Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) filed on August 22, 2022, in which the judge overrules objections from the defendant (Ghislaine Maxwell). The court finds by a preponderance of evidence that the defendant personally recruited Virginia (Giuffre) while she was a minor to provide sexualized massages to Epstein, was aware of the sexual nature of these acts, and used monetary incentives to encourage Virginia to recruit another minor, Carolyn. The judge cites testimony from witnesses Annie, Jane, Kate, and Mr. Alessi, as well as flight records.
