Dear Mr Klein Ross Gow of Acuity Reputation, who I have retained to deal with press enquiries, tells me that you have sent him the following list of questions. My condition of answering those questions is that you print this reply in full. I've answered in a narrative form, which I hope will make sense both to you and to your readers. I've tried to keep it succinct. We don't know each other but I am familiar with the world ofjournalism and there is an obvious temptation for journalists to sensationalise their stories, so, as a precaution, I've sent a copy of this letter to Vanity Fair's Editor in Chief, Graydon Carter. Driving straight to the heart of the matter, the allegations that have been made against me are part of an attempt by EFTA_R1_00518419 EFTA02015483  and her lawyer, to extort money from me. This follows an unsuccessful attempt by them at blackmailing me. To spice up the story they have made allegations about HRH Prince Andrew. They are untrue. You must be aware that former partner [check this], Scott Rothstein, is now serving a 50 year prison term for creating false allegations against Mr Epstein and then using those allegations to obtain money by deception in a Ponzi scheme. You know that Mr Rothstein destroyed people's lives with his fantastic and untrue suits and that in pursuit of his evil plans he corrupted ex policemen to create faked cases. He even forged the signatures of judges to sign off on those charges [I am not aware of this level of detail - is it correct?' . You will be aware that Mr. now, himself, faces a professional investigation and serious potential charges. allegations only emerged at the time that Scott Rothstein was creating false claims and years atter the alleged misconduct . The releasing of the allegations to the national press only occurred after I refused to make any payments to silence Ms or her attorneys because the allegations were utterly false. As you will be aware, it is also believed to be the case that she has been paid a large sum of money by at least one British national newspaper. That represents a further incentive to make false claims. if you write a balanced article, you will be bound to record that Ms has made a previous claim of sexual harassment totally unrelated to Mr Epstein and which was not proceed with because the police took the view she had no credibility. You will also, presumably, draw attention to the fact that, prior to filing her civil suit against Mr Epstein, Ms fled the US to avoid being arrested for jis this correct. My recollection is that we knew she was indicted but did not know the outcome. Perhaps you have better information now] All in all, given her record, which includes a number of other highly colourful events (of which I have no doubt you will be aware and EFTA_R1_00518420 EFTA02015484  will reflect) ! assume you will treat what she says with great scepticism. All the untrue events are alleged to have happened ten years ago. Until those allegations emerged I had no recollection of Ms at all. I couldn't hove picked her out in a crowd or, perhaps more relevantly in her case, in an identity parade. After some thought, I recalled that I first met Msnhen she was working at a claiming to be 18 years old and a professional masseuse. As part of his health programme, Mr Epstein had regular massages and employed both female and male masseuses. Msnlways came to Mr Epstein's property with either her mother or fiancé in attendance, sometimes both. I was aware of no improper conduct and none was brought to my attention. When it comes to Ms allegations about her time in London, I can't say I remember her at all and neither can I remember flying with her. I fly many thousands of miles a year all over the world in many different aircraft. Of course, I've seen the photograph of the Duke of York with but I have absolutely no recollection at all of the photograph being taken and cannot say who took it. I've met the Duke of York on a number of occasions but whenever I've seen him he has been properly attired and I have no knowledge of naked pool parties at Mr Epstein's Palm Beach estate or elsewhere. I do not share any homes with Mr Epstein and he does not support me in any way. To put this in context my relationship with Mr Epstein ended over a decade ago and since then I have had a long term relationship. Mr Epstein's imprisonment and the circumstances to which that related occurred over 5 years after our relationship had ceased. IfI've missed anything do let Mr. Gow know.
