Summary
This document is a court transcript of a rebuttal by Ms. Comey in a criminal case. She argues against the defense's claim that four women (Jane, Kate, Carolyn, and Annie) are misremembering their experiences, asserting that their core memories of trauma involving the defendant (Maxwell) and Epstein are solid and reliable. The prosecutor highlights specific, vivid memories of the victims to counter the defense's theory of a 'massive false memory event'.

First, the defense tries to argue that Jane, Kate,
Carolyn, and Annie are all misremembering what happened to
them. They concede that the sexual contact happened with
Epstein, but the theory is, Maxwell just had no part in it,
wasn't involved. So the theory is that all four of these women
had a massive false memory event that just happen to include
details of the defendant grooming them in the same way using
the same playbook. Your common sense tells you that didn't
happen. The defense's own expert, Professor Loftus, confirmed
that the core memories of trauma are solid. Peripheral details
make it a little fuzzy, but those main memories, those events
that are at the center are implanted. Some things you never
forget because they're seared into your brain forever.
You remember keen moments, moments that change your
life, like Jane remembering the defendant touching her breasts,
Carolyn remembering the defendant touching her breasts, Annie
remembering the defendant touching her breasts, Kate
remembering the defendant standing right next to her in the
doorway the first time she sees Jeffrey Epstein naked, frozen
with fear.
There was nothing peripheral about the defendant. She
was the core memory, she was essential to this scheme. And to
distract you from the remarkable clarity with which these women
remember those core details, the defense primarily points to
how Jane and Carolyn have described aspects of their
