Kuvaus

The videotaped deposition of Virginia Roberts Giuffre taken on January 16, 2016, in Fort Lauderdale sits at the center of the bitter legal war between Epstein survivors’ attorneys Bradley Edwards and Paul Cassell and Alan Dershowitz, who was accused by Giuffre of sexually abusing her when she was a minor trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein. In the deposition, Giuffre gives a detailed, sworn narrative of how she was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell, groomed, trafficked to powerful men, and moved across multiple jurisdictions while still underage. She identifies Epstein’s residences, flight patterns, intermediaries, and specific encounters, placing her allegations firmly inside the broader trafficking structure rather than as isolated claims. The testimony was preserved on video precisely because her lawyers anticipated that credibility, consistency, and demeanor would become central issues in the defamation battle that followed. It also captured Giuffre under oath before years of public pressure, media narratives, and evolving legal strategies could reshape the record. What made this deposition legally explosive was its direct role in the defamation and civil litigation between Dershowitz and the Edwards–Cassell team, after Giuffre publicly accused Dershowitz and he responded with an aggressive campaign claiming she had fabricated the allegations and falsely implicated him. The video became a critical piece of evidence in determining whether Giuffre’s statements were knowingly false or grounded in a consistent trafficking account supported by contemporaneous detail. Dershowitz’s lawyers later argued that contradictions, memory gaps, and timeline disputes undermined her credibility, while Giuffre’s side pointed to the overall coherence of her narrative and the corroborating travel and contact records emerging in parallel cases. Long before the unsealing battles and public reckonings, this deposition quietly locked in one of the earliest comprehensive sworn accounts of Epstein’s trafficking network—and the legal fault line that would later fracture the reputations of some of the most powerful lawyers and institutions tied to the case. to  contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: 1257-12.pdf [https://www.justice.gov/multimedia/Court%20Records/Giuffre%20v.%20Maxwell,%20No.%20115-cv-07433%20(S.D.N.Y.%202015)/1257-12.pdf]

Roza Gilles and the Abuse That Continued During Epstein’s Sentence (Part 1) (7/24/26)

Roza Gilles was an 18-year-old aspiring model from Uzbekistan when she came to the United States in 2009 and became financially indebted to MC2 Model Management for her visa and housing. She was offered weekend administrative work at Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida Science Foundation office in West Palm Beach while Epstein was supposedly serving his jail sentence under an extraordinarily permissive work-release arrangement. Gilles said that during one of her first encounters with Epstein, he ordered her to undress, and when she froze, another woman removed her blouse and bra. She later realized that the device on Epstein’s ankle was a monitoring bracelet and that the man abusing her was technically still an inmate. Gilles’s account offers a disturbing illustration of how Epstein’s 2008 plea agreement and work-release privileges allowed him to continue operating in an environment filled with employees, vulnerable young women and even uniformed law-enforcement officers. She recalled seeing a sheriff at Epstein’s Palm Beach residence and concluding that Epstein was so protected that nothing she did could stop him. After eventually leaving his orbit, moving to New York and becoming financially independent, Gilles married, settled in the Midwest and became a fitness trainer. She is now speaking publicly in the hope that greater transparency will expose the people and institutions that enabled Epstein and finally deliver meaningful accountability for survivors. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Exclusive: Roza Gilles was an 18-year-old model when Jeffrey Epstein first abused her — while he was serving jail time | CNN Politics [https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/20/politics/roza-gilles-jeffrey-epstein-victim-abuse]

Johanna Sjoberg's Deposition In The Maxwell/Virginia Roberts Suit (Part 10)

In her deposition in the defamation lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, Johanna Sjoberg described being recruited to work for Jeffrey Epstein under the impression that it was a legitimate job opportunity. According to her testimony, she was initially hired to help with office work but was soon asked to give massages to Epstein—something she testified quickly evolved into inappropriate and unwanted conduct. Sjoberg stated that Ghislaine Maxwell played a central role in managing the household and was often present during these encounters, contributing to the atmosphere of control and pressure. Her deposition supported claims made by Giuffre and other women who alleged they were misled into situations where they were exploited. Sjoberg also testified about interactions with well-known individuals while in Epstein’s company, including an allegation involving Prince Andrew, which she said took place at Epstein’s residence. She described an incident in which Maxwell, Epstein, and others were present during a moment she considered inappropriate and unsettling. While the full extent of those interactions remains the subject of legal scrutiny and public interest, Sjoberg’s deposition contributed to the broader pattern of allegations suggesting a tightly controlled environment where young women were manipulated under false pretenses. Her account was one of several that added weight to the claims being investigated in both civil and criminal proceedings surrounding Epstein and Maxwell. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
