This document is page 60 of a court transcript (Opening Statement by Ms. Sternheim) filed on August 10, 2022, likely from the Ghislaine Maxwell trial (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The defense argues that unlike the 9/11 fund, the Epstein compensation fund claims were based on 'unreliable' memories. The text focuses on an accuser named 'Jane,' describing Epstein as a 'benefactor' who paid for her professional schooling, vocal lessons, and a Wall Street apartment where she lived with her family.
