The Unsealed Jeffrey Epstein Grand Jury Documents From Florida (Part 10)
About this episode
The bill, effective July 1, 2024, aims to provide transparency and justice for Epstein’s victims by revealing previously sealed grand jury proceedings. This move has been celebrated by victims and advocates as a significant step toward accountability and justice.
Epstein's 2006 investigation involved the Palm Beach Police Department, which had recommended multiple felony charges, including unlawful sexual activity with a minor and lewd or lascivious molestation. However, the State Attorney at the time chose to present the evidence to a grand jury, resulting in the details and names of those involved remaining sealed.
HB 117's passage was supported by two of Epstein's victims, who joined Governor DeSantis in Palm Beach to mark the occasion. Governor DeSantis emphasized that the public deserves to know who participated in Epstein’s sex trafficking and that wealth and status should not protect individuals from facing justice. Representative Peggy Gossett-Seidman also highlighted the significance of this legislation for the victims and the Palm Beach community that suffered from Epstein's actions.
And now those documents are available for us to dive into.

and remember how I told you that the prosecutor is down in Florida, savage their own witnesses, this is what I'm talking about, this is not how you roll if you're a prosecutor, the idea is to try and make your witnesses, you know, credible, but unfortunately folks, after reading the OIG report into the non-prostitution agreement, and now reading this, I am 100% sure that the fix was in, and the fix came from the bosses at the DOJ, we're talking about the bosses, Mukaze and company, not a costa, you really think a costa has this kind of sway, jurr, can you speak up please? Belahovlik, can you speak up, witness, yes, Belahovlik, okay, is that an activity that you have stopped? Answer yes, Belahovlik, okay, I'm going to ask you at this point if the grand jurors have any questions for you, okay, do you need a minute? Answer, I'm fine. Belahovlik, okay, Belahovlik, any questions for a misredacted jurr, I didn't quite hear, during the time you were a junior, did Mr. Epstein actually
have penetrational sex with you while you were a junior? The witness, while I was junior in high school, no, jurr, then how old were you? Witness, I was still 17 at the time, jurr, you were still 17, witness, yes, Belahovlik, the day before your 18th birthday, witness, yes, jurr, did do you still have contact with Mr. Epstein? Witness, no, jurr, does he or do you have the same cell phone? Witness, no, I've had three different numbers since then, jurr, and you do know that since your 18 now, she's not, you could be prosecuted, the witness, yes, wow, these jurrs, this whole entire thing was absolutely disgusting down here. And whoever these jurrs are, I hope you're happy with yourselves, you bunch of fucking clowns, jurr, and you still say you will not testify against Mr. Epstein? Witness, no, I would not like to, jurr, would you? Witness, I suppose if I had another subpoena to where that's going to jail, yes, I would. Another jurr gets picked, a lady in the back.
You did not want to have intercourse with them. Witness, no, jurr, did you ask them to stop? Witness, no, jurr, and why? Witness, I'm not really sure. jurr, do you think you took advantage of your youth? Witness, maybe, but it was also stupid of me to put myself in that situation. jurr, perhaps you were too young to be up against a man of that age who had more control over you, then you knew. Witness, yes, jurr, do you feel it's wrong of him to take advantage of your youth? Witness, yes, I do. jurr, and did he take away from your person, your being, your spirit? Witness, yes, jurr, and would you testify against him for what he has done and the wrong he has done? Witness, no, because I would like to put it behind me for the most part. I was successful until about two days ago. Belahovlik calls on another jurr, so the reason that you don't want to testify is more just because of your personal embarrassment. Witness, yes, jurr, okay. Belahovlik calls on another jurr.
Jeffrey knew or you had said that you did tell him you were only 17. The witness, yes, jurr, and he was aware of that. Witness, he was well aware of my age from the very beginning. Belahovlik calls on another jurr. If you had a daughter, would you want her to testify or tell you? Witness, I don't really know. Another jurr gets called upon. Would it mean anything special to you if you could be the person that's strong enough to stand up to put him away so he will never do anything like this to anybody else? Could you be strong enough to do that or want to do that? The witness, I wish that I could say that I could, but I really don't think that I can. Belahovlik, any other questions? Another jurr gets called upon. The pursuit, this idea about testifying, would you do it? I mean, would you testify if you were subpoenaed? And would you tell the truth? Witness, if I did not have to choice whether or not to testify, obviously I would have to. Yes, I would tell the truth, because if I'm going to have to do it, I might as well do it right.
jurr, I think for your character, for your own well-being, you have to ask questions, not comment. Miss Belahovlik interrupts. jurr, okay, the testify would be the right thing to do and the legal thing to do. jurr, would you do it under those circumstances? Witness, like I said, if it was between testifying and going to jail, I would testify, which is why I'm here today. Miss Belahovlik, all right, thank you, miss, redacted, and the witness is excused. All right, we're going to wrap up this episode right here, and in the next episode, we're going to pick up with the next witness, Jensen Ross.
