Key Findings

  • EFTA00157613: FBI prep memo (June 2021). When Alessi quit Dec 2002 and warned Jeffrey Epstein 'one of those girls is going to get you in trouble,' Jeffrey Epstein replied: 'they only want money.'
  • EFTA00157613: First identified victim was ~14-15 years old, a high schooler. Alessi personally picked her up from her school and home. She visited ~twice/week in the late 1990s.
  • EFTA00157613: By end of employment, Jeffrey Epstein received 3 massages daily (morning/afternoon/evening) with a different girl each appointment. Alessi maintained the masseuses' rolodex.
  • EFTA00157613: Alessi was hired ~1990 at 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, recommended by Les Wexner, directly linking Wexner to Jeffrey Epstein's household staff from the start.
  • EFTA00157613: Separation agreement Jan 2, 2003, $30,000 to Juan + $20,000 to wife Maria + COBRA, with NDA and full release of claims against Jeffrey Epstein, Maxwell, and entities.
  • EFTA00157613: Named visitors to 358 El Brillo Way: Trump, Senator George Mitchell, JFK Jr., Dershowitz, Wexner, Prince Andrew and wife, Nobel laureates.
  • EFTA00016590: FBI prep memo for Maxwell trial testimony (Nov 30, 2021). Alessi confirmed receiving household manual booklet from Maxwell and a "duchess from England" hired to train staff. Fought with Maxwell over the checklists; refused to fill them out. Recognized pages 1-6, 8, 10; disputed page 7 (phone answer) and page 31 (alcohol).
  • EFTA00066372 / EFTA00075882: Two standalone 59-page scans of the complete Household Manual for 358 El Brillo Way (dated 2/14/2005). Staff instructed: "see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing." Detailed checklists for every room, prohibited language, grooming standards, and security protocols reporting to Maxwell.
  • EFTA02731082 (SDNY prosecution memo, July 13, 2019 interview): Saw "hundreds" of girls at Palm Beach residence. Told Jeffrey Epstein "these girls" would get him in trouble, Jeffrey Epstein replied: "these girls only care about money." When Alessi left, Jeffrey Epstein warned: "I hope you keep your mouth shut." Maxwell kept a basket of sex toys in her room and was "occasionally inside the massage room with the young women." CITATION CORRECTED 2026-08-08: published citing EFTA00022461, which resolves to parent EFTA00022456 - a 2021 USAO/CBP WebEx email thread containing none of this. The SDNY prosecution memo is EFTA02731082; every quoted fragment in this claim was located verbatim in EFTA02731082.
