Summary
This document is a court transcript from August 10, 2022, in which an attorney, Mr. Rohrbach, argues against a defendant's motion to dismiss charges of enticement. Rohrbach asserts that the defendant, along with an individual named Epstein, manipulated a victim named Jane by building a relationship with her over several years, ultimately persuading her to travel to New York. The argument centers on the idea that playing on Jane's 'hopes and desires' fits the legal definition of enticement, justifying the charges.

1 Counts One and Two, the enticement conspiracy and substantive
2 counts.
3 THE COURT: All right. Thank you.
4 Mr. Rohrbach.
5 MR. ROHRBACH: If I may take the podium, your Honor.
6 Your Honor, the Court should deny the defendant's
7 motion as to Counts One and Two.
8 Jane was not in New York by accident. In fact,
9 there's no nonsexualized purpose that's been articulated at
10 this point for Jane to travel to New York.
11 Mr. Everdell takes a very narrow view on the nexus
12 that's required between enticement, inducement, and the other
13 verbs that are in the enticement statute and the travel itself.
14 The jury could readily conclude, as the government has argued,
15 that all of Jane's travel to New York was in the context of the
16 relationship that the defendant and Epstein built with Jane.
17 That meets each of the verbs in the statute.
18 Jane's testimony is that the defendant played on her
19 hopes and dreams to make her feel special, seen, and cared for.
20 "Enticement" is defined as using hope and desire. So the
21 defendant was playing on Jane's hopes and desires in order to
22 get her into this relationship over a multi-year period in
23 which she was traveling with the defendant.
24 Similarly, persuasion, the defendant testified that --
25 sorry, Jane testified that the defendant developed a friendship
