Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, US v. Maxwell) filed on August 10, 2022. Prosecutor Ms. Comey argues for the admissibility of evidence showing a 'sexually suggestive photograph of a young girl' located in the entryway to the bedroom where Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein allegedly slept. Comey argues this proves Maxwell's knowledge of the environment, countering the defense's portrayal of Epstein as an upstanding citizen surrounded by prominent people.

3 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, we consent to the exclusion of
4 the other photograph because we understand your Honor's ruling
5 about the prejudice, especially when taken out of context, but
6 here the probative value is extraordinary when it is taken in
7 context, especially after Mr. Alessi's testimony about the fact
8 that the defendant spent the majority of her nights in this
9 bedroom with Mr. Epstein and the testimony that this is where
10 many of the massages took place that are the subject of the
11 charges here. It is extremely probative of the defendant's
12 knowledge that, in order to walk into that room, you have to go
13 by a sexually suggestive photograph of a young girl.

15 that the defendant is alleged to have had had any sort of
16 sexual involvement with prepubescent minors, and we would

18 defense would like, but I think the fact that there is a
19 sexualized photograph of a clearly underage female in the
20 entryway to that room is highly probative.
