Michael Austrich And The Transcript From His Epstein Related Deposition (Part 2)

Michael Austrich, a former boyfriend of Virginia Giuffre, testified about their relationship before she became closely involved with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. He described Giuffre’s living arrangements, her relationship with her family and her employment at Mar-a-Lago, where she worked before Maxwell approached her and introduced her to Epstein. Austrich’s recollections helped establish the basic timeline of Giuffre’s life during that period and supported her account that her entry into Epstein’s world began through Maxwell while she was still a vulnerable teenager working at the resort.

Austrich did not claim to have personally witnessed Epstein or Maxwell sexually abusing Giuffre, and much of his testimony concerned background details rather than the alleged abuse itself. Nevertheless, his deposition provided corroboration for important parts of Giuffre’s story, including where she was living, where she worked and when her association with Epstein and Maxwell began. By confirming elements of the timeline from his own firsthand experience, Austrich’s testimony strengthened the broader factual foundation of Giuffre’s allegations, even though it did not independently prove the most serious claims at the center of the lawsuit.
