Summary
This court transcript details a legal argument about the admissibility of evidence in a case against the defendant, Epstein. The speaker argues that a topless photograph of a victim, taken at a tropical location consistent with flight records, is relevant to prove their relationship was sexual in nature. This evidence is intended to counter the defense's potential argument that the victim was merely a professional masseuse providing a treatment to the defendant at Mar-a-Lago.

Quote #1
"And if the defense intends to argue that this person was a professional masseuse, it is certainly relevant in response to that argument that, in fact, Epstein had a topless photograph of her in a location that appears to be a tropical island which would be consistent with flight records along those lines."Source
— Meder (implied)
(Explaining how the photograph serves as rebuttal evidence to a potential defense argument.)

1 There are of course limitations on metadata and
2 whether it can tell whether a file was saved on a certain date
3 or whether a photograph was taken on a certain date or
4 otherwise. And to the extent the defense wants to put that at
5 issue, they're certainly welcome to do so.
6 In terms of its relevance, it shows that the nature of
7 the relationship between the defendant, Epstein, and this
8 victim was of a sexual nature. For example, when Mr. Alessi
9 testified about this victim, I believe the cross examination
10 about that was that she was a professional, that she was at
11 Mar-a-Lago, the defendant was only there for a treatment, and I
12 believe there was a lot of -- there were a lot of questions on
13 cross examination designed to suggest that she was a
14 professional masseuse. And if the defense intends to argue
15 that this person was a professional masseuse, it is certainly
16 relevant in response to that argument that, in fact, Epstein
17 had a topless photograph of her in a location that appears to
18 be a tropical island which would be consistent with flight
19 records along those lines. Again, it goes to the relationship
20 between the defendant, Epstein, and this victim, that it was of
21 a sexualized nature, which is consistent with witness
22 testimony.
23 With respect to the particular date of the photograph,
24 that is an issue that the defense is certainly free to explore
25 and put before the jury. I can't make a representation about
2 whether it can tell whether a file was saved on a certain date
3 or whether a photograph was taken on a certain date or
4 otherwise. And to the extent the defense wants to put that at
5 issue, they're certainly welcome to do so.
