Summary
This document is a transcript of a legal summation by Ms. Menninger, likely a defense attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell. The speaker challenges the prosecution's portrayal of Virginia Roberts as a victim, questioning why she did not testify and presenting evidence that she was an 18-year-old masseuse at Mar-a-Lago. The summation concludes by attempting to shift blame, arguing that it was Virginia Roberts, not Ghislaine Maxwell, who introduced another young woman, Carolyn, to Epstein.
