Summary
This legal document, filed on August 22, 2022, is a transcript of a judge's ruling regarding a sentencing calculation. The judge finds that two minor victims, Virginia Roberts and Melissa, were trafficked and abused by the defendant and Epstein and should be considered for sentencing purposes, even though they were not named in the indictment. Citing precedent from the Second Circuit, the judge overrules the defendant's objection and decides to treat the conduct against these two victims as additional counts of conviction.
