Summary

This document is an email chain from April 21-22, 2015, in which ABC News correspondent James Hill contacts attorney Martin Weinberg to request response to allegations made by Virginia Roberts in an on-camera interview. Roberts alleges that starting at age 15 in 1999, she was recruited as a masseuse by Ghislaine Maxwell, sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein, paid for sexual services, coerced into recruiting other underage girls, forced to have sexual relations with Epstein's associates including Prince Andrew on multiple occasions, and present during video recording in Epstein's homes.
