SUMMARY OF THE CASE
The Court is selecting a jury for a trial commencing on Monday, November 29, 2021. Although it is never possible to predict the length of a trial, currently this trial is expected to last approximately [] weeks.
Commented [A2]: The parties will submit a joint letter to the Court on October 12, 2021 providing an estimate of the trial length.
This is a criminal case. The defendant, Ghislaine Maxwell, has been charged in an indictment with various criminal offenses. The indictment is not evidence. It simply contains the charges—referred to as “counts”—that the Government intends to prove to the jury at trial beyond a reasonable doubt.
The charges in the Indictment stem from allegations that from at least 1994 through 2004, the defendant conspired with and aided and abetted Jeffrey Epstein to entice minors to travel to engage in criminal sexual activity, to transport minors to engage in criminal sexual activity and to engage in sex trafficking of a minor.
The Indictment charges the defendant in 6 counts: Count One of the Indictment charges the defendant with conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein and others to entice minors to travel to engage in sexual activity for which a person can be charged with a criminal offense. Count Two charges the defendant with conspiring with Epstein and others to transport minors to engage in sexual activity for which a person can be charged with a criminal offense. Count Three charges the defendant with transporting a minor to engage in sexual activity for which a person can be charged with a criminal offense, and aiding and abetting the same. Count Four charges the defendant with conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein and others to transport a minor to engage in sexual activity for which a person can be charged with a criminal offense. Count Five charges the defendant with participating in aiding and abetting the same. Count Six charges the defendant with sex trafficking of a minor, and aiding and abetting the same.
