[0:01]We're taking a statement from a student by your last name, Swami.
[0:09]I just explained to you that my purpose of speaking with you is that of a witness.
[0:18]Basically, in your own words, I'd like for you to tell me how you came in contact with this gentleman named Jeff.
[0:27]But before we do, raise your right hand for me.
[0:30]Okay, well, we were really good friends, and we were just hanging out one day, and she was like,
[0:49]Hey, you know, I met this guy, I'm running with you on, you know, I'm running with some money.
[0:56]And I was like, well, you know me for what?
[0:59]And as I didn't know, she's like, oh.
[1:02]I used to do, like, massaging for, like, $200.
[1:05]And I was like, what?
[1:07]I was like, no.
[1:08]And all the time, they would ask me all the time, and I never would.
[1:11]But finally, she was like, all right, well, will you go over there with me?
[1:14]And I was like, all right, I'll go.
[1:16]Like, how's my palm beach hour?
[1:18]And I was like, why the hell not?
[1:19]I didn't see anything wrong with it.
[1:21]So I went, and I sat in the kitchen.
[1:26]I thought, just cook.
[1:27]I wanted to go, like, upstairs, like, prepare.
[1:30]But since I wasn't working, I was not.
[1:32]I was not allowed to go anywhere in that kitchen.
[1:35]I wasn't allowed to walk around, wasn't allowed upstairs, wasn't allowed.
[1:40]When did this first happen?
[1:42]I'd say, like, last year sometime, like, maybe around.
[1:48]About a year ago?
[1:51]Yeah, about a year ago.
[1:52]Okay.
[1:53]And you sat in the kitchen?
[1:58]Yep.
[1:58]And you met with the cook?
[2:00]Yes.
[2:01]One guy.
[2:03]What's his name?
[2:03]Do you remember?
[2:04]I do not remember.
[2:06]How many times do you think you've been to that house?
[2:12]Probably four or five.
[2:16]Four or five times?
[2:17]Mm-hmm.
[2:18]Now, when you went there, obviously, you didn't go up, you didn't go up work for him.
[2:25]Right.
[2:25]As they call it.
[2:27]Who, who, who did the work?
[2:31]The time that you went?
[2:32]The girls, um, I went with them.
[2:42]When you went with them, did you do the work?
[2:45]Fall person, but, uh, the name of, um...
[2:58]I was in the kitchen that day.
[3:16]Okay.
[3:17]Right.
[3:17]So she's the one that worked?
[3:19]Yes.
[3:19]Okay.
[3:20]Each, each girl that you went with, both of the ones that did the work?
[3:26]Yes.
[3:28]That one day, when I was with him.
[3:30]Okay.
[3:31]Can you recall any conversations, um, in the car with either...
[3:36]Um...
[3:40]...that you may have had with them, as far as what to expect?
[3:43]I think I remember him saying that if he tells you, hey, you know what I mean, if you want to do anything else, just feel free to say no.
[3:53]And how, you know what I mean, people...
[3:56]Something to the extent where, like, hey, if he's, like, will you do this, just feel free to say no, and he'll be okay with it.
[4:04]Kind of like that.
[4:05]Okay.
[4:06]And what, what do you mean by, if he wants to do this, it's more than a massage?
[4:10]Right.
[4:10]Okay.
[4:11]What, what do you know of that goes on up in the massage, or work?
[4:16]Nobody ever wanted to tell me anything, just that there have been massages and all, and I didn't even want to really know too much.
[4:25]Okay.
[4:26]This was, like, a little quick.
[4:33]You guys, based on, based on what I found out, what I've seen in the news, um, did she ever receive money for taking people?
[4:47]Yes, she did.
[4:49]Every time she bought a girl, she made an automatic $200.
[4:52]She made a $200?
[4:52]Mm-hmm.
[4:53]Who paid her?
[4:55]I believe so.
[4:55]Did you ever make any money for going with her, or?
[5:01]Never once.
[5:05]I never even really talked to him.
[5:09]Like, he came down twice, I think.
[5:13]Just once.
[5:13]He said hello, and that was pretty much it.
[5:15]He shook my hand, and that was that.
[5:19]Who else do you know of?
[5:20]Might have come to the house.
[5:23]I know a lot of girls that were there.
[5:25]Um, yeah, I'm pretty sure.
[5:35]She's the one that told us all about it.
[5:38]How do you think Ace met him?
[5:40]I think I asked her once, but, I don't know.
[5:46]Me and him, we don't talk anymore.
[5:47]We haven't talked in a while.
[5:48]During the drive, was there anybody, um, out of the three that you recall?
[6:05]Dad, from...
[6:12]What was that?
[6:13]Did she say that if you do this, you get this?
[6:16]If you do that, you get this?
[6:18]The more you do, the more you get paid?
[6:20]Umm, no.
[6:23]She never said I didn't like that.
[6:25]She just said that you used to get $200 for, like, a massage.
[6:29]That was pretty much it.
[6:30]Nothing else.
[6:33]She never said I was, like, sexual.
[6:36]And she was lying about her age.
[6:47]And, and, uh, and, uh,
[6:52]Do you know her last name?
[6:56]Yeah, I remember her telling us that she's a twin.
[7:06]But when they went, obviously they went to high school.
[7:11]Right.
[7:12]Why?
[7:19]About her age.
[7:22]Because she just looked really young.
[7:24]She was just like really confused about what was going on.
[7:27]She just had 200, she was just like, wow.
[7:31]You know, she just looked really young.
[7:33]Things about her.
[7:35]Really?
[7:36]Yeah.
[7:46]Who would you say she was?
[7:51]I think she was like a secretary, she answered all the phone calls.
[8:34]Really pretty girl, really pretty blonde girl.
[8:39]Her was a model.
[8:41]I don't remember her name, but her was very nice.
[8:48]Really, really, really nice girl.
[8:50]Four or five times that you went, girls worked?
[9:09]The only time I ever really went was with...
[9:11]When I went with...
[9:13]But she was always there all the time.
[9:17]She'd come with me and...
[9:23]Always. I never did. Never. I couldn't. There's something wrong about that. You know, I'm not stupid.
[9:33]Do you know if any of these girls had any formal massage training set out?
[9:41]Yeah.
[9:42]Okay. Is there anything else you'd like to add to the statement?
[9:47]Just to say that's all I know.
[9:53]Before I end it, it looks like it just came to my mind. How long ago was this?
[9:58]I want to say about a year ago too.
[10:02]A year?
[10:03]Yeah.
[10:04]Okay.
[10:09]About the same time. I haven't seen any of these girls in about a year.
[10:12]Well, actually, I haven't heard about definitely about a year.
[10:17]Okay. And what about ?
[10:22]About a year ago.
[10:23]Okay. At this time, I'm going to go ahead and conclude your statement.
[10:36]Again, I appreciate you meeting with me.
[10:38]Thank you.
[10:39]Do you have any questions?
[10:40]No.
[10:41]Okay. At this time, I'm going to go ahead and conclude the statement.
[10:44]The time on my watch is about 1025 a.m.
