DEPOSITION OF ADRIANA ROSS Named Associate — Giuffre v. Maxwell
Adriana Ross (also known as Adriana Mucinska), originally from Poland, was deposed in the Giuffre v. Maxwell civil case. She invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination more than 100 times during the proceeding.
ROLE: Ross was named as a potential co-conspirator in the 2008 Non-Prosecution Agreement and was granted immunity from federal prosecution. She was referenced in FBI investigation records and victim statements as part of the network of associates who facilitated Epstein's activities.
Court documents described Ross as serving in a role similar to other named associates — helping manage and schedule activities at Epstein's residences. Her specific responsibilities were not fully established in public testimony due to her consistent invocation of the Fifth Amendment.
SIGNIFICANCE: The refusal of multiple Epstein associates — including Kellen, Ross, and others — to answer questions under oath highlighted the scope of the network that facilitated Epstein's criminal activities and the effectiveness of the NPA's immunity provisions in shielding potential witnesses from accountability.
Legal scholars noted that the broad immunity provisions of the NPA created a paradox: individuals who might have provided crucial information about the extent of Epstein's crimes had no incentive to cooperate with civil investigations, as they faced no criminal exposure and could simply invoke Fifth Amendment protections in civil cases.
