Jeffrey Epstein's Little Black Book Makes Its Courtroom Debut

Juan Alessi, Jeffrey Epstein's driver and head servant, affirms on Thursday.

On day four of the Ghislaine Maxwell preliminary, Government Exhibit 52 made its eagerly awaited introduction. This is Jeffrey Epstein's "little dark book"- the phone registry containing names and numbers for a gigantic

List of Epstein's affluent and incredible companions and furthermore, probably, a portion of individuals who've blamed him for wrongdoings.

The book was presented as the indictment's observer Juan Alessi was on the stand. Alessi was the

Steward/driver/gofer at Epstein's Palm Beach, Florida, house from around 1991 until 2002. He portrayed the debauched air around the manor, which he said was run "like a five-star lodging." He was relied upon to keep wads of hundred-dollar notes supplied in every one of Epstein's vehicles consistently. He said there were numerous ladies who stayed nearby Epstein's pool and that they were topless "75 to 80 percent of the time." He said Maxwell, whom he called the "woman of the house," took numerous photographs of these topless ladies, and showed them in outlines around her work area there. He likewise said clearly Maxwell was accountable for running the family. Furthermore she snoozed Epstein's room, with Epstein.

Recently, "Jane"- the pseudonymous informer who affirms that Epstein and Maxwell physically mishandled her over a time of years beginning when she was 14-talked about a "sweet, Latin American man" who'd chauffeured her between her home and Epstein's. Today it turned out to be clear this was Alessi. He said he drove Jane to the house both with her mom and alone. He said he drove Jane to the motion pictures with Epstein and Maxwell. What's more he said he drove Jane, with her baggage, onto the landing area at the Palm Beach air terminal, where he saw her load up Epstein's private plane alongside Epstein and Maxwell (and, he was mindful so as to take note of, Maxwell's canine a little Yorkie named Max).

Alessi depicted the many individuals who might go to the house to give back rubs to Epstein, saying that 98% of them were ladies. After a portion of these back rubs, when he confessed all in to up, Alessi would find "a huge dildo-like a man's penis, with two heads" close to the back rub table. He would wash it off and put it in a bin in Maxwell's restroom

(there were his and hers off the main room) since he realized that is the place where it was kept.

A great deal of these subtleties were indispensable to the indictment's case. Yet, for the story past the story-the interest around Jeffrey Epstein, how he got his riches, what he had some awareness of his popular companions the little dark book was the genuine object of interest. An investigator removed it from its own committed accordion document, given it around for the safeguard group and judge to assess, and afterward brought it up to Alessi on the testimony box. He distinguished it as the sort of address book that would be at Epstein's home, and he said he perceived a significant number of the sections.

Prior to the beginning of the preliminary, NPR announced that investigators say the data in the book "will assist with setting up who and what Maxwell knew-including 'a derivation that the respondent realized that at minimum a portion of these people were minors." But we got no succulent subtleties from the little dark book today. No boldface names. It's conceivable we

Never will. The indictment appears to need to place a vigorously redacted form of it into proof. There were long sidebar contentions regarding what could be conceded and why. As the legal advisors jawed at one another, Alessi, still on the stand, just nonchalantly flipped through the book's pages, examining them with interest.

Close to the furthest limit of the day, Alessi talked about the finish of his work with Epstein. It appeared he'd become exhausted and, figuring out the underlying story, it was predominantly Maxwell

Who annoyed him. He abhorred the itemized, thorough agenda of assignments she caused him to perform around the house, and the manner in which she requested him to petition himself around her and Epstein. At a certain point she told him never to visually connect with Epstein, and to "take a gander at an alternate piece of the room" when Epstein talked with him.

A couple of years after Alessi quit the place of employment since he was "incredibly, worn out on it," his marriage self-destructed and he ran into monetary trouble. By then he "serious the gravest misstep I've at any point made in my life." He slipped through an opened sliding entryway at Epstein's home and took $6,300 from Epstein's work area. Epstein before long called him and, having seen Alessi on security film, stood up to him about the burglary. Epstein chose not to squeeze charges, and Alessi took care of the full aggregate. Alessi actually appeared to be thankful, even today, for Epstein's kindness.
