This affidavit by attorney Bradley Edwards details difficulties in discovery for a civil case against Jeffrey Epstein (Case 10-81111). It alleges that key witnesses Ghislaine Maxwell and Jean Luc Brunel evaded depositions by falsely claiming to be out of the country. Crucially, it lists specific individuals for whom Epstein paid legal fees to prevent them from testifying against him, explicitly labeling Sarah Kellen as a 'procurer of girls' and Nadia Marcinkova as a 'live-in sex slave', while also identifying his personal pilots and household staff.
