Summary
This document is a page from a legal filing by the defense team (Law Offices of Bobbi C. Sternheim) in the Ghislaine Maxwell case (1:20-cr-00330-PAE). It argues that specific individuals—Maria Farmer, Sarah Ransome, Teresa Helm, and Juliette Bryant—do not qualify as 'victims' under the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) relative to the counts of conviction. The defense contends that because the federal charges specifically required the involvement of minors, and these women were either not minors or their interactions fell outside the indictment timeline, they are not statutory victims entitled to CVRA rights in this specific legal context.
