Summary
This document is page 11 of a court transcript from the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on August 10, 2022. Prosecutor Ms. Comey argues for the admission of a photograph (Exhibit 250) found in the 'lake room' of Epstein's home, which depicts Epstein with a young girl across his lap, appearing to pull down her underwear. The prosecution argues this is probative because it was prominently displayed in the house that Maxwell 'ran' as the 'lady of the house,' while Defense attorney Mr. Everdell objects, calling it prejudicial and an attempt to backdoor evidence.

11 MS. COMEY: Yes, your Honor. That photograph is
12 displayed on the bookshelves behind Jeffrey Epstein's desk in
13 the lake room that Mr. Alessi testified about. On those
14 bookshelves, there are a number of photographs on different
15 shelves. One of those photographs is a photograph of Jeffrey
16 Epstein with a young girl across his lap and he appears to be
17 pulling down her underwear and indicating like he's going to
18 bite on her backside. That appears to be what it looks like.
19 He prominently displayed that by his desk, the desk in the
20 house that the defendant ran, where she was the lady of the
