Document Summary

This document is page 70 of a court transcript from the summation in Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell). Prosecutor Ms. Moe argues against the testimony of expert witness Loftus regarding false memories, citing a study where researchers failed to implant false memories of a 'rectal enema.' Moe argues that, like the enema, sexual abuse is a traumatic event that cannot be suggested or falsely implanted, and notes that Loftus admitted traumatic memories are stronger than others.
