, myself, the pilots. Possibly redacted. I can't remember. He was on the plane sometimes and sometimes not. So can you spell redacted's last name? McCauley. If you know off the top of my head, who is redacted? Redacted. Was Professor Dershowitz on the plane? Answer. No. All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up right here. And in the next episode dealing with the topic, we're gonna pick up where we left off.

Podcast Summary: The Epstein Chronicles
Host: Bobby Capucci
Episode: Mega Edition: Virginia Roberts Deposition in Edwards and Cassell v. Alan Dershowitz (Part 1–3)
Date: April 11, 2026
This episode offers a deep dive into the January 2016 deposition of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, taken as part of a lawsuit by Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell against Alan Dershowitz. The testimony is pivotal, given Roberts’ central role as a survivor and witness in the Epstein case. Host Bobby Capucci walks listeners through extensive, sometimes contentious questioning—primarily by Ms. Borja, Dershowitz’s counsel—and highlights the broader implications for the transcontinental criminal conspiracy tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit. The episode is rich with direct deposition dialogue, legal maneuvering, and emotional candor.
“She had some safety issues with respect to her location, so we're not going to be putting that out on the record.” (06:30, McCauley)
Trafficking Allegations in Legal Filings (09:00–15:00)
Q: “Epstein required Jane Doe 3 to have sexual relations with Dershowitz on numerous occasions when she was a minor… Is that allegation true?"
A (Roberts): “Yes.” (12:00) Q: “Epstein also trafficked Jane Doe 3 for sexual purposes to many other powerful men…”
A (Roberts): “Yes.” (13:00)
Clarification on 'Foreign Presidents' and 'World Leaders' (15:05–20:00)
Roberts denies being trafficked to “foreign presidents” or being able to identify such a person.
A (Roberts): “As far as foreign presidents, I'm not too sure. I don't know…No.” (16:20)
She confirms being trafficked to a “well-known prime minister,” but refuses to name him citing safety:
“I'm not going to point blank, I'm not going to say his name.” (20:00)
After much legal back-and-forth, Roberts names Prince Andrew as a world leader she was trafficked to, and mentions another unidentified prince in the south of France.
Powerful Business Executives and Politicians
Q: “The Dubins, Glenn Dubin. Were you sexually trafficked to more than one Dubin?”
A (Roberts): “No…just to Glenn.” (30:15)
Notable Quotes
“To the extent that, you know, if you want to bring her counsel in and have them present during something like this, that’s fine. But this witness, who is a non-party to this litigation, who’s a victim herself, doesn’t have to speak about other underage victims.” (McCauley, 48:10)
Q: “Do you have knowledge of Professor Dershowitz having sex with a minor girl other than you claim yourself?” A (Virginia): “Yes, I don’t know their names… I witnessed it.” (1:00:45)
Physical Description and Awareness
Notable Quote:
“They [Epstein and Maxwell] lent me to a lot of gentlemen. It’s very hard for me to remember all their names and who they were and what they did.” (Virginia, 44:20)
The tone is unflinching, at times raw and emotional but strictly legalistic where required. The host maintains respectful seriousness, while the deposition participants oscillate between procedural formality, legal skirmishing, and moments of open distress or candor from Roberts. The episode is information-dense, abstaining from sensationalism, and reflects the grave gravity of the underlying subject matter.
For listeners seeking a granular, up-close understanding of the allegations, Roberts’ perspective, and the legal hurdles to survivor testimony in cases of sexual trafficking, this episode is essential. The content is distressing but crucial for grasping the scale and complexity of the Epstein network and the battle for accountability.
