Summary
This document is a court transcript of an opening statement by defense attorney Ms. Sternheim regarding a witness named 'Kate'. The text characterizes Kate as an ambitious former actress and model who maintained a decade-long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, including sending him emails and photos while he was incarcerated. The defense argues Kate was above the age of consent in all relevant jurisdictions (UK, NY, FL) and implies her testimony may be unreliable due to admitted drug use.

1 Now, here's what we expect Kate to talk about:
2 Now, Kate has admitted that she's ambitious. She led
3 a jet-setter lifestyle. Before meeting Ghislaine and Epstein,
4 she was in a relationship with a man twice her age, a former
5 Oxford classmate of Ghislaine, a friend of Ghislaine, a
6 prominent older British gentleman. Kate was above the age of
7 consent in Britain. And when she came to the United States,
8 she was above the age of consent in New York and in Florida and
9 anywhere else she claims she had been.
10 Now, she will tell you that she used drugs during the
11 period of time that she will testify about, and that it fogged
12 her memory. And you will learn that she eagerly spent time
13 with Epstein and, at times, with Ghislaine. But what is really
14 telling is the emails that she sent to Jeffrey Epstein,
15 continuing a relationship with him for over a decade. She
16 maintained contact with Epstein when he was in jail; she

18 over, she contacted him, eager to visit with him and stay with
19 him.
20 Now, Kate is a 44-year-old former actress, model, and
21 socialite from the United Kingdom. She has lived in the States
22 for years, coming here on an entertainment visa. She is no
23 longer in the entertainment business.
24 When Epstein died, she pointed the finger at
25 Ghislaine. And you should wonder why she's here. She is not
