MS. COMEY: Thank you. DIRECT EXAMINATION CONTINUED
BY MS. COMEY:
MS. COMEY: Good morning, Jane.
MS. COMEY: Just a few follow-up questions from yesterday.
First, how many, if any, trips do you remember taking with Sean to Las Vegas during your relationship?
MS. COMEY: And do you remember about when that was?
MS. COMEY: And are you estimating?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember how you got to Las Vegas?
MS. COMEY: On his private jet?
MS. COMEY: And do you remember how long you stayed?
MS. COMEY: And do you remember generally what you and Sean did over those two nights?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember what happened at that hotel?
MS. COMEY: What happened?
MS. COMEY: And when you say we had that, what do you mean?
MS. COMEY: So did you have a hotel night?
MS. COMEY: And did you have sex with the entertainer?
MS. COMEY: And was that in generally the same way you described for us yesterday, following that same pattern?
MS. COMEY: I want to ask you about certain phrases that may have been used during the relationship.
When, if ever, did Sean refer to "going off the grid"?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember what it meant, or no?
MS. COMEY: And when, if ever, did Sean use the word "freak" when communicating with you?
MS. COMEY: And in what context, if you remember?
MS. COMEY: To describe you?
MS. COMEY: Can you explain what you mean?
MS. COMEY: And when he said he wants his freak, what did you understand Sean was telling you?
MS. COMEY: Now, I want to pick up where we left off yesterday, talking about the pattern or the routine of these hotel nights. OK?
During hotel nights, usually, what, if any, protection would you and the entertainer use during the intercourse?
MS. COMEY: Why none?
MS. COMEY: And who was your partner?
MS. COMEY: Did you ever ask Sean if the entertainers could wear condoms?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: Overruled.
BY MS. COMEY:
MS. COMEY: Did you ever ask Sean if the entertainers could wear condoms?
MS. COMEY: Once or more than once?
MS. COMEY: About how many times do you remember asking Sean if the entertainer could wear a condom while you were in the hotel room?
MS. COMEY: What's the first one that you can recall?
MS. COMEY: And what's the second time you can recall?
MS. COMEY: OK. We'll talk about that in a little bit. OK?
And those two times, how did Sean respond?
JANE: He responded dismissive and kind of just almost -- I don't know. Just in a sense, like, guilt trip me out of it and that it wasn't something that he wanted to see.
MS. COMEY: What was Sean's tone when he would have -- when he had these two conversations with you in the room?
JANE: A bit condescending, like, just wanted me to move on from the subject, like, as if it just wasn't going to happen, so, like, stop asking.
MS. COMEY: In either of those conversations, did Sean explain why he did not want the entertainer to wear a condom when having sex with you?
MS. COMEY: About how many times, if any, did you discuss having entertainers wear condoms with Sean when you were sober and outside of hotel rooms?
MS. COMEY: Yes, I can.
Did you ever have any conversations with Sean when you were sober and not in a hotel room about whether the entertainers could wear condoms?
MS. COMEY: About how many times do you remember having conversations like that with Sean?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember about when?
MS. COMEY: So approximately 2021 period?
MS. COMEY: How did those conversations come up?
MS. COMEY: What do you remember?
JANE: I just -- I would, I just vaguely remember those two times where I brought up the condoms, and he brought up how these men were tested. And then just another time where I hinted at a condom or I myself am asking the entertainer if he can wear a condom.
MS. COMEY: Do you know whether any conversations between you and Sean about whether an entertainer could wear a condom was ever recorded?
MS. COMEY: How many recordings of this kind of conversation are you aware of?
MS. COMEY: And could you tell us about that recording?
JANE: Yes. This was one of the instances where I'm trying to ask the entertainer if he could wear a condom before we have sex, and he's trying to look for it. And Sean comes in and is asking what we're all trying to look for.
MS. COMEY: Do you remember who the entertainer was?
MS. COMEY: Was this that first time with Don in May of 2021 or a later time?
MS. COMEY: Do you know how that conversation was recorded?
MS. COMEY: Why was an iPhone recording you and Don?
MS. COMEY: Video or audio recording?
MS. COMEY: So have you seen this video?
MS. COMEY: And did you watch it recently?
MS. COMEY: Have you also listened to the audio of it?
MS. COMEY: At this time I'd like to pull up, please, what's in evidence as Government Exhibit AX-701-79B, and I'd like to pull up as an aid Government Exhibit AX-701-79BT.
MS. COMEY: Jane, did you listen to this exhibit in the last couple of days?
MS. COMEY: And did you review the transcript that's up on the screen?
MS. COMEY: And did you confirm that the transcript accurately captures the voices that you can hear on the recording?
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I'd ask that we please play the recording starting at 8 minutes and 25 seconds. And it's fine to play it for the whole courtroom. I've checked it to make sure it's consistent with your Honor's sealing orders.
THE COURT: All right. You may.
MS. COMEY: Ms. Gavin, would you please play the recording starting at 8 minutes and 25 seconds.
(Media played)
BY MS. COMEY:
MS. COMEY: Jane, I want to ask you a couple of questions, and then I'm going to play this again and pause and ask you some specific questions about it. OK?
MS. COMEY: OK. So first, whose voices did we just hear on that recording?
MS. COMEY: And what were you asking Don to do at the beginning of the audio we just heard?
JANE: I was asking Don if he could see if there was a condom around and if he could wear a condom.
MS. COMEY: And then what did Don do in response?
MS. COMEY: And then what -- and then who came into the conversation at that point?
MS. COMEY: Had he been out of the area where you and Don were at that point?
MS. COMEY: And then when he came in, what did Sean say?
JANE: What are you guys doing? What do you want? And I said condoms, or I think Don said she's looking for a condom.
MS. COMEY: Is that your independent memory, not what you can hear on the audio?
MS. COMEY: And then when you later in the conversation said, you promised, what were you referring to?
JANE: I refer -- I'm referring to a conversation I had with him that I just preferred to wear condoms and if we can wear condoms.
MS. COMEY: And in that -- had that conversation taken place before this hotel night that was being recorded?
MS. COMEY: And what had Sean told you in that conversation before this hotel night?
MS. COMEY: That what was fine?
MS. COMEY: And then what happened when you actually got in the room?
MS. COMEY: Ms. Gavin, can we please play one more time, and let's start a little earlier, at 8 minutes and 20 seconds, please. And I'm going to ask you to pause at a couple places.
(Media played)
MS. COMEY: Pause it, please, Ms. Gavin.
MS. COMEY: When you said I think they're in the chair, what were you referring to?
MS. COMEY: You can go ahead and play it. Thank you, Ms. Gavin.
(Media played)
MS. COMEY: Pause it, please.
MS. COMEY: What did you understand Sean meant when he said you were just taking that dick?
MS. COMEY: What's already happened without a condom?
MS. COMEY: We can keep playing it. Thank you, Ms. Gavin.
(Media played)
BY MS. COMEY:
MS. COMEY: Jane, when Sean said if you don't touch yourself right now, what did you understand he was saying?
MS. COMEY: Did you understand -- then what?
JANE: I just understood that my request is just going to be denied, so just move on from this request.
MS. COMEY: And what was your request?
MS. COMEY: Why did you feel like you needed permission from Sean to have the man who was having sex with your body wear a condom?
MS. COMEY: Can you explain what you mean when you say you're still trying to process?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection, your Honor.
THE COURT: Well, hold on. Hold on for a second.
Ms. Comey, could you rephrase the question that you asked.
BY MS. COMEY:
MS. COMEY: Jane, I'd asked you why you felt like you needed permission from Sean to have the man who was having sex with your body wear a condom?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection to that as well, your Honor.
MS. COMEY: She already answered that, your Honor.
THE COURT: Yes. That's overruled. So --
BY MS. COMEY:
MS. COMEY: And your answer was you're still trying to process. And I'm asking if you could explain to the jury what you mean when you answered you're still trying to process.
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: That's sustained.
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, can we have a sidebar?
THE COURT: Sure.
(Continued on next page)
(At sidebar)
MS. COMEY: I'm sorry, your Honor. I just don't understand the objection and why it was sustained, and I want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding something.
THE COURT: Ms. Geragos.
MS. GERAGOS: Mr. Agnifilo can take this.
MR. AGNIFILO: I think it's not an appropriate -- it's a question that delves into psychology and questions that I don't know that this witness is qualified to answer. So I don't know what the -- the answer seems -- if the witness is going to be asked to talk about factual things, that's one thing, but to get into what it means for her to be processing things --
THE COURT: Well, you agree that she can testify as to historical facts, exactly what happened, right?
MR. AGNIFILO: Of course.
THE COURT: She can also testify as to her understanding of things she experienced or things she heard, those types of things, in real time, right?
MR. AGNIFILO: Understanding, within reason, your Honor.
THE COURT: Of course.
And so I understood the objection to be that this is not on any of those types of issues. She said that she's still trying to process it, which I understood as being that she didn't have an explanation for that. So then when Ms. Comey asked for her to explain what does that mean, it's what does that mean when she was saying that she doesn't have, like, an answer to that question.
So I thought there was at least some vagueness in your question and there was some lack of understanding from the witness.
MS. COMEY: I appreciate that.
THE COURT: That's why it was sustained.
MS. COMEY: I appreciate that, your Honor.
I expect what she will say is that she is still trying to process the fact that this man had so much control over her body, which is what she's said to me when I've asked her that question before. When I've talked to her about this very recording, what she has said is I'm still trying to process the fact that he controlled me, he owned my body.
THE COURT: I think that that's a separate line of inquiry and might be an appropriate line of inquiry, but right now we're talking about a particular event and why in that moment certain things happened, why she allowed things to happen. And I don't think you're drawing any objections to those types of questions. I think it's on this, which is about what is happening right now.
It needs to be rephrased.
MS. COMEY: OK. I understand.
THE COURT: I don't know that the subject matter is out of bounds.
MS. COMEY: OK.
THE COURT: I think that it's a question to form.
MS. COMEY: Thank you, your Honor. That's what I wanted to understand.
THE COURT: Ms. Geragos.
MS. GERAGOS: Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.
I just would also ask that Ms. Comey not say sex with your own body. I don't like the tone of --
THE COURT: As to that question, if an objection had been raised the first time around, then I may have asked Ms. Comey to rephrase the question. I think it was just a phrasing issue. I don't think the substance of the question was improper.
MS. GERAGOS: OK.
THE COURT: But I understood it as being, the second time around, a form objection.
MS. GERAGOS: Yes.
MS. COMEY: So, Ms. Comey, if there's an objection --
MS. GERAGOS: And if going into that right now, I would just ask that it be rephrased, your Honor, to not argue like that.
THE COURT: Yes.
MS. GERAGOS: Thank you.
(Continued on next page)
(In open court; jury present)
MS. COMEY: We can take this down. Thank you, Ms. Gavin.
BY MS. COMEY:
MS. COMEY: Jane, in that moment that we were just listening to, why didn't you just insist that Don wear a condom?
MS. COMEY: And what did you think would happen if you disappointed Sean?
MS. COMEY: And what happened when he was unhappy, in your experience?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: That's overruled.
MS. COMEY: And what would his demeanor be toward you?
MS. COMEY: Jane, in a typical hotel night, how would intercourse with an entertainer end?
MS. COMEY: When you say finishing, do you mean ejaculating?
MS. COMEY: And when you say on me, do you mean on your body?
MS. COMEY: And then after that, what would you and Sean do?
MS. COMEY: And would you clean up the ejaculate in between?
MS. COMEY: Why not?
MS. COMEY: Not what who wanted?
MS. COMEY: After you and Sean had sex during a hotel night, what would typically happen next?
MS. COMEY: So if you just finished a round that we talked about yesterday with an entertainer, and then you and Sean had sex afterwards, typically, what would happen next?
MS. COMEY: And then afterwards?
MS. COMEY: Now, after you and Sean finished having intimate time together, what would you do before starting another round, either with the same entertainer or a different entertainer?
MS. COMEY: Would you put on the same outfit or a different outfit?
MS. COMEY: In a typical hotel night, about how many rounds of the kind of sex that you talked about yesterday with the entertainers and then with Sean would you go through?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: Grounds?
MS. GERAGOS: Same as yesterday's objection to the same question.
THE COURT: That's overruled.
JANE: I would say every entertainment -- tainer was different. Maybe sometimes it would be one round with one or it could be up to three with another.
MS. COMEY: Who decided how many rounds you would do in a single hotel night?
MS. COMEY: Who decided how many entertainers you would be with in a single hotel night?
MS. COMEY: Did you ever get tired during these nights?
MS. COMEY: Who decided whether you could stop when you were tired?
MS. COMEY: Are you okay to keep going, or do you need a break?
MS. COMEY: Yeah. Take your time. Take your time.
MS. COMEY: The question was when you got tired and wanted to stop, how, if at all, did you communicate to Sean that you wanted to stop?
JANE: I would just give like subtle cues that I was tired, just that I would say I was hungry or I would lay down or I would just kind of give him little faces.
MS. COMEY: What kinds of faces?
MS. COMEY: And when you gave these subtle cues, did Sean react the same way each time?
MS. COMEY: What was his reaction each time you gave him one of these subtle cues?
JANE: Just like he would say, like, you're not getting tired on me, are you. Let's finish strong. Or let's end on a high note.
MS. COMEY: Why didn't you just say you were done and you wanted to stop?
MS. COMEY: Jane, what would Sean give you, if anything, to keep you awake to keep having sex with the entertainers?
MS. COMEY: About how much ecstasy would you usually take in a single hotel night?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection. Time period.
THE COURT: That's fair.
MS. COMEY: In a typical hotel night between May of 2021 and October of 2023, one that followed the same pattern we talked about yesterday, typically, about how much ecstasy would you take in a single hotel night?
MS. COMEY: Typically, would you take multiple doses of ecstasy in a single hotel night?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: It's overruled.
MS. COMEY: Who gave you all of that ecstasy?
MS. COMEY: Jane, did you ever cry after one of these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: How many times can you remember crying after one of these hotel nights?
I'm sorry?
MS. COMEY: Are those the two times that stand out in your memory?
MS. COMEY: Would you tell us about the first you remember, please.
JANE: I just remember that there was a night that I thought we were going to have, like, just a date night, and it would be one on one. And he said that there would be an entertainer, but just for a little bit. And I hung onto those words of just a little bit, meaning that it could be just something quick and he said it would be just something quick.
And what was something quick ended up just being, like, like 18 hours of that. And I just remember it was like three rounds with this guy, and like at the very end, I just remember Sean, like, saying he had to leave. And I just, like, was so high and just feeling so lonely, and just, like, sad. I didn't want him to just, like, leave me like that feeling like that. And I just started crying. And I just was masking it and just saying that I was missing him, but really I just went through all of that and was feeling terrible that he was going to leave me alone. And I just remember that it was just a bad memory.
MS. COMEY: When you cried, were you alone or were you with someone else?
MS. COMEY: So did you cry in front of Sean?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember where this particular hotel night happened?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember about when this was?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember how Sean reacted when you started crying?
MS. COMEY: What ended up happening after that?
JANE: After that he just started playing music, started smoking, and just kind of had me sit next to him. And I just remember just like clinging onto him, like, like I just wanted to be right next to him. And he said he would move things around with his family and that I could come home with him. And I remember I just -- when I came home with him, I was just up under him, like I just really wanted to feel -- like help him after a night like that. And I just wanted to feel like -- be in his arms.
MS. COMEY: Jane, do you remember about when was the second time you cried after one of these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: About when was it?
MS. COMEY: And do you remember where it happened?
MS. COMEY: Okay. And do you remember whether you were alone or in front of someone when you cried the second time?
JANE: The second time I was in the shower with him after one of these nights, and I remember I was really blacking out this night that I -- I just remember going from --
MS. COMEY: Let me pause you.
So, Jane, is your memory of this particular night spotty?
MS. COMEY: Can you start at the beginning and tell us what you do remember from this night?
JANE: I just remember we were together at his house. And then next thing I know, I just remember being in a hotel and I remember his butler. And I was so high, and I, like, I just remember embracing his butler and just feeling really high, because it was just weird that I embraced his butler like that.
And, and then, and then I just remember I'm having sex with Paul. And then I remember being in the shower with Sean and I just start crying. And he's like don't do that right now, I'm fucking high, I can't see this, I'm too high, I cannot be crying like that. And then I just stopped crying.
MS. COMEY: You said you were having sex with Paul. Who's Paul?
MS. COMEY: Throughout that night when you were blacking out, what if any drugs had you taken?
MS. COMEY: Who had given you that ecstasy?
MS. COMEY: Jane, from your perspective, who did the most work during each of these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: Why were these hotel nights work for you?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: That needs to be rephrased.
MS. COMEY: Why do you say that you are the one who did the most work?
MS. COMEY: Jane, what if anything did you try to do during each of these hotel nights to try to get through them as quickly as you could?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: Sustained.
MS. COMEY: Jane, did you want each of these hotel nights to end?
MS. COMEY: Did you do anything to try to get them to end sooner?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: That's overruled.
MS. COMEY: What did you do to try to get these nights to end sooner?
MS. COMEY: Try to have sex with who?
MS. COMEY: And why would having sex with the entertainers as soon as you could make these nights end?
MS. COMEY: What did you do to try to get to having sex with the entertainers sooner?
MS. COMEY: How, if at all, did Sean react when you tried to bring the men into the room or do other things to speed this up?
MS. COMEY: How do you know he didn't like that?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember what words he would use?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection. Time period, Judge.
THE COURT: That's fair. Can we get a further specification.
MS. COMEY: So, Jane, focusing on the period between May of 2021 and October of 2023, during that period, as you sit here today, can you remember any specific words that Sean said to you in response to you trying to speed up these hotel nights?
JANE: Just like I'm not ready to see that yet. Or just like not yet. Just -- it was just like a pull back.
MS. COMEY: Jane, at the end of a typical hotel night between May of 2021 and October of 2023, how did you typically feel?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: That's overruled.
MS. GERAGOS: Your Honor, can we have a quick sidebar, please.
THE COURT: You may.
MS. GERAGOS: Thank you.
(Continued on next page)
(At sidebar)
MS. GERAGOS: I understand why Ms. Comey is doing this. I really do. But the witness just testified that every experience is different. And so when we generally ask her these questions about typically how she felt, I know we're going to get into each different hotel night, I just would ask that we can make this more specific because she did just testify that every experience is different.
MS. COMEY: Did she?
MS. GERAGOS: I wrote that down. We can find it in the transcript, those exact words. I do expect we're going to get into every single hotel night because they've marked those exhibits and admitted them. I think that this line of questioning is just -- it's getting to -- it is too general and prejudicial because we have to go into each separate incident, that's what's alleged here. That's my objection.
THE COURT: Well, there's maybe a form objection that you might want to ask the witness if there was a typical way that she felt.
MS. COMEY: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: At these events.
MS. COMEY: I can do that.
THE COURT: But if Ms. Comey did do that, then why would it be improper for her to ask what that typical feeling was, if you get my -- the gist of what I'm saying.
MS. GERAGOS: Ms. Comey has been asking what the typical, and when she does that, and cabins it to this time period, I really haven't been objecting. But I think it's now been multiple hours of that, the typical feelings. And I really would just ask that we get into specifics given the witness has just testified about every experience being different.
THE COURT: Understood.
MS. GERAGOS: That's what I'm getting at.
THE COURT: Understood. Is there going to be a lot more on this particular point?
MS. COMEY: No, your Honor. But I would want to check the transcript, but I thought yesterday and today she said there was a typical pattern and there was a typical routine.
THE COURT: I think there was a typical pattern, but I think there was some testimony this morning that the things he would say, for instance, would be different each time. And so I think that that's why I'm saying that if you ask the predicate question, I think you may be able to ask these questions.
MS. COMEY: I see. Thank you, your Honor. I understand.
MR. AGNIFILO: I think in addition to saying that he said different things every day, I think Ms. -- and maybe Ms. Comey was surprised by the answer, because I think Ms. Comey asked something about a typical experience and I think the witness said each one was different.
THE COURT: Well, Ms. Comey can clarify to -- I mean, you're in your examination so you can clarify those types of things.
MS. COMEY: I am. Your Honor, I think she said how many rounds was different each time. But anyway --
THE COURT: Here's just a general thing that might help us.
MS. COMEY: Yes.
THE COURT: On some of these objections. The defense is not really objecting where there is anything that would approach a leading question or where there is some assumption of facts that may not be in evidence. But I think that when we're talking about these particular hotel nights, it is important to be very careful about those types of things. And I think if you do that, then you're not going to draw any objection from the defense.
MS. COMEY: Understood, your Honor.
THE COURT: That's the general guidance.
MS. COMEY: Understood.
THE COURT: All right.
(Continued on next page)
(In open court; jury present)
THE COURT: Ms. Comey, you may proceed.
MS. COMEY: Thank you, your Honor.
BY MS. COMEY:
MS. COMEY: Jane, in your experience, did you feel typically the same way after one of these nights or did you feel different each time?
MS. COMEY: Could you tell us how you would typically feel?
JANE: With Sean, I would feel really happy to end my night with Sean. But I would really fight to block out just like how sad I felt after.
MS. COMEY: And did you and Sean typically do the same thing after one of these hotel nights was over, or did you do different things?
MS. COMEY: And, typically, would you end up going to the same place?
MS. COMEY: Is that where you would typically go after one of these nights?
MS. COMEY: And could you tell us typically what you would do when you went to his residence after one of these nights?
JANE: I would make sure he was just -- I would just make sure that he was, like, showered and just clean. And I would cook for him. I would massage him. I would put on his favorite show. And then I would finally get to cuddle with him and sleep with him.
MS. COMEY: When you say him, are you talking about Sean?
MS. COMEY: Jane, I want to keep focusing on the period between May 2021 and October 2023.
During that period, were there any parts of these hotel nights that you enjoyed?
MS. COMEY: Were there any points in these hotel nights that you enjoyed?
MS. COMEY: When would you get to be with Sean during a typical hotel night during that same period?
MS. COMEY: Throughout your relationship with Sean between May of 2021 and October of 2023, would you sometimes text Sean after these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: And would you typically text him the same kind of thing or different kinds of things after one of these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: And in between these texts -- these nights, these hotel nights, about how often would you text with Sean?
MS. COMEY: And what, if any, sexually explicit texts would you send to Sean in between hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: Why did you send Sean sexually explicit text messages in between hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: And focusing on what you just said, how you were feeling, when you sent those sexually explicit text messages that you're talking about, who were you indicating you wanted to have sex with?
MS. COMEY: Did you ever send Sean text messages suggesting you wanted to have sex with someone else?
MS. COMEY: About how many times?
MS. COMEY: Why?
MS. COMEY: Whose fantasy?
MS. COMEY: What if any conversations do you remember having with Sean about him wanting you to text him about that fantasy?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection. Time period, please.
THE COURT: That's sustained.
MS. COMEY: Jane, between May of 2021 and October of 2023, did you have any conversations with Sean about what he would like you to text to him?
MS. COMEY: About how many of these conversations do you remember?
MS. COMEY: Were they all essentially the same?
MS. COMEY: Can you tell us about them, please.
JANE: Just like, like, me saying that I wanted -- that I wanted -- like, that I wanted a guy and just to kind of play up on that.
MS. COMEY: Sorry. In this conversation, were you telling Sean you wanted a guy?
MS. COMEY: And why were you telling him you wanted a guy?
JANE: Because I knew that would turn him on. And he was saying, like, be explicit. Tell me what -- what are you going to do, like what do you want, something like that.
MS. COMEY: Who was saying be explicit?
MS. COMEY: And when Sean told you be explicit, what did you understand he was telling you to do?
MS. COMEY: When you sent these text messages, did you want to be having sex with other men?
MS. COMEY: Then why did you say you did in these messages?
MS. COMEY: Ms. Gavin, can we please pull up what's in evidence as Government Exhibit A-104-4 and jump to page 12, please.
And could we zoom in on the top left message.
MS. COMEY: Jane, who sent this message?
MS. COMEY: Who did you send it to?
MS. COMEY: What's the date?
MS. COMEY: And what did you write to Sean on that day?
MS. COMEY: Why did you send him that?
MS. COMEY: Who did you want to have sex with?
MS. COMEY: Can we look at the next two messages, please.
MS. COMEY: How did Sean respond?
MS. COMEY: What did you understand Sean was telling you when he wrote be explicit?
MS. COMEY: What kind of fantasy talk?
MS. COMEY: Ms. Gavin, can we please pull up pages 13 and 14 side by side. And can we zoom in on the left two middle.
MS. COMEY: Now, Jane, you don't need to read this out loud, but did you write to Sean: I want to suck Paul's dick while you give me that strong stroke game?
MS. COMEY: Why did you write that?
MS. COMEY: Did you actually want to do this?
MS. COMEY: We can take this down. Thank you.
And now can we please go to the top two texts on the right.
MS. COMEY: Jane, I'm not going to make you read this. I'll read it. Did you write to Sean: Like that's the only and last dick I'm supposed to have. Stroking a hard dick next to me while a hard one is inside me.
MS. COMEY: Why did you write that?
MS. COMEY: Did you actually want that?
MS. COMEY: We can take this exhibit down. Thank you.
MS. COMEY: Now, you referenced Paul in that text. Who is Paul?
MS. COMEY: Is that the same Paul you talked about earlier in the instance when you ended up crying?
MS. COMEY: Now, later on in your relationship, Jane, did you send Sean texts telling him you wanted to stop having these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: Did you send him those texts once or more than once?
MS. COMEY: And later on in your relationship from 2021 did you also tell Sean in person that you wanted to stop having these hotel nights?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection. Time period, please.
MS. COMEY: I'm happy to rephrase, your Honor.
THE COURT: All right.
MS. COMEY: Jane, the texts we just looked at were in November of 2021, how early was that in your relationship?
MS. COMEY: And, at that point, how were you feeling about these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: And how did you feel realizing that this was becoming the dynamic of what you and Sean were?
JANE: Just confused by it. Just getting scared by how often it started to become. I was uncomfortable with it.
MS. COMEY: Now, later on in your relationship in 2023, did you have in-person conversations with Sean in which you told him you wanted to stop having these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: Once or more than once?
MS. COMEY: I'd like to pull up what's in evidence as Government Exhibit A-104-59. And if we could please jump to page nine.
Can we please zoom in on the middle text.
MS. COMEY: Jane, what's the date of this text?
MS. COMEY: So is this a little less than two years after the texts we were just looking at where you were talking fantasy talk?
MS. COMEY: Who sent this text message?
MS. COMEY: Would you read it for us, please?
JANE: I wish we -- I said: I wish we could jog this back to when we first started dating and just getting to know each other. Ever since I opened Pandora's box I've never been able to close it. One night of fun turned into the entirety of our relationship. And now it's all I'm expected to do and get called for. It's hurting me because I'm so much more than being loved in the dark in hotel rooms, doing things that make me feel disgusted with myself. I'm confusing your lust for me as real love. My heart is really in this and it's breaking. I don't want you to play this role -- I don't want to play this role in your life anymore. It's dark, sleazy, and makes me feel disgusted with myself. I feel it's the only reason you have me around and why you pay for the house. I don't want to feel obligated to perform these nights with you in fear of losing the roof over my head. I don't want to keep feeling like that anymore. I'm crying as I type this. We just need to talk like adults and figure out where we'll go from here.
MS. COMEY: Jane, I want to ask you a few questions about this message.
First, when you referenced "why you pay for the house," at this point, where were you living, without saying the address?
MS. COMEY: The new place where Sean was paying the rent?
MS. COMEY: And for about how long had Sean been paying your rent as of September of 2023?
MS. COMEY: And when you wrote "I feel it's the only reason you have me around and why you pay for the house," what were you referring to?
MS. COMEY: And when you wrote "I don't want to feel obligated to perform these nights with you," what were you referring to?
MS. COMEY: And -- I am sorry, Jane. Were you going to say something else?
JANE: Just meaning that I -- I started to feel obligated here that I had to perform, and just feeling obligated to him at this point.
MS. COMEY: At this point in time, what were you afraid would happen if you refused to perform in these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: That who would take what away?
MS. COMEY: Can we zoom back out, please.
MS. COMEY: How did Sean respond to your text?
MS. COMEY: And we'll talk about that and other messages more later. But first, I want to take a step back.
MS. COMEY: Can we take this down, please.
MS. COMEY: What is the longest hotel night you can remember?
MS. COMEY: New Years which year?
MS. COMEY: How long did the hotel night in New Years 2022 last, approximately?
MS. COMEY: Did you sleep during that time?
MS. COMEY: And between May of 2021 and October of 2023, what's the shortest hotel night you can remember?
MS. COMEY: And, on average, between May of 2021 and October 2023, on average, how long did these hotel nights last?
MS. COMEY: Did you ever get to sleep during a hotel night?
MS. COMEY: How did you stay awake for that long?
JANE: I would take ecstasy. I would drink caffeine. I would just try to drink water. I would try to order myself smoothies or protein shakes.
MS. COMEY: During these hotel nights, again, focusing on the period between May of 2021 and October of 2023, do you remember seeing drugs in the hotel rooms?
MS. COMEY: Did you see the drugs in every hotel room or just some of the hotel rooms?
MS. COMEY: What drugs do you remember seeing in these hotel rooms?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: It's overruled.
MS. COMEY: You can answer.
JANE: I would see ecstasy; Molly; cocaine; pink powder, which I believe is called Tusi; and I would see weed.
MS. COMEY: You mentioned Tusi, where did you hear the term Tusi from?
MS. COMEY: Did you ever try Tusi?
MS. COMEY: What do you remember about trying it?
MS. COMEY: Why not?
JANE: Because it was like a hallucinogen -- like I felt weird. Like the floors were shaky and I felt weird.
MS. COMEY: Of the drugs you've just described, how many of those did you personally use?
MS. COMEY: Did you try the others?
MS. COMEY: Who gave you all of those drugs?
MS. COMEY: Have you ever seen Sean use drugs?
MS. COMEY: In what context?
MS. COMEY: Did you see him use drugs in every room or just some of these rooms?
MS. COMEY: What drugs did you see Sean use?
MS. COMEY: Did you ever see the entertainers in these rooms use drugs?
MS. COMEY: Do you know why the entertainers did not use drugs in front of you?
MS. COMEY: What do you mean it was one of your rules?
MS. COMEY: When you say nobody take any drugs, you've just described yourself and Sean taking drugs, so can you explain what you mean?
MS. COMEY: Why did you tell them that?
JANE: Because I didn't know how they would be on a drug and then be on my body and be out of control. I didn't want them to be out of control when they were with me.
MS. COMEY: You said ecstasy was the drug you used most often; do I have that right?
MS. COMEY: How did the ecstasy you took make you feel in these hotel rooms?
JANE: I would feel just a surge of like sexual energy. I would feel completely, like, euphoric and really turned on and had a lot of really positive energy, really optimistic, and just happy.
MS. COMEY: Between May of 2021 and October of 2023, how did you feel about using all of these drugs?
MS. COMEY: Why did you feel like you had to take them?
JANE: Because when I wouldn't, it would just feel too real. Like the atmosphere. And I didn't want to feel like it was too real. I just wanted to kind of just -- I don't know. Just feel like it would just was -- I don't know. It just made things easier.
MS. COMEY: Jane, did you ever try to do one of these hotel nights without using drugs?
MS. COMEY: How many times?
MS. COMEY: I want to talk about those times. Okay?
MS. COMEY: About when was the first time?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember about what year it was?
MS. COMEY: And why did you try not to use drugs on that particular night?
MS. COMEY: What do you remember from that first time you tried to do one of these nights without drugs?
JANE: I just remember I didn't like it. I just felt -- I just didn't -- the fantasy of it all wasn't there. It just wasn't easy. It just was too real that this was happening.
MS. COMEY: So what ended up happening?
MS. COMEY: Who did you ask for a pill?
MS. COMEY: What did he do in response?
MS. COMEY: And then did you take it?
MS. COMEY: How did you feel after you took it?
MS. COMEY: And what happened after that?
MS. COMEY: About when was the second time you did one of these nights without drugs?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember about what month in 2023?
MS. COMEY: Why did you do one of these nights without drugs in October of 2023?
JANE: Around this time I just really wanted my partner to get sober. I just really cared so much about Sean's health, and I could see that he just, like, was excessively partying on top of just so many pills that he takes daily for I don't know what. And I just really wanted him to get clean and just get better.
And he said, okay, I'm going to do like 30 days without anything, and I'll be sober. But let's just have, like, one more, one more sobriety party. Just one, like, sobriety party.
MS. COMEY: Where was this sobriety party?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember which hotel?
MS. COMEY: In what city?
MS. COMEY: What drugs did you use that night at the L’Ermitage?
MS. COMEY: What drugs did you see Sean use, if any?
MS. COMEY: About how long did that sobriety party last?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember how long?
MS. COMEY: What do you remember happening at the sobriety party? Could you walk us through it, please.
JANE: I just remember that it was like this typical routine, except I didn't take anything, and I was in an outfit, and I was with Sean, and the room was decorated, and, and I was just getting ready, and I remember it was, like, the first guy. Then a second guy. And then after the second guy, I just -- I went to the bathroom and I just was not feeling well.
MS. COMEY: What happened when you went to the bathroom after having two entertainers in this night?
MS. COMEY: What happened after you threw up?
JANE: Sean came in. And I told him that I had just thrown up. And he was like that's good then, you'll feel better now that you've thrown up. So let's go, like, let's go because the guy is here, the third guy.
MS. COMEY: What happened next?
MS. COMEY: How did it feel to do that sobriety party without drugs?
MS. COMEY: How did that experience compare to all of the other hotel nights you did while using drugs?
JANE: It was just -- I was just -- I was just disgusted. I was just repulsed. I was just so mad at myself for doing that. I just deeply regretted that.
MS. COMEY: Jane, during the sobriety party, did you have sex with the first two entertainers in front of Sean before you threw up?
MS. COMEY: And then did you have sex with a third entertainer after you threw up?
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, this might be a good time for a brief break if that's all right.
THE COURT: All right. Let's take a break. We'll come back in 15 minutes.
Thank you, members of the jury. All rise.
(Continued on next page)
(In open court; jury not present)
THE COURT: Jane, we'll come get you in about 15 minutes.
(Witness not present)
THE COURT: Please be seated.
Ms. Comey, anything to address before we take our break?
MS. COMEY: No. Thank you, your Honor.
THE COURT: Anything from the defense?
MR. AGNIFILO: No. Thank you, Judge.
THE COURT: Okay. We'll come back in 15 minutes.
(Recess)
THE COURT: Everyone may be seated.
Let's bring Jane back.
(Jury present)
THE COURT: Please be seated.
Ms. Comey, you may proceed when ready.
MS. COMEY: Thank you, your Honor.
MS. COMEY: Jane, during any hotel nights you did with Sean, did Sean ever run out of drugs?
MS. COMEY: About how many times do you remember Sean running out of drugs during one of these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: Each time he ran out, did you see the same thing happen or a different thing happen -- each time?
MS. COMEY: OK.
MS. COMEY: Let's talk about the first time this happened. The first time that Sean ran out of drugs during one of these hotel nights, do you remember about when that was?
MS. COMEY: What do you remember happening when Sean ran out of drugs?
MS. COMEY: So let's break that down.
Who did you see Sean call?
MS. COMEY: And when you say it varied, do you mean across different hotel nights over the course of your relationship?
MS. COMEY: And let's start with the assistants. What are the names of some of the assistants you remember Sean calling when he ran out of drugs during hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: OK. Are the others not coming to mind right now?
MS. COMEY: But were there others?
MS. COMEY: I'd like to show you what's been marked for identification as Government Exhibit 2A-313.
Ms. Gavin, would you please show that to the witness.
MS. COMEY: Do you recognize that?
MS. COMEY: What is it?
MS. COMEY: Which Brendan?
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, the government offers this in evidence.
MS. GERAGOS: No objection.
THE COURT: All right. 2A-313 will be admitted.
(Government Exhibit 2A-313 received in evidence)
BY MS. COMEY:
MS. COMEY: About how many times do you remember Sean calling Brendan when he ran out of drugs in these hotel rooms?
MS. COMEY: Multiple times?
MS. COMEY: And after each time Sean called Brendan, what did you see happen in the hotel room a short time later?
MS. COMEY: Did Brendan come to the hotel room door?
MS. COMEY: And then what did you see Brendan had?
MS. COMEY: And what drugs do you remember Brendan bringing to the hotel room?
MS. COMEY: I don't want you to guess. So there would be pill bottles, and then after the pill bottles, what would you see in the hotel room?
MS. COMEY: What kinds of drugs?
MS. COMEY: You can take that down. Thank you, Ms. Gavin.
MS. COMEY: And then you mentioned security. Who from security do you remember Sean calling when he ran out of drugs in these hotel rooms?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection. Time period, Judge.
THE COURT: Some more specificity on the time frame.
MS. COMEY: Certainly.
MS. COMEY: Jane, you mentioned security. When approximately do you remember Sean calling security when he ran out of drugs?
MS. COMEY: Was that around 2023, approximately?
MS. COMEY: And who from security do you remember Sean calling around that time when he ran out of drugs in hotel rooms?
MS. COMEY: Do you know who Faheem is?
MS. COMEY: Ms. Gavin, would you please pull up what's been marked for identification as Government Exhibit 2A-203.
Is this already in, Ms. Gavin?
This is already in evidence, so we can show that to the jury.
MS. COMEY: Do you recognize the person in that photograph?
MS. COMEY: Who is that?
MS. COMEY: Did you ever hear Sean call him any other names?
MS. COMEY: Fah, like F-A-H?
MS. COMEY: About how many times do you remember Sean calling Faheem in 2023 when he ran out of drugs in hotel rooms?
MS. COMEY: And after each time you saw Sean call Faheem, what happened a short time later in the hotel rooms?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: That's overruled.
MS. COMEY: Well, who did you see come to the hotel?
MS. COMEY: And after one of those people came to the hotel room, what, if anything, would you see Sean had?
MS. COMEY: What kind of drugs?
MS. COMEY: Other than his own --
MS. COMEY: We can take that down, Ms. Gavin. Thank you.
MS. COMEY: Other than his assistants and security, who else, if anyone, did you hear Sean call for drugs during hotel nights during your relationship?
MS. COMEY: About how many times did you hear Sean call a man named Guido?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember approximately when the first time was?
MS. COMEY: So are we talking around 2023-ish?
MS. COMEY: What do you remember about that first time?
JANE: I just remember we were running out and then he calls Guido and then Guido comes to the hotel.
MS. COMEY: Let me break that down. You said we were running out. Who was running out of what?
MS. COMEY: And how do you know if he called Guido?
MS. COMEY: Was he saying the name Guido?
MS. COMEY: And then who came to the hotel, if anyone, a short time later?
MS. COMEY: What did Guido look like?
MS. COMEY: What do you remember about what happened when Guido came to the hotel room?
MS. COMEY: About how many times do you remember Guido bringing drugs for Sean to these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: And what drugs do you remember Guido bringing?
MS. COMEY: Would you ever take Xanax in connection with one of these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: Why?
JANE: Because I just wanted to fall right to sleep, and it was really hard to go to sleep after you've been taking so many drugs, so you need something really heavy to knock you out.
MS. COMEY: So at what point in one of these hotel nights would you typically take Xanax?
MS. COMEY: Did you ever carry drugs for Sean?
MS. COMEY: How many times?
MS. COMEY: About when was the first time?
MS. COMEY: And where were you bringing the drugs from?
MS. COMEY: Where were you bringing them to?
MS. COMEY: How did it come to be that you were bringing drugs from Los Angeles to Miami for Sean?
MS. COMEY: Who said that?
MS. COMEY: And what did -- what did he ask you to pick up?
MS. COMEY: And what other instructions, if any, did he give you?
MS. COMEY: What Beverly Hills residence?
MS. COMEY: Sean's residence?
MS. COMEY: Did you talk to anyone else about picking up this package?
MS. COMEY: Who did you talk to?
MS. COMEY: Remind us who KK is.
MS. COMEY: How did you communicate with KK about this package?
MS. COMEY: I'm sorry. I was unclear.
Were your communications over the phone or in person?
MS. COMEY: And what do you remember discussing with KK over the phone?
JANE: I believe she was saying, like, hey, just come and I'll have security come out and give it to you.
MS. COMEY: How did you respond?
MS. COMEY: Did you ask KK anything, or no?
MS. COMEY: What did you ask KK?
MS. COMEY: How did KK respond when you asked if this was safe and OK?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: Overruled.
MS. COMEY: What did you understand KK was telling you when she said it's fine, I do it all the time?
MS. COMEY: If you did what?
MS. COMEY: Why were you concerned about putting this package in your luggage?
MS. COMEY: What did you do after that conversation with KK?
MS. COMEY: Who did you get the package from?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember who in security?
MS. COMEY: After you -- what kind of package was it? What did it look like?
MS. COMEY: And what did you do with that package?
MS. COMEY: And then what did you do with your luggage?
MS. COMEY: At the airport?
MS. COMEY: And then where did you go?
MS. COMEY: And what did you do with the package in Miami?
MS. COMEY: Where did you give it to Sean?
MS. COMEY: In his bathroom where?
MS. COMEY: Inside Two Star?
MS. COMEY: What did you see Sean do when you gave him the package?
MS. COMEY: And before he opened it, did you see any drugs around his bathroom or bedroom?
MS. COMEY: After Sean opened the package, what, if anything, new did you see in his bedroom or bathroom?
MS. COMEY: Did you see what was inside those pill bottles?
MS. COMEY: What was inside of those pill bottles?
MS. COMEY: I don't want you to assume. Did you later take some of those pills?
MS. COMEY: In what context?
MS. COMEY: For what?
MS. COMEY: And when you took those pills, what did you find out they were?
MS. COMEY: About how long after this first package did you bring a second package for Sean?
MS. COMEY: Where did you bring the package from?
MS. COMEY: Where did you bring it to?
MS. COMEY: How did it come to be that you brought this package from Los Angeles to Miami?
MS. COMEY: Why did you go there?
MS. COMEY: In this instance did you talk with KK again, or no?
MS. COMEY: What do you remember about your conversation with KK?
JANE: Just that -- she just told me that, to call her when -- when I was outside and that she'd have security come out and give it to me.
MS. COMEY: Give what to you?
MS. COMEY: And then what happened?
MS. COMEY: Can you take that down, Ms. Gavin, please.
MS. COMEY: What was in your luggage?
MS. COMEY: And then what did you do with the drugs when you got to Miami?
MS. COMEY: Who used them?
MS. COMEY: Who did you give them to when you got to Miami?
MS. COMEY: And what kind of drugs were in that package?
MS. COMEY: I want to talk now about the entertainers who were involved in these hotel nights. OK?
At first, around, between May and October of 2021, during that period, who would reach out to the entertainers to schedule hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: At some point did that change?
MS. COMEY: Around when did that change?
MS. COMEY: Are you estimating?
MS. COMEY: Now, around that time, who started reaching out to entertainers to schedule hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: Did you ever reach out to entertainers to schedule hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: About when did you start doing that?
MS. COMEY: So 2021, 2022 time?
MS. COMEY: Why did you start scheduling entertainers around then?
JANE: At this point I just assessed the dynamic of my relationship and I didn't like being surprised with whoever, a new stranger, and while we were watching pornography, I started to -- we started to watch a specific entertainer and I had the idea that I would choose that person.
MS. COMEY: I want to break that down a little bit.
Up until that point in your relationship with Sean, were all of the men in hotel nights strangers to you before Sean brought them to you?
MS. COMEY: And how did you feel about the fact that all of the men were strangers to you?
MS. COMEY: So what did you do to try to address that?
JANE: I didn't really. I just -- I just said to myself if, if we're going to be doing this, I should just choose, like, I should choose who's going to be on my body.
MS. COMEY: Now, to be clear, did you want to have sex with any men other than Sean?
MS. COMEY: Then why did you want to choose a particular man in this context?
JANE: Because I felt like I couldn't get away from this dynamic that was happening, and if I had to make it better for myself, then at least I could feel like I chose somebody that I wanted for me on these nights.
MS. COMEY: So about when did you choose for yourself -- did you first choose for yourself what man would be with you in a hotel night?
MS. COMEY: Are you estimating?
MS. COMEY: Who was the first man that you chose for yourself?
MS. COMEY: Do you know Kabrale's last name?
MS. COMEY: What was it?
MS. COMEY: Ms. Gavin, would you please pull up what's been marked for identification as Government Exhibit 2A-635.
MS. COMEY: Do you recognize the person in that photograph?
MS. COMEY: Who is that?
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, the government offers this in evidence.
MS. GERAGOS: No objection.
THE COURT: 2A-635 will be admitted.
(Government Exhibit 2A-635 received in evidence)
MS. COMEY: Ms. Gavin, would you please publish that to the jury.
MS. COMEY: Jane, did you call Kabrale any nicknames?
MS. COMEY: What nicknames did you call him?
MS. COMEY: Why did you call him Chef?
JANE: Because after I got to know him a little bit better, I realized that he had a passion for cooking and that on the side he was a private chef. So I called him Chef.
MS. COMEY: And you said that this idea came up when you were watching porn. Did I hear that right?
MS. COMEY: Whose porn were you watching?
MS. COMEY: What, if any, stage name does Kabrale use when performing in pornography?
MS. COMEY: Sly, S-L-Y?
MS. COMEY: We can take that down. Thank you, Ms. Gavin.
MS. COMEY: Who were you with when you were watching Kabrale's pornography and came up with the idea to invite him to a hotel night?
MS. COMEY: What were you and Sean doing?
MS. COMEY: What, if any, drugs had you taken?
MS. COMEY: And what do you remember happening on that occasion?
JANE: I remember that we had watched a few of his videos back to back, and then we started talking about this, Kabrale and his size and everything. And Sean was kind of like encouraging and flirtatious about it. And I was like, I can probably message him and see what happens.
MS. COMEY: Let me ask you some follow-up questions.
You said that you and Sean were talking about Kabrale's size. What were you referring to?
MS. COMEY: And you said that Sean was being encouraging and flirtatious. What do you mean by that?
JANE: He was, like, saying, like, do you want that dick? Do you want that? You think you can get that? I don't think you can get that. Or do you want that? It was like this, kind of like encouraging kind of banter. Or do you want to feel that?
MS. COMEY: What did you do after that conversation?
MS. COMEY: You sent who a message?
MS. COMEY: Over what?
MS. COMEY: And did he respond?
MS. COMEY: How did you communicate after that?
MS. COMEY: And what did you discuss over text message?
JANE: We just made small talk. I told him I was a fan of his work and that if he'd be interested to meet me, that maybe we should meet up one day.
MS. COMEY: At some point after you made contact with Kabrale, did you have a FaceTime video call with him?
MS. COMEY: Who were you with when you had a FaceTime video call with Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember about when this was?
MS. COMEY: And why did you FaceTime Kabrale when you were with Sean?
MS. COMEY: And when you FaceTimed with Kabrale, what happened on the FaceTime?
JANE: Things got really, like, hot and steamy, and I just started to talk to him about sex and I was just, like, asking him to, like, show me himself.
MS. COMEY: So did he show you his genitals?
MS. COMEY: And did you show your body as well?
MS. COMEY: Why did you do that?
MS. COMEY: Where was Sean during this FaceTime call?
MS. COMEY: How was he watching?
MS. COMEY: So was the FaceTime screen from your phone mirrored up onto Sean's television?
MS. COMEY: After that FaceTime, did you meet Kabrale in person?
MS. COMEY: How did you meet him in person?
MS. COMEY: Where did Kabrale tell you he was coming from?
MS. COMEY: And where were you bringing him to?
MS. COMEY: What, if any, conversations did you have with Sean about how you would get Kabrale from Atlanta to Los Angeles?
JANE: I told him that I would set it up; I would arrange for his travel and his flight to come meet us in Los Angeles.
MS. COMEY: And so what did you do after telling Sean that?
MS. COMEY: And how did you pay for that?
MS. COMEY: Did you get reimbursed for that, or no?
MS. COMEY: Who reimbursed you for it?
MS. COMEY: What happened the first time you met Kabrale in person after flying him to Los Angeles from Atlanta?
JANE: I remember when I first met Kabrale, he was just really sweet and we had just, like, little butterflies. Just, it was the first time that I did something like that and meeting him in person and he was, he was cute and he was, like, just as nervous as me and really sweet and just, like, cute and nervous.
MS. COMEY: What did you mean when you said it was the first time you did something like that?
MS. COMEY: What did you and Kabrale and Sean end up doing that first time you met in person in Los Angeles?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
MS. COMEY: I can rephrase, your Honor.
THE COURT: All right.
BY MS. COMEY:
MS. COMEY: What happened that first time that you met Kabrale in Los Angeles?
JANE: I remember we were making small talk and -- but before he arrived, I remember I was clear to him that it was me and my partner so he wouldn't be surprised or anything.
MS. COMEY: So you had told Kabrale before he came to Los Angeles that your partner would be there as well?
MS. COMEY: And how had he responded to that?
MS. COMEY: When Kabrale arrived -- what hotel was this at?
MS. COMEY: And what do you remember happening after Kabrale arrived?
JANE: I remember we were just making small talk, and he was really happy and for the most part it was -- it was doing kind of the same routine.
MS. COMEY: And when you say the same routine, what do you mean?
JANE: I mean where I would be in an outfit and then the orals would come out, and I would dance and begin to do foreplay on Kabrale, which eventually led to sex.
MS. COMEY: Where was Sean throughout that whole routine?
MS. COMEY: And what was he doing?
MS. COMEY: And what, if anything, do you remember him saying?
MS. COMEY: After that first meeting with Kabrale, about how often did you see Kabrale for hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: And each time you saw Kabrale, who invited him to the hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: And did you -- well, let me back up.
Why did you invite Kabrale to these hotel nights?
JANE: Because I knew my partner would want an entertainer for the night, or if I knew that was kind of where our night was going, I would often suggest Kabrale.
MS. COMEY: Why would you suggest Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: To be clear, each time you suggested Kabrale, did you want to have sex with Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: Then why did you suggest him?
MS. COMEY: In what cities do you remember having hotel nights with Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: How many times do you remember having a hotel night with Kabrale in New York?
MS. COMEY: Where in New York did you have that hotel night?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember what hotel?
MS. COMEY: And do you remember, is that in New York City?
MS. COMEY: Is that the Trump Hotel in Manhattan?
MS. COMEY: Each time you met with Kabrale for a hotel night, from where was Kabrale traveling?
MS. COMEY: Do you know how Kabrale got from Atlanta to each of those cities?
MS. COMEY: Do you know who paid for his plane ticket?
MS. COMEY: Who is Jess?
MS. COMEY: Whose travel agent?
MS. COMEY: Sorry?
MS. COMEY: When you booked Kabrale's flights, were you reimbursed, or no?
MS. COMEY: Who reimbursed you?
MS. COMEY: Other than Chef and Sly, did you and Sean refer to Kabrale by any other nicknames when you talked about him?
MS. COMEY: At the end of each hotel night with Kabrale, what, if anything, did you give to Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: How much money?
MS. COMEY: What's the lowest amount you remember?
MS. COMEY: And what's the most amount you remember?
MS. COMEY: And was that all in cash?
MS. COMEY: OK. Let's focus on the cash.
When you gave Kabrale cash at the end of a hotel night, where did the cash come from?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection. Time period.
MS. COMEY: I can rephrase, your Honor.
THE COURT: All right.
BY MS. COMEY:
MS. COMEY: How many times did you hand cash to Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: OK. And each of those times, did the cash come from the same place?
MS. COMEY: Where did the cash come from each of those times?
MS. COMEY: What do you mean when you say from the drawer, from Sean?
MS. COMEY: What money?
MS. COMEY: Whose cash?
MS. COMEY: And then you mentioned CashApp. About how many times do you remember paying Kabrale over CashApp?
MS. COMEY: And why did you end up doing that?
MS. COMEY: When you sent Kabrale cash over CashApp, were you reimbursed for that, or no?
MS. COMEY: Who reimbursed you?
MS. COMEY: And you mentioned that Kabrale was the first adult entertainment performer you reached out to, is that right?
MS. COMEY: How many more did you reach out to?
MS. COMEY: When did you reach out to that one other person, approximately?
MS. COMEY: And was that before or after you'd met Kabrale in person?
MS. COMEY: What was the name of the second adult entertainer that you reached out to yourself?
MS. COMEY: Ms. Gavin, would you please pull up what's been marked for identification as Government Exhibit 2A-608.
MS. COMEY: Do you recognize the person in that photograph?
MS. COMEY: Who is that?
MS. COMEY: Would you please publish that, Ms. Gavin.
MS. COMEY: Jane, do you know Antoine by any other names?
MS. GERAGOS: No objection.
MS. COMEY: Oh, I'm so sorry.
THE COURT: Is that not in evidence?
MS. COMEY: Oh, I'm sorry. I should have offered it.
THE COURT: 2A-608 will be admitted.
(Government Exhibit 2A-608 received in evidence.
BY MS. COMEY:
MS. COMEY: Did you know Antoine by any other names?
MS. COMEY: Do you know if that was his real name or his stage name?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember his real name?
MS. COMEY: We can take that down. Thank you.
MS. COMEY: How did it come about that you contacted Antoine?
JANE: I contacted Antoine one night when me and Sean were watching pornography, and we kept repeating this specific video from Antoine and watching a lot of his other films. And kind of the same thing happened, where I was like, I was into seeing Antoine. And Sean was kind of encouraging it and being positive and I was, like, I'm just going to message him. And so I did, over Instagram.
MS. COMEY: Had you taken drugs at that point?
MS. COMEY: What drugs?
MS. COMEY: How did you contact Antoine?
MS. COMEY: And then what happened from there?
JANE: Then we exchanged numbers fairly quickly, and we got in touch over the phone pretty quickly.
MS. COMEY: And when you got in touch over the phone, what do you remember happening?
MS. COMEY: Where were you and Sean at that point?
MS. COMEY: And where did Antoine tell you he was?
MS. COMEY: And what happened after that?
MS. COMEY: What, if anything, did you tell Antoine about what you were inviting him over for?
JANE: I said that I would like to meet him and I was with my partner and if he would like to come over and hang, just come over.
MS. COMEY: How did Antoine respond?
MS. COMEY: Where did Antoine meet you that first time?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember where you were?
MS. COMEY: Where were you?
MS. COMEY: In your apartment?
MS. COMEY: The apartment we talked about yesterday?
MS. COMEY: And what happened that first time that Antoine came over?
JANE: I remember when I first met Antoine, he was really nice, really sweet, like, again, with, like, really cute, like, nervous energy and a lot of giggles, and I thought he was just so cute and bubbly.
MS. COMEY: Did you want to have sex with him?
MS. COMEY: Then why were you cute and bubbly with him? Why did you invite him?
MS. COMEY: If you already had contacted Kabrale, why did you contact Antoine?
MS. COMEY: And where was Antoine?
MS. COMEY: And where were you living at the time?
MS. COMEY: And if you didn't want to have sex with Antoine, why did you invite him over?
MS. COMEY: That night did you have sex with Antoine?
MS. COMEY: Did you follow the same pattern that we've already talked about?
MS. COMEY: And what did Sean do throughout?
MS. COMEY: At the end of that first sexual encounter with Antoine, what, if anything, did you give to Antoine?
MS. COMEY: Did you later meet up with Antoine?
MS. COMEY: How many times?
MS. COMEY: In what city or cities did you meet up with Antoine?
MS. COMEY: What happened -- and where did you meet him in Los Angeles?
MS. COMEY: Did you also meet him at your apartment sometimes?
MS. COMEY: Each time you met Antoine, what happened?
MS. COMEY: And who else would be in the room when you and Antoine had sex?
MS. COMEY: At the end of the rest of those nights when you met with Antoine, what, if anything, did you give to Antoine?
MS. COMEY: What kind of money? Cash or otherwise?
MS. COMEY: Where did the cash come from?
MS. COMEY: Now, after you met Kabrale and Antoine, did you ever FaceTime with them?
MS. COMEY: About how often did you FaceTime with Kabrale or Antoine?
MS. COMEY: Whenever you and Sean would be having, 0reak that down. Is that when you and Sean would be alone?
MS. COMEY: And why would you FaceTime with Kabrale and Antoine when you were alone with Sean?
MS. COMEY: How did you know that?
MS. COMEY: And then when you FaceTimed Kabrale and Antoine, what happened on the FaceTimes?
JANE: On the FaceTimes, I would start flirting with either Antoine or Kabrale, and then like a sexting-style FaceTime would happen and would be this whole sex FaceTime.
MS. COMEY: What was Sean doing during each of these FaceTimes?
MS. COMEY: How was Sean able to watch these FaceTimes?
MS. COMEY: Is that the same way you described Sean being able to watch that first FaceTime with Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: Each time you FaceTimed with Kabrale and Antoine in this way, did you tell Kabrale and Antoine that Sean was in the room?
MS. COMEY: What did you tell them?
MS. COMEY: Why did you tell them that you were alone?
MS. COMEY: After you met Kabrale and Antoine, did you ever ask them to send you pictures of their genitals?
MS. COMEY: About how many times?
MS. COMEY: Why did you ask for that?
MS. COMEY: How did you know that was what Sean wanted?
MS. COMEY: So every time you texted -- well, let me back up.
Were these over texts or some other form of communication when you made these requests?
MS. COMEY: Every time you texted Kabrale and Antoine requesting these kinds of pictures, were you alone, were you with someone else or did it vary?
MS. COMEY: You were alone, you said?
MS. COMEY: Alone with Sean. OK. Did you ever text a request to Kabrale or Antoine for pictures of their genitals when you were alone without Sean?
MS. COMEY: And each time you sent those requests, why did you send them?
MS. COMEY: And each time how did you know that?
JANE: Because he would say, like, get them to send you something or FaceTime them or get them to send you something. And so they would.
MS. COMEY: Were there ever times that Kabrale or Antoine sent you images of their genitals when you were alone without Sean?
MS. COMEY: How did you respond when you received those images when you were alone without Sean?
MS. COMEY: How did those responses compare to the texts you sent to Antoine and Kabrale when you were with Sean and they sent you these pictures?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MS. COMEY:
MS. COMEY: Did you send something different when you were with Sean when they sent you these pictures?
MS. COMEY: How so?
MS. COMEY: Why?
MS. COMEY: Why did you want to receive these images and videos?
MS. COMEY: Ms. Gavin, could we please pull up what is in evidence as Government Exhibit F-101 and turn to pages 33 and 34.
MS. COMEY: And while we're doing that, let me ask you, Jane, did you ever see Kabrale in person without Sean?
MS. COMEY: Did you ever see Antoine in person without Sean?
MS. COMEY: Now, while we're looking at this, can we please just zoom in on the top two texts on the left.
MS. COMEY: Jane, do you recognize these?
MS. COMEY: What are they?
MS. COMEY: Who sent the blue messages?
MS. COMEY: And who sent the green messages?
MS. COMEY: And what's the date of these messages?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember at this point if you'd met Kabrale in person or not?
MS. COMEY: What did you text to Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: Then let's go to the next two messages, please.
Ms. Gavin, would you zoom in on the next two.
MS. COMEY: Jane, what did you write next?
MS. COMEY: Why did you send those messages to Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: And why were you trying to receive explicit videos or photos of him?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember if you were with Sean when you sent these texts to Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: So were you with him, or no?
MS. COMEY: How did Kabrale respond?
MS. COMEY: Can we go to the next text messages, please, Ms. Gavin.
MS. COMEY: What did you write next?
JANE: I said, we need to have a convo first, baby. I'm touching myself right now. What are you doing?
MS. COMEY: Why did you send those messages to Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: Can we see the next two text messages, please.
MS. COMEY: How did Kabrale respond?
MS. COMEY: Then what did you say?
MS. COMEY: And then after this, did you FaceTime with Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: And then what happened?
MS. COMEY: Were you alone or with someone throughout this conversation in the FaceTime?
MS. COMEY: We can take this down -- actually, leave the exhibit up, please, and jump to pages 51 and 52. Can you zoom in on the top two, please.
MS. COMEY: What did you send to Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: And then what's the next text you sent?
MS. COMEY: Why did you send these texts to Kabrale on the same day?
MS. COMEY: And why were you asking for his full name and date of birth?
MS. COMEY: We can take that down.
Can you please zoom in on the bottom right.
MS. COMEY: What did he send you?
MS. COMEY: We can take that down.
MS. COMEY: And then what did you say?
MS. COMEY: What did he say in response?
MS. COMEY: Then can we go to the next two.
MS. COMEY: What did Kabrale say?
MS. COMEY: What did you understand that to mean?
MS. COMEY: And then what did you say next?
MS. COMEY: Who were you referring to when you said she's booking?
MS. COMEY: Who's Jess?
MS. COMEY: Whose travel agent?
MS. COMEY: So what was Jess, Sean's travel agent, booking on November 9, 2021?
MS. COMEY: Can we now jump please to pages 218 and 219 of this exhibit.
Now, can you zoom in on the big text on the left, please, Ms. Gavin. Just the bottom one, please.
MS. COMEY: Jane, can you tell us what we're seeing here?
MS. COMEY: To who?
MS. COMEY: And what did he write at the top?
MS. COMEY: And we can't see the files down here, but do you remember what he sent you?
(Continued on next page)
BY MS. COMEY:
MS. COMEY: Of who?
MS. COMEY: And what's the date of this text?
MS. COMEY: We can take that down. Thank you.
MS. COMEY: And before March 23rd, 2022, when was the last time you and Kabrale had communicated with each other?
MS. COMEY: Can we zoom in on that, please. That top message.
MS. COMEY: And then after Kabrale sends you this message a couple weeks later on March 22nd, 2022, how did you respond over on the right?
MS. COMEY: Why did you say looking good with two smiley faces in response to Kabrale sending you that text?
MS. COMEY: Why were you being bland in this response as opposed to the earlier texts we looked at?
JANE: Because when I'm in my sober mind receiving these messages, it's kind of -- it's not something that I like to see.
MS. COMEY: If it's not something you like to see, why didn't you just say don't send me something like that?
MS. COMEY: So when you received these images and sent this, what you called a blander response, were you alone or with someone?
MS. COMEY: We can take that down. Thank you.
And then can we zoom in on the text to the right, please.
MS. COMEY: What did Kabrale say in response?
MS. COMEY: And did you respond to that text?
MS. COMEY: And then when did Kabrale text you again?
MS. COMEY: And what did he say to you?
MS. COMEY: We can take that down. Thank you.
MS. COMEY: And, Jane, I want to go back to what we were talking about on the earlier texts. You remember we were talking about Jess booking a flight for Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember why you were booking, having Jess book that flight for Kabrale?
MS. COMEY: And so what was the purpose of having Kabrale take a flight to see you?
MS. COMEY: What does it mean for him to be the entertainer for the night?
MS. COMEY: Now, after you met Kabrale and Antoine in person, who would coordinate with them to come to hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: And after you started coordinating with Kabrale and Antoine, were there any other entertainers, you started coordinating with?
MS. COMEY: About how many others?
MS. COMEY: And why did you coordinate with those other two?
MS. COMEY: What were their names?
MS. COMEY: We'll talk about them a bit more in a moment.
Other than those that you coordinated yourself, any of the other entertainers, who coordinated the other entertainers to come to hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: I want to talk more about the entertainers now.
Between May of 2021 and your breakup or your break with Sean in October of 2023, about how often did you participate in one of these hotel nights with Sean and another man?
MS. COMEY: Can you estimate about how frequently?

MS. COMEY: After February of 2024?
MS. COMEY: Whose residence?
MS. COMEY: Which residence is that?

Between February of 2024 and Sean's arrest later in 2024, did the frequency of these nights increase, decrease, or stay the same in comparison with the earlier part of your relationship?
MS. COMEY: So about how often do you remember having these kinds of nights with Sean after February of 2024?
MS. COMEY: Can you estimate about how many you had?
MS. COMEY: Are you estimating?
MS. COMEY: Now, in total, between May of 2021 and Sean's arrest in 2024, do you know how many different men you were paired up with during these nights?
MS. COMEY: I'd like to talk about some of those men if that's okay.
MS. COMEY: Can we please pull up what is in evidence as Government Exhibit 2A-614.
MS. COMEY: Remind us who this is.

MS. COMEY: About when do you remember meeting this man?
MS. COMEY: And how many times do you remember seeing him for one of these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: Can you tell us what happened that one time in 2021?
JANE: I remember Sean said that he had someone coming over and he invited this man over. And, honestly, I was like immediately repulsed by him.
MS. COMEY: Do you remember where you were?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember what hotel?
MS. COMEY: What happened when you met this man at the L’Ermitage?
JANE: I just remember that he was really sweaty and I just thought he didn't look nice and that he kind of smelled. And I just remember I was just hesitant with him.
MS. COMEY: We can take down the photo.
MS. COMEY: I'm going to keep asking you about this person though, okay, Jane?
MS. COMEY: What did you do after you realized you were having these negative feelings about this man?
JANE: I just tried to kind of -- I tried to make it work. I tried to -- I tried to kind of seduce him in like -- in like with my body, and try to kind of, I don't know, just try to make some sort of attraction happen. And it just wasn't. Like, I just remember him sweating so much. And I was kind of like throwing looks at my partner, like, I didn't, I didn't -- I wasn't feeling this.
MS. COMEY: When you say you were throwing looks at your partner, who were you throwing looks to?
MS. COMEY: And you said that you were trying to seduce this man. What were you and the man wearing at this point?
MS. COMEY: And what was the man wearing?
MS. COMEY: And what did you do to try to seduce this man?
JANE: I tried to touch his chest. I tried to bring him closer to me. And I remember Sean trying to say, like, if I want to taste it or if I want to do something with him. And I was trying to just kind of move around that subject and just was trying to find different ways to kind of -- I don't know.
MS. COMEY: When you say you were trying to move around that subject, what subject are you referring to?
MS. COMEY: So what did you do to try to avoid performing oral sex on this man?
JANE: I just -- I think at that point I think I just like really turned to my partner, like, like I just can't, like...
MS. COMEY: So what did you say to Sean?
MS. COMEY: How did Sean respond?
MS. COMEY: Where did he lay you down?
MS. COMEY: And where was the other man when Sean laid you down and started having sex with you?
MS. COMEY: On the bed?
MS. COMEY: And then what did Sean do as he was having sex with you?
MS. COMEY: Sean was telling you to look at what?
MS. COMEY: What happened next?
MS. COMEY: When you say he excused the man, what do you mean?
MS. COMEY: After the guy left, what happened next?
MS. COMEY: What do you mean?
MS. COMEY: So after Sean excused the first man, what did Sean say to you?
MS. COMEY: And you said he had a plan B. Are those your words or his words?
MS. COMEY: After Sean said he had someone else coming, what happened next?
MS. COMEY: And then what happened when Paul arrived?
MS. COMEY: What happened?
JANE: And I remember Sean wanted me to touch this new man, and touch him while I was blindfolded. And then I took off my blindfold and I saw Paul.
MS. COMEY: Had you met Paul before Sean brought him into the room while you were blindfolded?
MS. COMEY: Did you know his name at that point?
MS. COMEY: After you took off the blindfold, what happened next?
MS. COMEY: What do you mean?
JANE: I was more comfortable around Paul. I felt that he was handsome. I thought he looked nice. And he had a really nice, like, warm energy about him that I liked.
MS. COMEY: Did you want to have sex with Paul?
MS. COMEY: Then why do you say you took a liking to him?
MS. COMEY: What do you mean when you say if this was the situation?
MS. COMEY: Ms. Gavin, could you please pull up just for the witness and the parties what's been marked for identification as Government Exhibit 2A-604.
MS. COMEY: Do you recognize this?
MS. COMEY: What is it?
MS. COMEY: Do you know the man's name?
MS. COMEY: How do you know Michael?
MS. COMEY: In what context?
MS. COMEY: So for one of these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, the government offers this in evidence.
MS. GERAGOS: No objection.
THE COURT: 2A-604 will be admitted.
(Government's Exhibit 2A-604 received in evidence)
MS. COMEY: May we please publish to the jury.
MS. COMEY: About how many times do you remember seeing this person you know as Michael for one of these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: When was the first approximately?
MS. COMEY: Are you estimating?
MS. COMEY: How did you end up meeting Michael around that time?
JANE: I ended up meeting Michael -- Sean invited me to a hotel and I met up with Sean at the hotel room.
MS. COMEY: Do you remember what hotel?
MS. COMEY: And what happened at The Edition?
JANE: I remember I met with Sean and he said that something new was coming. And then, like, just a bit later, I remember Sean was having small talk with this guy on the balcony or patio area and then he invites me out to meet them both.
MS. COMEY: What happened next?
JANE: I remember Michael was really nice and he was nice mood and we took a liking to each other and I found him attractive and we just were making small talk.
MS. COMEY: Did Sean say how he knew Michael or how he met him?
MS. COMEY: What do you mean later on you think it was Cowboys?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: Sustained.
MS. COMEY: Did you later have a conversation with Sean about Michael?
MS. COMEY: And during that conversation what did Sean tell you about Michael?
MS. COMEY: What's Cowboys?
MS. COMEY: Back to this first time when you met Michael, what do you remember happening in the hotel room after you had first met him and made small talk?
JANE: I remember the same kind of routine happened. And I remember Sean was trying to film and I remember that this man was the first man that said, no, I don't want to be filmed.
MS. COMEY: And what did Sean do in response when Michael said, no, I don't want to be filmed?
MS. COMEY: Did you end up having sex with Michael that first time?
MS. COMEY: Who was there when that happened?
MS. COMEY: And we can take that down, Ms. Gavin.
MS. COMEY: But I want to keep talking about Michael.
When was the next time you can remember seeing Michael for one of these hotel nights?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember when that was?
JANE: I -- I have a fuzzy memory of if it was just me and Michael and Sean, or if he was a part of that sobriety party.
MS. COMEY: So can you clearly remember in your mind whether the next time you saw him was for that sobriety party we talked about earlier or a different time?
MS. COMEY: You said it's a little fuzzy. Can you explain what you mean when you say it's a little fuzzy?
JANE: I -- I have a memory of having sex with Michael at the L’Ermitage, and then I don't know if it blends in in my memory if it was the same --
MS. GERAGOS: Objection, your Honor.
THE COURT: It's overruled.
MS. COMEY: You can keep going, Jane.
JANE: And then I have a -- I'm mixing his -- his memory with if I saw him just one on one with Sean at a hotel night or if -- if it was me, Michael, and him at the sobriety party starting -- yeah, starting a sobriety party.
I can't remember if that was the third time or second time with Michael.
MS. COMEY: So let's be clear. Do you remember seeing Michael at the sobriety party you told us about before the break?
MS. COMEY: And do you remember if he was the first, second, or third man you had sex with during that sobriety party?
MS. COMEY: And is the fuzziness you're talking about whether there may have been another time other than the two times you've told us about when you had sex with Michael while Sean was there?
MS. COMEY: Okay.
MS. COMEY: Ms. Gavin, will you please pull up what's been marked for identification as Government Exhibit 2A-629.
MS. COMEY: Do you recognize the person in this photograph?
MS. COMEY: Who is that?
MS. COMEY: How do you know him?
MS. COMEY: Which birthday did you meet him on?
MS. COMEY: How did you meet him?
MS. COMEY: For what?
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, the government offers this exhibit in evidence.
MS. GERAGOS: No objection.
THE COURT: All right. 2A-629 will be admitted.
(Government's Exhibit 2A-629 received in evidence)
MS. COMEY: May we please publish that to the jury, Ms. Gavin.
MS. COMEY: Where were you for your birthday in 2023 when you met this man?
MS. COMEY: And when you went to Miami to celebrate your birthday, before you left, what had Sean told you about the plan for your birthday?
JANE: He said that -- to come to Miami, that we would spend time together and just have like birthday vibes, just me and him.
MS. COMEY: So based on that conversation with Sean, what did you expect you would be doing over your birthday in 2023?
JANE: I expected just quality time with my partner. Just -- just a birthday celebration, dinner, us, sex, togetherness.
MS. COMEY: You said you expected sex. Who did you expect to have sex with?
MS. COMEY: Anyone else?
MS. COMEY: By this time, had you told Sean you did not want to do a hotel night?
MS. COMEY: When you arrived in Miami for your birthday in 2023, what happened?
JANE: I remember we were at dinner and I dressed up for him. We were at a sushi place and I was really just happy to be around my -- my lover. And he was just so loving and sweet as always. And then he starts to tell me, I'm so excited to see what entertainment is tonight. Something like that.
MS. COMEY: Where were you when Sean said that?
MS. COMEY: Where were you at dinner?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember where you went to dinner?
MS. COMEY: Was that inside the hotel you were staying at?
MS. COMEY: How did you react when Sean brought up entertainment?
JANE: I just gulped. Like ugh, like I just had this, like, gulp moment. Like, like something was stuck in my throat, like because I didn't expect that.
MS. COMEY: What did you say to Sean?
JANE: I said entertainer, like I -- I was just kind of like -- like I didn't really have the words. And he was like, well, it's your birthday, I thought you just wanted to have fun for your birthday. It's your birthday. We should try something new for your birthday.
MS. COMEY: How did you respond?
MS. COMEY: Why?
MS. COMEY: What happened after that dinner?
MS. COMEY: Ms. Gavin, can you take down the photo please.
MS. COMEY: Do you remember what it was?
MS. COMEY: What happened after Sean gave you that necklace?
MS. COMEY: The man we were just looking at in that photo?
MS. COMEY: What happened when the man came in?
JANE: I just remember at this point in our relationship this just had become so routine that I just was in my same rhythm, almost just like robotically. And just the same thing, just small talk. I'm in lingerie. I'm just flirting with the guy, and I'm just getting things comfortable and just -- nice in that moment.
MS. COMEY: Do you need a break, Jane?
MS. COMEY: You described yourself as robotic. Could you explain what you mean by that?
JANE: I just feel like -- I just feel like at this point that I've just done so many of these, that I just know how to -- how to just tune out and just kind of get in the -- like a zone. And I just know what my partner likes to see. And I just turn on this person, and I just begin.
MS. COMEY: You said you tune out, what did you mean by that?
MS. COMEY: And then I think you said something like you brought this person out; did I hear that right?
MS. COMEY: What did you mean by that?
MS. COMEY: What do you mean?
JANE: Just somebody just who can -- who can just -- just perform this. Just tune into somebody that can just -- that can just do this and just get into it.
MS. COMEY: So after you tuned into being that kind of person in this room, what do you remember happening with this man on your birthday in 2023?
JANE: I just remember we were much quicker. I was much quicker with this person. I didn't -- I did not know him. He felt more like a stranger to me more than anyone. And I just felt that it was just even more of an invasive moment because it was my birthday and I didn't want to do this on my birthday.
And I just remember I just sat there. I was already on the couch. I just wanted to, like, get in position to have intercourse so that we could just get it over with.
MS. COMEY: What do you remember happening when you were sitting on the couch getting ready to have intercourse with this man?
MS. COMEY: Who did you ask for a condom?
MS. COMEY: Where was Sean when you asked him for a condom?
MS. COMEY: How did Sean respond when you asked for a condom?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember what he did?
JANE: Behind this man, I remember Sean giving me these really bad looks, these really dirty looks. Like shaking his head, like you better not ask for a fucking condom. Like I remember those words out of his mouth. I could just read -- read it.
MS. COMEY: What words did you hear out of his mouth?
MS. COMEY: What else did you hear him say?
MS. GERAGOS: Objection.
THE COURT: Overruled.
THE COURT: You can answer.
MS. COMEY: Was that the only thing you remember him saying?
MS. COMEY: How did you react when Sean said you better not ask for a fucking condom?
JANE: I just tried to play it off like I didn't see it. And I just -- I took it in like -- I take his energy in, like I didn't react to it because right in front of me was this man in between my legs getting ready to have sex with me and I didn't want to, like, sour the mood.
MS. COMEY: Why didn't you want to sour the mood?
JANE: Because I just -- I just -- I just didn't want -- I just didn't want my partner unhappy with me.
MS. COMEY: Jane, do you need a break or are you okay to keep going?
MS. COMEY: Okay. What happened next if you're ready to tell us.
JANE: I remember I got -- I got the condom. I remember I was able to have that condom moment at least.
MS. COMEY: Do you remember how you were able to get the condom?
MS. COMEY: How did that happen if he had said you better not ask for one?
JANE: Because he could see that I really wanted one. And that he said what he said, and he turns around, grabs it, and gives it to the guy. And then the guy has sex with me with a condom.
MS. COMEY: And what was Sean doing while the guy had sex with you with a condom?
JANE: He hated it. He was like walking away. He was just so disinterested. Even while all this was happening, he just seemed so disappointed in what was happening. And it just made me feel really, really bad. And I just wanted it to be over.
MS. COMEY: How did that end?
MS. COMEY: After the man finished, what do you remember happening next?
MS. COMEY: So after the man finished having sex with you, did he leave?
MS. COMEY: And then you said we switched rooms. Who switched rooms?
MS. COMEY: In the same hotel?
MS. COMEY: And what happened when you got to the bigger suite?
JANE: I remember Sean was -- Sean was -- he shifted his energy. He was more loving. He was celebratory. He had a surprise for me at the table of that suite. And it was cake, flowers. I think there was another bracelet, and just drinks and balloons. And he made that suite look really nice for me when we got there.
MS. COMEY: And what happened after you got to that suite?
JANE: After that, we just had that rare bit of alone time. And then I don't even know how, I don't even remember, but then Kabrale comes.
MS. COMEY: Do you remember any conversation between you and Sean before Kabrale came?
MS. COMEY: Do you remember how Kabrale ended up coming?
MS. COMEY: What happened when Kabrale came?
MS. COMEY: Hours and hours of what, Jane?
MS. COMEY: When you say doing so much, what are you referring to?
JANE: Just -- just foreplay with Kabrale, doing things I know my partner wants to see. Going back and forth between the men. I don't even know how long Kabrale was there. I don't know if it was multiple rounds. I don't know. But by that time he left, it was morning.
MS. COMEY: Throughout the time that you were having sex and foreplay with Kabrale, where was Sean?
MS. COMEY: At the point when Kabrale left, how long had you been having sex during this hotel night?
MS. COMEY: After Kabrale left, what if anything do you remember Sean saying to you?
MS. COMEY: How did you react when you heard that Don was coming?
MS. COMEY: Why did you react like it was nothing if you hated it?
MS. COMEY: Jane, did Don end up coming on your birthday?
MS. COMEY: And what happened when he came?
MS. COMEY: Who was there when you had sex?
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think this might be a good time to take a lunch break if you're okay to do it a little early.
THE COURT: That's fine.
Thank you, members of the jury. We'll take a break and we'll be back at 1:15. As always, do not speak about the case each other or with anybody else and do not look up anything about the case.
With that, have a good lunch. All rise for the jury.
