This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, likely US v. Ghislaine Maxwell) filed on August 10, 2022. Defense attorney Ms. Menninger argues against admitting a topless photograph of a female subject found in Jeffrey Epstein's possession in 2019, stating the photo dates to 2002 when the subject was of age. Menninger argues that introducing the photo creates a '403 problem' (prejudice) because the prosecution will not call the subject to testify due to her 'credibility problems.'
