Summary
This document is a transcript of an opening statement, likely from Ghislaine Maxwell's defense attorney, Ms. Sternheim. The attorney argues that the four female accusers, who are using pseudonyms, are unreliable witnesses motivated by money ("a payday"). She claims their stories have changed over time, were only told after Epstein's death, and are based on flawed, contaminated memories, which will be discussed in expert testimony.
