Summary
This is page 6 of a legal memorandum from Kirkland & Ellis LLP, defending Jeffrey Epstein. The document argues that Epstein's conduct does not violate federal statutes 18 U.S.C. §§ 1591, 2422(b), or 2423(b), specifically focusing on § 2422(b) (coercion/enticement). The defense asserts that because Epstein's assistants made the phone calls to schedule massages without discussing sexual acts or possessing criminal intent at the time of the call, the 'interstate facility' element of the federal crime is not met.
