10 woman, she provided an initial venire of responsibility and
11 even safety. She befriended and developed relationships of
12 trust. She then manipulated the victims and normalized sexual
13 abuse through her involvement, encouragement, and instruction.
14 To give one example from trial, Jane testified that
15 Ms. Maxwell cultivated a friendship with her, took her to
16 movies and shopping. In an initial sexual interaction, while
17 Jane was 14 years old, the defendant engaged in sexual conduct
18 with Epstein while Jane was present. After that, the defendant
19 instructed Jane, again, while she was only 14 years old, on how
20 to massage Epstein, including instructions on how to touch his
21 penis during massages. The abuse later escalated to Epstein
22 using vibrators on Jane, penetrating her with his fingers.
23 During some of the sexual abuse, the defendant would herself
24 touch Jane's breasts.
