Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (Opening Statement by Ms. Pomerantz) filed on August 10, 2022, in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell. The text outlines Maxwell's role as the 'lady of the house' and 'second in command' to Jeffrey Epstein, detailing how she managed his properties and enforced a strict culture of silence among employees. It further describes their 'playbook' for grooming victims, which involved targeting vulnerable girls—often from single-mother households—by flaunting wealth and promising to pay for their education.
