Summary
This document is a transcript of a legal summation by Ms. Menninger, likely a defense attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell. The speaker challenges the prosecution's portrayal of Virginia Roberts as a victim, questioning why she did not testify and presenting evidence that she was an 18-year-old masseuse at Mar-a-Lago. The summation concludes by attempting to shift blame, arguing that it was Virginia Roberts, not Ghislaine Maxwell, who introduced another young woman, Carolyn, to Epstein.

1 They talked to you about sex toys that were found on a

3 Then there's Virginia Roberts. The government wants
4 to try to claim that Virginia Roberts was also a victim.
5 Where is Virginia Roberts? Why didn't Virginia
6 Roberts come and get on the stand and tell you that she was a
7 victim? Use your common sense. If she could corroborate
8 Carolyn, you think they might have had her come in and do that?

13 Mar-a-Lago, and Virginia Roberts came out wearing a white
14 uniform, as though she worked there. And Juan Alessi also told
15 you and said in a deposition in 2009, she was a masseuse. He
16 understood her to be a masseuse. This isn't picking up a girl
17 off the side of the road.
18 And look at the records, okay. We put in Virginia
19 Roberts' school records. She was going to Survivor Charter
20 School from 2001 to 2002. She was 18 years old. That's where
21 Shawn says he met her. And in 2002 is when Virginia introduced
22 Carolyn to Epstein, when she was 18 years old. So Virginia is
23 the one who's taking underage girls to meet Epstein, not
24 Ghislaine Maxwell.
