Summary
This document is a jury instruction for Count Four in a criminal case against Ms. Maxwell, concerning the transportation of a minor, "Jane," across state lines for illegal sexual activity. It clarifies the second element the government must prove: that Ms. Maxwell knowingly transported Jane with the intent for her to engage in sexual activity that violates New York Penal Law. The instruction specifies that this illegal purpose did not need to be the sole reason for the travel, but it must have been a "significant or motivating purpose" and not merely incidental to the trip.

2 Engage in Illegal Sexual Activity – Second Element
2 Engage in Illegal Sexual Activity – Second Element
3 The second element of Count Four which the Government must prove beyond a
4 reasonable doubt is that Ms. Maxwell knowingly transported Jane in interstate commerce with
5 the intent that Jane engage in sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal
6 offense in violation of New York law.
7 Like Count Two, Count Four alleges sexual activity for which an individual could be
8 charged with a violation of New York Penal Law, Section 130.55, Sexual Abuse in the Third
9 Degree. I have already instructed you regarding that crime, and those instructions apply equally
10 here.
11 In order to establish this element, it is not necessary for the Government to prove that the
12 illegal sexual activity was Ms. Maxwell’s sole purpose for transporting Jane across state lines. A
13 person may have several different purposes or motives for such conduct, and each may prompt in
14 varying degrees the person’s actions. The Government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt,
15 however, that a significant or motivating purpose of Jane’s travel across state lines was that she
16 would engage in illegal sexual activity. In other words, the illegal sexual activity must not have
17 been merely incidental to the trip.
