A I was aware that he had a criminal conviction. Q How were you aware of that? A I'm not sure. Either I looked it up or somebody told me. Q Did Dr. Nikolic tell you that? A I'm not sure. Q Do you recall knowing at that time what the criminal conviction was for? A I knew that it was of a sexual nature, but, no, I don't think I knew -- dug into the specifics, although I probably should have. Q Would you normally look into people's backgrounds before you met with them? Was this an uncommon way of handling it? A I don't have a formal process for people I meet. Q Did you ask Mr. Epstein about this conviction at that time? A I did not bring it up during that dinner. Q And he didn't bring it up either? A No. Q Did anyone ever raise concerns to you about Mr. Epstein with regard to that conviction or anything else in 2011? A Well, throughout the time I spent with Epstein, the concern about his reputation was voiced by me and by other people, so there was an awareness that he had a bad reputation stemming from his criminal conviction. Q And are you saying you were aware of these concerns early on or are you describing conversations that occurred later in your relationship with Mr. Epstein? A I'd say both. Q So you were aware he had a bad reputation and he had some sort of sex-related conviction at the time you first entered into contact with him?
