Document Summary

This document is the final page (14) of a government filing dated July 12, 2019, addressed to Judge Richard M. Berman, arguing against bail for Jeffrey Epstein. The text provides legal precedents establishing that sex trafficking laws (Section 1591) apply to consumers/buyers, not just suppliers, refuting the defense's legal arguments. The conclusion explicitly requests pretrial detention based on Epstein's wealth, flight risk, possession of lewd photos of minors, and history of witness interference.
