This culture of silence provided cover for Maxwell and Epstein to sexually abuse young girls. In the early phase of the conspiracy, between 1994 and 2001, Maxwell and Epstein identified vulnerable girls, typically from single-mother households and difficult financial circumstances. (Tr.295, 1178, 2051-52). Maxwell and Epstein then isolated the girls, spending time with them away from their family and friends. (Tr.296-99, 1175-82, 2069-70, 2077-79). During that time, they groomed the girls through techniques such as giving them gifts, pretending to be friends, and building trust. (Tr.298-303, 348, 2079-81). Maxwell and Epstein then normalized sexual situations and sexual touching. (Tr.300-01, 2081-84). Finally, they transitioned to sexual abuse, often through the pretext of giving Epstein a massage. (Tr.306-15, 319-23, 1183-88, 2084-88).²
In the later phase of the scheme, from 2001 through 2004, Maxwell and Epstein developed a stream of girls who recruited each other to visit Epstein at his Palm Beach residence. (Tr.1518-25, 1543-46). Maxwell and Epstein paid young girls hundreds of dollars in cash in
² These techniques were the textbook methods of child predators. At trial, Dr. Lisa Rocchio, an expert in psychology with a specialized expertise in traumatic stress and interpersonal violence, explained that children are most frequently sexually abused through grooming and coercion in the context of a relationship. (Tr.713). Dr. Rocchio explained that abusers use a series of deceptive tactics to engage a child in sexual abuse. (Tr.715-20).
