Summary
This document is page 67 of a legal filing (Document 204) in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on April 16, 2021. The text contains legal arguments regarding the interpretation of 18 U.S.C. § 3283, specifically debating whether a 'categorical approach' or 'fact-based approach' applies to defining offenses involving sexual abuse. The prosecution argues that the defendant's interpretation would contradict Congress's intent to broadly prosecute crimes against children.
