IT WOULD TURN INTO AN ‘ORGY’

Peek into staff’s ‘say nothing’ rulebook

Ghislaine Maxwell kept a 58-page list of rules that ordered staff at Jeffrey Epstein’s estates to “see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing” and to always make sure the couple had a gun nearby at night.

The accused madam’s sex-trafficking trial got to see the “Maxwell Household Manual” on Thursday as former housekeeper Juan Alessi testified about the “very degrading” way staff were treated.

The 2005 manual — which was entered into evidence — showed the lengths Maxwell, the 59-year-old “lady of the house,” went to in ensuring that Epstein’s mansion in Palm Beach, Fla., was “like a five-star hotel.”

Staff needed to “anticipate the needs of Mr. Epstein, Ms. Maxwell and their guests,” stated the introduction of the manual, which made clear that disgraced media baron Robert Maxwell’s daughter was sharing the master bedroom with the perverted moneyman at the time. “Remember that you see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing, except to answer a question directed at you,” it warned on the first page of orders.

The rules detailed a slew of instructions for each room, especially the master bedroom, which had to be kept at 60 degrees and have “JE and GM telephone directories” near the phone. A separate bedroom was not listed for Maxwell, though she had her own bathroom.

Additionally, staffers were ordered to keep a “gun placed in bedside table drawer.”

Other orders hinted at a sense of paranoia in 2005, which was before Epstein was convicted and jailed for sex offenses with underage girls.

“Unless otherwise instructed, NEVER disclose Mr. Epstein or Ms. Maxwell’s activities or whereabouts to anyone,” the rulebook warned. “Do not be bullied . . . simply be firm.”

Staff also had to “advise Ms. Maxwell of any strange telephone calls or enquiries” as well as “any unusual behavior, such as strangers lurking around the vicinity of the property.”

Alessi — who said the couple called him “John” instead of “Juan” — told jurors at Maxwell’s trial in Manhattan that he “was supposed to be blind, deaf and dumb and say nothing of their lives.”
