About

Michelle Healy testified for the defense about working at J. Epstein and Company from about 1996 to 1999, first handling reception and errands and later serving briefly as an assistant. She identified Ghislaine Maxwell as one of her bosses, said she reported to both Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, and described Maxwell as a demanding supervisor whom she respected and learned from.

Healy said Maxwell oversaw properties and decorating. She also recounted that Maxwell took her to Zorro Ranch after Healy's sister was injured there. After reviewing an exhibit under seal, Healy said she had met Jane at the office and understood Jane to be Epstein's goddaughter. She denied involvement in group sexualized massages with Jane, Epstein, or through her work.

On cross-examination, Healy confirmed that her work was limited to Epstein's office and that she had not visited his Palm Beach house, traveled with him, or flown on his planes.
