Court filings identify Story Cowles as a legal assistant hired by Epstein’s attorney to work on Epstein’s case and relay information between Epstein and his lawyers. A plaintiff sought to depose Cowles, and Epstein’s side filed a motion seeking to block that deposition; these records establish his work connection to the case, not wrongdoing.

The strongest appearances are legal records: four substantive legal documents in the archive, including a motion describing Cowles’s role and a filing concerning the effort to depose him. The archive also counts one email with Cowles in a sender or recipient header; the other records include email exchanges and incidental references. The documents do not establish the substance of the proposed deposition.

Key Highlights

•A motion filed by Epstein’s defense says Cowles was hired by attorney Jack Goldberger in 2008 as a law office assistant working on Epstein’s case, including relaying information between Epstein and his attorneys.
•A plaintiff noticed Cowles’s deposition; Epstein’s side sought a protective order to prevent it.
•Across the archive, Cowles is mentioned in 10 documents: five emails, four legal documents, and one other record.
