# Detective Recarey, Probable-Cause Affidavit:

May 2006

On November 21, 2005 I interviewed Jose [sic] Alessi, a for- mer houseman for Jeffrey Epstein. Alessi stated he was employed for eleven years with Mr. Epstein, from approxi- mately 1993 through 2004. Alessi stated he was the house manager, driver and house maintenance person. It was his responsibility to prepare the house for Epstein's arrival. When asked about cooks or assistants, Alessi stated they traveled with Epstein on his private plane. I asked Mr. Alessi about the massages that have occurred at Epstein's home. Alessi stated Epstein receives three massages a day. Each masseuse that visited the house was different. Alessi stated that towards the end of his employment, the masseuses were younger and younger. When asked how young, Mr. Alessi stated they appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years of age
