This document is a page from a court transcript (likely from the appeal or trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, Case 22-1426) containing jury instructions (Charge). It details the legal requirements for proving Counts Two and Four, specifically focusing on the transportation of a minor ('Jane') across state lines for illegal sexual activity. The instructions clarify that the government must prove Maxwell knew Jane was under 17 and that the failure to actually accomplish the sexual activity is not a defense if the intent was present during transportation.
