'You see nothing': Epstein's ex-estate manager testifies about Maxwell's strict house rules

Jeffrey Epstein's former Palm Beach property manager testified Thursday that Ghislaine Maxwell had a 58-page handbook that warned employees: "Remember that you see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing, except to answer a question directed at you."

Juan Alessi, who worked for the disgraced financier from 1990 to 2002, told jurors that Maxwell controlled every aspect of Epstein's Florida estate and that she issued "a tremendous amount" of rules, which included avoiding eye contact with the alleged pedophile.

"Mr. Epstein doesn't like to be looked at in his eyes," Alessi said Maxwell told him. "Never look at his eyes. Look in another part of the room and answer him."

Alessi told jurors during the fourth day of Maxwell's sex trafficking trial that he took rules as "a kind of warning."
