Summary
This document is a legal filing from the Government arguing against granting bail to the defendant in case 20-cr-00330-AJN. The Government asserts its case is strong, based on detailed testimony from multiple victims about predatory conduct in the 1990s, which is corroborated by evidence such as flight records and diary entries. The Government expresses concern that bailing the defendant would deny justice to the victims and states it will urge the Court to deny bail at a hearing on July 14, 2020.

their client opposes bail for the defendant, and has asked the Government to convey that view to the Court. The Government also expects that one or more victims will exercise their right to be heard at the July 14, 2020 hearing in this matter, and will urge the Court not to grant bail. More generally, as noted above, the Government is deeply concerned that if the defendant is bailed, the victims will be denied justice in this case.

II. The Government’s Case Is Strong
The defendant’s motion argues, in a conclusory fashion, that the Government’s case must be weak because the conduct charged occurred in the 1990s. That argument, which ignores the many specific allegations in the Indictment, could not be more wrong. As the superseding indictment (the “Indictment”) makes plain, multiple victims have provided detailed, credible evidence of the defendant’s criminal conduct. And while that conduct did take place a number of years ago, it is unsurprising that the victims have been unable to forget the defendant’s predatory conduct after all this time, as traumatic childhood experiences often leave indelible marks.
