During a videotaped deposition on April 22, 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell was questioned at the offices of Boies Schiller & Flexner in New York, related to a case involving Virginia Giuffre. Maxwell, under oath, denied knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged sexual activities with minors and dismissed claims made by Giuffre as lies, while also refuting any involvement in procuring underage girls for Epstein. Maxwell disputes recalling specific events, including interactions with Prince Andrew and refutes owning or using sex toys at Epstein's property. The deposition includes several objections from Maxwell's attorney regarding the form and foundation of questions, and instructions not to answer certain queries, with a declaration to raise objections to unanswered questions with the court.
The document is a reply filed by Plaintiff Virginia Giuffre's counsel supporting her motion for a protective order and a directive for Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell to reveal the individuals to whom she has disseminated confidential information. Giuffre's legal team argues that the court should maintain confidentiality for highly sensitive documents, including police reports from Giuffre's childhood that detail her rape at the age of 14 and other instances of victimization. The reply criticizes Maxwell for seeking to make these documents public, which Giuffre's lawyers view as an attempt to discredit her. They contend that the privacy interests of Giuffre outweigh any merit in releasing the information and urge the court to protect her from further annoyance, embarrassment, or oppression.
Jeffrey Epstein, during a deposition, repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights in response to questions about his alleged sexual abuse of underage girls and his relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell.

His refusal to respond extended to inquiries about financial arrangements, interactions with high-profile individuals, and his relationship with Maxwell, who he allegedly worked with in a sex trafficking scheme involving minors.
