Betsock provided the following information: From 1980 through 1993, Betsock met Epstein approximately eight times. The initial introduction in 1980 was at the "clothing optional" beach in Sandy Hook, NJ. Epstein was part of a group of 20 men (some were gay) called The Grey Hounds (or The Gray Hounds) (Hounds). Hounds made sure nothing happened at the beach, meaning there was no orgy or sex between the Hounds, and those hanging out with the Hounds. The Hounds would chase other visitors off the beach who were having sex on the beach. The Hounds would play volleyball naked. "It was a time when we were just a group of people wanting to enjoy the sunshine without having to pull the suit out of our butts." Betsock has several pictures of the group. Betsocks' brother, Joseph Stephen Andrew Banks, now deceased, was friends with Epstein and also was a member of the Hounds. Although Betsock advised her brother Banks was bi-sexual, Banks never molested Betsock. If Banks knew of any details relating to Epstein's sexual age preference, UNCLASSIFIED 3501.250-001 Page I of 2 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00 108283 EFTA01249227 500-NY-3027571 Serial 232 UNCLASSIFIED Re: 31E-NY-3027571, 08/15/2019 Banks never told Betsock. Betsock advised Epstein "did not molest me, or I cannot remember, or maybe I am blocking it out." Betsock does not remember any names of the other kids that were hanging out with the Hounds. Betsock advised Epstein loved to frequent the New Jersey bar "Frank's Chicken House," northeast of the beach. Betsock stated during the telephone interview the reason she called was to advise the FBI she would be happy to assist the FBI or the group of ladies that came forward. • • UNCLASSIFIED 3501.250-001 Page 2 of 2 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00 108284 EFTA01249228
