Summary
This document is a transcript from a court proceeding on August 10, 2022, where an attorney argues that their client, Ghislaine, should not be convicted of enticement. The attorney contends that her act of arranging travel was merely a 'ministerial function,' akin to a travel agent's work, and lacked the necessary element of persuasion or inducement required by the statute. The argument is supported by citing the 2008 Second Circuit precedent in 'United States v. Joseph'.
