Summary
This document is a page from court transcripts (Jury Instruction No. 20) regarding the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. It details the legal elements for 'Count Four,' specifically the charge of transporting an individual ('Jane') under the age of 17 in interstate commerce for illegal sexual activity between 1994 and 1997. The instruction clarifies that Maxwell did not need to physically transport the victim herself, but that making arrangements, such as purchasing tickets, satisfies the legal requirement.

1 And third, that the defendant knew that the individual
2 was less than 17 years old at the time of the acts alleged in
3 Count Four of the indictment. Count Four also relates solely
4 to Jane during the time period 1994 to 1997.
5 Instruction No. 20. Count Four. Transportation of an
6 individual under the age of 17 to engage in illegal sexual
7 activity. First element.
8 The first element of Count Four which the government
9 must prove beyond a reasonable doubt is that Ms. Maxwell
10 knowingly transported Jane in interstate commerce as alleged in
11 the indictment. The phrase "to transport an individual in
12 interstate commerce" means to move or carry or cause someone to
13 be moved or carried from one state to another.
14 The government does not have to prove that Ms. Maxwell
15 personally transported Jane across a state line; it is
16 sufficient to satisfy the element that Ms. Maxwell was actively
17 engaged, either personally or through an agent, in the making
18 of the travel arrangements such as by purchasing tickets
19 necessary for Jane to travel as planned. Ms. Maxwell must have
20 knowingly transported or caused the transportation of Jane in
21 interstate commerce. That means that the government must prove
22 that Ms. Maxwell knew both that she was causing Jane to be
